exlaxer78, how did you do on these picks? Didn't see scores.

I got 4 out of 5, a 3.0, or a solid "B". :) Who knew Livonia was gonna bring it vs Victor? We'll have to keep an eye on them.

Eastridge game was postponed.

[Rams15]

BK-Bath game postponed today. Bath-Midlakes tomorrow, not looking good, unless Bath gets lucky and finds a turf field to play on.

[exlaxer78]

I see the 3/30 Midlakes game has been removed from the schedules list on sportsfive. It was just there and then poof! This is turning into one of those seasons where some weeks you'll have 4 games, and maybe 2 practices. I think that begins to take it's toll on teams as the season progresses.

The 3/30 Bath-Midlakes game has been cancelled. This was a non-league contest and with the Finger Lakes having little room for games out of conference, I will be quite surprised if this game will be made up. Unless, as you suggest, Midlakes agrees to go back-to-back days or something of that nature. Lacrosse is a very physical game and playing consecutive days is tough, in my opinion.

So now Bath will not play this week or next ( spring break... no practice either ) and return on 4/12 to play Livonia. Then Penn Yan, Chenango Valley, Spencerport, & Brockport. hahahaha OMG...Well... at least we have one win in our pocket. Ouch.....

[exlaxer78]

I would think playing only15 games could hurt either Midlakes' or Bath's seeding for the Section V tournament. Both teams would pick up some valuable points there, which could impact where they are slotted in the tournament.

[exlaxer78]

my picks in BOLD

Gananda vs Eastridge - Welcome Gananda, 1st Varsity lax game
Gates Chili vs Fairport
Hilton vs Penfield
Churchville-Chili vs Schroeder
Ath/Ody vs Thomas
Brockport vs Brighton
Newark vs Batavia

Not much room for any suprises. Agreed on all picks, should be a routine day for teams playing. Penfield Hilton might be interesting?

[exlaxer78]

I'd take Penfield all day. I was thinking the Schroeder/CC game might be? And I have no idea about Gananda. Early in the season, we'll have to see how things shake out.

[THE ROOK PRO]

I think Penfield will surprise people this year. The addition of Covely and a more experienced Russell has the makings of a good season.

[fptsoccer9]

Fairport steamrolls, how did the other games go?

[exlaxer78]

CC 10 Schroeder 9 - that was the game I thought might be close.

Otherwise, the winners were as predicted....so far

What was the Fairport final? It's not up yet on sportsfive.

edit: I see RochesterCC reporting 14-1 F'port on Twitter, w/ 2 min left. That's good enough to post a "W". haha

[RochesterCCPhotography]

Fairport once again is very good, on the other side GC looked awful...i.e. unable to complete a pass during a man-up situation. All that said, it should have been 25-1 if it wasn't for the spartans goalie...he is solid.

I'd also like to mention that Fairport, when involved in a mismatch, typically puts the brakes on at the end, and wins with class. They are a program to be admired and emulated.

Do you think Penfield can compete with Fairport?

[exlaxer78]

Do you think Penfield can compete with Fairport?

they might be a notch below depth wise, but they can compete. Plus it's a solid high school rivalry between two good programs. What more can you ask for?

[exlaxer78]

4/1/11

Bishop Timon (Sec 6) @ Aquinas final: Timon 11 Aquinas 4
Bishop Kearney vs Medina

Ithaca (Sec 4) vs Irondequoit - BEST game of the weekend

Yea Port didnt score in the 4th, could be due to that or Gates showed some life. Hats off to the GC keeper he played outstanding

[exlaxer78]

R-H 9 Canandaigua 6

[SectionVdad]

so much can change - but the early contenders for section v team of the year look like IQ, Fpt, Penfield and Thomas.. I think they all play each other (not sure if Penfield and IQ do) at some point so sit back and enjoy... what do u guys think?

No surprises on who the favorites are, but just like just every season, we are going to see some upsets such as R-H over CA. Good teams sometimes stumble out of the blocks but gain momentum over the course of the season, e.g. Irondequoit 2010. There are fewer surprises with the well coached teams as the season gets toward the mid-point and beyond.

The big question for me is will some of the middle of the pack teams improve to the point of being contenders? It's still early but, maybe keep an eye on Churchville and Victor who meet this week..

