* High School Scoreboard, Friday, 5/23

While most of the lacrosse world will be focused on the action in the sport’s age-old, proud and traditional home base of Baltimore, host of the Final Four, there are championship games in the sport’s always growing, thriving and vibrant No. 1 hotspot, the New York/New Jersey/Connecticut tristate region.

LL2014HSGAMEDAYThe epicenter of today’s varsity action is in the Garden State as New Jersey will be holding its group championship games.

Here’s the rundown.

Group 1 North: No. 3 Glen Ridge at No. 1 Mountain Lakes

Group 2 North: No. 2 Northern Highlands at No. 1 Summit
