Player’s perspective: Bonaparte, Ridgefield (CT) add out-of-state clash vs. Garden City (NY) to schedule
Will Bonaparte (right), signs his National Letter of Intent to attend the University of Maryland this past fall, joined by teammate Micky Carbone, who signed with Providence. During its climb to prominence as one of the premier programs in Connecticut, Ridgefield has benefited from playing a tough out-of-state schedule that has included such tristate powers […]
Player’s perspective: Carbone says Ridgefield (CT) looks to come back strong after falling in conference, state semis
Ridgefield’s boys lacrosse program has progressed to the point where it reloads — and doesn’t rebuild — despite playing in one of the nation’s top conferences, the FCIAC. Expect that to be the case once again this spring. For more, we check in with one of the most hard-nosed and versatile midfielders in Connecticut, RHS […]
Player’s perspective: Malas, Mamaroneck (NY) will be in pursuit of a three-peat this spring
For the Mamaroneck High School (N.Y.) boys lacrosse program, these are the good old days. The Tigers have won back-to-back Section 1 titles, beating North Rockland last season in the final after unseating defending champion Mahopac in 2012 for its first-ever sectional title. But Mamaroneck enters the spring minus a strong senior class, including the […]
Player’s perspective: Devane, Wilton eye shot at another CT state title
It’s not how you start, it’s how you finish. The 2013 Wilton Warriors were living proof of just that. Wilton won the Connecticut Class M state title after starting the season 1-4. One of the catalysts to the 17th-seeded unlikely run to glory was the play of attackman Brendan Devane. Now a senior, Devane will […]
Greenwich (CT) 2016 midfielder Will Perry on his college choice: ‘Providence just felt right’
Sometimes it comes down to location, quality of academic programs, campus size or athletic facilities. For Will Perry, the destination to commit came down to something far more simpler — and probably far more important, too. “Providence just felt right,” the sophomore midfielder at Greenwich High School (Conn.) said. Perry’s commitment to Providence College was first […]
Player’s perspective: Jack Harrington, Greenwich (CT) defender
Greenwich wrapped up a 9-9 season with a 15-5 loss to eventual Connecticut Class L state champion Fairfield Prep in the first round of the CIAC tournament. For a team whose roster was made up of many underclassmen, the Cardinals’ 2012 finish may actually prove to be the start of something big. After all, those […]

Player’s perspective: Thomas Brill, Mamaroneck (NY) goaltender
They were one of the premier feel-good stories of the 2012 season in the tristate region. The Mamaroneck High School Tigers edged defending champion Mahopac 9-8 to win the New York Section 1 Class A championship. It was not only the Tigers’ first sectional boys lax title in history, but one of the most unlikely […]
Player’s perspective: Brendan Devane, Wilton (CT) attackman
Tradition-rich Wilton is enjoying a revival. After hovering around the .500 mark from 2006-2008, the Warriors have won 15 or more games in three of the last four seasons, including 2011, when the Warriors won the Connecticut Class M state championship. The resurgence coincides with the arrival of former WHS standout John Wiseman as the […]
Greenwich (CT) sophomore Decker Curran sets his sights on Michigan lacrosse
Greenwich (Conn.) coach Scott Bulkley describes Decker Curran as one of the most athletic attackmen he’s coached. “Decker has a tremendous shot both spotting up and on the run,” Bulkley said. “He is a tenacious rider and creates scoring situations with his consistent hustle. I love how hard he plays.” Bulkley will get to admire […]
Goaltender Brill from sectional champ Mamaroneck commits to Tampa
The Mamaroneck boys lacrosse was one of the surprise stories in all of New York State last season. The Tigers, who lost eight straight games in the middle of the 2012 season, came out of nowhere to win the Section 1 Class A title, beating defending champion Mahopac 9-8 in the championship game. One of […]
