North Rockland over PV?
your thoughts
Both teams seems to be struggling lately so I would consider it a toss up game.
Rock , your best bet is strike while these guys are down( 3 L’s). If you let them score first or they put up a few you may be in some trouble. Hate to say it but my feeling is PV.
Any insights on the other side of the Metro bracket? The Fieldston/Fordham Prep semifinal should be interesting as well. Prep has played Iona tougher every time they have met, and could make things more interesting than one would assume if they played in the final.
PrivateLaxer –
I think Fordham Prep should take it. Fieldston is a good team though. It lost a close one to RCDS and split with Hackley.
I just think with goaltender Chris Moffa and Colgate-bound midfielder Connor Brown, Fordham has two of the top players at their positions in the region.
Any opinions on Class A seedings?
Class A: Yorktown vs. LP was close somewhat in Murphy Cup. Rematch in final won’t be just like last year. Yorktown wins 13-6.
In Suffolk, same thing. West Islip lost to Ward Melville in regular season. In rematch they win 11-5.
Nassau – Farmingdale wins.

Seedings 1,2,3,4 ?
joe,
which game you heading to today? i hear your “replacement” from lax to the max will be at prep/RCDS. any chance of some heated action on the sideline from you two? maybe we could set up a boxing ring on the hill and you two could go at it. a great game followed by a great fight. I got my money on J-lo beating MD in a no contest . hahah but seriously what are your plans for today?
I will be at Iona, CO. Should be quite a media event. Jim Stout, Eastern U.S. media manager for CBS MaxPreps.com, will be there as well. Maybe even News12 or MSG It was good seeing them at both Ridgefield-Darien and JJ-Yorktown last week.
Boxing ring? Haha. Hopefully Mike will see this comment as well so we can get a chuckle out of it later – and be sure to come over and say hi.
Class A seeds in Section 1:
1 – Town
2 – LP
3 – Pac
4 – WP
RCD has kept getting better each week. Mark it down. We will beat IP today.
Somers speed will be neutralized today. It helps the grass hasn’t been cut on the field for 3 weeks in preparation for this game … Lol.
Upset of the season …
Brewster 8, Somers 7 in OT
Iona Prep leads RCDS 3-2 after one quarter. Myles Gillespie scored from Michael O’Hagan for Iona Prep to snap a 2-2 tie with 1:45 left in the period. RCDS tied it at 2-2 on an unassisted goal by J.P. Garry with 4:22 left. Nick Trizano has the other two IP goals.
Haven’t heard anything updates yet RockLax, but I do.think Put Valley will win by say 4-5 goals.
Iona Prep has pulled away to take a 6-2 lead at the half. Nick Trizano has three goals. Myles Gillespie has two goals.
How about this, gang? We just had the ultimate rarity in lax. First time I’ve seen it in a HS game in six years.
RCDS junior goalie Chandler Grinnel had a nice one on one opportunity vs. IP counterpart Kevin Kaiser and cashed in with a goal off a clear. It came with 2:54 left in the third. IP now leads 9-4 after three.
Nick.Trizano finished with eight goals and Iona Prep won 13-6 over RCDS.
IP will play Fordham Prep/Fieldston winner on Wednesday at 6 p.m. at either Gaelic Park at Manhattan College or Poly Prep in the Metro final.
Somers’ JoJo Marasco scored his 200th career goal today as Somers beat Brewster 13-7. Marasco, who had four goals and four assists, now has 202 goals for his career.
joe,
nice job by prep. but one correction, kevin kaiser, the IP goalie, scored on the msg game of the week vs don bosco earlier this year which is sort of ironic.
Prepfan –
Yes he did. It was the first goal of the game too. I talked to both Kevin and Chandler after the game and will have more later on.
FYI – I didn’t mean to say it was the first time a goalie scored in HS in six years. I said it was the first time I personally saw a goalie score in six years. Big difference. So no correction necessary.
BTW – the last goalie I saw do it was Ethan Vedder for Yorktown vs. Somers in 2003.
Somers will roll over anyone in class B John Jay or Greeley have no shot at all. Somers is to athletic and fast. Cake walk to see Nisky who might give us some trouble.
class B Seeding predictions
1 somers
2 JJ
3 greeley
4 brewster
5 hen hud
6 fox lane
7 clarkstown south
8 scarsdale
Singo – LOL. You’re a clown. Ask any coach and they will tell you John Jay is 4-5 goals better than Somers right now. You can’t be serious. JJ is gonna rock their world and everyone knows it. I’m thinking like 12-5. It’s gonna be that bad.
Fieldston edged Fordham Prep 13-12. So Fordham Prep and Iona Prep will not meet for the fourth time for a season straight year.
Fieldston and Iona Prep will play Wednesday at 6 p.m. in the Metro championship game at either Gaelic Park at Manhattan College or Poly Prep in Brooklyn.
Check the main body of this post for more score updates from today.
NR beat PV in OT–dont know score.
JJ beat south 12-3…you really think somers is only 2 goals better than south..cmon now.
[…] Monday’s scores and highlights […]
John Jay has gotten much better since the last Somers game. Looks like Somers has dropped off. I think John Jay wins the Championship in easy fashion 13-8. Somers Coaches are not preparing there team for the stretch run like they should be. Purple Indians and the Savs turn it up!!! The Chief has Spoken!!
How, Chief?
(was dying to say that….)
