I will not be making a high school thread for each age group. You will have to find a way to share this one.
Looks like a scrimmage is going to happen between Chaminade and Smithtown East. Should be fun to watch!
How do we find out when its going to happen?

No it won't be fun at all, only frustrating if it goes like Syosset's scrimmages against Chaminade . Syosset beats them by a lot and then Chaminade spends the rest of the year saying scrimmages don't count, we didn't have our "real" players, everyone was hurt, blah , blah , blah........Excuses, Excuses
Don't waste your time Smithtown East. It will be the same outcome

What a tool bag - a waste of time for Smithtown East to scrimmage against a high quality team heading into the season?
It is funny how Syosset pumps their chest on this site. In the last ten years what have they won? Two trips Upstate....

town is filled with D-bags. Its a bad place. Good lax team, but it ends there. "Gimmie, I'll take." Never hear the word please or thank you when in syosset or Woodbury at the gym, bagel store...wherever...
looks like Syosset has more state chumps titles though
spoken like a true Freshman...
kids - kids - kids, first of all the original post was knocking Chammy not exalting Syosset, it was a clumsy attempt at mocking what is the well known superior high school Long Island, everybody assumes it was a Syosset athletic supporter who made the post and now the entire hamlet is suffering the wrath of the BOTC community. Syosset is a wonderful place to raise a family with excellent schools, wonderful parks and probably the most beautiful section of Jericho Turnpike west of Jamesport. Please let's just all get along!!!! But if you feel the need to anonymously post your negativity toward the Home of The Braves please remember, we don't like you either and ESAD

Everyone else on the list won the State Championship. Syosset only could win long island
Not big on looking back or living in the past. Nobody cares about last year.
Will it be the same two or three teams fighting it out for the county championship? Will there be any surprises?
Nassau A: Syosset, Massapequa. Any other teams have a chance?
Suffolk A: Smithtown East, Northport, West Islip. Any other teams?

In the past 10 years (10 years is a long time ago) only 5 teams have won multiple county championships.
West Islip - 7
Syosset - 4
Massapequa - 3
Smithtown E - 2
Farmingdale - 2
In the past 4 years ( a little more relevant) only 3 teams have won multiple county championships.
Syosset - 2
Smithtown E - 2
Massapequa - 2
* WI has 2 in the past 5 years*
In the past 3 years only 2 teams have won multiple championships.
Massapequa - 2
Smithtown E - 2
The past 2 years only 1 team has done it.
Smithtown E. - 2
Can Smithtown East make it 3 in a row? who has the best chance to knock them off?
Will Syosset be able to repeat? Who is the odds on favorite to knock them off.
Can Farmingdale or West Islip get back on top?

Sorry you can't afford it. Maybe you should have studied harder. Good luck south shore.
Syosset is damn good. Hopefully be another good battle this year with Pequa. No other teams are close in Nassau A.
Which programs have the best new crop of ready fro varsity Freshmen coming in?
Must consider Cham & St. A's even though they take talent from all over and never bring them up for varsity.
Syos
Pequa
WM

Manhassett

The fact that someone is asking this question shows the lack of quality among even the stronger HS programs. If these programs are bringing up "a crop" of 9th graders HS lacrosse is really watered down. There are very few if any 2019's who would start on the top 2018 club teams. Forget about starting on the 2017 or 2016 teams.

That snide question from a guy trolling this site? What didn't you like about his post? Is it that he didn't attack anyone?
[lacrosse] off troll, go back under your rock you. I guess your team will not be competing for a championship this year. You are a [lacrosse].

the better HS programs that bring up freshman do it for a variety of reason, kids get better practicing against better players, better practice coaching, experience that will be needed down the road and keep the team "better" for years to come and in some cases the freshman help the teams win that year.
the only thing not watered down is your drink

Looks as if you are the one drinking. Who are you responding to? What are you saying or implying?
Maybe if I started drinking I would be able to figure out what you are trying to say.

A public HS team is not a club team. Saying no 2019 could play on a 2018 club team holds no weight. Although I think a few certainly can. I am not sure if the question asked is from someone who Just wants to know which school has the best 2019 class (if so please go on the 2019 thread for that) or If it is truely if Freshman will find time on varsity.
Personally, I think there are a lot of freshman across the island who will get play. Some in top towns some not. Remembering (what many hate to hear) 4 towns all have returning 2019's to their varsity teams from last year. I know you will say not the elite schools but experience none the less and All with playoff experience.

I disagree now that I think about it. A 2019 can play on a 2016 2017 travel team especially if he was the only one. You are not talking about a team of 2019's verses a team of 2016 2017 but a well place player can play. Especially whe surrounded by experienced players.
St Anthonys and Chaminade coaches were absolutely brilliant. I'm talking genius. Starting a club team and make a small mint each. But here is what isn't talked about. They brainwashed the parents. And the parents had no idea it was happening. Hey Joe Parent, don't you want to be associated with a winner? So what if you son is on the C team. You can still stand under our tent, and feel good about yourself. So what if we aren't going to promote your kid. He can still play in summer tournaments. Who cares that there are no college coaches watching? Who cares that the coaching is sub par. Wear our apparel and you too can "feel" like a winner. Over a decade of that thinking and here you have St. Anthonys and Chaminade. If you have been around the lacrosse block a few years, ask yourself this. 15, 20, 25 years ago what parent in their right mind would send their kid to a private school to be 3rd, 4th, 5th string? To be one of 8 goalies? To get cut because 100 kids go out for the team? And pay thousands of dollars on top of that? A travel team mentality now rules the high school lacrosse world. This isn't about their kids. I know of kids that would be stars on their public high school team only to be cut by one of the Big 2. This is about the parents and puffing out their chests that there son goes to a winner. Not plays for a winner. Goes to a winner. Well played directors. Well played. And as an added bonus you get the arrogant MC telling everyone which kids suck and will never play. Only in America. LOL

Thank you for this totally original, never been said before post! let me cut you off before your next few insightful posts. HS coaches who also coach summer teams are bad, daddy coaches are bad, Donald Trump does not like illegal immigrants, anonymous posters are really tough people and you think your kid should have been made the express A team

MC kid was cut from WM which is why he went private. Publics beat privates many times. Anyone who buys the argument that private is better at lacrosse just doesn't go to a good public.
teams like those two have half the team who don't get on field. Then the parents go around saying that their kid would be a star if they stayed in public school.

If these programs are bringing up "a crop" of 9th graders HS lacrosse is really watered down. There are very few if any 2019's who would start on the top 2018 club teams. Forget about starting on the 2017 or 2016 teams.
I disagree now that I think about it. A 2019 can play on a 2016 2017 travel team especially if he was the only one. You are not talking about a team of 2019's verses a team of 2016 2017 but a well place player can play. Especially whe surrounded by experienced players.
I believe the post said "start" not just "play " on a "top" club team not just any "club" team. The post said there are "very few" it did not say none.
I agree with the poster as he was responding to a post that was asking "what programs have the best crop of ready for varsity 9th graders". By using the word "crop" he was implying many players. If the top HS programs on the Island have to bring up a bunch of 9th graders the programs are in fact watered down.
There are very few 9th graders who would "start" on the 2018 91 A Team.

Thank you for this totally original, never been said before post! let me cut you off before your next few insightful posts. HS coaches who also coach summer teams are bad, daddy coaches are bad, Donald Trump does not like illegal immigrants, anonymous posters are really tough people and you think your kid should have been made the express A team
Very insightful......you must be the south shore type in there 10 year old dodge Ram with 91 stickers all over it.

All these posts about the question yet no answers to the question.
Are there any teams likely to have 2 or more freshmen playing up on varsity?

MC kid was cut from WM which is why he went private. Publics beat privates many times. Anyone who buys the argument that private is better at lacrosse just doesn't go to a good public.
I highly doubt the kid was cut. However, if he was then shame on the coaches. If true that he was cut (which I doubt) the coaches probably cost the team a championship or two. He is by far the best player to come out of that town in the past 20 or 30 years.
Over the years Chaminade and St. Anthony's have had great players from towns that have strong lacrosse programs as well as strong academics. Maybe, just maybe they choose to go to a Catholic School for more than just lacrosse. Kids from Massapequa, Syosset, CSH, Huntington, Ward Melville, Smithtown, Garden City, Manhasset etc...
As for the question of being better for lacrosse. I would ask, over the past 10 years what schools have produced the most NCAA Devision 1 All Americans? The only public that I can think of that would even come close to Chaminade and St. Anthony's would be West Islip. Garden City is a great program but I am not sure of even GC comes close.
There are a lot of great public schools with great lacrosse programs. I do understand why some on this site harbor such animosity towards the privates.
Rumor has it that Express was created to give the kid a place to play after he was cut from his own town.
Are you nuts thinking he is the best player coming out of that town in the last 30 years! That's just not knowing the history of wm.sorry your wrong
The best players should go to private if they want to. All for school choice. It's the parents of the kids that aren't elite that are the problem. They'd rather have their kid never see a minute of playing time to be on a winner, versus being an intricate part of their public school team or even a lower private school. It's the parents' selfishness and egos not the Directors being pointed out. The sheep willingly follow.

The post said 20 - 30 years. Can't think of many in the past 20 years and certainly not any in his generation the past 10 years. Did you know that Jim Brown is the best lacrosse player to ever come out of Manhasset? How far back do you have to go to even find one player from WM who would be considered an elite college player? By the way, I think there is a freshman at GT who will be an All American at some point.
Funny how a town that boasts about their "One Town team" also wants to boast about cutting a kid from the town (not sure if true). How ironic that the best player on their best team in the past 20 years is not even from the town. Surprised they didn't recruit Rob Pannell as well to come play for them. Who knows, maybe they did.
There have been some amazing players coming out of Great Neck historically.

Also ironic the "best" player from the town was unable to lead Maryland to a National championship!
Pequa beat top public lax school, only beat Chaminade one time. Please stop with public is better then Catholic. Maybe every 10 years.

MC coaches JV not Varsity, so who really cares!
Coaches JV and seems to have his tentacles everywhere. Even the UA tryouts have been tainted.
Private should beat public every day of the week. The All Star Club team vs the Town PAL team. Shouldn't be a contest. But ironically it is.
why? because they chose to go to private /catholic school doesn't mean they are the best from each community. look at Chaminade. you mean to tell me that the best GC and Manhasset players chose Chammy? ridiculous

Well said about the "One Town One Team" from the previous poster.
MC's kid was not cut from WM. Express was not created because he was cut. 3V did not allow him to play with them since he wanted to guest play with others, so his father started Express. You get better when you play with the better players. He was one of the best players to come out of 3V. No one can dispute that. There are many great players that came out of 3V.
You can say what you want about Express. If you don't want to pay the $ for the training, exposure, team practices, very competitive tournaments, and connections, then don't. That's up to you. Not sure why so many people care public vs private, club vs town. Every parent does what works for his family.

Missing the point. It's now what's best for the family for junior to sit on the bench at Chammy or St A's? It's what's best for Dad, feeling like a winner. Let your kid go where he is going to play. Stop with those two schools being an extension of 91 and LIE. You bought the sales pitch, but there are going to be hundreds and hundreds of kids who's high school lacrosse memories are going to be clapping as the elite players "play." Sure your son will be in the year book team photo. But is this now what high school lacrosse is supposed to be? Let's get back to some semblance of perspective and maybe just maybe kids going into their senior year will commit to where they will play for the following four years, versus in the 9th grade.
Kid didn't play because he wasn't good enough at that time. Ultimate case of daddy will fix it!

I know I'm missing the point, what is your point. More specifically are you talking 2019 again or is it 2018 ( because 2017's is just crying over spilt milk at this point, but then again some do dredge up the past, really talking about Jr.). What is it, just come right out with it. I read this as a kid (or a few) going to Chammy or StAs should have stayed home. If that is not what was meant clear it up, I have ADHD to many moving parts. Please clear this up or move on.

Well, I take it that way. Kind of like the kids think they are stepping from pal to elite travel by going private. Only, it has been demonstrated in multiple instances that this is not the case. If you are a good player, and have any sense of community pride, stay home and help lift your own program instead of spending all that time and $$$ to go private and ride the pine.

The post said 20 - 30 years. Can't think of many in the past 20 years and certainly not any in his generation the past 10 years. Did you know that Jim Brown is the best lacrosse player to ever come out of Manhasset? How far back do you have to go to even find one player from WM who would be considered an elite college player? By the way, I think there is a freshman at GT who will be an All American at some point.
Funny how a town that boasts about their "One Town team" also wants to boast about cutting a kid from the town (not sure if true). How ironic that the best player on their best team in the past 20 years is not even from the town. Surprised they didn't recruit Rob Pannell as well to come play for them. Who knows, maybe they did.

Well said about the "One Town One Team" from the previous poster.
MC's kid was not cut from WM. Express was not created because he was cut. 3V did not allow him to play with them since he wanted to guest play with others, so his father started Express. You get better when you play with the better players. He was one of the best players to come out of 3V. No one can dispute that. There are many great players that came out of 3V.
You can say what you want about Express. If you don't want to pay the $ for the training, exposure, team practices, very competitive tournaments, and connections, then don't. That's up to you. Not sure why so many people care public vs private, club vs town. Every parent does what works for his family.
Missing the point. It's now what's best for the family for junior to sit on the bench at Chammy or St A's? It's what's best for Dad, feeling like a winner. Let your kid go where he is going to play. Stop with those two schools being an extension of 91 and LIE. You bought the sales pitch, but there are going to be hundreds and hundreds of kids who's high school lacrosse memories are going to be clapping as the elite players "play." Sure your son will be in the year book team photo. But is this now what high school lacrosse is supposed to be? Let's get back to some semblance of perspective and maybe just maybe kids going into their senior year will commit to where they will play for the following four years, versus in the 9th grade.
I know I'm missing the point, what is your point. More specifically are you talking 2019 again or is it 2018 ( because 2017's is just crying over spilt milk at this point, but then again some do dredge up the past, really talking about Jr.). What is it, just come right out with it. I read this as a kid (or a few) going to Chammy or StAs should have stayed home. If that is not what was meant clear it up, I have ADHD to many moving parts. Please clear this up or move on.
Well, I take it that way. Kind of like the kids think they are stepping from pal to elite travel by going private. Only, it has been demonstrated in multiple instances that this is not the case. If you are a good player, and have any sense of community pride, stay home and help lift your own program instead of spending all that time and $$$ to go private and ride the pine.
So you say to stay at your public school with the kids baggy pants and backward baseball hats etc..etc....instead of attending a school with strong religious and community based principles and rated as one of the top 50 athletic programs in the nation and the #1 athletic program in NY State. Stop with your nonsense.
No, that's what you say! My kids public education and top rated athletic program is just fine, evident by the stellar programs he and his peers are committed to attend. Oh, and he only wears Polo clothing. Love seeing him look sharp and rock those AP exams! Hek, he my even enter college as a sophomore with all the AP and other college level offerings he's taking advantage of. Life is good!
So your position is that only at Chaminade do elite players get most of the time? Have you ever watched GC or Manhasset or any other top, competitive program? They have their stars and they leave them out their most of the time. You live and play in a top district and that is what you will be confronting. Not everybody gets a trophy.
Well there you have it. We finally get to the real issue. Dad feels guilty he brought his family into a non-lacrosse town with derelicts in the school system. So now he can feel good about himself that his son goes to a winner and hangs out with kids he wouldn't otherwise in his lower middle class community.
I attended a public HS and State University as did my wife. Our children go to public school as well. I could care less where other people send their children to school or where they have them play lacrosse. Do what you believe to be best for your children.
Why do some of you have such animosity, why the resentment, why such bitterness regarding the private schools. Why do you call their lacrosse teams "All Star" teams? Why do you refer to their clubs as "elite" clubs? Do only the "best" players from each town attend the privates? Do you realize how petty and foolish you sound? Why do you care where other parents decide to send their children to school?
As far as lacrosse goes, I think West Islip and maybe Garden City are the only public schools that even come close to St Anthony's and Chaminade over the past 10 years. If you are looking at what schools best prepare the kids for college lacrosse I would say only West Islip can compare with the two privates. What other school have put out a significant number of D1 All Americans over the past 10 years. I have seen the term "elite" used too liberally, I would define a D1 All American as "elite". I would not use the term to describe a kid who plays for a club team.

When picking from a pool of over 100 vs maybe 45 in a large lacrosse town, c'mon, we know where the odds are stacked. Plus you have the two major club teams as a feeder system. Stop with the nonsense. Chaminade has kids commuting from all over the Island including Suffolk.

Also ironic the "best" player from the town was unable to lead Maryland to a National championship!
Which 3V player won a national championship? I truly don't know of any. No sarcasm here.
I think there was a three villages kid won a national championship at Tufts.

This isn't about their kids. I know of kids that would be stars on their public high school team only to be cut by one of the Big 2. This is about the parents and puffing out their chests that there son goes to a winner. Not plays for a winner. Goes to a winner. Well played directors. Well played. And as an added bonus you get the arrogant MC telling everyone which kids suck and will never play. Only in America. LOL
maybe, just maybe, people send their kids to those schools for reasons other than lacrosse and the kid happens to play lacrosse as well. Would you also be surprised if it were the kids themselves that actually want to go to those schools and not just for lacrosse.

Wishful thinking but in reality it's the parents decision in my guess over 90 percent. I know one kid who goes to catholic school and would be a pretty good player for his public school team but will only be a number for their team. And if he wanted to switch back to public school they won't because the parent has too much pride to let it happen and the son will pay the price. fair no but reality.

I know of two kids who would have played for their public HS but went to Chaminade and were cut. They both stayed and both kids have told me if they knew before going to Chaminada tthey still would have would have gone, they loved the school. As a parent I wanted my son to go to Chaminade but he said no, he wanted to stay with his friends in public school (and he plays for Express) so every case is different and unique.
I can't even imagine how difficult it is going through life as bitter as some of you people are. The amount of energy wasted carrying on about how public schools are better than private schools. The bitterness directed at kids who play for 91 or express. The gloating when St. A's or Chammy lose a game is pathetic. Some of you are deeply troubled and in need of mental help.

After its all over, an 18 or 19 year old doesn't want to admit a mistake. So the kid has to miss out on HS lax because of people (parents mostly) not being realistic about their kids situation. A shame.

For every two of those there may be two more who feel playing at Chaminade or St. Anthony's will give them a challenge a challenge which will help them on the next level

Our HS
Our High School coaches were absolutely brilliant. I'm talking genius. Starting a club team and make a small mint each. But here is what isn't talked about. They brainwashed and coerced the parents players. And the parents had no idea it was happening. Hey Joe Parent, don't you want to be associated with a winner? So what if you son is on the B team or isn't one of our boys. You can still stand under our tent, and feel good about yourself. So what if we aren't going to promote your kid. He can still play in summer tournaments. Who cares that there are no college coaches watching? Who cares that the coaching is sub par. Wear our apparel and you too can "feel" like a winner. Over a decade of that thinking in youth through HS and here you have our HS program. If you have been around the lacrosse block a few years, ask yourself this what parent wouldn't want their kid to reach their full potential. Who would want to limit their kids experience and pay thousands of dollars on top of that? A travel team mentality now rules the high school lacrosse world (that is because some HS coaches want to consider it one and the same). This isn't about their kids. I know of kids that would be stars on their public high school team only to be cut by one of the Big 2 (no kid who gets cut would be a star). This is about the parents and puffing out their chests that there son goes to a winner. Not plays for a winner. Goes to a winner. Well played Coaches. Well played. And as an added bonus you get the arrogant HS coaches telling everyone which kids suck and will never play and which grades are good and which are not.
I know at least one kid who goes to Kellenberg and plays for the name express just to make sure their kid plays at Kellenberg. You are not talking one of the top HS around, it's very sad that the parents would drink the Kool Aid to play there.. Paying thousands to just play on the HS team and be only a number on one of their travel teams
How about a very good Chaminade kid (2018) that was cut. Guess he plays on the wrong club team. Somehow if he played for the Express, I'm sure he would have made the team. And like many parents too embarrassed to go back to public. So they say, oh well, at least he's getting a good education. But the kid wants to play high school lacrosse. Winners: 2 private High schools, LIE and, parents. Losers: the children.

I know several kids in certain town's who play for the HS coaches pay to play summer team because they are afraid not paying and playing will have a negatively impact them. Its very sad that the parents would drink the kool aid and pay thousands of dollars just to play on the summer team and only be a number on their high school team.
How about a kid that does not play lacrosse and has no desire to ever play lacrosse, has never heard of Jack Moran or Mike Chanenchuck yet goes to Chaminade anyway? there could be more to this whole Chaminade thing then just lacrosse
that is well put. one of the previous posters contended that since they have so many commute from various distance that it somehow enhances the pool of athletic talent. pretzel logic at best.

Hooray for those kids. Yes, plenty of kids that don't play sports at Chaminade. Thanks for the breaking news. Some other breaking news for you. Their parents don't even know this website exists. See, "back of the cage" connotes, Lacrosse. The "tip of the pencil" and "keys on the calculator" websites can be found using google search. LOL (anyone doubt this genius was going to actually search for those websites?)
LOL at yourself? now that's a toolbag move. that following an insult to non athletes. you are a class act.

Uhhh....ok. Keep telling yourself that. Polo??? really.....vineyard vines old man. AP exams?...sure. Keep drinking that Koolaid.
Vinyard vines is for p****ies. Guess when you thought the grass looked greener over there, you didn't realize it was because it's fake. Sorry the truth bothers you!
You guys are making fun of each other's clothes? That's awesome. "My kid is way tougher because he wears Polo instead of Vineyard Vines!". I'd love to see what happens to your girlie-boys in a real neighborhood!

What insult, Mary? Stop with the dramatics and find a forum with which you can extol about all the troubles in the world. In the meantime, the rest of us will talk about lacrosse related issues.

Calling someone "Mary" isn't a lacrosse-related statement; it's a sexist statement that has nothing to do with lacrosse. Ironic, no?

Well, since your "tip of the pencil" and "key on the calculator" kids wouldn't be on BOTC, how about bringing it back to lacrosse. FYI You really shouldn't laugh at your own attempts at humor. It connotes a lack of maturity!
Once again, the NON-ATHLETE parents bashing each other. what a bunch of clowns. Ask yourself this "what would my son say about me for posting such silliness?" would junior be proud or embarrassed.

You can still stand under our tent, and feel good about yourself. So what if we aren't going to promote your kid. He can still play in summer tournaments. Who cares that there are no college coaches watching? Who cares that the coaching is sub par. Wear our apparel and you too can "feel" like a winner. Over a decade of that thinking and here you have St. Anthonys and Chaminade. If you have been around the lacrosse block a few years, ask yourself this. 15, 20, 25 years ago what parent in their right mind would send their kid to a private school to be 3rd, 4th, 5th string? To be one of 8 goalies? To get cut because 100 kids go out for the team? And pay thousands of dollars on top of that? A travel team mentality now rules the high school lacrosse world. This isn't about their kids. I know of kids that would be stars on their public high school team only to be cut by one of the Big 2. This is about the parents and puffing out their chests that there son goes to a winner. Not plays for a winner. Goes to a winner. Well played directors. Well played. And as an added bonus you get the arrogant MC telling everyone which kids suck and will never play. Only in America. LOL
maybe, just maybe, people send their kids to those schools for reasons other than lacrosse and the kid happens to play lacrosse as well. Would you also be surprised if it were the kids themselves that actually want to go to those schools and not just for lacrosse.
Wishful thinking but in reality it's the parents decision in my guess over 90 percent. I know one kid who goes to catholic school and would be a pretty good player for his public school team but will only be a number for their team. And if he wanted to switch back to public school they won't because the parent has too much pride to let it happen and the son will pay the price. fair no but reality.
I know of two kids who would have played for their public HS but went to Chaminade and were cut. They both stayed and both kids have told me if they knew before going to Chaminada tthey still would have would have gone, they loved the school. As a parent I wanted my son to go to Chaminade but he said no, he wanted to stay with his friends in public school (and he plays for Express) so every case is different and unique.
Why would you love a school with no girls in attendance? A lot of great schools with the opposite sex attending also. You ever walk around Chaminade, all males and a real creepy ambience.
Two types go to Chaminade. Lacrosse players and those that can't get dates.

There are a lot more than that one. They will play the kids on Express C over a good player who doesn't play club ball or plays for the wrong club. And they will finish 3rd or 4th in the AA this year!!

The fact that someone is asking this question shows the lack of quality among even the stronger HS programs. If these programs are bringing up "a crop" of 9th graders HS lacrosse is really watered down. There are very few if any 2019's who would start on the top 2018 club teams. Forget about starting on the 2017 or 2016 teams.
I disagree now that I think about it. A 2019 can play on a 2016 2017 travel team especially if he was the only one. You are not talking about a team of 2019's verses a team of 2016 2017 but a well place player can play. Especially whe surrounded by experienced players.
Nope. Not if a true 14 year old freshman. No way. Not on the elite club. The speed and size in those two or three years is big.

Why has this Chaminade stuff now also on H.S. boys site? not enough room there for the jealous haters?
To be clear my kid is in public. Last 3 goalie to graduate from Chaminade going to Duke, Army,Navy. Please stop the bashing it's a great school, that I wish my kid went to. He plays club with a lot of Chaminade kids, very nice, respectful, smart kids, 5sf5kyparents all good grounded people.

Stop! Thant cant be true. I have read many times on this site that if you go to Chaminade or St Anthony's you have to play express.

Dont get what your point is. What program can say over a 20 year span it has had 12 goalies go to play lacrosse at the level Chaminade has had. This is over just 8 years and 2017 goalies have not committed yet. I would say thats pretty impressive.
If you know anything Bates and Colby are damn good academic schools. But wait you think only if a kid goes div 1 it's worthy right. Those boys probably come out making more money then the other kids.
"Like I suspected, only 1 per certain grad years went anywhere brag worrhy"
Typical Long Island public school response. Colby and Bates are two of the better academic schools in the country. Go ahead and keep dreaming about that 1/8 of an athletic scholarship to UMass-Lowell. That is what it is all about, right?

That's funny! Obviously you never heard of Syosset, Ward Melville, Smithtown, GC, Manhasset. Multiple kids going Ivy and top 20 in those program. Please spare us the baseless grasp at an insult, not working, biff.

The point is the top public programs also commit goalies, as well as other positions to very good programs, not just Chaminade. It's always got to be a contest, Chaminade groupies constantly beating their chest that they are better, their kid's go to better schools, etc. I only see 2 (3 boys) nationally ranked top 20 universities on that list, if we are talking college rankings. Not putting down any of the others, they all have their own strengths/fit for the student-athelte,

There is no insult. The person listed goalies. I don't think there is another program that can come anywhere near what Chaminade has done in the last 8 years for goalies.

There are scores of public high schools on Long Island. The Red Cup guys only post about six to eight of them. How is recruiting going at Mepham, Valley Stream Central and North Bab? Stop it already.

The original poster contended that none of the backup goalies went to a school that is "brag worrhy." [sic]. Just noting that Colby and Bates are phenomenal schools. Perhaps those players did the smart thing and opted for excellent academic institutions rather than opting for Div 1 schools that aren't as well thought of. Of course, everyone can agree that it isn't about trying to win a national championship -- it is about getting a great education and using lacrosse for that purpose.

Better to wear a red jacket and have your son attend Colby than drink from a red cup and have your son attend Detroit-Mercy. But, it's ok -- you guys will never get it.
I don't get the jealousy. If you don't want your kid to go to Chaminade don't send him there.
I don't like all the bashing of red cups going on in this thread

You grouped Mepham with valley stream and north Babylon? The only thing those schools have in common is their parents aren't on this site. You think those are the towns making fun of you for wearing your red jacket like you are on the team. Hopefully your kid has a little more class than you.

Oh yes. Because it is wildly classy to drink out of red cups in the parking lot of a high school lacrosse game and make fun of other adults wearing red jackets. Yep, that's class.

Not sure how your reading compression is , but not doing either of those things. The problem is , you think the same person is responding to you. Multiple people respond to idiots like you. I'm sure it gets confusing with someone with your limited capacity.

If you have good reading compression, do you read really quickly? Or can you read really small letters with ease?
Me thinks he is wearing compression shorts that are too tight. And his PhD is from his mom. Was last years participation trophy/PhD.
Any body with an opinion on why they don't play one game a week during week and once a week on Saturday? would be nice
What schools have the best off season program? What coaches have been using the winter months to best prepare for the upcoming season? What programs have put the time in to build skill, strength/fitness, and comradery? Who has used the time to implement and teach their offensive and defensive schemes? Will there be a direct correlation between off season preparation / team building and success this spring?

How will Smithtown West be this year?
Smithtown East will be tough but can they win three in a row?
West Islip, Sachem North and Connetquat should all challenge. Northport?
Interesting, Inside Lacrosse ranks two public Long Island High schools above the almighty Chaminade!
Upstate public Victor at #4
Interesting, Inside Lacrosse ranks about 80 Long Island public high schools below the almighty Chaminade.

Syosset does it too. They're called captain's practices and the coach is not "involved". That's how it's done at all the top programs.

Guess it comes down to quality, not quantity!
CSH>Manhasset
who cares, won't really matter until mid season.
don't get too hung up on the preseason rankings...Lots of teams not on the initial list play teams on the list...
Suffolk county got very little respect other than sme...lots of good games to be had out in Suffolk this year and suspect by the end of the year, you will have three of those teams in the top ten...
Chammy plays WM early so i expect we will see how they both stack up...

They've got West Islip early on the schedule as well.
True, the preseason is just that, a pediction. And the prediction is that based on prior performance of the team and individual players, Chaminade ranks below some publics. The WM game will be an interesting indicator, as they were not ranked in the top 20. It does matter, of course not to those who were snubbed!
what has happened to GC? lose too many players to Chaminade?

GC has been down last few years. Its cyclical. Football hasn't been elite in 3-4 years
WM not in the top 20 was not a snub i/m/o-my kid is on that team. The last few years they graduated several all Americans. Those kids were incredible, but now is the time for others to shine-or not...we will see if the team can play as a team and not just a team supporting a couple of all Americans.
Like previous poster said, Suffolk will be a really interesting year because all of the top teams are playing each other. So, northport, sme, smw, sachem N, connetquot and even Commack all have legitimate shot to beat each other up during the regular season (if I didn't mention your school, no disrespect, the teams i listed are the one's I am aware of, others may be just as strong).
I suspect that there will be no undefeated teams in Suffolk this year-which is great for parents watching the games, but probably not great for these rankings...so unlike other poster's opinion, I would not expect three teams in suffolk to be ranked in the top ten (perhaps top 20).
either way, I for one am looking forward to this season as compared to last season. Last season had only a few good games all year until playoffs. This year, all the big lax schools play competitive schedules with very few blow out games...
good luck to all your boys and their schools.

What makes this year different from the past 10 or 15 years? This is a two or three team league as usual. If things have changed is it because some programs have gotten stronger or is it that some programs are no longer dominant?

Not only that, but the WM makes no mention of West Islip. That's messed up.
last year they changed the schedule so that many of the top teams did not play each other during the year...it meant games against some schools that were pure blowouts. not fun for anyone. this year all the strong teams playing each other during the season...

Every year we hear the same nonsense. Every year we hear how tough the league is and how any number of teams could win it. The reality is that every year there are only 2, 3 or 4 teams who can win it. That is not a knock it's the same in all of the leagues on the island.

So?
Even the most ardent Garden City homers would admit that 2015 was a rough year for lacrosse. 7 losses?
Even the most ardent Garden City bashes would admit that between sports and academics Garden City is the best public in Nassau County
I say Pequa close ?
Wow has the lacrosse world changed over the past few years. There are approximately 100 2019 verbal commitments. I would guess 95% have not played a Varsity game.
It looks like every single one of the kids play Club.
There are approximately 30 Clubs represented.
Sweetlax, Laxachussets, Big 4 HHH, and Edge are leading the pack. Express, Madlax, Crabs, 91 and some others are not far behind, all have multiple commits.
About 20 DI Schools have at least one 2019 commit. The usual suspects have as many as 13.
I would guess that 15 - 18 of the current Top 20 have at least one freshman committed and just about all of the Top 30 - 40 schools were actively recruiting the class of 2019 this past summer and fall.
You gotta be in it to win it. Crazy.

And let's hope 70% of them transfer, so the madness will end.
Most HS teams only have one goalie per year. Who would want to be a goalie?
That's one year, look at the last 5-10 to get a better grasp on it. But homer is pretty funny!

a younger one that thinks he will be the one next year
another one that thinks he is good enough to be the one

How about the 15 years before that?
2014- that would be the season before last -no ?
WM beats WI during season 9-8 double OT
WI beats WM 7-5 in semi-final to get to County championship with overachieving team that everybody wrote off. I won't even go into the history between these two teams the last 15 years or so. Actually we get along pretty well with WM fans. Mutual respect thing you probably wouldn't understand.

Not sure what you mean by saying "Last three years has not been any rivalry between these two teams...".
Personally I do not like looking to the past. I prefer to look at the upcoming season. Maybe look at a year or two as some of the current players were on the teams over the past two years. But, if you want to look at ancient history a more relevant time frame would be five years. Over the past five years WM and WI have played each other seven times.
West Islip has won five of the past seven games. The series is tied at one and one over the past two years. The only game that matters is the next one.
You Garden City people are funny... or should I say West hempstead, Franklin Square, Mineola New hyde Park people now living in GC are funny. Enjoy your 50x100 and overcrowded HS fields...and looking up at Manhasset again this year. I'd go there or CSH in a second over GC if I still lived on LI.
You guys sound like my son arguing with his friends about who is better jets or giants. My son is 12.
Agreed with WI person on all points. Apologies for leaving out of my original post.

Not at all. I just found the obvious oversight both intentional and hilarious. There will always be a friendly rivalry between these two programs.

GC football has had a lean 3-4 years
GC lax too been below the acceptable levels of years past
the girls in GC have been better of late

Well, at least there's something GC and Syosset parents can all agree on: they wish they could've afforded Manhasset.
Manhasset is great too! I love being able to smell what my neighbor is cooking on his Bar-B-Que and there is such a cosmopolitan feel--like you are in Queens.

that was flat out funny -
GC football was 9-1 in 2015, if that's lean not sure what you consider FAT. But this is a lax discussion, I would ask this, who did GC play last year? Non conference and conference. Out of state and in state? Look it up.
Can a team be competitive without a solid goalie?
Nope

Competitive? Yes. But without a solid keeper don't expect to win any hardware.
Having a good Face Off guy helps. but if you don't have a good goalie it is tough

This is high school not D1. Nobody does what you're asking.
Syosset does it too. They're called captain's practices and the coach is not "involved". That's how it's done at all the top programs.
The good distinct do. Mine has been practicing 1-2 times a week since early fall.
What District is that?? [/quote
Smithtown East/ West. I susspect they are nit alone
So me teams are even stealing field time from other districts fields! UNBELIEVEABLE
Pequa too- Practicing outside when weather permits. Full speed training 2x per week all winter. Sunday nights indoor box play.

The game is won and lost on face offs and on ground balls (possessions), the only way a goalie has a huge outcome on a game is with his clears and directing his defense a good shot will beat a good goalie every time.

Why? At least someone is using the fields, since your team is home playing x-box

One of the dumbest thing I've heard on here. If one goalie makes two saves he shouldn't and the other goalie doesn't make two saves he should, it's a game changer. And by the way, the best goalies don't get hit with the ball that often. Unless, of course you are talking about box lacrosse. So this nonsense of just throw someone in there with balls of steel who can make outlet passes, save it for the other parents you're drinking out of red cups with, in the parking lot. Anyone who knows anything about lacrosse can pick out a really good goalie and a really bad goalie in two seconds. And by the way, the elite goalies make the defense in front of them even better, directing the defenses play. So how does that ability make them overrated? Full disclosure, just in case you think my son is a goalie. I coach varsity HS lacrosse and my son played attack. Maybe attack is overrated, where all they have to do is possess the ball and hit your stud midfielder for a goal. That's pretty absurd too.
If you think the game is won on face offs and groundballs, go check the box score of Yale vs Maryland this past weekend.

No clue about the game whatsoever. Goalie and faceoff are 2 most important players on the field. Goalies need fast hands, fast feet a knowledge of the game. Greater than any player. Goalues hurl themselves in harms way with less pads than other players on the field. They don't wear shoulder pads or elbow pads. Their gloves are useless. A lacrosse goalie faces shots from multiple planes. High to low, low to high, etc. All while being screened. The lacrosse goal is 6x6 versus a hockey goalie which is 3x6. Hockey goalie faces shots from one plane off the ice and they wear more pads than the stay puft marshmallow man. Players in lacrosse have more hold and control of the ball than ever before and can do more than any other sport with the ball in their stick.
Why do you think there are so few goalies as early commits. Coaches don't dare rush to pick one. Goalie is like a fine wine needs to fully mature and develop before being chosen. You can take an athletically gifted kid and put a long pole in their hand and they will excel. Now put a goalie stick and they wouldn't have the faintest idea of what to do. Arch a 5 step or a 7, high arch low arch, pipe to pipe movement, clears, defensive sets, the offensive plays of the other team, calling slides 1st and 2nd all while trying to stop a ball moving at over 100mph.

Thank you, Coach. Very well said. As the parent of a goalie, I would like the poster of the low lacrosse IQ poster to stand in front of the cage during a varsity lacrosse game. You would never last.

2013 WM wins the state championship with a unrecruited goalie that walked on in college and the next year 2014 Massapequa wins the the state championship with a goalie that never plays in college. the original post was asking if team can be competitive without a solid goalie and that was two recent examples of teams winning it all without a great goalie. 2015 Farmingdale had arguably the best goalie on the Island and lost in the first round of the playoffs. give me a great team and an OK goalie every time

Yup, I could be your son's coach. Wouldn't you love to know. Now rather than comment on overrated positions worry about your important things, like where you are going to place the team tent this summer LOL
2012 West Islip Championship team wouldnt have gone anywhere without their goalie who is now a 4 year starter and Captain at Brown. Ask anyone who played on that 2012 team and they will tell you to a man that he made all the difference and he was their best and most important player. Yes I agree a superior team can overcome a mediocre goalie, but an outstanding goalie can make a good team a great one.

I will have to agree with you on that, coming off a 2x county championship. Lacrosse is so dynamic. So many factors involved. Sometimes it all comes together due to teamwork and respect. Good luck to all the teams this season. Should be an exciting one! Who wants it?

The 2013 WM goalie was off the charts good that year. And was so good that he walked on to Cornell. All from how well he played as a senior. I posted before that you Can be competitive with a bad goalie but you will never win championships without one. IMHO

Like was said earlier it takes time for a goalie to develop because being a goalie takes much more than being a good athlete. There is so much to being a goalie and unless you have played the position you will never know what it takes to be a goalie.

Coach, I have never had a red solo cup at a HS or summer tournament nor do I hang under the tents, The original post was meant as a joke to what appeared to me to be a silly question and I figured I would stir the pot little to drive people a little crazy but what I got was a typical bully reply from a HS coach (if that is even true). the funny part is my so plays goalie..... And I truly hope you are not my sons coach, I would be embarrassed for my coach if he trolled BOTC, this is a great site for insecure psychotic parents not bully parents
It is a team sport. Having a stud (at any one position) will not help you win anything if the rest of the team is weak. If you have a team filled with good players then a great player or two will put you over the top. It can be a super star goalie, a dominant fogo, a stud defender it really doesn't matter. Insert a stud into a team of solid players and it puts the team over the top. I think a team can be competitive without a solid goalie but it certainly helps to have an above average guy between the pipes.

I don't understand. Are you saying the goalie was bad ? He was more than adequate. They had a lot of firepower but he stepped up in the big games. Lost 7-4 to Chaminade, played great in 6-5 3OT loss to GC, and played good enough to beat SE 13-12 in LIC. Great defense helped.
okay take a stab at it.

Smithtown East - Return experience and talent on Offense. Strong at the FO X
West Islip - Athletic, hungry and gritty with quality coaching.
Connetquot - Should build upon last season. Attack will put up points.
Sachem North - Dark horse to be in the final four.
Just my opinion and curious as to who agrees. If a freshman is good enough to make Varsity I hope he is given a fair shake. If he is better then a junior or senior and has been putting in the effort over the years and outplays others he shouldn't be held back..its varsity lacrosse and the best should be the ones to play and not be grade based. So you would hope coaches don't make that mistake and give in to pressure from older kids parents
My b opinion is he better be alot better. if its real close my loyalty is to the older kid.

If he is a better player and will help the team win then he should make the team and play. It's HS best kids play
Top ranked teams off to a rough start. BL gave #3 Landon an [lacrosse] whooping yesterday 9-1 and #1 Haverford got smoked by Calvert Hall. Should be an interesting year.

I am going thru this right now, my son is a 9th grader and has been told he will start varsity this year. He has been working out with them last summer, fall and this winter. It seems like most of the kids are ok with him playing, but it seems the parents are the ones who have the problem. I will be sitting at the opposite side of the bleachers during each game. I really don't want to listen to the comments the parents have. in travel I hide in the corner so I don't have to listen to the crazy parents and now I have the same problem with High School
You may be right but scrimmages are just that nothing more- they mean nothing - each coach handles them differently so to put any credence in them is a mistake .... also rankings in general are a joke although it is fun to talk about them

to paraphrase Confucius: "If hate is inevitable, lie back and enjoy it" - don't hide from the haters, be proud of your son's accomplishments and sit front row, cheer him on and let him see you there being proud and not hidden.

Most coaches are not playing scrimmages to win. They are trying out different combinations of players to see who will eventually start. What works, what doesn't. If you think a scrimmage score is a strong indicator of team success, you are dead wrong!

I would offer up not to distance yourself like you do in club. Embrace your son's spot on the team. There may be times you scratch your head at your sons play and others, it happens. The good thing is the kids embraced him, if that is so then the majority of the parents will. Please don't alienate yourself from them and the total experience. You may not live in the same town as your club teammates. You do in Public HS. Enjoy the ride and good luck this season

My son was brought up in 9th grade to varsity. It was a great experience for him. Be proud of his accomplishments. As a parent I felt very little animosity from other parents. The only negative I really saw then and still see now is that some other players were and are overlooked by coaches always thinking of the next year and developing new young talent all while there are talented kids sitting on the bench. Actually develop is the wrong word.. if it had not been for the youth program and summer travel my son has not learned a thing ftom his current coaches. Some parents use the threat to take their 8th grader to catholic school if the coach does not bring him up next year. Unfortunately for our high school program the head coach buys in to this nonsense and let's a few parents dictate the varsity line up. Hopefully this year it will all work out.
that's really an honest assessment of what happened in our town. wont name town but its an easy guess.
not going to mention any high school names. but thanks everyone for the great advice, except for the one about my son being roasted. every kid will have his good and bad moments. it will just be that his will be more dissected than the other kids.
I am proud and will be his biggest fan. I just wont be dealing with any BS from other parents. I will let my sons play speak for itself and hopefully everything works out. He needs to step up and if he doesn't than it will be a learning experience

How many of you really think parents use the threat of Catholic schools to coerce varsity hs coaches. I call BS. I see more and more when one of the better players is even considering a catholic school they keep it to themselves.
It cant be both can it, Can it? Is one worse than the other in ones eyes. I can see a family in either situation just wanting the best for their child. Since we are not present during the conversations we cannot really say what was said... but I am sure, Just like most things in life it is all in the delivery and tone.
There have been lots of things in this world misinterpreted due to delivery and tone.
Using the threat of "going Catholic" doesn't seem to make much sense. If your kid is such a stud then you would assume he'll be a varsity member as a sophomore, whereas the two best Catholics don't have a habit of bringing up either sophs and certainly no freshman.
I suppose you can make try it but if this works then the HS coach is not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

Really disagree with that whole concept. Varsity HS sports are not just win programs. Just the opposite. The proof is how many varsity programs struggle and the coach stays? When was the last public HS coach fired for not winning? If the Junior or Senior are equal to the Frosh they play, the freshman gets some varsity game time. Varsity HS sports are there for character building and bonding. Not a single program is "win or else" in HS. Not in NYS anyway. Sorry but NYS public schools are just not like that. Texas maybe but not here.

You are correct. Nobody cares except the kids playing aND their parents, and SOME coaches. Athletic director could care less. School board could care less. They only become interested if the team is winning and in playoffs. Nobody losing jobs. Best kids should play, however if it's a freshman, there better be no doubt!

It cant be both can it, Can it? Is one worse than the other in ones eyes. I can see a family in either situation just wanting the best for their child. Since we are not present during the conversations we cannot really say what was said... but I am sure, Just like most things in life it is all in the delivery and tone.
There have been lots of things in this world misinterpreted due to delivery and tone.
The Chaminade card gets used all the time. Don't kid yourself.
Seems like it could really backfire, especially in the "usual suspect" towns: Garden City and Manhasset.

I suppose you can make try it but if this works then the HS coach is not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

This policy of not taking up upperclassmen is due to the fact that they don't have to. You parents that keep sending your kids there in droves have caused this. Believe me if there were 40% less kids going out for the team, they would cherry pick the best underclassmen in order to compete. But now they would rather have a policy of not, as to not have to hear the complaining of why one sophomore was brought up and another wasn't. Has nothing to do with what's best for the program or the child. They can be fat and happy and not have to even look at players until they are upperclassmen. So to the parents who complain about this policy. If you have an underclass superstar and want them to play on varsity early, stop trying to change or merely complain about it. Vote with your feet and show us just how unbelievable little Johnny is somewhere else.

Ditto that in Syosset we wish the whining parents of our sophomores would beat feet to the Catholics. These parents look through rose tinted glasses rather having them evaluated by the coaching staff but that is what happens when daddy coaches his little boy and can't manipulate the situation. One would've thought winning a Nassau and LI Championship would give the staff some credibility but the squeaky wheel gets the grease and the other kids get the shaft.

Good luck to the boys this year. Lets support our new coach and be positive about the coming season.

It will be hard to get used to watching Sayville play without Coach D on the sideline. He instilled confidence in the boys that carried through to real life. Let's hope we get off to a strong start to the season or it could be very difficult to endure. Good luck.

Are the 2017/2018's that thin ?
Tryouts are not complete. Only one day of practice.
55 kids at tryouts need to get it down to 38- I believe they only took one freshman last year.

They are ok
Your kid must be really good or the varsity team is need of players because of school size. How do the coaches move up a kid in 9th grade to varsity unless they are a week hs team. How did the base his level of play? Did they base it on middle school games. If your kid deserves to be there then great. I've seen teams move up kids to varsity and play a position other then what he plays. The reality is that there are kids that are clearly better at the position then the kid they brought up that are kept down. Number one it's not fare to the other kids that are true to that position. Looks like varsity is doing a favor to someone. Go sit in your corner. You know the truth. You do for me I do for you. If I'm wrong then I apologize but I think this guy is full of it. Good luck to your son. Hope all goes well for him and he deserves to be there. One thing be true to yourself and don't sugar coat it.
no one has made team yet- tryout are still going on. Well see what happens with the 4 players.

Lets start off by saying you do owe me an APOLOGY. Damn that was very negative and nasty. My son earned his spot by playing with the varsity all summer, fall and winter. He is talented(not bragging or saying he is the best, but he holds his own.). Also he is playing his true position and the players on the team have been the one who have been backing and supporting him. NOT once have I ever spoken to the coach or did a sell on why my son should be on varsity. If anything I told him I want him to develop and where ever he fits is where he will be and we will be fine with it. No sugar coating and I am always true to myself and everyone else.
Are. We talking Massaqpequa, because to my knowledge
No team has been picked
No team has been picked
I believe this guy was referring to a previous post about a 9th grader who was brought up. he mentioned about the father sitting in the corner. I guess his son wasnt brought up and now he is upset that other kids get the opportunity. sorry no need to bring in a kid when its the father who is the problem
to the dad who just posted asking for the apology- What year is your son? Is he one of the 2019's?

Why are we making such a big deal about freshman from Massapequa. It's no different then any other town and if kids play Varsity as freshman .
If a kid is brought up to varsity and plays a different position than he plays and you have kids that are better at that position because it's the position that they have played what would you make of it? I by no means are mad because my kid didn't get brought up I'm just saying what does that tell the other kids on the team. I'm not worried about my kid honestly. Could care less. He can make any A team out there. It sends a bad message to the rest of the kids.
It's not about the kids being moved up. It's about the politics. What this guy is saying isn't out of the ordinary with the hs coaches. I believe he said good luck to the kid. I wish him all the luck also but call it what it is. Why would they pull a kid up, play him out of position rather then bring a kid up that is good at that position. Seems to me that it makes no sense unless someone is doing someone a favor. Anybody have an answer?

Out of position? how many kids get recruited at one position and play another in college? any doubt Myles Jones could have played out of position and still be the best player on his team at ssdm or lsm? kid at Manhasset was a great attack but they needed him at mid field so he played "out of position". got to get your best players on the field

So you are telling me a kid goes up to Varsity switches position but is not better then the kids there at the same position? So why would he switch positions in the first place?

Good coaches identify talent and put the puzzle together. Sometimes that means having a kid switch positions for the good of the team. It is a coaches job to put kids in the position that the coach believes will help the team the most. If a kid wants to play attack but the coach says "we need you on D" then the kid plays D. If the player does not want to switch positions then maybe they don't get playing time.

Is there any reason to assume the freshman players are being brought up to play positions other than their own? This is Massapequa correct? Didn't they win States just 2 years ago? These 9th graders are only being looked at is my guess. Could be the future of this program down the line. Coaches know what they are doing in that town-
Maybe thinking long term.

Not sure why everyone is so concerned with freshman playing varsity, most all schools do, if i remember correctly, didn't Syosset have at least 3 freshman starting or at least have a big role on the varsity team last year?
If the coach deems necessary to have freshman play ahead of the upperclassman, should the people concerned take it up with the coaching staff and not here. I commend the younger players, it just proves they are trying harder and want it more than the others.
my home town has 4 natural LSM's and all 4 will play this year, two at close, 1 at LSM and 1 at SSDM....players gonna play play play

SOOOOO,
Nice try, but
Is my Freshman varsity player for East Rockaway likely to be as talented as your Fresman Varsity player for Pequa, Syosset, Ward melville--- Sorry, I doubt it.
playing at one of the powerhouse as a fresman is much more of a challenge and an accomplishment.

