Dominant Phantoms are Long Island Champs

One of the most dominant teams in Long Island history can now call themselves the 2025 Long Island girls lacrosse champions. 

The Bayport-Blue Point girls lacrosse team finished the season with an unbelievable 18-1 overall record, going 13-1 in division play. They then went on to beat Sayville 9-7 to win the Suffolk County title and now they just won 10-6 over South Side to claim the title the best team on Long Island. 

It was all about the second half for the Phantoms as they entered halftime knotted up at five goals apiece, but they came out the locker room with a new determination and held South Side to just one second half goal and shut them down in the final quarter. 

Aubrie Eisfeld led the scoring with three goals while Olivia Brady had two herself. This was a full team effort though as seven different players had a goal in the championship game. Sara Richardt had one goal, and one assist, Emma Shanahan, Kailey Bruckner, Ava Meyn and Erika Kreuscher all had a goal in the game. 

Sophia Diaz was solid in net with four saves, and the defense was the calling card, especially in the second half. 

With those ten goals that makes twelve games this season where the Phantoms scored double digit goals and the 14th time this year the team won by three or more goals. 

Bayport-Blue Point will now play in the state Class C Southeast Regional Final at Lakeland High School in Westchester County on Saturday as they look to add to their trophy case.

Don't Expect Bregman to Pay Off

This week, one of the bigger names in the free agency cycle signed with the Chicago Cubs, and fantasy managers everywhere sighed. Usually, anyone heading to Wrigley Field is viewed as a positive, but for Alex Bregman, more information has emerged suggesting this move could spell trouble for his fantasy outlook. Bregman is a right-handed pull hitter who previously played in two of the more favorable home parks for that profile in Houston and Boston. Both parks feature short left-field dimensions that reward pulled fly balls and help inflate power numbers.

Futures Bettors Will Be Smiling

The College Football Championship is set, and it pits two of the more unlikely teams against each other. Indiana may have the largest living alumni base in the country, with more than 800,000 graduates, but few expected the Hoosiers to reach this stage. They feature zero five-star recruits and have instead relied on depth, discipline, and consistency while dominating all season long.
