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 [...]
We told you yesterday that one of Saturday’s big boys games — John Jay at Yorktown — will be a benefit game for multiple sclerosis. That’s not the only game in the tristate area being played for a special cause this weekend. When Hewlett hosts Syosset on Saturday at 7 p.m., all proceeds will benefit [...]

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 [...]