Wouldn't want such a positive role model as EWE! A$$!
Any Freshman, who can play above an upperclassman, IMO, is well deserved. Does not matter if it is a powerhouse or not.
That's exactly what I mean. I would bring up the kid who plays that position naturally then bring up a kid to teach him the position. Trust me he's not better then kids that play that position that are left down. People are missing the whole point. Great for a kid to move to varsity as a freshman.
It's interesting to read this stuff but people shouldn't judge a player solely on reputation. There are plenty of players especially on Long Island that based upon the team they play for or the coach they have campaigning for them you would think they were the next best player to play the game. Until side by side in an unbiased evaluation system you can never truly assess players. Now when you have a club team coach involved in a High School team good luck in trying to get unbiased and fair player placement.
Nobody is talking about an upper class man
A$$ it's about a kid that is in 9th grade getting pulled up to play a different position than he is use to playing when they clearly have kids at that position on jv that are better at that position the the kid they brought up. Is that to hard for you to understand. Why bring a kid up that's skilled at that position the bring a kid up that doesn't play that position.

the answer is simple, they are a better athlete and lacrosse player. There are MANY freshman players in college that played one position in high school and then went to college and the coach saw that they can help the team just by being on the field. If this is happening in college, why wouldn't it happen in High school. you want the best players on the field and sometimes an attackman is more talented than most middies and the coach puts him in that role because he can make more of an impact. Syracuse had the leading alltime scorer in high school running defensive middie his freshman year and now he is still running middie. Johns Hopkins top middie was an all American attackman in high school and the coach ran him at middie his freshman year and he is in his 3rd year and runs the top midfield line.
Bottom line- if a player is good, he can contribute more in a different role than someone who has been playing that same position but doesn't have the same skill set.

LOVE THIS POST!!! Coaches take an interest nw and see what ya got if it works out and they are a great fit its a win win. if it is not a fit you gave them a look and you showed the player and family they matter.

we can only hope, they should be solid for several more years to come.
So if you have two kids that are both talented and are good lax players you would bring up the kid thats not a middie and play the kid at middie as oppose to bringing up the true middie thats also talented. Don't get crazy just using those positions as an example. So a team should draft a line backer and make him a running back or draft a running back. It's interesting to see how people respond to the question.

Enough with this. There are no set positions - you are either an offensive player or defensive player and that means you can be moved around. If you are an inflexible player intent on just playing one position and either only righty or lefty, bring some cushioning for the bench.
If I was a coach I would bring up the true middie as long as he is as talented as the other player that was bought up. These days there are plenty of kids that have played travel and are talented players. As long as it's not because of the kids older brother who played at that school or that the father donated the score board. I would want my son to get pulled up because they need him and not for any other reason. You guys know how hs sports are. I think they kid would feel better about himself because he made it on his own and not because of daddy. It's a hard call because what are the coaches basing his talents on. Not from middle school cause that's worse then pal. I'm sure they don't run around and go watch the kid play travel either.
its an obvious question you are asking. sure if both kids were at the same level then you bring up the kid that plays that position. but if you have a really good player at one position and he is more skilled than the other jv player then yes you bring him up. Also there are many players in the NFL that have been wide receivers in college and then switched over to defensive back because the coaches see the athletic ability and feel he is better than the other defensive backs that were at the tryouts.
Dallas Clark and ANTONIO GATES were line backers in college - JULIAN EDELMAN was a QB in college - as was Josh Cribbs, Hines Ward and ANTWAAN RANDLE EL - Dante Hall was a running back - Dustin Byfuglien was a defenseman in juniors but switched to right wing once he got to the NHL before switching back to D. smart coaches will figure out a way to get their best athletes and lacrosse players on the field.
I would agree with the athlete being better and changing position because he is a better athlete and also agree with the kid that is established at the position being brought up if your he is a good player at that position. I was wrong but why developed on if you have three good ones on jv. I'm just glad my son is working hard and when it's his turn he will be there. That I'm not worried about. I just think it sends a bad message to kids that play that position and to kids that have been on varsity for a few years. I know of kids that quit in their senior year because of stuff like this happening for the wrong reason.
Very good I like the response. As they were they better athlete coming out my bad but I didn't mean it that way. Trust me they are not looking at it in that way. I know the reason why but that's another story. Don't think it's fare to the other kids and to varsity players that are their. I hate to see kids quit anything. That's just me.
In the long run it is what it is and you can't change that I know but good luck to the boys that are their for their talent that they put out on the field. Good conversation. Great opinions.
I took a ride by Chaminade today Only to see that the new boys attempting to make the Barsity and JV teams get put in the back of the boys who are already wearing the red helmets saddest part was that some of those boys appeared to be better players then the ones with the red helmets If the coaching is fair they will make the team if it's not then politics wins and it will be a sad day for some good talented boys I hope the coaches open there eyes and do the right thing I'm just glad my son plays for another school Good Luck

His son was there, one of the boys without the red helmet I bet. Teach Jr to get to the front of the line. It's lacrosse, not the spelling bee. Waiting your turn is for kids that don't hustle. Work hard to get that extra rep. Coaches notice scrappy players that have skills.
drove by? really? you saw all that in the middle of traffic on Jericho tpke. during the afternoon, throught
the stadium wall. sure Hillary I believe you .

The ones without the red helmets are the freshmen and they are all trying out for the JV-B(freshman) team.
unlikely any are ready for varsity at this point (and cham doesn't do that with freshmen anyway)
just way too creepy...on so many levels...next stop was the local playground?

For some reason I am inclined to doubt your lacrosse talent evaluation skills....... I think Ill stick with the extremely well respected and storied Chaminade tradition of turning out winning lacrosse teams and players........
Saddest part is you driving by and spying
Wow. So UNTRUE. They take the best of the lot no matter what color helmet and have years and years of winning to prove it. My son was one of those without the red helmet and made it his senior year and what made it even more special was the fact that he wasnt the only one and Coach M pulled them aside and told them they deserved to be there. Actually having a different color helmet allows you to stand out good or bad
Speaking of lacrosse talent what is happening with GC ? Heard they are going to be on the down swing for the next few years. Actually one of the Dads told me they could start season 0-6. Heard all 3 attackmen together weigh 200lbs wet. Coach P better figure it out or they will chase him out of town. At least he better get his house built (one of the dads doing a fine job for him) I am sure they will have all the excuses ready to go. Since they play a very very weak league schedule they will get their wins. Somehow it will end up being Chaminades fault
you are obviously a GC parent. leave Chamninade out of it. your agenda is so clear, I guess you have a kid who you think got overlooked or overcome and now you want to get a shot in . why pick on specific kids? the ploy of going after a specific postion is an old one. your kid play D or middie?

I find it hard to believe that GC is starting 3 attack that weigh an average of 66.7 lbs. also why would they weigh them soaking wet? that would add weight, why not just say they weigh a combined 198.3 lbs? After you were done counting red helmets at Chaminade did you drive by GC and watch them weigh in?
Absolutely DO NOT believe a GC dad said anything of the sort, but nice try.
oh its not beyond the realm of possibility for a GC dad (or mom especially) to bash kids on his kids team. its almost the new normal there. take a page from the Manhassett playbook. they seem to be quietly good year after year and you very rarely see them posting and dishing on BOTC
Who from GC is posting on here? Got any names or posts to direct us to where a GC parent is bashing someone? By the way shouldn't you be in 9th Period at Manhasset HS instead of on the computer?
Nice feed of BS and you know it Your boy or boys either are the Red helmet groups Ask them when it's all done if and who made the team and how many Red helmets get cut
I'm just saying/ not spying could care less just an unofficial observation I had some time on my side and felt like watching For the senior father congrats I hope it's true every year
Just why do the red helmets get 4 rounds of drills and the non red only 1 or 2
I'm done this does not effect me in anyway so as I said Good Luck I just feel bad for the other boys
I'm just saying/ not spying could care less just an unofficial observation I had some time on my side and felt like watching For the senior father congrats I hope it's true every year

Actually having a different color helmet allows you to stand out good or bad
Love it!!! If your kid fought and fought until finally clawing his way onto the team as a senior I say hats off to him. 99% of kids in that situation would give up and move onto another sport. That tenacity will serve him well in the long run.
(And no I am not his father)
I cant wait to hear the bitching in another few years when your now freshman Varsity playing son gets cut to make room for a younger kid. You may say "best kids should play" now, but this will be the reality for some of you down the line. Do you really think you will be alright with that? It is embarrassing and sad to do to a kid who has been a hardworking teammate for 2-3 years.

hardworking has nothing to do with playing time, most talent plays, player that gives the team the best chance to win plays. Wow if a kid who started in varsity as a 9th grader gets cut as a senior that town will be really really good

Someone is sour....most likely any freshMan strong enough to make varsity will not be getting cut as a junior or senior. More likely that kid or kids will be the team leaders by that time. That's the whole point isn't it? Developing a core group for the future of the program. No coach will cut the hardworking players you mention as long as they are strong enough to contribute the team. Wins- that's what it's all about. This is HS not PAL

Actually my son has been on varsity for 4 years at a top program, started for last 3. He's a senior. Some of his friends have lost their starting positions to younger kids that may or may not be better. Last year Jr.s We're cut down to JV to make way for sophomores some who contriuted, others did nothing. It's gamble, but these kids are deeply hurt by some of the decisions made where a young kid may be good, but unproven in his ability to compete against top competition. I say let them wait! Another thing is that it's not special anymore when you have already been playing varsity for 4 years, just another day at the office!

So, When your son was in 9th grade and moved up to varsity (and did not even start)that was a good thing and he deserved it and he was going to be a huge contributor for years to come but now that he is a senior and his friends are losing playing time or getting cut, now it's time to "let them wait" - sort of like a son of immigrants running for president on a no immigrant platform
This is way to funny!!! The comment about creepy !,, That father / mother /???? Really now I think they need to check them selves..... The person had some time .......probably a hard working dad / mom or even a young man or women Wanted to relax chill down before going back to work or home...... Obviously likes sports !!! So now everyone is ripping him/ her apart for an unbiased comment What if he said he was a recruiter (maybe they are ione ) People stop by and watch games practices all the time it doesn't make them "creepy" It does make your thought process though ....I just hope all the boys whoever where ever get a fair shot to play Its a rough world out It is high school but they are still really just young men
I can't even believe you guys comment on this stuff !, The drove by person.....obviously meant he stopped and watched the practice ....Looks like someone wants to pick a fight with him now... Childish response .... I love the call 911 comment too OMG seriously the people reading these thing can't take criticism If you know anything about Chaminade practice Jv and Fresh don't even and Varsity doesn't practice right off of Jericho turnpike
It's not creepy scary or twisted Its a comment if they were there at all Maybe they just want to get you going And it worked that could be his hobby concentrate on the young men having fun and playing for their school Enjoy the day

Mr. Ignorant. No one is running on a no immigrant policy. Trump is running on a no ILLEGAL immigrant policy. Huge difference. Its people like you that put Obama in the White House.

I can see it now....a BOTC thread for Early Recruiting for High School (7-8 graders). Which HS is an early recruiter???? Which HS waits for kids to get older???? Which HS is using holdbacks??? Which HS has gotten burned by Early Recruiting???. C'mon now...lets get it going....Geez

The ones without the red helmets are the freshmen and they are all trying out for the JV-B(freshman) team.
unlikely any are ready for varsity at this point (and cham doesn't do that with freshmen anyway)
Why would some freshmen be given Chaminade helmets during tryouts?

For the most part, any freshman good enough to be brought up to Varsity on a competitive team is probably a D1 commit, soon to be a D1 commit or has the talent to be a very High D3 player. Without question, those kids are never getting cut and will be major contributors to their programs moving forward. These kids are usually big strong kids with equal talent, or very fast athletic kids. In almost all the cases they can compete. Will they take time away from D1 committed Seniors? Doubtful. Will they lead the team in the future? Most likely.

Is it true some very talented Chaminade freshmen last year, who DID NOT make the team, left the school, went back to there local high schools and played varsity there?

they weren't... more likely the kids played for a red team in the past. all stickers off the helmets.
maybe a small few might have had an older brother's helmet from cham but again, no stickers.

I agree with creepy!! Would not want some strange adult hanging out on school grounds.
Please no politics
So a recruiter hence adult / young man not a father or parent of one of the players is hanging out watching the practice / game "" Your label " creepy Or you go to a game Hockey Baseball Football your hanging out you go to pre-season practice major league your hanging out watching Sorry I really don't see much of a difference here Did he ask the boys if they wanted some candy No did he approach them No Whats this world coming too ......Sports are meant to be watched be it practice or a game .....

Creepy is using /," and ..... but not using a comma. And a recruiter has a role at an event same as a score keeper, ref or spectator where as all of them would be out of place at a practice / tryout.
Congrats to all the 9th and 10th graders that made their Varsity teams this year..Parents should be proud of their kids I'm sure it took a lot of hard work on your kids end. You will have parents jealous ..Been there done that .but just worry about your kid
Anybody have any recommendations for a summer league in Nassau inbetween High School and Freshman year of college? Thanks.
Scrimmages start tomorrow wooohoo!
Yeah Tobay Beach and girls.
Is it the kids talent, or parents kissing [lacrosse]?, and playing the game.

Same goes for those 8th graders. Keep your head on a swivel and enjoy the ride. Looking forward to hearing all the neah sayers on this one. If you can play you can play regardless if prominent team or not.
8th grader,how old is he 16,any kid can catch and dump in some goals in blow out games

My son played varsity in 8th grade and was 14 years old, good lacrosse town (played in county championship that year) he played in 1st quarter of games not at end of blowouts. each situation is unique based on team needs, players ability, maturity and physical development. I will never know if he would have developed better as a JV player for a year or two and maybe he would have but it is very hard to judge a kid a family or a coaches decision based on what you read on a web site.

You will see. This year there will be a 50+ point 8th grader, last year 30 point, two years before that 10-15. Don't care who the comp is and not in meaningless minutes. The pull ups are mostly need based, but that doesn't take away from the fact that the boys perform as asked. I doubt their opponents ever even knew they were 8th graders or still 13. Some of these kids learn early the key to winning is playing as a team player.
Yes. And he will be playing for Bay shore and St. A's next year.
Ok, let me explain "creepy" to you....an adult who watches the Chaminade tryouts--not a father/mother/brother mind you, just an interested party (I am guessing). Then that adult comes on the BOTC the next day and posts about what he witnessed while driving past Chaminade on tryout day. So an adult person, with NO relations to any of the boys trying out, watches enough of the tryouts to comment about all he saw the day before? guessing either standing away from the action looking through the fence?
Ok, lets say maybe its not Creepy. But wth kind of life do you not have to do that?

hahaha...well put!! now maybe the mommy can own up to having a kid trying out?

How games go today?

Saw the post about WI v Syo. What about the others?
It's only scrimmages. Let's not get crazy here. Most of these teams play a lot of backups to see what they have.
That is a surprise
It's only a scrimmage,so last year against Chaminade was only a scrimmage. But Syosset went on and on about the beat down.

Actually, this board went on and on about it, like everything else. This board will continue to go on and on about WI beating SYO too.
That's just the way it is.
No one cares about your kid

LMAO!!!!! This is great!!!!
Phenomenal. Amazing how Syosset parents downplay about losing in a scrimmage to West Islip this year when last year they couldn't stop chirping all season about outscoring Chaminade in a preseason scrimmage. Gotta love it.
WI controlled every facet of the game--more saves, more f/o's won, more shots taken whether it was at the beginning with projected starters or as the scrimmage wore on with liberal subbing by both sides. FACT. Own it Braves. Stop reading your press and get to work. Syo dad.
Pequa did pretty good.
GC won the game

Massapequa beat Lynbrook 13-2- maybe off by that score a bit. Lost track along the way. Mass played all they're newbies.
WM v miller place wasn't fun to watch at all. MP small school, WM big, and it showed...not very competitive.
Rocky Point beat Sachem East by a decent goal margin. Goalie and defense looked solid and the offense got a boost from a few freshman playing in their first Varsity game. We will see if they stay up all season or go back to JV . The three freshman combined put up at least 3 goals and five assists. (Two middies,one attackman). I think the Coach was surprised by their performance and has more young talent than he realized . If this team cleans up a few things they could have a nice year. I know it was only a scrimmage but it was encouraging to see the boys have some good success! Hope it lasts.
pequa looked good

Worst defensive group we've had in years , the fact you omitted that clearly depicts your identity. You are a controversial distraction so keep your mouth shut and don't post about this team.

That's partly true. With the GC vs. Friars Starters, I actually think Friars had a one/two goal advantage after three quarters. However in the 4Q, GC's 2nd-liners outscored St A's 2nd team. Clean, physical, fast-paced game. GC is better than expected. Biggest surprise is on the defensive end given the poles that graduated. St A's has deep talent, will be interesting to see how they match up vs. the Flyers.
??? wth are you talking about? "Distraction". Do you differ with the assessment of yesterdays SYO / WI scrimmage? Learn, improve and move forward. DON"T WHINE! It doesn't behoove us. It is what it is.
How did HHHW look yesterday. Hoping they took CSH to the woodshed.
I'm from WI and watched the game we did beat them but not crushed. Both teams had a lot of turnovers and all players played on both teams. We have a lot of work to do but we have some talent top to bottom and it should be a good year.
I'm looking forward to some tough games ahead.

If St Anthony's has such "deep talent" why were their 2nd liners pushed around by the 2nd liners on GC?
Ok it seems like most tryouts are over and cuts have been made. What is everyone's opinion on how long do coaches do evaluations before determining where a player is placed (JV or Varsity). If it's a small margin can a decision be made in one week. Any coaches on here please chime in. Do most evaluations go on for 1 week or 2. Once a player is delegated to JV are they given a chance to play Varsity?
Coaches know already...are you serious???

I realize this is a shot at me (an my kid) but I was not the original poster, I never ever go on this site and say anything bad about any players on any team, they are kids, I have commented in the past about parent behavior and sobriety but never about the kids, see you at the scrimmage today - peter

I would think this is the case. You don't.
Assuming this comment was centered around Fresh & Soph you would think a new coach would have to see those Freshman vs those Sophomores against the Sr's and Jr's. Most notably in skill specific positions (F/O Goalie LSM Lefty Attack) but I think preseason takes care of that.
I also think it depends on a school, the top 5 or so schools per division east or West of 110 know who they have and who is coming in.
That said, any surprises of Freshman making Varsity over Soph (who will remain on JV) or any Fresh Sophs jumping the pecking order on the depth charts so far

ok so a coach has seen players during preseason play and has some knowledge of who is coming in. What about the evaluation of skill specific players. Does this take more time and drills that are done to put those players head to head in similar situations. Faceoff guys I think are easy. Head to head see who wins then game play. I think lefty attack and goalie are a bit more difficult. Unless there are specific drills set up and coaches watching just those players how would they be able to asses a goalie or a lefty attackman. If they played full field live games and put the players in to face same teams that would make more sense.

The top teams have coaches who are well aware of which rising players are coming their way. These guys have the players on their radar months even a season before tryouts. Come on let's be real. Pre season, winter practicing, the players on the bubble whether they are freshman or sophs- coaches have a very good idea who they are looking for and if a player is ready- waaaayyyy before tryouts begin.
The Hill Academy is 4-0 this week in Baltimore. They look unbeatable.

You see when you constantly play down, you crumble when you have to play on age competition. Same reason UVA, Hop and UNC are not dominating anymore. Many of their recruits are not panning out for this same reason.

Sorry but I have to challenge your logic here. The MIAA teams play against each other all season so they are not playing down at all, they are playing other teams that have holdbacks, reclasses and PGs so I dont understand where your constantly playing down comment comes from. If youre talking about club ball then your statement makes more sense but lets be honest, the MIAA is one of the toughest lacrosse conferences in the country. I think in this case The Hill Academy just happens to have an exceptional team this year and they are destroying everyone.
As for UVA, Hop and UNC, IMO UNC and UVA have serious coaching concerns, and HOP went to the final four last year and came within a buttend save of going to the championship game. I am not a fan of early recruiting but I think there is more at work with some of the bigger programs than just early recruiting. Come this May its a good bet that the final four will be represented by the usual suspects.

The MIAA has been won by a Catholic school 3 of the past 4 years and 5 of the past 10. Please don't lump Calvert Hall, Loyola and St Marys in with BL, Gilman and McDonogh in terms of holdbacks. Those schools encourage re-classing, the Catholic schools don't. They may have a few kids who are older due to academic issues earlier in life or a few who did pre-first but it is not the norm. Calvert Hall and Loyola also have players on the U-19 team who are freshman in college, so on age. When you play the Hill Academy you understand who they are. Many Post grads. Also, at this point in their lives 18 vs 19 really isn't that big of a deal.

Scrimmages are not an accurate indicator of success in the season. It's a chance for coaches to evaluate the whole team, and for the boys to shake the rust off! Syosset will be just fine

I am trying to find out where the standings are and win loss records from the scrimmages
Last I checked Syo and all the other Long Island schools are 0-0
Also do the give reward for being the best team in June or in March
Enjoy the process

Way to rationalize it... The team that scored more goals was doing the exact same thing... Eat crow obnoxious Syosset inhabitant...GO Pequa. Go Port.

Just FYI - according to what I've read elsewhere, Hill has a player on the roster who had been on the Fall roster at Colgate (yes, that D1 Patriot League college program). I don't think I've ever seen anything like that in any sport but then again I don't follow other sports all that closely. Regardless, it appears to me to break new ground in the "anything goes" wild west of HS lax.
It was 4 to 3 Friars. Not sure how GC won the game? Friars defense looks to be very strong. It wasn't a true reflection anyway. At halftime they were doing drills. Have to say anyone in GC's Publuc school conference will be going against a very formidable opponent. Have a great season!
Yes, but we beat Chaminade in a scrimmage last year...

Oh this is enjoyable. Nobody cares about scrimmages except Syosset parents. They couldn't stop RAVING all year last year about how they beat another high school in a preseason scrimmage. Just keeping it real, man.
Aren't scrimmages supposed to get your team ready for a strong season? Any good coach will knowingly put their team up against another strong team to make them better. These scrimmages that are blow outs prove nothing,except ego boosters to their folks.
You both played your best kids in first quarter,thats a fact.

Exactly. I think Syosset parents have learned their lesson now.
The visiting parents at the Chaminade scrimmage were absolutely embarrassing. cheering like it was a real game. please...take a page from the hosts classy behavior
What we learned is at the end of the year syosset played in state semis while everyone else was home Time to talk is at the end of the year
Only the best teams will be talking then
Dreamers can talk now
Enjoy your preseason wins while you can
If you are standing at top at the end of the season then you can chirp and will say congrats your kids deserved it

Did you ever stop and think for just one moment? Hmmmm... Maybe this type of condescending self righteous attitude, is exactly why so many people just can't stand Chaminade parents? Is it possible that the visiting parents cheered extra loud just to get your private school parent panties in a bunch? Seems like it worked. You do realize that just about any LI parent involved in Lacrosse can afford to send their kid to a $10k a year school. Right? It's not like it's Episcopal in PA for $40k a year. Take your I'm better than you attitude down just a notch... You'll feel better, and you won't be offended by people cheering at sporting event.

Against Syosset.
No genius because the Chaminade /syosset scrimmage was last year and Chaminade never "hosts". It's always held at Cantiague Park because 4-5 other teams are always involved in an all day 4-5 way scrimmage that the Syosset coach organizes. As a matter of fact this years scrimmage is today. Original poster is talking about a recent scrimmage and a different team. Would be nice if they would clarify what team they are talking about since they are making such a big deal out of it.

4 teams at CSH today. Massapequa beat CSH 9-6, and Long beach by a big shut out and then beat a strong West islip team 8-6 approximately.
It was 6 t 2 with starters in against WI,
It sounds to me like the parents compete more then the boys Big question here Did the boys all have fun

SW dominated this game until the 4th quarter and just couldn't hold it. Good start for the Bulls.

Very true.... I could not believe some of them. First off this is Varsity lacrosse not PAL, second there was no reason for it and did not hear it from the home crowd!
Did you ever stop and think for just one moment? Hmmmm... Maybe this type of condescending self righteous attitude, is exactly why so many people just can't stand Chaminade parents? Is it possible that the visiting parents cheered extra loud just to get your private school parent panties in a bunch? Seems like it worked. You do realize that just about any LI parent involved in Lacrosse can afford to send their kid to a $10k a year school. Right? It's not like it's Episcopal in PA for $40k a year. Take your I'm better than you attitude down just a notch... You'll feel better, and you won't be offended by people cheering at sporting event.
You do realize that not every child has the academic strength to get into Chaminade, Right?
You also realize what you can do with your $10k, Right.
How about you just enjoy the lax game and the talented kids playing it and keep the cheering positive.

"by height"
Called game film. Have to see what kids can do in the heat of battle. Some who played in scrimmages will never see the field when it counts. Scores are meaningless.

Yes. the boys had fun. Went for ralphs italian ices after and all the boys received a participation ribbon for playing. Parents had fun too. Drank and disparaged kids on the other teams and their own team. Another fine day. Thanks for asking.
I heard St Anthony's went up to Westchester for a scrimmage against some Section 1 teams - how did they do?
Please every team plays there top players first half.

Did your son get accepted to Regis? NO he did not!!! I guess he didn't have the academic strength... Have a wonderful day.

People can only annoy you if you let them. But I do agree that the parents on the opposing teams who have scrimmaged Chaminade so far this year were definitely more boisterous and louder than the Chaminade parents.

You have to understand that the teams playing Chammy is their biggest game of year......even a scrimmage. They want to go to work and tell their co-workers/friends that "we beat Chammy". You hear "my son got in game" and various other "we" statements. For a top team like Chammy its just another mid level team to use to get ready for season. Most of us Chammy parents are smoking a Cuban cigar and having a johnny walker blue
Don't be an [lacrosse]........

This really can't be a "Chammy" parent? If you really are, you sound like a huge tool! Do you really think anyone is so impressed with "Chammy" or your future pretentious Tool bag offspring? Teach your kid to be humble, it goes a long way in life! BTW Johnny Walker Blue is way over rated!!!
would think that was a "non" Chaminade making that comment....just to get the crowd fired-up

no one cares about chaminade and your problems with the program. keep the conversation around the H.S. programs and not just Chammy and their haters
THAT TOOL BAG COULDN'T TELL JOHNNY WALKER BLUE FROM BOONE'S FARM APPLE WINE
Now we know your over 50 , lol
NOT QUITE ....I HAVE A FEW MORE YRS ON THE FRONT NINE

Put the red cup down, hop in your pick up and go take out my garbage.
Thanks
St. Anthony's won the second 2 games somersault and broxville. The team is really coming together and looked strong.

A shame - you missed a great opportunity to mention something about a shinebox.
I agree that they beat somersault but handstand and backflip gave them fits.
Reality is is that the guy is probably retired at 50, collecting a fat pension from the teachers or police/fire union contracts. He's playing golf three days a week and fishing on the others. If not he owns his own business, makes his own hours and writes off every dollar he spends as a business expense.
And you open the WSJ every day to learn 7% off your company is gonna be laid off. Off course you drink more scotch than you should.

Australian walkabout team was stacked.
When was the last time Sayville lost to Connetquot? We ALWAYS beat Connetquot.
Does the new guy have a short leash? One crappy season perhaps?
I'm so very glad a few malcontents got their way and our dedicated coach was not retained. I'll make sure to tell you how happy I am for the change at the next street fair. You know who you are and so do I. You screwed our kids because you wanted to get your way.

GC always solid. Maybe not the team they were 3 or 4 years ago but see them on top of the conference as always.
Nassau b conference looks a little different this year. Realignment?
Not taking anything away from the first team st ants scrimmaged,but they got off to a slow start.... The last 2 scrimmages St Ants was an entirely pulled together team. All in all a great day playing against some very good competition and a crowd that enjoyed the games. It's so refreshing to see parents co mingling and praising each other's kids. This is the way we do it!

You know not who you're talking to. I'm not from the town that scrimmaged your son's team, if that's what your condescending, class shaming retort was referring to? Never drank from a red cup at any lax function in my life. No pick up here either, I only drive German. Please keep posting though, you continue to prove my point about the kind people you Chaminade parents really are.

No, because of the video on Twitter showing the end of the game and them running out on the field like they just won the NCAA Championship.

Saw the end of the game in person. They ran on the field to their goalie like every other team does at the end of the game . Nothing more or less. No drama at all. Respectful game from what I could see . I thought both teams looked good. Saw Manhasset coaching crew there scouting . I believe they will be playing both teams in near future (Syosset in a tournament ). Wasn't under the impression this was that big a game for Syosset . They have beaten GC the last few years, no?
Dear Charlie and fellow members of the NCLOA,
I am very sorry to bother all of you with this. However, I just felt the need to do something and try and lend a hand.
This past Friday, on March 18, 2016, one of my current students and former lacrosse player at Copiague High School was tragically shot and killed by his friend. Supposedly the death was deemed an accident. Charlie, as you know, I was a Varsity Lacrosse Coach at Copiague High School for 13 years and I still currently teach there. The community is multi-cultural and the lacrosse players there do not have the backing and support as most high school players across Long Island. The boy`s mother was a single mother and he was her only child. She would come and visit me every Parent/Teacher Night to make sure her young boy was doing the "right thing."
Unfortunately, the mother does not have enough money to bury her son and a "go fund me" page was developed to help her pay for the funeral services.
Any help the Association can do or if any of you would like to donate even just a little, it would be much appreciated in the small town of Copiague.
Please even just click on the following page and see him and his mom. https://dm2.gofund.me/xbv9bkwk
Thanks guys, and remember to hug your loved ones today. Life is too short!
Best,
Kenny Berry
Proud member of the NCLOA

GC boys athletics not the dominate force over the last 3-4 years. I guess its cyclical or could it be the newer staff's are not as good as TF and Doc D?

Have you ever watched lacrosse? At all levels, the winning team usually runs on the field cheering.

New coach, new players and a new offense. Things take time. No one is getting screwed. Connetquot is stacked. If Danowski was coaching they would still have lost. In two years when Connetquots studs are gone, it will shift. It has very little to do with the HS coach these days and more to do with the players' travel club coaches.

is the football player still playing lax?
Yes, we have our full squad.
I still carry a lot of anger for the decision makers and those who stoked the fires of change. But, that won't help the team going forward. Coach Doller is not coming back, we have to move on as he has. Don't blame every loss on new coach, that's not productive or fair. If you value the impact Coach Doller had on the program and the kids, continue to support Sayville lacrosse.
Connetquot is a VERY good team that will challenge to win A This year

New coach, new players and a new offense. Things take time. No one is getting screwed. Connetquot is stacked. If Danowski was coaching they would still have lost. In two years when Connetquots studs are gone, it will shift. It has very little to do with the HS coach these days and more to do with the players' travel club coaches.
Very much on point with the last comment
Syosset with a convincing win over GC.

Stop your peacocking it's a long season and GC was pretty (soft) and not that good. The D as well as the entire team needs a great deal of work to compete against the more competitive and physical teams.
Islip almost beat Connetquot today.
Final was Connetquot 8 - Islip 6
Islip took their goalie out so last goal doesn t count. What happened to Connetquot? JV got beat up by Islip as well.

I was not at the game but will make an assumption here. Islip has a very good faceoff guy , if he won the majority the cquot D is not as strong as there O. Cquot offensive is great but if a team can control the ball and have more offensive position they could be in trouble. Just guessing here.
Islip all around played well. Cquot had trouble getting their act together.
Mt Sinia lost to whitman - are they down?
Question what was GC football's record last year? Question what was GC Lacrosse record last year? Question what was GC baseball's record last year? And let's just throw BB in there too. Look it up and get back to me.

Who cares?
GC Boys Athletics Records last year:
Football 9-1 lost in playoffs
Lacrosse: Lost in Semi Finals
Baseball: lost in 1st round
Basketball: lost in quarter finals
Sounds like a REALLY bad season for all considered.

ZERO Championships
Graduated 15 kids. Still have talent. Whitman Goalie had 20 saves!
well I think the guy who said Garden City sports have been on the downside for the last 3-4 years does.
Last goal didn't count. Fantastic.
To be fair, Connetquot couldn't get rolling, but won ugly in the end. 8-6.
They beat Sayville and Syosset (scrimmage) easily, but had a tough time against a good Islip team.

Fair enough.
Connetquot is NO powerhouse! They wI'll be put first round of playoffs. Their record last year was bc they played a very weak schedule, they were in leagues.
Sayville will struggle and yes it will be bc they have a new coaches, new offense, weak defense. The new staff just doesn't have a winning mentally. X and O are just half the battle.

or the parity in lacrosse - as you see on the division 1 level every day now
Connetquot is trash can barely even cradle
How is Sachem North this year?

Especially regarding Garden City.
GC lost again today. Like I said earlier could be starting season 0-5 before getting first win. Offense is pathetic. Someone needs to tell coach when you are losing and there is only 6 min left in the game you need to go to the cage not work the ball around 5 times before getting a shot. But then again he doesn't have the talent like in the past so he actually has to do some coaching. Going to be a long 3 years in GC before things turn around. Nothing in the pipeline.

GC will be just fine, but thanks for caring. And the pipeline is pretty strong as well. The JV is 2-0 and blew out SW today at their place.
That was not the case with Sayville.the varsity coach had them playing together with an in house program for the past 5 years. Sayville varsity record the past 5 years speaks for itself

16 saves by SW goalie sounds like GC was doing just fine on offense. Sounds like a disgruntled smoldering parent that never played himself with a kid on the bench.

I can be called a d-head at times, but my team is definitely not the loser. Just saying what I saw, probably one of the worst ref jobs ever. Where should I start.... not calling cross checks to neck, placing ball in opposing teams head at f/o, not that it mattered, refs were clearly looking for Pequa to win. Glad the better team did!

At what point do people admit that GC34 is an abject failure?
My kid graduated already and we decided to catch the game.
Lets just leave it at 0-2 and lets see what happens next game. We will take it one loss at a time. What was with the meeting at the end of the first on the field with the refs. Was Coach F reminding them who he is and what town they were in.
He will be doing a lot of crying to refs for a long time

Nice try about the JV game comment. Sad state is JV game didn't mean much(5)or so SW freshman on Varsity. SW WM Pequa the strongest Pipeline.
Did they?

Don't even try to defend that program. It is an embarrassment. You think it is bad now? Just wait....

For having a kid that graduated already, why do you care so much? You are full of it. Your kid just isn't seeing the field and you are bitter and angry. Over the long haul, GC lax will be just fine. That being said, the drain to Chaminade has certain implications on the field the magnitude of which few other schools have to deal with.

So lets blame Chaminade for losing. Typical GC parent blaming everyone else and making excuses. Well if Duke ND and Denver didn't get all the good recruits other Colleges would win too.
Just admit they are not good and teach them how to deal with it because it will be a long time before they have any real talent coming up. Thats what happens when deals are made behind closed doors at some point it all catches up to you . Unfortunately you have a coach that would rather yell and scream at the refs all game then coach. 0-2 and heading towards 0-5

I am not sure this is a current players family, it could absolutely be an alumni's family or a current resident that chose elsewhere (do to issues). But to say other schools do not feel the same drain your are delusional.
Great game...clearly both teams are offensive powerhouses...SE Fogo just absolutely incredible...SE offense just kept coming...starting 6+ fogo:
Penn State
Penn State
Yale
JHU
Towson
Ohio State
Fairfield
Don't agree it was a payback as Mass won when it truly counted. This was NL. Let's see if SE can keep it rolling through LIC and States no easy chore.

I'm not the person to whom you're responding, but Garden City certainly does feel the largest "drain" to Chaminade. Other towns are certainly affected (Manhasset, Rockville Center, etc.), but it'd be tough to argue that any other program has lost more good players to Chaminade over the years than GC has.

Pray tell, exactly what "deals behind closed doors" are being made by the GC lacrosse Super Pac?
Yes agreed GC loses its share of kids to Chaminade but how many are lax players. 4-5 are on Varsity team now tops and of those who are seeing the field 1 -2. But how many towns have the system in place that GC has starting at 6-7 yr olds. How many leave GC because of other factors like not getting a fair chance to play because of their last name. I heard it is so bad one kid actually is at St Anthonys. If you are willing to travel to St Anthonys from GC every day it must have been bad.
I guess time will tell. the season will go on. If they keep losing this blog will get real interesting.

We made a huge mistake sending our son to Chaminade. Can anyone tell us the rules for transferring to another private school or back to public. I heard he might have to sit out a year. Is this true?
If you made a "huge mistake" then your son belongs in public school not another private. Then you would be making another "huge mistake". Obviously by huge you mean you thought your son was good enough to play sports there. Most parents know the work load before they send their kids and hope the sports side works out.
Or you are just making the whole story up which is the way I am leaning
Or you are just making the whole story up which is the way I am leaning
Come on you never heard of the Anti Chaminade meetings at people homes before decisions are made. Promises that little Johnny will be brought up to Varsity if he stays at GC fully aware that once the school year starts the kid is stuck because you can not transfer into Chaminade. Coaches telling the parents how important their kid is to the program. That is why the other kid is at ST Anthonys.
Quick question, If you have a kid in GC and you don;t send him to the Coaches winter "optional" workouts at the center and you want to use your own personal guy and you play for another summer team in 7th 8th 9th grade what are the chances you will even make the team in GC and if you are from GC you will know exactly what I am talking about. Also what is the cost of these programs and who is running them. Maverick my -ss

He is good enough. But we know how "politics" plays into everything in life. Choose your club team wisely.

Many families send their sons to Chaminade and St. Anythony's for reason other than athletic playing time. If the kid is going to St. Anthony's it has nothing to do with lacrosse or another sport - it must have to be the academics. Nobody in their right mind would schlep that far for lacrosse.

Please back up your fact comment. With stats why what are your facts
Are you kidding me. There is only 2 reasons to go to St Anthonys and they are you live close by or you were recruited to play a sport. You do not go to St Anthonys for academics. Just look at the Building. When the Under Armour sign is bigger than the school name it tells you they are not about the academics
FACT??? Really? I'd like to see your info on that to back up your ridiculous statement!

Practically every kid attending has to watch you tube to learn on their own, or hire a public school tutor who actually can teach the curriculum! Scary!
Another blanket statement with No factual information. Your opinion on why kids attend St Ant's is just that. Your opinion.
No one cares.....
My son is academically and athletically talented,does not live close to St Ant's and is having a great experience at St Ant's.
BTW,was also accepted into Chaminade as well as another private Catholic

Haha, keep pretending! Trust me, education sub par. Teachers working there could not get jobs in public, so they took what they could for 1/2 pay. FACT!

Or you are just making the whole story up which is the way I am leaning

He is good enough. But we know how "politics" plays into everything in life. Choose your club team wisely.
There are plenty of non-Express kids on the Chaminade varsity. Maybe it wasn't your son's club choice.
I should care what you think? I have the proof I need. It's all good.
Have a good night

Where can I find the average SAT scores of St Anthnys and Chaminade? How do they compare to Manhasset or GC?
All you need to look at is where EVERY kid in the senior class goes after graduation especially look at where every kid goes from the lax team. EVEN THOSE WHO DON'T SEE MUCH PLAYING TIME.
Not saying there may not be smart kids at St. A's but the school is horrendous. You go there for sports or if you are in a less (far) than stellar district or if its the closest Catholic education and that is important to you--for any other reason you have made a relative mistake or are misinformed.
Ok ok enough . If your kid has the smarts I think St. Anthony's no difference in education than say Ward Melville , Smithtown , Sachem just say. Getting off topic lets talk about LAX not what school has better academics please ..

Manhasset is likely higher than the other three.
Are there any games today?

You are mentally disturbed, FACT. My niece is an ND grad with honors, went to St. A's and chooses to teach there. Please, just stop already. BTW my son goes to public school, a very highly rated one. Many of the teachers there are tenured, lazy, union malcontents... That my friend is a FACT!

If the teaching is so great, why do half the kids have to hire public school tutors? I'm sure there are a few good teachers there, but the fact is most were not hired at publics, so this was the best they could do. Would rather my son go to a school where the teachers are certified. Sports are good there, academics, not so much. If so, they would have a decent amount of AP scholars, or an IB program, or a kid that places in a nationally recognized academic contest. These rarely, or never happen at ST. A, but do a regular basis at the better publics. Dem be da FACTS! St. A lax will not beat any of the better publics this year, and will loose badly to Cham, so why bother?
Wow its true lacrosse really is rought with pompass a##%holes, now I undersand.
GC may have a few tough years ahead. Given their strength over the last decade everyone wants to pounce on them for a bad couple of years. I give them credit. No matter their talent level, good or bad, they always play a tough schedule and don't duck anyone. They always play some really good teams out of conference. Rather than sit back with an easy schedule and breeze through with padded stats and record they take their lumps but they get better as the season progresses.

I guess time will tell. the season will go on. If they keep losing this blog will get real interesting.

Many families send their sons to Chaminade and St. Anythony's for reason other than athletic playing time. If the kid is going to St. Anthony's it has nothing to do with lacrosse or another sport - it must have to be the academics. Nobody in their right mind would schlep that far for lacrosse.
St. Anthony's is not a good academic school. FACT!
days me LOL

Exactly! Don't forget the affluent boosters that give mega bucks to athletics, merely because they drove past the school.

Why the interest in the Catholic schools.. If your son is good enough to play in college they will get noticed . You don't need to play in the Catholic league. It's a two team league and the rest of the teams just fill out the schedule. Some parents know their kids would struggle being the big fish in the small pond so they go to the top Catholic school teams to get the help their kids need. Some kids have the ability to lead on their own others need to be guided. Not a bad thing. Just need to know your own kid
My kid goes to WM and plays lax and we are happy with our choice. Good school and generally competitive athletics. We didn't choose to live in the district because WM had a strong lax program, we chose because we liked the house, the neighborhood and the education the district provided...
We know people within the district that send their kids to chammy and St As...the families we know that have made this decision did so for may reasons, but mostly because they wanted the religious education and chose between the two based upon many factors including the commute their kids would make to and from. From what we have heard, both are excellent catholic schools with excellent academics and also happen to have strong athletic teams.
For the life of me I cannot understand why any of you need to insult either St A or chammy. If you are happy with your school (again, we are happy with WM) why would you need to put down another school or claim that academics aren't good? As far as strength of schedule for lax, both chammy and St A go out of their way to play tough competition out of league. In fact, I would argue-as a WM parent-that chammy has perhaps the toughest schedule around. They make a point to play all the top publics and many top baltimore privates.
Why do you care enough to come on here and put down either school? You really need to look in the mirror and figure out what in your life is so bad that you need to come on this lax site and talk about the academic quality of either school...
Also will say, we went to watch the chammy/WI game last saturday since WM plays both shortly. Parents of both teams were of course cheering and of course would complain about this call or that call, but in general, very respectful. Not any obnoxious people...well done parents.
for the St A people, i suggest you just ignore the obnoxious poster, as soon as he/she realizes you cant be bothered responding to stupid rants, the foolishness will stop...

Thank you. Excellent post. Also, thank you WM for sending the best players to come out of your town in the past 10 years to St. A's (boys and girls) and a girls coach. Enough with the venom, if you don;t want to send your kid to a catholic school don't send them.

Best Players? ..... Did you forget that WM was rated best team in the country 3 years ago, and more recently produced two of the top recuits, All Americans Buccaro Bruckner?
If GC played a soft non-conference schedule like most teams. would you think they were great? Say what you will, but it's undeniable that they don't hide and are competitive in every game regardless of the roster. They won back-to-back state titles as recent as 2012-2013. It's impossible to win championships every year in any sport (Yanks, last World Series 2009?) As far as the 'pipeline' is concerned, their JV team hasn't been able to find a team that can come within 10 goals of them. You are terribly misinformed. It may be a bit premature to call for the demise of GC lacrosse.

But then again he doesn't have the talent like in the past so he actually has to do some coaching. Going to be a long 3 years in GC before things turn around. Nothing in the pipeline.

GC will be competitive in their conference because of the tough games they play out of it. I could name a few teams that play a weak schedule just so the do nothing coach can pad his wins. I guess they think no one sees what they are doing. The real shame is the team does not improve and the result is usually one and done in the playoffs. The idea is to make the players better to get them playoff ready. GC is one that at least gives their players the best shot.
GC won back to back titles before they quietly encouraged parents drink the GC 34 kool aid. Those State Champ teams were loaded with players who played for very good club teams from FCA to Express, fl$, Outlaws etc.
go play for a club team then...Coach will play the best kids..all coaches will...Do you think they want to lose? You are a moron...Stay off this site please

Please clarify "GC 34"
And what team is next for GC?
why do you care abt GC34 if you are not involved...You are like a toddler wanting to know what someone else is talking about....Go away...
This is an open public discussion isn't it? Is it a secret? Not looking for trouble at all. You seem very defensive so i have to assume the GC34 thing is an embarrassment to you. Never mind. Move on to something else.
its the lesser copycat program / effort of Manhasset 32. Trying to keep up with the Jones'...
It's really about money and control!!!!!
You are all still very vague. No idea what GC 34 is or Manhassett 32.
Thir "town only" year round travel programs. the numbers are in honor of past residents/players. 32 does a better job of leeting the kids playu outside and together. GC's is stricter in term of play town only or you are out... as a result they lose a few of their better players each year.
The only way the "lets have all the good local players play travel together full time" thing works is if it happens organically. Meaning that it starts out from genuine and original interest from the boys and the families. It isn't likely to work if it starts from the top and is sort of forced on the community.
In many respects, having the kids play at different places can benefit the HS program. Kids learn from different coaches and teammates, and can stay happy and motivated. Also allows different kids to get more reps in some situations, instead of sharing time with future teammates.

That is embarrassing, now I know why you didn't want to elaborate. Just add it to the list of overall embarrassment I guess.

Town travel teams. What rock do you live under?
Yes it is. You have to play for town team or else. Unless you are that good he NEEDS YOU not the other way around. In other words you have to line his pockets. Shame because it also allows so called coaches to tell your kids what position they should play when they are 8 and are stuck in that position for the rest of their time in GC. If he wasnt in it for the money then he would be honest with some of the kids and tell them they will not make the team before taking all that money in the winter from the parents and then cutting the kid. YES GC has cuts. I blame the parents for allowing it. Maybe losing a few games will wake them up. Playing a tough out of conference doesnt always make you better but will get you hurt. Lets see
Some great game on the docket for today

If he wasnt in it for the money then he would be honest with some of the kids and tell them they will not make the team before taking all that money in the winter from the parents and then cutting the kid. YES GC has cuts. I blame the parents for allowing it. Maybe losing a few games will wake them up. Playing a tough out of conference doesnt always make you better but will get you hurt. Lets see
Why so bitter? Did things not work out for your son as planned?

I think Calvert Hall scheduled the wrong Hills team. 19-3 ?, way to represent Section 11. I think Brentwood would have played it closer.
Hahah. I guess it isn't 91.

Suffolk A! Toughest league in the country.
The 8th grade early recruit (commit) had 6 & 4 in his first High School Game.
10 points in his first ever varsity start. Could you imagine what he would do against lesser competition.
He plays in Suffolk A, the toughest league out there.
His 8th grade club team would beat many of the teams in the league.

North Bab is hardly top competition. His travel team plays tougher competition. Will be fun to watch Bay Shore play WM, Quot, WI, and the Stowns. Those are the tough ones!

C'mon man. It was against Longwood. They recruit half the team out of gym class. He is obviously good player, but putting up 12 points on Copaigue isn't something too brag about.
Minor note, but thta was his second game and he netted a few in the first game as well.
Worked out great for my kid. He did not play for GC and is at the college he wants to be at and playing ball. All good.
Like all towns certain people take control but in GC it is at a whole other level. But ask yourself why a few years ago when they started their Town travel A teams was it run by Maverick. Was it so the money did not go directly to certain people. Then when they realized the amount of money that could be made they made changes and called it GC 34. Very original considering Manhasset 32.

Is CHS strong, or Syosset weak? surprising upset.

Don't view CSH Syosset outcome as an upset. They always play tight games. Both are supposed to be very good this year. Time will tell...
Is HHHW that bad this year? That was a beating by a midlevel Baltimore school?

To be fair, Calvert Hall is a very good team. Extremely deep roster full of D1 commits. Not a good showing by HHW though.....
He's very good. I've seen him play for years. He's always been bigger than all the other kids his age. I get this early commit thing here. He played on national TV with Spallina's Orange Crush team. Tambroni isn't exactly taking a flyer here. He will be just like the other Irish Penn State commit from Syosset. But please stop with the Suffolk A talk. N. Babylon. William Floyd. Copiague. Brentwood. Lindenhurst. Longwood. Pat Med. Hardly Suffolk County lacrosse royalty. 6 and 4 against N. Babylon? He's going to be a star. But let's keep some perspective here.

Agreed - CSH is IL NIKE #10 Regionally and #24 Nationally (both should be higher next week) so I do not think that they can "upset" anybody, they are very good
Didn't HHHW bring in a new head coach.

Totally agree with most of this, but lets not degrade Suffolk A either. The top half of Suffolk A is as competitive as it gets.
Syosset has gone 4-7 vs. CSH since 2005. You can ignore the A-B-C distinction amongst nassau's best teams... surprisingly irrelevant in terms of outcome

Certainly can't determine that from the CSH game. It was a one goal game the entire time . Wasn't final score 11-10? Could have gone either way . Last night saw two completely evenly matched teams with a lot of penalties being taken
What's was the score of the game?

Is it not the same guy ? Head Coach T.R., last year was N.H.who was there for years. Well he is nominally the head coach but maybe not running the team.

it was said earlier before the games started you can break the league down into 1/3rds. Top 1/3rd lights out (starters to bench through JV). Middle third lacks depth needs to pull up players. Bottom third gets kids from gym class with a few exceptions.
Syosset Rudes, not Braves... Home of the gimmie, I'll take and never a please or a thank you. How about takin a little piece of humble pie...losing to a little boarder line private school...
Laughing at what the Syo parents must be feeling.
I bet they were totally respectful and perfect ladies and gentlemen especially in a close game with penalties.
yeesh!

Thanks GC dad for the schedule. Heck of a schedule is right 0-3 after today 0-4 after weekend

hey chuck wagon I don't have a kid at GC, Ive been listing games I thought are good or SMH at for about two years now. I add some commentary every once in a while. I don't discriminate I think I tell it like it is. Sorry if you don't like it.
now for facts, yes they will probably be 0-4 but tested and that will help come league. som,etimes you worry about national ranking sometimes you think about states other times you just need to get through league and LI.
Heck never thought Smith West would only beat Huntingtopn by 1. you never know that is why you play the games!

Fine give schedule. no need to tell us GC has tough schedule. 0-3 Like i said lost today. I guess now they are ready for the sisters of the blind in the league schedule they play. Lets see how much they run up the scores in those games for stat time so they can say how good they are.

Obama is doing the cha-cha dance with various communists. Can we talk about that???
All close games vs 'A' class big schools. Not a lot of teams have the balls to play that schedule. Get a life, Loser.

