One of the two most competitive girls’ lacrosse competitions comes to a finish this week with the semifinal and final rounds of the Interscholastic Athletic Association of Maryland taking place. In addition, we’re seeing league tournaments in Virginia and state tournaments in California and Colorado starting up. We’re also interested to see how the Fairfield County Interscholastic Athletic Council shakes out, especially with last week’s win by Wilton over Darien. There is more to come, I’m sure.
