Tonight’s games are being telecast on tape delay by Baltimore’s Kudda.com with Booker Corrigan (Radnor grad) and Brett Manney (Wings, Holy Ghost Prep grad, Delaware grad, NXT assistant coach). Will be posting links tonight/tomorrow morning.
Remember to go see CROOKED ARROWS, the first mainstream lacrosse movie – Saw it last week and loved it. It’s a must-see for any lax fan. Great action scenes! Lots of Native American history, too.
College coaches are everywhere. We can count 25 sitting on the sidelines; there are about 25 more in the stands, we are told.
HS – Sam Rohr scores on man-up (Henry Blynn), now 6-2, 2:55
Fords are picking apart the Malvern Prep defense, which is loaded with talent; again, great ball movement is the key as it has been all year.