Played GC today, very good team, just a boring game to watch when they have the ball.
Feel like I am talking to Ted Cruz. You lose the game come in second and say you won because it was close. You lost period there is no but. Except for GC parents because it is always someone else's fault. What is the excuse for yesterday ?
GC good enough to lose. Don't have they playmakers from 4-5 years ago. that's ok. trophies for all, right??? Bernie?
Nice, True don't see any 8th graders brought up to Varsity (maybe though) so pipeline is not what is use to be. Only a matter of time before you start hearing the yelling from parents. Watch now we will be told they could not work out a good deal so the good 8th graders went to privates
Bob Barker???

TR saw some writing on the wall at SYO.
Good for him and his kids to go another direction.
Team / parent dynamic will be a sump this year.
Will be horrific to be on the sidelines watching the parents.
Or maybe the beginnings of a new reality TV show on Spike- Real Lax Parents of Syosset.

We already got a taste of the Syosset parent nightmare behavior preseason. They were screaming, yelling, complaining, whining, and were just plain obnoxious. This was at a scrimmage. A silly scrimmage. Just....yuck. How embarrassing for the parents who actually know how to behave from that town. You people have your hands full.

You joke, but we don't hear you denying it. The rumors are out that the parents want JC gone, they're sick of his BS. How do you have a winning season when the coach, players and parents are divided? fight amongst yourselves but stop acting like thugs at games.

EVERYONE, NO KIDS MENTIONED ANYMORE!!! FIRST AND LAST WARNING.
I read the previous posts and the reference to his kids was not a bad one. I would prefer that the kids not be brought up at all in this particular conversation.
You talking about the BS about winning the Long Island Championship? Or the BS that SYO 4 game win in scrimmage two weeks ago? Maybe you are talking about the BS that JC has created the best program in Nassau County - so good in fact that the coach from Pequa went to SYO. You can bash them, you can make up whatever you want. 3 parents who think there kid needs more playing time is not "all the parents" looking to get rid of JC. And just because a previous SYO coach has a beef with JC and trying to create rumors and get him fired, doesn't mean parents want him out. Good luck this season wherever you are - if you're playing SYO, you will need it!
Teddy Roosevelt is from Syosett??? Who knew......

If it's an opinion on a kid you are correct . Kids should not be judged but if it is a fact about what team a kid plays for, where is the fault. Did you moderate when someone asked about USA kid when inquiring about Syosset. Be even handed in this and don't cave to the crybabies and carpetbaggers.

Are you joking. I am not the only moderator but I always try and protect the kids. Look up my posts. I can not review every post on here. I do my best and if you think I am picking and choosing you are 100% incorrect. I read the posts saw they were not saying anything bad about the kids and I did mention that. I also said keep the kids out of it.

actually thats god awful but a tension breaker nonetheless......
I'm not sure who's posting this misguided information about JC. Could it be parents of kids not playing? Having 2 sons go through this program, I've might not have seen eye to eye with the coaching staff, but both of them did just fine. You see lacrosse is only part of your kid's future! Shouldn't education be very important. As far as the coaching staff goes they are united not divide!

This is what your player faces in college lacrosse! If you think JC is tough then college lacrosse is not for them!
Lastly, fans are the same no matter where you! They hate the refs if they are losing and they blame the coaching staff if their team loses! 😉

The problem in Syosset is not the NCAA or the program or the coaches but the helicopter parents. When the coaches can't appreciate how great there kid is then they will do all they can to find a coach who can
Might even mean finding another new school or change the club again
Unfortunately while these parents can't grasp reality the other kids get wind of what is happening and don't respond to kindly to people who try to divide their team
A few people in denial though will not be able to ruin a strong program

head coach st Syosset reminds me of a more famous JC, he turns parents into wine(ers)

was there a point somewhere in this unintelligible mess of a rant?
Why does everyone hate early recruiting?
It is not as bad as it seems.
Keeps coaches honest-High school-
Believe me High school coaches have all the power. In most towns you can not even state opinion without it effecting your sons playing time.
Why do you think high school coaches hate early recruiting-because they loose some of that power.
If a kid is an early recruit to a top 20 team- there is a reason for if-He is a good lacrosse player.
Everyone is saying early recruiting does not help out teams- Helped BU- early recruiting got them in top 20 in third season.
What is best for players and family is have playing field as even as possible. Early recruiting is helping that.
Perennial powers now have to compete for players -how is that a bad ting?
There will always be corruption- not all high school teams play the best players- there are friends, political connects etc. If you do not belive that then you are a fool.
It is not as bad as it seems.

Agree. Also, thank god there is a club circuit for the top players. Most of the HS Teams are weak. Yes, even in the Mighty Suffolk A Division the level of play is extremely poor. 9th and 10th graders all over the place. Coaching is weak and pace of play is very slow in most games. Make the conference smaller and allow for more non league games. The top two or three teams in each league a significantly stronger than all others. It is the same story every year.
How does the Nassau Girls Power Conference work? Could a boys power conference work?
Just a note to add, the Pequa coach went to Syosset because they pay better. Had nothing to do with coaching a "winner" had to do with coaching for $$. And he is a fantastic guy who every Massapequa kid loves. Big loss, but he went for money, which is just fine with everyone but Bernie Sanders supporters!!

Kids that verbally commit in 9th and 10th grade love early committing as do their parents, kids that are not recruited in 9th and 10th grade hate it. As far as HS coaches hating it that is more complicated, a top public school team used to have at most 4-5 D1 commits mostly 12th graders with fewer 11th. graders, now a top public team might have 10 - 12 and that is a big number to work with . Do you keep a 9th grade D1 commit on JV? Do you not play them? and the 10th grader who is not verbally committed and not on varsity thinks their lacrosse career is over (IT IS NOT) - so IMHO earlier recruiting is all good for the kids, not so great for the HS coaches that have to deal with it.
Believe me I'm not a fool! BU is one in sixty some odd D1 schools. Starting out is great for them because they have 121/2 scholarships to be had. As time goes on their will be less scholarship money for them to give because of the existing team AND it is a great ACADEMIC school which is appealing. Second, college coaches recruit every year are you saying they should be playing everyone equally? There are thousands of kids committing early how many of them to you hear are making an impact right away or even getting playing time at all? Just because your recruited doesn't mean your one of the top players on your high school team. Let your kid know life isn't fair early on and they will be fine in college

If you can not get 12 d1 commits on the field with significant playing time you should not be coaching. If you have 12 d1 commits, you should be able to get 18 players significant playing time even in tight games
I have seen D1 schools play 18-19 players in tight games.
Every coach should have the problem of too many d1 commits.
Problem is high school coaches choose starters and then act like the starter is 10 better than player right under him. Which may be the case- but definitely not all the time- a lot of times there is not much difference.

There's a difference between being tough and dishonest. Lack of integrity has NOTHING to do with being a tough coach. It's more than 2 or 3 kids standing on the sideline who take issue with the tactics and empty promises and if you think that's all you are dillusional. Glad it worked out for your two kids.

so you are saying a D1 commit should play because he is a D1 commit even if the coaching staff thinks a non committed player is better and gives the team a better chance of winning? I personally think the coaching staff should put the players on the field that give them the best chance of winning regardless or commitment status, grade, political connections or what team travel team they play for. But I also believe in unicorns

I call BS on this - nobody is moving from one assistant coaching job to another just for money. They just don't make that much at either school to justify leaving your work job on the south shore and driving to the north shore 5 days a week for maybe a couple of hundred extra bucks a year. I do not know him or have any idea why he decided to make the move back to Syosset but I doubt that money was the driving force
Well said!
OK so whats being said if your not committed your not worthy of a spot. Please wake up. There are so many situations where there are plenty of great players who are not committed in 9th and 10th grade. If you happen to be on the right team with the right coaches who happen to have connections, you tend to get committed early. My sons team ranks with some of the best in his age group and we play all over. We have a number of committed players on his team and you usually can see the difference in their caliber of play. Every so often we play a team where they arent so heralded and there are players that are just great and they are not committed. Reason is they happen to play on a team that isnt going to all the Showcases or their coach doesnt have the invite to Philly Showcase or Maverick.
What I am trying to say is the best players are not always the ones committed. HS coaches are around the boys daily and see who or what they are. Maybe little Johnny committed isnt telling mom and dad that the uncommitted Junior or Senior is killing him on 50-50 balls or that because Johnny thinks he so good he doesnt need to try so hard at practice. How about the fact that the difference in actual talent is so negligible that the coach awards a player that has put in the time and is a team player and bustd his [lacrosse] day in and day out since 9th grade to start.

I call BS squared on you my good man. You say you don't know the recently former Pequa coach but you say he "Moved Back" to Syo. It has never been brought up in any post yet somehow you knew he had previously coached in Syosset.

Not a big secret in Massapequa or Syosset that he had previously coached in Syosset and that does not take away from the main point that it is hard to believe that an assistants job in Syosset could pay that much more than assistants job in Massapequa to be the reason for the change.

Your not sure who is posting this stuff. Well it's coming from within. We're you not at the parent meeting with everyone yelling and screaming at each other. Are you not aware of kids turning other kids in for things they do, so they can get a chance to play. The infighting, the back stabbing by both the parents and players is crazy. If you are unaware of this then you are 100% disconnected and have your head buried in the sand.

Maybe he left for some credit. He's a lacrosse guy. His former boss never played the game. I know I know, all the geniuses will tell me you don't have to have played the game to be a great coach. Tell that to the assistant that does all of the work for little recognition.

Wasn't at the game, but are people seriously saying that Chaminade is not a good team because they are playing top teams to 1-2 goals? Ok so they didn't win, but they are playing top teams- doesn't put them on top, but also doesn't make them a poor team. And for the record- I don't have a kid on the team- just think people are crazy for slamming teams left and right. It's as if you can only win and never lose to be considered a good team. I assume you were all Olympic gold medalists or national champs at your sport.

They are an All Star team with kids from all over the Island. Stop with the excuses. I'd love to know how many came out for the Ward Melville team and how many they cut. Bet it wasn't more than Chammy.

Wasn't at the game, but are people seriously saying that Chaminade is not a good team because they are playing top teams to 1-2 goals? Ok so they didn't win, but they are playing top teams- doesn't put them on top, but also doesn't make them a poor team. And for the record- I don't have a kid on the team- just think people are crazy for slamming teams left and right. It's as if you can only win and never lose to be considered a good team. I assume you were all Olympic gold medalists or national champs at your sport.
What about all 5he Chammy parents bragging about all their D1 commits, blah blah blah, and still can't beat public. Embarrassment!
They last lost three in a row in 2009. Ut oh. St Anthony's is next.
You are spot on
Parents must be a bit miffed

Jealous of what? Putting your son on a train? Spending $$$ for what you can get for free? You should be embarrassed that all that extra smoke and mirrors didn't pan out. All the loyal public kids are mocking you right now! And the way it looks now, you really need to get on your shinebox!

They are an All Star team with kids from all over the Island. Stop with the excuses. I'd love to know how many came out for the Ward Melville team and how many they cut. Bet it wasn't more than Chammy.
Why do you call them an All Star Team? They might have kids from all over but who says they have the best kids from all over? The best kids in our town don't go there.
No excuses, they simply are not very good. Did you watch the game?
"Spending $$$ for what you can get for free?"
I have four kids. Three boys and a girl. 2 Cham, one public, one St A. You simply cannot compare the education at Cham to the other two. Worth every single penny. My experience. My guess is that the poster who wrote this question does not have a son let alone any relative who attended Chaminade. My guess is that you have no frame of reference.

My son is at public he has received a stellar education and is headed off to a great school. He has several teammates headed to top Ivies. No need to waste money on what we have enjoyed as a part of our tax payments. Community pride and well earned accomplishments will always be cherished memories. I'm proud to say we did not seek to find the greener grass, because it was right here all along!

Look at the other benefit of attending Chaminade. A lifetime membership in the Pompous Club.
If your son has "several teammates heading to top Ivies," you no doubt live in a very highly regarded school district. Not everyone can say the same thing. As such, there are many Catholic Long Islanders who like where they live but choose to spend some money -- not "waste" it -- on a Catholic education. It is a personal choice. And your disparagement of parents who make that choice is as insipid as it is obnoxious. Stick to lacrosse.

The score was 9-8 dummy. One of the closest games I've ever seen. Unfortunately, because of your biased, hating, mentality, your very limited brain lead you to believe it was a blow out.I truly hope you are not an adult. Such a loser…...

What some of you people forget is how far a Chaminade diploma goes in the future . Plenty of oppurunity there. You lax heads need to stop thinking lacrosse is the whole world.

Congratulations, you happen to be the exception rather than the rule. Most LI Publics do not have a TOP quality education AND a solid lacrosse program. Getting a private school education is anything but a waste of money, take a look where Chaminade kids are matriculating to college and get back to me. As for community pride, thats an absolute joke. The only time there is community pride is when the team is winning, otherwise there is backstabbing, complaining and general discontent, take a look whats going on with this board in regards to GC and Syosset. People dont give a crap about community, they want THEIR kid to be successful and the team to be good. Im glad it worked out for you and your kids but dont disparage other peoples choices because honestly you have no clue what youre talking about.

They lost to a very good Ward Melville team, nothing to be ashamed of. Ward Melville draws from a huge talent pool as their school district encompasses many towns and they have a long tradition of winning and putting out highly regarded lacrosse players. They didnt lose to Pat-Med or Brentwood so lets relax.
If Chaminade isnt very good, what does that say about West Islip, who they beat up on pretty good? Its early season still, lets see what happens and make our judgments at the end of the year.
Go to chaminade forum
No one cares to hear a bunch of blow hards keep trying to convince themselves how great there school is. My kids never did and never will consider a school like chaminade so stop believing their are chaminade kids and then the kids who wish they were. What you are seeing now this lax season is that the hype will never live up to reality

Leave to a Chamindade parent to start with the excuses. You lost because a town team who was better. Kind of like Express losing to a PAL team. Embarrassment plain and simple

Was WI ranked in the National top 20? No. Was Chaminade? Yes. Do Chaminade people come on here and brag non-stop about how great their team is? Yes. Will Chaminade still be in the top 20? No.

I didnt see any excuses in there at all. So in your warped view of reality a private school should never lose to a public school? Do you know anything about Ward Melville? Not a Chaminade parent either so sorry to disappoint you, Im just not understanding why everyone is so up in arms about Chaminade losing to a very good lacrosse team that happens to be a public school.
WM isn't ranked in national top 20. Those BS rankings are based on reported D1 commits and political connections the so called experts have with club and high school coaches. They should never be given total credibility.
WM is not even the top public program at the moment, several others as good or better. Chaminade is lucky the don't face Syosset, who would really give them a shalacking!
The same Shaka king they gave CSH, lol
"What some of you people forget is how far a Chaminade diploma goes in the future . Plenty of oppurunity there. You lax heads need to stop thinking lacrosse is the whole world."
Seriously?
Geez I would believe you if you said a Notre Dame Stanford etc. IVY etc degree will take you places, but one from High School? Its been about 8-9 years now that a college degree is about as useful as a HS diploma was 30 years ago, just an entry level to a career. Its where your graduate school degree is from is where it matters.

when Syo doesn't even win Nassau this year don't get too mad bud
CHS is just another public that would beat Cham
Aren't CSH and Bronxville very small schools? Why is Class A power Syo having difficulty with such small schools?
No......the same shaka Zulu..Geez

What makes you think Syosset is any good? When was the last time they won a state championship? They talk the best game in town but when you look at their trophy case, only participation medals.

Is that what they are calling Nassau county championships and Long Island Championships ?? Participation medals ? Wow , these poor kids are killing themselves all season to have you , someone who at their age couldn't imagine playing at their level , knock the hard work they are all putting in to call themselves Long Island Champions. I don't know what your school did last year and how far their lacrosse season went but I am damn proud of our team for winning and know that a Long Island Champion is no participation medal. At least not in Class A against pequea and smithtown east. There is no easy road there. Give credit to kids where credit is due.
As to the "Syosset parent" who keeps jumping on here talking about giving out shalackings, you people fall for it every time .... Do u even notice that they wait for the Syosset talk to die down and as soon as it does they say something just to get people to lash out against Syosset again. Happens every few pages , watch the pattern and it's the same quick senseless comment just to get ppl to start slamming the same town.
That's the problem with thiese anonymous boards, believe less than half of what u read , the fact that someone would come on here and say that kids are turning on each other for playing time ....makes me sick that people would blatantly lie about this especially when it has to do with the kids . The 3-4 parents that are causing trouble and upset are no different than any other varsity team on Long Island , only difference is they can't understand that their kid is on the sideline bc they would be better off on JV where it is age appropriate and would get all the playing time they could want . But it's all about the parents ego. You can't have it both ways .
I will explain it slowly to the appalled Chaminade lovers. Because the Chaminade lacrosse parents are so pompous, its total gloat time. Because in order to send your kid there to play lacrosse, you think your kid is pretty darn good to begin with. You know 100+ kids are going to be at the tryouts. But you send him anyway. They would rather their kid not play on a winner, than play at home or another private on what the parents see as inferior. It's only when their superstar kid gets cut do they start complaining. Maybe their kid could make a lesser program great (ie. the Thompsons go to Albany vs Syracuse). But it easier to join a proven winner (a la 91 and Express) and puff your chests how you dominate people. Well its time for your comeuppance. A bunch of highly touted, big time D-1 committed "individuals" were beaten by a public school team and every non-Chaminade parent absolutely loves it. So when this happens and they can't puff out their chests proudly in their red apparel, they say, "well, we sent him for the academics anyway." LOL. One can only pray that the publics continue give the Big 2 trouble, and we can all watch from a far with a huge grin.

WM PARENT...Posted a few days back. Someone said my comment was thoughtful and someone called me a housewife- for the record, i am neither.
The prior comments about parents (at least this parent) smiling because a public beats chammy, are ridiculous. WM was smiling because they beat a great program with a great track record...in a sloppy, but well fought contest. same outcome as last year.
Unlike the crazy posters, WM has no inferiority complex and simply wants to compete and play with the best.
Honestly, if lucky enough and good enough, beating sme, smw, wi, conectquot...-will evoke more smiles than were on people's faces on Saturday. Better yet, leaving the island by beating pequa or syosset or whichever team represents Nassau A this year at hofstra is more important to WM team and parents than winning a game in early april...
I think the people that are offended by chammy have an inferiority complex. Very much the same as the people that think early recruiting has ruined lax forever...because they didn't send their kid to chammy and because no one recruited their son, everything is bad and rigged and the world isn't fair...
if your kid is in chammy and on lax team, well done. if your kid isn't but he is happy, look up to the sky and say thank you...
no $ to play lax as a career, but if someone hands your 9th grader 20k in tuition reduction a year to pretty much any school (assuming you need to the money), take it and again, say thank you.
cant wait for the words of wisdom in reply

Better yet, leaving the island by beating pequa or syosset or whichever team represents Nassau A this year at hofstra is more important to WM team and parents than winning a game in early april...
I think the people that are offended by chammy have an inferiority complex. Very much the same as the people that think early recruiting has ruined lax forever...because they didn't send their kid to chammy and because no one recruited their son, everything is bad and rigged and the world isn't fair...
if your kid is in chammy and on lax team, well done. if your kid isn't but he is happy, look up to the sky and say thank you...
no $ to play lax as a career, but if someone hands your 9th grader 20k in tuition reduction a year to pretty much any school (assuming you need to the money), take it and again, say thank you.

Chaminade started this with their bragging. My son plays for one of the programs you mentioned and we look forward to the showdown with you, always exciting. I'm glad you won , but their is no inferiority complex on this end, just pride that a good public beats the privileged private once again. Great job!

They are both really good teams. That is why.
Here is your reply, BRILLIANT sir!! Well said, now let the dopes respond!
Bronxville has a better midfield with 2 juniors and a soph who are playing at the next level. Their D is suspect but 2 good goalies as well and a capable attack.
.
Win the midfield battle, you always have a chance, even if a small school v bigger school.

I asked a ref last night about your post and he told me that the rules as they currently are written says that regardless of a schools total population and the size of a teams roster both teams are only allowed to play 10 players at a time, it is a quality not quantity question. I don't know about Bronxville but the CSH 10 are pretty damn good.

Not a Chaminade fan, but you really are a sad and pathetic loser with a serious inferiority complex. Probably never play the game at a competitive level either. Get a life and move on.
couldn't agree more....you absolutely know that the guy is a frustrated parent who had a son(s) who either got cut from Chaminade or never got accepted. To spend the inordinate amount of time bashing Chaminade shows a real issue...gloating" about a HS lax team failures?..really?

Obviously, this person does not represent the majority of lacrosse parents. Most of us respect all players from all schools, as well as their parents.

Bronxville and CSH are two of the best small schools in the state. Having a small school just makes it harder to field a great lacrosse team, and a lot fewer of the small schools can do it. But for those that can, they will be just as good as a large school. Its still the same sport.

CSH is ranked nationally, small school doesn't matter if they continue to have a solid lacrosse program.

Victor won, they lost to a different team. Victor will win it all again. The upstate area is much hotter than LI now, maybe because they don't buy into all the BS and just play the game!

Youre right they lost to Niskayuna who lost to Victor. Upstate lacrosse has always been good, West Genny was a dynasty at one point.

Yes that's right! I know Victor is the real deal. How in the world did Syosset list to Niskayuna? Who even are they? Pequa blew through everyone the year before after winning a nail biter to S East.

Like North Carolina. A lot of hype and wins during the regular season but no State Championship trophies in the case. Manhasset lost to Victor in the finals and you dont hear them crowing about making it a step further than Syosset. They judge themselves by how many state trophies they have, not how many semi final appearances.
sure

And your kid plays for who ????? Ok let me guess....top rated academic HS with numerous Intel science winners, Ivy school admits and a state champion lax team full of top 10 lax commits where all the parents are happy and none complain about the coach.....
Now reality......your son cant make either team so he plays at a low level public school.

What's more interesting to me, is how Chaminade was only able to pull of an OT win. Both teams not as good as advertised, especially chaminade with the parents of the sophomores acting like they should be on varsity. Catholics a total mess!

isn't there a rule on the weather. Funny unlike PAL there are rules to follow like under a certain temp you do not play, or wind gusts.

Why is the catholic league a mess. St Anthonys was supposed to be bad this year. As or the jv teams that was club parents talking up Chaminade. Both jv programs would dominate 80 percent of varsity teams on long island. As for varsity programs they are opposite of public school programs. Both teams play a few easier games then the toughest schedule out there. Public schools play easy schedules with a few descent games. No public school would subject their teams to the schedule these teams do.

Looks like our group of "low level" players just beat your team...Stick that in your trophy case!

Public schools are only allowed 16 contests so they can only schedule a couple of non league games.

My point being public schools wouldn't play that type of schedule even if they could. Chaminade and st Anthonys could set up their games to go undefeated every year they play very hard schedules and the teams that see them at the end of the year will see different teams than at the start of the year. They play one game a year that matters but they play an extremely tough schedule so people can post about their loss

This is a ridiculous comment. Plenty of publics play very aggressive OOC schedules -- they're just limited by the number of games allowed.

Oh seedings ! Well that's something completely different.
WM losses to a better WI team by a few goals. 8-6 -r 9-7 not sure.
WM coach deserves all credit, again. he has a very decent team but his decision making is poor, bordering on horrible...
WM coach insists on second middy line being all sophs--all good/great kids and all committed, but none have ability to make a move, dodge, and score at this level, out weighed by 20 pounds. ... completely insane...maybe try a senior and see what happens??? Insane...
FO---the WM coach has three committed kids at x FO, but instead puts in the all american wrestler for the last five, down a few goals...clearly, the coach hasn't changed with the times...coach-FO important now...60 -40 is better than a 50 50 ground ball, ask Syracuse, better yet, ask umass? where you played...
Coach-
Just a poorly managed game. Is it possible that you take a minute and re-evaluate? You have a chance this season to win, but not if you make the decisions you made today. review the tapes, look at the replays, make sure the best are playing...or, stick to your guns and manage based on your relationships and the kids paying your summer tuition
WM-Good luck. Watch the tape!!!!

You have a chance this season to win, but not if you make the decisions you made today. review the tapes, look at the replays, make sure the best are playing...or, stick to your guns and manage based on your relationships and the kids paying your summer tuition
WM-Good luck. Watch the tape!!!!
Wow shots fired......
WM coach deserves all credit, again. he has a very decent team but his decision making is poor, bordering on horrible...
WM coach insists on second middy line being all sophs--all good/great kids and all committed, but none have ability to make a move, dodge, and score at this level, out weighed by 20 pounds. ... completely insane...maybe try a senior and see what happens??? Insane...
FO---the WM coach has three committed kids at x FO, but instead puts in the all american wrestler for the last five, down a few goals...clearly, the coach hasn't changed with the times...coach-FO important now...60 -40 is better than a 50 50 ground ball, ask Syracuse, better yet, ask umass? where you played...

Wow. that didn't take long. One loss and the WM parents are attacking the coaches and the other players.
And there it is, right there in black and white for all to see:
"stick to your guns and manage based on your (financial) relationships and the kids paying your summer tuition".
In other words... What am I paying you for if you are not going to play my kid?
Can you just relax regarding the WM Coach. It was a good game by two very evenly matched teams. AND two good coaching staffs. It is early in the season. I am pretty sure 'I am trying to lose' - said no Coach ever.
Adjustments will be made, kids will learn and improve....life will go on. Nobody died today on that field. Have a little perspective!

Right on the mark. WM Lax Community knows about these buffoons besides their deficiency in the X's and O's of coaching and leadership, their motive is self-serving for ancillary income but more importantly their primary jobs are "educators" in the district. Head coach is dean of high school. Shameful, but the lax community in WM is well aware.
What is happening to sachem north competitive every year very good goalie losing close games anywhere from 1 to 3 goals still know it's a lost but close games.
It is my understanding that when the senior all American wrestler came in as a FOGO the score started changing... Not sure if I understand your point. I think if they let him play the field there would have been a major difference in possession certainly and defense too. It was the first time he played all year and there was a swing in momentum when he did. Are you suggesting that the other FO kids should have been used instead because of their college commitments?
Sachem north 1-4
Sachem east 2-4
Just combined teams already and make
1 team.
Sachem east 2-4

Well, lets also remember that WM played 4 solid quarters until the final horn.....WI stood up and cheered when they took out one of the WM players.

Ok so then by that logic, Smithtown East and West as well as Half Hollow Hills East and West merge too?

Not sure you can blame the FO losses on the head coach. I believe one of the assistant coaches handles that responsibility.

Yes that was it. They were cheering for injuring a player, not the fact that he got up and walked off the field by himself. Idiot.
Another Daddy crying about his upperclass kid not getting playing time.
What a joke. Your superstar isnt getting it done on the practice field.
Coaches want to win....especially vs. WI. Great rivalry. Its a players game. Recruited FO's couldnt beat WI at the X. FO at WM has been a problem since 2013. AA wrestler made it a scrum & it worked, good coaching move. WI is WI....tough team not to be over-looked. Its a long season, keep working hard everyday. FWIW, its easy to figure out which
parents are on here bashing the coaching staff....support the team instead of bringing them down.

Sachem was combined 25 years ago. Similar results.

Ok, so what happens in practice? if 2nd line is all sophs, your senior
sonmust be 3rd/4 th line correct? they scrimmage everyday how come your senior middie doesn't beat a soph line with his extra 20 lbs.? but you expect your kid would have done better vs tough WI mids? please explain.

SN games offense looked like the old times passing the ball and not taking good shots. They would apply pressure, just not good a flow. I thought they had the ball way to much not to score, maybe new coaching staff is limited them too much or looking for 1 player to do it all.
WI JV also beat WM JV 6-5 great game.

We like the all american kid and agree he should be on the field...just not a fogo-I am not even close to saying the other fogo kids should have played because they are committed-but very much saying that the all american isn't as good at it as any of the other three.
Now, if you were losing every fo (think about that kid from sme we will face in a couple of weeks) and you put him there to battle, like a long pole-excellent coaching move, but that was not the case yesterday.
To your point about "momentum" -he didn't win possession as much as any of the former players, nor did he score nor was he given the opportunity to play defense. Having him run on the field and run off after losing possession is just foolish and poor coaching.
I completely agree the all american kid is an asset the coaches let sit on the side line when his size and strength are the exact attributes the team needed yesterday at middie. I also think he would have been a very strong fit during sachem n game and agree that the outcome could have been different if the coaches let him play yesterday (four or five or even 10 other boys in exactly the same position). Same old political nonsense in our happy little town.
I am not attacking any of the wm players.
We at WM have been watching these boys for ten years and we all know each of them, their strengths and weaknesses and when they are on and when they are not. If some kids weren't on, weren't strong enough, couldn't hit the cage, why not see if one of the other kids sitting on the bench were on, were strong enough, were hitting the cage. You and I agree that yesterday, the all american should have been playing (a lot).
the WM coaching leaves a lot to be desired and while some might say too early to pick on the coach (fair point), my opinion is that the team has an opportunity to actually compete for LI championship this year, so giving the coach a pass on a poorly managed, poorly coached game against WI is wasteful and harmful. And if we were all being honest, we would admit that sachem and commack were close games that could have gone wrong.
WM is still coaching as if the two all Americans from last year were on the field. They are gone -get over it and coach the very evenly talented 42 kids you have.
there is not a kid on that team that isn't as good as the other 41, so if fogo by committee, why not middie by committee or attack by committee or d by committee??? Unlike all the recent past years, we have a pretty even talent pool. Someone will undoubtedly say they are building team chemistry-to that I say bs-these boys have all been playing together for years, pal, travel, in house...they know each other well.
for the record, my boy was in all his normal shifts and didn't have a great day. If I were coaching, would have replaced him in that game for another kid...one of several. getting pulled for having a bad day is exactly what this team needs.
we all have to pay 200 for this stupid video service-my kid uses it-suggest that the coaches do the same...
the only people that will disagree with the above are the parents of the other 14 or 15 kids that always play no matter how poorly they are playing. the parents of all the other 26 equally talented boys watching and freezing on the side, will entirely agree-
I am with them....
WM 2nd middy line is not all sophs and not all are committed.
there is not a kid on that team that isn't as good as the other 41, so if fogo by committee, why not middie by committee or attack by committee or d by committee?
Dear Bernie Sanders,
are you for real? Ive never heard something so ridiculous.

sorry, I am a little slow-what is fwiw?
One loss and you are coming a centimeter short of calling out individual kids on this site, while trying to walk the line and say "they are all great/good". Yeah, that makes it better. I would hate to be caught in a foxhole with you. Its an early season loss. WM is a young team with a lot of new starters, and admittedly came in overrated based upon a win against a Chaminade team which as it turns out, may not be as strong as usual. This WM team is scrappy and will be a tough out by the end of the season and also a dangerous team to face. It is not very difficult to narrow down who this is, so why don't you take a breath and vow to wait 2 days after a loss before you post. And I bet your kid would not appreciate you throwing his teammates under the bus. We have two home games this weekend, take the opportunity at one or both of these games, to approach the parents of the kids you are blaming the loss on (even though you are trying to hide it by pretending to blame the coaches) and let them know how you feel - or better yet, just keep your opinions to yourself. And at the end of the season when these kids who supposedly should "replaced
by committee"- which is ridiculous and not done in Lax at this level - are winning games, you better make sure you are not being a hypocrite and glad-handing everyone and telling them how their kid is "some player".
We like the all american kid and agree he should be on the field...just not a fogo-I am not even close to saying the other fogo kids should have played because they are committed-but very much saying that the all american isn't as good at it as any of the other three.

silly, really, but as I read all comments- calling out the coach. you must feel a little defensive, perhaps your kid didn't play real well and feel like the finger is pointed at you...
that is the way of this team, protect your kid's spot...

I completely agree the all american kid is an asset the coaches let sit on the side line when his size and strength are the exact attributes the team needed yesterday at middie. I also think he would have been a very strong fit during sachem n game and agree that the outcome could have been different if the coaches let him play yesterday (four or five or even 10 other boys in exactly the same position). Same old political nonsense in our happy little town.
I am not attacking any of the wm players.
We at WM have been watching these boys for ten years and we all know each of them, their strengths and weaknesses and when they are on and when they are not. If some kids weren't on, weren't strong enough, couldn't hit the cage, why not see if one of the other kids sitting on the bench were on, were strong enough, were hitting the cage. You and I agree that yesterday, the all american should have been playing (a lot).
the WM coaching leaves a lot to be desired and while some might say too early to pick on the coach (fair point), my opinion is that the team has an opportunity to actually compete for LI championship this year, so giving the coach a pass on a poorly managed, poorly coached game against WI is wasteful and harmful. And if we were all being honest, we would admit that sachem and commack were close games that could have gone wrong.
WM is still coaching as if the two all Americans from last year were on the field. They are gone -get over it and coach the very evenly talented 42 kids you have.
there is not a kid on that team that isn't as good as the other 41, so if fogo by committee, why not middie by committee or attack by committee or d by committee??? Unlike all the recent past years, we have a pretty even talent pool. Someone will undoubtedly say they are building team chemistry-to that I say bs-these boys have all been playing together for years, pal, travel, in house...they know each other well.
for the record, my boy was in all his normal shifts and didn't have a great day. If I were coaching, would have replaced him in that game for another kid...one of several. getting pulled for having a bad day is exactly what this team needs.
we all have to pay 200 for this stupid video service-my kid uses it-suggest that the coaches do the same...
the only people that will disagree with the above are the parents of the other 14 or 15 kids that always play no matter how poorly they are playing. the parents of all the other 26 equally talented boys watching and freezing on the side, will entirely agree-
I am with them....
So you're saying that WM has a team of completely equal players? No single player is better than the other 41? That's amazing! Or, you're just completely insane. If playing on the summer team is making the difference in playing time, then play on the summer team. If playing on the summer team helps the boys better understand the coach's offense, then play on the summer team. If playing on the summer team strengthens the coach's faith in particular players (thereby putting them a step above the 41 other equals), then play on the summer team. Or just complain that the world is unfair and no fault lies on you or your son.

Hi wm fans-
In a meeting and text said go look at back of cage...
You all know me- suit pacing the sidelines- two boys taking face offs.
You all have opinions, but mine is this- go back to work and leave this site. Finger pointing anonymously serves no purpose.
Leave the drama to Chaminade folks:)

I'm confused. An earlier post suggested that the coach should stick to his guns and play the kids who pay him in the summer. That would lead me to believe that the coach is playing kids who do not pay to play for him in the summer. If that is the case then I must assume the coach is playing the players who he believes will help the team win and he is not showing favoritism to the people who believe that in order to play you must pay. Am I correct?
Also, I am not sure if it was the same poster or not but didn't I also read something about playing seniors? I assume they mean over a freshman or sophomore. Do I have that right? Again, If I am following this correctly the coach is playing freshmen and sophomore's who may or may not pay to play in the summer over upperclassmen who do pay to play in the summer and therefore believe they should play because they pay to play, are older and have put in their time. Is that correct?
My take is the coach wants to win and he will play who he believes will help the team win.
The parents of kids who are not playing are going to be unhappy. Some believe their kid is owed something and will complain. And some will tell their kid to keep working.
The pay to play summer crap should be done away with. There is a conflict of interest.
Don't know if the coach is good at managing the game or not but I find it hard to believe he is not playing who he believes are the best players.
Sounds like a lot of finger pointing and animosity.
I guess winning keeps everyone quiet.
This is very typical of WM parents!!!! They all think there kid is going D1. They blame every one around them including there coach. Can't image spending this much time back and forth with people from the same school. It was the same when your kids were in the summer youth program. There has been all kinds of crazy story's over the years. Now you move to the varsity team. lol WM parents have been a problem for many years and nothing has changed. Please keep this coming, very entertaining. Good luck to you all...
You are correct, that as a WM parent this is a bit embarrassing. Especially after one loss but your are wrong in painting with a broad brush. Some of us sit in the stands and cheer for the boys, then get in a car and go home. And we understand that most will not play D1 lacrosse. Been around the lacrosse scene a lot and heard a lot of stories from parents on the club team who hail from varying districts - not much different than other schools. as a matter of fact, some are worse. Probably very similar to yours if you were really being truthful about it. Its all good, we will be a strong team down the stretch. It wont be overnight of be easy because we are a team without superstars (for the moment). Non WM parents - enjoy the derision now, we will be a force to contend with down the stretch. and to the poster that felt compelled to bring the drama after one loss, we just might not leave any room on the bandwagon for you and the other naysayers when you want to jump back on.
Lets Go Ward!
Lets Go Ward!
FWIW - For what it's worth
My opinion: WM lost to a team that played better yesterday, not necessarily a better team. They wanted it more. This is the parody we will see this year. We are seeing it on the college level, and now on the HS. Mark my words, there are more "upsets" to come. Dynasty days are gone. Why? That is a tough question. Many programs lost team cornerstones and are struggling to find their groove. This includes WM, SE, and Northport to name a few. Blaming kids is not the answer. As for F/O, I firmly believe that a team should leave their best guy in there even if he is losing. Sometimes it takes a bit to "figure it out" sometimes the other teams guy is just better, or just hot that day. You are still better off with your best. Throwing in the pole or backup rarely works out. Going forward, we move on from losses and try to grow from them. Playoffs is where it becomes real!
Yeah it was cold everywhere you dope.

FO---the WM coach has three committed kids at x FO, but instead puts in the all american wrestler for the last five, down a few goals...clearly, the coach hasn't changed with the times...coach-FO important now...60 -40 is better than a 50 50 ground ball, ask Syracuse, better yet, ask umass? where you played...
Coach-
Just a poorly managed game. Is it possible that you take a minute and re-evaluate? You have a chance this season to win, but not if you make the decisions you made today. review the tapes, look at the replays, make sure the best are playing...or, stick to your guns and manage based on your relationships and the kids paying your summer tuition
WM-Good luck. Watch the tape!!!!

I watched the game on MSG and just read your post again.
No problem if you want to be critical of the coach but you are way out of line calling out players.
You are demanding seniors play yet your best offensive player is a freshman. You are demanding size yet some of the best players in the game are not very big. Lacrosse is not wrestling and weight has very little to do with a players success on the field.
I do not know about the players on the bench but I have to believe that the coach is playing who he thinks helps the team the most. Tell your son to keep working because you never know when you will get a chance to play. Make sure he is ready.
Who cares if a kid is a senior or freshman? Who cares if the player is committed or not? If the team is successful the coach is doing a decent job. If they lose or if kid plays poorly then I am sure changes will be made and other players will be given a chance.
Your comment regarding "paying your summer tuition" are the most concerning of all. It is bad enough that you think seniority should trump ability or performance but to believe that paying the coach should buy your son playing time is really very telling. Just one reason HS coaches should not be permitted to run for profit summer pay to play teams.

Drama
WM coach just wants to win. He is going to play the best kids while also building for the future. most of the 9th/10th kids were all kids that didn't listen to the "one town one team" nonsense and went and played club lacrosse at a much higher level than 3V or WM could offer. their skill sets are much higher, they play at a much faster pace and the results are obvious. That is why D1 schools have verbally committed to many of them. This is a skill game.... most of them don't even play for Patriot Elite and there is no ill will from coaches...He is playing the kids that don't pay him over the ones that do....Coach wants to win and is playing his best at this point. also a very young team so next year and year after the team will be loaded with high level, club players and very experienced kids playing. Senior class this year is not as strong as in past. Watch out NYS, we are coming!
Could it just be that WM team had a let down game ?
or
Maybe there is some parity this year among some good (not great) teams with exceptional coaches.
Look, in 3 games between the 3 teams
CHAM / West Islip
Ward Melv/ Cham
&
West Islip / Ward Melv
You had 3 different winners in the three games.

Great post- you are exactly right. All the wannabe Dave Pietramala's and Bill Tierney's come on this site and armchair quarterback these games to death. It is getting painful to keep reading these posts. Bye bye for now...enjoy the weekend.

WM 8-2 over Yorktown
Anyone know what happened on the GC road trip?? Heard 6 sets of parents were called to go get their kids and take them home before the game. Since they lost I am assuming some good players were involved

What is the nature of this debacle? Im going to have to assume it involves drinking and/or drug use?
Kids caught smoking pot. Don't worry, parents will lawyer up and the entitled kids will be back on the field in no time... Shameful
Please let GC worry about their situation, please consider the kids family in all of this mess, not from GC. It could be your kid next.

Most teams have this issue this one got caught. It is sad this happen... now the rest of you kids/families heed the Warning. No school is immune.
Be thankful you are not dealing with this. Not sure it makes a big difference in or out of season... but some have overcome this use this as a life lesson.
One of those boys also booted from the football team in the fall for boozing it up during school homecoming activities.

News flash: Lax Bros smoke pot! These kids just dumb enough to get caught. I know this because my son tells me. He is friends with other lacrosse players from all the big powers. Including Catholics. If you think your son isn't doing this , he is either the exception or your head is buried in the sand! So stop with the "Shameful" comments.
Parents not holding their children accountable is shameful. Not the kids.

Drugs are everywhere, especially for our young people. In this case Im assuming it was an error in judgement. For anyone that has teenage kids this is a constant worry, and for anyone to believe that their kid isnt capable of something like this is foolish and naive. You send your kids out into the world, give them the right information and hope they make good decisions. Sometimes kids make bad decisions as do adults and there are consequences for your actions. Hopefully these kids and parents learn and move on from this and no permanent damage is done to their futures for what seems to be a silly lapse of judgement.

CONSEQUENCES ARE THE KEY... a kid from a less affluent community would probably have ended up in jail under similar circumstances. How you rise above these self imposed situations is the key to character. Who has it , and who doesn't.

I am just warning everyone here that there will be no finger pointing or name calling.
Kids need to be off the team and if the school wants to really set an example they will ask the coach to step down as it is his responsibility.

Why don't you really set an example and fire the AD who was also on the trip with them... Come on, really. So it's now the coach's responsibility to parent his players as well? I guess it is the teacher's fault when Johnny gets a failing mark on his test as well. This lies solely on the players and the parents in this situation. Case closed.
I post the statement on the coach should also be held accountable. Yes totally agree this lies on the kids, thye are off the team no question, all I'm saying is the coach has to take some responsiblity here. It is his team, his kids, this is HS they should know better, but something has to be done. I understand that at least one of the kids has similar trouble in football and the lax coach is also the football coach common on, he has to take some fault here. But kids are gone, no way they can be back on the team. No the teachers is not responsilble for a kid falling, but if a kid is struggling he better make sure he/she is doing everything he/she can do to help that kid, unless the student jsut does not give a crap, than no that lies on the student. Trust me I'm a educated and there are alot of teachers who jsut don't car and put the time. I take it to me to make sure I do my best to make sure every student can pass the their test and some students need more. If there is trouble on a team than who takes the reponsiblity.

Some of these boys are 18, Legal adults, I don't think smoking pot is that big of a deal, Hek it's legal in some states. They just should have used better judgment, did it outside of School sponsored events! Are you going to pretend these kids are not drinking either? You all did it when you were their age! When I was a HS senior we went out to lunch, had a beer, then went back to class, all legal back in the good old days. People way uptite about everything!

Drop the pipe dude. You gotta be kidding me!
How will this play out with intended college spots? Do college coaches drop these guys?
Can not believe what i am reading. IT IS ILLEGAL TO SMOKE POT PERIOD !!!
Lapse in judgement, parents fault excuses excuses. Everyone is doing it really. If they have not been caught then how can you say they are doing it. These kids got caught doing something ILLEGAL. So it proves they are doing it. Done end they are all off the team. They were on a trip where the Head Coach is responsible for all of the players from the time they leave the school until the time they return. How did 6 players disappear from the team in order to do this. What if one of those kids decided to steal a car which is illegal but others do it and gets in a crash. I would bet everything those same GC parents would blame the Coach and school and lawyer up. Clear example of making excuses instead of making them take responsibility. To say all lax players do it is wrong. As far as I know D1 still drug test players. Have not heard of anyone getting the boot. I would like to think most kids take their sports seriously and would not jeopardize themselves or their team and stay away.

Why is this about class-warfare? The idea that parents are blaming the coaches, the AD or other players, couldn't be further from the truth. One can only imagine the feelings of disappointment, embarrassment, worry, etc. that they must be experiencing this weekend. I have worked in school systems in both Nassau and Suffolk and I can tell you from experience that (sadly) drug and alcohol use amongst teenagers is rampant and transcends all races and social classes. Most parents try to prepare their kids to make the right choices. Unfortunately good people sometimes make bad choices. And I agree that there should and will be consequences but please refrain from being so self-righteous,. Every parent will have to catch their child when they fall at some point in life.

I'd like to know how many of you Drank alcohol and or smoked pot in HS? Not saying it's right, just what kids do, and in my opinion the worst offenders have parents in denial, thinking their kid is an angel! Teach them responsible use in moderation while you have a chance, before they go to college and make poor choices!
There was an issue in GC with the football team. Kids were also removed from team. I see a pattern??? Maybe same kids?
Yes it was the same six, same hotel and room.You are a loser.

First of all teaching them responsible use? Are you serious? What are you advocating? Sitting with your kids and smokin a joint? Doing shots?
Both are illegal according to the law.
You see the difference was, back in the day I know my parents had a zero tolerance policy, made sure as [lacrosse] didn't do something as boneheaded as bringing drugs on a school sanctioned event. The wrath from parents was way worse than what school would have dished out.
I have my own opinion about this unfortunate situation in GC, I am keeping it to myself (as should all of you) I am using it as a learning experience and conversation started with my kids.
No the losers are the rest of the team that those players let down. They deserve everything coming there way. Hard lesson but maybe it will help them in the long run. I just hope AD and school does the right thing.
Wait, the LOSERS are the rest of the team? The players who did nothing? What a jerk you are. Really you need to go jump off a bridge you angry little troll.
My heart goes out to their parents. They are the ones who truly know exactly what is at stake.
I am a city kid who moved to LI to give my children a better life. Lacrosse is a part of that life. It is because of lacrosse that my son is attending a phenomenal school -- he will graduate and get a tremendous job -- all while playing the game he loves.
I am sure those parents lectured their sons about the dangers of drugs, drinking, bullying, texting while driving, unprotected sex, the list goes on.....
However, their sons are boys. No matter how many school assemblies they attended, how many times they saw stories on the news, they did not believe they would be caught --- why??? Because they are just boys.
I am not making excuses. I am not condoning their actions. I believe they should have consequences.
I am sad for their parents. I am sure, they are loosing sleep over this.

I think he means it in the sense that the rest of the team "lost" here, that they're also paying for the crimes of a few.
I agree with you. All kids will drink or try things, but when parents have a zero tolerance policy I think that makes a big difference. Nowadays parents will let kids drink in their home, or by beer for them bc they want to be their kids friend. That is selfish of the parents. The kids have their own friends. Parents need to be parents. Obviously the kids who got caught during football season then sued the district to let him play in the lax season was sent the wrong message. There is zero accountability. It's really a shame for the rest of the boys on that team.

BINGO... yes I am advocated to scare the leaving [lacrosse] out of the kid. Do what you want behind closed doors that a cop from 1970 -80 would say okay just know your limits..

So I am guessing that when you were in HS and had a beer or two at lunch, you were walking or driving back to school?....sure all those folks that were on the road were happy that a 17/18 year old kid was on the roads after having a lunch beer or two...well done!
That is the GC way. Your kid gets in trouble and they lawyer up. Good lesson to teach your kids. And of course the school folds immediately. Not the first time won't be the last.
Hey GC kids if your parents ever decide to discipline you just want to let you know you can lawyer up for emotional distress or abuse. Your defense would be you are not use to taking responsibility for your actions.

You sure have a huge chip on your shoulder about GC. Might want to tone it down a bit. You come across as an idiot. You think you know what goes on in someone else's home? The boys did a monumentally stupid thing. They got caught and will pay the price. And they should. You may have to eat humble pie someday. Most teens something stupid at some point in HS

Ehhh? A beer does not make you drunk, perfectly legal to drive. Everything in moderation. Was never a pot smoker my self. Tried it but didn't care for it. I made that decision on my own, not because my parents forbid it. Was that you I saw at the restaurant the other night enjoying a bottle of wine, and then driving home? Don't see the crime here. It's the abusers who have ruined things for everyone else. And yea, I'm talking to you too lax mom too, driving around with your phone in your hand on the way to drop off you kid at the drivers safety course!
I LOVE WHEN YOU ZANY CHAMINADE PARENTS DEBATE ON THIS SITE!!
Not actually sure if they had a lawyer because the school folds so fast it never gets that far. All they need to hear is the word lawyer. One of these dads is a lawyer so lets see how the meeting goes today.
Fair punishment ??
1. Kicked off team for remainder of season
2. suspended until playoffs when they are needed
3. suspended a few games
4. since school sanctioned suspended from school few days
5. Head Coach steps down
6. AD steps down
7. Both step down
8. Nothing happens boys will be boys
All things I heard

I think most of you need to take a long draw on some fine mexican dirt weed and mellow the F%^& out, these people are going through [lacrosse] (and yes it is the kids own doing) but relax on your own moral judgments - if I can suggest a fine hybrid of Kentucky Bluegrass, Featherbed Bent and Northern California Sensemilia. The amazing stuff about this is, that you can play lacrosse on it in the afternoon, take it home and just get stoned to the bejeezus.

Not my kids, not my business. Not my district. Nobody's business except the school, the parents, the coach and the players.
look up the word YENTA....that will explain these trolls
How do you know? No repercussions were even handed out yet.

I get it. Kids make mistakes. Made plenty myself while growing up.
Feel bad for the other players on the team.
Hope that none of the kids in trouble were committed, which puts even more in jeopardy.

Numerous reports have said they were dismissed from the team? Is that not true?
Does anyone know of any rules regarding playing at both the varsity level and JV level in the same season?
OK so a PUBLIC school teacher and AD are going to step down because some KIDS smoked a little weed? Holy cow, you must have a true prince sitting in your house. WOW, no glass houses here! How about, kicked off the team for being morons, done. Life goes on for everyone else. Get over your self dude. My God, in HS I drank some beers and had a blast with all the other guys on both the football team and lacrosse team. And GASP, some of them even smoked pot. Really, how judgmental can you be? Just an FYI, coaches and AD's are protected by a Union that will never allow them to step down much less be removed.
mommy...why don't you just call school?
A couple are committed. That will be up to those schools to decide. I hope those kids do the right thing when that phone call comes from the coaches. It will really show what type of character they have. When the coaches of those schools call and ask how the season is going how do they answer.
Just hope lesson learned and they move on to better things. For the 2 time offender hope dad gets him help obviously lesson not learned

Not sure of the rules, but it's fairly common. Technically, they are both considered "varsity". JV kids get brought up for playoffs every year and sometimes kids that get brought up before the season and don't play get sent back down (either by parent request of coach). The rules really only apply to anyone playing on a "varsity" team (JV or V) and going back down to play MS sports. That's not allowed.
I don't see what the huge deal is... I used to smoke on the bench when I was younger..now I run bond trading at morgan
I think you can play both, but can't play in both games on same day.

