Senior defenseman Luke Dutton and unbeaten Bronxville, who have never advanced to a Section 1 championship game, face six-time sectional finalist and two-time defending Class C champ Put Valley today.
Section 1 takes center stage today.
Bronxville, which has never advance to a sectional final in its history, sure looks like it could be headed there this year. The Broncos, off to a 6-0 start, face their sternest test of the season when they visit six-time Class C sectional finalist and two-time defending champ Put Valley at 1 p.m.
Unbeaten Lakeland/Panas faces the first of three straight challenging intersectional games as it hosts Penn Yan at noon at Walter Panas High School in Crompond. The Rebels then face Carthage on Thursday and Shenendehowa on Saturday. Penn Yan is off to a 5-1 start, with loss being a 15-9 setback to Carthage.
Speaking of the Comets (6-1), they face Somers today at West Point.
Led by Dartmouth-bound midfielder Jibran Ahmad, Hackley has looked impressive. The Hornets have won five straight since dropping their season opener to Regis Jesuit of Colorado, which is 13th in the latest MaxPreps.com Xcellent 20 national rankings, released yesterday. Hackley has a chance to pick up a win against a Section 1 team when Ossining makes the short trip down Route 9 to take on the host Hornets at 4:30 p.m.
In Long Island, the schedule is light, but one game of note features national power Chaminade, coming off an 8-7 loss to West Islip, hosting resurgent Fordham Prep (7-2) at 4:30 p.m. Fordham Prep next faces St. Anthony’s in a challenging two-game CHSAA stretch.
Here’s a look at how today’s schedule looks:
White Plains at Suffern at Suffern Middle School, 11 a.m.

I can’t wait to see what #3 does to Ahmad tomorrow. If he plays like he did against M-W, Jibran wont make it too far. He’s bigger, faster, and stronger.
…
This should be good.
Dutton has missed the last two games with a broken thumb…Broncos miss him, but their play speaks to their depth this year where in past years losing a starter would have spelled disaster.
No question, not having Dutton who is 1/3 of a very experienced D line is a huge blow but he will be back by next week and certainly come playoff time so this is one of those things that happens to all teams during the course of a season and requires a team to show its depth. The kid is a very fast great one on one defender with excellent stick skills so he will be sorely missed. He will also be playing in college.
Would love to hear some predictions on this Bronxville/PV game. I’ll say Bronxville 10, Put Valley 7
Thinking 10-4
Tough to gauge because the weather may play a factor plus PV’s lousy field (picture the surface a pool table but not as soft)gives them a decided home field advantage but I say Bronxville wins 11-8.
Bville 10 PV 5.
Book Luck to LP today against Penn Yan.
Brewster FL looks to be an interesting game?
Indeed the Brewster /Foxlane was interesting…At half time it was 6-1 Foxlane. Brewster woke up and came out firing in the second half. Played with intensity on both sides off ball. Just could get enough shots to fall. Scored with with 8 seconds left to make it 6-5. Won the face but ran out of time…
Brewster Foxlane was real interesting…it was 6-1 at half-time. Both teams played decent but Brewster did not get many shots off. They came out firing in the second half, scored with 8 seconds left to make it 6-5. Won the face but ran out of time. Brewster had its chances to win this. Foxlane goalie played well. Over-all a good game to watch with alot of back and forth.
The game between brewster and foxlane was pretty interesting. i would say it is a 4 out of 10. anyway, it was 6-1 at half time. both of the teams played alright, brewster couldnt shoot that much. They woke up and came out shooting alot of balls in the second half. They played intensely on offense and defense. they scored with 8 seconds left to make it 6-5. Won the face but ran out of time. Won the face but ran out of time. Won the face but ran out of time. lol. Over all a good game,
any update on LP/Penn Yan?
Heard it was 8-5 PY. Suprising since PY lost big to Carthage who lost to Somers today.
Any Sufferm – White Plains updates?
suffern won 10-7…Hammershlag got his 100th goal too
Bxville vs PV update??
Somers just beat carthage 14 to 8 at west point
Bville vs PV score?
