Indeed an awesome game last night, kudos to both teams for playing such an instant classic. Great to see Staples get the program's first ever FCIAC championship, joining the ranks of the other tier 1 schools. Also was good to see Coach Brameier back on the sidelines for Darien despite more health pr...

After another big loss this weekend, I am wondering what has happened to Greenwich. Back in the late 2000's/early2010's they were a perennial contender, winning 2 FCIAC and 1 state championship. Since then things have just seemed to go downhill. I know there has been coaching turnover (although I ho...

It's been a great regular season but now it's time for the conference playoffs. New Canaan is definitely the favorite as of now but it is anyone's title to take in the FCIAC. Even Greenwich, who most wouldn't even consider a contender, was up 8-6 on Darien in the 4th quarter last night. FCIAC playof...

As for Weston, they are just in a severe down year having graduated a really strong and pivotal 2023 class and losing their coach. I think they will be fine but it’s hard to maintain a championship-caliber team 4 years in a row at a school like Weston, especially when you lose a ton of key contribut...

Solid FCIAC Thursday as we get ready for a huge weekend of games. Greenwich killed NDWH 21-11 and Wilton beat Glastonbury 11-4.

Interested to hear anyone's thoughts on any of the big matchups (Staples vs. Darien, Ridgefield vs. NC, Greenwich vs. Wilton).

Great day of lacrosse yesterday! The weather definitely played a factor in all of the games. Ridgefield beating Manhasset by that much is very impressive. I watched a good portion of the game and Kyle Colsey certainly looks the part of a top 5 player in the country. He was involved in most of their ...

New Canaan handled Mamaroneck without Crowell (returning all American Michigan commit attack man), Finnigan (returning 1st team FCIAC middie), or Tamasco (Richmond commit pole). Not sure if it was injuries or still out due to hockey stuff or what. Either way, pretty impressive and they'll only get b...

I’d say a large should definitely work and be big enough. Not sure who makes/sells XL chest pads and I couldn’t find any after doing a quick search. If you live close to one, I’d recommend going to a lacrosse or sporting goods store (lacrosse unlimited, dicks, etc.) where you can try gear on and get...

Anyone hear about how the jamborees/scrimmages went today/earlier this week?

Hearing rumblings that boys lax might be moving to a 4 class system this Spring (LL, L, M, S)

Anyone hearing the same? Or different?

And if it’s true what are the implications?

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
