Scott MacKenzie tended to tighten up on the field last year in his debut season for the Princeton University men’s lacrosse team.

“I let the game get to me and I started freaking out instead of having a good time on the field and realizing what I have to do,” said the 6’5, 210-pound MacKenzie, who scored just two assists in 12 appearances in 2007 as a freshman.

Bill Holup thought that last Wednesday’s state Prep A title contest might be the game where his Hun School girls’ basketball team could finally topple powerful Peddie.

Three days earlier, the teams met in the Mid-Atlantic Prep League (MAPL) final and were deadlocked 17-17 at the half. After intermission, Peddie caught fire from the outside, hitting six three-pointers in the second half as it pulled away to a 55-43 win.
