Re: Connecticut 2024
It's fine to say it, it's weak. And they know it's weak. NC and Wilton opted up (appropriately) even though Wilton knew they would have a down year. Cheshire will get their state title but they are good enough to win the big boy title and they opted to not compete. That can't sit well.

Re: Connecticut 2024
Watched the Wilton v Yorktown game online today. This Wilton team is tough and getting much better. They are really young but they are figuring it out with these young kids. The defense continues to be aggressive and causes a lot of turnover and they are starting to look more like last years team wh...

Re: Connecticut 2024
Darien falls to St. A’s 9-5. It was a much closer game than the final score indicates. Tied in the 4th quarter before a St. A’s 3 goal run. Darien played a very good game and looked like a tier 1 team. Some great FCIAC games coming up for them and should be a fun race to the championship.

Re: Connecticut 2024
Darien v Brunswick was not a close game. Darien poles are really solid but D-mids got worked all night. They would have beaten prep with pokorny but such is life. NC looks like the top team to me. Taking down Cheshire and two of the top Westchester teams to start the year is impressive. Ridgefield ...

Blue wave looking good up 12-2 on Manhasset at half. Moving the ball really well and playing aggressive on offense.

Re: Top 25 for 2024
While these polls are a total crapshoot I do admit I love seeing 5 FCIAC schools in the public school top 25 (Staples, Darien, New Canaan, WIlton, Ridgefield). How the top 25 shakes out, honestly, I don't care. I love that for the last 20 years I have been able to watch great lacrosse in a public sc...

Re: Connecticut 2024
Any thoughts/previews on what CT lax will look like in 2024? Never too early! My top 10 in the state (with little thought or analysis behind it): 1 - Darien 2 - New Canaan 3 - Cheshire 4 - Staples 5 - Ridgefield 6 - Prep 7 - Greenwich 8 - Wilton 9 - NDWH 10 - Weston Not much to argue as it the seas...

Re: Connecticut 2023
Incredible game from Wilton. They beat NC in every meaningful way. Faceoffs were probably even but Wilton had more shots, more ground balls, more caused turnovers and definitely owned time of possession. Dominant performance. So, my only question is why would seeding for state tourney come out befor...

Re: Connecticut 2023
Agreed. Good set of games yesterday. NC is the favorite IMO, they handled Wilton fairly easily in their game a few weeks ago. The two-headed face-off monster got the best of Liston that day and they vastly outplayed Wilton at the goalie position. IMO, the Wilton goalie has been up and down all year,...

Re: Connecticut 2023
Finally watched the Wilton v Chaminade game last night. WOW. Wilton outplayed them most of the game. After a 50/50 first half, Liston dominated the X in the 2nd half and the Wilton defense was as aggressive as they have been all year. The offense seems to have found it's groove as well with multiple...

Re: Connecticut 2023
Just back from the Darien v Wilton game. Darien scored 3 in about 2 minutes to pull off the 9-8 win. Wilton had two careless turnovers trying to run out the clock and Darien did what Darien does, they struck quickly. One wilton player ran out of bounds on the sideline with the ball (no idea how that...

Re: Connecticut 2023
Darien drops another to a top team in the a nation on the island for a second consecutive weekend - 17-6 to St Anthonys Friars. Wave is now 4-4 at the halfway mark of the season. Was at the game and that SA team is fantastic. They had some grown men out there. Still think Darien will be there at th...

Re: Connecticut 2023
Wilton beats Staples 6-4. As I've said pretty much anyone from the top 6 can beat anyone this year. This is the most balanced year I can remember in at least a decade, maybe two. Tales of doom and gloom have been exaggerated and it really depends on which version of high school kids will show up on...

Re: Connecticut 2023
Would definitely throw Cheshire in their above Wilton and probably Ridgefield as well. Ridgefield sort of let the Stepinac game get away, as they allowed 7 goals in the 4th quarter; they could become more of a factor as the season goes on but I don't think they have enough depth to go all the way. ...

Re: Connecticut 2023
Well, let the crazy continue! Prep takes down Chaminade, who just waxed Darien. Darien loses to Staples after being up 8-1 and Staples missing multiple starters. NC with a 10-4 win over Ridgefield. Wilton beats Greenwich (much needed). An already fun year is only going to get more interesting. To th...

Re: Connecticut 2023
Some observations now that we are a few games in. 1) Darien: still the class of the FCIAC and probably the best team in the state. I think Prep will be there in the end with them and I can see these two trading the 1 & 2 spots in the state polls all year long. They are capable of great play (see...

Re: Connecticut 2023
Bad call or not, Darien proved they are for real. The fact that a public HS beat the #1 team in the country, with a roster loaded with holdbacks recruited to play lacrosse, is a testament to Coach B. They shouldn't be in the game, yet there they are, once again. Brunswick should dominate ANY public ...

Re: Connecticut 2023
you might be right but I have seen this movie before when everyone counts Darien out and 6 studs show up that just happened to play behind better kids. It may be a 4-5 team fight in the FCIAC and for my money, that would be great. NC has a lot back, Wilton lost the best goalie in the state and some ...
