I didn’t need a text message from someone in the Rye community to tell me what I’ve already known for about two weeks now — I really need to see Rye up close. The Garnets took down Eastchester last night in five sets, giving them an undefeated record in a league that includes the Eagles, Byram Hills, Harrison, and Pelham. Ardsley is the last team on the Garnets’ hit list. That match will be next Thursday, Oct. 7.
