Pregame

Welcome to BC High, where the Eagles host Marshfield in a boys' lacrosse nonleague battle this afternoon on James Cotter Field at Viola Stadium.

Marshfield is off to a blazing 3-0 start with wins over North Quincy, Dennis-Yarmouth, and Whitman-Hanson (three teams with a combined record of 0-7 thus far) by a combined score of 52-13. The Rams sit at No. 1 on the Laxpower.com early season rankings.

Today should produce a much better challenge for Marshfield. BC High needed overtime to top Acton-Boxboro, 5-4, in its only game of the year thus far, but that final score should tell you all you need to know about the type of defense and goaltending the Eagles thrive behind.

A quick weather update, it's actually not too bad out right now. Wet for sure from this morning's rains, but there's no precipitation falling now and the Forsberg Cruiser sets the temps at a manageable 45 degrees.

Back with more throughout the afternoon.

We'll be live from BC High this afternoon, where the Eagles host Marshfield in a boys' lacrosse showdown.

Our plan had been to catch the Scituate-Cohasset rivalry game this morning, but that contest has been postponed until Sunday due to the weather.

We'll have live updates from James Cotter Field (the game was originally scheduled to be played in Marshfield, but moved due to the turf due to the rain) and we'll capture video highlights for the site.

Back with more this afternoon.
