Friday Night Lights Kicks off an action packed Weekend of College and Pro Action Patriot League Playoffs Army vs. Lehigh I like Lehigh in this matchup between two very well coached teams. Lehigh is balanced on offense and has strong goaltending with junior Matt Poillion. My prediction is Lehigh by three. Loyola vs. Colgate I made the mistake of not picking Loyola in the regular season matchup. I’m not going…
Major League Lacrosse is on the verge of starting its 14th season, but the road to Championship Weekend starting this past weekend in Annapolis.

Chesapeake held its first pre season camp this weekend in Annapolis. Even though it was a little chilly, the team was having fun and spirited first workout.

There were some pieces missing as Brian Megill, Drew Westervelt,…
Position: Defense College: Johns Hopkins University Professional: Chesapeake Bayhawks Michael Evans worked his way to the highest levels of lacrosse and has brought a fierce determination to be one of the best in the game. Walking into Hopkins, he was a part of a class that had to replace long time starters on defense. Chris Watson, Tom Garvey, and Greg Raymond had anchored the defense for years and were…

Harris adds an element…

With a new year, comes new teams. Chesapeake has been busy with trades prior to the Supplemental Draft. The addition of young Joe Walters is a great pick up for the Bayhawks but they lose veteran Casey Powell who helped lead the matured Chesapeake team to back to back MLL titles.

Jovan Miller has returned to the MLL. After barely playing last season for the Charlotte Hounds the Chespeake Bayhawks chose to use a a seventh round pick on Miller in last Wednesday’s MLL SUpplemental Draft. Considering the squad the Bayhawks already have, Miller is worth the risk, even if he doesn’t choose to play again. In his last full season in the MLL, Miller recorded 21 points on 13 goals…
