We’re making a change atop the rankings.
Mamaroneck is crushing the local competition and looking to storm the rest of the state. There is no competition for the Tigers in Class A this season. None. Put it on the bulletin board. Iona Prep suffered a disappointing loss by a wide margin at Chaminade before coming back and getting quality wins against Salesianum (Delaware) and Bronxville. Taking down Seton Hall Prep in the regular-season finale is the next meaningful showdown.
Boys Lacrosse Power Rankings
(Includes games played through May 3)
1. Mamaroneck (9-3): Do the math. The Tigers have outscored five Section 1 opponents 90-14. Rye is next. Last week: 2
2. Iona Prep (11-3): Billy Haggerty got to 200 career goals in a week that included a loss to Chaminade then wins over Salesianum (Delaware) and Bronxville. Last week: 1
3. Rye (8-4): A healthy Wilson Redd cures a lot of what held the Garnets back in a loss to Port Washington. Last week: 3
4. Yorktown (9-2): Do you suppose the Huskers remember the score from last year’s run in with Rye? Last week: 4
5. Greeley (6-6): Don’t forget, the Quakers started the season 1-4 so the momentum is real. Last week: 7
6. Bronxville (8-2): The Broncos on Wednesday have an opportunity to send Pleasantville a message ahead of sectionals. Last week: 6
7. Somers (6-5):. Winning close games is the mark of a championship team. So far, the Tuskers are 1-2 in one-possession games. Last week: 5
8. John Jay-Cross River (6-5): In losses to ranked opponents, the Wolves have scored just 25 goals. Last week: 8
9. Pelham (6-4): This year’s schedule has challenged the underclassmen without killing their confidence. Last week: 9
10. Pleasantville (7-5): On a good day, the offense can keep up with Bronxville. What happens on the other end is more likely to impact Wednesday’s game against the Broncos. Last week: 10
On the bubble: Hackley (9-2); Clarkstown South (7-4); Mahopac (6-4); Stepinac (5-10); Tappan Zee (6-5); White Plains (11-1).
