We told you yesterday that one of Saturday’s big boys games — John Jay at Yorktown — will be a benefit game for multiple sclerosis.

It’s been arguably the game of the year in Section 1 lacrosse for the last eight years or so. But when John Jay and Yorktown play, it’s more than a game, it’s a community event. With that in mind, the two communities have worked together to help special causes. In the last few years, […]
The regular season on Long Island will officially wrap up Week 1 with some interesting matchups. Cold Spring Harbor, the preseason No 1 seed in Conference 4, hosts Syosset, the No. 1 preseason seed in Conference 1, in a 7:30 p.m. game. In another night game, Bethpage, with three college-bound seniors in defensemen Paul Bitetti […]
Today is just the start of what promises to be an eventful week. One that ends with a pair of showdowns of note: John Jay vs. Yorktown in the Hudson Valley and West Islip vs. Chaminade on Long Island. Be sure to check our poll question as we will be soliciting your thoughts on both […]
During much of its 33-year history, the Empire State Games served as one of the premier recruiting showcases for college lacrosse coaches. Since the Games were suspended the last two years because of budget cuts, those coaches have gone elsewhere to find future players. But ESG could be three letters back on every college coach’s […]
Photo by Jim Stout/MaxPreps.com For the last two years, Garden City rode an unyielding defense to back-to-back appearances in the New York State Class B championship game. So far this young season, the Trojans have taken a different route to success. And it’s downright offensive. Literally. GC has racked up 41 goals in its first […]
When you combine a marquee regular-season matchup with several of the most stacked annual preseason events, today may wind up being one of the most intriguing Saturdays of the entire season. Wait, the season hasn’t even started — the regular season, at least — for most teams in the nation’s No. 1 hotbed for lacrosse, […]
It’s never a good idea to ever read too much into scrimmages. Or even worry about the final scores of them. If there is such a thing. After all, they are scrimmages. But yesterday’s much-awaited annual preseason encounter between two of the region’s premier programs, John Jay and Darien, did provide plenty of valuable takeways. […]
If the game between Garden City-Syosset serves as the annual lidlifter for the regular season of Long Island lacrosse, then the annual John Jay-Darien scrimmage similarly marks the start of things in the Hudson Valley/Connecticut region. Granted, it’s not an actual game, but it has been as anticipated and talked about as many — if […]
In case you missed it yesterday, the schedule for Saturday’s four-team Darien Jamboree is set. The event includes West Islip, Shoreham-Wading River, Fairfield Prep and the host Blue Wave. Meanwhile, some slight tweaks were made to the schedule for Saturday’s fourth annual, eight-team Somers Red/Gray Preseason Tournament. Here’s the final schedule: TURF 1 (Scoreboard) TURF […]
Many wondered how the loss of such defensive standouts as Stephen Jahelka and Brian Fischer would affect Garden City. Well, defense was anything but a question in the Trojans’ 13-8 season-opening win over visiting Syosset yesterday. That’s because GC was too busy putting on what was quite an impressive offensive display. Led by Liam Kennedy’s […]

Here’s the schedule: 8AM – WARM-UP DARIEN & SHOREHAM-WADING RIVER ON THE STADIUM TURF FAIRFIELD […]
The wind-chill factor will be a, well, non-factor. But one thing will remain the same. While the temperatures are expected to hover at or above the 70-degree mark on this first day of spring, Garden City will be opening the season in a familiar way. Against the Syosset Braves. It’s been that way the last […]
As we noted here yesterday, a handful of Long Island teams played their openers last week. Most, though, will be getting thing started this week. Many Section 1 and some Section 9 teams get things started next week, with most Connecticut and New Jersey squads getting going the week after that. In boys action today, […]
