Next year every sport but football will be going to geography-based leagues. But girls lacrosse is the first sport to switch over, changing its format from traditional power leagues. My article today takes a behind-the-scenes look at that decision and what it means — positives like less travel and more backyard rivalries, and negatives like unbalanced schedules and less competition.
What does everyone out there think about the new league alignments so far?
You can also read my article from North Rockland-Lakeland/Panas by clicking here, and you can watch a video replay of the game by going to this site and clicking the “on demand” button on the bottom. It was our first time broadcasting girls lacrosse so we’re interested in your feedback.
We have a big day of lacrosse today. (correction: Two Rockland schools play out-of-area teams — Suffern-Ithaca and Nanuet-Auburn) and two up-and-coming Class B programs meet with Scarsdale-Brewster. We also have Tappan Zee-Fox Lane, Albertus Magnus-Somers, Clarkstown South-North Salem, New Rochelle-Pelham, Greeley-Pleasantville, Yonkers-Irvington and Clarkstown North-Mamaroneck.

Thanks Lax,
I corrected the post
the l/p lax player on the cover today was not megan bozek…. her name is bridget mcgovern
pleasantville beats greeley 17- 16 in a great game
other scores for today yet?
Any game where the final score is 17-16 is not a great game. It probably means that there were some ball hogs who ran down the field and took shot after shot. It probably means that the defense did not exist. It probably means that real talented lacrosse where passes are made, plays set up, and the tempo controlled did not exist. It probably means the players took control from their own coaches. It probably means that the refs took the ability to check out of the defenders hands and awarded penalty shot after penalty shot (instead of charge calls).
I’ll take a 8-7 game anyday.
lacrosse fan,
I’ll pass that along to the photo department.
question,
I’m off tonight, but you can find scores on the right side of the VC page (lohud.com/vc). Right now we have Irvington beating Yonkers 15-6 and Nanuet lost 13-12. Anyone out there have more scores?
I must be an idiot… I can’t find scores. I miss Max preps!
Harold, where are they on lohud.com/vc
Found it.
Scarsdale and Brewster tied 12-12
I feel the new leagues are presenting very competitve games across the board….So far they are panning out
One more comment..as a testimony to the alignment…I do not think you will seen any Legue I teams losing to a League II or League III team…
laxrocks,
