In-game battles: Coach Patrick Friel said the center mid-field line is where much of the action will take place in this game. Both teams have a strong center line and victory, Friel said, will most likely go to the team controlling the center mid-field. 

Interesting fact: Brentwood was on a 76 game winning streak last year when Commack unseated them as the League 1 champions, despite the fact that Brentwood went on to beat Commack in the Suffolk County semi-finals.
