Boys lacrosse in the Lower Hudson Valley with Joe Lombardi

It's playoff time…

May
6

 in the CHSAA. (Relax everyone else).

The CHSAA playoffs begin Wednesday, with home games at the higher seeds at 4:30 p.m.

The seeds are as follows: No. 1 Iona Prep; No. 2 Fordham Prep; No. 3 Monsignor Farrell; No. 4 St. Francis Prep; No. 5 Stepinac; No. 6 Mount St. Michael; No. 7 St. Joseph’s by the Sea; No. 8. Xaverian/

So is this just a coronation for Iona Prep? The Gaels are looking for their second straight league championship are are the solid favorite to do so. They haven’t lost a league game and beat No. 2 seed Fordham Prep 16-3 in the teams’ last matchup. But that came after an 8-7 triple overtime win in the first meeting.

With Nick Trizano, Myles Gillespie, Gus Guido, Iona Prep has two of the top scorers in the area.

Could Fordham Prep—or anyone else—give Iona Prep any trouble?

    the only team that should give iona prep any trouble is….iona prep. we have seen that when they are at thier prime they are one of the top teams in the section. if they play the way they have been lately, they should be able to to run right through the playoffs. but keep an eye out for fordham as well. they always come out hyped when they play iona and it should be fun to watch.

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 Ñ 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.
