A full week of action awaits the boys’ teams, with about a month remaining before the postseason arrives. Lots of April showers early in the month has filled the calendar from here on out.
Two of the best baseball teams in the state meet at Saint Mark’s on Tuesday, and two others who entered the week unbeaten battle the next afternoon. There is also some high-caliber lacrosse scheduled for this week.
Don’t forget to confirm dates and times before making the trip. Schedules are always subject to change.
