Garden City boys lacrosse looks to make it a sweep for the Trojans tomorrow v East Islip.

Garden City defeats Smithtown West, 9-6, to win the girls lacrosse Long Island Class B championship

New HS Boys Lacrosse Rankings, per @USALacrosseMag. 4. St. Anthony’s (was #4) 6. Chaminade (was #6) 17. Half Hollow Hills (was #17, surprised the win over Northport didn’t put it a spot higher) But joining the three… 24. Garden City (was considered, not ranked)

Let’s say Kyle Pitts gets traded to the Patriots for a third-round pick, with New England getting a Day 3 pick back from Atlanta. Who has the best 2025 season for fantasy football? All similar ADP right now.
