This spring, the LR News team traveled to 15 games across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic Regions, making stops from Conestoga (PA) up to Salisbury (CT) and many in between. Chapter 8 took us to Chaminade High School (NY) on Thursday, April 25 for a huge interstate matchup between the Flyers and visiting California power St. Ignatius (CA).

Boy’s High School Weekend Recap: April 22

The weekend in the boy’s high school landscape was highlighted by a couple of big games between some of the best teams in the country. On Long Island, there was a huge non-league contest pitting one of the best in Nassau County against one of the best in Suffolk as Garden City (NY) traveled to Ward Melville (NY). In a tight defensive battle, the 631 area code came out on top, as the Patriots defeated the visiting Trojans, 7-3.
