* Saturday score predictions

Before we get to the first Stacked Saturday of 2014 that includes teams from outside Long Island and the CHSAA, let’s take a quick look back at Friday.

There were quite a few one-goal games:

* Matt Whitcher had six goals and Ben Kocis scored twice as Huntington (NY) beat Shoreham-Wading River (NY) 9-8.

* Sachem North (NY) fell to Archbishop Spalding (MD) 7-6 on a goal with six seconds remaining.

* Nicky Hatzipetrakos had four goals, including the winner in the final seconds, as Syosset (NY) beat Northport  (NY) 12-11.

* Bernards pulled out a 4-3 win over St. Peter’s Prep in a New Jersey classic “baseball score” lax game.

LL2014HSGAMEDAYAlso of note, Smithtown East beat Suffolk County (NY) rival West Islip for the third straight time, winning 10-6. The East-side Bulls are now 2-1. WI is 0-2.

Now, to today.

Week 1 of the Section 1 (NY) season features the unofficial “game of the year” in Westchester County and the Hudson Valley as John Jay visits Yorktown at 4 p.m. For key players, key matchups, and what to watch for in the game, click here.

St. Anthony’s (NY) visits Immaculata (NJ) in a noon matchup of tristate powers. St. A’s is looking for its first win after losing its opener to Loyola-Blakefield (MD).

In a matchup of defending Nassau County (NY) champs, two-time state champion Garden City takes on defending Section 8 Class A champ Massapequa. GC’s first game since 6-1 loss to Smithtown West.

Bronxville (NY) has significantly upgraded its schedule and faces a major test against one of New Jersey’s premier programs in Bridgewater-Raritan (NJ) at 1 p.m.

Jericho (NY) could be an under-the-radar team on Long Island this season. Locust Valley (NY) meanwhile, has already proven it bears watching. The teams meet at 11 a.m. at Jericho.

In New Jersey, a battle of the state’s powers is set for Delbarton as the Green Wave host Summit at 11 a.m.

In another mega matchup in the Garden State, Ridge hosts Chatham.

Turning to New England, Brunswick (CT) plays at Deerfield (MA) and Taft (CT) hosts Phillips Exeter (NH) in a pair of prep showdowns.

Two other tristate prep powers — Lawrenceville (NJ) and Choate Rosemary Hall (CT) — collide at Choate.

Further south, in a doubleheader at Loyola University’s Ridley Athletic Complex in the sport’s age-old and proud traditional homebase, Baltimore, St. Paul’s (Md.) plays Haverford (Pa.) and Gonzaga (D.C.) takes on McDonogh (Md.).
