There was no shortage of huge stories yesterday in the tristate.
Among them:
* Smithtown East ended West Islip’s run of nine straight Suffolk County championships by beating the Lions 12-4 in the Section 11 Class A quarterfinals.
* For the second straight year, the No. 1 seed fell in the Fairfield County Interscholastic Athletic Conference tournament as No. 4 Greenwich upset No. 1 Ridgefield 6-5. Ironically, last season, Ridgefield upset top-seeded Darien.
* Two Section 1 semifinal games went into overtime. John Jay pulled out a 6-5 win over Rye on a goal by Shawn Smith and Mamaroneck prevailed over Lakeland/Panas 7-6 on a goal by Peter Conley.
