Any of the top 10 teams can make it to the final four. This years tournament is going to be one of the most exciting ever.

Bloomfield you all are playing some really good ball. Work on your Defense a little & we'll win this year.

Nice to see the Wildcats in the top half of the bracket for a change. No better place to show off their talents than the Bloomfeild Christmas Tournament after all. Good luck boys!

Bloomfield is overrated......Kennett won't win the consolation championship, sorry. Pville could make some noise at 9. Should be a lot of fun to watch, but not a high level of talent throughout.

yea Bloomfield is not over rated. I think that are a group of hard working boys and that they deserve it.

I Dont Think Kennett Will Win The Consolation, I Believe They Can Win The Whole Tournament. They Have Had A couple of kids out but, return during the tourney. Look For Them To Make A Run

I'll say it again. Anyone who does not believe that any one of 10 teams can win this tournament is not paying attention.

Sorry all, I am going to have to go with Bernie on this one. But none-the-less, it's going to be an exciting tourniment throughout.

Well If Kennett Gets Past Malden First Round, They Will Most Likely Play Bernie, (That would Be A Game To See) But I'll Have To Go With Kennett.

And Oh Yeah They Just Beat The #1 Ranked Team In The Tournament Last Night
