Herschel Halesworth is one of the most promising young football and lacrosse players in New York’s Hudson Valley. After all, how many eighth-graders are the focus of a story detailing their potential? (See that story from back on April 5 on Lacrosse Insider here.) Halesworth made an immediate impact on the Sleepy Hollow High School […]

Kennedy Catholic in Somers, N.Y., is making a big splash in its first season in the CHSAA, riding an eight-game win streak. The Gaels […]

Photos by Dave Anderson/MaxPreps.com Sean Cerrone scored with one second left in the first overtime to give Chaminade an 8-7 win over visiting St. Anthony’s in a rematch of last year’s CHSAA AAA title game won by Chaminade. Cerrone and Brendan Kearns each had two goals for the unbeaten Flyers (8-0). Kearns added an assist. […]

Sacred Heart University continues to rack in tristate verbal commitments under new coach Jon Basti. The latest comes from a high school program that continually racks up verbal commitments of its own. We’re talking about St. Anthony’s High School in South Huntington, N.Y., where 2015 attackman/midfielder Connor O’Reilly has decided on Sacred Heart, as first […]

Growing up in Manhasset, N.Y., James Roberts became immersed in lacrosse at a young age. It’s a passion for the game that has only grown through the years and will continue to grow even more. Roberts, a Class of 2014 attackman/midfielder at defending CHSAA (N.Y.) AAA champion Chaminade, is not only looking forward to his […]

Comfort level with the campus and the program are often the key factors in a lacrosse recruit’s decision to verbally commit. That was certainly the case with Kyle Quinn. But there was another factor that was equally important for the rising senior at Kellenberg High School (N.Y.), who has decided on Marist College, as first […]

If there’s an early tristate leader for most verbal commitments since the 2013 varsity season ended on June 8, St. Anthony’s would have to be the No. 1. The New York CHSAA power has seen four members of its program give verbals in less than two weeks. The latest came today as rising junior attackman […]

Mike Ruane’s lacrosse career started in second grade when his mother signed him up to give the sport a try. It was well worth it. Now, just over nine years later, the defender/longstick midfielder from St. Anthony’s (N.Y.) will be playing the sport at the Division I level. Ruane verbally committed earlier today to Quinnipiac […]

It may have only been Game 1, but defending New York Class B state champion Garden City looked like it was in championship form yesterday in an 8-4 win over Syosset in the traditional marquee season-starter for tristate lax. It was the fifth straight year the two teams have met in the season opener and […]

When it comes to New York’s CHSAA, much of the discussion here of late has focused between the always intriguing Division AAA race between nationally ranked powers Chaminade and St. Anthony’s. But, as we’ve told you, things will be very interesting in Division AA as well. Iona Prep won the title game 10-9, rallying from […]

Some high school teams in parts of the nation have already started their regular seasons. But among teams in the nation’s No. 1 hotbed for lacrosse, the New York/New Jersey/Connecticut tristate region, we’re still a few weeks away from the first openers. So that gives us some time to continue traversing the tristate to get […]

It was a fantastic finish for Iona Prep last season. The Gaels rallied back from a three-goal fourth-quarter deficit to beat rival Fordham Prep 10-9 for their fifth New York CHSAA Division AA title in the last six years. How does Iona Prep look in 2013? For more, we turn to Ross Schnitzer. The 6-foot-4, […]

The CHSAA championship races are always interesting. This season should be no exception as Chaminade will look to unseat St. Anthony’s in Division AAA and Fordham Prep will look to avenge last year’s one-goal lost to Iona Prep in the Division AA title game. That is among the topics in Joe Lombardi’s latest column for […]

When it comes to CHSAA lacrosse, there is much discussion of the always intriguing St. Anthony’s-Chaminade rivalry. While St. A’s has won four straight AAA titles, despite losing twice during the regular season to the Flyers each of the last two years, there has also been a fair amount of drama in Division AA. After […]

Chaminade’s main mission for 2013 couldn’t be any clearer. The Flyers are aiming to win a CHSAA AAA championship for the first time since 2008, when they beat St. Anthony’s 12-11 in overtime in the title game. But the Friars have bounced back big time since then, beating ‘Nade in the title game four straight […]

Do you remember the 2005 Division I men’s lacrosse national championship game? Danny Jones sure does. In fact, to say it left a big impact on the sophomore at four-time New York CHSAA champion St. Anthony’s would be an understatement. For starters, it was Jones’ first introduction to lacrosse. He discovered it while flipping through […]

Athleticism, size, outside shot, field vision. Name a skill you would want to see in a Division I midfielder and Ben Kocis has it. The junior at Huntington High School (N.Y.) is coming off a successful football season. The quarterback led the Blue Devils to a 7-3 record and an appearance in the Suffolk County […]

We started our fourth annual “Preseason player’s perspective” feature by checking in with a pair of championship teams from this past spring — New York State Class A champion West Islip and Connecticut Class M champion Darien. Today, we visit with another title-winning team from 2012. And 2011. And 2010. And, of yeah, 2009, too. […]

Kris Clarke grew up following the Hofstra men’s lacrosse program. In a couple of years, he will be a part of it. The Chaminade junior midfielder and faceoff specialist has verbally committed to join coach Seth Tierney’s program. The 5-foor-10, 170-pound Clarke, who is also a swimming standout, becomes the Flyers’ sixth junior recruit and […]

St. Anthony’s pulled away for a 17-9 win over rival Chaminade tonight in the CHSAA championship game at Hofstra. The win was especially sweet for the Friars, who last year suffered a 12-11 overtime loss to Chaminade in the title game.
