A glance at the record suggests this wasn’t the dominant, unbeatable Darien boys lacrosse team that the Blue Wave have sometimes been at times the past few seasons. And that’s probably fair. The record also probably suggests it wasn’t a special season, and that’s probably unfair. Even at 17-5, with the most losses in a […]
WELCOME BACK to the final 2019 episode of the first season of The Long-Stick Podcast, your weekly audio dose of high school boys lacrosse in Connecticut. Unless you were one of the winning participants, it wasn’t a particularly memorable Championship Saturday at McMahon (unless you’re a fan of insane, empty-net goals, of which there were many). […]

Welcome to the Long-Stick Podcast: State Playoff Edition. Based on Wilton’s 4-3 upset over No. 1 Darien in the FCIAC semifinals alone, it was a pretty insane league championship week in boys lacrosse. It settled down, somewhat, with New Fairfield’s dominant SWC title victory and Fairfield Prep’s SCC championship, which were sandwiched around New Canaan’s […]
The Guilford Indians, fresh off winning their first outright SCC championship with an 11-10 overtime victory against Cheshire on Saturday, have entered the Girls Lacrosse Top 10 Coaches Poll for week eight.

There’s little time to dilly dally. There are league playoff games involving top 10 teams going on the day this poll is being written. So here’s the short of it: No. 2 Ridgefield faces No. 3 New Canaan and No. 1 Darien plays surging, No. 7 Wilton — which toppled No. 8 Staples in the […]
