On April 8, 2024, spectators at Manasquan High School in Manasquan, NJ, were treated to a riveting display of lacrosse prowess as Princeton clashed with Manasquan. Amidst the intensity of the game, Nick Bounassi of Manasquan showcased his defensive prowess with a remarkable save, illustrating the skill and determination characteristic of top-tier teams.

However, the spotlight of the week’s rankings was undeniably on the clash between Don Bosco Prep and Ridgewood. Don Bosco Prep, the undisputed No. 1 team in the state, delivered a resounding statement with a commanding second-half performance that propelled them to a decisive 12-4 victory over Ridgewood, previously undefeated and ranked No. 2.

The defeat was undoubtedly a bitter pill for Ridgewood to swallow, marking the end of an impressive 18-game winning streak. Nevertheless, amidst the disappointment lingered a determination to maintain their hard-earned position in the rankings. Despite the significant eight-goal deficit, Ridgewood remained steadfast at the No. 2 spot, a testament to their season-long consistency and formidable skill.

The clash between Don Bosco Prep and Ridgewood epitomized the unpredictable nature of lacrosse, where momentum can shift in an instant and underdog victories are always within reach. Don Bosco Prep’s triumph underscored their status as the team to beat, while Ridgewood’s resilience in the face of adversity highlighted their enduring strength and competitive spirit.

As the season progresses, the Boys Lacrosse Top 20 rankings continue to evolve, shaped by each team’s performance on the field. While Don Bosco Prep may have asserted its dominance at the summit, the scramble below remains as teams jostle for position, seeking to distinguish themselves as contenders in pursuit of championship glory.

In the dynamic world of boys lacrosse, every match is an opportunity for teams to showcase their talent, determination, and resilience. Whether it’s a stunning save, a decisive victory, or a hard-fought defeat, each moment contributes to the rich tapestry of the sport, fueling the excitement and anticipation for what lies ahead in the quest for lacrosse supremacy.
