The regular season in high school lax has started everywhere. But that doesn’t mean recruiting commitments have stopped. As we told you yesterday on Twitter, another highly regarded tristate sophomore has made his college choice. Grant Limone, a 6-foot-3 goaltender at Weston (Conn.) who had 15 saves in a season-opening win over Masuk, has verbally […]

[…]
We have a nice mix of intersectional/conference games with some regional showdowns on tap for this Lacrosse Saturday. Let’s start in Connecticut, where 2010 FCIAC champ Greenwich hosts 2011 Class M state champion Wilton at 11 a.m. If you don’t make it out to the game, you can watch the premiere broadcast on Monday, April […]
Photos by Ray Nelson In Round 1 of the Chaminade-St. Anthony’s annual best-of-three series, it was a game of runs. The Flyers, who took both regular-season meetings last year before falling in the CHSAA final to St. Anthony’s for tht third straight year, prevailed 6-5. Chaminade won it on a goal by University of Virginia-bound […]
As you would expect, with the observance of Good Friday and Passover beginning at sundown, today is a light day. One game that bears watching is in the prep school ranks. National power Salisbury (Conn.) visits a Berkshire School (Mass.) team that is fresh off a game against Deerfield(Mass.). There was no shortage of big […]
Considering the long and proud history of the St. Anthony’s/Chaminade rivalry, last year was a somewhat unusual year. After all, it seems, much more off than not, the teams split their regular-season series before playing a “rubber match” that just happens to be for the CHSAA title. But last year was a noteworthy exception. That’s […]
A defending Connecticut state champion — and the defending FCIAC titlist — get things going today. Ridgefield, which beat Fairfield Prep in last year’s Class L title game, hosts Greenwich, the 2010 FCIAC champs, in a 6 p.m. game at Tiger Hollow Stadium. Darien, which beat Ridgefield in last year’s FCIAC championship clash, hosts Fairfield […]
There will be a game within the game when Byram Hills visits Clarkstown South today at 5:15 p.m. The contest features an intriguing goalie battle between two of Section 1’s premier netminders — seniors Andrew Larrabee of Byram and Kris Alleyne of South. Larrabee, who became the Bobcats’ all-time saves leader last week (surpassing Pancho […]
If this week’s action winds up producing anything close to the excitement we saw last week – and most specifically on Saturday – then get set for a wild ride. Most schools in the region are off on break this week, which means starting times will vary — with morning, afternoon and evening days games. […]
To say it was a memorable 24-hour stretch for Chris Cousin would be a big understatement. The morning after helping Somers pick up a 14-6 season-opening win over visiting Iona Prep, Cousin decided on his college future. The senior goaltender verbally committed to attend Holy Cross. His decision means he will be joining his twin […]
Photos by Ryan Rabidou Let’s play three. The Konica Minolta Big City Classic tripleheader is set for Sunday at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. Action starts at 1 p.m. as Notre Dame faces St. John’s. Duke takes on Syracuse at 4 p.m . The final game features a 6:30 p.m. contest between Johns Hopkins and North Carolina. […]
Photos by Ray Nelson Chaminade’s Matt Graham (above) about to unleash the shot that resulted in the game-winning goal in the closing seconds of the Flyers’ 7-6 win over West Islip today, and (below), after releasing it. Today’s most highly anticipated high school games in the region did not disappoint. Yorktown rallied from a two-goal […]
March will be going out like lion. In more ways than just the raw, wet weather that is forecast for today. Some of the season’s marquee matchups are on tap for today as well. John Jay takes on Yorktown in what has become the unofficial Section 1 regular-season game of the year the last decade. […]
The weather this time of year can be pretty unpredictable. So too can the annual, early season boys game between Iona Prep and Somers. After all, the teams will be meeting for the fifth straight season. Each of the last three years, the game was decided by one goal. You can watch the game in […]
This weekend’s John Jay-Yorktown game will have to go a long way to top this week’s John Jay-Yorktown game. Confused? Don’t be. The John Jay-Yorktown boys, of course, play on Saturday at 1 p.m. at Charlie Murphy Field. Yesterday, the schools’ varsity girls teams squared off, and Yorktown pulled out a 17-16 win as Stefanie Ranigan […]
