but GC vs Manhassett is always good too...

I have no idea about the best rivalry in the nation, but in NC it is deffinately East Chapel Hill High vs Chapel Hill High. Past two state champions, always field great teams, always go at it.

Wow nailed it right on the head ....best rivalry Garden City vs. Manhasset ( classic battle too the finish ) but Chaminade Vs. St. Anthony's most heated rivalry, I've seen all three levels of the rivalry ( freshman, JV , and Varsity ) the last 2 years and those kids hit each other to knock one anothers head off or to put the other guy out for good it's like watching a football game. Usually low scoring defensive or goalie battle. Thee reason for the Hatred from what i understand is all the kids from nassau county on LI go to Chami and all the suffoulk county kids go to St. Anthony's. ( NASSAU COUNTY AND SUFFOULK COUNTY DONT MIX WELL ) Chaminade is more a team of speed and finesse and St. Anthony's is a team of talent and finesse as well but they are definately a group of hit you and the mouth type players who will do anything just to scrap a GB . It's fun to watch these to rivals clash and fight till the end. chami usually wins the reg. season series on the varsity level but St. Anthony's wins the Catholic Championship

On behalf of everyone from Darien i would like you to stop posting. First off, that was last season which has no bearing on this season, and second New Canaan beat us in the semi finals. I agree that the Darien/New Canaan rivalry is the fiercest in the country, but stop making unintelligent comments

If you ever get a chance, try to show up for the annual MIAA champs game in MD of (Mostly Guranteed) Landon vs. GPrep. Usually around 3,000 people show up, and this is a freaking high school game.

On the lighter side, Landon beat GPrep in the regular season.

By the way, I hate prep.

I hate to break it to you, but landon nor georgetown prep are in the MIAA. So im not really sure which MIAA championship game youve been watching, but its the wrong one. It looks like it will come down to Loyola, St. Pauls, Boys Latin and Mcdonogh in the MIAA final four this year.

Landon and Prep, The thing about 3,000 people showing up is a bit right. Just a little exageration. Its a good game, it gets pretty rough though sometimes. Glad I dont have to ref it.

really? .... or it could be the fact tht chaminade is all boys and St. A's is co-ed , honestly i think chaminade is the one tht is pist.
And the news on the street is that well most of the kids in suffolk county really dont like the idea of traveling all the way to mineola and likewise the nassau kids hate traveling to Huntington
and anyone with their hand down someones pants can get into chaminade

I am from new canaan and you make us look like an idiot. We have an astro-turf field!! Wow! Every other team in FCIAC's has GURF which is far superior to our astro-turf. The school board is even raising money to build a GURF field and re-do our stadium. And lastly, we lost to Darien! and you spell 'kik' kick, and 'r' are. You dont play for new canaan high school. You are probably a youth lacrosse player!

if one other person in this forum knew what you were talking about, I'd be surprised. you can't be serious when you compare Mclean to Langley. Rivalry? No. They're in the same conference, but there is no history here. You must play for Mclean, because Langley would never even consider you as rivals....

... Georgetown Prep vs. Landon.... (quoting many listers)

This being Wednesday, it's lacrosse day in the Washington Post. I can't find the graphic online, but the dead tree edition has the top ten DC area boys' and girls' HS teams ranked. Possibly for the first time ever, GP is ranked #1, and Landon is ranked #2. This is about as expected a thing to read in the paper as "Lee Defeats Grant; Lincoln Surrenders." Today's feature article is about Woodson and Oakton; I will crosspost the link in the NOVAlax thread. Later, I will edit this post to show all the rankings.

I did not go to either GP or Landon, so don't blame me.

W.T. Woodson-Oakton Showdown, Part II (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/05/31/AR2005053101692.html)

This week's boys' lacrosse top 10 is not the final ranking of the season, but, considering all but three of the 10 teams have completed their schedules, there won't be much movement after this week.

So who's No. 1? Four teams seem to have legitimate claims.

