Thirteen sophomores from the region have already made college commitments. (You can check the rundown below.) Two of those commitments have come in the last 24 hours. As we told you yesterday here and today on InsideLacrosse.com, Liam Blohm, a longstick midfielder from Syosset, opted for Ohio State. As we reported earlier today on Twitter, […]
There was a definite Ohio State feel in the hallways of Syosset High School today. The fact that Ryan Hunter was wearing a red Ohio State T-shirt and Ohio State baseball cap hardly came as a surprise. After all, the senior attackman committed to play at OSU back in October, 2010. But the newest Brave […]
Suffern is no stranger to the Section 1 championship. In addition to having hosted the event (including last season), the Mounties have also played in it quite a bit – a total of nine times. The Mounties last appeared in the final in 2003, losing to Lakeland/Panas 11-7. If they are to make it back this […]
The nation’s No. 1 hotbed for lacrosse, the New York/New Jersey/Connecticut tristate region, will be well represented when 400 of the nation’s top underclass lacrosse players compete in the Brine National All-American Lacrosse Classic set for June 30 through July 3 in Boyds, Md. A total of 16 regional teams, including three from New York […]
Yorktown has been a big topic of discussion here of late. For starters, Yorktown completed its 2012 schedule. As usual, it is among the most competitive of any high school team from sea to shining sea. The Huskers have also had several recent college commitments, bringing their total number of future collegiate players to 14. […]
It’s become the lacrosse equivalent of a best-of-three series. CHSAA rivals Chaminade and St. Anthony’s square off twice during the regular season, and then, invariably, once more, in the postseason championship game. Neither team has swept a season series since 2006. St. Anthony’s enters the season having won three straight Catholic League titles. Last year, […]
Ridgefield has never won back-to-back Connecticut state championships. That possible achievement is front and center on the Tigers’ radar as they prepare to start the 2012 season. Leading the way in pursuit of that goal will be senior Eric Scala. The 5-foot-10, 180-pound lefty attackman/midfielder, accepted a scholarship offer from the University at Albany. Now […]

Perhaps the marquee regular-season Section 1 game on the calendar has established its own tradition of late. The Yorktown-John Jay game has become the traditional season opener for the Section 1 season. And this coming season will be no different. The teams will meet Saturday, March 31 at Yorktown’s Charlie Murphy Field at 1 p.m. […]
Hen Hud will be competing in Class C this upcoming season. The Sailors will certainly have the star power to contend for the Section 1 championship. Just over a month after junior faceoff specialist Matt Ledwin committed to Johns Hopkins, the Sailors saw another standout give a verbal to one of the nation’s top D-I […]
Lakeland/Panas will be looking to advance to the Section 1 finals for the fifth straight year in 2012. To do it, the Rebels will need to win the possession game. To that end, Chris Monteferante will play a prominent role. Monteferante is one of the premier faceoff specialists in the tristate region. The senior, who […]
Benny Borgognone brings a football mentality to the lacrosse field. That should hardly come as a surprise. After all, he’s a standout linebacker for Manhasset. Borgognone, a sophomore, describes himself as an aggressive, possession first defenseman. Those are traits similar to his brother, Frank, a senior defenseman for Manhasset, who has signed to play at […]
Few teams in the tristate area have had more preseason anticipation about the injury status of two of its key players than Darien. As we told you when we launched Year 3 of our preseason “Player’s perspective” feature, Duke University-bound senior attackman Case Matheis has been rehabbing his suffering a torn meniscus in last year’s state […]
It’s been a busy week for recruiting commitments for one of the nation’s most tradition-rich programs, the Yorktown Huskers. Longstick midfielder/defenseman Austin Fusco, one of the nation’s top sophomores, verbally committed to Syracuse. If you were with us bright and early this morning on Twitter, you learned of another Husker who decided where his destination […]