Big games of the week:

Penfield vs Pittsford on Tues, April 5th.
Thomas vs Irondequoit (4/5)
Victor vs C-C (4/7)
Pittsford vs Orchard Park (VI) on(4/7)

[Laxman]

4/1/11

Bishop Timon (Sec 6) @ Aquinas final: Timon 11 Aquinas 4

4/2/11

Fairport vs Brighton

Thomas vs Eastridge
Ithaca (Sec 4) vs Irondequoit - BEST game of the weekend
East Rochester vs Arc/Oly
Pal-Mac vs Penn Yan
Newark vs Batavia
Gananda vs Waterloo
Gates Chili vs Bloomfield-Honeoye

Bishop Kearney out played Medina the entire game despite the penalties and foul play they looked ready to play while only number 0 on Medina looked to be ambitious for the season

[exlaxer78]

Bishop Kearney vs Gananda
Schroeder vs Fairport
Canandaigua vs Eastridge
Thomas vs Irondequoit - my upset pick of the day
Hilton vs Ath/Ody
Churchville-Chili vs Arc/Oly
HFL vs Victor
Batavia vs East Rochester
Penn Yan vs McQuaid
Marcus Whitman vs Pal-Mac
Newark vs Waterloo

[exlaxer78]

8-3 lowered my batting average but, I probably threw one away on WT. I'm expecting more interesting turns of events as the season moves forward.

One game scheduled for today, 4/6/11:

Bloomfield-Honeoye vs Midlakes

And Mcquaid apparently as well. 12-2 in Penn Yan's favor? Whats that all about.

[exlaxer78]

And Mcquaid apparently as well. 12-2 in Penn Yan's favor? Whats that all about.

That's a very good question. It appears McQ forgot about the PY freshman as he got loose for 6G/2A. I would guess Bailey didn't cover him but, I'm not sure. If not, why wouldn't your best d-man be on their best attacker? McQ is offensive on offense, and only managed 2 man up goals. Their strength is close defense. And it appears they may not be as strong as the experts are saying.

[exlaxer78]

Canandaigua vs Spencerport
Eastridge vs Ath/Ody
Victor vs Churchville-Chili - 2nd best game of the day
HFL vs Arc/Oly Arcadia
Marcus Whitman vs Livonia
Pittsford vs Orchard Park - best game of the day
Bishop Kearney vs Batavia
Brockport vs East Rochester
Gates Chili vs Brighton

[exlaxer78]

I missed on the two big games yesterday. Pittsford beat OP at their place, 4-2. That's a solid win. C-C beat Victor at home. Another good wn for Churchville after beating Schroeder ealrier this season.

I'm mostly clueless about FL but I'll take a shot anyway:

Bloomfield-Honeoye vs Mynderse
Geneva vs Pal-Mac - my guess is PM has never beaten Geneva?
Newark vs Midlakes

[f22bomber]

BH over Mynderse
Newark over Midlakes
Geneva over Pal-Mac

Cant say Im a fan of that, Fairports game was made for turf.

which just happens to be the surface where the Sectional finals will be held (SJF) ;)

[exlaxer78]

Brighton 21 Batavia 0.

Obviously Batavia has taken a step backwards and that's too bad.They had some good athletes that graduated last year like Will Mulcahy and Chip Chapman, who are now helping lead Genesee CC to a top 5 NJCAA ranking. I think they're 7-1, maybe 8-1 right now with their only loss to last years National Champion, Onondaga CC.

Hopefully the Batavia program will rebound in the next few years.

[exlaxer78]

My picks in BOLD

Brockport vs Fairport
Gates Chili vs Pittsford
Spencerport vs Rush-Henrietta
Arc/Oly vs Penfield
Hilton vs Thomas
Penn Yan vs Bath

Marcus Whitman vs Newark
Irondequoit vs Churchville-Chili
Eastridge vs East Rochester
Bloomfield-Honeoye vs Waterloo
Pal-Mac vs Mynderse
Akron vs Batavia

[exlaxer78]

a little late but what the heck:

