In my pre-season prognostications, I had Mamaroneck ranked first and the Class A favorite. Nothing has changed my mind on this. In fact, after Mamaroneck’s 3-0 win (two goals by Jocelyn Baumgarten) at John Jay-East Fishkill, on the grass, you can write it down that the Tigers will be the Section 1 Class A champions. Yes, I know, the Tigers still have to play Arlington (Tuesday, Sept. 23, home), but guess what, nobody will shut this team down and the Tigers defense, led by Ellen Williams, is too strong to be scored on once, let alone multiple times. The Tigers have not surrendered a goal in seven games.
