Summary: Manhasset should continue its winning tradition in a very down year for the S8-B teams.
Editors Note: We originally missed Roslyn because of their enrollments numbers proximity to Class A.  At the conference meet, Manhasset prevailed by a six-point margin, and a more compressed team. The field will be smaller at Sectionals, tightening up that gap, so it's a coin-toss here, but the edge goes to the compression team.
