CHATHAM, N.J. - Only the best of the best make it this far, and that’s why Chatham’s Cougar Lacrosse team will be playing Saturday, June 4.

The past week has been nothing short of exhilarating for the boys team, which won a North, Group 2 sectional title, followed by a defense-heavy win in the Group 2 championship to win that trophy Wednesday.

Now, they compete to be called the best in New Jersey.
