This Week with the Raiders

Here is a round-up of seven Scarsdale High School’s teams records as of May 2, 2023.

Baseball – In the second half of last week, the Raiders played two crucial games against their biggest rival, Mamaroneck, on Wednesday, 4/26, and Friday, 4/28. They dropped both games to a strong Mamaroneck team with the same score in both games: 7-0, bringing Scarsdale’s record to 4 wins and 9 losses. In league play, Scarsdale has won twice and lost twice. Next up is a game against nearby New Rochelle on Thursday, 5/4 and against middling Lincoln on Friday, 5/5. When Scarsdale played Lincoln in early April, they demonstrated their potential, winning by an amazing 18-1. They will hope to get back on track and for a repeat performance on Friday.

Girls’ Flag Football – On Wednesday, 4/26, the team tied a strong Brewster team with only one loss, 6-6. The very next day, the strong team Clarkstown proved to be no match for Scarsdale; the Raiders overpowered them, 30-6. The 2022 Section 1 Finalists currently sit at 6 wins, 1 loss, and 2 draws. Next up is a matchup against the struggling Trailblazers on Wed, 5/3 and a game against Scarsdale’s own “B” Flag Football team on Friday, 5/5.

Boys’ Golf – On Thursday, 4/27, Scarsdale dropped their first match of the season to Bronxville at Siwanoy Golf Club. It was a windy day with difficult greens and many Raiders struggled, losing 203-209. Sophomore Leo Chu shot the best score for Scarsdale with a 3-over 38. However, on Tuesday, 5/2, the Raiders got an opportunity for revenge as they played Bronxville again, this time at their home course of Fenway Golf Club. They prevailed on yet another windy day, overwhelming Bronxville 196-207. Chu shone again with a score of 1-over 36. The Raiders currently sit at 9 wins and 1 loss. Their scoring differential is 2nd in the section behind Rye with 6 matches left in the regular season. Next up is a match against Clarkstown South at Westchester Country Club on Wednesday, 5/3.

Boys’ Lacrosse – On Thursday, 4/27, the boys engaged in a thriller against Stepinac, jumping out to an early lead and then holding on against a Stepinac charge. The final score was 12 Scarsdale, 11 Stepinac. Senior goalie Andrew Lehrmanz had 22 saves. On Tuesday, 5/2, the Raiders dominated New Rochelle – the final score was 16-1. Junior Rhett Needleman had 2 goals and 1 assist. Their record is currently 8 wins against 5 losses. In Section 1, however, they sit at 7 wins against 2 losses. On Friday, 5/5, the Raiders face Ramapo from New Jersey.

Girls’ Lacrosse – Last Thursday, 4/27, Scarsdale took a close loss against rival Mamaroneck with a score of 10-8. On Monday, 5/1, however, the team bounced back, winning a close one against Harrison, 10-9. This brought the team’s record to 4 wins against 8 losses. They are back at it on Wednesday, 5/3, against a Rye Team that currently has 8 wins against 4 losses. It will likely prove to be a tough matchup for the Raiders.

Softball – On Wednesday, 4/26, the Raiders suffered a big loss against a talented Ursuline team, losing 21-0. On Thursday, 4/27, Scarsdale lost a close one to Croton-Harmon, 10-8. And on Monday, 5/1, the team fell to Panas, 8-7. These 3 losses are part of a 4-game slide for the Raiders, bringing their record to 5 wins and 8 losses. They look to get back on track on Wednesday, 5/3, against rival team Mamaroneck.

Boys’ Tennis – Last week, the boys overwhelmed Arlington on Wednesday, 4/26, with a score of 6-1 (one match was retired). On Thursday, 4/27, the Raiders lost, 5-3, at home against Horace Mann. It was senior night. However, since the game was a non-league match, the Raider’s standing for sectionals remains in good form. They are back at it on Wednesday, 5/3, at Horace Greeley.