This could be an outdated response and the rules may have changed, but the answer is it depends. A varsity team can call up JV at any point in the season (one game fill in or full extended period). At no point can a Varsity graded athlete (11th/12th) go back and play JV.

But did you actually inhale?
Each school may have their own policies but, you can go back and forth between varsity and junior varsity. You are only limited in number of games. You are not allowed to play "extra" games

There is a certain Mommy and Daddy who's son in on the GC team who openly allows boys to drink and smoke at their home. That is pathetic and they should be arrested. I hope their son was one of the boys suspended

I have no doubt that what you are saying is true, but it's easier said than proven.

And yea, I'm talking to you too lax mom too, driving around with your phone in your hand on the way to drop off you kid at the drivers safety course!
Way too many hypocrites in denial here. Why don't you worry about some real issues, like, who will run our country. The one in there now has admitted to drug use, and the others Husband former president never inhales. Bush was a huge user. All reached the pinnacle of success after some experimentation, even George Washington himself!. This is all silly! Half of those appalled are probably having their martini as I speak, getting ready to drive Jr. to lessons! As long as you are not putting others or yourself at harm, don't see the big deal!
So great to hear that every long island parent outside of GC is raising such perfect boy scouts and alter boys.
There is a certain Mommy and Daddy who's son in on the GC team who openly allows boys to drink and smoke at their home. That is pathetic and they should be arrested. I hope their son was one of the boys suspended
I have no doubt that what you are saying is true, but it's easier said than proven.

Some of these boys are 18, Legal adults, I don't think smoking pot is that big of a deal, Hek it's legal in some states.

When I was a HS senior we went out to lunch, had a beer, then went back to class, all legal back in the good old days. People way uptite about everything!
Drop the pipe dude. You gotta be kidding me!

So I am guessing that when you were in HS and had a beer or two at lunch, you were walking or driving back to school?....sure all those folks that were on the road were happy that a 17/18 year old kid was on the roads after having a lunch beer or two...well done!
Ehhh? A beer does not make you drunk, perfectly legal to drive. Everything in moderation. Was never a pot smoker my self. Tried it but didn't care for it.

To the fool who said he tried pot but didn't like it and stopped on his own not because his parents told him not to..I tried stealing didnt like it too much so I stopped doing it, not because my parents told me not to steal.. Now do you realize how dumb what you said is . The bottom line is that there are consequences for your action . If the school
Wants to suspend them for the rest of the season that is there choice. No ones opinion really matters. Saying it's only pot no big deal..give me a break . Next you will be approving heroin.these are life lessons and the kids will

Some people have addictive personalities. Nothing their parents do will change that. Lax players do not traditionally turn to heroin, but they are known for their pot smoking. Not hat it can't happen , but unlikely. These kids are living and learning just like we did. Stop pretending you are so innocent and let them grow up. These Garden City kids were just to stupid to realize that would be a bad time to party!
FYI. There is no alcohol allowed for drivers under 21. In fact it is illegal for any kid to have alcohol in his system under 21
The problem is some kids have no chance in life with ignorant alcoholic or drug addicted parents God willing no parent has to get the call that some recent lax parents have gotten that their kid was the victim of drunk diving or died from a heroin or drug overdose . Being an athlete doesn't mean bad things will not happen. I have used the stupidity of a couple of foolish kids to remind my kids their bad chiices may have consequences

Nobody should be talking about the GC lacrosse team without knowing any facts or anything about the the players or the families because u bet that each family raised great sons who just made a terrible mistake. I bet the kids are being punished harshly at home and in school and they must be feeling very embarrassed. Everything all of you have written is bs because u don't know what's going on with these kids this situation and their families

It's really not that deep or complicated. Pretty straight forward, no?
Let me say this. No one was surprised it happened. No one was surprised at who was involved. We the parents of GC are just surprised it took so long to happen.

Good advice, Mr Rogers
Does anyone listen to Mike and Mike in the morning. With the new rule for Football about the "No Satellite" camps in football will this or did this roll to lacrosse as well?
They are stated for football a program can not have a representative at another schools camp. the only time a representative for a school can be at a camp is when it is on their own campus.
I have been to plenty of lax camps and showcases where multiple schools were at. That is the lure for the few I had my son attend. It was the same for football a few colleges were always at the camps I attended.
It this a new general rule for all NCAA sports... or just football.

I'm hearing rumblings that damage control is underway and the boys involved will receive just a few days suspension from practice. If this is the case, the AD should resign.. She has no control over any of the HS coaches most of who have been at GCHS for years. The programs are not nearly as successful as they were in years past or as they should/could be. Nepotism, favoritism,and plain old bulls$&@ are rampant on all varsiity teams. It's a disgrace to the community just like this situation is.
i bet your son [lacrosse] up within the next year and u keep quiet about it...so keep hiding behind ur computer screen u keyboard warrior

Not looking to chime in on the parenting/good kid-bad kid issues, just the law. Call it a pet peeve if you will but misstating the law drives me nuts. There is absolutely no statute in NY that criminalizes the mere fact that someone under the age of 21 has alcohol in their blood. the laws have to do with selling or serving alcohol to persons under 21 as well as possession with intent to consume. Additionally their are exemptions for parents - yes you can give you own child or ward alcohol - and those supervising educational classes where alcohol consumption is part of the course (say a college wine tasting course or a course in the police academy that demonstrates the effects of alcohol) as well as religious exceptions. maybe read the NYS Alcohol Beverage Control Law as well as the Penal law before stating what the 'facts' on the law are. See NYS ABC Secs 65 & 65-c; NYS Penal Law Sec 260.20
So if you are a GC parent you must know these kids and their parents. The fact that ur bad mouthing them in an annonymous website is pretty pathetic. Your son is probably friends with them and as I've heard more then the kids who got caught were involved. Maybe your son was one of them 
. Quit bad mouthing kids you've known for 17 years and you should apologize because ur a grown adult who needs to find morals. Your either a stay at home mom or a BSD.

No offense I think your wrong
These kids have serious balls and if u ask me what legends! AD across the hall coach down the hall and they were trying to get a little high? Who gives a [lacrosse]. Listen the kids are probably well respected and just like to have a little fun! They are paying the price let them live!

I am appalled at some of the responses here about the "incident". Somehow I have to think that there is an agenda for some of them if the kids get thrown off of the team OR out of school.
I would like to point out to these nasty individuals that their little angels are not perfect either and that it is very possible that their turn will come.. or worse even.
How can you throw stones at people?

Don't Nassau/Suffolk have social host laws too? So it is legal to give alcohol to your own kid but not legal to allow others, right?

Ok there F. Lee Baily. You might want to look into the laws governing those under 21 and having "any" alcohol in their bloodstream when behind the wheel of car. Which is exactly what the poster was referring to. Over 21, 1 beer no problem. Under 21, big problem. Look into it, you might learn something.

Completely illegal and parents can and probably will be arrested. Additionally, you will held civilly responsible for anything those people do after they leave your home.
I think the entire situation is unfortunate and I'm sure everyone involved wishes it had never happened. It did though and I believe some sort of punishment has to be given - whether it's suspension for a week or from a game or two, whatever. Otherwise what message is being sent to the boys involved and the rest of the school/high school sports community?

I think you sound a little ignorant sitting behind your little keyboard. As a parent of the team you expecting kids on the team to fail with drugs is extremely embarrassing. From what I've heard there were more involved and some got away with it, which easily could have been your kid. Maybe you should just hope your little angel whos never done anything bad in his life isnt next. Because I can tell you first hand as someone very familiar with these kids, your son probably had a blunt in his mouth after the loss last Saturday night, as 90% of the kids on the team did.
Lets face it GC parents your kid smokes pot, and if he doesn't smoke pot the only reason is because you uptight do gooders probably tell him how awful it is for your body when you have no clue what you are talking about. A little pot never hurt anyone, only enhances your childhood.
You think jahelka would ever let this happen?
The whole team would probably fail a drug test if tested except for the few pussies who don't have the balls to light up with there teammates on the weekend. Those are the kids who really are bringing the team down.
If your kid wasn't involved he probably wanted to be involved and if he didn't want to be involved then he's probably not that cool and that's the reality in high school
Most of this team would probably fail a drug test and for the few kids who are to scared to light up with there teammates on the weekend those are truly the kids who are bringing the team down.
I hope the AD or coach is reading this or that someone sends it to him or her. You are a GC parent venting and admitting you know that 90% of the team smoked pot last lost game. Someone needs to step up and address the overall drug use then. Thanks as a GC parent to fill us in on how much GC lax team smokes.

Pot/Herb/Marijuana are illegal. There is no excuse!!! It doesn't make a difference if you partook as a youth or even as an adult it is illegal. These boys broke the rules and the law. I am sure their parents understand the severity of the situation and unless you can identify yourself as a parent you should not be assuming what these parents are like and or what they do in their free time, and how they are handling the situation. Kids make mistakes and they are suffering the consequences of their actions. Some of the boys are committed and could lose their commit. We all were young and foolish and made mistakes. This could have been much worse for all and I am sure the boys have learned a valuable life lesson.
All parents of players should discuss this with their children and explain to them the consequences.

doesn't mean to condone it.
Like we used to say in GC...Divide it don't hide it. Rehab has since provided me with a different perspective though.
Just to add to the clarity of the law, a BAC of 0.02 under 21 first offense suspension of license for 90 days. Called NYS Zero tolerance law. This is for driving purposes.
You can serve "your" child alcohol all you want, under your supervision. Someone else's child you better have a lawyer ready.

Same thing happened during Football season. School only dished out suspensions. Opposing schools coaches were sure kids would have been kicked off team, but low and behold, were not. In any other dimension, they would be kicked off.
Even in states that have legalized marihuana it is still prohibited for teenagers. Marihuana is a dangerous drug for a still-developing brain and should not be used or condoned by children.
Contrary to popular belief, marijuana USE is not illegal. The possession of a LARGE amount (pounds) is a misdemeanor. The use in public is illegal. The use in your home is not illegal. This has become very evident a GC bashing fest, most likely due to them beating your team over the years, probably embarrassing them. Not a GC resident but respect the academics/athletics the village provides the kids. Look up the US NEws Report on High School rankings, GC is #12. Pretty good.
This has got to be a student. Sounds like a real [lacrosse] too.

what are the rankings based on? spend per pupil...give a rest...

not so -
Possession for Personal Use in NY State
For a first offender, possession of up to 25 grams ( .88 of an oz.) of marijuana is punishable by a fine of $100. If an additional offense occurs within three years of the first offense, possession of up to 25 grams of marijuana is punishable by a fine of $200. For the third or subsequent offense(s) within a three-year period, possession of up to 25 grams of marijuana is punishable by a fine of $250 and/or imprisonment of 15 days or less. Possession of marijuana in excess of 25 grams - 2 ounces is a class B misdemeanor and is punishable by no more than 3 months imprisonment and a fine not to exceed $500. Possession of marijuana in excess of 2 ounces - 8 ounces is a class A misdemeanor and is punishable by no more than 1 year of imprisonment and a fine not to exceed $1,000. Possession of marijuana in excess of 8 ounces - 16 ounces is a class E felony and is punishable by no more than 4 years of imprisonment and a fine not to exceed $5,000. Possession of marijuana in excess of 16 ounces - 10 pounds is a class D felony and is punishable by no more than 7 years of imprisonment and a fine not to exceed $5,000. Possession of marijuana in excess of 10 pounds is a class C felony and is punishable by no more than 15 years of imprisonment and a fine not to exceed $15,000.
And I am not sure the laws in NJ or possessing or taking across state boarders

See NYS ABC Secs 65 & 65-c; NYS Penal Law Sec 260.20
brilliant.....knucklehead. A teen under the influence may not receive summons or arrest. But have someone (ie teacher) report it to child protective service and see how that ends up.......
pot stirring...not pun intended.

Being an athlete doesn't mean bad things will not happen. I have used the stupidity of a couple of foolish kids to remind my kids their bad chiices may have consequences

Ok there F. Lee Baily. You might want to look into the laws governing those under 21 and having "any" alcohol in their bloodstream when behind the wheel of car. Which is exactly what the poster was referring to. Over 21, 1 beer no problem. Under 21, big problem. Look into it, you might learn something.
First off the original post I replied to did not say that "drivers" under the age of 21 couldn't have any alcohol in their bloodstream while opperating a motor vehicle, he simply said "In fact it is illegal for any kid to have alcohol in his system under 21" and that is simply wrong.
Secondly, the law you are referring too, called the 'zero tolerance law' is Vehicle and Traffic Law Sec 1192-a and applies to DRIVERS under the age of 21 with "any measurable alcohol" in there system defined as a BAC of .02-.07 (NOT .00). The section itself specifically says a violation is not a crime or offense, it merely opens the driver up to certain administrative penalties by the DMV. NOw have you learned something about being precise.

There are just way too many variables and way too little reading comprehension on display to accurately reply to this. Suffice it to say as a began my post with I was not commenting on the propriety of any particular action or inaction, merely the state of the Law in NY and the fact that there exists no such law that criminalizes the the presence of alcohol in the blood stream of a person under 21 on that fact alone. However, Along those lines, if by "under the influence" you mean intoxicated or impaired in public, such as at school, then there are criminal and municipal statutes that would apply regardless of the age of the offender. Also, to demonstrate what I mean by too many variables if a teen of say 18 was 'under the influence' whether the teen obtained the alcohol from the parents or not CPS would have no authority to intervene in any way.
But what does this all have to do with lacrosse anyway
All true. What is sad is the obsession with alcohol. Most Jrs and Seniors do drink. In my opinion 18 should be the legal age. The majority of kids try pot too. I'm glad to say that my son's generation does not drink and drive . I am also very happy that I have an open dialog with my son regarding this matter. If he knows there will be drinking, he gets a ride from me or someone else who is not drinking. Also if you think these college coaches don't think the kids party you are wrong. That's why they have early practices. To make life miserable for those who overindulge. Many of you really need to get your head out of the sand! Did you do anything illegal today, like drive over the speed limit maybe? Or are some laws ok to break if they don't seem reasonable?
I can't believe I'm reading this. Now you people say it's ok to smoke marijuana because it's not an illegal drug ? Since when did your morals go down the drain ? It is a drug. Period. Impaires your judgement and dangerous. No matter what town the boys are from they should be thrown off the team. If it were the volleyball team , they would be gone already.

Do you drink? Last I checked alcohol impairs your judgment. So move on to the next argument, the "where did your morals go" one isn't working for me and you seem like you need to get off that high horse (pun intended). Let's just stick with they broke a team/school rule and they were not smart enough not to get caught. Now they should face the consequences. All the shades of grey that you want to find mean nothing.
Listerine is not as good without the alcohol!

Speeding causes accidents, did you speed today?
wish someone would tell us the circumstances? Where did it happen? how were they caught?etc.
FYI. The story is the substance smoked was Marijuana Wax. A high potency marijuana derivative which is 80% THC, the active ingredient in marijuana. More potent than hashish it has a higher hallucinogenic effect. It is not comparable to alcohol regardless of the current legal status of either. Wax s the new rage so if you never heard of it I recommend you learn because your kids have heard of it.

Easy F. Lee, go chase an ambulance...
Listen Speeding is illegal so is drinking and driving. For all you pot smokers, smoking pot is illegal also, regardless if you're minor or an adult. I don't care if you do it responsibly you are breaking the law.

Actually you can drink and dive as long as you're under .08. Since I'm not a big drinker, this allows me to drink and drive and be well within the law. Sorry you're wrong again pal!

Sorry pal . You don't know the law. Stick to banking.
Really with the pissing match! Move on....next topic
As of yesterday; all involved players kicked off of team.. A one week school suspension was handed down. One known commit spot has been designated as "vacated" by that university.
Status of HC and AD unknown.
Coach reported to be "crying" as he informed his players of the situation at practice.
The HC must take the brunt of the responsibility in this case. Yes, parents should have could have done better and are suffering as a result; but the players are under the wing of the coach.
This coach has a long history of mentally beating down players. He has poor interpersonal relation skills. The result of this over the years has been for the players to show him as much respect as he shows them. There has been a loss of honor and values that stem from coaches instilling these virtues into his players and the players having pride in displaying the same.
The parents of this town sit huddled quietly and do not want to rock the boat as this coach has positioned himself as the gateway to college lax and expects the masses to bow down to him. And they do. His draconian practices are tolerated only as they have come to accept him as the savior.
It is time for this HC to come under review for his abusive ways. A psychological evaluation is not out of the question either.
Too many players have been subjected to this "crying" abusive person.
His tears I am sure are for himself and how much his image has been tarnished. He cares not one iota for his players as people nor does he take up the charge to be a true leader as one would hope and expect. His players would collectively put him through a wall rather than run through one for him.
Time for change. Drastic change.

Wow, some serious accusations there. As it seems you are close to the situation I will take you at your word but I do have a few questions as a interested observer.
Had this incident not happened and the team was winning, would this be brought up? Where has this outrage been?
GC seems to have a gateway to many of the Ivy league schools, do you think they are aware of the HC practices?
Is the a situation where while everything appears to be rosy and clean, it would not stand up to outside scrutiny?
Clearly it seems like there are issues there in GC, but its very strange that none of this has been brought to light in the past. I have to assume it is because the program has been very successful and kids have matriculated to very good college programs.
I don't understand how there are NO repercussions for the coach. That makes no sense to me. His teams are not as good as they use to be either so why are they afraid to make him step down. How is he not held accountable at all for his players? If 6 kids don't show up to a team dinner, why is he not searching for them. I wouldn't want my son under his watch. Sounds like "crocodile tears" on his part.
Blaming the coach ??? ! No way should the kids or maybe their parents who raised them and live with them, take any responsibility. Blame the coach. Nice job allowing kids to learn they have no accountability.
Typical!
Typical!
The above poster ranting about the HC from GC has to be a disgruntled dad who is pissed his little Johnny didnt get on the field when he was in HS. Stop living through your kids. GC parents all know who you are...Yes you are not liked as a dad or parent. You have been complaining for years and now you come on here and voice your opinion. HC did nothing wrong. Kids and parents are to blame. Hc is getting the boys ready to play at the next level. Stop being a wuss...You dont like your kid being yelled at but its OK for him to smoke weed at a school event...Get off your soap box and look in the mirror...you are the REAL PROBLEM
Drastic change...must mean your kid isnt starting and if they get a new coach maybe he will?? please stop you just sound silly and are acting like a grade school girl

The HC must take the brunt of the responsibility in this case. Yes, parents should have could have done better and are suffering as a result; but the players are under the wing of the coach.
This coach has a long history of mentally beating down players. He has poor interpersonal relation skills. The result of this over the years has been for the players to show him as much respect as he shows them. There has been a loss of honor and values that stem from coaches instilling these virtues into his players and the players having pride in displaying the same.
The parents of this town sit huddled quietly and do not want to rock the boat as this coach has positioned himself as the gateway to college lax and expects the masses to bow down to him. And they do. His draconian practices are tolerated only as they have come to accept him as the savior.
It is time for this HC to come under review for his abusive ways. A psychological evaluation is not out of the question either.
Too many players have been subjected to this "crying" abusive person.
His tears I am sure are for himself and how much his image has been tarnished. He cares not one iota for his players as people nor does he take up the charge to be a true leader as one would hope and expect. His players would collectively put him through a wall rather than run through one for him.

Might as well sign your name there, Norm. Yikes.
thanks for taking care of that for me I was in a rush.
No anonymity needed here. I stand by my words and opinion.
there are myriad topics that can be delved into wrt what happened.
I support the families and hope that they would demand change. proper supervision and leadership by the coaches would have gone a long way as would mutual respect and loyalty. Apparently, these virtues are lost upon this coach and his staff.
Hey Bitter Betty... You sound like someone whose kid didn't get to play as much as YOU thought he should have when he played for GC and have an axe to grind ... get over your bitterness, and move on, you will be a happier person... and so will your kid who probably reflected your negativity on the field and it affected his game.
As for the young men who made a terrible mistake and exercised poor judgment and are suffering the consequences of their actions, let's hope they learn from it, move on and they can turn it into something positive.

Wow, some serious accusations there. As it seems you are close to the situation I will take you at your word but I do have a few questions as a interested observer.
Had this incident not happened and the team was winning, would this be brought up? Where has this outrage been?
GC seems to have a gateway to many of the Ivy league schools, do you think they are aware of the HC practices?
Is the a situation where while everything appears to be rosy and clean, it would not stand up to outside scrutiny?
Clearly it seems like there are issues there in GC, but its very strange that none of this has been brought to light in the past. I have to assume it is because the program has been very successful and kids have matriculated to very good college programs.
[/quote]
Good questions, all.
The underlying outrage I believe is kept submerged by most as it has become the acceptable regardless of wins/losses. No one want to mention the elephant in the room.
Not sure if colleges are aware or if they care to be involved at all. They have bigger issues to deal with at their level.
Kids have matriculated to very good institutions in spite of these practices. I do not see many posts here attesting to his great coaching and personal qualities as of yet. Perhaps some are coming?
There were a couple of teams that made great records for GC; but lets be honest and give credit where due; they all played for a great club program which developed them as players that then translated to a great performance at GC. the HC had minimal input on the development of these great players. He was handed a great team by fl$.

support the families...what r you high???? another soap box DB
I know when my kids have gone on school sanctioned overnight trips, there is a parent and student meeting regarding behavior which will not be tolerated.
PArent will be called to retrieve their child. Kid signs it parent signs it.
Alcohol
Drugs
Are the TWO deal breakers. If caught you are done/suspended/loss of all activities including sports.
Kids know it, they sign the notice they were fully aware of consequences.
If said kids knowingly break the rules, some perhaps already 18, and some close to it, what do you expect?
How can you blame a coach for what the kids did. Nobody put weed in their bags, nobody forced them to do this. They chose to do this.
Now they have to live with the consequences.

This is sad. No parent should be happy these kids are in trouble. I feel much sympathy for them and their parents. I know in the high school my daughter attends kids smoke pot daily during school day it's awful they should be suspended. But why kick them off a team? Let them sit out at games watching their team during their suspension.
Let them attend drug lectures because the larger concern should be that they understand kids are dying from laced drugs. Let them use their free time to volunteer in programs for younger kids in their town pal programs.
But I would cry also if I was the coach cause he is probably sad that these boys are being used as the example. kids are making these poor choices everyday everywhere but punishment could be better by learning to correct what they did wrong without damaging a young mans future.

never argue with idiots. first they drag you down to their level and then they beat you with experience. thus; I wont debate you.
try reading the entire post before you blast off; reading comprehension is a must.
Um any games yesterday of note? today, tomorrow, this weekend. As for parents--worry about your own parenting and kids first and the coach/program and supervision when the kids are beyond you watch well after that. Your job to lay the foundation...

"support" as in understanding the need to address these issues at the familial level and in academic institutions. It was once said "It takes a village". No one parent can undo the pressure of peers as time has shown again and again. We can only hope to keep them between the lines when they are with us and hope even more so that they are being properly protected, even from themselves, when placed in the care and responsibility of others.
What I don't get anymore is why coaches do not punish players who get something as simple as detention or give teachers flack. Life lesson. Players who miss a practice and Lets not forget those vacations that wind up in the middle or during the season. You go away you don't play. life lesson. Not all schools had their easter break and will have it during Passover. YOU DONT GO AWAY WITHOUT repercussions. YOU DONT GET IN TROUBLE WITHOUT repercussions.
You only learn by yes sitting out, don't kick them off the team, but ban them for a few games make them watch and run the [lacrosse] out of them, make them learn. They slip up or give any lip run'em. Make their teammates step up (they'd have to if they were kicked off anyway) and if the teammates step up maybe they loose their spot naturally spot is lost.
Hopefully if they are truly remorseful and learned something, they will stay and make the team stronger in the long run, if they want to just quit because they cant take it let them, let them show their true colors.
Maybe I am to old school but that is how you do it. It is not how you fall down but how you get up.

Very well said. The iron fist in GC starts with the HC and his "club" program. Everyone is afraid of repercussions.
The word is many more kids left that hotel room right before the AD caught them. If that many kids were involved, and it was that apparent what was going on in the hotel, the HC did nothing to stop it and I would believe was ignoring the issue. The fact the AD was there made this come to light.

Let's get this straight, the Coach or his staff caught the offenders. That shows that he was doing his job and he did not sweep it under the rug. Sounds like he should get a pat on the back for having integrity.

I do not think that was the case, the AD caught them.
going after a disgruntled dad from years ago? personal attacks? sounds as if theres a rivalry that never resolved itself.
Kids fault!!
Parents fault!!!
No one was complaining about coach before this.

Truth is the AD caught the kids and that is why all this happened. These idiots had the room right across the hall from the AD and when she went to enter her room she could smell the pot. Knocked and they answered. She is the one who caught them.
Not sure what would have happened if coach caught them. From what I know 2 starters and not that great of a season so far. Last thing he needs is to lose 2 starters.

You have no idea what you're talking about. The HC is a great guy and would kill for all of his players. You're clearly a pissed off parent whose kid isn't playing. Stop causing useless drama the HC did nothing wrong. You are the real problem.
I also heard it was the AD who caught them and if that's true, where was the coach? Shouldn't he have a better idea of where his players were while a team dinner was going on. And why is the AD at an away game? Must have been some reason that she needs to travel with the boys lacrosse team.
You are old school. If you make them run or even yell at them it is called abuse today and you could lose your job. eXAMPLE is Coach at school across town lost his football position because he yelled at kids after a loss and them acting like idiots on the bus ride home. You walk a fine line these days when you are a coach.
But like in every level of the game. The buck stops with the HC. Always has and always will. The team wins he takes the pat on the back. The team loses he takes the heat. The kids get in trouble on or off the field during his season it is his to deal with good or bad and take the consequences. You can just imaging the speech he gave to the kids before the season " this is my team my rules what I say goes you are mine until the end of this season you will do what I say or else. WELL IT IS TIME OR ELSE

Maybe the HC asked for the help? Maybe she hates her spouse. Who cares, "they" caught the kids and as a result get credit (deserved or not).
Answer me this all mighty. If one of those kids had a reaction to what ever they were smoking and had to be rushed to the hospital or worse would you still be saying he is a great guy or would you be asking why and blaming everyone and their uncle.
Kids were missing from team dinner? No one went to look for them. Because they missed team dinner which I am assuming was mandatory would he have sat them out of game or at least for a half. Probably not.

Myself and a few teammates were caught drinking a flask of Jack Daniels in the bathroom at our junior prom. Our coach (chaperone) walked in and said "finish that up you f*&^%$ morons and get back inside..." Times they have changed.

AMEN!
Kids were in their room on a road trip to play Bridgewater-Raritan and didn't miss a team dinner it was at 4pm. The AD caught them.
The coach should not be fired. Stop blaming other people for the actions of kids. Coach is not their parent. He can only do so much. Yet again we are a society that blames everyone else for the actions of our kids rather than take responsibility ourselves. The kids screwed up and they know it and so do their parents.
As for the performance of the team: How in the world can you blame the coach for everything? He plays the best competition regardless of what players he has, he ducks no one. FYI his teams always perform well. For all you parents who never played a D1 sport please listen to me. The coaches coach their system and what they think will work. If your kid doesnt play the way he tells him he will ride the bench. College coaches dont care if you were an All American in High School. Its his job on the line with wins and losses. Why am I bringing this up. Your coach prepares these kids for college ball better than any coach I have seen. Does he run a slow it down offense that is a bit boring to watch absolutely. If they let him go there will be a huge line of schools wanting his services. This guy places more kids in colleges than any high school coach.
Syosset 3-6 L
Smithtown West 6-8 L
Massapequa 8-10 L
St. Pauls 7-6 W
Bellevue WA 5-4 W
Bridgewater-Raritan 6-9 L
Thats a pretty demanding schedule. They have yet to play a conference game.

They should have said coach chew out that school's varsity lacrosse team this year. They look like they could use some "motivation."

Why was the AD there, why not? She is the AD, It was a big away game for them. I say kudos for her going. Maybe at school events you need a certain amount of chaperones per student, some qualified in CPR and blah blah blah... Maybe she Qualifies.
Why doesn't the coach know where they are, what kind of question is that. If it is true that their room had the issue, they were where he thought they were, probably doing what he feared. If, her room was across from the boys, as rumored, how dumb were they. She was probably across from them for a reason.
This was not some heinous or violent crime. Some teenagers made a bad decision. They will pay for their actions and hopefully move on. Let's hope this moment of clarity will help then make smarter choices in college and in life. But the public flogging of teachers, parents, and the immature 17yr olds is way over the top. No one was physically or mentally abused, there was no assault or extreme hazing. This moral high ground by some of these parents posting seems a bit melodramatic. The system hasn't failed these kids like most of you are implying. Yes, it was dumb, inconsiderate, disrespectful and illegal but please ease up on all of your self-righteous bible-thumping. I'm sure every one of your kids has done something he feels lucky that he didn't get caught doing.
First and last time on this blog..sounds like most of the stuff is personal. This is a devastating event in the lives of these kids and all people connected to the program. A tremendous amount of pain going around. I guess it is an easy time to take a shot..oh well...much easier to kick a guy or a program when you think they are down..I will personally hope that the parents of the young men who made a bad decision get them the help they need . The rest doesn't really matter, especially any kind of vendetta's or vindictiveness..
He is such a good coach you should build him a house and talk him into moving to GC.
Oh ya you already are and he already is
Oh ya you already are and he already is
The weak links just HAD to get high. No thought of their reputation, their team, their families or their future. So pathetic. So long.
Definitely not the kids fault and definitely not the parents fault. That leaves the coach and school.

The kids get in trouble on or off the field during his season it is his to deal with good or bad and take the consequences. You can just imaging the speech he gave to the kids before the season " this is my team my rules what I say goes you are mine until the end of this season you will do what I say or else. WELL IT IS TIME OR ELSE
They should have said coach chew out that school's varsity lacrosse team this year. They look like they could use some "motivation."
(Meaning C -- because they suck -- not GC)

The coach should not be fired. Stop blaming other people for the actions of kids. Coach is not their parent. He can only do so much. Yet again we are a society that blames everyone else for the actions of our kids rather than take responsibility ourselves. The kids screwed up and they know it and so do their parents.
As for the performance of the team: How in the world can you blame the coach for everything? He plays the best competition regardless of what players he has, he ducks no one. FYI his teams always perform well. For all you parents who never played a D1 sport please listen to me. The coaches coach their system and what they think will work. If your kid doesnt play the way he tells him he will ride the bench. College coaches dont care if you were an All American in High School. Its his job on the line with wins and losses. Why am I bringing this up. Your coach prepares these kids for college ball better than any coach I have seen. Does he run a slow it down offense that is a bit boring to watch absolutely. If they let him go there will be a huge line of schools wanting his services. This guy places more kids in colleges than any high school coach.

Thats a pretty demanding schedule. They have yet to play a conference game.

Well stated and thanks!
Let's not throw around words like devastating unless your talking about something like death or cancer. This is the perfect time for a life lesson. Hopefully ALL involved learn from it and move on.
HC doesnt live in GC...Thats why you are a moron and have NO clue...Please stop. You are embarrassing yourself....By the way he is a great coach and teacher. Now please go back under your rock

Sure.... Why hasn't he left for the lucrative college ranks of coaching yet? there must have been countless offers, right? right?
If they let him go, the only thing huge will be the huge sigh of relief from the entire town
He calls it Cathedral Gardens. House in GC not ready yet ? VM come on what is taking so long get the house built already. His kid needs to be in GC school district in order to go to a GC school next year.

Do you understand or know anything about the game of lacrosse. He plays a big school schedule versus teams that have double to triple your enrollment and versus private schools that recruit. He always challenges the players with a tough schedule. He places more kids than any public school into elite college programs. His body of work is in a league all its own. Ask the parents who he has tirelessly called colleges for. You probably don't know any of this. Your the festering wound of a parent on the sideline brooding over playing time. You are a coaches nightmare. Rather than see all the good you try and knock the coach. He can only do so much. Raising kids is on the parents noto the coach. A coach tries to develop players, make them achieve their full potential on the field and even off.
Maybe 1 or 2 parents dont like the HC..You know why..Because the parents think their little angel is a good lax player when he really suks and sits on the bench...Please stop going after the HC and worry about your own family. Im sure you are one of the parents that say their kid never did anything wrong and put the blame on other people because you are a crappy parent....Maybe if you stop babying your kid he will go to a good college and get a good job one day...You babying him will only lead to him back to his HS bedroom after college living with YOU. I know what you guys can do...you can drink beers together watching lax on TV saying that shouldve been my son on TV but my coach never played my son because he didnt know what he was doing...BLAH BLAH BLAH..Stop the crying and deal that your son stinks...If you dont like HS lax go to a club team..The coach will blow you and your son because he is getting PAID

Looks as a moderator we can see who is posting. Your the same person posting all the negative stuff. How is the coach to blame for the kids smoking pot. He didn't force them, he didn't buy it. He in no way condoned it. What the [lacrosse] are you smoking. They were missing after they got caught. They got caught at 4pm.

Just a coward behind a keyboard with their own toxic agenda. Thank you again America's Game for replying with some very positive responses about the HC. We are behind him and his coaching staff 100% and will be there this afternoon to cheer the boys on against Carey!! GO GC!

looks like someone didn't get their kid onto the club team of their choice...so angry...you make me laugh.
I know everything about the game and how it works. The sign of a good coach is not only getting the ones who stand on their own and are the best on the team into decent colleges but the second and third tier players. List where all these kids are attending these elite schools. Except for Harvard which was established a few years back not many others are there. He throws away those kids like garbage and moves on to the next. 5-6 kids tops go to what you would call top elite schools. The rest fight for spots on their own at a D3 school. More than 60% if they are still playing are at D3 schools. If the didnt play for fl$ or EXPRESS Orange they are on their own. How many are going to Harvard next year ?? Or any other top tier team ? Not counting those who are taking a detour either which is becoming the norm at GC
How many at Harvard were caught cheating? Not smoking pot?

Spoken like a true disgruntled parent who thought that their kid was entitled to a lacrosse scholarship of some sort because they live and played on a GC team. Nothing wrong with playing D2 or D3. Not everyone has D1 talent and lets all face it, after four years of college no one is making a career out of lacrosse unless they go into the teaching profession and coach at a MS or HS.
so you are saying every grade has the same types of kids...are you kidding me..who wins year in and year out in any sport...every team has up/down..this i guess was a down year or two for this team/town...Stop being jealous you could not afford to live in that town because you were a screw up in college and couldnt get a decent enough job to help your kids grow up in such a great school system...truth hurts huh?

Do you know that some of the best academic schools are D3. Colleges especially the top D1 and even D3 schools don't take the 2nd and 3rd tier players. A coach can only do so much. Do you know that the coach does what he can to place players. It's up to the players to have the grades and skill to get into the elite school. Is he supposed to do their homework and make them do wallball. No that's your job. So now because your kid isn't good enough or you think he is good but no schools take him it's the coaches fault. You again are a coaches nightmare. Just because you are from Garden City doesn't automatically guarantee your kid is going to a top D1 school.

As the game grows like wildfire across the country, and the number of HS players increases, the number of players from GC going to elite schools will naturally decrease. The best players from schools in Florida, Texas, Ohio, etc. are now better than the 5th or 6th best player from GC. Same goes for all the other programs that used to send their entire starting lineups to name college programs.
this topic has come so far off of the wheels. lets all agree that there is a shared responsibility for these actions on part of the players, parents and coaches.
parents place their children in the trust of the school and coaches. The coaches are obligated to provide and maintain a safe, protected and supervised environment for the welfare of these kids while in their care. otherwise schools should insist that parents attend and care for their own children while at such events.
the parents are not excused from their responsibility but count upon the coaches and school to provide as stated above in their stead while the children are in their care.
the students are immature for displaying such poor judgment.
ultimately, at the time of the infraction; the coach and staff are responsible for not preventing this from occurring.
you teach your kids not to play with matches but they burn down the house while the babysitter is on the phone instead of watching the kids as hired to do... who is at fault?

for the record; our son's club team coach had his entire first line committed to D1 programs by end of 10th grade; some as early as 9th.
No BJ's needed. just great coaching
You do your best to find a home for all not the few that make you look good. Agreed there are many really good D3 schools but that is not how GC parents think. They all go into it thinking D1 FULL RIDE. Will do anything to get there kid on field not knowing there is so much more to it than just getting them on the field. Off the field in most cases is more important except those few rare kids

They weren't missing that's wrong they weren't even caught red handed not one thing on this website is true they were interrogated after the ad smelt it. They got caught just before team was loading the bus

Honestly, if you're a moderator you should be keeping your opinion out of the discussion. A "moderator" should be a neutral party with no say, just an observer. Perhaps you are too close to the situation and you should recuse yourself? You certainly shouldn't be insulting a kid, your last line above was completely unnecessary.
Really the moderator in my opinion should say whatever he wants. Its an opinion and he does protect many people/kids. He tells the truth. Not like you people listening to hearsay from disgruntled parents. Stay off this site if you dont like it..Your opinions suck if you ask me. Go yell at ur kid now for not doing 25 minutes of wall ball. How about getting your kid a tutor and getting him into a school on his own merits..lol

This is a jab at an [lacrosse]. This person has posted numerous negative posts about coach even AD. They might not even have a kid on the team. Because they post anonymously no one knows. I am a moderator and if you see my posts I post facts. Just sending a message and giving them a bit of their own medicine. I have an opinion and will back it with facts. I can be contacted if anyone wants to email me. If you can determine who their kid is by my post and who they are, please please tell me where Jimmy Hoffa is, because that would be some feat. Yet I will remove that part of my post.
Whoa, a mind reader!! Hey can you tell me who is going to win the World Series and SB?? How in the world can you assume what a GC parent thinks? C'mon knock it off already. You all look like petty people.

Parents from GC are probably the most unlikely to believe the whole "D1 FULL RIDE" thing, considering so many of them grew up playing lacrosse themselves, probably moreso than any other town on Long Island.

If you have to yell at a kid to do 25 minutes of wall ball he's less interested in getting great than you are in him being great.
Ok I think we have gone on with this topic long enough. Lets get back to high school lacrosse. This situation is truly an unfortunate one. Everyone involved has suffered, the players, the parents, the coaches, the AD, the school, and community. Garden City has a decorated lacrosse history and an event like this should not tarnish or completely destroy what they have accomplished in the past and going forward. All that we as lacrosse enthusiasts can do is hope that everything settles down and not forget there are other players who are still playing and they need the support of their community.

Yea and those other players are beating Carey 11-3 at half

May I add that this is not unique to GC. We live very nice area, great school district, decent lax program. The drinking and pot smoking are out of control, you have no idea. The ones who are really bad, are the girls, 14-15 year olds drinking themselves into oblivion, passing out and puking. You can't even imagine, there's going to be a tragedy...
One pretty sure way to find out if your student/athlete is taking/smoking/snorting/injecting a drug, just go to your local pharmacy/CVS/Rite aid etc.... buy a drug kit. Then wake them up one early Saturday or Sunday morning and have them pee in the cup. May not be 100% accurate but you will get a good idea!
Or do you really want to know!
The choice is OURS.

It is this way in most districts, mine included. I know my son has a couple beers, and does not drive while doing so . I'm ok with that. Luckily he takes after me and does not care for the other stuff. Although some lax buddies do. Not my business. Somehow they get out on the field and nail it. Just like Wall Street!
Present Roster: Duke-Princeton-Brown-Bucknell-Maryland-Binghamton-Hobart-Franklin&Marshall-Lafayette-Holy Cross-Furman-Scranton ......
Spoken like a true disgruntled parent who thought that their kid was entitled to a lacrosse scholarship of some sort because they live and played on a GC team. Nothing wrong with playing D2 or D3. Not everyone has D1 talent and lets all face it, after four years of college no one is making a career out of lacrosse unless they go into the teaching profession and coach at a MS or HS.

Not everyone has D1 talent and lets all face it, after four years of college no one is making a career out of lacrosse unless they go into the teaching profession and coach at a MS or HS.
Thats more like the GC we all know. Crush a much weaker team. Up 11-3 at half 13-3 after 3rd and stick another 4 goals in the 4th.
Now that is a coach who is teaching the kids the right thing to do. Great sportsmanship. But then again it is GC and that is what they made all the scoring records from running up the score on much weaker teams

Interesting perspective..I guess if he went out and played to keep it close,that would be better. Actually, if he had spotted them 10 in an 11 game that would really have been better. Whatever..
That's not a much weaker team and this is HS not PAL. I'm sure the starters weren't in during 4th quarter. Look at rest of scores in Newsday. This is what happens in conference play. You blame coach for losing. Blame coach for winning by too much. Blame the coach for kids bad behavior. Lot of responsibility and critisism for six grand and a sweatshirt!

Wow... this guy (HC) can't win with anyone on here... boys go on trip, and warned and told rules beforehand, break the rules, get caught, get disciplined. Apparently on this board though, its all the HC's fault, and he should be fired.
Now, missing 5 players, and undoubtedly playing some kids who haven't seen a lot of time, has some success on the field against "weaker" teams, and is now criticized for it - as once again, of course its all his fault - no sportsmanship...
we are talking about high school kids, and a high school lacrosse coach/teacher.
If these were students on a school sanctioned field trip, and the same thing happened do you fire the teachers/chaperones on the trip who caught them and made them face the consequences of their actions? Of course not - they're doing their job
He is a HC of a high school team and a teacher. All the extra time he puts in outside of school, and on the field is his own time that he is putting in for the kids. He is not a professionally paid coach. All the criticisms of his interpersonal skills, his perceived heavy handedness, or criticisms of his association with a youth program sound like petty, personal, vindictive attacks from someone who feels like they (yes, you little johnnys dad) were given a raw deal...
Everyone needs to calm down
Watch the tape, all 14 starters sat half of the 3rd quarter and the whole 4th quarter, Next time should they go to the PAL 3-pass rule when they are up by 5 goals?

To the naive, thick headed coach defender...Um...he IS a PAID coach and coaching is his profession. So he may not be coaching a professional team but he Is in fact a coaching professional. Get back to work or to school guy. Clearly your education is incomplete or was lacking to start...whatever institutions are responsible for you I'm sure would not be pounding their chest in pride of you as their product.

Plus GC HC is an arrogant arrogant arrogant person

quite possibly the most inane statement I've ever read from a parent about his underage drinking child. way to go dad...i can see a dad of the year award in your future as your son leaves rehab with his wall street buddies

I guess you're right... he is making his living on the $5k he gets paid to be a coach. Not the salary he earns as a teacher. Glad you're on top of things. My bad.

It is time for this HC to come under review for his abusive ways. A psychological evaluation is not out of the question either.
Too many players have been subjected to this "crying" abusive person.
His tears I am sure are for himself and how much his image has been tarnished. He cares not one iota for his players as people nor does he take up the charge to be a true leader as one would hope and expect. His players would collectively put him through a wall rather than run through one for him.

So following your logic, if a kid gets caught smoking pot in the bathroom at school, or on school grounds, principal should be fired?
A paid coach and a professional coach are two different things. This is not his full time job. He is not a career high school lacrosse coach. You arrogant parents who take no responsibility for your children are the real problem. Control your kids behavior. You sound like a typical parent who is unhappy with the coach because the coach doesn't share your vision of little Johnny being an Ivey league player!

Clearly a bitter parent - how much time do you spend on here?
Please stop crying about the HC of GC. I can guarantee you are the type of person who thinks everyone should get a trophy. The coach plays the best players on his team. I know the coach personally for over 20 years. He is a great family man,teacher,coach and friend. Just because your son didnt get playing time on his team you come onto this website to insult him? Maybe if you had a set of balls you would either confront him and tell him that or you should just realize your son suks at lax and him and his staff see it. The people on this site want the truth, well thats the truth. Your son doesnt play and sits on the bench because he really isnt that good. Truth hurts huh??? By the way my kid doesnt play on his team.
Teddy Roosevelt wrote an essay called "The Man in the Arens" and one of the great lines in it is "The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at best, knows the triumph of high achievement; and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."...Critics...interesting group..usually think they could do a better job..having never even attempted what they think they could be better at...
Based on what I have read here, most of you did not play HS sports. The "abusive" behavior is called motivation, it works. The kids aren't crying, the parents are. I played in a time when coaches would grab you by the jersey and scream in your face for minor transgressions, it was hardly mentally abusive. Please stop, you sound silly, the head coach has won way more than he has lost. He has put many boys into top tier programs. The kids screwed up and were disciplined. The story is OVER. And to the people who are getting "reports" on the situation, GET A LIFE loser.
Garden City is a mess. Just look at the parents behavior and braggadocio attitudes and its easy to see where this type of behavior comes from. Leave the coach alone. Take aim at the residents. Did I mention our PAL program is a mess with infighting as well? The protectionism is rampant for all the little Johnnies and their doomed fate if god forbid they don't make the A team. Friends turning their backs on each other and all the squabbling and political maneuvering... makes me sick. Most of the oafs involved were not much to speak of in their day to boot...joke.

Why don't you get up from behind the keyboard that you are hiding behind, grab a whistle and volunteer your time like these so called oafs are doing. We are always looking for more volunteers to assist with our program. Boy, it must be a nice view from the cheap seat, huh.
wow...this has turned into a real jerry springer therapy session for you GC citizens

must've been dying for years to pull out the one quote you learned in your life (or did you look that one up?) and is laughable in that it so inappropriate to this discussion nor are your claims or interpretation of this quote even germane to the original point.
nice try there, Ted

Put your hammer away and grab a whistle and volunteer your time like these guys are doing. So quick to judge and critique the sports programs when all you do is drop little Johnny off and pick him up from practices and games. Must be nice.
The legendary coach from Ward Melville Joe Cuozzo was once asked why he wasn't interested in traveling to out of state games. His answer is still appropriate 20 years later. I am paraphrasing but basically he stated way too much chance for things to go wrong and destroy a season. He was more than willing to play you at his field where his players were their parents responsibility until they stepped on the field. Smart man!

I appreciate the coaches and their time--its all the other stuff; and I do coach in the community.
No but kid would be suspended from school and stopped from any other activities no questions asked. Why was a need for a meeting to discuss. Should have been cut and dry and none of this would be happening. Everyone would have looked at GC and said WOW they don't take any bull and don't cower to anyone.

The PAL program is a very big program and credit must be given to all of the volunteers involved. All programs have internal issues and this is not lost on the GC PAL program; but the devotion and attention given by the volunteers enabled many kids including my own to succeed at the high school level with good fundamentals as the foundation of the program.
this in not the place to discuss infighting.
bashing the HC on the other hand is perfectly fine. When your kids finally get to play for him; the rose colored glasses will come off at home when your kids tell you the real deal.
Everyone on this forum is so judgemental and idiotic. These kids did a dumb thing and you are all arguing over something that doesnt even concern you at all. They made a mistake, and are paying the consequences for it. And for all the parents that are calling them morons and saying they need help, take a look at your own son because i can tell you first hand i guarantee they have at least tried smoking pot before, most of them do it pretty frequently.

Since it's obvious you aren't from GC, the volunteer situation in GC youth sports is somewhat different depending on who the grade coordinator may be. In some grades, the volunteers are the coordinators friends and if you aren't his or her friend, you need not apply. That's why many stay in the so called cheap seats you reference. So if you don't know what you are talking about, worry about your town.
The head coach at GC runs the GC PAL and travel program, the kids pay more to play on the towns travel teams than most travel teams. There are at least two travel teams in each age group up to 7th grade. In 7th grade and higher there is one team. The A teams as they are called are typically coached by paid guys who the head coach picks. It is a huge cash cow. Not saying it is not run right but huge money for these guys. Where they are way wrong is not allowing kids to play on travel teams as well and do the best they to play both, without getting kicked off the GC team. Some of the better kids can play on a top travel team, play against some of the best talent in their respective grade and get very good lacrosse experience. The travel teams typically carry 23 kids at over $1800 so those kids better get somewhat equal playing time or else! Lets face it there are no towns that 23 let alone 5-6 top kids so if you are one of the kids with more talent you cannot play a travel with other top talented kids and you must play on the town team and share the same play time with some kids that might never play on the varsity team. Just don't seem right but many are unsure to leave the town team because they may have to play the guy who runs the progam in high school.
Do they still penalize kids that they assume are going to Chaminade? I've heard horror stories about 6th, 7thand 8th graders who get nothing but bench time because they're not going to play at GC public schools.

Haven't gotten there yet, but I have heard the GC34 program prohibits kids from trying out for the summer team in their 8th grade year if they even plan on taking the CAtholic entrance exam
How does he know if the kids are going to Chammy.Do you live in the homes with the families that are making a decision. Probably not so how the [lacrosse] does the coach know if a kid is going to Chammy. You are the stupidest person that has ever been on this website...Hands down you are a MORON. yes you have "heard horror stories". So far from the truth. Please go crawl back under your rock with your red cup
Yes,you are probably right..lets just go back to the backstabbing and badmouthing kids,coaches, parents, AD's and whole communities.. smart guys like you "get it" I got it..thank you

If you need to know the facts before posting on this site there would be nothing to read!

The A teams as they are called are typically coached by paid guys who the head coach picks. It is a huge cash cow. Not saying it is not run right but huge money for these guys. Where they are way wrong is not allowing kids to play on travel teams as well and do the best they to play both, without getting kicked off the GC team. Some of the better kids can play on a top travel team, play against some of the best talent in their respective grade and get very good lacrosse experience. The travel teams typically carry 23 kids at over $1800 so those kids better get somewhat equal playing time or else! Lets face it there are no towns that 23 let alone 5-6 top kids so if you are one of the kids with more talent you cannot play a travel with other top talented kids and you must play on the town team and share the same play time with some kids that might never play on the varsity team. Just don't seem right but many are unsure to leave the town team because they may have to play the guy who runs the progam in high school.
Not sure where you got your information about the program but most of it is inaccurate. Try again.

Who cares about snobby GC? Nobody else does!!!
BECAUSE THEY WON'T LET YOU!!!!! Think about GC like Hogwarts - you have the Purebloods (born and raised in GC) now most of them are Slytherin but some are nice good people like Harry Potter so he ends up in Gryfindor (but the majority end up in Slytherin). If you are a Half Blood (maybe your spouse was born in GC) then you get invited some events but if it is your wife - you can't be a lax coach etc. your not allowed! Now once in a while, a Muggle comes along who turns out to be a great wizard like Hermoine. In this case maybe you're from Rockville Centre, Manhassat etc. you may have played college lacrosse, maybe even at a major DI program! In that case, you might be allowed to be an assistant coach but usually only in 2nd,3rd or 4th grade (or a girl's team) because the Pureblood(Slytherins) don't want any half-bloods or muggles messing with the way GC has been doing things since the glory days of Doc. Now if your son happens to be a superstar quidditch (or lacrosse) player he will play regardless for sure but, if he is on the cusp - Draco Malfoy gets the nod 9 times out of 10 and he is usually the one who ends up in the burning room (across from the AD)at the end the end of the story and his parents have to come and take him home...I hope this helps.
Why don't you get up from behind the keyboard that you are hiding behind, grab a whistle and volunteer your time like these so called oafs are doing. We are always looking for more volunteers to assist with our program. Boy, it must be a nice view from the cheap seat, huh.

