Boys High School Weekend Recap: May 6

Stoga-BL Still The weekend in the boys high school landscape was highlighted by two teams keeping their records unscathed and the Texas State Championships.

Boys Latin (MD) has been incredible all season, and pushed their record to 17-0 with a 13-8 victory over Loyola-Blakefield (MD) on Friday. The Lakers are one win away from navigating through a very difficult regular season MIAA and out-of-conference schedule unbeaten. They play St. Pauls (MD) on Tuesday in their season finale.

Meanwhile on Long Island, the Ward Melville Patriots (NY) have established themselves as the team to beat, moving to 14-0 with wins over William Floyd (NY) on Thursday and Bayshore (NY) and Saturday. Two games remain for the Patriots in their quest for an undefeated regular season.

[Note: We had some fun on Friday and examined what a potential Boys Latin and Ward Melville game would look like.]
