#5 Loyola-Blakefield vs. #12 Boys’ Latin - Extended Clips - 2nd Half - 2023 MIAA Lacrosse

04/25/23 - The Boys’ Latin Lakers hosted the Dons of Loyola-Blakefield for a battle between two national and MIAA powers.

Loyola came in at 9-2 and riding a seven-game win streak. They were undefeated in MIAA play. BL came in at 8-3, fresh off a 16-7 win over a solid Seven team.

With a lot of parity in the MIAA this year, this game shows how hard it is to predict any game in this talent-rich league. And with the shot clock, the scores can get lop-sided fast if a team is hot or cold on any given day.

On this day, it was the Lakers who were hot in front of their home crowd. A beautiful day at a beautiful venue with a lot of history, it was fun seeing the Lakers hit stride. However, I would have preferred a neck and neck battle that came down to the wire, but they can’t all be like the Maryland/Hopkins game of a few days prior.

Notes:
- Once again, I shot pics in the first half and video in the second.

- Most of the video was shot with a Sony FX3 and Sony FE 100-400mm F4.5-5.6 GM OSS lens. The stills and some smaller video clips were shot with a Sony A7iv with both the above lens and also the Sony FE 24-105mm f/4 G OSS lens.

Thanks for watching and reading!