False - Any GC resident can play for GC34. Most boys that are planning to go to Chaminade choose to play for Express since it is Chammy's and STA's feeder program. Much like GC34 is for the GC varsity team. It's all about choices...

Yes, they do. It's a "Scarlet letter"
Never show your sons cards or ever insinuate that Cham/ Kel/ St. A/ Friends is even a remote possibility. If your son is not part of the HS plan he is"out" in summer club scene.
In the past though, the kids from both GC and Cham played on some amazing club teams together.

Well,......lets see. Maybe the kid has actually said he wants to go to Chaminade. Maybe his three older brothers went to Chaminade. Maybe the kids parents have told their friends in town that they are going to send their son to Chaminade.
Lord knows none of that would ever be discussed by the GC lacrosse mafia, and we all know you have one.....every town has the guys that control the programs.
I don't even live in the town and I've known who was going to Chaminade.
And you should really consider some form of anger management.

The comparisons for GC to Harry Potter, is a little weird for my taste, but it is spot on.

got a phone call from the HC just because there was a rumor my 8th grade son might go elsewhere...he just wanted to make sure it wasn't true...so...there may be some validity to this.
That is the most ACCURATE analogy I have ever heard.
Hysterical and TRUE!
Especially the wife comment and PureBred part.
OMG Love It
you either "Live in GC" or "Are From GC" - BIG DIFFERENCE

Why don't you get up from behind the keyboard that you are hiding behind, grab a whistle and volunteer your time like these so called oafs are doing. We are always looking for more volunteers to assist with our program. Boy, it must be a nice view from the cheap seat, huh.

Who cares? Let's get back to HS lacrosse. Enough of the GC drama. Every town has it, this week it was GC's turn to have their disgruntled residents to air out their dirty laundry on this anonymous blog. Enough already.
Please give one thing in the statement that is not true about the GC youth program.
This is going on in almost every town at some level. Why do you think there is a whole cottage industry( club lacrosse) because dads got sick of the bs. Try having your son play attack in My town almost impossible unless you are on coaching staff.
And all high school coaches have way to much power.
They have union protecting them, and treat kids like crap.
No fear of repercussion- play favoritism, control what they say to collage coaches. Can make or break your son in so many ways.
The whole system sucks.
Now I do believe that they want to win so for the most part they play the best- but on every team there will be a certain number of players that are fairly equal- if your not connected you ride the bench the whole season like you can not play the game.

Although GC has hit the headlines, I'm quite sure that if other schools took the chance to travel like GC did, at least 50% of the programs would be busted for the same thing. This is not just a GC problem and if you don't believe it, you need to pick your head out of the sand. It's everywhere. Their arch rival town a few miles north is nearly a mirror image of GC from a demographic standpoint and in every other aspect including this issue. Just ask the boys, they know.

This is why I was happy that my son was fortunate enough to be committed prior to even playing varsity lax. He performed very well in showcases and elite club tournaments and was spared the politics as illustrated above

This is so true! The personal connections our hometown coach has with hometown parents is ridiculous. Parents and players attending his family functions. How is this a level playing field?

Hey GC Duke dad. This quote is on the wall at Duke. You left out the first line by the way. But I find it funny how you are quoting this and using a comparison because people are talking about a team of kids who smoke pot? That essay was intended about REAL men in a REAL struggle. Not a bunch of over privileged PH's. Makes you look foolish comparing them.

AGREED, That's them! I've seen it too. Very accurate. Either way, you are either in or you are out and some that think they are in, really are not and never will be. Very phony, lots of plastic.
Isn't the girls youth program is disarray? Something with the director was swept under the rug.
What goes on in GC goes on in almost every lacrosse town on Long Island, this is not special or unique in any way. If you think WI, Ward Melville, Northport, Smithtown, etc, are any better your crazy. Politics, favoritism, and nepotism has always been a part of youth sports and always will be. Get over it and tell your kid to work hard, get good grades and keep his nose clean. If youre not happy with his situation, send him somewhere else. There are great school options athletically and academically for people who want to get away from town politics.

Smithtown East destroyed West Islip, wasnt even a game, score could have been worse actually. Looks like East and Massapequa on a collision course for Long Island Championship.

He might be on the pipe but it is totally true! They went the usual route a sales and trading job on wall street that don't exist anymore. Their daddys got them jobs that their daddys got them. Now they are all unemployed and unemployable. They were all born on third base and now they're moving to Florida driving ice cream trucks.

Manhasset,

There you go.. I guess you know about "Real Men" haha..

He might be on the pipe but it is totally true! They went the usual route a sales and trading job on wall street that don't exist anymore. Their daddys got them jobs that their daddys got them. Now they are all unemployed and unemployable. They were all born on third base and now they're moving to Florida driving ice cream trucks.
I love Mister Softee!!
West Islip JV beat Smithtown east JV 10 to 8 but WI varsity got spanked...
West Islip beat Ward Melville. Back in the mix with Scotty Craig and the boys.
Smithtown East destroyed West Islip, wasnt even a game, score could have been worse actually. Looks like East and Massapequa on a collision course for Long Island Championship.

There are great school options athletically and academically for people who want to get away from town politics.
Better yet, get your son committed as early as possible. Sit back and watch the show. Play, don't play, who cares. Keep your son's chops up by playing in summer. With the exception of a hand full of districts, HS ball is god awful. Total step down from summer ball, coaches, kids and parents that have no clue. Parents hoping and praying there kids get some kind of HS glory... on a 6-8 mid level HS team. Total waste of time. I think if someone could put together a spring alternative for the highly competitive player, you probably could put together a few really good teams on LI. make it an alternative to the HS season. Go and play private prep schools. Would be such a great alternative to this garbage. Most of kids would be commits, so playing time could be spread out. No issues, no pay to play BS, no politics, just competitive lacrosse for competitive players. Please spare the HS glory crap. Like I said, with the exception of a hand full of teams. I know there are some good programs, ours, and many, many other aren't one of them.

Hilarious and totally true. I played lax against many of these GC toolbags in high school and later in college circa '86 through '91. A few had real athletic talent but most did not. Arrogant and entitled with their little GC Men's and Westhampton CC shirts. And yes, most got jobs on the Street because their daddy hooked them up. Now these clowns are ruining youth lax while looking for the next chapter in their "career". And by the Manhasset, you're in the same exact bucket. Interchangeable.
Who knows, maybe you have openings at the auto parts store in Mastic Beach where you schlep boxes?...help some of those toolbags out?

What you meant to say is that you lost to the GC toolbags in high school and in college and it still eats at you 30 years later. I guess counseling isn't working as well as you thought it would or maybe you need to up your meds. Move on and get your shinebox...

Yes, you got me. I'm gripped with jealousy and anger after all these years. Seems you have it all figured out GC daddy. My father was FDNY, grew up in Long Beach and yes, lost to GC in high school. Several times. Lost a few at the Naval Academy as well. It's all good. BTW, you can stop quoting Goodfellas now you phony tough guy.

18 year old MEN by the way, stop pampering them...old enough to enlist in the Army and responsible for their futures. It's refreshing to see this happen every so often so other kids can view this cautionary tale. Glad it wasn't swept under the rug like so much else that happens in GC that the Real Estate brokers and Village Trustees don't want you to know.

I'm still not getting all this GC stuff, what's the big deal? The town is best known for Roosevelt Field mall and is a stones throw from troubled neighborhoods. All this AND postage stamp size lots. No thanks.
East Queens... sold to you...
Yep, no place to keep your boat in the driveway or Z28 on blocks in front of house...hey, but at least you are near a Hooters, right?

Yeah thats pretty on the mark. Waiting for all the FLIDS to chime in about lifelong memories, blah blah blah
Again, I ask where do all of you live so we can discuss your town. As I predicted no one will own up. Cowards
Locust Valley. Driveways in our town are way to long, costs a ton to plow and I can't smell my neighbors bbq. Stinks. Oh, and too close to the water sometimes the smell of salt is in the air and I hate to breathe that. Football great season, School district has improved dramatically and lax program is developing nicely. Any further questions, please refer to my personal assistant.

What if nether come from GC and your wife works and you are a stay at home dad that has way to much time on your hands. This will not help your sons get more playing time.

Smithtown school district, St. James to be exact, which is HS East. Big house, plenty of property, NO CROWDS, great school district (both academics and athletics, good music program too). Pleasant people and a small town feel, lots of open space, vineyards, farms and trees. A bit of heaven here on LI to be honest. Actually, nevermind.....ummmm, it stinks out here. Stay in Queens, sorry, I meant West Nassau.

Just awesome. So impressive how you discredit and insult the entire town of West Islip! Love how you moronic GC people serve up material to the haters on a silver platter. Keep perpetuating the stereotype GC lax daddy - gives the rest of us great entertainment value!
Yo, nothing wrong with quoting movies.."now go get your shinebox..or I will force you to wear a Men's Club or Westhampton CC 3 button!!

Both towns with kids that have way too much money probably have more pot smokers on their lax teams than anybody. They should change the name of the woodstick to the woodspliff.

Can you imagine the peakcock show tomorrow between Darien, Manhasset, GC and Ridgefield? If you don't arrive in a Bently, there will be a shuttle bus for you from the offsite parking lot. More personal wealth in the stands than GDP of some decent size countries.

Let's not get carried away here. Anyway that wealth is shrinking quick due to the demise of the monkey equity sales / traders and bond jockeys. Bye bye LaRonde...

That's what I'm saying! Not from GC, but a different powerhouse. Not condoning it but that the laxbro! On my son's team the top performers indulge. Lots of things wrong and right in this world. Everyone has an opinion. Do your job and shut your mouth!

It's the gateway drug to others that are relentless killers.
Hopefully lesson learned by others: years of hard work can be un-done in an instant by one bad decision. Scary concept for any parent so natural for people to lash out with the holier than thou routine. I have teenagers and all have made mistakes and done stupid things....though fortunately not with drugs or alcohol. That is not to say that I might not be profoundly disappointed in them by the end of the weekend. Your job as a parent is never done and there is no such thing as a perfect teenager. It is right that these GC kids pay a price as an example to others of the consequences of this type of behavior. At the same time, be careful about espousing too much judgment regarding them and their parents.

I'm hearing rumblings that damage control is underway and the boys involved will receive just a few days suspension from practice. If this is the case, the AD should resign.. She has no control over any of the HS coaches most of who have been at GCHS for years. The programs are not nearly as successful as they were in years past or as they should/could be. Nepotism, favoritism,and plain old bulls$&@ are rampant on all varsiity teams. It's a disgrace to the community just like this situation is.
Shh...no one is supposed to know. The kids and parents all think they actually made the team because they are great!

The HC must take the brunt of the responsibility in this case. Yes, parents should have could have done better and are suffering as a result; but the players are under the wing of the coach.
This coach has a long history of mentally beating down players. He has poor interpersonal relation skills. The result of this over the years has been for the players to show him as much respect as he shows them. There has been a loss of honor and values that stem from coaches instilling these virtues into his players and the players having pride in displaying the same.

Friends turning their backs on each other and all the squabbling and political maneuvering... makes me sick. Most of the oafs involved were not much to speak of in their day to boot...joke.
This is worse on the girls side than the boys!
Is it true a freshman made the girls team without even trying out?

Come on. You sound like a mommy who never played sports and expects everyone to get a participation trophy. It seems you have your own agenda. How about put the kids in foster homes because their parents failed them. You see how ridiculous that sounds. You trying to blame the coach is just as ridiculous. He is a high school coach not their parents. It's always someone else's fault.

Absolutely right. The inbred "from here GC" parents are as immature as their kids. First sign of maturity is to blame no one but yourself. Sure the parents of the kid who got caught smoking dope and was thrown off the football team in the fall for drinking are the biggest culprits. If it wasn't so sad seeing all the loser lax daddy's and their laxmommys trying to figure out what to do with their lives other than being the laxboss it would be funny.
Mr. Moderater , can you please make a new thread for the GC drama. This is getting old. There are a lot of great games being played now mid season not getting airtime beach use of this nonsense. Thank you.

That's what I'm saying! Not from GC, but a different powerhouse. Not condoning it but that the laxbro! On my son's team the top performers indulge. Lots of things wrong and right in this world. Everyone has an opinion. Do your job and shut your mouth!
There's another powerhouse?
That's funny.....who's still calling GC a powerhouse? That ship has sailed. Have you seen their record and the last 8 pages of this site? Embarrassing.....and entertaining all at the same time. Keep it coming, don't change the thread. No one is stopping others from writing about towns and teams that aren't jokes...
Cool......a Back of the Cage-Match!
LAX meets MMA
LAX meets MMA
You can keep the better lacrosse team . I'll still enjoy my $2m house ha hahahah

You [lacrosse]. I would be around and aware of what my kid is doing. If it's happening at a hotel on a one day away event it's happening under your nose as a parent. Always ready to blame someone else. You expect the coach to parent your kid also. This is hysterical.

TAXES!
This thread is very disturbing. I do not know which kids were involved and don't care to know. To the people who are being negative to the coach, it is sad. Being a friend of his and a colleague, I have the utmost respect for him both as a coach and person. The student-athletes of Garden City should be proud to have him as a coach. His commitment to his team and players is amazing. He has a work ethic second to none. I would like to know what the coach and AD did wrong. Some people should be ashamed of themselves, not those 2. It is easy to write things without posting your name.
I am Proud to have coached with him and to call the Garden City coach a friend.

GC crushed today by Ridgefield. What has happened to this once mighty program? Not just GC, Chaminade too! Those 2014/2015 senior classes are sorely missed.

Just got too crowded.Too many immigrants. Trump's gonna straighten it out for us.
Sorry but the 2014/2015 classes did nothing.
It was the 2012 and 2013 classes that won back to back state championships with number 1 and 3 national rankings respectively.
Since then the GC teams have been a sorry bunch with over inflated egos.

Wow? lol. And you even grace us with your presence here...tool
No, many kids in GC quit lacrosse early in their high school career because if you are not one of the chosen disciples whose dad is a big donor to the program or a legacy of a former player at GC, chances are u will never see the field unless a blowout. This is a town that does not lift kids up, but discourages them with a lot of head games.
So why practice 6 days a week, miss vacations, and be perpetually abused by one of the nastiest coaches on the Island just to be a "practice player". Even the studs can't wait to get away from this jerk when their high school careers are over. Big mistake having a coach that grew up in the town as the head coach.

GC isn't the GC of old, and not the lax program. I grew up in Franklin Square just on the other side of the CC. The town was filled with Germans mostly but now its been over run by new immigrants from Pakistan, India, etc. Nassau county is going downhill.
No need to protect him. He is just a very good coach and person who did nothing wrong. I know what he does for his team and his players. I know how he prepares for each practice and game. Incomparable. End of story
please , enough already about GC. Yes a tough schedule, so don't play those teams if you cant win. If they play 5 great non conference teams , law of averages says they might win one or two. Look up who has owned Nassau B the last 2 or 3 years...Its been all Lynbrook and Set. Take a back seat GC!!!!

Same situation in my town. Small program, but same thing. Program suffers to make a few dads happy. They stay in town they grew up in, hire their hs buddy as coach, and then call the shots. Too bad.

GC isn't the GC of old, and not the lax program. I grew up in Franklin Square just on the other side of the CC. The town was filled with Germans mostly but now its been over run by new immigrants from Pakistan, India, etc. Nassau county is going downhill.

Don't worry, I heard Mangano is gonna build a Wall.
IS Mexico going to pay for it?
No - the hundreds of psycho lax dads who spend tens of thousands on youth lax to save some money on college. They can pony up
I do remember Manhasset having 6 loses before making a run to the state championship last year. Same idiots were calling out the town's coaches, players, parents, blah, blah, blah.
Every program has off years.

The coach is extremely negative and not a "builder" of men. Played various sports my whole life (including D1 lax) and have been coached by all kinds. it is not an easy job but the bottom line is the best coaches bring out the best in their teams. GC HC is verbally abusive at times and his players are scared to make a mistake. the team plays tight because of this. We all know you play better when you are allowed to take chances. How many transition goals have they scored this year?Not many. The vast majority of his ex players are not fans. I think that says something - they cant all be wrong. He also runs the youth program which is a conflict of interest since he is lining his pockets with a sub par product. Fro those that live in town- you know what i am talking about. for those that dont you will be critical- bottom line is that he is not a "good guy" , a person you want developing your child.
On Meadow St. Lol
Played for G.C. In the late seventies and I can't believe that the current Coach could be half as abusive as Doc was. Abusive both physically and mentally. He did whatever he wanted including having his son " adopted " by a family so he can attend the High School and play for his Dad. I think the difference was that the players that I played with were tougher mentally and our parents were not involved at all. There was no nonsense as far as playing time, the better players played. To the poster who commented about his 2M dollar home , you should take a ride up to the North Shore and look at some of the neighborhoods you might realize that G.C. Isn't all that. FYI not much pot smoking in my day but we drank ours asses off ! At the time it was a great place to grow up. Nothing but great memories.
If you dont like the program go play on a travel team where they take your money and dont care who you are. All your comments are telling me is that your son is not a very good lax player. HC is a great guy,I played with him in HS and he is a great teacher, coach and family man in my opinion.
Does the AD and administration know that GC head coach runs the youth program and how much money he is making on that?
really?
Obviously the AD knows
so does the HC care about who you are? or is it only if he played with or knows you? you are a very lucky guy must be a "Slytherin"

This goes on in most varsity sports in GC. It's rampant in football baseball and lax on the boys side for just the reasons said here. On the girls side it exists too but Instead of the father/son thing it's the sister and field hockey favorites thing. Its out of control.

Like everything else in life, it's not what you know, it's who you know. Why would it be any different here or at any other high school for that matter. Wake up and accept it for what it is. It's never going to change.
He may be, but if you can't see the conflict in interest you are not a bright man or you have blinderson
Thay are deluded into loving their land locked measured in feet plots in GC (East Queens). Granted there are a few very nice streets that give GC its rep as a "rich town" and after that the overwhelming majority is like any other cookie cutter nassau town.
I would think that there is full disclosure..similar to Chanenchuk St Anthony's and Moran at Chaminade owning the Express..
The last 30 pages of this thread are nothing more than a classic example of
Schadenfreude: revelling n the GC program's misfortune.
And, as for "cookie cutter" -- well, you Suffolk folks forget that GC is the rare combination of superior athletics AND academics, not one or the other. And, I'll take my cookie cutter if it means I don't need to look at someone's boat or commercial vehicle parked next to my driveway all day. And, that 37 minute commute to Penn isn't bad either.

Good for you. To each their. Lower your nose a tad though...you are middle class too, just working to pay the bills. Don't kid yourself with your loafers perpetrating some sort of well to do image... Only difference between us likely is I ain't trying to keep up with the Jones or caring too much about what everyone else thinks...
Are we really going to go here?
It isn't enough that we spend the last weeks on brow beating everyone for some mistakes made by kids... Now we have to do the "my life is better than yours" routine?!!?
Are you guys for real? If I didn't know better I would swear that you were 16 years old, the way you act.. Grow up already!!!

Look, at the end of the day, lacrosse is a competitive sport with every [lacrosse] parent thinking they could do better. If a coach favors someone he likes over a strong player, he is going to get beaten by a coach that just plays the best players. Playing weaker favorites is self defeating. I've never seen so much sour grapes in a blog before

Do you think this incident of illegal activity will hurt your national ranking?
Can we please Get back to lacrosse talk? What games are good this week? Newsday has top 3 rankings as Anthony's, then smith east then CSH ( wth) followed by Pequa. How does CSH fit in the top 5? Who they even play?

Smithtown school district, St. James to be exact, which is HS East. Nice house, plenty of property, NO CROWDS, great school district (both academics and athletics, good music program too). Pleasant people and a small town feel, lots of open space, vineyards, farms and trees. A bit of heaven here on LI to be honest. Oh yeah, doesn't mean as much to us out here but you seem to use it a a measurement so I'll mention it, plenty of big expensive houses out here too. Waterfront, riverfront, you name it. So while it may not be ranked as high on a magazine's list (embarrassing that you are using that but I'll stick with your narrative), it CERTAINLY provides a much more well rounded area to raise a family. But you go on enjoying your little patch of land in Queens and your once great district, we'll keep progressing out here on the north shore of Suffolk, truly living the good life.

Won the class C state championship (19-1) last year beating manhasset , Babylon , pleasantville and Casanova along way. Then best Long Island A champs syosset this year. That should get them in conversation for top 5!
Never asked about the house asked about where the district ranked. Keep it to the question, where does the district rank?
Smithtown East, do you even have sidewalks? Septic tank too, get real. What's embarrassing about someone using a national magazine ranking? Every college in the country uses the same one. Guess Harvard and Princeton should be embarrassed as well. Why is it more well rounded? If the ranking is for 2015 how is it a once great district? It's a CURRENT ranking. Smithtown East doesn't even rank. Taxes are very high, rundown houses because no one is made to keep them up. Come on no comparison.
when did this site become about real estate/houses vs lacrosse?
How about the asses that need to knock other people's town, go to Craigslist Rant and Rave.
How about the asses that need to knock other people's town, go to Craigslist Rant and Rave.
Do any of you morons know how they calculate the ranking? It doesn't mean much!
Soooo,
I guess the soph middie line at WM DOES know how to shoot/dodge/score
etc.....nice win. Fact: This coach plays the Best players to win. Nice job today. Get right back to practice field tomorrow & keep getting better.

Taxes through the roof and lets not even talk about the commute if you have to go West of 110 every day. If youre independently wealthy sure Long Island is a great place, but if not its a overpriced, overrated mess. About all we have here worth anything is good food, a couple of decent beaches and some decent lacrosse that most of you people try to ruin with your nonsense. Theres great lacrosse and great places to live all over this country that wont break your bank or take years off your life commuting..,......

Why even post this? Let them enjoy the win without the sarcasm. Shameful post and BTW it wasn't just the sophs who were on the field!
What's up with the Hempstead comment? Typical Smithtown trash racist redneck loser. All because Smithtown doesn't rank at all, and by the way SE has 9% of the total school population as financially disadvantaged, wow great place to live. Try again, been there, unimpressed. Sorry jealous little man.
WM 13-12 over Smithtown E. Both teams are very good. Great game.

You should stop. You're embarrassing yourself and GC.
That is enough of this. I will delete all posts coming in trashing each others towns.. This is stupid and you guys need to get a grip!
Smithtown East, both very good teams good hard fought win for WM.

WM wanted it more today than the Bulls of Smithtown East. I have seen quite a few WM games this year (Chaminade, Yorktown, SE) and have to say there is a lot of talent with these Patriots. Might not have the household names like years past, but kids like DELETED are making names for themselves. However, the attack tends to take a back seat most games as almost all of Melvilles offense is run through the midfield. Could be a problem for them later in the season. Lastly, felt WM did a great job at the X today. They might not have won a lot of the faceoffs, but they did stop transition and make them 50/50 balls. Props to the WM DELETED
Kind of ironic.......one guy lives in St. James and the other guy drinks at St. James. You would think they would be friends.
Both top teams. Both played well. Smithtown East, WM, WI and Smithtown West all top teams in Suffolk. Playoffs should be interesting.

Are you kidding? I defend everyone, all the time. It is not ok to trash anyone, these are youth players after all.
There is another thing that you should all know.. I have absolutely no dog in any of the fights here.. My son played soccer. It should make you all feel good to know that I have no emotional ties to lacrosse.
I find it very interesting that this whole GC fiasco hasnt drawn any media attention. Not one peep on social media or the regular print, TV or digital media. I guess they did a good job of keeping it in house.
On a separate note, interesting article from the Washington Post about a Senior lax player at the Bullis School in MD that got thrown out of school for recording a video in which he made racist comments. Kids parents claim he was reciting a scene from a Tarantino movie and didnt know he was being recorded. Kid was 2 months from graduating...........

Ironically, St. James is in Mineola. Nevertheless, a good spot. I liked it much more way back before it was remodeled about 20 years ago.
Chaminade would have expelled the boys before they even made it back from NJ!

WM faceoff was their weakest spot. which is why they will have a tough time with Smithtown West and Connetquot.

Easy holier than thou... Chaminade kids are no different than any other kid. For the record: I saw with my own eyes, a Chaminade grad, college lacrosse player, sharing a joint on the way back to a dorm after a game. Right out in the open in broad daylight, no shame, no concern, no fear. Kid could have lost spot on the team, been thrown off campus, or even removed from school. BTW, this wasn't at some backwater school either...

Garden City keeps all of that under wraps so the keep the real estate prices up and maintain the phoney façade of the perfect little Village. They are all in on the scam, the Village Board, the Administrator, the cops, the school board and the bogus local newspaper. It is a diabolical plot, but I have to give them credit that it works.

So, they can because they are private, so what. Suddenly the Brothers (men in dresses), would be such tough guys. I don't recall in my version of the bible where Jesus was one to rush to judgment. I recall stories of a man who worked with the imperfect among us.
CAN SOMEOME PLEASE TALK ABOUT THE GAME OF LACROSSE !!!! jeez...
You seriously want the NY Times or ABC news to report on six kids smoking marijuana? You actually think that is a story? Seriously I am absolutely floored that someone thinks that this is worthy of the media. It was kept in house because it is a non issue. They killed no one, they stole nothing, they offended no one. What pray tell did these monsters do that merits media attention? Give me a break. Go vote and make America great again.

Which is rather Ironic, considering a few miles down the road the Potus had Rick Ross at the White House as guest to speak about opportunities for Black men. I implore you all to do a little research on Mr. Ross with regard to his criminality. Further, I suggest you further examine the lyrics of his songs. I suggest you would lose count on the number of times he uses the n-word, references drugs, gun violence and or the denigration of women. In addition, I'm sure there are racist references to white people and the police. Surely this is the kind of individual that should be floating around the White House. Yet, some white kid says something, most likely in jest, and this is the outcome... Some society we live in. Hopefully all you self loathing liberals will remember this kind of crap when you go vote. Because when you and yours make a mistake, your liberal credentials won't help you out in the least...
Faceoffs may have been WM's weakest spot but they can't Lose many more than they did yesterday and yet they still found a way to cope. Speaks to the strength of their defense imo
The original poster is clearly missing something......that is good TV. If the racist chants at Bullis HS were not on video, they would never made the news media. IF the GC kids were on video smoking, they would also have media. It is not a GC thing being kept quiet, it is that a video makes something a better news story. I assume the poster knew this, but just wants to [lacrosse] and moan.
This post is about a lacrosse game! can we please screen posts like this so we dont have to miss any about the days of our lives and real housewives of GC
Wait, five teenagers smoking pot is newsworthy? The press should report on this?? What papers do you read?

Again this poster is missing "reading comprehension", never said I though it was news, I said Im surprised it didnt garner any attention given the current state of our society when it comes to vilifying young successful kids from affluent areas.

I suggest you would lose count on the number of times he uses the n-word, references drugs, gun violence and or the denigration of women. In addition, I'm sure there are racist references to white people and the police. Surely this is the kind of individual that should be floating around the White House. Yet, some white kid says something, most likely in jest, and this is the outcome... Some society we live in. Hopefully all you self loathing liberals will remember this kind of crap when you go vote. Because when you and yours make a mistake, your liberal credentials won't help you out in the least...
What position does this Rick Ross play?

I assume the poster knew this, but just wants to [lacrosse] and moan.
The original poster is missing "common sense" when he thinks 18 year olds smoking pot is news in any place other than BOTC.
Again this poster is missing "reading comprehension", never said I though it was news, I said Im surprised it didnt garner any attention given the current state of our society when it comes to vilifying young successful kids from affluent areas.
Kind of like what you and the other BOTC posters are doing?
He is a middie. Good left.

Yeah, let's try to keep all the drama in the Chaminade thread.
lol
So, it is ok to trash Chaminade?
Et tu Larry?
Are you kidding? I defend everyone, all the time. It is not ok to trash anyone, these are youth players after all.
There is another thing that you should all know.. I have absolutely no dog in any of the fights here.. My son played soccer. It should make you all feel good to know that I have no emotional ties to lacrosse.
Yes
I was kidding.
Flyer parents are use to it by now.
No harm no foul (or red card, for you)

I agree, they are an irritating bunch and yes, if you're not on the inside, you're outside, but C'mon, diabolical plot ! I do however have to laugh at those wannabe Camelot clothing styles. Just Love that loafers with no socks and shorts look.
Loafers with no socks is Long Beach, never seen it in Garden City and lived here over 50 years.

Yes Cham would spell but so would Friends, Portledge, St. Ants, k-berg, Sacred Heart, St. Droms, and St. Mary's if it happened there.
Then it becomes a transfer issue for another place.
However some of the schools mentioned might accept these kids as transfers.
Looking at you St. Dons.

As opposed to all those other towns in Long Island where the uniform is t-shirt, no sleeves or white undershirt and cut off lee jeans. Yeah that's a great look, don't forget the Oakley sunglasses and the Camaro with the kickin hood scoop. Oh yeah and love the NB walker sneakers with white tube socks pulled up HIGH
It's has been very quiet over @ S.East after there loss to WM yesterday
It was all funny until you said "tube socks"!!

loafers no socks in long beach ? not a chance either barefoot or flip flops
Smithtown East and WM both played well. They only lost by 1. Both teams top Long Island teams. Playoffs should be competitive and add West Islip and Smithtown West to the mix. Commack may even surprise a few.

Commack is a pretender. Harborfields, Middle Country, Pat Med, N. Bab, Brentwood, Copiague. 9-42 combined record. Stop it already!
He does make winners and wait and see what happens when WI plays SW.

I have. Sometimes one might also notice a sports coat in addition to this snappy "No socks" look ! Keep up the good work amusing to the rest of us.
jeans white sneakers and wife beater tanks are a great look. Dont forget ur red cups and ur negativity on the sidelines. Now thats the truth...i have pictures of u and ur crew..lmfao
I guess your barbed wire tattoo and your wife's tramp stamp wouldn't really work well with the classic preppy look. Please share with us your bowling alley chic fashion tips.

Still No love for Quott? SWest should be hungry this year, almost lost in the first round of the playoff last year then came back and beat Quott. SW needs to stay hungry, suffolk semi finals shouldn't seem unrealistic. But with SE WM and Quott as the top teams and 1 spot for SW, Hills and WI will could be a good run at the end.
What teams play spoiler for the above runs?
Commack West Islip today should answer a few questions

Have you seen Quot play? You don't almost lose - you either win or you lose. Quot lost in first round of playoffs last year and has not had a real competitive schedule except sw this year - which they won by one. See what happens over the next 3 weeks.

Quott did not lose in the first round, they had the bye. SW almost did (6-5) and was fired up and beat Quott. Now Quott was hungry this year and beat them. Lookinm to be a nice little rivalry.
yes these next few weeks preps for the playoff
a few interesting games tonight any updates?
Haup v Cswogue
JJ v Somers
Kberg v Chammy
LL/panas v 'pac
Mamo v Pelham
SWR v SET
STA v SJB
Haup v Cswogue
JJ v Somers
Kberg v Chammy
LL/panas v 'pac
Mamo v Pelham
SWR v SET
STA v SJB
No more nonsense or we will lock thread again. Some great games over the next few days so lets keep it to lacrosse.
Not sure I agree with the latest ranking polls. How is Manhasett in the top 25 and not Massapequa ?
As long as you win your last game of the season by 1 goal, who cares about rankings??
Cham K-Berg score?
Cham 9
Kellenberg 4
Kellenberg 4
WI won

In pressed with SJB's Defense. Very good in the 1st and part of the 2nd quarter. But as the last poster, posted way to much for them. SJB's middies played well but attack not very good. If they had a stronger attack it could have been a little closer. The difference in the programs many more quality kids.

If I may rant for a minuet. Recently, on both the boys and girls high school threads, I have seen comments to people {being anonymous we don't know the ages or profession of anyone} about attending H.S. games. In some situations an attendee either didn't have a child on either team, or stayed at a tournament longer than some felt appropriate to watch other teams play, or traveled a distance some would see as too far, or voided a game for "scouting" purposes. These people were vilified by others, and even called derogatory names for watching a sport the love. Why is it only lacrosse parents do this. If someone went to watch a football game, or a basketball game between two good teams no one would care or say a word. Who are these parents to hijack a public sporting event and slander people for loving a sport. Are they the same people that complain that Lacrosse isn't popular enough and should receive more attention, while excluding anyone without a direct interest in any particular game. Shame on you for calling someone a "perv" or a "loser" for watching a game they love. I bet you're the same person making March Madness brackets at your office, does that also make you a
"perv" or a "loser" for watching that sport with no child involved. Maybe if we welcomed people into watch our children play the sport we all love it will grow and become bigger, instead of pointing fingers at people and calling fans names.

I understand the point but there was also a point to those responding - if you were at Staples last week it was for a reason. Not just a weekend drive as a spectator to see a game. I am all for seeing a game that is nearbye, but the travel and traffic to staples is a bit much for just watching a game as a fan.

I live about a half an hour from Manhasset and i do not have a kid on Manhasset or CSH but was thinking about going over on Monday night to watch the game, would that be OK in your book or should I stay away? not sure were the cut off is.
Syosset beat SWR in overtime, overcoming a big deficit and handing the team their first loss. Way to battle boys!

I agree with the previous poster. my son and myself, separately, have attended rival games to size up the opponents, to hear patents of opposing team mutter "what the [lacrosse] is he doing here?"

Not necessarily , Syosset always seems to be a 2nd half team in competitive games. Last year's team was the same way. They just seem to start slow and then all of a sudden come alive. Sometimes I don't think it says anything about the other team it just shows you can't get too comfortable if you think you have a good lead when playing Syosset.

In pressed with SJB's Defense. Very good in the 1st and part of the 2nd quarter. But as the last poster, posted way to much for them. SJB's middies played well but attack not very good. If they had a stronger attack it could have been a little closer. The difference in the programs many more quality kids.
And how about faceoffs?

Why? I was at a football tournament in NJ, an older woman was there, her husband had been a huge contributor to the HS football program in years past. He had passed away, yet she continued to attend. She said watching HS football was the highlight of her year, she had always gone, and always would. By herself, no children/grandchildren of her own in attendance. I would say she was about 65-70 years old. Is she a pervert? Give it a rest.

The game before that, Comsewogue held them to only 4 goals and it took a double overtime for SWR to squeak out a win.

Faceoff kid was very good. Won a lot of the battles but didn't end up with the ball because of the LSM's? The LSM position is not as strong. Looks like there are 2 under classmen at LSM? freshmen or Soph? Just too small and not mature enough physically to compete on the Varsity yet. They look very tentative and were knocked all over when they went to get the ball.

Any pervert worthy of being called a pervert would have a kid with him, it just wouldn't be his.
Seriously, there is absolutely nothing perverted about going to a Youth sporting event without having a kid participating. I will occasionally stop and watch a little tykes soccer match to remind me of how innocent sport can be. I smile when I see the kids smile. I will go to HS games because I enjoy them, and they were a huge part of my life for years.
As to the notion of scouting games, I think it is all about age. At the HS level, sure why not......any younger and you are probably taking the whole thing a touch too seriously.
Delbarton over St. Anthony's today. Summti beat Delbarton in 3OT to start the season and remain undefeated. Bridgewater beat GC and also are undefeated. These 3 NJ teams are very good and can play with anybody. Probably Ridgewood too. Top NJ teams still underrated despite entering top end of national polls and by many on this board.

Only thing your missing is that St. A is not a top team, so the win doesn't prove much

Has anybody heard whether kids were told they would be in Haverford and than didn't get in? I know this has been happening repeatedly over the last 3 or 4 years and just want to know if it happened this year. Amazing that a school that prides itself on a honor code would allow their Men's Head Coach to lie to 17 year olds each year.
Just let me know. Hope it didn't happen again

Not too many people care to be honest...next subject...how good is CSH? Is Locust Valley just as good or is it the soft schedule? The game between these two should be great. Once CSH beat Syoset it changed everything.

Undefeated playing a weak schedule maybe. Not one of the better tri state teams by any means!

When you comit to a school , coach is promising you a roster spot IF and WHEN you get in. Getting in , is up to the kid , not the coach. There may be a little curve for an athlete , but not much in the better academic schools.

Are we talking about D3 Haverford college? Or Haverford Prep school?
D3 Haverford college. No disrespect meant to the Prep School
Kids have ONE shot and one school to apply early admissions. When a coach says your kid is "in" and it has been approved by admissions, you should be accepted unless your grades drop dramatically or you have another extreme problem. "getting in is up to the kid, not the coach" is 100% wrong. You really have no idea what you are talking about. I've been thru this with 3 lacrosse players, 2 boys, one girl, 2 Div 1, 1 Div 3, and if a coach told me my kid was in, and than he was rejected, like it appears has happened at Haverford, I would be beyond upset. I'm just correcting this comment from the writer so no one is misled by someone who's kid obviously hasn't gone thru the process. When a coach says you are "done" and you apply ED, you should be in 99.99% of the time.

Had two kids go throug d 1. Coaches say you are in as long as you maintain this GPA and get this on your sat. It's a modified number but kid has to do their part. 100 percent of the time. Not coaches fault. It's two way deal.

But a ton of disrespect levied at Haverford College.
Not unheard of that admissions doesn't quite see the value in a kid that a coch does, especially if his last semester is an academic disaster.

Where does it say it was an ED situation? The OP is asking in mid April, which to me means it was a standard decision time event. Plenty of coaches, especially without scholarships to be determined, will tell a kid "I have a spot for you, and I will push for you, I doubt there will be any problems....make sure you keep your grades up". And the parents hear "you're in".
I also heard this about Haverford. And heard it from multiple people. I personally know of two kids who kept their grades up and both were told by the Haverford HC they were "done" and than didn't get in. One year apparently Haverford only took two of the ten kids they told were "done". Just be careful if you are dealing with Haverford. That's all I'm saying.
BS. Sour grapes. Keep your grades up and stop crying !

Nah. creepy. Nice job checking first. That's how you avoid an incident.
"sour grapes"? You really need to demonstrate your ignorance. It is Div 3. you make your agreement with coaches in Oct, apply Dec 1st and hear Jan 15th? You think 2nd quarter grades after 9th 10th and 11th grades make a difference. You obviously know little about the recruitment process...........and that is coming from someone who has never had a kid apply to Haverford but as a Youth Lacrosse Coach have followed the process well. As a recruiter for my Div 1 school, the grades can drop since commitments go out 10th and 11th grade, even 9th now, but for div 3, 12 weeks of grades are not a factor. Learn what you are talking about.

Not to mention that Haverford is a train wreck on the lax field. Great school to be sure but terrible lacrosse wise. There are much more competitive programs academically and lacrosse wise in the NESCAC and other conferences. If you have the grades to get into Haverford you can certainly get into Tufts or Bates, and play competitive lacrosse and get a degree from a great academic institution as well.

i agree, the term I have heard is a coach saying they are "supporting" your application

Glad it worked out for your kids but you are wrong, only admission can tell you that you are in, lots of stories of laxers thinking they were safe at Ivies, NESCAC and ACC's only to not be accepted
If you're talking to an Ivy, ask when you can expect a "Likely Letter". That is their commitment letter, which has the blessing of admissions. They are always honored, provided the kid maintains grades and doesn't get in trouble. If the coach won't give you the Likely, but says he's supporting you, I would be careful.
the term "supporting your application" is not really what you need. You need to verify that the coach has spoken with admissions liason for that sport, all sports have a admissions liason, and that admissions officer has ok'ed the application. A college coach saying "supporting" is not good enough in my book.

If the college is taking a kid in 9th grade, the grades can tank or no need to see grades after commitment, kid can still gain admission? Hmm I would question the quality of the school at that point.
Sad news on the lacrosse front. Former GC standout and current Hoya defenseman Ed Blatz Jr. passed away.
Tragic. I really hope there can be no stupid/insensitive comments.

If the college is taking a kid in 9th grade, the grades can tank or no need to see grades after commitment, kid can still gain admission? Hmm I would question the quality of the school at that point.
If your questioning the quality of the school, perhaps you should look into Basketball and Football recruits at some the most prestigious schools? See what kind of grades a recruit needs at Michigan, ND, Duke, UNC etc, etc. I assure, you not even close to the average admitted student.

Absolutely heart breaking, so sorry to hear. Really puts things right back in perspective. RIP and prayers for the family during this incredibly difficult and sad time.
So sad to hear! Seems we lose a couple of these amazing young men every year. Heartbreaking!

Just let me know. Hope it didn't happen again
Just let me know. Hope it didn't happen again
Not too many people care to be honest...next subject...how good is CSH? Is Locust Valley just as good or is it the soft schedule? The game between these two should be great. Once CSH beat Syoset it changed everything.
My son's team played and lost to both CSH and LV. Game should be very close. LV is a much more physical team and has a better attack group. CSH midfield is better. LV goalie is better and defense is about the same, both very good.
Not too involved wiht the GC Gtown tragedy but HS parents check your kids phones, ton of info on there. Was in a circle of parents this past weekend, one parent was visibly horrified by what another was saying about their child, all captured and documented on Snap Chat. Ignorance isn't always bliss.
Manhasset took a spanking from CSH, who look like they will repeat as class C champs. Still don't think anyone can beat Victor for A. Thoughts on B?

11-7, came back after being down 4-0, in part due to x control by 5'5" Jr.!

Set better figure out how to face off because their defense and goalie were weak last night.

Locust Valley 111th toughest schedule in NY. Who you play matters.
They have 3 top 10's on schedule just like CSH, Manhasset , Farmingdale and Garden City. Looks like Syosset has 4. Can't control your league games.
Nassau B is strong as ever. Both Set and GC have played crazy out of conference games. Add an always strong Lynbrook team, and Wantagh and Bethpage, Nassau B is solid. They actually have it unfair compared to other conferences making it to the county finals. They have to play one or two extra games to get it to county final. They will be battle tested. CSH and Locust Valley have very strong teams this year and looking forward to that match up. Nassau A is top heavy again with an added Farmingdale team to Syosset and Pequa.
GC? They look horrible this year. Will lose to Manhassett and Long Beach and go out in second or third round of Nassau playoffs. Just like last year. And no hope in sight for that team.

Don't include Smithtown West.
And never give up on Scotty Craig- he make winners.
Commack is a pretender. Harborfields, Middle Country, Pat Med, N. Bab, Brentwood, Copiague. 9-42 combined record. Stop it already!
Ok - Hills East instead of commack and SW is included
Still No love for Quott? SWest should be hungry this year, almost lost in the first round of the playoff last year then came back and beat Quott. SW needs to stay hungry, suffolk semi finals shouldn't seem unrealistic. But with SE WM and Quott as the top teams and 1 spot for SW, Hills and WI will could be a good run at the end.
What teams play spoiler for the above runs?
Have you seen Quot play? You don't almost lose - you either win or you lose. Quot lost in first round of playoffs last year and has not had a real competitive schedule except sw this year - which they won by one. See what happens over the next 3 weeks.
Oh yeah, how do you like them now. and for clarification it was SW who almost lost. Connetquot had a bye in the first round. Stay hungry and healthy.
Quott wins dispite the refs. yes I said it. BS calls at the end. They should have won in regular game.
SE vs SW going to OT

those 2 games are how they are supposed to be. WOW! great games shame one had to lose!
West wins!
Nice to see West find a way to win at the end. Their losses are all 1 point losses. All in games they had a significant leads. Find a way to keep the pedal down. Maybe some fresh legs in 2nd and 3rd? Need to use your bench now and stay healthy and fresh for the run!
this just made Saturday out in Suffolk a bit more exciting. How many college coaches will try to find their way to the island sidelines. Connetquot v Smith East And Smith West v Ward Melville. Upstate can West genee rebound against a strong j Dewitt? Ct Darian New Cannan... weather looks good
5/3 looks to be a good day for competition in nassua, along with the 2nd installment of the Crusaders classic. to bad the weather looks like rain!
So much more teams looking to stay alive and make the cut for the playoffs.
SPRING HAS SPRUNG LAX FANS ENJOY THE GAMES!

stop complaining about the officiating and enjoy a hard-earned win. officiating, good and/or bad is part of the game just like injuries, and every team finds itself on either side of questionable call or two during a season. there were no flagrant bad calls at the end of the game. you won - enjoy it and move on. there are about 5 or 6 teams in this division that could beat any other team on any given day. nobody has separated themselves from the pack regardless of their record. if you think im wrong, you haven't been watching enough Suffolk A lacrosse. Congrats, and get back to work
What is going on at Kellenberg?

Didnt see the game and have no rooting interest either way, but I have to say that on the whole the quality of officiating at the youth and high school level is abysmal. You would think being that here on Long Island we have one of the largest concentration of club teams and middle and high school teams in the country there would be a plethora of quality officials, which is just not the case.

I would say four maybe five teams have a chance to win the county championship. This might be the first time that I can remember there being more than three or four teams most years there are only two or three teams. The top teams are always strong but beyond that not so much.
This year it looks like:
Connetquot
Smithtown West
Smithtown East
West Islip
Ward Melville
Overall I think The Island is a little off this year in terms of really strong teams.
I would also Watch
Hills east and WW- Both could upset and beat any one on given day

I am not from Quott, saw and admired them last year. Saw them get no credit and saw the game. They deserved the win. Who knows what happens the next few days, and yes I have been watching plenty all over the state and from week to week you never know what is going to happen because their is no consistency but it is all good.
As far as refs, Quott gets raw deal. Think Jordan rules. I will say if a hit like what happened at the end of the East/West game up top middie to middie (which wasn't called against east - not sure if a call should have been made - but if it was a player from Quott against anyone it is called) and yes I have watched plenty of A games.
I'll post later about what is happening in Nassua C next. All over the island.

Not sure I agree about the last time there were more than 3/4 teams, last year you had the same teams plus Northport. An injury to them late in the season "hurt" them.
Just curious. Does sec 11 have a review board on there officials. I've seen some really bad officials this year that truly don't have a clue about the game of lax. I know there human but that goes only so far. We have some of the best lax in the country with the worst officials. Just doesn't jive.

I agree any one of them could do it. Lot of one goal games. Connetquot beating WM yesterday with a lot of injuries. Both goalies were awesome. Shame someone had to lose that one.

The coach is terrible. Get him outta there and maybe more kids would go there and it would help the school's finances. Nobody want's to play for him. Nasty guy. By having him there it's actually hurting the school's finances too.
Great question, if not they should. I know JV level is small time, but I have to say the officiating at the JV level is so horrific it actually impedes the game and the learning process for the kids. I know they are only human but it seems like basic knowledge of the rules of the game are lacking in many cases. For LI Lacrosse we need to do better!

Agreed, HHHEast in playoff hunt (maybe HHHwest too, could be dangerous if they make it) but lets see how Saturday goes, if WW beats Commack badly I agree, lose or just win not sure.
best of the rest. no real change since LY outside of Northport
WW v Com
BS v Sachem N
Sachem East - tough schedule ahead think they miss the cut.

No doubt, definitely rethink the commute if in Suffolk, SJB or St A's.
Check out the MSG Varsity website and their footage of the CSH-Manhasett game...CSH coach punches a kid in the helmet while they were in a huddle. The guy is nuts and this has to be the final nail in his coffin.

Terrible idea. So the best Long Island teams will have a very slim chance to win NYS. The conferences will be won by weak teams who will get crushed in states. The super league winner will be gassed from a ridiculously hard schedule. Result.......no states for Long Island. Leave well enough alone.

The super league would only be for regular season, all teams return to the correct division for playoffs and all teams in the super conference make the playoffs regardless of record in league play, great idea and better for everybody involved.

A High School lacrosse team will not be "gassed" because they play a hard schedule. They play about 2x per week on average. Come on, this is ridiculous.
Super leagues will not affect who wins Sections and goes to the State tournament. In the playoffs, the teams will play according to their enrollment (A, B, C), just like they do now. The best teams will still win, and will not be tired for a game against Yorktown simply because they played Ward Melville, et al in April. The Super League will simply allow for better games during the regular season. In fact, it will improve a LI teams chances of doing well at States simply because they will have more experience playing against the type of teams they will need to beat.
The only material difference may be that a team that compiles a top record in a non-super league may take a playoff spot away from a team at or near the bottom of the super league. So what - such team wasn't going to win states anyway.
He's doing a good job... Maybe bringing in an assistant Next year- a SJB alum.

it is a great idea in theory but a team like the 2015 Connetquot isn't in a super series in 2015 but should be (since their last 4 games in 2014 were all 1 pt loses).
If you had it in 2016 A 2 teams within the grouping of Floyd, Lindy, North Bab, Pat Med or Middle Country might make the playoff due to record, but a team like HHHW Walt Whitman or Bay Shore wouldn't because they would be in the super serious and lose most if not all games and not have enough points but are clearly better than the lower tier grouping.
I think the scheduling this year wasn't so bad, don't think the super series would really change much.
I do think the NY state championships need to change. Postpone the LI championship game until after the playoffs or if they are the last two standing the NY State game is the game. We are robbing our boys the chance at the opportunity.
Do you think Nisky would won if they had to go through SE before Syo. Or if the brackets worked its way to Nisky meeting Syo first then do yo think they would have beat SE. I don't!
CHANGE THE STATE PLAYOFF FORMAT!!!!!
Love tap? It was a full out hit while yelling at him to "shut the f**k up". Never okay to put your hands on a kid. Totally unacceptable.
Commack FO/Middie out for that game. WW should have it easy.

Just so I have this right, you're going allow an anonymous poster's comments, which you have no idea if they have merit, influence your family's decision on where your son should attend HS.
Retread his comment, then think about what he said......do you think he may have a problem with the coach because his kid doesn't play? Do you really think the admissions at Kellenberg are impacted by their lacrosse coaching staff? Is he spending too much on athletic talent? Lax balls? Are their uniforms too nice? How in God's name do you tie the lacrosse coach to the schools finances?
It reads like that guy has listened to too many Donald Trump speeches.

Not a great guy! brow beats the kids same personalty as the Kellenberg coach. Has a bad reputation with his LI Rebels. Took money for tournaments and would not give it back when team folded? Had to chase him to get it back.
Coach should be disciplined. NEVER put your hands on a kid.

True, look at what happened to the Princeton coach, barely bumped player on the other team and next day.. he go the boot, should be the same for HS coaches, they should actually be held to a higher standard since HS players are considered to be kids while college players are men.

