I’ve for Rye scrimmaging PAC today at 2:30 and note you mentioning IP vs PAC at 4:30??
Both scrimmages are at Mahopac – Rye vs. ‘Pac at 2:30, followed by Iona Prep-‘Pac at 4:30 p.m.
Greenwich topped Brunswick. CT public school teams only started practice last Mon. Brunswick had a 3 week head-start including a spring-break trip to Florida. Standard Brunswick team – older, mature kids (kids are held-back upon entering the school) with plenty of depth. Greenwich was impressive – Foote (Loyola) and Moeser (Hofstra) clearly among the top mids in the tri-state. Greenwich goalie (don’t know name) was solid.
Thanks.
slacrosse, any color on the Rye PAC scrimmage from yesterday?
Pretty close play all around with not a lot of scoring. Pac had another srimmage with IP following so substituted freely. I know Rye looked better then their previous scrimmage as they had 2 of 3 of their missing starters back. But still work to do. PAC looked good and in particular their attack #33 and LSM 17 stood out to me.
Webster Thomas 9, Penfield 7 (final)
North Rockland over Pine Bush 12-3!
Michella has 8 assists for NR. Senatore 4gs
thats a nice rebound effort for North Rockland after getting crushed by Byram Hills over the weekend in a scrimmage.
Final – Pearl River 9 Westlake 6
