There's nothing "clearly biased" I have no affiliation with any of the teams involved. I did not watch the entire games so I can't comment on how good they were called/not called. I know the Scarsdale game, the OT flag was the only one in the game.
The Briarcliff/Bronxville game was a foul, by the book - as i've stated - though I thought it was a little soft to make that call.

I'm not sure what else to say

Updating Section 1 boys lacrosse Bracketology with four forfeits that are becoming official today:

Pawling is forfeiting games to Greeley, Carmel and Edgemont. Yonkers is forfeiting to North Salem. Updates to come online

Imagine more forfeits in baseball and softball to come

Thats going to have some impact on Class B. If Greeley wins vs. Byram that puts them over 500 and everyone they play gets a bonus point. including lakeland
Carmel and Edgemont get 4 more points now as well.

HS Playoffs?!?!
CLASS A- Scars better not stumble and deny us the rematch vs Mamo in the finals
CLASS B- Rye vs Ytown is the matchup. Interested in Somers vs Pac early on too.
CLASS C- Who knows what will happen. Some upsets surely. Round 2 will likely have PV vs Byram, Hen Hud vs TZ. Doubt both top seeds will be in the finals. The higher seeds play grind defense lacrosse, 8-6 and 7-3 games coming!
CLASS D- Sorry to all the other teams but Bcliff vs Bville title match will happen to lax fans delight.

A: Scarsdale is the scary one, but I don't think we can count out North Rockland, if their goalie is hot and they keep playing the way they are, that could be an upset. I would love to see a rematch of 2021 though
B: I don't think Yorktown is as a foregone conclusion as Rye is, JJ peaking at the right moment. That will be an interesting matchup in the Semis. Either way, it's Rye's trophy to lose now.
C: Total tossup Byram is down Rakower now so PV might be pulling the upset in the Quarters. TZ and Pelham on the other Semi is a fun game.
D: Totally agree, it's all about the B's that will be an epic game.

Good luck to all! Everyone is 0-0 right now.

Jumping on the picks bandwagon for the playoffs. Class B & C First rounders today. A&D are tomorrow.

Class B
No. 9 Clarkstown South (7-9) at No. 8 Lakeland/Panas (6-10). Tough one, but L/P Seeding is lower than their talent and I am going with the experience Pick: L/P
No. 10 Harrison (4-12) at No. 7 Greeley (9-7): regular season rematch. Harrison got some starters back and Greeley lost some. Pick: Harrison in a close one.

Class D
No. 9 Nanuet (8-7) at No. 8 Edgemont (8-7) This is a coin toss, but I think Edgemont has the edge Pick: Edgemont

No. 13 Nyack (3-13) at No. 4 Putnam Valley (11-5) Pick: PV Running away

No. 12 Ardsley (4-11) at No. 5 Byram Hills (9-5) Tougher as BH is without their goalie and Rakower, but still better Picl: BH

No. 10 Eastchester (7-8) at No. 7 Hen Hud (9-6) Pick: Hen Hud

No. 11 Brewster (6-10) at No. 6 Pelham (9-7) Pelham has had the better year, Brewster could put a scare in, but the talent lies with, Pick: Pelham

Great picks and write ups!

I agree that the L/P vCS will be a tough game, L/P has been decimated with injuries, but they should win by 4.

Hen Hud and Pelham should be a runaway WINS too

Harrison has an experienced, underclassman playing attack (35G-29A-64pts) and if Greely can limit him, they will win. This game comes down to coaching.

Wow, Byram lost their Goalie and BR (43G, 24A, 67pts), what happened?

How you know Harrison got some starters back and Greeley lost some is amazing. And Byram lost their goalie. Etc. Love, keep it up!

Agree with your picks except Greeley and Nanuet will win.

for the Catholics, Stepinac plays Fordham tomorrow with the winner playing Iona..... Stepinac should cruise to an easy win vs Fordham and I wouldn't be surprised if they beat Iona @ Iona on thursday. Iona has ~20 seniors graduating from the lax team while Stepinac only has 3-4.. Iona's starters are almost exclusively seniors and they looked listless and undisciplined in the last several games with several freshman called up from JV playing quality minutes on attack against Seton Hall Prep. Iona defense was more interested in trash talking and cheap shots when tied 6-6 vs Seton Hall then playing half the 4th quarter man down (2 man down on the winning goal with 40 seconds left)

I think the 8 underclassmen who start for Stepinac are PO'd after the last Iona game they almost won, and they are hungry for the rematch.

Well, we're going to have to wait. The Lacrosse Gods want thunderdome tomorrow with all 4 classes going at the same time. Good luck to all!

I got Greeley wrong and still don't know who wont he Edgemont-Nanuet game
For B & C i went 5-1 with one remaining
A&D for what it's worth, i didn't get my picks up here with the weather delays...
My picks were White Plains & Fox Lane so went 1-1 in A, Westlake in Haldane in D so 2-0

Overall in Round 1 I was 8-2 awaiting the Edgemont-Nanuet game.

Bandwagon Playoff Picks Quarterfinals
Class A: the only tough one here is the Arlington-Suffern game. I think it is a good one, Pick: Arlington
Mamo, Scarsdale and North Rockland easily advance

Class B: Again, the 4-5 game of Somers-Mahopac is the tight one. I think Somers pulls that out
Rye, JJCR & Yorktown in games everyone should play

Class C: If Rakower is back in the lineup, they win a 2-3 goals over PV, If not I think PV pulls it out. Pick: PV
TZ, Pelham and PR (Regardless of who won Nanuet-Edgemont

Class D: No real challenges here, I am going with irvington in my only "upset" pick: Irvington
Bronxville, Briarcliff & Pleasentville.

Quarters were way easier to pick than the first rounds. the 4-5 games the toughest call. Gotta play to win. Good luck to all!

crickets on here... where'd everyone go?

Stepinac beats Iona by 1 at Iona.

Today's games

No. 5 Mahopac at No. 1 Rye: Rye wins by 6

No. 3 John Jay at No. 2 Yorktown: Yikes, JJ has been improving since the first JJ/Y game, Y has had a roller coaster season and there is more pressure on Y to win. I'm going with JJ by 2, since they will be playing with more HHH in this game.

Ultimately, RYE WINS B.

Class C

No. 5 Byram Hills at No. 1 Pearl River: BH wins by 4.

No. 7 Hen Hud at No. 6 Pelham: Pelham in a blow out.