Not a great guy! Verbally brow beats the kids same personalty as the Kellenberg coach. Has a bad reputation with his LI Rebels. Took money for tournaments and would not give it back when team folded? Had to chase him to get it back.

It was a love tap...cut it out. Coaches do that a lot and kids do not mind at all. Neither should the parents.
This made me laugh. Decades ago, when Chaminade played football at Hofstra, the head coach (Tom Kiley) was caught on video tape also. We had scored, and as the players on the sideline were celebrating and running from one end of the sideline to the other, Kiley was trying to get the extra point play from the coaches up in the booth. Back then the phone was just that, a handset with a cord. Well John Sherman got tangled up in the cord, and as her ran he was pulling the handset away from Kiley's ear. Kiley fought the tension as long as he could until he turned and whacked Sherman on his helmet three or four times.
You could lip read on the tape, "Goddamn it Sherman!!!!".
He was so wrapped up in the game he didn't even remember it. We told him we had the proof, my Mom filmed everything, and showed it at team dinner at end of season. Actually we showed it about 20 times that night, as it had the whole room cracking up.
No one was hurt, no one was upset, no public outcry....just a bunch of teenagers laughing with their coach.

Terrible idea. So the best Long Island teams will have a very slim chance to win NYS. The conferences will be won by weak teams who will get crushed in states. The super league winner will be gassed from a ridiculously hard schedule. Result.......no states for Long Island. Leave well enough alone.
A High School lacrosse team will not be "gassed" because they play a hard schedule. They play about 2x per week on average. Come on, this is ridiculous.
Super leagues will not affect who wins Sections and goes to the State tournament. In the playoffs, the teams will play according to their enrollment (A, B, C), just like they do now. The best teams will still win, and will not be tired for a game against Yorktown simply because they played Ward Melville, et al in April. The Super League will simply allow for better games during the regular season. In fact, it will improve a LI teams chances of doing well at States simply because they will have more experience playing against the type of teams they will need to beat.
The only material difference may be that a team that compiles a top record in a non-super league may take a playoff spot away from a team at or near the bottom of the super league. So what - such team wasn't going to win states anyway.
If the girls have been doing it for several years and it works fine, that's all that needs to be said. Just emulate their successful roadmap. Pretty easy.

The coach is terrible. Get him outta there and maybe more kids would go there and it would help the school's finances. Nobody want's to play for him. Nasty guy. By having him there it's actually hurting the school's finances too.
That's interesting about the coaching. Didn't know that. Have a 7th grader but live in Suffolk. Maybe have to rethink that commute.
Just so I have this right, you're going allow an anonymous poster's comments, which you have no idea if they have merit, influence your family's decision on where your son should attend HS.
Retread his comment, then think about what he said......do you think he may have a problem with the coach because his kid doesn't play? Do you really think the admissions at Kellenberg are impacted by their lacrosse coaching staff? Is he spending too much on athletic talent? Lax balls? Are their uniforms too nice? How in God's name do you tie the lacrosse coach to the schools finances?
It reads like that guy has listened to too many Donald Trump speeches.
Then do your own research. But I bet you'll come up with the same conclusion.
Who had injuries? WM or Quott?

Oh my, just checked it out.
Not that I am against or for it but if you thought the "little" forearm from Princeton coach was too much you wont like this. (yes a bit different because opposing team)
Wouldn't call it a punch but would call it good either. If you call it a "love tap"... yeah, like my dad loves me but if I talked back to him he slapped me one. and no coaches don't do that anymore.

The Princeton situation would not have been a story had the player been on Princeton. He was on the opposing team.
A coach smacking a helmeted player is a complete non-issue, especially since we're talking about a high schooler.
Which quarter did this happen? I'd like to go back and watch the incident.

Moronic comment. You think the success or failure of the lacrosse team will actually dictate whether more or less students decide to go to Kellenberg? It is already a huge student body with ~650 per grade. They can't fit any more kids in that place. And pls share your wisdom on how the lacrosse coach actually impacts the schools finances. I can't wait to hear these pearls of wisdom.

If I had a nickel for every time my H.S football coach hit me up side the helmet or grabbed my face mask to make sure I understood him I would have about $2.00. The funny thing is it isn't the boys who complain but the wussy helicopter parents.
It amazes me that we had 19 yr. old platoon leaders during WW 2, guys who never left their town before going overseas. We baby the crap out of these kids, but they can take it if you let them. The problem is the parents, let your boys grow up and be men. They will be fine. The umbilical cord was cut a long time ago.
JV lost 18-11 to Anthony's 7-7 late in the 3rd and then turned into a track meet with advantage to SA, I wouldn't call for the death of Kellenberg lax yet. Bad years happen, let's wait and see only 2 years ago they won the AA intersectional.
And you're crazy if ANYONE in the administration besides the AD is is remotely concerned with the success of the athletic teams. School has a waiting list bigger than some other schools enrollment, the president, principal etc. aren't too concerned with lax scores more with the actual SCHOOL part probably which has gotten the school to where it is.

Let's hope the kid and his parents give their OK on this, there is more than enough woosification of these kids already. It was nothing extraordinary except it was on TV. No harm/ no foul. A love tap, nothing more.

And yet the Chaminade JV football coach got fired for yelling at his players while he was driving the bus.

Seriously, someone complains the coaches yells at a kid? I feel bad for any HS lax player that has never been yelled at, gets into a college where a coach rides the s%$t out of them without his parents on the sideline to [lacrosse] and moan and second guess about every little thing that happens to their poor Johnny. I'm sure not one of these parents that are constantly complaining has ever tried to corral and get focused 30 15 and 16 year olds for 2 hours after school. Only thing I have ever said to my kids HS lacrosse coach was "thank you" and he "enjoyed the season". And trust me, that coach used to ride the kids like Doc Dougherty in the good olde days.
I have, I coached and I am passionate and loud. I've called out players, I grabbed at many a cage to get a players attention but never ever smacked them in anger upside their head. Wanted to but never did. I coached back in the 90's (when i was young) to very privileged boys. Their parents didn't care so much about the yelling, if it got to much they would have a conversation with me and we were usually on the same page at the end of the conversation (on my side - and that kid was set straight for at least a few weeks). With me it was not out of anger but tutelage and understanding timing, priorities and respect - life lessons.
I was fortunate (or unfortunately) to be put into an environment where a coach did hit a player upside the head. The dad said one thing to the Ad coach and staff...
"...Yell at him all you want, make him run or take time away... you are the coach, but, and let me make this clear... only I can put my hands on my son. Trust me I will take care of it... if it warrants, but you hit my kid and I will take care of you first pointing at the AD then you pointing at the coach. (All situations are different but all the rest of us could do was shake our head and think, the dad is right).
I am now a dad and been around the block. I have learned you don't always need to stay in a situation, if it is not to your liking or standards, just leave. No one needs to be a martyr. Some of our parents stayed in their jobs many miserable as could be, but they were told stay you don't leave. Why, because that was how things were done. Not anymore, life and things change. I believe their is a fine line of this woosification but I also believe we need to use common sense.
As far as the "thank you", just like everything in life, I too say Thank you to the coach, but only when deserved. Thank you's are not to be thrown around lightly. You can tell when a coach is doing it for the love of the game or the pay check. I have been disgusted by some of the coaching and development ive seen. AD's are no better, their lack of "want" to do the right thing and their lack of "passion" to get better has been eye opening. So "thank you's" are only said when deserved. Just like "Good Job", those seem to be handed out like candy, does a player who didn't play in a game get a "good job", NO!
Now the above is just that a situation lapse in a moment in time. This seemed to be a mistake in a heated moment. I am also for forgiveness since we all have our moments (as long as they are few and far between).

Chaminade was given that game. Offiial threw a flag that DOES NOT get thrown in OT in a game of that caliber.
Have to say, Chaminade parents/supporters are really nice people. I have read some disparaging remarks about them on tis site and saw none of that today.

It was a hold!! They have to throw that flag. They should have put game away earlier. Then never had the ball in OT. That is not the official fault. It was a great game , and they came up a little short. Can't always blame someone else when you lose.

The general accepted rule for officiating in a hotly contested game no matter the sport is a CLEAR violation of the rules, anything that takes away a clear scoring opportunity or anything dangerous or flagrant. Anything borderline, let the boys decide the game. The mistake officials make all the time is feeling they need to be involved and interjecting themselves in the game unnecessarily. I didnt see the play, was this a blatant hold in front of the net or something that took away a scoring opportunity?
way to pat yourself on the back
It actually was not a hold it should have been called the other way the offensive player held the defense players stick look at the film.
The player had no chance of scoring at that time-No chance-
waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I would have to think they had some of the most experienced refs do that game.

Anything borderline, let the boys decide the game. The mistake officials make all the time is feeling they need to be involved and interjecting themselves in the game unnecessarily. I didnt see the play, was this a blatant hold in front of the net or something that took away a scoring opportunity?
Clearly a hold. Player's 3rd penalty of the game.
The kid ran into 3 players, and was in trouble, the ref baled him out.

Of course not, he was being held.

Proving once again that the officiating in high school lacrosse is just atrocious and something needs to change.
I would have to think they had some of the most experienced refs do that game.
Thanks Ref!

I happen to agree with your statement about patting the kids on the back. That is how it should be. They play the games not us. They deserve whatever bragging rights come out of this (if any). I also happen to think that if the results were one goal games the other way the public school folks would have been lining up to put down the Catholics. both sides are equally crazy.
Enjoy these times while they last.

Gimme a friggin break. You're the one that needs to get a life! That post did not gloat or disrespect any of the players on Syo or Massapequa. He was just correctly pointing out the absurd double standard when it comes to Cham and St. A lacrosse. When they lose to a top-tier public, its perfectly OK to bash them. "They're weak, they suck, overrated, they recruit from all over LI - how can they lose" blah blah blah. When they win these close games, the response is always - "well of course they should win". These St A and Cham players, through no fault of their own, are always put in a no-win situation by the petulant and insecure parents, most of whom never played the game. And blaming the refs??? This is beyond weak. If a Cham or St A fan tried this weak BS, they'd get crucified on this site. Give it a rest already.

Watched the film. Clearly a hold. Tough break for Massapequa. Thought they controlled the game and it was theirs to win. Can't blame if on the ref, bottom line it was the right call.
bottom line is the games are turning out to be as you would like them, competitive contests. Yes at times surprisingly sloppy but that give those youngins' the chance to see no one is perfect 100% of the time.
5/3 - SYO vs Pequa.. should be another great one to watch.
Not the right call in OT of a game at that level. Maybe a hold. But if you are an experienced fair minded ref- that hold is not flagrant enough to warrant a flat at that stage of the game. Let the teams win it themselves. Not given a guaranteed goal by a man up. No way.
Nice to see both games as one goal. Each could have gone either way. Pure parity between the best publics and privates. Long Island should be proud of the great talent we have here.
Basically an All-star team vs a Town team Great job Syosset and Massapequa......... Congrats to ALL involved they were both great games .....but extra KUDO's to the Town teams

Thank goodness your are not a ref. Just because OT doesn't mean you don't call a hold a hold. Cham won it fair and square.
Says the chaminade mother
Call me crazy but I think Port is going to surprise Farmingdale and Syosset coming up. Not saying they will win. Playing well at the right time. Could use a little better play from defense and goaltending but offense looks very strong.We will see but you heard it here first if the upsets happen.Just a few tweaks by the coaches and it could happen.

You are crazy. And it's not a surprise if they don't win?? Your surprise is they won't get beat as bad as everyone thinks?

I think if they play well enough they can not only compete but can win..The kids seem confident enough and it definitely throw a monkey wrench going into the playoffs
Are you seriously talking about the same team who lost to Hewlett and Oceanside ??

PW can beat either of these teams. The face off kid is as good as it gets and we have people who can score against anybody. I guess we will wait and see but either way the games will be very tight

I just watched it. The only reason that was called was because if it wasn't, Massapequa would have had a fast break the other way. The hold didn't take away a Chaminade scoring opportunity. The Chaminade player was very fortunate he didn't lose the ball dodging into traffic.

Its obvious this person is not from Port Washington. The fact they say the team needs better goalie play makes it obvious. The 5 year starter in net is playing lights out. Like he always does. As for beating Syosset and Farmingdale they are really grasping at straws with that one. If and if your from Port Don’t let your mouth write checks your body can’t cash. Because its the players not the parents that are responsible for that.
Yes- Cham won fair and square. By the rule book. But just saying that game should be won by the players. Not the rule book

The coach is terrible. Get him outta there and maybe more kids would go there and it would help the school's finances. Nobody want's to play for him. Nasty guy. By having him there it's actually hurting the school's finances too.
That's interesting about the coaching. Didn't know that. Have a 7th grader but live in Suffolk. Maybe have to rethink that commute.
Just so I have this right, you're going allow an anonymous poster's comments, which you have no idea if they have merit, influence your family's decision on where your son should attend HS.
Retread his comment, then think about what he said......do you think he may have a problem with the coach because his kid doesn't play? Do you really think the admissions at Kellenberg are impacted by their lacrosse coaching staff? Is he spending too much on athletic talent? Lax balls? Are their uniforms too nice? How in God's name do you tie the lacrosse coach to the schools finances?
It reads like that guy has listened to too many Donald Trump speeches.
No it sounds - Must be from a Hillary speech

If its a penalty in the beginning of the game its a penalty at the end. There are no rules changes subject to the intensity, importance and or timing of the penalty in a game. A rule is a rule and the referee called it as he saw it.

Nah. Maybe in PAL. Not in varsity sports where a game has more meaning emotionally and historically than the rules dictate. Analogous to NFL playoff game... Referee is going to give lee way to a pass interferece call which will give the offensive team the ball on the 1 yard line and virtually guaranteeing them a winning TD. That ref makes damn sure that foul warrants the flag and NOT just because it's in a rule book. Same difference. The officials cannot dictate who wins or loses.

Yes - they did and quot should do well this week against WI and SE
They don't allow for much depth on the team so this was a surprise.

And have career games so the upset can be pulled off. It's time for Port Washington to stop taking a backseat to these other teams.
Yes but the refs were letting the kids play all game and not calling many penalties. There were a lot worse penalties that were not called all game long. Refs need to be consistent and should not decide game.
Garden City wins Woodstick Classic 9-7
Hey Moron, GC beats Set 9-7, JV smoked Set JV by 6 goals, GC girls win in OT. How ya like me now ????

Now if you think that's funny , you deserve a beating. If you think spoiled Manhasset kids don't do the same your just nieve. Very immature. That's like me saying who has more money ? We have Fortune 500 owners not cop /teacher combine salary struggling to live on NHP road. Grow up.

Agreed, but lets see how Saturday goes for them beat Commack badly and I agree lose or just win not sure.
So Much for WW. WW goalie very good. Kept them in the game. Score would have been worse with out him. 19 saves.

Get in Playoffs and anything can happen. This is the best most balanced year ever in Suffolk d 1- The Best in the Country
Just an observation..I really thing putting in the paper the leading scorers is almost a joke in HS lacrosse. Most kids seem to score a lot of goals against weaker teams and try to pad their own stats . It's sad but in no way to me indicates who the better players are. Nothing worse then seeing someone score over 5 goals in a game and maybe have one assist and the team wins by 8-15 goals in a game. At the end of the year you see the kid with over 40 goals and a limited amount of assists but in the big games against the good teams they are either shut out or score very little in comparison. I understand the kids being selfish but the coaches should either pull their kids out or tell them to pass it to their teammates . Jus my opinion and I'm sure some will agree and many will disagree

I think the MIAA and New England West might have something to say about that. Reality is you have 5 teams right now in Suffolk that are legitimate. As far Class A, upstate power Victor is one of the best teams in the country. Assuming any of the Suffolk teams get off Long Island, they have a tall order if they make it to the state finals.

I think they have more then a chance
Garden City Boys Varsity won 9-7 against Manhassett. Girls Varsity won in overtime. Both GC JV teams won as did the alumni. With one exception, each game was a nailbiter. I saw 4 of the games, and don't remember a single cheap hit or unsportmanslike penalty. While the fans were load, they were respectful of sitting in mixed bleachers. The Manhasset fans couldn't have been a better group. Hope we can send as nice a group to Manhasset next year.
Glad to see the moronic comment from earlier is gone.
Lol, looks like BS 8th grader is Suffolk County stat leader! Could he be an All-American? Looks like Penn State got it right in recruiting!
Even if deserved that team has another kid that somehow gets awards instead. Not sure how it happens SMH

Dude, Port has already lost to 3-8 Oceanside, Hewlett and a Class C team. Class B RVC took them to OT. Give it up. No chance until the next Frocarro arrives.

Unless you see a game don't comment. I know a few boys on the list. Seen lots of games. Some players on the list have a good G:A ratio, some no ratio. Even those with a good ratio could be better. You mention a player with a lot of goals. A few of the scoring leaders would have 50% more assists if other players just finished. Not to mention some get a looser definition of an assist over others.
So please let's congradulate their accomplishments because anyone on the first page or two of any ranking deserves the accolades, just know everything is relative and not as black and white as it is in print. Some are better some are not.

I've seen a lot of games myself .Too many blowouts to be honest and it's the coaches fault for letting these kids stay in and keep scoring against weaker teams . It looks like the coachs and players have an agenda to make the kids look good. The stats are so misleading it's sad to read it the next day.. It's actually a joke and the most misleading thing I have seen.

Completely agree with your post. Not to take away from some really good players but it is a joke. What's worse is when you look at their teams weak schedule and see a player put up 8 goals, 6 goals, 5 goals. Then they play someone decent and he has none. They should post the players SOG also. That's where the real story is told. That being said it is high school lacrosse and you play who is in front of you. It sure does help when your head coach likes to pad his wins with a weak schedule.

So true. No fault of the players. Coaches want to bang their chest about the 50 goal scorer that he coached. Look at strength of schedule and who they put up all their goals against. It is probably good for the players ego and may actually encourage him to take a lot of bad shots. Never saw a shot I didn't like syndrome. What's an assist?

I understand the kids being selfish but the coaches should either pull their kids out or tell them to pass it to their teammates . Jus my opinion and I'm sure some will agree and many will disagree
Unless you see a game don't comment. I know a few boys on the list. Seen lots of games. Some players on the list have a good G:A ratio, some no ratio. Even those with a good ratio could be better. You mention a player with a lot of goals. A few of the scoring leaders would have 50% more assists if other players just finished. Not to mention some get a looser definition of an assist over others.
So please let's congradulate their accomplishments because anyone on the first page or two of any ranking deserves the accolades, just know everything is relative and not as black and white as it is in print. Some are better some are not.
I've seen a lot of games myself .Too many blowouts to be honest and it's the coaches fault for letting these kids stay in and keep scoring against weaker teams . It looks like the coachs and players have an agenda to make the kids look good. The stats are so misleading it's sad to read it the next day.. It's actually a joke and the most misleading thing I have seen.
I agree a lot has to do with coach keeping starter in in these blowouts. But when daddy picks the coach and has a personal relationship to him, it's so obvious that coach is helping said player pad stats for college resume.

Its obvious this person is not from Port Washington. The fact they say the team needs better goalie play makes it obvious. The 5 year starter in net is playing lights out. Like he always does. As for beating Syosset and Farmingdale they are really grasping at straws with that one. If and if your from Port Don’t let your mouth write checks your body can’t cash. Because its the players not the parents that are responsible for that.
Hopefully he will step up
And have career games so the upset can be pulled off. It's time for Port Washington to stop taking a backseat to these other teams.
No Frocarros, no chance.
I think they have more then a chance
Dude, Port has already lost to 3-8 Oceanside, Hewlett and a Class C team. Class B RVC took them to OT. Give it up. No chance until the next Frocarro arrives.
Port has some good kids coming up in a few years. 2022 class is very strong. 2020 has a few also. Let's not talk smack until the games are played. Port has had a mediocre season so far. Just hope they make the playoffs.

The coach is terrible. Get him outta there and maybe more kids would go there and it would help the school's finances. Nobody want's to play for him. Nasty guy. By having him there it's actually hurting the school's finances too.

Agreed, but lets see how Saturday goes for them beat Commack badly and I agree lose or just win not sure.
So Much for WW. WW goalie very good. Kept them in the game. Score would have been worse with out him. 19 saves.
Get in Playoffs and anything can happen. This is the best most balanced year ever in Suffolk d 1- The Best in the Country
HHHW is very interesting. They lose 90% of the FO to the quality FOGO out there, yet they only lose by a couple. If they can get to 50% maybe best in the division.

Completely agree with your post. Not to take away from some really good players but it is a joke. What's worse is when you look at their teams weak schedule and see a player put up 8 goals, 6 goals, 5 goals. Then they play someone decent and he has none. They should post the players SOG also. That's where the real story is told. That being said it is high school lacrosse and you play who is in front of you. It sure does help when your head coach likes to pad his wins with a weak schedule.
Agreed. get your one or two goals and get out or practice passing. I like to hit the game by game stat and see if they score 2 to 3 goals per game against all competition.
'22 kids are in 6th grade... a little early to project... only 4 kids in '20 that play at a high level now...
Best post I've read on BOTC. CSH dad.

Just look at the schedules some of these teams play. Tells the entire story. Conferences really need to be balanced better to avoid padded stats and better competition across the board. A few schools on there play really competitive non league games. Others look to beat up on weaker opponents. What does a weak schedule get you? One or two All County players with top stats, a coach that can keep his high winning percentage and a quick send home in the playoffs because you haven't been challanged enough.
You should come see the games. Kids don't pass the ball and not all the best players are on the field all the time. A lot of favors being done out there. Coaches always have their "favorites" for whatever reason.

"Best post" comment was in response to the below...Sorry I got the mechanics wrong, infrequent poster...
I have, I coached and I am passionate and loud. I've called out players, I grabbed at many a cage to get a players attention but never ever smacked them in anger upside their head. Wanted to but never did. I coached back in the 90's (when i was young) to very privileged boys. Their parents didn't care so much about the yelling, if it got to much they would have a conversation with me and we were usually on the same page at the end of the conversation (on my side - and that kid was set straight for at least a few weeks). With me it was not out of anger but tutelage and understanding timing, priorities and respect - life lessons.
I was fortunate (or unfortunately) to be put into an environment where a coach did hit a player upside the head. The dad said one thing to the Ad coach and staff...
"...Yell at him all you want, make him run or take time away... you are the coach, but, and let me make this clear... only I can put my hands on my son. Trust me I will take care of it... if it warrants, but you hit my kid and I will take care of you first pointing at the AD then you pointing at the coach. (All situations are different but all the rest of us could do was shake our head and think, the dad is right).
I am now a dad and been around the block. I have learned you don't always need to stay in a situation, if it is not to your liking or standards, just leave. No one needs to be a martyr. Some of our parents stayed in their jobs many miserable as could be, but they were told stay you don't leave. Why, because that was how things were done. Not anymore, life and things change. I believe their is a fine line of this woosification but I also believe we need to use common sense.
As far as the "thank you", just like everything in life, I too say Thank you to the coach, but only when deserved. Thank you's are not to be thrown around lightly. You can tell when a coach is doing it for the love of the game or the pay check. I have been disgusted by some of the coaching and development ive seen. AD's are no better, their lack of "want" to do the right thing and their lack of "passion" to get better has been eye opening. So "thank you's" are only said when deserved. Just like "Good Job", those seem to be handed out like candy, does a player who didn't play in a game get a "good job", NO!
Now the above is just that a situation lapse in a moment in time. This seemed to be a mistake in a heated moment. I am also for forgiveness since we all have our moments (as long

No..this is talking about all the kids out there.. It's about the coaches and the decisions they make. It just proves the point that the stats mean absolutely zero from what I see

Figure when playing good teams 2 goals 1 assist is probably the average and that's playing all game in which own team is getting beat and scoring against 2nds and thirds.

Agree completely with the weak schedule comment but to have 41 goals and 20 assists as an 8th grader is pretty damn impressive. Schedule aside, those are AA type numbers
Agreed. You people make me laugh trying to down play the kids accomplishment, the kid is a 13 maybe 14 year old 8th grader and putting up those type of numbers is extremely impressive anywhere with any schedule. Who cares about the AA thing, Keep your own insecurities and jelousy in check and be happy we have kids like this and others coming out of Long Island. At least the kid hasn't been held back or "reclassed for academic reasons" lol what a joke. Kid is a great player.

Says who? and who are you to decide that?
I hope you will be so lucky to watch this boy play the next few years. He is a treat to watch play with and against. He is the definition of what the Selection Classification should be.
He bucks the system and reminds me of a BETTER Nicky Galasso. The thing is he is just an (on age) 8th grader and has room to get better, faster, stronger, smarter.
Before the season many said he couldn't play on many, if any, of the better teams, I say he would've made them all better and would absolutely play. He would make any coach (worth his weight) switch any experienced 2017 lefty attack to middie or makes him the first offensive middie out of the box.
Now the kicker for those that didn't know the reason why I guess this is being brought up is... Nominations were due. Who ever asked the question is very smart and knowledgeable. I bet most of you (including his school didn't know about the timing). You need coach or administrative approval. I wouldn't bet against the Admin blocked or not submitting the proper paperwork for that nomination and claiming ignorance.
Good luck to him the rest of the way, you are a very fun player to watch. (and by the way great Goal to assist ratio, takes many players to learn it is about the total points not just the goals).
As well the kid tied for 2nd in Suffolk for point has a horrible goal to Assit ratio, but I just looked up where his high point production were (I mean goals were) all in games the team needed it. Then I found out many of his goals were of the "One More" variety. So the player with the assist is top of the county in assists. Which means there is a middie or two out there with less assists (wonder if they are hockey players). See the numbers don't always tell the true picture.
Now the leader, he is just a beast and I wish him continued success closing out the season (I will say the goal leader does have another game over the other players).
Will any of them make AA not sure but Probably the leader. Not sure if you all know but AA nominations do take prior years accolades into consideration. So if you don't have any awards from a prior year some one just as good as you with an award from last year will get the nomination over you

Now we are worried about AA . Give me a break. That's the point that is trying to be made ..worried about stats only ..you can't judge AA with these kids let alone an 8th grader . You are insulting every other kid playing Varsity on Long Island. No his coach would not nominate him. Let St Anyhonys do that in a few years when he plays Varsity.
Where can I find the stats?

He plays against some of the worst lacrosse teams on LI. Great player but he wouldn't have a quarter of his points playing in the real division in Suffolk.
Patchogue or brentwood

Dewitt v Casenovia (Upstate leaders)
or
Syo v 'Pequa
Not sure whats better, Maybe LV v CSh on Friday
Some great games tomorrow!!
Dalers v Port
Foxlane v Yorktown (not sure how important this is since it is A vs B, only game that matters is 5/7)
Lakeland v Wappingers (oh who cares only game that matter is 5/7)
WM v HHW (Not even sure how to call this one, one being the operative number).
Penn Yan v Westhill
Pittsfield v Penfield
and Victor has a few great games coming up (Cazenovia Saturday).
Whitman v WI (I think it is an intriguing game, could lessen the blow Commack put on them)
or
Dewitt v Casenovia (Upstate leaders)
or
Syo v 'Pequa
Not sure whats better, Maybe LV v CSh on Friday

I have found both site have differing stats so I am not sure which to go by. So I don't fixate on the number just who is where.
Personally I don't think it so bad to look at stats and dream of AA. At 15/16 that is the stuff you dream of. Dare to dream I say. If you are a leader in a talented county such as Suffolk/Nassua why not?. Especially if your team will not make or go deep into the playoffs. Sure stats aren't everything. The better teams probably have depth and a balanced attack of offensive players and some of those players don't even see or get to be on the 1% of the leader board but trust me they are known. Just as those leading badass defenders!
but those on the top team and in the top part of the leader board, you definitely deserve those accolades.
Dare to dream.

Will any of them make AA not sure but Probably the leader. Not sure if you all know but AA nominations do take prior years accolades into consideration. So if you don't have any awards from a prior year some one just as good as you with an award from last year will get the nomination over you

How about a reality check. 8 goals against Lindy, 5 goals against Brentwood, 5 against Copiague, 5 against Floyd, 6 against North Babylon. That's 29 goals against horrible teams.

That's why you would never make him an AA this year and you wait and see how he does in a few years when he is playing Varsity at St Anthonys . Even then you have to see how the kids do in the big games and not the games against HT and Kellenberg and St Doms. Those games will be stat padding
That's why stats in HS don't hold that much stock. Look at the list for Nassau and Suffolk scoring leaders for the past few years. A few D1 kids but most are kids on low level schools with no competition and very few teammates the share the rock with. Yea so a kid can put up 7 goals a game several times a year vs bad teams. Not a big accomplishment. As we all know that's why the club teams hold so much value with college recruiting
What were his stats vs. Islip, Quot, Floyd, Smithtown East, Huntington, HHHE and Riverhead? None of those teams are cupcakes. Clearly he is one of the few players carrying the load for a middle of the pack Conference 1 team. I guarantee he makes All County, deservedly. Will see how his team finishes up and how he does in the playoffs before discussing AA. I say doubtful. All the above being said--GREAT SEASON for him and clearly helped his team...i don't think you'd see the jr/sr. he displaced putting up half the points he did. Anyone disparaging him is just a flat out D!ck and a hater.
Wasn't talking about that kid. I said a lot of kids on the leaderboard from low conference schools . That kid dominates the club circuit. Read my post and point before you reply.

I read. Heard point. Club circuit against 8th graders - he dominates! Against 2017 & 2018 would not be able to compete.

hey jack-wagon this post isnt about the player you noted - the 8th grader. Mine was about the goal Leader (SWR) and tied (WESTBab) since they were both upper classmen. I take the stance for the 8th grader of "holy cow" look at that kid go, regardless of quality of teams.
Someone made a silly comment of goals to assits, which I usually like to look at. I also noted I looked at the school and looked if it was one or a few feeding him. I saw a leader in Assits is also from that school. a Lower level B school.
The leader, the SWR kid is a beast and deserves accolades. Plays a tough schedule leads in goals and points. Anyone over 25 goals and 25 assits needs to be commended. anyone on a winning team with 20/20 is quite an accomplishment.
But as said earlier why not dare to dream!
Um, I have to imagine he is going against a few "club circuit" '17 '18 defensemen when BS plays the better conference teams, no?

I agree to everything said but one. No one was displaced, it was an open position. The timing worked perfectly for both school and player. We can all admit he is more than just a "filler". Sometimes it is not enough to be good, great even,(plenty of good kids on benches all throughout the county) sometimes timing and luck are key.

Who cares, he is competing against other varsity HS players and doing well.
All of those better schools and players know who he is and appreciate what he does. Many of those same players think it would be very cool to play with him and that speaks volumes.
Now can we talk about Syo and 'Pequa or Dewitt and Casenovia game.
2 more Suffolk games to filter or muddy the water WI v WW game and the HHW v WM.

I would give SYO home field advantage but something makes me want to pick Pequa by 3 (13-10). Hopefully I'm wrong.
Even though both play in the same conditions, it is who plays better in the conditions that may play a factor in the outcomes

Should be perfect weather, temp low 50's, slight chance of precipitation, overcast. perfect for lacrosse.

Come on Connetquot - almost losing to Huntington. You had a good thing last game - why change it up today. That would make too much sense.

Lynbrook ?
Port Washington played great for the most part today. Just needed a little more play from one end of the field and would have won.. The future will be bright going forward on that end next year and maybe sooner
I hear Port has some great 2028 kids that are studs. Should help them beat some of the top programs next year
Look out Victor and Hill academy the great Port infants are closing in

What's sooner than next year and what end? Port parent here. What the heck are you trying to say?
Why did farmingdale abandon their injured player lying behind the cage to go for their celebratory group hug ... Shouldn't they have waited for him?

If some defensive changes are made it might help for this year instead of waiting till next year
Port dad again. We don't need a cat fight. Let the season play out and see what happens. No need to air dirty laundry on an open forum.

Your right I have said too much already. Hopefully the boys make the playoff and have a good run.. Just gets frustrating sometimes
Alright, that's enough.. Move it along
What is the take on Locust Valley this year?
I don't see them as real. Their schedule is a weaker, true C schedule.
CSH is next on their schedule and I expect it wont be pretty for LV.
CSH has impressed... Beating the following:
- A division power Syosset
- B div power Manhasset
and playing other tough non conference teams.
LV on the other hand played a weaker A & B division schedule including Port and Lynbrook (both down this year).
CSH by 4 (at least)
I don't have any stake in the game - just watching.

Typical 1 goal game for Quot!!
As good as their season has been, I will be shocked it Quot is the Sec. 11 Rep in the State A playoffs. No offense meant.
Farmingdale faces Massapequa on Friday. Another good game
Farmingdale is a pretender. Soft out of conference schedule for such a Big School. Pequa by at least 5.
Pequa by 10
Look at standings in Suffolk A
Some of the top teams haven't played each other yet. Could be a mixing of the top 6 order.

Connetquot - West Islip, Smithtown East and Hills East
West Islip - Connetquot and Smithtown West (also Hills West)
Smithtown East - Connetquot (also Commack and both Sachem's)
Smithtown West - West Islip (also Northport)

Pequa coming off back to back losses. Chaminade and Syo both 1 goal games. No way they will lose to fdale.

Probably right Quot coach doesn't play enough kids. They will be shot by playoffs. They are a great team and I hear they have some depth but not many of second level kids see the field.

Because he doesn't think the second level kids are good enough. He'll ride the starters and hope he can beat a dead horse. It's his one shot for a while and he knows it after last year and this year

There is drama on every sideline. Why are you isolating Port?
Rumor has it that Syosset coach was suspended for making the players walk out of bus in their underwear after loss to St Anthony's. If this is true it is absolutely ridiculous.
He should be immediately fired.

Agreed, there are some um, "little" guys on that team that must've been flat out embarrassed being seen in their skivies and the couple of guys that don't wear underwear, well that was a debacle.

Stop it. They are big boys. If this is a wake up call demanding their jerseys back.. More power to Coach. Old school.
Walking out in their underwear is a wake-up call?
It shows that all the coach cares about is his win loss record not about building character.
If the captain of the team did this to another player he would be kicked off the team and suspended from school.
Why does the head coach get special privilege.
It was a terrible decision
Horrible

Oh lord, are you serious?
Unless it is repeated and on-going bullying, suspending someone for that kind of boyish stupidity is a bit over the top. I've seen worse in nursery school.

Yup, and heard he made a JV boy who borrowed a varsity shooting shirt to practice shirtless during a practice because Varsity paraphernalia is ONLY for Varsity.... then made entire Varsity run laps as punishment for one kids indiscretion.

Stop it. They are big boys. If this is a wake up call demanding their jerseys back.. More power to Coach. Old school.
So, if you loose, it's ok to line boys up, make them strip down to skivvies and send them out in public? Buddy, you need some serious help.

Embarrased is an understatement. This is downright humilation tactics. How does an adult actually do something like this and think it's fine?
WHO CARES? this post about Syo is a waste!

Unless it is repeated and on-going bullying, suspending someone for that kind of boyish stupidity is a bit over the top. I've seen worse in nursery school.

yes, you'd be suspended. kids have been suspended for far less in Syosset. Not sure what type of neighborhood kindergarten you went to but ..... well enough said, you wouldn't understand anyway.
The Syosset coach is one of the top coaches on the island I bet it is more of the crying parents who disagree with their kids play time and have influence in the district who put this together. He is a great coach, great person and it will be Syosset's loss. It was ok in Garden City to have kids smoking pot during a lacrosse trip and under-age drinking during football season and nothing done. Where have we come to, what a bunch of crying baby parents in Syosset. Look what this guy has done since taking over the program.

No argument about his merits, but if he did what is being claimed you cannot have him overseeing young boys. There is a fine line between tough coaching and hazing and it sounds like the line might have been crossed.
Making team run together for one boys indiscretion is frequently used by coaches to control kids and bring them together. Makes them all responsible for each other. I do it all the time.
seems just good crowd control and coaching to me.

Just for the record since you decided to take a cheap shot at Garden City, the incident you referred to led to 6 kids being thrown off the lacrosse team and each kid being suspended from school for a week. One player lost his lacrosse scholarship.

This is exactly what you said in your initial post.... A RUMOR!

You miss the point... do you think the indiscretion was truly something so egregious? Also, do you think that making a young man practice shirtless is appropriate.. why not make the entire varsity team practice in their underwear as punishment?

C'mon, man. It's not worth arguing with Syosset whiner parents. They are masters at deflection. It stems from their low self-esteem and persecution complex. You know the type.
I would love to hear a story of how a LI lax team visited a children hospital or sat at an old age home for an hour... just to hang with some people who could probably use an hour out of their day of something different.
How bout we turn the perception around. and I am not talking one player, we all know they are out there I am talking a team.

We are not talking about having boys run together.
We are talking about intimidation.
The school board would have no credibility if they do not fire him form coaching.
How would they justify suspending a student for the same

I have a kid on the team and have no idea what the "charges" are and what is being investigated so I do not think you can make a statement like that when there is no way you can even know what he is being charged with. your post is the first I have heard about intimidation, lets take a step back and find out what he is being accused of before we convict or defend him and or the entire community
It true- no one said it did not happen

I agree that he took an unnecessary cheap shot and this has nothing to do with the GC situation but I believe the original poster was saying nothing was done to the coach, we all understand that kids involved were punished.
He is charged with having boys take off uniform after loss and make them walk out in underwear. Comes from numerous sources.
That is not disputed.
What the question is what punishment is going to be handed out.
Funny how they waited until after Massapequa game

The pussification of our boys is real. Everyone gets a trophy, equal playing time crap that is being jammed down our throats by these over zealous parents who never played a sport in their lives. Now they feel everything needs to be equal. Life is not fair or equal. Some are meant to excel in the classroom others on the field of play and in the rare instance in both. Why is it that it's ok to categorize students in the classroom with grades but not alright on the field of play. I played a D1 sport in college and the right of passage as a freshman was part of the process. This went on in high school also. It created a common bond with upperclassmen who went through the same things. I will never trade the times I had on and or off the field with my teammates. Now it's called bullying. Fire this coach, sue that guy if your child doesn't get equal playing time. How about teach them to work hard and work at the thing they love. Have passion and fall in love with the process (training to be great) not whining about equal playing time and trophies.
Just the look at our society. Safe space because words hurt our feelings. People scream and yell for individualism but it's more like they want an androgynous society where women are more like men and men are like women. No dodgeball in school, everything is bullying. It seems as if all the people who were good and bad at dodgeball turned out to be good people and actual upstanding individuals in our society. Ask anyone from our greatest generation and they will tell you our youth have become soft, blood sucking leeches, with no respect for anyone or anything. We can't blame the kids because as parents we are enabling and creating these crybabies or crybullies. For those who don't know this term it's someone who always cries they are being bullied because of what they believe in but use bullying tactics if you don't agree with them. Am

Ferris Beullers Day Off !!! Funny and true
I told two 13 year old kids that were leaving lacrosse practice for a soccer practice, this was an on-going problem with these two, that they needed to get their "asses to lacrosse practice if they wanted to start". One of the kids parents called the head of the league about child "abuse" and the dad threatened to call the Nassau County child protection services. The two sets of parents wondered when we had a travel team in the town, why no one would take their kids. This "pussification" as you say, is really driven by the parents. I think most boys are embarrassed by this type of parental behavior. God forbid they play in college when parents now around.

You're right. I especially like the hazing that takes place today. You know, the one where the kid ends up dead from alcohol poisoning. Just happened at Stony Brook U yesterday. You really nailed it buddy. DUMB

about 90 percent accurate. still cant condone making kids walk off bus in underwear. That is an adult , teacher and coach, abusing his authority. If it wouldn't be OK in a work place, its not OK in a school. Has to be held to same standards as other teachers. I am sure if a math teacher or volleyball coach did this, it would be a big problem and on the news.
I can not believe that Syosset parents are defending this action.
same parents were crucifying him earlier for playing time.
This is not acceptable behavior- period- beside the fact that it is bad coaching.
does he ever think kids might play a little tight in some games?
Does he ever think kid might quit on him- to much bs
Must be the starters parents- afraid of change- new coach might see something different in back-up players
Or coaching staff trying to do damage control

I think the coach just wanted to see them in their underwear for his "bank..." Sick... Why in just their underwear? Bad decision coach. No problem with running or punishment, but that was dumb and he opened himself up to scrutiny.
I agree the coach did something dumb. But is there no reprimand between defending the "pussification" of kids and being thrown of the team as coach?
Cut of coaches salary? reduced to asst coach for 3 years? public apology? I just think, esp around coaches, that parents see one bad event and want a coaches head. They don't see the hours and hours and dedication that goes into coaching, all the positive. They see the one bad event. [lacrosse], I'm a good parent, love my kids, make them study, make them be in by curfew, etc......so when I lose my temper and call my kids "idiots".....should my kids be taken away?

You can raise your kid any way you want. I am not for the pussification of our boys, but if a coach made my boy get off a bus in his underwear to prove some kind of a point, to shame him, I would be at the school in his face.
If he made boys run laps do push ups, run wind sprints all night, no issue, he yells and screams, no issue. You have entrusted your boys to a man that is supposed to be leading these boys into manhood and helping them mature.
Having a kid get off a bus in shame is not proving anything except that the coach needs to be removed.
nothing to do with any school, but this shaming is for the game of thrones, not hs lax.

You're right. I especially like the hazing that takes place today. You know, the one where the kid ends up dead from alcohol poisoning. Just happened at Stony Brook U yesterday. You really nailed it buddy. DUMB
First thing first never did I get hazed. I carried water to fields, served the upperclassmen lunch, sang the schools fight song. Never ever was I forced to drink or do anything that they never did.
As for the Stony Brook U here are the facts.
" We wish to correct several inaccurate assertions that have been reported by others. Nicholas was a Brother of Alpha Phi Delta. He was not a pledge nor was he engaged in any type of pledging activity at the time of this unfortunate incident" facts buddy facts. Lol

So all of this is hearsay. Until all the facts are out and someone who doesn't post anonymously post the facts all we can do is assume.
I have a son on the team. I did not know anything about this till last night so I asked him what happened last week. He told me JC did not take uniforms away as punishment. These specific uniforms are distributed before the game and collected after the game whenever they are used. The kids know this ahead of time. Some kids did not have something to change into after they got back to school. I asked my son what did he wear home and he said sweats that he kept in his locker. He also told me some of the boys thought it would be funny to go home in their UW and others were just lazy and did not want to change. The point is that it was not done to punish or humiliate. The uniforms were collected inside the school after they got off bus. They did not ride home in their UW. They were not paraded around or shamed, however there are some parents, like every district on LI, who have an axe to grind who made a complaint. Error in judgment by the coach. Yes probably, but to be fired over it seems extreme. You have to remember that these kids are on the verge of becoming young men. We ask these coaches to help guide them into young adulthood. I do not think the coach should have to remind them like they are in 2nd grade to bring a post game change of clothes. BTW my son is not a starter so with or without JC in Syosset I have nothing to gain or lose by writing this. I do know it is the boys who have worked hard this year who will suffer if he is removed over a mistake being blown entirely out of proportion.

They were not paraded around or shamed, however there are some parents, like every district on LI, who have an axe to grind who made a complaint. Error in judgment by the coach. Yes probably, but to be fired over it seems extreme. You have to remember that these kids are on the verge of becoming young men. We ask these coaches to help guide them into young adulthood. I do not think the coach should have to remind them like they are in 2nd grade to bring a post game change of clothes. BTW my son is not a starter so with or without JC in Syosset I have nothing to gain or lose by writing this. I do know it is the boys who have worked hard this year who will suffer if he is removed over a mistake being blown entirely out of proportion.
So, if the uniforms are distributed before the game and collected after the game, all players should have worn street clothes to school, correct. Do you see where you went wrong in trying defend a coach who was in the wrong. This isn't the first time, if fact, there have been several complaints over the years about this coach both berating and humiliating players in front of others. The coach should do as most of us were raised, I emphasize 'most', if you would be offended if your child would be treated this manner, don't treat others in the same way. Think before you act!
Enough about this issue, let it play out in SYO.
Tomorrow:
Pequa vs Farmingdale
St. Anthony's vs Darien
2 games should be good, a lot riding on both.
How can an impartial out of town reader of this compare the 20 emails claiming that the charges are true and coach should be fired to the email from the father that seems to be the only one that got the story from someone that was there and know which is true?
I hope your son's explanation is true, cause this posse if complaining, idiotic parents that seem to have no facts needs to understand they should do a little homework before stating ANYONE should be fired........esp on an blog where their identities are hidden.

A HS lax coach, or any school coach for that matter, should not be the one "guiding your son into young adulthood". That's your job!!! Damn, some parents today just don't want to raise their kids. It always someone else's job to do it. You're their parent, not their best friend.

Fire this coach, sue that guy if your child doesn't get equal playing time. How about teach them to work hard and work at the thing they love. Have passion and fall in love with the process (training to be great) not whining about equal playing time and trophies.

about 90 percent accurate. still cant condone making kids walk off bus in underwear. That is an adult , teacher and coach, abusing his authority. If it wouldn't be OK in a work place, its not OK in a school. Has to be held to same standards as other teachers. I am sure if a math teacher or volleyball coach did this, it would be a big problem and on the news.
You can raise your kid any way you want. I am not for the pussification of our boys, but if a coach made my boy get off a bus in his underwear to prove some kind of a point, to shame him, I would be at the school in his face.
If he made boys run laps do push ups, run wind sprints all night, no issue, he yells and screams, no issue. You have entrusted your boys to a man that is supposed to be leading these boys into manhood and helping them mature.
Having a kid get off a bus in shame is not proving anything except that the coach needs to be removed.
nothing to do with any school, but this shaming is for the game of thrones, not hs lax.
i was going to say the same thing. If true, which i hear it is.....100% inexcusable

Most boys did not have a change of clothes with them because the game was during the break... they came to school in their uniforms with no change of clothese. If JC wanted the uniforms back, he should've told the boys that ahead of time so they prepared proper clothing OR asked them to bring the uniforms to the next practice. He KNEW there were boys that had no change of clothes. Let's present all the facts if you want to 'set the record straight.'

The point is that at least 1 boy was forced to leave school in his underwear who was embarrased by it... that's one too many. NOT all joked, not all thought it was funny and it was irresponsible for the coach to put any young man in that situation.

How is the coach in the wrong. The uniforms are distributed as usual before and after games. So it's now the coaches fault that the High School aged boys forgot their cloths to change into. Come on. Stop being so sensitive.

Sensitive???? So kids should go home in their underwear????? How about this "adult", when realizing that some kids didn't have a change of clothes, told them "OK, take the unis home but bring them back at the next practice or I'm running you all day. You forget the uni, you're running". That's how it should have been handled, not tough, you're going home in your skivvies. Sensitive? Unreal.

What's wrong with knocking kids down a peg through embarrassment if they deserve it and it goes towards teaching them a valuable lesson. Kids are so darn soft and parents are the enablers. Take a step back and let your kids feel the repercussions of their actions. Its called maturity.

A. uniforms were not distributed 'right before' game...
B. it was break, so boys wore uniform to the bus and didn't have school after game, so were going to go home in uniform
C. nothing was said that dirty smelly uniforms were to be turned in IMMEDIATELY upon returning to school therefore boys did not prepare a backup clothing.
Stop being so stupid!

As someone in the know said kids decided on their own to not change get into their cloths and wear just underwear. How did the kids get to game. Must have just worn underwear. Please stop posting anonymously so people know who has the axe to grind. No one can Coach in this day and age without getting crushed for everything they do. Guess it's the coaches fault kids didn't have cloths to change into.
Did the boys still have their shorts,shooting shirt,socks and cleats?

the kids had the uniforms and wore them to the school that day (it was a vacation day) and some, repeat SOME kids either did not have extra clothes and did not to borrow from a team mate - this was not done to humiliate or punish them.....now you can move on to other topics

No, you are misunderstanding. THe uniforms were given out ahead of time, it was a school vacation, the boys left their homes that morning, heading to school for the game, WEARING the uniforms. They did not know they were going to have to turn them in right after bus returned to school.
Those that coincidentally had clothes changed into them. Others tried to make light of the embarrasment and just ran to their ride home's vehicles.
I agree with comment above, and I think my parents did exactly that, but hard not to acknowledge that a good coach can have an enormous affect on a young man, or woman's life direction.
Half these kids have done their college applications, and you want the COACH to remind them because of a break they might not have a change of clothes?
are you serious? cant the mom's and dad's figure that out?
jesus, you people are ridiculous. Take some personal responsibility for your kids.

Yeah, maybe the coach should wipe their bottoms too.
Anything else you would like the coach to cater to your child's needs on?

You realize your "someone in the know" is absolutely, unequivocally 100% WRONG. No axe to grind at all. Actually, why are YOU defending him so much, are you his wife, brother, neighbor? See it works both ways. The team received the unis ahead of time, they wore them to the game that day. Never have they turned in a dirty, sweaty uniform before. They were always instructed to take them home, wash them and bring them back. BUT, the team just suffered a tough loss and the "coach" was not happy. He sure taught them a lesson didn't he??? Can you see it now???? Plain as day what happened. I can't believe people are defending someone that thought it was OK to send KIDS home in their UNDERWEAR!!!!!!! Again, UNREAL
I'm all for personal responsibility, and I agree kids are coddled WAY too much in today's society. I hate participation trophies and I agree that only the best should get playing time, just like real life. But this is too far.
All of this is silly - ever hear about a situation where no one is in the right.
*Players, Assumed (you know how that goes)...
*Coach, took advantage of the situation... (no coach in his right mind allows a young man to step foot out of a locker room (in this day and age) knowing he is in his underwear. Knowing another players mother or younger sister could be in sight. Regardless if the player wants to.
Lets use common sense, another coach who used the wrong sense of Judgment! at worse run'em at the next practice. Don't think it is fireable offense, unless this is not the first action of this sort in his history
(One thing i would like to know is why some get to keep their jersey and some have to hand it in, did I read that correctly )

Cats out of the bag. Spin it as you want. Ever hear of the smell test, this doesn't pass. A responsible adult is not going to have kids running to the cars ON SCHOOL PROPERTY in the underwear.
Just say a mistake in judgment was made, then I think people will move on.
If you "agree so much that kids are coddled WAY too much", why do you rag on the coach and not the kids for not being prepared under any circumstances? At least be consistent
lots of opinions and statement of "facts" being posted but I only know what I saw with my own two eyes and heard from my son who is on the team, they have turned these "special patriotic" uniforms in after games in the past, they are not their regular uniforms and are collected after games that they are worn in and yes they turn them in dirty and smelly. My son went to his locker after turning in the uniform grabbed a pair of shorts and a t-shirt and left, most kids did the same, some kids had warm ups or sweats but a few did go home in boxers or compression shorts but very few and not the whole team and it is no different then what they would wear to the park or to the beach. This is a pile of hot steaming BS but they also got Al Capone on tax evasion so I think the lesson learned is if they (disgruntled parents) want to get a coach they will keep trying and trying until they get him on anything.
I assume that when they assistant coaches are in charge all 50 kids will play equal time and everybody will be happy and well clothed

Wow, if you can't see the difference between kids being coddled and making them go home in their underwear......I can't help you.
Syosset was Class A LIC last year... Thrashing Pequa and SE.
This was won by the Boys not their parents.
Stop the hating.

guess you cant
Not the case- he was mad at loss.
Can not believe all the idiots defending this coach He is an absolute lunatic on sidelines.
He has screams at players on the opposing team. Badges the refs
Screams at his players. I said last year watching him coach that he will lose his cool, and be out of coaching within a year. Did not even take that long.
Terrible decision and in no way will it help the team or any player on the team.
It could even destroy team now with all parent fighting

You--are an a%%.
Of course a high school varsity coach is guiding boys and teaching them..
Wait, you are patting yourself on the back for saying he would lose his cool and be "out of coaching within a year", yet he has been the head coach at Syosset for 10 years already?
Am I missing something or is this Dad ranting and raving about a coach that yells and badges the refs out of his mind?