Schroeder vs Gates Chili - 1st win for the Warriors?
Aquinas vs Thomas - Webster sweeps today
Marcus Whitman vs Geneva - no challenge from MW
Penfield vs Pittsford - Panthers escape
Churchville-Chili vs Brighton - wouldn't be an upset, close finish
East Rochester vs Bishop Kearney - ER should come out with a an ugly "W" here

[mendon2013]

It's pittsford year. Two straight blowouts against two good teams

[exlaxer78]

It's pittsford year. Two straight blowouts against two good teams

I think Fairport will have a say in that. I'll take the loser of the regular season matchup to advance and win Sect V Class A. (this prediction is subject to change :))

[RochesterCCPhotography]

Churchville-Chili looked really good yesterday against Brighton. Brighton made it close at the end but CC was up by 7 at one point.

[mrmiamih]

Pittsford Girls went to Long Island last week for a scrimage and won games pretty easy

[mendon2013]

Once again it's between pittsford and fairport. Hopefully they will be closer games than they were last year (I think they will be) this is looking like this might be the match up for class A the next few years

haha, let's try and get through 2011 first.

[exlaxer78]

Pittsford Girls went to Long Island last week for a scrimage and won games pretty easy

who did they scrimmage?

[mrmiamih]

think it was either Farmingdale or Garden City was one of the scrimages as Pittsford coach wanted them to scrimage the best to get them ready for who they could face in the state's

Other was a Private School

[exlaxer78]

Other was a Private School

They may have driven right by "the best" (in NY Class A) on their way to LI. That is, if they drove through Sec 3.

Brighton Girls played "the best" in the nation, and it wasn't pretty.

[exlaxer78]

2 Sec IV vs Sec V matchups

Fairport vs Ithaca - as much as I'd to see Fairport win, Ithaca is just as strong, maybe stronger than last year. They should win by 2 goals, I'll say 'Lil Red 9-7

Binghamton vs Penfield - Patriots should dominate, margin of victory should be 6+ goals, Patriots 13-5

[mrmiamih]

Pittsford knows about W Genny

I give coaches at Brighton and Pittsford credit, they go out and play the best in and out of state to get there teams ready

Both are coming huge furtile recruiting grounds for D1 Lax

Brighton sends girls yearly to national powerhouse Northwestern

and Pittsford has the starting Goalie at Louisville and top 20 HS player and Nationa Honor Role player in Ali Curwin who is going to #10 James Madison next year

I think McDonogh (Md) would mow down anyone in Section V, including Pittsford. If you want to talk about D1 recruits, you need look no further than that program. Maryland, Northwestern, Louisville, Bucknell, and the list goes on. Of course, it's a private, haha. We won't go there...:D
Props to Brighton for playing them. They just never had a chance.

P.S. saw Ashley Herbst play yesterday at the Dome. Great game......for girls, hahahaha.

Nice job exlaxer78 on the Penfield game. Final score 12-5 Penfield.

[exlaxer78]

East Rochester vs Gananda - ER knows what it was like to be a 1st year program, and they return the favor
Bishop Kearney vs Livonia - Livonia by double digits
Rush-Henrietta vs Hilton - close game but, I'm going with the Royal Comets

[exlaxer78]

BK over Livionia
RH over Hilton

My guess is, if BK ever beat Livonia, that'd be the real upset of the day.

Thomas vs Pittsford @ Nazareth College

Geneva vs Bloomfield-Honeoye
Midlakes vs Marcus Whitman
Pal-Mac vs Newark

Churchville-Chili 16 Gates-Chili 4
HFL vs Brighton - no score yet

I think you've got to feel good just getting a game in.

make that one game is a final, all others postponed. :p

I'm hoping that the lost games will be rescheduled. We have lost 2 non league games so far. One, the Midlakes game from two weeks ago, but they have not been overly anxious to reschedule. This can greatly affect sectional seedings I would think !?

For sure, those games play an important role in the tournament seeding. They've got to get those games in. So how does 4 games a week sound? I'm getting tired just thinking about it, lol.

GO SABRES!

[RochesterCCPhotography]

It's ridiculous...first went to the Gates-Chili girls game at 4:30 but it got cancelled(rain and grass field). Drove to Naz for Pitts-Thomas on turf and it got cancelled due to the lightning....was so frustrated.

