I guess the selection process is a bit flawed. Since Long Island is the greatest lacrosse community in the nation you would think that Long island would always win this event. Goes to show you when selections are made by coaches who have only the self promotion of their club teams and also catholic school in mind things dont go so well. The results have spoken for themselves over the past few years Long Island. Lets change the people making the selections, change those who feel its more important to pick players based upon what club team they play for or what catholic school. If the team was picked based solely on the tryout by an unbiased evaluation committee a lot of players would not be on the team. Some players selected only showed up to one day. It also should be moved to after the All County dinner so there will be no excuse why a player was not there. So people know there is also the phone call that goes out before the actual tryout letting a select few know they are on the team. Its is 100% true and if you deny it you must be one of those who received that call. Things need to change with this event. Its a money grab if its not done with 100% unbiased people making the selection. I know many do it knowing their kid wont be selected but they want to see how their kid does against the best competition.


quite humorous. the only time i can remember that there really was a true best of LI lacrosse selection was for the 2018 Freshman Brine Nationals, no BS, just solid tryouts of the best (at that point in time) selection of players who went on to show their dominance. LI is notorious for putting a group of mediocre players and claim they are the best, many of the players may be very good but put all together, the teams are ok but does not represent the best. hopefully this will change.