Centennial, after losing in overtime to Broadneck in its opener, won 17 straight to capture its second consecutive Maryland 3A/2A championship. DeMatha won 14 of its last 15 and captured its seventh consecutive Washington Catholic Athletic Conference title. Landon won the regular season Interstate Athletic Conference crown, beat DeMatha, split with Georgetown Prep and went 20-2 against its most difficult schedule ever, including 3-1 against teams from the Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association.

But after dealing with a slew of injuries, Georgetown Prep has ascended to the top spot by finishing as the area's hottest team, winning seven straight and capturing the IAC tournament title with an overtime victory over Landon.

Although Lovett and Westminster have been going at it for a long time in all sports, I'd have to say the the biggest rivalry in Georgia now is Lovett and Lassiter. Gee it seems like everyone is after Lovett, I wonder why. Maybe its because they have dominated lacrosse in Georgia since day one.

Agreeing with Orange, it has to be Delbarton-Lakes in NJ. These teams are always the best private (Delbarton) and the best public (Lakes) in the state. They are nearly guarenteed to play each other atleast three times in the year, regular season, Morris County Tourny, and the Tourny of Champions. At the MCT's alone, every school from Morris county is there. I personal route toward Mt. Lakes, gotta go public over private.

Oh yeah, Lakes in the past couple years is (not real but close to it) 72-5 all losses vs delbarton and delbarton is 8something and 4, those 4 vs lakes

Phillips Academy (Andover, MA) and Phillips Exeter Academy (NH) have played each other 72 times since 1935. Exeter holds a slight edge in this important rivaly, with 36 wins against 35 losses. One contest ended in a tie.

I'd be interested to know if there is a longer rivalry with the same level of intense competition year in and year out.

St. Paul's (MD) and Boy's Latin have been going at it since 1933, and SPS and Gilman since 1934, but I don't know how competitive the rivalry has been through the years.

..... in California, its Oak Park vs. Westlake!

Well, when I played lax at Cate as an exchange student in 1978, the Cate/Thacher lax rivalry was already 15 years old, and the school rivalry was 75 years old.

Neither the communitys of Oak Park nor Westlake were even twinkles in the developers eyes at that time. Cow Pastrure with the occasional truck stop was all there was there.

Andover and Exeter have been banging heads since 1781 when John Phillips, the uncle of Andover founder (1778), Samuel Phillips, started Exeter. The A/E football rivalry is the oldest in the country. In fact, American football as we know it today owes its unique existence thanks in part to Andover's early involvement in its evolution.

Any Andover vs Exeter score?

EDIT: Andover 6, Exeter 5

How about Andover alumni vs Exeter alumni?

EDIT: Exeter alums by forfeit. Seems that the Andover alums were out ruling the world.

the reason is that all the smart kids go to Chaminade and the kids that couldn't get in have to go to St. A's.....thats why they are so p'od.
not really, i got into both St A's and Chaminade, but chose St. A's over Chaminade for many reasons (girls didnt hurt either)

WOW New Canaan thinks they're so cool, but they have absolutely nothing on Wilton and Darien. When it comes to CT it's all Wilton and Darien. Oh and Wilton has TWO turf fields, so suck it, and Darien has a feild of their own. New Canaan wishes they could compete at the level displayed by Wilton and Darien. I know that the Wilton Varsity sucks this year however, when my class and the current freshman class are seniors and juniors, we will whoop all. I hate Darien, but I respect them (This Year we beat them 7-4) however i have absolutely no respect for New Canaan. I play NC this tuessday.... Beware, the Warriors are gonna annhilate the Rams, or whatever they call themselves.

Wow Nick. You really make me ashamed to be from Wilton. Why show so little disrespect for other towns, when you can't even back it up with wins? And Nick, I've also learned that nobody cares about youth lacrosse, so stop posting the scores of 8th grade games on threads. Don't ruin the program's reputation by complaining about the varsity team and making cocky and hypocritical comments; you're just as bad as the NC kids and Darien. Don't go saying how you have no respect for programs who continually beat us year after year, ok? Nick, you don't talk. By the way, Maddie's all mine.

Yeah, mostly just Mountain Lakes-Delbarton. Honestly, I've never heard of Westfield, or Madison boro, unless that is the same as madison. Anyway, those games are not worth watching compared to ML-Delb.
