The IL list is a joke. I believe Darien lost 18 starters from last year's team.

18 starters? No wonder they went undefeated.

Haven't seen them in a regular season game since 2022. Back then they had an excellent goalie (a 2025) who is committed to BC.

This year they have beaten Notre Dame Prep and John Carroll, both of Maryland's IAAM league. They also beat Penn Charter and Conestoga, two very good SE Pa. teams.

Not sure if EA's league uses a shot clock. The IAAM still does, right? Don't know if a shot clock was used in the EA v. McD game.

I was at the Good Counsel (Md.) vs. Penn Charter game last weekend. They had a shot clock but (I think) the person who was running it had difficulties so they turned it off for portions of the game.

I see that McD beat EA 9-8 last year at McD so today's (what's with these HS games on Sundays?) result doesn't seem unusual.

I saw BBP at the Spooky Nook indoor tournament. They looked good, but not world beaters. St. Anthony’s won the indoor this year, beating St. Pauls in the finals. Didn’t see St. Anthony’s, but did see St. Pauls, which looked to be quite strong.

I miss the days when I used to be able to get up onto the Island to watch games. Great lacrosse up there (said Captain Obvious).

I had hoped to be able to get up to the Gains for Brains this year, but a conflict has developed and I won’t be able to make it. Really disappointed as the slate looks fantastic. Hopefully you will be there and be able to give some reports, or at least the results.

I watched Sacred Heart of Greenwich CT beat Penn Charter yesterday. Didn’t have a roster, but Sacred Heart has a couple of really good players. Don’t know their names. Very strong team.

Just looked up their schedule. Upcoming games: Stone Ridge, Geo. Visitation, Lawrenceville, Agnes Irwin, Chatham, Darien, and Greenwich Acad. Good stuff.

Edit to add link to the game:

As always, the DAF production is tip top.

SP had two three goal leads in the first half, but the Blue Wave came back to tie the game in the 3rd Q and take the lead. Very impressive win for Darien in their first game of the season (this was SP's 12th game).

McDonogh is playing Darien next weekend in Central Jersey. I'm gonna try to make it to the game.
