Throughout my life, one thing has remained constant: my love for the NFL draft. Ever since I was 10 years old, I have spent the weeks and months leading up to the Draft learning about the prospects and which players were good fits for which teams. I would count down the days until the draft and sit glued to the couch when the day finally came.
As the school year winds down, so does the regular season for the Jays. In last week’s matchups, the Jays defeated the Rutgers University Scarlet Knights 17-9 to clinch a spot in the Big Ten Tournament but fell to crosstown-rivals, the Towson University Tigers, 18-5.
The matchup between Hopkins and the University of Maryland Terrapins, known as “The Rivalry,” is the biggest rivalry in all of college lacrosse. Facing off for the first time in 1895, the 115-game series is skewed in favor of the Jays, who hold a 71-43-1 record after this weekend’s loss.
If you came from a small town like I did, then you probably arrived at college with similar memories of homecoming: the crisp October air on your face, endless amounts of school spirit, the anticipation and excitement of your high-school football team playing their rival from the next town over on home field as the entire community gathered around to watch.
