2008 Flyers Cup Preview Class AØ West Chester Henderson (17-3-1) has had a great season with the tag of Pennsylvania State Champions on their back competing against stiff Class AA and A competition in the Inter-County. Billy Latta and Alex Cottle are as strong of a one-two punch of any team at any level and will lead the Warriors into battle to defend their title.
Ø Perkiomen Valley (17-3-1) is the hottest team in Class A in the season’s 2nd half and on some big games over Methacton and Henderson to close the season. Head coach Dom Dellose’s club is skilled with the emergence of T.J. Fiorello, Logan Nicholson and Mike Christie as three of the top scorers in the ICSHL. The Vikings will be a handful in the playoffs for the Class A field.
Ø Hershey (15-1-0) plays in the CPIHL and sports an impressive record against that competition and against some tough AA foes lost both games to teams from the Suburban. The Trojans have a tough history in the Flyers Cup to overcome and must prove it can win a couple of games. Their draw is pretty tough and they will do something special to make the final 4 over Rustin and Marple Newtown.
Ø Strathhaven (16-2-4) and Bayard Rustin (13-5-3) are two teams who have faced a very tough regular season schedule and could be battle tested enough to really do some damage in the Flyers Cup Class A playoffs.
Prediction: Everyone in Eastern Pa is predicting a West Chester Henderson repeat, which I may be able to buy, but I think Perkiomen Valley’s 5-2 win over the Warriors has piqued my interest that Henderson is not going to walk away with it. Darkhorses have really figured into the Flyers Cup A championship over the past few years, do watch out for Lower Dauphin or West Chester East or possibly Unionville to spring an upset or two.
