  1. Joe Lombardi

    Thanks Goldie. And also thanks to Josh Thomson for stopping by the Section 1 office today and picking up the sports booklets w/ classifications and alignments.

    Also gang – we have a bit of a flip flop. I originally reported the state semis would be in Hofstra this year. I was then informed they had been moved to West Point. Well – I received final (hopefully) definitive word today that they will be in Hofstra. Hope that's the end of the back and forth on this. The state finals will also be at Hofstra — and they are a bit later this year too — on Saturday, June 14.

    Mamaroneck lefty attackman Shane Ferguson has made his college choice. Be sure to check out the "Daily recruiting update": http://boyslacrosse.lohudblogs.com/2007/08/12/late-summer-recruiting-update/ thread for the details.

    Poor Roosevelt; how do they end up in class a, when they don't have any lax in the whole city? Those poor kids work hard for 4 weeks before the season just to learn how to cradle… why doesn't section 1 do relegation like in pro soccer? you win, you move up… you lose, drop down…

  4. chris

    Those breakdowns are the ones based on school enrollment, I would assume.
    Roosevelt is in the C division for lax.

  5. hotbed

    class a title game—TOWN v.Clarkstown South

    key players—RockY & MIKE B v. comfort
    class b title game—JAY v.SOMERS
    drew, bocklet, latino v. marasco
    class c title game—Rye v. Byram
    gordon v. lorfink, kaufman, carpentieri

  6. Section 1 Player

    i don't know about the class b game

    Somers lost a lot to graduation

    yes jojo and cope are good but i don't think somers has the surrounding players to make it to the title game

  7. laxer47689

    to hotbeds post:

    i agree with you on all three title games – just a quick question thing

    for the Rye v. Byram game…ive never heard of kaufman or carpentieri

  8. jo jo

    Title games

    Class A Yorktown 15 vs. Lakeland 8

    Class B John Jay 12 vs. Brewster 6

    Class C Rye 7 vs. Put Valley 6

  9. hotbed

    stefan carpentieri is a 6'2 junior middie

    he played onn iona as a freshman and led byram with scoring as a sophmore

    kaufman is a lsm with a really nice shot

  10. ...

    i think briarcliff is there before byram much more disaplined better coach better team this year

  11. laxx

    byram beat briarcliff 5-2 last year in a game where they played awful

  12. Erik

    Not saying that the team I support will play rye in title game, but didn't Pleasantville bash Byram by 8 or 9 goals last year against those very same players they have back this year? Last I heard P'Ville has their entire defense back except their goalie and return all of their leading scorers back except one. To be honest though, I bet Putnam Valley and Pleasantville would love to read those finals predictions…We havent heard too much from either of those teams this off-season. At least not TOO much.

  13. baller52

    erik, you bring up a good point, pville lost their goalie, i believe an all section defender and dean rossi who had the ability to carry the game at any pace he wished also with regards to the byram pville game from last year, that was byrams worst game of the season and got out of hand when byrams goalie took penalties and they had no backup goalie, pville capitalized and was able to run up the score, but i think class c is wide open and any of the teams can win as ive said before i am excited for the season to start

  14. Hotbed...

    To correct you i believe Jimmy Comfort has graduated from Clarkstown South…They are lead by James Devine who is going to Bryant, Tom Riley who is going to RIT and Luke Haggerty who is an undecided senior. I see Clarkstown making it far but i dont know if they have the firepower to beat a team like Lakeland, Yorktown but with one of those middies with a shorty is a pretty dangerous situation for opposing defenses.

  15. Lax watcher

    C South will be a solid team, but keep in mind that james devine is a great defensive middie and is going to bryant for that. i think south has trouble scoring this year, particularly against good teams.

