Boys High School Weekend Recap: April 8

It was another solid weekend in the boys high school landscape, which featured a few teams recording statement wins.

No. 1 Boys Latin (MD) traveled to three-time defending PIAA State Champion Conestoga (PA) and took down the Pioneers by an eye-opening final score of 18-3. After spending the first three minutes of the contest on defense, the Lakers went on an offensive tear, scoring seven goals to end the first and eight in the second for a commanding 15-0 halftime lead.

In our Stat of the Week last Tuesday, we noted Delbarton (NJ) was just 2-6 against St. Antonys (NY) since 2005, with the Green Wave giving up at least eight goals in each of the six losses, but fewer than eight in both wins (2006 and 2007). Recent history suggested holding the Friars under eight would bode well and it did indeed. Delbarton took down St. Anthonys, 7-3 on the road. Impressive early win for the Green Wave.

It was also a big week for Gonzaga (D.C.), our Team to Watch last week, who recorded two huge wins. First, they took down McDonough (MD), 7-5 and then bested Georgetown Prep (D.C.), 15-6. The Purple Eagles are now 9-2 on the season.