Almost any one of these can beat any other on any day. Ok, maybe not bayshore and riverhead, but the rest can all play and most oif this list will be in playoffs.
anyone care to pick the teams that make it to stonybrook for Suffolk championship? a little light fun on a rainy miserable Friday-no seedings yet-still a few games to play-so just take a shot
mine-
SME v WM -repeat of last year
There is no way JC should be suspend, fired or anything over what happened, it is all about crying parents and pampered kids whose moms still wipe the kids behinds. Great coach who is very well respected among other coach's and college coach's. What a joke these parents are.

Most years I would say there are one or two teams that have an over abundance of athletes and talent. Not this year . I think it will come down to coaching and if that is the case you will see West Islip and Smithtown East in the finals.
No way he should be suspending- are you kidding me!!!!
He did that for whatever reason to humiliate the players.
That is not good coaching- it is absolutely horrible.
Coaching is getting you players to play 100% all the time which is not easy
Screaming at, humiliating or intimidating players never works- players play scared.
the x and o are the easy part of coaching
Some not all of the players were absolutely humiliated by walking out in their under wear
It could - not saying it will- have lasting effect on team
Time will tell
Measuring a coach by his wins is not always the best indicator of his coaching ability- Talent can make up for a lot of bad coaching decisions and Syosset has a lot of talent.
That was an absolute horrible coaching decision and in most towns he would not be coaching anymore

JC is an @$$ and should have been fired years ago when the complaints started.

Agree, if the coach was truly "a good coach" this Syosset team would be unstoppable, there is a lot of talent with a bunch of great players but they play at an average level. All aspect of coaching, training, motivating, inspiring, building and mentoring should all lead back to TEAM to make them play together as a TEAM, not make the coach look better.

45+ players wearing t-shirts to school yesterday supporting there coach and 45+ players at a last minute emergency board meeting last night in support with many speaking in support of their coach - clearly the majority of the players on the team support the coach and clearly were not humiliated.

if you were truly a "good poster" this post would be informative, there are a lot of talented posters on BOTC and some great posters but you post an average level post. all aspects of posting, thinking, humor and facts should lead back to great POSTS to make BOTC better not make you the anonymous troll better.
Whether the coach is great or not, the players support him or not, the board will have last say. Remember a certain coach from a rather prestigious neighborhood in Nassau who faced the same type of "abuse" allegations. His players loved him, most of the parents as well, but a small minority pushed it and ......GONE. So I wish the coach well, hope this works out for the community, but don't hold your breath, because the opinions of the boys don't matter to the board, the size of the impending lawsuit does.
Thank You BOTC for making me laugh, I have to say that it is quite humorous.
As someone that has coaches young teenage boys for over a decade, and is the father or two, I know of no male athlete that would be "humiliated" by having to walk in his underwear. Esp if he was not the only one. Most would laugh and shrug it off. I don't believe any boy was humiliated. Udder bullsh%t.

Screams at his players. I said last year watching him coach that he will lose his cool, and be out of coaching within a year. Did not even take that long.
Terrible decision and in no way will it help the team or any player on the team.
It could even destroy team now with all parent fighting

^^^This, absolutely^^^^
Just another example of a FEW wimpy, cowardly parents wanting to further DE-BALL their sons in a nation that has been drastically transformed. In three decades we went from the Greatest Generation to these silly milennials.

You nailed it! well stated, it's a matter of whether this coach exposes the district to legal suit filing. Many may feel the infraction was not lawsuit worthy, but unfortunately that's not for us to judge. Sad but that's the reality of the situation.
So you are telling me all 50 players have same personality.
Some kids do not even want to get change in a boys locker room
You have no clue

FYI poster, I'm sure that none of the boys who preferred NOT to wear shirts were not pressured into wearing them in fear of being harrassed. Guess the coach has taught the first string players well and they follow his lead.

How many NYS championships does this great coach have? Zero...despite pretty good talent. He's a mediocre coach at best.

Where can my team find a coach like this? Our coach takes away confidence, warms up the whole team and only practices his 10 main kids. Doesn t acknowledge the remaining 20+ kids, picks favorites, plays favorites when it is not benefitting the team, doesn't play Seniors on senior day - even when up by 6+, has boys quit every year, doesn't sub, can't sub because the remaining 20+ on the side line don't get to practice the 2 plays or zones taught to the 10 starters, if we have a close game he says the boys played flat or the ref made bad calls.... and the funny thing - if he reads the "Our Coach" he would believe it was writtten about him.

FYI replier - the post clearly wrote 45+ and the majority, and did not write all - no need to read between the lines
So the first string players "pressured" the other kids to where their shirts in support of the coach?
The first string players were organized enough to make calls to the "weaker players" saying "wear your shirt to support the coach or else", your intimidation, but this well-organized proactive kids cant be held responsible for not bringing an extra pair of pants and thus having to walk around in their underwear. Got it.
Lady, and you must be a lady, really need a bite out of a reality sandwich.

Maybe the kids know the type of parents that would [lacrosse] and moan over something like this, and they are embarrassed so they decided to support the coach against a bunch of wussified parents
Pequa parent here... Enough already. I am glad for Coach and his team. Now we can have a rematch in playoffs hopefully with no BS excuses. Good for Syosset and their team and their coaching staff. NEW SUBJECT PLEASE
So he should be fired because Syosset hasn't won a NYS Championship? Really? What makes you write such dribble?

Meaning... Let's keep the playing field all even. No excuses if Syosset (incredible as it may be) loses along the way. I'm on your side Brother. Good luck rest of the season and we would love to play again.

Nice to hear. My bad, assumed it was a typical nasty BOTC poster, celebrating a team's misfortune. Thanks and best of luck to you for the rest of the season. Would think we'll see you again in the playoffs. Good luck
I hope he brought something to wear to the game today.

wow - refreshing to be talking about lacrosse and not who lives in a nicer neighborhood or which coach should be suspended for making someone walk outside in his underwear! No clear powerhouse this year unless SME figures out how to stop their opponent from putting up double-digits. If that happens - no contest. I think you see a rematch of last night's game in the finals - WI vs Quot. still a little shaky on Quot, but they have a football, blue collar mentality - very tough and athletic. And while they only win by 1, they have at least been consistent. WM too young and very inconsistent, they are probably a couple of years off. SMW is dangerous but a little inconsistent as well.
My Two Cents
good luck everyone. its been a fun ride
Suffolk is a ton of fun this year-
WI
Quot
SME
SMW
WM
hhe
hhw
comack
huntington
nport
whitman
sachem N
bayshore
riverhead...
Almost any one of these can beat any other on any day. Ok, maybe not bayshore and riverhead, but the rest can all play and most oif this list will be in playoffs.
anyone care to pick the teams that make it to stonybrook for Suffolk championship? a little light fun on a rainy miserable Friday-no seedings yet-still a few games to play-so just take a shot
mine-
SME v WM -repeat of last year
Riverhead may surprise - but my pick is SE vs WI
Most years I would say there are one or two teams that have an over abundance of athletes and talent. Not this year . I think it will come down to coaching and if that is the case you will see West Islip and Smithtown East in the finals.
My Two Cents
good luck everyone. its been a fun ride

anyone care to pick the teams that make it to stonybrook for Suffolk championship? a little light fun on a rainy miserable Friday-no seedings yet-still a few games to play-so just take a shot
mine-
SME v WM -repeat of last year
Riverhead may surprise - but my pick is SE vs WI
Most years I would say there are one or two teams that have an over abundance of athletes and talent. Not this year . I think it will come down to coaching and if that is the case you will see West Islip and Smithtown East in the finals.
As a show of support I think all the Syosett parents should wear their underwear to the game today.

They couldn't beat CSH a small school..enough said . There is only one top team pound for pound and that is CSH ...Ok give LV some credit but they haven't played any tough teams yet in or out of conference

good luck everyone. its been a fun ride

WI
Quot

West Islip has been living dangerously last 4 games and it is not easy to sustain. They got destroyed by SE the last two times they have played. WI does not have the face off or defensive units to hang with SE and its a nightmare matchup for them. WM is too young and I dont see Quot as a real threat so its gonna be SE coming out of Suffolk again. Good season all around in Suffolk A.
Pequa beat CSH soundly by at least 4 goals in preseason
How many teams make the playoffs in Suffolk
Locust Valley beats CSH 11-8

So much for the CSH power house. It looks like LV will finish the season undefeated and should move way up in national rankings..Good for them and well deserved, these kids are studs that look like they won't be stopped. CSH looked like deer in headlights.
Looks like the dalers on their way back. Nice to see. All this talk of pequa and Syosset lately, historically neither can compare to farmingdale.
No matter how good Pequa is or how easy farmingdale schedule was , that usually is a good game. As it was.
CSH Score was 9-10. Very impressed with LV. Quick attack man and their execution in the clearing game was fantastic. Well scouted. They pushed while csh subbed and converted.

It seems with all the talk about Mass farm Syosset the two top teams are in the lower conference ..so enough with all the talk and realize the best teams are in the conference below you

Thanks Knute Rockne, I can start my day now
Awesome effort by St Doms yesterday vs. St Anthonys. Was 7-5 at half. Final was 11-7.
Top of your head?
there are High school kids on this site. that was very, very, very uncool.

So Newsday score is incorrect ? They have wrong score and gave the goals to players ? They just making it up ?
10-9 LV. Great game. They'll meet again.
If I am not mistaken Syosset lost to csh by one after leading late in an early season game
Csh is an excellent team with a larger youth program than most "big "schools
Stop worrying about rankings and enjoy the best hs lax in the country between nassau and sulfkolk teams
Will be a good playoff season

Sounds like Anthonys emptied the bench. If their FOGO played, Doms would never have sniffed the ball.
Smithtown East over Connetquot 14-12. Two losses in a row for the TBirds.
Northport over Smithtown West.
It's anyone's game in Suffolk Div 1

Umm how many state championships do the Dalers have ? Oh yeah 1 just like Pequa. With changing demographics, they will be as relevant as former powerhouse Sewanaka.

I agree WI and Smith E have great coaches. Riverhead up and coming, Quot coach is a bonehead, Melville is solid also.

Quot players look like they are losing steam. Guess that's what happens when you only play six kids on offense the whole game, pay the price late in the season. WI looks strong now. WI Smithtown West is going to be a battle.

Thinking Dalers or Pequa (Possibly syosset but they need to mature another year as a team) vs WI or SE
I guess you were not at the Syo vs. Daler game league game.
Score was 9-4 Syo on top.

No but I played Syosset and they need to mature as a team. They are always a top team - but boys graduate and new teams need to develop.

No dog in this fight , and I'm not the original poster as I have no idea what the score was , I just know CSH lost and isn't that all that matters . Loss is a loss whether by one or 3 ...., isn't that what they were going on and on about when they beat Syo by 1 in beginning of season.. One goal really seemed like a big win to them then. Same idea, evenly matched teams that on any given day could have gone either way but apparently when CSH beats a team by one it's not that way. Then they are the MUCH better team. When they lose by one they are all of a sudden just as good and it was just a fluke. Only works that way for CSH-funny.
Back to the subject , even if joe Lombardi never played lax, who cares, if I'm not mistaken, did that Ty Xander's ever play? Doesn't everyone seem to think what he says is gospel ?
Um csh hater...we lost. Got outplayed by a very good, extremely disciplined team. Looking forward to hopefully a rematch for bigger stakes. Hats off to LV. Oh, and yes, we did beat Syosset by one--should've been more, but doesn't matter a W is a W just like a L is an L.
lol by more my [lacrosse]! You guys were lucky to get away with a W against Syo

Um Syosset hater... was at that game and it absolutely could have gone either way. No way either team had the ability to go ahead by a lot. The teams were very evenly skilled. Just as you said , one team just got slightly outplayed that day .
No, St Ants is still a great team and St Doms is not the premier catholic lax team. Why would you make the inference since that was never said. Seems like you are having trouble giving props on a well played game. The idiot who said it must have been the 2nd string just showed his ignorance and the facts were stated. No 2nd string for st ants. Starters played the entire game for St Ants. Doms played a very good game with no bench. How about applaud the David v Goliath effort when it happens (as infrequent as it might be). Don't worry, its ok.
you know nothing.
Why is the CSH dad so obsessed with the score? You lost,Waa,Waa! We're overrated to begin with and now exposed. Got lucky against Syosset, would not happen again!
Let's not forget pequa beat CSH by 4 or 5 in preseason

Because I read about the egg they laid against Kellenberg. These are the games that both Chammy and St As try to empty their benches to keep their mommies and daddies happy with some playing time. Don't worry, its ok. Whatever helps you sleep at night.

Not sure you can talk about how a team team preseason or the first few freezing weeks as compared to now duringt he run.
This is what you play for. It is a shame NY state doesn't do a tournament of champions regardless of class ranking. I wished they would at least let both Nassau and Suffolk get off the island with out beating each other up.
A team that has got to go through both LI sections and wins is the champ to me. Imagine a Sect 8 v 11 NY State game at Stony Brook or Hofstra. (even St Joes or Adelphi) place would be rockin

It's either St Anthonys is not as good as advertised or St Doms is just a step below. Which is it?

LOL. you are funny. Now you can predict the future. And yes, I'm sure Syosset is the only school out there that has improved and developed as the season moves along. We got you this year and the majority of the last 10. That is a fact that has nothing to do with being over rated. "We're" did you mean "we're" as in Syosset is overrated or were you trying to communicate "were". Bafoon. Syosset-Land of "I want, Gimmie, Take, we beat Chaminade in a pre-season scrimmage last year and now...undewear." HAHAHAH Go pequa, please beat them to take the county.

St Anthony did start any of the starters, the 3rd string started and the starting fogo did not play at all. Later in the game some of the starters went in when the score was a little too close for comfort. Case closed.....

Guess you weren't at the game. All top scorers on St Ants played whole game. Never came out. Prob right on fogo and starting goalie played 2nd half. At minimum, it Wasn't lay down they expected. Nothing more, nothing less. Move on. It doesn't diminish how good St Ants is. Don't know why this is such a hard pill to swallow.
To the poster who said GC would lose to Long Beach.....the score was 10-2. Guess who won? You sir are a true lacrosse prognosticator!! Got any advice for the NCAA's? I would love to hear who you have winning it all. Thinking you will pick St. John's in a whirlwind.

Prob is St Doms is not very good. Just trying to figure out how good some of these Catholic school teams are.. From what I see this year they would be middle of pack teams and not dominating as they once were
I hope That PW does the right thing now that the season is pretty much over and puts some of the younger kids in to see how good the future will be .

I was not at the game but based on Newsday: St A's had 8 goal scorers, one with his first of the year, one with his third of the year and one with his second and third of the year - sounds like the starters played but that they played to win without humiliating the opponent and that they were pretty liberal with the playing time, I wish more teams would play like this against weaker teams instead of the current model of the starters running up a 10 - 0 first quarter lead and playing subs rest of the way....good for St A's coaching staff

Prob is St Doms is not very good. Just trying to figure out how good some of these Catholic school teams are.. From what I see this year they would be middle of pack teams and not dominating as they once were
With six D-1 commits? Does KB or SJB have that many? What gives?
St Doms attack is horrible
midfield very good.
midfield very good.
PW Coaching at Syo game was an embarrassment. At least 3 offside calls, yelling at the official scorer... Really?
Program in disarray. Not good for the kids.

Because there are 300 kids in the whole school. Have 10 to 12 very solid players. The big schools have 30! That's the difference. Kellenberg, Chaminade, St Anyhonys have 3, 4 or 5 times that many. Why do you care so much? I have never heard one St Dom's parent on here saying a word.
you never sat next to the know it all , coach/ref. dad from st domes...worst ever...

Switch a few kids now and you will see results but changes need to be made at key positions that effect outcome of games
All the starters were not in the game at st. Doms. There are Only a few steady scorers on the St Anthony's team
You can criticize Kellenberg if it makes you feel good but behind St.A and Cham they play the toughest schedule in the Catholic league -Lynbrook, Farmingdale, Massapequa, Comsewogue and Staples Westport(CT) all tough games out of league. Maybe this schedule prepared them for Doms. You can play a creampuff schedule and run up Ws or test yourself. I am glad they choose to play a challenging schedule.
Because I read about the egg they laid against Kellenberg. These are the games that both Chammy and St As try to empty their benches to keep their mommies and daddies happy with some playing time. Don't worry, its ok. Whatever helps you sleep at night.

How about applaud the David v Goliath effort when it happens (as infrequent as it might be). Don't worry, its ok.

That's a lot of getting a$$ kicked to prepare for St Doms!! Hope it was worth that W!!
I know of another CHSAA team that played non-league games against Shoreham Wading River, Commack, LaSalle Academy (RI), Staples Westport and Fox Lane. No too shabby. Who did Doms play in non-league?

the statue is the attack guy right?

Any trap games out there. Bottom of the bracket could be decided tonight. But as another poster put it that is why they play the games.
Riverhead and Hills West will be looking to see how Bay Shore does against Smith W. Not sure all will get into the playoffs. Riverhead, Bay Shore and Hills West all have easy game for their last game. Just not certain those games help them with points.
Bay Shore loses by 5 tonight they should be first man out. Riverhead and Hills West should jump them.
Much to prove or has been proven. West Islip's coach is worth his salt. Can Quot and WM coaches step up. Can SE play like a team that wants it, will they play for the guy next to them.
Each year people say it is a 2 team league, the only thing for certain is 2 teams will be there at the end, which two is never certain. About 7 teams that could beat anyone on any given day top 4 should beat the others 7 out of 10. But the season is long, lets see what happens!

The catholic schools are better than given credit for. St Anthony’s and Charmy have strong teams every year and play one of the hardest schedules in the country.
Kellenberg lost 8 -7 in OT to Lynbrook and lost to Farmingdale 6-8.
St Doms beat Kellenberg 11-6.
SJB beat St Doms 15-10.
Lot of talent on these catholic school teams. Stop with the hating and enjoy the ride.
So much for Dom's four goal loss to Anthonys meaning anything. They lost by five to SJB who emptied their bench.

SJB coached by an SA alum now. Hope he gets that program competitive. Would be good for the league
Two great goalies. That's why they score was low. ST. Anthony's needs to move the ball!
But I thought the coaches got together and worked out who scores when so they can stay friendly for business purposes. Are you telling me the players have something to do with the score ?

They are the best goalies out there by far on all of Long Island, I am glad someone finally gave them the recognition they deserve.
West Islip - Smithtown West game is big tomorrow.
If WI wins then the only have one loss to a Suffolk A rival.
Should make them the reg season champs in Suffolk A
Smithtown East has 2 big division losses WM & Smith West
Ward Melv has 3 losses WI, Quot, & Smith West
Smithtown West has 4 losses 3 division HHHE, Quot, NP
Connetquot has 2 division losses WI & Smith East
Safe to say Scotty Graig has put WI back on the Suffolk Big Boy map again.
by the way - not an alum nor do I have a kid there.

I agree, I stated that the other day. Not sure how Mr Caoch Criag does it. More talent on other teams for sure. But, kids are gritty and play for the name they all share on the jersey. If Smithtown East ever did that they would be unstoppable. Some things you can teach Something you cant.

I guess you've seen every goalie on Long Island play? There are a lot of good goalies. Stop being silly.

By the way - Chaminade also beat West Islip. You know, the best team in Suffolk right now...

Any of the above teams can beat one another on any given day. Will all come down to which way the ball bounces, no clear favorite-
SME losses by a goal, Quot losses (and wins) are always close, WM and SME played a 3-1 game, safe to assume that will never happen again...
WI got beat pretty soundly by both SME and Chammy-so while they will earn number 1 seed assuming the beat HHHE today, they are on par, but clearly not ahead of the others.
Take out your coin and give it a flip each game is 50-50.
plus- you can't count out the teams that are just a fraction behind the above-
Can bayshore or HHHE shock someone...
Anyone have any idea how the section xi standings are calculated? Seeding will be more important this year than they have been in the past.

Fact check:
West Islip plays Smithtown West not HHHE!
You must have had a freudian slip because you mention HHHE twice.
Are you an HHHE homer?
Sorry, but HHHE is not even in the discussion- 4 division losses including a bad loss to cross town rival- not good.
On the WI front, Scott Craig coaches a tough, gritty team with lunch pail/ hard hat mentality work ethic. Kids play hard and get the job done consistently. He gets more from his squad and talent than most coaches on LI.
Hope they take the Suffolk A back again.
Also love the WI rivalry with Cham.

Stop with the PW pipeline drivel. Farmingdale, Syo and Pequa all ahve studs in the pipeline too, and more than PW. Your place in the middle of conference one will not change in the next decade. just enjoy watching and stop writing checks your kids can't cash and putting undue pressure on them...

What exactly is a lunch pail/hard hat mentality? ESPN sound bite. What are the other LI teams? White collar and brief case? Come on it's lacrosse, that mentality exists on EVERY team. Let me guess, Manhasset, GC, Pequa, etc are not "lunch pail" guys? Clarify your statement as to why WI is lunch pail and what are the other teams across LI

OK Goalie daddy.
Scott Craig is an excellent coach and he certainly gets a lot out of his players. He has 5 rings and numerous Suffolk County Championships to show for his legendary career. This years version of the team has been winning a lot of close games and like all the other top teams in Suffolk I think they can beat and lose to anyone on any given day. Ill say this, in a one game scenario Ill take Scott Craig over any coach in Suffolk or Nassau hands down.

Visor Dad, thought he was a Manhasset Super Hero? PW does have an excellent 2022 team, saw them at a town tourney recently and they were the cream of the crop. A little small to play varsity though. Other than that team there is nothing else to comment on up there.
Suffolk A is not a two horse race. The top 6 can each beat any of the other top teams and have done so this season.
No disrespect to the bottom 6 in the playoffs but here is how the top 6 have done against each other.
West Islip 3-1 (Smithtown West today)
Smithtown East 3-2
Connetquot 2-2 (HHHE today)
Ward Melville 2-3
Smithtown West 2-2 (West Islip today)
Half Hollow Hills East 1-3 (Connetquot today)

Some Coaches talk about how they're great coaches and how they live and breath coaching. Others are just really strong lacrosse coaches and prove it on the field, year in and year out. Craig is LI legend. He just knows the game. Love him or hate him, you can't deny his Coaching ability.
Did you know that Scott Craig was one of the founding fathers of Suffolk PAL ?? He gets 110% at of all his players and your right he's the best out there right now.
I will give you my opinion on why West Islip varsity programs do well on both the boys and the girls side. Both varsity coaches live in West Islip their kids go to West Islip. They are very invested in the PAL programs within the town. I can't speak for coaches of other varsity teams, but I would imagine that they live outside the school district where they coach. Therefore are probably invested in the PAL programs within their own town. So these coaches in West Islip know these kids from the time the five years old and they build a very strong personal program

West Islip has a GREAT PAL program,, not denying the coaches ability, but he has great players coming up every year. Show me the coach who wins in North Babylon and that's a great coach.
As a Port parents I must apologize for the rants by Port parents on here. Can't be 100% sure they are a Port parent due to the anonymity of post on here. Everything is cyclical. Towns have good teams and bad teams. Like every program there are some graduation years that are stronger than others. It happens to most programs. To come on here and make claims of great pipelines is ridiculous. As for the claims of changes need to be made and airing that out on here is also ridiculous. Speak to coaches or the booster club but please stop with the nonsense. You are embarrassing the parents that have kids in the program.

What is airing it out to the booster club going to do?They don't have say in who plays I hope.. Coaches should only discuss playing time with the kids

Please stop. Its better to discuss in house than air your dirty laundry out on Back of THE CAGE. So tell me all knowing lacrosse guru why dont you coach the team. Dont say you have a job etc because then you are not coming up with solutions just excuses. I am sure your kid isnt playing because wind was too strong or sun was in his eyes. Maybe you feel slighted. Go speak to coach. Its that plain and simple. Maybe he can enlighten you as to why he isnt starting on the defensive end of the field. Could be he is telling you one thing and doing another at practice. I have coached and its funny to hear what parents think of little johnny at the meeting they demanded and what he actually is doing. Kids tell some interesting stuff to mom and dad. As a Port parent I am asking you please stop trying to stir the pot.

How do the coaches help build the PAL program? Betting they are NOT invested in the PAL program as they do not want to become friends with too many parents who they will then have to disappoint later on when they cut little Johnny from the Varsity. It's a mighty uncomfortable feeling to have to tell a "friend" that his son is not good enough to play for the H.S. Is the coach from W.I. telling the dads what plays to run? Is he developing drills for the third graders? Is he at the field overseeing the PAL program? PAL is run by the parents. Kudos to the W.I. moms & dads who are shuttling their kids to practice and games, coaching teams and teaching their kids the fundamentals of lacrosse. THAT is the reason W.I. has a good program, the kids are coached by dads who work on with them, kids go to camps, lacrosse is a big deal there. The coach is not getting "more" out of the kids, they are good athletes and talented lacrosse players from years of playing and practice. Enough said!! (not a W.I. parent)

Talk to the coach who talks to the booster club. Probably not the smartest move
Anyone have SW-WI game update ? WM over Northport 11-8
Unfortunately he ran out of Galassos the last few years.

On any team? Would you take him coaching Any team in Suffolk A Vs. West Islip this year? One game? His coaching style and acumen give ?? team a victory over W.I.? Is it the players or the coach or both? Sorry, but winning with elite players does not make the coach. It's a whole lot of both.

He won a state title without Galasso, try and be somewhat informed before you make a ignorant comment.

I agree it takes talent and coaching to win consistently, but my answer to your question is that I would take Scott Craig coaching any of the top 10 teams in Suffolk right now against West Islip. This years version of WI has no standouts, they have a bunch of very good to solid players. I have no doubt in my mind their success this year has everything to do with coaching.
Glad to see some stat padding was being done yesterday . Helps the kids resumes but smart people know what happens in big games against the better opponents.
Suffolk 1 playoffs should be fun to watch. No real favorite in my eyes. If I was a betting man however, give me the Patriots of WM right now. They have the best defensive coach and the best defense led by some outstanding players. Offense has stepped up last few games from guys that are not even their "go-to-guys". Very balanced offense with 6 guys who can take you to the rack at anytime. Would love to see a SE-WM rematch at SBU. Anyone else have any predictions?

So everyone should just stop playing, silly, just play you can't choose your opponents.

That is a very broad statement and applies to maybe only 1 o2 two of the so called Blow outs. If you have been around you may not understand, at this juncture you need to beat the weaker teams by at least 7 goals. if you don't you can lose power points.
As well if you see a loop sided 1st half I am okay with that any team can have a run. As well these last few games are senior days or the only chance some seniors can get time. Conversely this is the time some younger players can see the field and get in the books.
Does anyone know if All-County and All-American selections are made before or after the playoffs?

All - American I am not sure about
But I believe all- county is based on regular season performance only

All is on Regular season. All American is also on past history. Not just This year.
All American is a process defined by US lacrosse you can go look at it. But the nominations needed to be in to the regions representative already.
AD meeting for Sect 11 5/19. Coaches and Ad's get together and discuss and who lobbies hardest.
Come on man. Lots of replays for the playoffs. Me, I think that is crazy why not have teams that didn't play each other go against one another.
You have 3 teams in the playoff that Commack and Whitman didnt play and you have them playing each other again in the first round.
Glad to see Norhtport in but confused by that. I agree about the Power points but they have a losing record I thought you had to at least go .500? 6-8 in league?
Is it really a good thing to have Smithtown West play West Islip again if they potentially win (big If). Wouldn't it be better to see them play Ward Melville since we all think a 3-1 score in lax was to surreal. Sarcasm alert, they play Ward Melville first if they win then if the win again play West Islip - all who they played already.
Okay same logic HHE and Quot again, as usual someone is not doing their jobs. Seriously.
Smithtown East has it easy and should make a run; potentially being rested for the finals and that should prove the difference.
Northport, Smith West, Ward Melville, will beat each other up.
Power Points gets you in but reseed, Just like the State run. The Sections all get in but reseed lets get the best playoffs possible.

Can't be subjective. It's straight numbers. Not for your personal entertainment. Sorry if you have seen that game before!
And no one played 14 league games. Get some facts before you get all long winded on here!

Agree but my prediction - 1st Round - SW, HHE, Huntington, and Whitman vs Commack is going to be one [lacrosse] of a game - any mans win. Eventually though - SE vs WI

Not sure where you are coming from: I am discussing Sect X1 A schools I thought I had the facts. Correct me then.
I could be wrong and things could have changed, but I was lead to believe the teams were supposed to achieve (7) in Conference/Divisional wins to qualify for the post season. I also thought I was correct in that all XI teams were supposed to play 14 league games. If (14) wasn't the mandated number the teams would have played a heavier non conference schedule. A major criticism from many top teams across the East coast.
Now I'll agree with you that things shouldn't be subjective, but do you know how the power points are calculated. Objectivity would say a straight record gets you in. Subjectivity tells me a power point system gets a team in over record. Then lets not forget the threshold of wins that need to be achieved.
In life if a standard has little merit (and in itself is subjective in nature) how much objectivity do you really think you're experiencing.
Suffolk I = top 12 teams
Suffolk II = top 10 teams
Suffolk III = .500 or better record
Suffolk II = top 10 teams
Suffolk III = .500 or better record
Where do you find the 12 teams ?
So what were the end results for Nassau in Conference 1. Who is playing who in the playoffs.
I am guessing here but this is who I think made it and their seed
1. Syosset
2. Massapequa
3. Farmingdale.
4. Port
5. East Meadow
6. Hericks
7. Oceanside
8. Baldwin

When will Nassau County Lacrosse start placing team appropriate conferences? Similar to [lacrosse]? Conf 1 should be:
Syosset
Cold Spring Harbor
Massapequa
Garden City
Port Washington
Manhasset
Farmingdale
Chaminade
St. Anthony's
Catholic, public school...who cares....most games would be competitive....the teams above all have 50 kids on their sideline and many can play. Rather than each team getting lopsided victories over teams with 25 kids on their roster with a select few who can play. God forbid the teams above had to play real competition each season in every game.
Conf 2 would field the next 10-12 teams who are competitive/ borderline dominant year over year.....by seeding teams correctly and evaluating after each season and moving a few teams in each conference below 1 up or down based on their performance you wouldn't see as many lopsided victories or losses and quite possibly the schools who have less participatiin in the sport of lacrosse will increase their participation in the sport. Why would a kid in Hempstead want to participate if they're pummelled in every game? What does beating Hempstead with 12 players on their sideline teach the winners or losers when they play?
Syosset
Cold Spring Harbor
Massapequa
Garden City
Port Washington
Manhasset
Farmingdale

Catholic, public school...who cares....most games would be competitive....the teams above all have 50 kids on their sideline and many can play. Rather than each team getting lopsided victories over teams with 25 kids on their roster with a select few who can play. God forbid the teams above had to play real competition each season in every game.
Conf 2 would field the next 10-12 teams who are competitive/ borderline dominant year over year.....by seeding teams correctly and evaluating after each season and moving a few teams in each conference below 1 up or down based on their performance you wouldn't see as many lopsided victories or losses and quite possibly the schools who have less participatiin in the sport of lacrosse will increase their participation in the sport. Why would a kid in Hempstead want to participate if they're pummelled in every game? What does beating Hempstead with 12 players on their sideline teach the winners or losers when they play?

You won't find anyone here who'd disagree with you.
That said, St. Anthony's would be Suffolk.
Garden city has less than 40 on roster
Chaminade had 56
Chaminade had 56
move St Anthonys to that suffolk division and add Lynbrook into that field.

It is a State system. Sections upstate could care less about private schools. It will never happen.

And it will not go away. The over/under is that it grows. With things like this, unfortunately. it is never the first time.

Strong wind and sun in PW?
Sounds like sailing season is right around the corner.
Now that the HS Lacrosse season is over enjoy sailing, or is it yachting?

PW should not be mentioned n the same breath as the rest of those teams they lost to an Oceanside team wth 3 seniors and freshmen and sophomores all over the field starting and playing big minutes.
Oceanside team had one terrible loss in a driving rain that cost them dearly - young team on the upswing they will learn from it and be better next season.
In my opinion they are the clear 4 seed behind the top 3 in conference 1 in 2017.

In your opinion, lol. Ok so they beat Port in a game that Port would say was their worst loss of the year. So you make an excuse for Oceanside about playing in the rain and they lost. What were the rain clouds only above the Oceanside players heads in that game. Stop writing checks your kids will need to cash. Will need to wait and see about your predictions next year. Till then enjoy watching the playoffs from the stands.

I guess no juniors play for Oceanside. That's crazy, I guess they dropped a whole class off the map.
when do playoff schedules come out?

Port daddy or mommy please stop you sound like an [lacrosse]. Syosset is going to walk all over you next Wednesday.
Can't wait to see the parents of juniors and seniors squirm when a freshman gets playing time ahead of their sons. It will be interesting. Things won't be good when that happens. You can't hold a kid back. Only way is to make sure the juniors and seniors play in the blowout games to try and keep them happy

B division up in the air when you factor in SWR, BBP and Comsewogue as well as Sayville
Please be quiet. Obviously you have issues. Address them less publicly and to those who can help you achieve your personal goal

Looking out at my canal right now. Might jump on my boat and cruise the Bay. Love West Islip and south shore.
So the Syo coach got suspended for one game for making the team walk off the bus in their underwear. What should be done to the Port Athletic Director for having the team drive to last nights game in their personal cars because the bus didn't show up. She is the worst A D on Long Island. She has run the athletic program into the ground with her incompetence. The community was sold a bill of goods to pass a 90 million dollar bond to improve the facilities and it is two years and nothing has been done. The ceiling has collapsed in the lacrosse locker room the athletic fields are crap including the turf, which was privately funded by the community, is in terrible shape because of not being properly maintained. I can go on and on but until the community bands together and demands that the Board of ED removes her it is going to be business as usual. In my opinion the above mentioned is far more of a concern than a 9th grader that is going to take time away from upper classmen.

I would assume that your "facts" about PW are more accurate then your mis-information about Syosset. If you are so obsessed with SYO post next week after the rematch. #1 syo coach did not miss a game, that was him o the sideline against PW and #2 kids did not get off the bus in their underwear. problem with Port is not the fields but they parents on the sidelines of those fields

This is hysterical if this is from a Syosset parent. Dont you think everyone knows the mess that is going on over in Syosset. Your kids are playing fine but the parents are the real nightmare. If you dont think people know about the emergency meetings, the complete divide within your program. The kids turning on each other for playing time. The two separate camps within the town. The constant infighting and all the crap that has occurred and been swept under the carpet, you are very mistaken.
Did you even attend the game at Hofstra last year your 12 coaches on the sideline were out of control as were your fans that had issues with young girls at the concessions. Your player going after a girl after the game. These are all facts. Come on guy get your crap in order over on your side before you start tossing stones.
So the person miss quoted what happened its not to far off from the truth, is it? Didnt the board meet about the situation regarding the kids in their underwear after a game? Wasnt the coach initially suspended and then reinstated. Wasn't a make believe scenario.
Agreed. Do not even mention PW in same breath with SYO. Poster has his SYO facts all wrong. Worry about your own town. Get your youth program in order and maybe one day you could step on the field with the likes of SYO, Pequa and Farmingdale.

If you have a problem with your AD why bring it up here. Why bring Syosset into it. Go to your schools board and discuss the situation. Stop airing your crap on here. It gets nothing accomplished in regards to the problem and it also is just childish. Can we talk lacrosse please. All this crap is coming from the same people.
Yeah b/c the PW parents were not a factor in TR leaving for HHH. Worry about your own town. SYO will take care of itself. That emergency meeting you mentioned had 100% player and parent attendance in full support of JC. If you knew what you were talking about you would know that the issue with boys after the StAnts game was raised by another faculty member not a parent. Division in program is no different than any other on the island so until PW gets its get program in order and until PW beats SYO on the field shut ur pie hole.

I am a bit perplexed but didnt you read the post regarding all the crap going on in Syosset right now or you just missed that. As for our Jr High program arent you having a hard time fielding teams at your middle schools right now. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Perplexed? By youth program I meant PAL and town travel as well as kids playing for traditional travel programs. MS program never was and never will be pipeline to Varsity. Most of the juniors on SYO gave been playing together since 4th grade well before MS

The meeting at the bar had kids. Don't think so. You know the one with all the accusations flying around. As for the middle school not feeding the High School program what planet do you live on? Ohh wait you live in Syosset the land of make believe. I don't know anything about why the previous coach left and won't even mention him. You make it sound like you are playing. The kids are and they aren't on here talking crap. You and some disgruntled 8th grade parent from Port who thinks his kids is going to be playing varsity in 9th grade are. Who thinks airing out BS on here will get him somewhere.

Worse is having your son on Varsity in 9th and not playing when he clearly can help the team defensively.
I thought this was a forum about high school boys lax! You people who are posting all this negativity that has nothing to do how the boys/games are going, need to get a life!

Lol, hey don't knock this kid too hard, at least it was a post about lacrosse and not another contribution to the ongoing PW, SYO and/or GC drama! Gets us a little closer to being back on track for the playoffs.
So where does the upset come out of in Suffolk A tomorrow? With so many one goal games this season, one of the favorites is probably going down. Doubt it will be WI or SME, probably WM or Quot.
My guess

I'm down on Shoal, come on over for a beer or two and maybe remove the rod up your azz before doing so. WI is a great town, with wonderful school district and athletic programs. 2 minutes and I'm on the water, 15 minutes and I'm on a beach.

I was there and I think that's right, I believe Farmingdale won. It was tough to follow the game though wth all the chatter in the stands about who should be playing, what happened after a game three weeks ago, did the Syosett coach get caught in his underwear?, what are the YJ teams doing, is UVa going to honor commitments? Who is gonna be AA from LI, what is a permissible number of goals a kid can score before its stat padding, are the classes going to be changed next year so good teams only play good teams, did that pervert from Chaminade assault your kid? and of course the requisite cries of "shoot" from the parent of the kid with the ball.
does anyone care about what's going on in Manhasset.....enough is enough with the favoritism and nepotism Coach's son on the first middy line that never comes off the field... People complaining about the attack scoring too many goals and never coming off the field. The only reason for that is so the first middy line can try and have some meaningful production...which,other than the UNC commit, they don't! There is minimal production...and only against inferior teams! Look at the facts and not anyone's opinion....can't hide the facts. Has anyone ever seen a man up squad that can't score?? and yet is in every time? The members of man up and players who have seen the field this season and past seasons are the result of favoritism and nepotism. Coach's son , and friends, loyal team 32 paying customers and sons of employee coaches of team 32...so is this pay to play at a public high school..... Second and Third attack and middy lines have barely hit the field this season. Not acceptable Manhasset. Where is the privilege of being a senior and putting in the hard work for 4 years? We have heard that the best kids are on the field??? Not according to the numbers!!! School board and administration must investigate and take action. Need more people to write letters....anonymous is the only way because as we all have seen, those that complain are severely punished. It is terrible that the administration allows this....you want the players to play for the team? You need a coach who coaches for the team! and now...when you thought it couldn't possibly get worse...the freshman son and his friends etc. have been brought up to varsity...playing over seniors! you just can't make this up. it is OUTRAGEOUS and a conspiracy that we are allowing. Write in to the Board Members and Superintendent

good call ! this horror show of a coach has lost 37 games in the ten years he has coached this team (won 151) and only gone to the state championship game three times and actually lost once. I can not understand how he still has a job.
oh well, I tried to get us back on track...cant blame a guy for trying.

If true, his is shocking about this coach, you should come to our town where everything is done fair. Our coach sends out a survey before every game and polls the parents on who should start and play and then does whatever the majority wants, he is just there for a paycheck and not to win and certainly not to upset the parents. I wish more coaches were like this, after all it is about participation not winning that's why we don't keep score.
NEXT YEAR IT WILL BE WORSE. CHAMNIADE HAD A LEGIT GOALIE THIS YEAR
I have always been amazed at the how the better lax teams/schools have vocalized their issues. SWR a few years ago, the recent bickering in 3village or GC, ow Syo and Port going at it. Sayville swiftly booting the coach. and lets not forget CSH slap gate. All of these schools are relatively in the mix. Year after year.
I am sure you have other towns with their issues but never airing their grievances out here. Do they have class and take things in house and note spew venom publically or are they just okay to live with the notion of mediocre!

with the season over for most schools.
Who over achieved?
Who underachieved?
Who loses the most talent?
Who's talent coming up will help them over the hump?

good call ! this horror show of a coach has lost 37 games in the ten years he has coached this team (won 151) and only gone to the state championship game three times and actually lost once. I can not understand how he still has a job.

I am sure you have other towns with their issues but never airing their grievances out here. Do they have class and take things in house and note spew venom publically or are they just okay to live with the notion of mediocre!

You do not see West Islip or Farmingdale griping and I guess you can describe them as mediocre if you have never seen a,lacrosse game before. Over the past 20 years just wins and no excuses but the West Islip parents are tough to listen to.

In the words of Rodney Dangerfield......"oh, tough crowd....tough crowd"
Why would you continue to play these weak schedules year after year and expect a different result. Don't challenge your exceptional players with good opponents. Just keep padding your record during the season and get embarrassed in the big games....ALWAYS!!! Uw

If youre talking about Chaminade, youre a clown. Take a look at their schedule and get a clue.
In the top programs coaches are paid to win, period. They play the best payers regardless of grade. As for our comment about the 3rd line middies and attack - what team at any level other than PAL plays 3rd line unless it's a blow out? No one my friend. I'm sorry your senior isn't on the field, it hurts but we are here to win.

"Top program coaches" are not paid to win in the public schools. They are paid to coach. Winning has nothing to do with it. The coach could lose every game and he's not going anywhere . Not sure who told you this but it is factually unnaccurate.
Expect a clean sweep of the home teams today in Suffolk A. It will make for some great semi final matches.
My prediction is West Islip vs Connetquot final with Connetquot winning it all.

fair prediction, I don't think quot gets past sme-
If WM gets by SMW today, WI/WM will be an intense one, with 50 50 chance for both teams. If SMW wins today, I predict they upset WI and play SME in final...

I think your right, WI gets upset one of these games, too many 1 goal games all year, living dangerously eventually catches up. SE wins it all, theyre too good offensively and at the X

Sorry here is my yearly rant... Maybe some changes can take place at Turning Stone this year. Sorry if my request takes time away from your gambling! Which asks the question why would a NY State School/Educational organization like NYSPHSAA have a conference at a casino??? on The Tax payers dime!
Here's my rant...
Am I the only one who gets twisted when I see how the brackets get laid out for the NY State Championships.
Don't get me wrong I love that you have a Long Island Champ, but why not have that same opportunity also be for State champ. We are effectively giving participation slots out by playing/seeding the championships by geography.
Have a true Champions format having the weakest sects play the strongest. How can Ct and NJ do it. Not to sure How PA does it but they are just as big
Come on for Class B, Upstate 2 games in for the state playoff could be. Messina vs Dewitt, then Dewitt vs Vestal or Horsehead.
Meanwhile the LI teams play Sect 8 vs Sect 11 then most likely go to play Sect 1. In B at least there are 11 sections why are the top 4 playing each other the first 2 rounds!!!
The sectional games within Sect 8 or 11 would have be more competitive than the State games between sect 3/4/10.
Why not play in a ranking system. Highest plays lowest.
That's like asking Dewitt to Victor in the first round. EVERY FLUKING YEAR... Why not, they are neighboring sections!!! I am sure neither want that. But thats okay, have Sect 8 and 11 beat each other up to advance... to play what is another top 4 section in sect 1
Whats the issue, budgetary come on make a trip out of it. At the very least if travel time is a factor figure it out its not to hard. You are effectively giving teams a pass to the next round that wouldn't otherwise get out of round 1 in a true playoff format.
Why does Sect 1 get the pass of playing Sect 9. Why does Sect 3 get the pass and play sect 10.

agree totally....getting off LI is grueling , and nassau B plays an extra game...crazy
Budget???? Where does all the money go that we have to pay to attend a section 11 game. Im sure they cant account for the money for that slush fund. Teachers sitting at a desk taking cash from fans. Im sure some of that goes south into their pockets.

Really? Then maybe we should just do the middle school format and everybody plays. Make sure Johnny gets a participation trophy. In the top programs coaches will be replaced if they lose every game. Fact. Name one LI coach who has continually lost every game in a mediocre program and still is coaching today at the same school?
Craig is great but the without the community supporting the Lacrosse program they wouldn't be able to compete. WI community supports LAX from when their kids are in diapers..

Has anyone played club over the summer team ? Not that I recall. I think that has happened at WM, but not WI. As long as summer team came first, and club was second you were good. With the state of ER, I think it is a matter of time before a kid chooses club first because of the better exposure. If the kid has the talent to play at a Top 20 school I don't think I could fault them.

I think your right, WI gets upset one of these games, too many 1 goal games all year, living dangerously eventually catches up. SE wins it all, theyre too good offensively and at the X

Here's my rant...
Am I the only one who gets twisted when I see how the brackets get laid out for the NY State Championships.
Don't get me wrong I love that you have a Long Island Champ, but why not have that same opportunity also be for State champ. We are effectively giving participation slots out by playing/seeding the championships by geography.
Have a true Champions format having the weakest sects play the strongest. How can Ct and NJ do it. Not to sure How PA does it but they are just as big
Come on for Class B, Upstate 2 games in for the state playoff could be. Messina vs Dewitt, then Dewitt vs Vestal or Horsehead.
Meanwhile the LI teams play Sect 8 vs Sect 11 then most likely go to play Sect 1. In B at least there are 11 sections why are the top 4 playing each other the first 2 rounds!!!
The sectional games within Sect 8 or 11 would have be more competitive than the State games between sect 3/4/10.
Why not play in a ranking system. Highest plays lowest.
That's like asking Dewitt to Victor in the first round. EVERY FLUKING YEAR... Why not, they are neighboring sections!!! I am sure neither want that. But thats okay, have Sect 8 and 11 beat each other up to advance... to play what is another top 4 section in sect 1
Whats the issue, budgetary come on make a trip out of it. At the very least if travel time is a factor figure it out its not to hard. You are effectively giving teams a pass to the next round that wouldn't otherwise get out of round 1 in a true playoff format.
Why does Sect 1 get the pass of playing Sect 9. Why does Sect 3 get the pass and play sect 10.

Section 1 also has to play Section 2, which typically has some very good teams in Class A such as Niskayuna. So not a cakewalk for Class A at least.
I think you have to look at it as a 4 team playoff with the number 1 seed being Long Island 2 and 3 central western and 4 downstate. Long Island gets the benefit of playing the 4 seed. Also the 4 seed has the toughest road as it should be , in that they have to beat both Long Island and Upstate to win . The bottom line is there is no cheap or fluky champion.

The only reason for that is so the first middy line can try and have some meaningful production...which,other than the UNC commit, they don't! There is minimal production...and only against inferior teams! Look at the facts and not anyone's opinion....can't hide the facts. Has anyone ever seen a man up squad that can't score?? and yet is in every time? The members of man up and players who have seen the field this season and past seasons are the result of favoritism and nepotism. Coach's son , and friends, loyal team 32 paying customers and sons of employee coaches of team 32...so is this pay to play at a public high school..... Second and Third attack and middy lines have barely hit the field this season. Not acceptable Manhasset. Where is the privilege of being a senior and putting in the hard work for 4 years? We have heard that the best kids are on the field??? Not according to the numbers!!! School board and administration must investigate and take action. Need more people to write letters....anonymous is the only way because as we all have seen, those that complain are severely punished. It is terrible that the administration allows this....you want the players to play for the team? You need a coach who coaches for the team! and now...when you thought it couldn't possibly get worse...the freshman son and his friends etc. have been brought up to varsity...playing over seniors! you just can't make this up. it is OUTRAGEOUS and a conspiracy that we are allowing. Write in to the Board Members and Superintendent
good call ! this horror show of a coach has lost 37 games in the ten years he has coached this team (won 151) and only gone to the state championship game three times and actually lost once. I can not understand how he still has a job.
sorry for the delay, I had a presentation to complete for work

why so sad? did your daddy not hug you when you were a baby? so sad that life isn't working out for you. turn that frown upside down.

And what is your A competition.
I think the State Championship arrangement is reasonable given the limitations. The winner of each Class has to travel a tough road. There are some very strong teams in the upstate sections . Winners of the tournament last year were Class A- Section 2. Class B-Section 5 and Class C- Section 8. The previous year Class A- Section 8 Class B - Section 1 and Class C Section 1 . It is just not practical to seed the tournament in a traditional sense. I think the 4 teams in each class in the semis are very strong teams. The ultimate champion is very deserving.
Also worth noting, the Sectional Finals are actually sometimes more exciting for the teams involved than the actual state championships. They are very well attended with a lot of enthusiasm from the various communities.

You do not see West Islip or Farmingdale griping and I guess you can describe them as mediocre if you have never seen a,lacrosse game before. Over the past 20 years just wins and no excuses but the West Islip parents are tough to listen to.
Nope, Wi goes under the title of "there are issues but they keep it in house". A few years back when they were doing just as well there were posts on here but coach Craig does an amazing job with that community.
Farmingdale really want to get started there.

I am sure you have other towns with their issues but never airing their grievances out here. Do they have class and take things in house and note spew venom publically or are they just okay to live with the notion of mediocre!

