Raise your hand if you would’ve paid to watch Iona Prep take on Mamaroneck this season.
There is very little space between the two best teams in Westchester this season and the only reason they didn’t switch places this week is what the Gaels did against St. Anthony’s, holding the nationally-ranked Friars to six goals in loss.
Rye might be the only team capable of supplanting Iona Prep and Mamaroneck, but the Garnets lost some momentum this week against Don Bosco.
