Today in Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y., weather permitting, the first of 10 girls’ lacrosse games — more than three-quarters of them interstate matchups — will take place on two sites at the high school.
It’s the seventh iteration of the Gains for Brains Lacrosse Showcase, which raises money for the Making Headway Foundation which treats children with brain and spinal cord injuries.
I know many of you can’t be there for the entire game, and there are overlaps in the games which gives spectators a chance to sample games at the lower and upper fields.
But if I could pick out four games you really want to watch, it’s the noon game between Massapequa (N.Y.) and Greenwich Sacred Heart (Conn.), the 1 p.m. game between Garden City (N.Y.) and New Canaan (Conn.)., the 2 p.m. game between West Babylon (N.Y.) and Greenwich (Conn.) Academy, and the 3 p.m. game between South Huntington St. Anthony’s (N.Y.) and Darien (Conn.). Two honorable mentions are the 10 a.m. contest between Mt. Sinai (N.Y.) and Wilton (Conn.) and the 6 p.m. game between Bayport-Blue Point (N.Y.) and Summit (N.J.).
As you can tell, these are delicious matchups which showcase the very best the girls’ game has to offer, and it deserves your attendance and support.