  16. laxer

    to hotbed, haggerty is a junior at south, and is still undecided. i agree though south is a team to watch this year

  17. LAX

    Some good news guys John Jay vs. Yorktown will be shown on MSG.
    http://www.msg.com/content_news.jsp?articleID=v0000msgn20080205T171529476&newsgroup=ap.sportsml.columnist.article&sports=general&team=other&league=general

  18. John

    Does anyone know about Byram Hills…i hear about there bad attitude and w.e. but can they play, they have a pretty tough schedule this year?

  19. laxstar

    Attitude and what not aside, byram hills has alot of talent on their senior heavy team. They may be, however, a little over their own heads in a league including John Jay, Rye and other section 1 powerhouse teams.

  20. laxer

    i think byram hills is way over their heads. This is their first year they play legit teams.

  21. truth be told

    I think people should really watch our for North Salem in class C/D. I watched a scrimmage this year and they really showed me alot. Im not saying to put them down as state champions, but watch for them when sectionals roll around.

  22. laxxxin3456

    Class A
    Yorktown-14 L/P-8

    -Interlicchio has another big day vs LP while Ranagan is a horse between the lines for Town again…

    Class B
    John Jay-16 Brewster-9

    -Bocklet has a great day to wrap it up for his senior year…

    Class C
    Rye-13 Put Valler-8

    -Rye's Gordon is too much to handle for PV's D…Ryes D shuts them down…

  23. NYLax10

    There is no way that PV scores 8 goals on Rye. Rye has not given up more than 6 goals this season to a section 1 opponent, and even that only happened once (against Yorktown). Rye is going to smoke whoever they play in sectionals. Let's focus more on Class A and B.

    I think Town is going to bring their A game to the playoffs. We saw it last year (hell, they gave West Islip a run at their money).

  24. lax fan 77

    SEC 1 Preditions

    Class A
    Yorktown 9- L/P 10

    Class B
    JJ 14- Brewster 8

    Class C
    Rye 4- PV 5 OT

    Good Luck and try to make it
    a positive experience for all envolved

  25. Syracuse

    That is some funny stuff there. Jay will dominate the hottest team in the section while Yorktown and Rye will lose heartbreakers to L/P and PV, respectively. I think many people on this board SERIOUSLY overrate John Jay. It's almost ridiculous.

  26. lax fan 77

    Syracuse
    Thats why they call it a predition
    I have a pretty good track so far

  27. Syracuse

    Yeah but by saying what you are saying you believe Jay to be a 5-goal better team than Yorktown. I can't see how anyone can justify that other than by saying "that's my opinion."

  28. LAxfan

    Class C section championship : Rye vs Byram Hills, Byram wins by 1 in OT, Byram has beat every other team in it's class except Rye, and the championship should be a good one

  29. L@X

    did u go to the BH Rye game. appeartly not otherwise u would know that rye has blown away every C team the have played. rye wins by 5 at least, to ever they play

  30. laxref23

    There are a lot of good C teams that are not being recognized. Why do people say it is only between Rye and Byram Hills? Several C teams can hand Byram an upset. Joe what do you think? Is Byrum/ Rye a sure thing?

  31. lacrosse123

    In my not so expert opinion, Byram – Rye is a definite match up for the finals. It is looking like Rye will be 1 seed, Byram 2, Put Valley 3, and Briarcliff 4. If that is the case, Byram will end up playing Put Valley [and they already beat them once this year by 3 goals], and Rye wil pick off Briarcliff, leaving Rye and Byram to advance to the finals. What happens there, we will have to wait and see.

About the author
Joe Lombardi Joe Lombardi did not become familiar with lacrosse until after graduating from both Irvington High School and the University of Dayton neither of which offered the sport. But it didn't take him long to take a liking to lacrosse since it combines elements of several of his favorite sports: basketball, hockey and football. In addition to serving as local sports editor of The Journal News and LoHud.com, he also writes the weekly "Catching up with...":http://lohud.com/catchingup feature that appears on Tuesdays. Joe can also be seen each Monday during the school year on RNN's "NewsCenter Now," providing a look at the week ahead in local sports, as well as on "Varsity Central Extra," which appears on Thursdays at 6:30 p.m.
