We’ve reached the home stretch of the high school lacrosse season as JSZ brings you three sectional quarterfinal matchups in the boys public state tournament. Check back as the highlights are posted throughout the night!
Jefferson 9 Glen Rock 6 | Boys | North Group 1 Quarterfinal
Calen “Chubb” Reid’s historic senior season has helped the Falcons push the furthest they’ve been in the state playoffs in well over a decade. With a seven point game Monday, Reid scored his 401st career point – he’s now just the ninth player in New Jersey history to eclipse 400 points. Reid broke the state’s all-time assist record earlier this year and is closing in on the single season assist record as he now sits at 91 assists this spring. Matty Leppard had four goals for sixth-seeded Jefferson (15-7) in the upset win. Will Corry had four goals in the loss for third-seeded Glen Rock (9-8). Jefferson will go back on the road Thursday to face Ramsey in the sectional semifinal.