I'd like to know how they got the C-C vs G-C boys game in? Last time I knew, the G-C district has no turf, and the grass fields had to be just about unplayable. Then, with the thunderstorms rolling through the area, there is supposd to be a minimum (per Section V) 30 minute delay whenever you see lightning or hear thunder. Did the storms somehow miss that area? It would seem to me, that the game should have taken about 5 hours to complete. :)

I know the storm rolled through and was over in the gates area by 5:30, the game started at 6. I was already frustrated and was not going back to GC to find another cancelled game. They do play on grass, night games are played in the stadium and it does have decent drainage.

that makes sense, thanks. For some reason I had thought it was an earlier start.

Both C-C & G-C have to feel pretty good having completed 8 & 9 games to date. Others have only played 4-5 games, which will have them scrambling to complete all 16 games before the tournament.

Been some great games so far this season ! Its going to be a photo finish and some close games come playoff time.

You should have gone down the street to SJF to see the Fairport-Pittsford girls game called with two minutes to go in the first half, it would have been a triple play. :)

Thomas vs Pittsford @ Nazareth

Who wants to take a shot here?

[Rams15]

Midlakes AND Mynderse just cancelled their games with Bath. Permanently for this spring season. League games, the schedule crunch, and availability of officials takes precedence. ugh

I'm sorry to hear that. They're (Sec V) going to have to find a way to be equitable for seeding procedures. In my opinion those would have been 2 non-league wins for the Rams.

[exlaxer78]

Your Patriots had a nice win over Orchard Park tonight, 9-8. Maybe this team is in transition to being more than just a dark horse?

I think they get better every game but still need a big win local.

They will have 4 chances for that big win coming right up: Irondequoit, Fairport, Thomas, and Canandaigua.

They certainly accomplished that with a big win vs. Canandaigua tonight ! Congrats....

Rush-Henrietta vs Fairport
Batavia vs Canandaigua
Schroeder vs Thomas
Gates Chili vs Arc/Oly
Hilton vs Brockport
Penn Yan vs Livonia
Midlakes vs Bloomfield-Honeoye
Geneva vs Mynderse
Pal-Mac vs Marcus Whitman
Waterloo vs Newark
Churchville-Chili vs Spencerport
Penfield vs Irondequoit
East Rochester vs Eastridge
McQuaid vs Aquinas
Brighton vs Victor

exlaxer78, BIG test for Penfield today. Give me the score.

exlaxer78, BIG test for Penfield today. Give me the score.

The defense will be tested I think. Considering the weather conditions it should be fairly low scoring.....Irondequoit 12 Penfield 7

[exlaxer78]

Penfield 9 Irondequoit 8. Nice win for the Patriots.

For a Lacrosse fan, it would be good to have a clone tomorrow. Pittsford vs. Fairport and Penfield vs. Thomas should be exciting. I don’t think it will have much of an impact on the sectional tournament as it is likely that Pittsford and Fairport will be seeded 1&2 and will have tough games going through Thomas and Penfield to get to the Section V championship game.

For a prediction, I think that Fairport has a slight advantage on offense, while Pittsford is slightly better on defense. Fairport has had a tougher schedule so the records don’t really mean much. Pittsford is due for a loss with it’s undefeated season so far, but Pittsford is due to beat Fairport as Fairport won both games last year. Home Field advantage – Pittsford, on grass is going to win by 2.

Penfield has a better record and a tougher schedule so far. Predict that Thomas will keep it close, and have a come from behind upset victory – by one.

Good post.

I think the choice is obvious, I'd be going to Pittsford. IF, Pittsford wins this one, I like Fairport to win the Section V championship. I think the season series will be split with the second game being the class A championship. Losses can be a good thing in the regular season.

I like Penfield in a close one over WT, 13-11.

With the home field being moved, has to... help Fairport today. My changed prediction: fairport by 1.

Isn't SJF in Pittsford? Not that I think the "home field advatage" even plays a role in the outcome of the game. Sure, if there were 10,000 fans, but not Sec V HS lax.

It helps Fairport a little bit but they are still in Pittsford. Also, Pittsford does play at Nazareth (which is turf) for some games.