WOW. Carthage had been blowing people out, beat up on Penn Yan and only lost to Genny by 2 or 3. Penn Yan also just beat LP by a few goals today. Quality W for the Tuskers.
Congrats Somers!!
One heck of a really good win over waht looks like a very strong Carthage team.
Penn Yan 9 LP 5 Final
The Mahopac girls beat Suffern for the first time ever today 8-6
Bronxville -14
P-Valley – 03
is that a final in the PV vs Bxville game? if so, pretty shocking, what happened?
Bronxville-14
Put Valley-3
FINAL
Near, Mcormick, and Grass had outstanding games for the broncos. The defense played very well also. It was obvious that Putnam had not seen a team this strong all season. Bronxville is really proving they can play with the best.
please,PV lost to suffern and L/p who will both roll Bronxville. I’ve seen them all play.
absolutely not. those 3 are phenomenal… theyre all worthy of a number 1 pole. anything less than that isnt going to stop them. the defense is also all 6 feet plus and very athletic with stick skills… they might be the hardest team to match up against in section 1
how can you say that? Bville did better against PV than Suffern did, and their defense played much better than lakeland only letting up 3 goals when lakeland let up close to 10. Bville definitely showing they can play!
you arent making sense anymore… are you advocating for bville or rooting against them?
Why would he be rooting against Bville? He is saying they let in only 3 goals, far less than LP or suffern. I would say he is an advocate for bville
never let the facts get in the way of a good story
final bronxville 14 PV 3
could’ve been a bigger spread i think, but still very surprising
Can anyone provide some details on this game? PV have a tough time containing Grass, Near and McCormick?
PV missing 2 starting middes and a close d-man. No excuses Bville was a good team. Moved the ball well and played good D.
B’Ville missing 1starting D and 1 starting middie as well…both teams were short handed.
Is Bronxville that much better or did PV play really bad?
Didn’t PV lose to Arlington?
How strong is Arlington?
NR 8- Mamaroneck 7
North Rockland 8 – Mamaroneck 7
Nice win for North Rockland, but its a horrific loss for Mamo. Just points out the lousy schedule that Mamo has. North Rockland has a good group of starters but they have zero depth. I think they have maybe 4-5 extra position players. Crazy!
Mamo was missing 2 of their best 4 field players. They were playing without their best close defensemen, who leads their D, and their “x” attackmen. Mamo might not have much depth, but when they have all of their guns, they can play. Look for both of them to return in coming weeks and for Mamo to be at their best ending the season.
Mamo actually has a very tough schedule this year
Sorry Lax and Mamaroneck, no amount of excuses will get you out of this one. You can’t lose to North Rockland, a team that has only gone a combined 4 – 17 in the past two seasons and still claim to be a top team in Class A. That loss crushes that argument. Two players shouldn’t make that much of a difference for a top team.
lax, your either high or biased. Mamo has a good schedule if it was hockey season but its lacrosse season so its a weak schedule.
Actually, they ahve a strong schedule. Bville twice, Fairfield Ludlowe, Weston, Oceanside, and Byram Hills. Really not a weak schedule at all. Also, when you’re missing 40% of your returning starters from the year before, it hurts.
Your arguments are weak. That was a horrible loss. Mamo has not beat a decent team all season and probably won’t. N. Rock not that good.
As much as it hurts me to say, Mamk is down this year. Defense is very strong, but cant make up for midfield weakness at both ends of the field. Attack is barely OK, but will get better if injuries heal. .500 record would probably be OK
Surprising indeed since Bronxville lost to PV @ Bronxville lasr year
Congrats to Bville on a convincing win to say the least.
The W was not surprising but the huge margin certainly was. Did not know how far down PV was this season so went with a 6 goal win. The 11 goal margin shows combo of Bville’s strength for sure and what appears to be a far weaker PV team.
Bville is clearly atop of Class C. Watch out for Byram Hills with their strong goalie.
C is still up for grabs…don’t count PV or BH out quite yet…
Final: Fox Lane 6, Brewster 5
Kennedy 17 Albertus 3
What happened in the Chaminade vs Fordham Prep game? Blow-out?
