Garden City topped Loyola-Blakefield 6-5, in the high school game, which was played before the college guys took the field for the Face Off Classic in Baltimore. In the last national poll, GC sat at #4, while Loyola was at #22. This New York – Maryland game was clearly competitive, and Craig Chase delivers with the excellent photo gallery.
