A reminder that we'll be live from James Cotter Field at Viola Stadium tonight as No. 3 BC High hosts No. 21 Xaverian in a Catholic Conference clash at 7 p.m.

You can read our brief take on the game in the Forsberg 5. The lingering effects of Hurricane Noel aren't expected to be fully felt in the Bay State until tomorrow, but winds are supposed to pick up a bit this evening. Considering that BC High feels like a wind tunnel on a calm day, we're led to believe that conditions tonight will discourage both sides from passing.

Despite both team's penchant for running the ball, we think this further plays into the hand of BC High. That said, winds could make field position a premium and the steady leg of Paul Asack could give the Hawks an advantage on that end.

Regardless, should be a phenomenal matchup. We'll have some updates and our usual dose of video highlights. Stay tuned.