Great back and forth game for three quarters. Pittsford came out with a great offense to start the fourth and scored 3 quick goals to take the wind out of Fairport's sails. Crowd was great for a regular season game.

Thanks for the updates. I hope they meet again...in the Class A championship.

[exlaxer78]

So it appears this game was as advertised, a close one. Don't be fooled by the 9-4 score as the game was knotted 4-4 to begin the 4th, and while Pittsford did outscore Fairport 5-0 in the last quarter, one goal was an empty netter. Another goal came on a turnover while Fairport was attempting to clear the ball, something they do with regularity. Faceoffs > Pittsford, Shots > Fairport, Groundballs > Fairport. All stats relatively close. Fairport needs their big guns to step up.

I'm looking for Fairport to return the favor should they meet again.

[THE ROOK PRO]

Penfield quietly getting better and may be ready to make a run. Have they played Fairport yet?

To add to this, goalie Conor Quinn from Pittsford put on a show in the fourth quarter. Just some amazing saves...

you are what the scoreboard says you are, just like you are what your record says you are. With that being said Pittsford dominated TOP and they have more defensive studs then fairport has offensive studs. I dont see Fairport making the finals.

actually you hope Fairport won't make the finals because I (and probably you) see a different outcome the 2nd time around.

You can't dominate TOP and lose the shots and ground ball stats.

[HereWeGoKnights]

High quality shots vs low quality shots...

[exlaxer78]

High quality shots vs low quality shots...

It's always high quality when it goes in, and low quality when it misses the cage. The point is, you must have possession to shoot. So, were Quinn's saves "low quality"? Hmmm?

several players on fpt took shots from 15 yards out. Id love to be out shot and have those shots being taken. Faiports lucky it wasnt a worse score. And i dont wanna hear that quinn (the goalie) was lucky because hes had dominating performances in goal previously in the year.

I'm more inclined to believe the observations of those who have ties to neither program. In other words, an objective observer. Yours are tainted with homerism because you cannot seaparate yourself from your team. Using adjectives like "dominate" and "studs" make it hard to believe anything you say anyway. That's cool, keep up the cheerleading.

C'mon Rook, I like to think I have a good idea and an opinion. But that's about it.

I don't mean to offend Seahorse because he is a Pittsford fan and they have a fantastic team. So I apologize if I did offend him. If the Panthers go on to represent Sec V in the state tournament, that'd be great. I just don't think it is a done deal yet. Everyone is talking Pittsford & Fairport in class A but, no mention of Penfield? The early season dark horse? So there is still a long ways to go before the finals at SJF.

The Section V tournament is a great time, and a lot of things can happen especially with the lower seeds #3 & #4. So, no one can count on taking home the hardware yet. And the winners in all classes will have earned the right to move on to the western regional. I for one am looking forward to it and I wish all the teams well, as the regular season wraps up. Peace.

Sorry, I'll say you post the most when it comes to Lax. Not many other threads are that interesting so Lax is it. It's Lax or Wayne county baseball, so you guys keep posting and I'll keep reading. Football just around the corner.

[Mr.SeaHorse]

hahaha no no no, you did not offend me. I respect everyones opinion. Penfield? really? i could be wrong but pittsford beat them 12-2 and i dont believe fpt has yet to play them. Id love to see that matchup to see if penfield can hang with the "big boys" in class A.

[fptsoccer9]

The problem with Fairport is that once they are down you see panic sweep through D to A, and everyone takes it upon himself to get the team back in the game. Last years Fairport team knew how to handle pressure very, very well. Possession was a huge factor in the first matchup, with a change in that, I see Fairport scoring a heck of a lot more. As far as offensive "studs" and defensive "studs" go, I wouldnt call Pitt's D spectacular as you made them out to be, werent challenged enough to say that in my opinion. I saw Fairport alot more physical as well.

Penfield lost early in the season to Pittsford but playing much better now. I agree the game against Fairport will tell the true story.

No one mentions coaching, which is what the playoffs come down to. I give the edge to the Fairport staff, I think they make the adjustments and put a better game plan together for a possible rematch. But first things first. Penfield. If Fairport wants to get to the title game they'll have to get by a gritty Patriot team and secure the #2 seed. It's not do or die, it's just that I want to see Pittsford vs Fairport again....at SJF.

