NORWICH – Not too long ago, the Norwich-Seton Catholic Central rivalry was among the best in the Southern Tier Athletic Conference.

The Purple Tornado have dominated recent iterations winning by double digits the last three meetings, but in tonight's 7:45 p.m. clash, there is a lot more at stake than usual, and the Saints appear much improved over last season.

"I saw them earlier this season in the Greene Tournament, and they are a team that plays with a lot of desire and passion," said Norwich coach Tom Collier. "They were a fun team to watch."