Any update on Chaminade v. Prep?
Nade 16
Fordham Prep 9
Mahon, Thornton 3-0
Graham 2-1
Schoenhut, Conway 2-0
Flyers went up 4-1 in the 1st qtr and put it away by outscoring Fordham 4-2 in 3rd qtr to go ahead 13-6
Thanks for the update…Gillan’s doing a good job for the Diplomats..thanks for the talent
How did Fordham look? I’m an alumnus and was wondering how the program has been progressing. Thanks in advance.
I’m an alumnus too and the team finally has stability with a good coach. Coach DeLucia had a great win over IP and had a respectable loss against Chaminade. I think that was the most goals given up by Chaminade this year. St A next. Keep it going Rams! Can’t wait to see Fordham start a D 1 college program like Manhattan. There is so much local talent that the team would be good sooner than later. C’mon Mike, make a huge donation to start up that program, lol.
After their big win today, the broncos better get it back in gear for the Greeley game on Thursday. With the talent and amount of returning players, the Broncos should have scheduled some “proving ground” games. Look at who Somers, Yorktown & Lakeland play this week…just saying. You want to be considered good..play some tough teams..Fordham Prep’s not enough..lol
Terrible job on the new rankings, Bronxville at 23 in the country!? Really, they are good for section 1, but who have the played, PV isnt that good. How are they ranked ahead of Brunswick who beat Salisbury! I would love to see Bronxville play a real team before they get crowned that high.
relax… those are strictly computer rankings. its done mathematically based on how much you beat a team in relation to how much the computer predicts you will beat a team… and if the team is home or away. that is in no way official. look on inside lacrosse if you want the real rankings
you’re an idiot those are strictly based off of record, no difficulty is factored in at all
go look at the rating details… then get back to me.
Bronxville plays no one! Their measuring stick games are Greeley and Fordham…please!!!!
A lot of B’Ville haters. Beat HH three years in a row (a lot of talk about beating an ‘established program.’ beat PV CONVINCINGLY and still no love…measuring stick is Greeley, come on…today was supposed to be a measuring stick too…no offense to PV but not looking too strong…
As you know I’m sympathetic to your frustrations on scheduling.
But the bottom line is your schedule–period. You ONLY get serious “one of the top teams in Section 1” status if you beat at least some of the very TOP teams which you know you don’t play.
Move on to getting to Hofstra. Pressure should be put on Bville’s coach to “beg, borrow, or steal” to get non-debatable tough games next season from a universe that should include CT, LI and NJ and upper NYS.
Get to Hofstra which I expect Bville to do. Even if you most probably lose there, there should be enough cudos, press, etc that your coach should be able to get a few really tough games next season including maybe vs TOP Section 1 teams. If you at Hofstra?????……………………..!!!
sorry omitted the word “win” in last sentence.
one of the better Sec 1 teams Bronxville had played in the past the last few years ducked them this year and it wasn’t because they were afraid they would have too easy of a game
what better Sec 1 team was that, lax?
see the Sec 1 post below yours
I agree with this, i know some teams ducked because they didn’t want the possibility of a loss to a team like bronxville. specifically somers and iona, somers who, if i am not mistaken lost to bronxville in a scrimmage a few weeks ago where bronxville was without 2 starting attackmen.
if Greely is considered a measuring stick, it must be a 6 inch ruler

This year Bronxville is a very good section 1C team with some D1 and D3 talent. The problem with section 1 C IMHO, as was the case in the past with RYE and PV is that they don’t schedule tougher out of league games and so even if they win sectionals they usually get crushed by LI. The Bville youth program is solid so I think they will be around for a while. If they don’t schedule some of the old Sec 1 power league teams, they can always do CT, NJ or LI.
Class C (2-4 could be interchangable as season progresses)
1. Bville
2. BH
3. Pvill
4. PV
Hey that’s a fair amount closer score then I would have thought with White Plains getting to within 3 (7-10) of a good Suffern team.
