First came New Jersey.

Then Nassau. And Suffolk.  And the PSAL. Followed by the South-West Connecticut Conference and Section 1.

Today, more postseason high school tournament pairings from  the nation’s No. 1 hotbed for lacrosse, the New York/New Jersey/Connecticut tristate region, will be unveiled.

We are expecting to have seeds for the FCIAC sometime in the morning.

Also during the day, we should have pairings for the Section 9 tournament.

For an overview of the Section 1 playoffs, be sure to check Joe’s rundown from “Lacrosse Monday” on MSG Varsity’s “High School SportsDesk.”

Now, a quick word about the CHSAA.

There are eight teams in the CHSAA A Division and two teams — Iona Prep and Fordham Prep — in the AA Division. For postseason play, the top two teams from A play the top two teams from AA in the first round.

After the two teams that moved up from A to AA to play, they come back down to play in the A bracket.

With that in mind, Stepinac starts playoff action with an AA game today at 4:30 p.m. against an Iona Prep team that is red-hot and played Chaminade to a 9-5 game yesterday.

Stepinac’s first-round Class A game is scheduled for Saturday vs. Cardinal Hayes.

The Section 1 Tournament kicks into high gear with first-round games tomorrow.

Today, there are three outbracket games in Class C.

At 4:30 p.m., No. 16 Pearl River hosts No. 17 Westlake and No. 14 Hastings plays at No. 19 Briarcliff. No. 15 Blind Brook hosts No. 18 Pleasantville at 5 p.m.

Postseason action in one of the region’s most competitive classes, Section 11 (Suffolk) Class A starts today with four first-round games:  No. 12 Half Hollow Hills West plays at No.  5 Bay Shore (with the winner advancing to the quarterfinals at No. 4 Sachem North);  No. 11 Walt Whitman visiting No. 6 Smithtown East (the winner goes to No. 3 Ward Melville);  No. 10 Half Hollow Hills East at No. 7 Sachem East (with the winner advancing to play at No. 2 Smithtown West) and No. 9 West Babylon at No. 8 Northport (with the winner playing at No. 1 West Islip).

In a Nassau County Class B quarterfinal doubleheader today, Manhasset will take on Bethpage and Wantagh will face Carey at Hofstra University.

Finally, in a game with no postseason implications, but an intriguing test just the same, Fairfield Prep hosts CHSAA power St. Anthony’s at 5 p.m.

America’s first lacrosse movie, “Crooked Arrows,” will be premiering on Friday. To find out the selected theaters in which you can watch it on Friday (before its national release June 1), click here.
