La Salle College High School Still Undefeated

One wonders what is better, going undefeated in the regular season or not having a "they have to lose sometime" mentality dogging you in the post-season. With recent 8-0 and 9-1 wins over Monsignor Bonner and Cardinal O'Hara the Explorers are continuing their undefeated season. Twenty-four games into a thirty-four game schedule La Salle has yet to lose despite tough competition in two tournaments and playing what is debatably the toughest non-league schedule in Eastern Pennsylvania. With games coming up against New Jersey strongmen Christian Brothers Academy, The Lawrenceville School, Bergen Catholic High School, and Malvern Prep the tail end of the season may in fact be the toughest part. No doubt Head Coach Walter Muehlbronner is trying to keep the team focused on hockey and not on the games, but going into the Flyers Cup and perhaps the state tournament undefeated has to add an almost palpable pressure. They may be better off suffering a loss to one of the very good teams they have coming up just to get it out of the way when it does not matter.