[2teamfan]

And Fairport coaching staff will need to be on its game for the next couple weeks as it has a tough schedule this week - Then sectionals. Maybe Fairport will use the size of its bench – as pretty sure win/lose any of these games, Fairport will still be playing Penfield on the 27th.

I think Pittsford’s game management is better, as Pittsford has won 5 games by two or less, where Fairport has only won one close game. Thought Fairport coach was a little too emotional against Pittsford as I saw him grab one of his players and berate him, and they should of taken a time out when Pittsford scored its sixth goal.

[exlaxer78]

he yelled at his player.....oh no! heaven forbid. Something tells me he got his point across, what do you think?

OK Exlaxer, you finally won. I am now a total convert to this sport. Wow it doesn't get more exciting than this. I think we only had one eligible sub on the sidelines for the entire game. I am very happy for the kids, but also for the program which suffered through some very difficult times in the past. So many of these kids have spent large amounts of time in the off season and it is now paying huge benefits. Zach Reed really was the pioneer who got all this started with his supreme dedication to the game of lacrosse and many followed suit. Ya can't teach heart and the boys demonstrated a great deal of that tonight. Tomorrow's a new day, however. Ha

It would be just like you to give credit to others but, don't minimize the role Nick has played in the teams' successes over the last 4 years. There obviously is a great sense of pride knowing the kids have earned it, and there's no better feeling than seeing the kids succeed.

In the game of golf, some say great players find the answers to their game "in the dirt". The same might be said of the Bath lax players, as well as other Sec V teams who have been working so hard. Ya have to love it when kids reach their potential. Congratulations to all. Keep it rolling!

Way down the road....the class A western regional matchup looms large...

Exciting Penfield/Fairport game. Close game all around, Did think Fairport had the edge in possession time – as they had more shots – but think Fairport had more mistakes with some unforced turnovers – with passing. Thought Penfield came in hot, made little errors. but, tough loss in the last tenth -second.

Assuming Pittsford is in the sectional finals, who would they rather see: Penfield or Fairport?

Penfield's loss to Canandaigua was a big step backwards. We need to forget about this one because if we play like this in the sectionals its all over. I wonder why the let down.

Now that the outbracket games are complete, we get to the real heart of the matter with the quarterfinal games (games at higher seeds home field):

Class A: Top seeds advance easily

#6 Webster Schroeder vs #3 Penfield

#5 Pal-Mac vs #4 Aquinas

[2teamfan]

Good picks laxer – my upset prediction is Hilton over Churchville Chili.

The biggest blow-outs predicting Penn Yan with the biggest point differential followed by Pittsford over Greece, or Fairport over GC. It all depends on how long the coach will keep his first string in.. For instance with Irondequoit : Spencerport’s defense can be pretty physical so I wouldn’t want to be the coach who let a player get injured in a lopsided game or, on the other hand, wouldn’t want to be the coach who didn’t get his team ready. I guess that’s why I’m sitting in the bleachers.

Hilton over C-C? Hmm, interesting.

Agree, good points on potential injury. Pittsford & Fairport could absolutely blow their opponents away but, that seems unlikely. Pittsford "D" could pitch a shutout though...we'll wait and see. Starters the 1st half tops, then empty the bench? Some of the youngsters won't see any time after the quarterfinals anyway. It's a good day to be in the bleachers...

It's a question I've been wondering about since the final scores of todays games were posted. One thing is for sure. It will be both Pittsford's and Irondequoit's biggest challenge of the season.

Both will be underdogs, and both will have to keep it close to have a chance. There will be no playing from behind. Both JD and Ithaca have superb defenses, and can light it up on offense.

They both have a chance but, right now I'd pick Ithaca and J-D. They are the front runners for state titles in class A & B.

Im gonna respectfully disagree and take, yes, my panthers in OT and Irondequoit in the semi finals and continue and play on in the championship. Good luck to the Whipple brothers.

it's a lot to ask but, I won't say they don't have a chance. The girls will be challenged as well when they take on Sec 3 powerhouse West Genesee.

I thought it was appropriate considering our lovely spring here in WNY.

Both Irondequoit and Pittsford had fine seasons. Congratulations to them.
