Regardless of what transpires the remainder of this high school girls lacrosse season, Mattituck/Southold will be the defending New York State Class D champion in 2022. That’s not a bold prediction, either. It’s a virtual guarantee, just another one of the oddities of the pandemic-affected sports world.
All of the state’s spring sports championships have been canceled this year. That means the Tuckers could go winless this season and still be the two-time defending state champions in 2022.
Coronavirus has done some funny things with the sports calendar and timelines. When the Tuckers walked onto their field in Cutchogue Tuesday, it was for their first game in 696 days.
