For a fifth-consecutive season, Rye High's varsity boys lacrosse team were back in a familiar setting: the final four of the state Class C championship.
Rye High’s boys lacrosse team ended the regular season with a 9-7 win-loss record and a third-place finish among the area’s Class C schools, behind only John Jay and Tappan Zee.
Rye dominated the Sailors from the opening whistle and led 8-0 at the end of the first quarter. The Garnets never looked back and won in convincing fashion, 19-5, advancing to the Section 1 Class C semifinals.
One-goal losses can take much of the fun out of lopsided victories, Rye High’s boys lacrosse team has learned, especially if the defeats start to outnumber the wins.
The Garnets’ girls lacrosse team is knocking at the door of the highest-ranked high school teams in the country as it approaches the end of its regular season and prepares for the postseason.
The potential hidden in their 1-1 start to the season has now burst into view for the Rye High School boys lacrosse team, which went on to win four of its next five games.
After a 4-0 start to the season, Rye High School’s girls lacrosse team has won three of its last five games, with the two losses coming by only one- and two-goal margins.
