North Rockland went unbeaten against fellow Rockland County teams in both 2007 and 2008. In 2009, the Red Raiders lost two intra-county games — vs. Clarkstown South and Nanuet. But last year, the Red Raiders endured a sub-par 3-13 season that included a 3-5 mark against county competition. Will North Rockland be back with a […]

I’m not one for hyperbole. But when it comes to a high school lacrosse program, Darien is as good as it gets. The Blue Wave, after all, have won six straight state titles. How many other teams can say that? Clearly, the Blue Wave have been dominant during that stretch. But in 2011, they may […]
