Boys Lax Gearing Up for Big Game
Ridgewood hoping to dispatch of St. Augustine Prep, yet another top-10 opponent for the Maroons.
Playing one of the nation's toughest schedules means will certainly be battle-tested when playoff time comes around, though getting there may prove to be daunting.
The Maroon lax boys will play yet another top-ranked team on Thursday, hosting sixth-ranked St. Augustine Prep (2-2).
Ridgewood (2-2) opened the season with a thrilling five-overtime victory over prep powerhouse Delbarton at home. The boys, ranked number seven in the state, then lost a heartbreaker against Mountain Lakes and last week were muzzled by Hunterdon Central, the state's fifth-ranked team. They got things back into gear by demolishing Ramapo on Tuesday.
