Stoneham One Win From A State Title

One game, one opponent and 45 minutes. That's all that separates Stoneham from a Division 2 state hockey championship.

The Spartans head to TD Garden Sunday for a 3:15 p.m. matchup with South champion Plymouth South. It's one of six state championship games at the home of the Bruins, with two girls' games and four boys' games, finishing up with the Division 1 contest at 7:45 p.m.

Plymouth South (19-3-2) entered the tournament as the No. 3 seed and proceeded to beat Quincy, 3-1; Medway, 2-1; Canton, 5-3; and in the title game, Medfield, 6-3. The Panthers would love to part of a Patriot League sweep. Unbeaten Hanover, which is playing for the Division 3 title at 11 a.m., won the Patriot Fisher Division title with Plymouth South second.

As for Stoneham (18-4-2), the Spartans entered the North as the No. 2 seed and won three games, beating Tewksbury, 6-2; Pentucket, 5-2; and then Boston Latin in the title game, 2-1.