You do not see West Islip or Farmingdale griping and I guess you can describe them as mediocre if you have never seen a,lacrosse game before. Over the past 20 years just wins and no excuses but the West Islip parents are tough to listen to.
Nope, Wi goes under the title of "there are issues but they keep it in house". A few years back when they were doing just as well there were posts on here but coach Craig does an amazing job with that community.
Farmingdale really want to get started there.
Craig has them wrapped around his finger..if you miss his summer league you might as well quit because you are behind the 8 ball. Must be great being the puppet master over these kids and parents. Play travel and not for him is looked down upon. That's the truth
So what? Craig wants his players to learn the right way to play the game, not ME ME ME summer club lacrosse. What's wrong with that. There's also something to be said for building team chemistry by paying together as much as possible. Craig and WI (and WM) do it the right way. Club programs are ruining lacrosse.

Here's my rant...
Am I the only one who gets twisted when I see how the brackets get laid out for the NY State Championships.
Don't get me wrong I love that you have a Long Island Champ, but why not have that same opportunity also be for State champ. We are effectively giving participation slots out by playing/seeding the championships by geography.
Have a true Champions format having the weakest sects play the strongest. How can Ct and NJ do it. Not to sure How PA does it but they are just as big
Come on for Class B, Upstate 2 games in for the state playoff could be. Messina vs Dewitt, then Dewitt vs Vestal or Horsehead.
Meanwhile the LI teams play Sect 8 vs Sect 11 then most likely go to play Sect 1. In B at least there are 11 sections why are the top 4 playing each other the first 2 rounds!!!
The sectional games within Sect 8 or 11 would have be more competitive than the State games between sect 3/4/10.
Why not play in a ranking system. Highest plays lowest.
That's like asking Dewitt to Victor in the first round. EVERY FLUKING YEAR... Why not, they are neighboring sections!!! I am sure neither want that. But thats okay, have Sect 8 and 11 beat each other up to advance... to play what is another top 4 section in sect 1
Whats the issue, budgetary come on make a trip out of it. At the very least if travel time is a factor figure it out its not to hard. You are effectively giving teams a pass to the next round that wouldn't otherwise get out of round 1 in a true playoff format.
Why does Sect 1 get the pass of playing Sect 9. Why does Sect 3 get the pass and play sect 10.

I think you have to look at it as a 4 team playoff with the number 1 seed being Long Island 2 and 3 central western and 4 downstate. Long Island gets the benefit of playing the 4 seed. Also the 4 seed has the toughest road as it should be , in that they have to beat both Long Island and Upstate to win . The bottom line is there is no cheap or fluky champion.
Please please please if Nisky ever had to run into 8 then 11 they would never go the distance. Never
Pretty sure Nisky beat Syosset in last years state semifinal, just sayin..... please have facts before you make ignorant statements......the lacrosse world doesnt begin and end on Long Island.
The bottomline is LI teams have to play many VERY tough opponents all the way through the playoffs to get off the Island. Are they beat up by the time the semis start? Who did Nisky play on their way to finals?

Theres also something to be said for broadening your horizons and challenging your players against the best players from around the country not just your town or the county. Club programs arent ruining lacrosse at all, as long as your a smart consumer and find the right program for your kid, it can be a great experience. Also I hate to break it to you but kids are being recruited through the club and showcase scene. WI has a great program and a great history of success, but there is a also a flip side to that coin.

Nisky played Warwick and Mamaroneck before playing SYO. Syo had one lone game against SE who they beat quite easily. Whats your point? SYO had a much tougher road? Sorry try again. Yes the competition on LI is very good, but the upstate teams can play. If Nisky were in SUffolk or Nassau A they would be right in the mix every year, as would be Victor, West Genny, and plenty of others. I have a question, how did the LI teams do OFF Long Island this year against ranked opponents? Other than St A and Chaminade I cant think of one LI team that traveled off LI. Did any of the LI Publics even travel off LI this year? LI doesnt dominate anymore like in years past, the rest of the country is catching up and catching up fast.

Are you kidding me guy? Get this straight, Long Island DOES NOT need to travel ouit of Long Island. Besides MD we dominate in Lax. Yes, there are good Ct, NJ, Pa, and Upstate teams, but if you take the top 50 Lax schools on Long Island, nowhere besides Md even comes close. We would consistently smoke upstate. Keep dreaming though.

Seems like the "Club Kids" as usual are dominating the "in house" crowd. WW beats WI. Just got email from PB at Outlaws. Seems like 12 kids on WW are on Outlaws. Perhaps being exposed to better competition, playing with better players and getting different coaching helped improve the WW program. Even after losing the most dominate face off kid ever. This is the point where all the Outlaw haters can try and refute the facts. The final four teams are all littered with "Club kids". Sorry, but that just a fact.

entire club teams are committed and most before they play varsity these days. college coaches by the dozens lining the sidelines with clipboards in hand. its a rare day (except for a SA/Chammy playoff) where college coaches gather in any significant numbers to see a high school game. why would they when the cream of the crop is at the numerous major club tournaments every weekend of the summer? club teams ruining the sport? I think not. More likely the HS coach who demands his teams stay under his wing and not venture out to play the best the nation has to offer is the ruination of the HS aspect of the sport. Why not let the kids go to expand their skills among the best and rise to the level of play that demands?
Allowing them to do so would serve to bring higher level skills back to the fold at the HS which can then be absorbed by the kids who don't play club ball.

I think you have to look at it as a 4 team playoff with the number 1 seed being Long Island 2 and 3 central western and 4 downstate. Long Island gets the benefit of playing the 4 seed. Also the 4 seed has the toughest road as it should be , in that they have to beat both Long Island and Upstate to win . The bottom line is there is no cheap or fluky champion.
Please please please if Nisky ever had to run into 8 then 11 they would never go the distance. Never
Pretty sure Nisky beat Syosset in last years state semifinal, just sayin..... please have facts before you make ignorant statements......the lacrosse world doesnt begin and end on Long Island.
The bottomline is LI teams have to play many VERY tough opponents all the way through the playoffs to get off the Island. Are they beat up by the time the semis start? Who did Nisky play on their way to finals?
Nisky played Warwick and Mamaroneck before playing SYO. Syo had one lone game against SE who they beat quite easily. Whats your point? SYO had a much tougher road? Sorry try again. Yes the competition on LI is very good, but the upstate teams can play. If Nisky were in SUffolk or Nassau A they would be right in the mix every year, as would be Victor, West Genny, and plenty of others. I have a question, how did the LI teams do OFF Long Island this year against ranked opponents? Other than St A and Chaminade I cant think of one LI team that traveled off LI. Did any of the LI Publics even travel off LI this year? LI doesnt dominate anymore like in years past, the rest of the country is catching up and catching up fast.
I wonder if centuries ago the Native Americans bickered about whether they needed to travel off their local land because they needed to test their mettle against other tribes?

Yes they did. Big gamblers though. Lost their land in a braveheart at the turkey shootout!

Are you kidding me guy? Get this straight, Long Island DOES NOT need to travel ouit of Long Island. Besides MD we dominate in Lax. Yes, there are good Ct, NJ, Pa, and Upstate teams, but if you take the top 50 Lax schools on Long Island, nowhere besides Md even comes close. We would consistently smoke upstate. Keep dreaming though. [/quote]
Not even close, sorry. So first off, no one is saying the teams need to travel, Im saying they SHOULD travel. Wouldnt you like to see how our teams stack up against the rest of the country? Dont you think that it benefits the teams that do it? As for your top 50 comment, please stop, there are maybe 20 quality programs on Long Island, the rest are mediocre at best.

Get a clue. Craig won when he had studs. Please explain "the right way". How is club lacrosse ruining the sport?
Seems like the "Club Kids" as usual are dominating the "in house" crowd. WW beats WI. Just got email from PB at Outlaws. Seems like 12 kids on WW are on Outlaws. Perhaps being exposed to better competition, playing with better players and getting different coaching helped improve the WW program. Even after losing the most dominate face off kid ever. This is the point where all the Outlaw haters can try and refute the facts. The final four teams are all littered with "Club kids". Sorry, but that just a fact. [/quote]
entire club teams are committed and most before they play varsity these days. college coaches by the dozens lining the sidelines with clipboards in hand. its a rare day (except for a SA/Chammy playoff) where college coaches gather in any significant numbers to see a high school game. why would they when the cream of the crop is at the numerous major club tournaments every weekend of the summer? club teams ruining the sport? I think not. More likely the HS coach who demands his teams stay under his wing and not venture out to play the best the nation has to offer is the ruination of the HS aspect of the sport. Why not let the kids go to expand their skills among the best and rise to the level of play that demands?
Allowing them to do so would serve to bring higher level skills back to the fold at the HS which can then be absorbed by the kids who don't play club ball. [/quote]
Couldnt agree more. Club ball is great for competition and the expansion of the sport. Seems to me very few towns are still clinging to the old way of only playing with your school team, and the ones that do are being passed by. The WW-WI example is right on the money, the WI kids do not play outside lacrosse as a general rule.
and the tribes from Maryland with the most hold-backs and reclassified Braves usually won
"Club programs are ruining lacrosse"
I see this statement posted on this site many times without any supporting argument behind it. How is it the fastest growing sport in the country, and more exciting than ever, AND at the same time also being "ruined" by Club. Tell some kid from Oregon that absolutely loves the game that club is ruining the sport (you didn't confine your comment to LI so neither will I). Staying closer to home, look at Suffolk A this year for example. What a war all year between traditional and non-traditional powerhouses. So many schools are now competitive - very few easy outs. And this is great for the sport. Unless you can give me a better explanation, its safe to say that you can attribute this to the instruction, training and competition that the kids from towns without strong local programs are getting from their club programs. sure, the scene is way to watered down but like everything else - buyer beware. I would agree with you if you qualified your statement by saying "kids are leaving their local programs to receive poorer instruction and play at marginal club programs just to say they play club". Then you may have something (I wont name individual clubs and start a whole mess of drama). Not every district has strong feeder programs like a WI, WM, GC, SYO, Manh (no slight intended if I missed one of the other strong ones), and club programs are a viable option for kids who are serious about the sport but aren't fortunate enough to play in a district that has a strong In-House/Pal program. I know that all club programs are not created equal, but lets stop with the non-supported hyperbolic statements about what is being "ruined" by what. lacrosse is stronger than ever and you may not like the fact that kids from Texas, Michigan and California for example, are playing all over D1. But that is an indicator of the strength of the game - and attributable to club. I will put my soap box away now.

Freudian post of the year.....lol
Wow, does Craig profit off the summer team? I know there are coaches who run a rackets but didn't think it was happening in West Islip.

I will give you one reason why club teams are ruining the game. What about town pride?? I grew up in a blue collar town but had a great team. I am proud of where I grew up and when ever asked I say it with pride (2 t . the i). The other day I watched a game and all the kids were wearing different helmets from their club teams. The haves and have nots. What happened to school colors.
Brings me to my second reason. People figured out they can make a lot of money off everyone who thinks there kid is the next best thing. Even the equipment companies joined in by raising prices on everything. Do you know all equipment is made the same and do you know what it cost to make a plastic head?? Because of this parents (some anyway) can not afford to buy 2 helmets.

Town Pride? Last time I checked all the Club kids also play for their respective schools. I have never heard of a boy missing school ball in order to go to something for a club team. As far as the helmets go, the school should provide them. As for the money, it is my understanding that there are HS coaches charging a lot of $$ to play for their Town Team in the summer. The conflict of interest is pretty clear to me.
Great points, I'm looking around for a club team for my son , I don't know why but I am , I think his town team can play with most club teams for 1/4 of the price. But I'm looking ! Almost found a team now but when I found out the price I couldn't believe it and there's only couple months lefted. I didn't play LAX but played ice hockey at college level. I still play to this day. The big hype is outta control for what , get little money for college and after college that's about it. People have to stop with this full ride crap , no full ride in LAX. Some of the kids that put so much time and money into but there's no real return like Baseball and football if you make it to the pro level. It's out of control and a money maker.

kid with a 92 average and 1300 sat getting into an Ivy or Patriot league is enough of a return for me

Ok thats a good list. The TOP 20 teams out of that list can go out and compete anywhere with anyone, the rest? Not so much. Ask HHW what happened when they played Calvert Hall this year. Only St.A and Chaminade went off LI this year and competed well. As for tournaments, I can only say that yes there are a ton of tourneys played here in the summer, but I would also venture to say that 3/4 of them are a straight money grab and a straight waste of time.

Bring your best Long Island HS summer town teams to the likes of Crabfest or Adrenaline cup for example and watch how quickly they are taken out in the first round summer after summer. Club teams love it as they are an easy win to the next round.

Thats very funny, It's the long island teams that win those tournaments, even playing against your 19 year old seniors!

I think those some stong Lax schools....we don't "Need" to go anywhere. More tourneys are played on LI then anywhere else. Why ?
Ok thats a good list. The TOP 20 teams out of that list can go out and compete anywhere with anyone, the rest? Not so much. Ask HHW what happened when they played Calvert Hall this year. Only St.A and Chaminade went off LI this year and competed well. As for tournaments, I can only say that yes there are a ton of tourneys played here in the summer, but I would also venture to say that 3/4 of them are a straight money grab and a straight waste of time.
And the level of quality of the teams willing to suffer the traffic and travel to play 2nd level lax where absolutely zero college coaches show up to watch is no incentive to come to the money grab Long Island " tournaments". Bring your best Long Island HS summer town teams to the likes of Crabfest or Adrenaline cup for example and watch how quickly they are taken out in the first round summer after summer. Club teams love it as they are an easy win to the next round.
Thats very funny, It's the long island teams that win those tournaments, even playing against your 19 year old seniors!
Funny in that you don't comprehend or process what was written. Long Island CLUB TEAMS win those tournaments. Proving the point that HS town teams cannot compete. Even the top Long Island club teams are reluctant to play in the 2nd level Island tournaments. HS town club teams cannot even win these 2nd level tournaments against weaker club teams.
So then; what is ruining the progress of the town lax team? I'm glad you asked; cloistered town club teams with players afraid to step off of the reservation and dip a toe into the higher level club scene out of fear from the town coaches who will possibly punish them during regular season school lax. That's a good start as to what is trying to ruin the growth of the sport. The conflict of interest is clear to see; yet fear of reprisals keep them corralled with stunted tournament growth as a team and as individual players.
Nisky played Warwick and Mamaroneck before playing SYO. Syo had one lone game against SE who they beat quite easily. Whats your point? SYO had a much tougher road? Sorry try again. Yes the competition on LI is very good, but the upstate teams can play. If Nisky were in SUffolk or Nassau A they would be right in the mix every year, as would be Victor, West Genny, and plenty of others. I have a question, how did the LI teams do OFF Long Island this year against ranked opponents? Other than St A and Chaminade I cant think of one LI team that traveled off LI. Did any of the LI Publics even travel off LI this year? LI doesnt dominate anymore like in years past, the rest of the country is catching up and catching up fast. [/quote]
Are you kidding me guy? Get this straight, Long Island DOES NOT need to travel ouit of Long Island. Besides MD we dominate in Lax. Yes, there are good Ct, NJ, Pa, and Upstate teams, but if you take the top 50 Lax schools on Long Island, nowhere besides Md even comes close. We would consistently smoke upstate. Keep dreaming though. [/quote]
Not even close, sorry. So first off, no one is saying the teams need to travel, Im saying they SHOULD travel. Wouldnt you like to see how our teams stack up against the rest of the country? Dont you think that it benefits the teams that do it? As for your top 50 comment, please stop, there are maybe 20 quality programs on Long Island, the rest are mediocre at best.
==========================
Lest we forget that in 2015 Syo had to also beat Pequa in the Nassau Class A final. A Pequa team that was defending 2014 Class A NYS Champs who were riding a 34 game winning streak.
20 quality programs and the rest are mediocre at best?!? That statement is ridiculous. So other than 20 programs the talent level on LI is basically below average, as per the clown who posted it.
But you still haven't articulated why club is ruining the game as a whole. Remember, Lacrosse is not only played on LI anymore, and club may be the only option for thousands of kids who don't have a strong local or school program. Believe it or not, even on LI, one of the hotbeds, there are numerous districts which don't have a strong local youth/school lacrosse program. And that's right here on LI. You don't like the fact that these kids wear the wrong helmets to practice. OK, I agree with you there. The coach should put a stop to that. When my kid does the local summer clinic with the high school players/coaches, all of the boys wear the town/school colors and not their club. As a matter of fact, my son plays on one of the bigger club programs here on the Island and the boys on his team wear their high school helmets to club practice! Look, club isn't for everyone, its expensive and involves a lot of time and travel. For some people it works out, for others it doesn't. I will agree that on LI club has become a ridiculous racket, with kids leaving their town programs to play for a C team and get coached by teenagers. That is why I said buyer beware. I still don't think either of your reasons are well articulated cause and effect. Plenty of kids playing in the NCAA today who would not be there but for club lacrosse. You don't like it - we get it, but what is good for you might not necessarily be good for everyone else- and vice versa.

The haves and have nots. What happened to school colors.
Brings me to my second reason. People figured out they can make a lot of money off everyone who thinks there kid is the next best thing. Even the equipment companies joined in by raising prices on everything. Do you know all equipment is made the same and do you know what it cost to make a plastic head?? Because of this parents (some anyway) can not afford to buy 2 helmets.

Once you get past the top programs, yes the talent level is average. Its not a slight on anyone, and there are talented kids all over LI but the programs as a whole are mediocre in comparison. Sorry you feel the need to resort to name calling because your reading comprehension skills and simple awareness skills are lacking. So let me ask you this, how do you think the 21st ranked team on your "list" would fair against the top teams from other regions? If we are so superior your #21 ranked team should be able to beat or compete with the top ranked teams from CT, NJ, Upstate, yes?
In the past 20 years the club phenomenon has exploded in numbers. Years back there were a few clubs that really dominated the so called club scene. Most of these clubs are still around and playing quality ball at different age groups. When the Long Island Club scene was only a few programs they dominated almost every tournament and recruiting events at every age. This is not to say that they were not great programs in other areas but it seemed the talent level was off the charts on these teams from Long Island. Some of these programs were started out of pure love for the game and others were started out of necessity due to a lack of quality lacrosse in an individuals town. They were started by lacrosse guys who had lacrosse friends and who knew the game inside and out that were willing to have 3 practices a week. When there werent 500 distractions like travel soccer,travel hockey, and all the other distractions kids face today. When it was limited to 1 or even 2 teams per age group and even sometimes not having a team in a certain age the lacrosse was amazing. I am sorry to say the evolution of clubs has resulted in a diluted product on Long Island. There are only so many great coaches and only so many great players to go around who truly are committed to the teams. That is why you see some programs with stronger age groups than others when it used to be a program had strong teams across all age groups. There are so many club teams and town only teams that it makes it difficult for Long Island to put the same quality product on the fields like it used to. Now factor the money aspect. So many people saw and see the $$$$$ and start programs just for the money. That is why you see 3 to 4 teams per age group from one club and they claim AA, A, B, and C ratings of these clubs. When this is occurs you have all the complaints we hear on this site
1. Poor coaching
2. Not enough practices
3. Not enough kids showing up
and a whole slew of other issues. As parents we want to give our kids the opportunity to play. Playing on a club team might be the only way to go for some due to lack of lacrosse in an individuals town or the need to play better caliber with better players for that stud kid who just has it. I know we all think our kids are great but there is a small handful that are the 1% that play the game at an elite level. For the most part these were the kids that used to play on club teams 20 years ago. Now everyone is afforded the opportunity to play club ball and thats fine but remember this, its a diluted product and you always dont get what you pay for. As long as people are willing to pay there will always be club teams of all different calibers.
The expansion of the sport has resulted in clubs popping up across the country. You see these teams doing well because they have 400 kids from a whole state tryout for 25 slots and 1 team. These are like our Long Island programs 20 years ago. It just goes with the territory of the game expanding and being introduced to areas and athletes that never played or heard of lacrosse until recently.

Adrenaline is on Long Island this summer, so it must now be a money grab with weak teams.

no; it will be a financial donation for weak teams to give to the cup directors; the same club teams will beat up on any LI HS town club teams
Adrenaline is a club, invitation-only tournament. They invite top club (10-12)teams from different regions of the country and Canada so athletes from different areas get maximum exposure. They limit the number of teams invited from hotbeds so usually the only teams invited from LI will be 91 and LIE, and MD will be Crabs and Madlax. There will be no "weak" teams there or HS summer teams. Been to this thing twice already and I know the format. Look up the event on their website for more detailed information. Or just do what people typically do on this site- stir up nonsense with absolutely zero facts. from
no; it will be a financial donation for weak teams to give to the cup directors; the same club teams will beat up on any LI HS town club teams

Get a clue. Craig won when he had studs. Please explain "the right way". How is club lacrosse ruining the sport? [/quote]
Seems like the "Club Kids" as usual are dominating the "in house" crowd. WW beats WI. Just got email from PB at Outlaws. Seems like 12 kids on WW are on Outlaws. Perhaps being exposed to better competition, playing with better players and getting different coaching helped improve the WW program. Even after losing the most dominate face off kid ever. This is the point where all the Outlaw haters can try and refute the facts. The final four teams are all littered with "Club kids". Sorry, but that just a fact. [/quote]
What qualifications does PB have exactly?? Where did PB ever play organized lacrosse in his life?? Answer .... no where!!!!!!!!!!! Not an authority!
He may not be an authority on lacrosse by your standards but I am pretty sure he can count to 12

Are you insinuating that because WW had 12 kids that play for Outlaws is the reason they were successful. 1st things 1st did all 12 play on Varsity. What teams do the the 12 play on with Outlaws? If it's mostly the 2017 kids then we know that's the old Gladiators. As for having 12 kids play for WW I would say they should have a lot of kids since Huntington is their draw being the team is based out of the Huntington area. His emails are hysterical and so are his lacrosse credentials.

You realize that you're arguing with PB now, right? He's the only one that posts positive stuff about the Outlaws, including the other day when he mentioned how well the WW goalie played. PB pumping his own tires, anonymously of course.

Not PB but curious, I dotn follow you, you are all over the place.
*12 kids playing
*Outlaws is a Huntington base team
*17 are old gladiators.
Who cares, what does that have to do with anything. Where are they playing now. I would like to know are they getting to go play at the next level, and if so who helped that happen. If Outlaws then great. I say this because I know many kids who have been poached away from clubs and the new clubs get the credit for the kids successes especially if recruited. Just like a HS trying to take credit when it is all club. Talent is talent.
Talent rises to the top, who can help that talent to the next level. We know XCI can as well as Express, now if Outlaws can too great!

That's debatable ...
Well actually, PB can definitely count to $2500 bc that's what he ripped us off for this year to be in his organization. First and last time I'll do that. As a matter of fact from what Ive experienced ,and heard from many others , he can count to any number that has a dollar sign in front of it .

Any scores from today suffolk county?
Now that Walt Whitman lost maybe some of the outlaws teams can get some of coaches attention that payed good money to play but never have practices because of the HS team , can we pro rate it again.
Yeah b/c the PW parents were not a factor in TR leaving for HHH. Worry about your own town. SYO will take care of itself. That emergency meeting you mentioned had 100% player and parent attendance in full support of JC. If you knew what you were talking about you would know that the issue with boys after the StAnts game was raised by another faculty member not a parent. Division in program is no different than any other on the island so until PW gets its get program in order and until PW beats SYO on the field shut ur pie hole.
The meeting at the bar had kids. Don't think so. You know the one with all the accusations flying around. As for the middle school not feeding the High School program what planet do you live on? Ohh wait you live in Syosset the land of make believe. I don't know anything about why the previous coach left and won't even mention him. You make it sound like you are playing. The kids are and they aren't on here talking crap. You and some disgruntled 8th grade parent from Port who thinks his kids is going to be playing varsity in 9th grade are. Who thinks airing out BS on here will get him somewhere.
===============================
I guess now all the Port Lax Parents can start planning their summer vacations.
Glad to see that Syo got every kid on the team in the game tonight.

If Outlaws then great. I say this because I know many kids who have been poached away from clubs and the new clubs get the credit for the kids successes especially if recruited. Just like a HS trying to take credit when it is all club. Talent is talent.
Talent rises to the top, who can help that talent to the next level. We know XCI can as well as Express, now if Outlaws can too great!
***...nice touch (not many parents there will understand that though)
really had to spell it out! Some thing's should be left unsaid or unwritten.

The meeting at the bar had kids. Don't think so. You know the one with all the accusations flying around. As for the middle school not feeding the High School program what planet do you live on? Ohh wait you live in Syosset the land of make believe. I don't know anything about why the previous coach left and won't even mention him. You make it sound like you are playing. The kids are and they aren't on here talking crap. You and some disgruntled 8th grade parent from Port who thinks his kids is going to be playing varsity in 9th grade are. Who thinks airing out BS on here will get him somewhere.
===============================
I guess now all the Port Lax Parents can start planning their summer vacations.
Glad to see that Syo got every kid on the team in the game tonight.

Did Port play with 10 kids or where they short one all game at a key position??????
this was an attempt at humor via sarcasm with reference to earlier posts that the coaches don't play the best players and a younger kid is better then an older kid who does play, the post was sarcastic in nature but not unfortunately humorous in execution

Did you really delete a post about a 21 year old man (no names or identification) who is a quasi celebrity in our small lax community who was screaming and cursing at 15 and 16 year olds at a game? please explain the logic? If he did not want negative attention drawn to himself he should not have stood on the rail the whole game yelling at HS kids that they F&*%6 S&*#

Good friend of PB, great to see 12 outlaws play in a semi final game yesterday!
-The New PB fan club!
-The New PB fan club!
Can we get back to HS Lax?? Who has predictions in the Suffolk A and Nassau A finals?
Does anyone know when and where the High School playoffs are?
Someone explain the situation that was previously being talked about at the game, what game was it? Also Connequot will win.

Sorry no explanation. It's done and gone.
You do realize you didn't have to play there, right? There are plenty of other clubs on Long Island that will take your money just as easily as OL... and make the same promises.. and yield you the same results...if it sounds too good...it is too good!

Yes Mr Anonymous. I am doing what I think is right as a moderator. Don't like it too bad.
what the [lacrosse] is up with this nonsense ...
Hate to break it to you guys but nobody really cares about Port Washington lacrosse right now. Can we focus on the games to be played instead? I like WM by 2.
I agree. Can we get back to the playoffs and talking lacrosse rather than BS.
12-9 Pequa over Farmingdale
Any update on Suffolk B?

In that case everything on this site is heresay because that's all people do is say things and it's posted without any proof and that's always allowed through and kept on this site. Btw not exactly heresay when in this case everyone from port and syo saw and heard it happening and for some insane reason the PW supervisors did nothing. Unacceptable, embarrassing behavior . Any other town /person and I guess the post would have been kept on BOTC for all to see.

I dont let individuals get singled out. I do my best to keep it lacrosse discussion not attacks on people. I actually protected Syosset from a lot of posts and crap about their coach during that whole incident. You wont believe what was being said. Again I was at the game so I am pretty aware of what went on. So please stop trying to stir the pot. Its OVER. DONE. Get over it. Syosset won the game they let the talking be done on the field. Isn't that enough.
SWR over Comsewogue today 7-4. It was a battle of two really good teams. Great crowd and great lacrosse.
How can you say that when the Elevate owner has been continually singled out for weeks. Tough to selectively choose who gets singled out

I am one moderator and don't live on here. Others approve posts also. I can't read every post. Do my best. If more people registered it would help eliminate the BS. Let's talk lacrosse.
Anyone know why the last of the 3rd quarter and entire 4th quarter missing from MSG site Farmingdale/Mass game? A time out called and video ends?
Not sure . Missed massapequa's 8 unanswered goals to end the game .
WM v quot
Syo v pequa
Friday morning predictions?
I personally think WM/quot too close to call, it will go to the team with better goalie play on that day.
Haven't seen syo and pequa at all but it sounds like syo had the better year.

SYO won first meeting by 1, close game, SYO also scored on themselves. I pick SYO by 4, 11-7.

I just deleted a post that mentioned kids by heir whole name and what schools they attend. Please lets not do this or go there with kids names.
Probably because they were paid to cut off the part where Farmingdale CHOKED and threw away the game. All comes down to HORRIBLE coaching. So much talent in the dale but you can't win championships with over rated coaches. Two years in a row they were up by 5 goals and blew it in the 4th quarter. The LAX Hall of Fame called, they want their trophy back.
they probably cut it off because it's Too embarrassing for the daler coaches. what a choke. how do you let that happen 2 yrs in a row?

You really think the old HC makes the calls ? Leave the man alone you have no idea what you are talking about.
Looks like ALL the coaches are to blame poor kids deserve better hopefully the dale gets a whole new coaching staff would love to see them win states next year

I am sure you have other towns with their issues but never airing their grievances out here. Do they have class and take things in house and note spew venom publically or are they just okay to live with the notion of mediocre!

You do not see West Islip or Farmingdale griping and I guess you can describe them as mediocre if you have never seen a,lacrosse game before. Over the past 20 years just wins and no excuses but the West Islip parents are tough to listen to.
Nope, Wi goes under the title of "there are issues but they keep it in house". A few years back when they were doing just as well there were posts on here but coach Craig does an amazing job with that community.
Farmingdale really want to get started there.

They are the better team, was seated as the better team, had a record than Fdale, but were also down by 5 goals in the end of the 3rd. Going into the 4th down by 4. I think poster is saying maybe with some leadership could have held on to lead.
I have been following high school lacrosse for 20 years. As hard as I try I can't understand the love fest the Dalers have for their HC. He won 1 State Championship in 45 years with a team that had 7 DI players on it. IMO that does not make a Hall of Famer. Now let's talk about his choice for his defensive coach. Who exactly was coaching the defense as it once again was unable to hold a 5 goal lead in a playoff game. Someone said it best, I feel bad for the Daler faithful since they clearly deserve better coaches. Maybe they should look no further than the Lady Dalers Varsity coach. That is a CHAMPION coaching staff.
What happens last year?
I think it was the classy Daler fans chanting we can't here you, after that it was all down hill.lol
Wow, that Brown/Maryland game was like the East/Quot semi game, with the exception of East winning nearly every face off and still finding a way to lose! Great game! Will it finally be Maryland's year?

It's seeded, not seated.

You are completely wrong. So much talent?
The Farmingdale coaches could not have gotten more out of the players they had. With the exception of their goalie, they don't have a player that would start for Syosset or Pequa.

Let's all enjoy great Memorial Day weekend showing respect to our veterans, and remember all the important things in life including family and good health. We are all fortunate to live in an area with top-notch competitive lacrosse... It makes all of the players better.
NCAA D1 Championship weekend as well.
Life is good!

^^ Agreed, senior LSM-great player. Too bad he played for the wrong coaches.
Great fortune cookie.
[quote=Anonymous]does anyone care about what's going on in Manhasset.....enough is enough with the favoritism and nepotism Coach's son on the first middy line that never comes off the field... People complaining about the attack scoring too many goals and never coming off the field. The only reason for that is so the first middy line can try and have some meaningful production...which,other than the UNC commit, they don't! There is minimal production...and only against inferior teams! Look at the facts and not anyone's opinion....can't hide the facts. Has anyone ever seen a man up squad that can't score?? and yet is in every time? The members of man up and players who have seen the field this season and past seasons are the result of favoritism and nepotism. Coach's son , and friends, loyal team 32 paying customers and sons of employee coaches of team 32...so is this pay to play at a public high school..... Second and Third attack and middy lines have barely hit the field this season. Not acceptable Manhasset. Where is the privilege of being a senior and putting in the hard work for 4 years? We have heard that the best kids are on the field??? Not according to the numbers!!! School board and administration must investigate and take action. Need more people to write letters....anonymous is the only way because as we all have seen, those that complain are severely punished. It is terrible that the administration allows this....you want the players to play for the team? You need a coach who coaches for the team! and now...when you thought it couldn't possibly get worse...the freshman son and his friends etc. have been brought up to varsity...playing over seniors! you just can't make this up. it is OUTRAGEOUS and a conspiracy that we are allowing. Write in to the Board Members and Superintendent
All true and just the tip of the iceberg of what 's been going on with this program. The Administration is well aware of the issues but have chosen to ignore it.

I'm a coach in Suffolk so truthfully I could care less. But you obviously have an issue with the coaching. But I can tell you Farmingdale is not as good as Massapequa. Your judgment is cluded. Watched the game on MSG varsity. Your goalie stood on his head in the first half. You got owned on faceoffs. Your midfielders are not as good. You have 3 great players. Massapequa has one star better than your three and the rest of the team top to bottom is better. Want to know why you lost? Because an attackman couldn't put away what should have been the your 10th goal and then you couldn't clear the ball. You cannot expect your star goalie to make all the saves. Teams think they are better than they really are when your goalie keeps you in all the games. I know it hurts losing to a rival. But a reality check is in order.

Brings me to my second reason. People figured out they can make a lot of money off everyone who thinks there kid is the next best thing. Even the equipment companies joined in by raising prices on everything. Do you know all equipment is made the same and do you know what it cost to make a plastic head?? Because of this parents (some anyway) can not afford to buy 2 helmets.

Coach,
As u are from Suffolk county and have time to analyse the Daler/Pequa game one must assume that the team u coach has likely ended their season. Stick to analyzing your own team's losses. Giving up a 5 goal lead in the 4th quarter is a coaching failure more than anything else. Pequa may have been the better team but Farmingdale was well positioned to win the game. All the players tried their best.

Town Pride has many meanings. Town "A" had a great thing with some real good young talent coming through the past few years. Each year pulling up a few MS to play (sometimes missing a player or 2, but who doesnt). One might say they had a group that was best on the island at their age group. Town "A"'s Varsity would make the playoffs but were perennial one and dones.
Even with the promise of playing and being a playoff contender the town parents didn't want to hold back kids, the town parents wanted better for them and supported the players when the kids decided to pursue other opportunities and outlets. (Chaminade/St Anthony's/St. John the Baptist) That is town Pride!
The Athletic Dept on the other hand did nothing to help cultivate and foster a solid program. Always poo poo'd the notion of travel. Town "A" Lost a good portion of the best players to the Catholics. Not because they really wanted to go (or the grass was greener) but because school "A" both academically and athletically didn't care if they stayed or not.
School board couldn't care less their kids were now done with College. Heck Principle couldn't keep the affairs of the school straight and had a transient Superintendent at best for a few years. Its not that there wasn't pride, there just was no promise!
Like I said, parents were happy for those athletes who pursued a dream, why, because they knew the town HS was not going to help them. That to me is town pride!
That's a dumb post. If his team still is in it , you think he can't spend 1 hour to watch another game. And maybe his team lost in the semis . That's bad ? If it is a coach , I feel he is accurate . And BTW , I'm an assistant of a Nassau team that is out . I guess I can only analyze my team ...

You're a HS Coach. Here's a question for you. What are your thoughts on a Coach who never takes responsibility for losses? Always goes back to: If the kids just executed this or just got it a little better we'd win.
Coach should always take responsibility for every game. Especially multi goal comeback losses. Never use a player as an excuse. For every good player you have , the opposition has one to match.

Probably because they were paid to cut off the part where Farmingdale CHOKED and threw away the game. All comes down to HORRIBLE coaching. So much talent in the dale but you can't win championships with over rated coaches. Two years in a row they were up by 5 goals and blew it in the 4th quarter. The LAX Hall of Fame called, they want their trophy back.
I'm a coach in Suffolk so truthfully I could care less. But you obviously have an issue with the coaching. But I can tell you Farmingdale is not as good as Massapequa. Your judgment is cluded. Watched the game on MSG varsity. Your goalie stood on his head in the first half. You got owned on faceoffs. Your midfielders are not as good. You have 3 great players. Massapequa has one star better than your three and the rest of the team top to bottom is better. Want to know why you lost? Because an attackman couldn't put away what should have been the your 10th goal and then you couldn't clear the ball. You cannot expect your star goalie to make all the saves. Teams think they are better than they really are when your goalie keeps you in all the games. I know it hurts losing to a rival. But a reality check is in order.
===========================
Coach,
As u are from Suffolk county and have time to analyse the Daler/Pequa game one must assume that the team u coach has likely ended their season. Stick to analyzing your own team's losses. Giving up a 5 goal lead in the 4th quarter is a coaching failure more than anything else. Pequa may have been the better team but Farmingdale was well positioned to win the game. All the players tried their best.
Parent,
Doesn't take much time to sit down at the computer and watch a game. As far as analysis, I have no dog in the fight. You obviously do. Maybe you wouldn't be up 5 if your goalie wasn't playing out of his mind. So it was the coaches fault you couldn't score? The one attackman was your only offensive threat. Expecting two kids to win the game for you against a better team is alot to ask. You as a parent obviously have inside information as to who played and who didn't. I saw nothing blatant with regards to the coaching. So unless you would like to be specific, we will all just dismiss you as a disgruntled parent who doesn't like the coach. I will go back to analyzing my wins and losses. You stick to figuring out the carpool schedule.
Parent ,
Trying your best sometimes just isn't good enough. Hard fought battle but I agree with coach. Can't win with a few good players.

That's a dumb post. If his team still is in it , you think he can't spend 1 hour to watch another game. And maybe his team lost in the semis . That's bad ? If it is a coach , I feel he is accurate . And BTW , I'm an assistant of a Nassau team that is out . I guess I can only analyze my team ...
================
Before u analyse any teams including ur own u need to reflect upon ur own coaching philosophy... Calling out what u consider failures on the field when the issue was poor coaching and game management are indicators of your poor character.
Every kid on both teams played their hearts out...
Grow up.

I'm commenting on another semi. Coach would not pull a kid who shot 13x and got one in. And let's not get started on the turnovers. The kid would pull himself out for the sake of the team at that point. Everyone has a bad day, coach needs to recognize and make an adjustment, not worry about "feelings"
I'm going to tell you why farmingdale lost. I've seen it time and time again with hs teams that do it again and again. Coaches make mistakes as well as the players. When you have a day that's 85 and the turf is 95 to 100 degrees it's impossible for these kids to finish strong. They get tired. I'm not going to sit here and say they didn't try hard. You can't run four to five middies on a day like that and expect them to be fresh in the end. I knew farmingdale was going to run out of steam and loose. They do it all the time. Stay loyal to the 14 to 15 kids and go down hill at the end. They do it all the time. It's amazing how they don't learn from their mistakes. Give credit to pequa for not giving up. Give credit to famingdale for giving all they had. Great job by the goalies from both teams but farmingdale goalie kept them in that game. Stupid plays on D, pressing to hard on O and not being able to win on face offs. The attack man got away from his game and tried to hard to do it by himself. Pequa keyed on him in the first half, he was able to feed others and that's why they were up at the half. Totally got away from that style of play in the second half and that's why they lost. Be real people. Anyone that was at that game knows exactly what I mean. A lesson to all coaches, kept kids rested throughout the game and the results would have been different.

It is not about being loyal. They are playing the best kids. End of story. And in playoffs, they tighten up even more. Both teams did and it was just as hot for them as well. Better team cam out on top! That's how it usually happens. 6 teams playing today for Nassau County Championship. Anyone on here could have told you who they would have been a year ago. Not one surprise team here!! FYI - same 6 teams next year!! Guaranteed.
Sayville boys are back in the Suffolk Championship? I thought that program was supposed to have decimated by the removal of their coach?

Guaranteed ? I think Pequa loses a lot of starters and don't know if 2017/2018 is that strong. I don't know about other teams
SYO, Manhasset, CSH all move on I predict. Manhasset and CSh move off the island. CSh takes it all. If they don't, i see LV doing the same.

agree with both posts and I was at the game, Massapqua has a lot more depth and it is easy to say in hind sight that Farmingdale should have played more kids but they just didn't have the horses - it is very possible that had they played more kids, particularly middies that they would not have had that big a lead to begin with. The only thing that I think Farmingdale could have tried was not try to hold the ball the entire 4th quarter it is vary hard to kill 12 minutes and if they had put in a couple maybe it could have been a different result but at the end of the day the better team won.
Hats off to the Farmingdale goalie, without him nobody is even talking about how thet could have/should have won kid came very close to stealing the game.

Please don't bring up the Sayville issue again. The former coach was treated poorly. The guy founded the program, put his heart and soul into the program and the kids loved him. The school cut funding for his assistant coaches and he got the team to the county finals last year basically coaching by himself. I wish Sayville all the good fortune they deserve but they should have treated the old coach much better.
I have to disagree cause you know as well as I know the game is based on the middies getting the ball to the attack. That is just so not right. Did you were at the game, if so what we're you watching. I know their are let's just say two more middies that can get a run in even if it's for a minute or two that would not have hurt the team by going out to give a kid a rest. That's a coaches decision. Making bad plays on D and not winning face offs doesn't help. I'm knocking anyone so let's not go their. I would bet their are kids on a varsity team that are not starters that are better then some starters. It happens not just in farmingdale but all over. Be real. They played hard on both ends but you can't tell me that getting kids rest during a game is not good especially when it is hot out like it was.
Farmingdale has depth on the team. Your not saying much about the other kids on farmingdale. I'm sure they played more kids during the year. Their has to be others that are good players.
I'm sure their are. Farmingdale has a good lax program. I find it hard to believe that they only have 14 or 15 good players. They have to have more then that. I say go out and win with what kids you have on a team. That's what makes you a good coach. If you can't get kids to turn even with a program like farmingdale then you have to question yourself as a coach.

They might have 40 good players. Close game you play the best 14 or 15.

Sure. Rest is great. Not in a win or go home scenario. Played the best to the end. And seriously with "their and there "!!!

isnt it interesting the two programs that pushed their coaches to the curb are in the Suffolk B finals.
Don't buy it. Not on a hot day like that. I watched kids not go after the ball the way they did in the first half. Not blaming anyone but maybe one team is better conditioned them the other, who knows. When it's hot like that you must be conditioned to be able to hold up. That's why a coaching staff needs to be able to put 20 players out there that can play. Don't put all your eggs in one basket. I they can't develope talent then they shouldn't be coaching.
You don't play the best 14 or 15 because they haven't played the full game all year. They haven't played in the heat like that either. I bet your son is one of the best also. Don't care what team it is you have to be able to run at least 6 middies. It can cost you later on. Overall great game to watch.if you could put together three middie lines just think how much more dangerous you could be as a team that runs 5 middies. I'm just using middies cause they run the most.

Use 3 middie lines in playoffs and your season would have been over weeks ago! It's not a summer toeunament with 3 games in 6 hours. It's one game!

If I had my wish a stacked team with a shorten bench looks like this!
1 GT
5 poles
2 ssd
2 lsm
2 f/o
6 mids (5/6 used sparingly)
5 Att (5th is usually O middie)
So everyone left GC for dead, guess not.......

Our Coach ran 4 or 5 middies both ways all year. I'm sure he's confounded as to why the team lost so many one goal games... My kids an attack, go figure.
GC with a 7-5 win.
GC battles back from 5-1 at end of 3rd quarter to win 7-5 vs Manhasset

Valley stream? No not exactly. CSH demolished Locust Valley. Wasn't close.
The sayville coach brought his program to county finals many times. He built a program for 15+ years. IT's not going anywhere, it's built on a solid foundation.
Hats off to him. How many coaches out there started their respective programs and coached their programs to titles. We wish him the best and he is missed. Good luck to the sayville boys tomorrow.

When I hear about the temperature and rest I think a mom here. A coach plays his best kids, period. Parents don't watch practice. When "Johnny" never picks the ball up, plays bad defense, doesn't remember the plays, drops the ball, shoots it 10 feet over the net, or any other number of things that make a coach lose confidence in putting him out there in a big game. Parents have that PAL mentality. Just put him out there, if for nothing else to give the stars a rest. Doesn't work that way. You live and die with the players that consistently perform. Regardless of weather. I recognize that parents only focus on their own kid. But coaches don't. There is enough to manage during the course of the game without worrying about getting in my 4th or 5th best midfielder to give someone a rest. Just sayin.

Nothing matters except for the State hardware. Syosset has been over hyped by the local faithful for several years but this year they have a legit shot at breaking through.

Maybe you never played sports but if you think that the hot days out on turf doesn't wear a person down the you never played on turf. If the coaches can't put together other kids and can only go with 14 or 15 kids then he should step down. All that is telling me he can't make kids better. I guess play with nine is one kid gets injured because little Johnny can't hit the net. Let's not try to make little Johnny better, let's just keep him on the sidelines. As a coach I'll just play the best kids that come into my program and the others that come to practice everyday, all year long will never get better and will never help the team out if needed. You talk about a parent that's only their to watch his kid. Sounds just like you. I bet you leave when your son the starter comes out of the game. You probably don't cheer on the others that don't play as much either. I hope you kid is graduating because who needs people like you in the stands. By the way this just isn't farmingdale that the coaches don't develope kids. For your info their are kids that get looks just because they come from farmingdale lacrosse program. Which means that the team has depth and talent on the team but the coaches don't give a crap.
Whatever, GC .... Nassau Champs 2016.

So what is the reason why they beat CSH during the regular seson? LV was a very good team. They lost to another very good team.
Syosset playing at an entirely different level than GC and CSH...at least it looked that way last night. That game was played so muck faster. GC and Manhasset both looked a little off, bad passes, dropped balls etc but was the most exciting of the three games. It is hard to believe that LV beat CSH during regular season play.

GC will go no further. weak conference and poor level of play against equally poor playing teams. good and very lucky run up till now, tho

Haven't seen syo and pequa at all but it sounds like syo had the better year.

GC will go no further. weak conference and poor level of play against equally poor playing teams. good and very lucky run up till now, tho
Not a GC parent, but my son has played with and against many of those kids. Great to see they rebounded and won the Counties. After all the adversity those kids dealt with all year, great to see them bounce back. For my part GC has always been a classy, 1st rate program, good for them

Please don't bring up the Sayville issue again. The former coach was treated poorly. The guy founded the program, put his heart and soul into the program and the kids loved him. The school cut funding for his assistant coaches and he got the team to the county finals last year basically coaching by himself. I wish Sayville all the good fortune they deserve but they should have treated the old coach much better. [/quot
isnt it interesting the two programs that pushed their coaches to the curb are in the Suffolk B finals.
It would be interesting if Sayville hadn't been there many times before.

Self inflicted adversity really doesn't warrant accolades in my book. Congrats to GC, but easy on the "overcoming adversity" storyline.
Couldn't agree more
So it was the rest of the teams fault for what happened...GC did overcome adversity. 5 kids get kicked off the team..2 being captains and having a former player die....yeah you know what you are talking abt...keep chirping you have NO clue. Go enjoy ur trips down to MD with your red cups.

Looks like Garden City needs to focus more on "Just Say No" and less on overcoming self inflicted adversity. Interesting that the kids were Captains, maybe that shows poor leadership both among the kids and the administrators.

The kids that were dismissed from team as a result of their poor choices created the self inflicted adversity unto themselves. The players that are on the team had to face the adversity of performing with out 6 members of the varsity team and rise up from all the noise that was going on around them deserve a lot of credit. Many teams would have just folded like a house of cards yet they didnt.
Their coach deserves a lot of credit for keeping the boys on the right path. There were so many reasons they could have failed. He also deserves a ton of credit for changing his style of play to match the players he has. In yesterdays game he made an on the fly adjustment that completely changed the outcome of the game in the 4th quarter. The invert he ran was brilliant and resulted in the comeback. Congratulations to GC.

How dare you!!! The kids that were left after all of the drama and trauma do not deserve statements like this and neither does the coach. Go crawl back under your rock.
Stop with your Syosset nonsense. Every team that made it is playing at a very high level. If CSH and syosset played 10x it would probably come out 5-5. which would be an improvement over how you have competed vs CSH over the last 10 years. And oh yeah, CSH already BEAT you this year. Deal with it. Go Nassau going forward...even Syosset...gimmie, i'll take, and of course no "thank you". Its in the water there...
Sometimes it takes a little addition by subtraction to focus a team - especially a bunch of kids. They are something like 12 -1 since the kids were kicked off. Maybe there is/was a life lesson learned.

lMaybe next year LV will play someone pretty good outside of their conference so they will be prepared to play CSH next time.You can't play teams just to pad your stats because you saw what happened last night. It's called a but whipping. The whole season was for not. Sorry just a frustrated parent
Agree. LV had talented players this year but they played a total paddycake schedule. Only 2 quality wins all year came against Port and CSH. You can throw in Bethpage as well. The rest was a joke - beating on the likes of Wheatley, Clarke and Island Trees should not impress anybody. Sets false and distorted expectations. All that said, still a good team and the future looks bright. Coach Cromwell seems like the real deal

Manhasset was not very good this year. They had one quality win vs Smithtown West (had to come back late and win by 1 on home turf) but lost to every other high caliber opponent. And please don't count Chaminade as high caliber - not this year.

Ok CSH mom big deal , you won the Vineyard Vine battle congrats. I've never seen more grown men wearing pastel colors. So "gimmie" a break and "thank you" in advance for not being so pompous.
I cant believe some of the posts I am reading on here. Yes GC had a scandal and kids were thrown off the team. The kids messed up and were appropriately disciplined. The rest of the team had to pick up the pieces and move forward without some of their better players and their captains. The fact that they hung in there and won the counties is something as a lacrosse parent everyone should respect no matter where you live. I also give the coaching staff a lot of credit for keeping the team focused and together and hanging in there. I am not a GC parent, but I for one am pulling for them to win the states. For all of you holier than thou folks bashing these kids and coaches, go look in the mirror because you have serious issues, I feel bad for your kids.

I was including coaches as administrators, but it does show bad judgement all around. Even if they keep winning, it will all ring hollow.

To be honest both these teams were weak this year. GC style of play is painful to watch and Set coaches just don't make any productive adjustments. Set may just value preparing kids for the next level over basterdising the game to win games

Yeah, the kids who win will always be reminded how all they ever did was win the counties. Hopefully when you walk into their offices to clean them later in life you'll be over it. Get a grip guy whose team lost to GC. You're being a little over dramatic about a lacrosse game don't you think. Go play catch with your son who didn't make the playoffs.
Do you know every word or action your kid says and does 24/7? If so you're the first parent ever who has. You cannot expect a coach to be able to do the same. Kids make bad decisions. It happens. Maybe for some it was their first time. Maybe Not. Point is the kids are paying the price, their teammates stepped up and did something commendable and unexpected. Maybe the coaches or "administrators" deserve some credit for guiding the 35 other kids to a county championship instead of you on here bashing them for something that has probably happened on every other team on Long Island, but either not caught or disciplined for. Enough of the GC bashing.

Why? Are you expecting a coach to know everything about a player? All a coach knows is what he sees on the field and in the school. Why so much dislike for GC? They handled the situation and came out on top. Thats pretty good.

He is a bitter guy, his son's team got waxed by the GC kids, and now the only way to make himself feel better is to get on BOTC and rip on a bunch of 15, 16, 17 & 18 year old kids who are learning life lessons. He's the perfect kid who developed into the perfect man, and now he comes on a lacrosse website and writes nonsense, anonymously by the way, because he feels he is so superior.
Ward Melville 13-5 over Connetquot for Suffolk A Championship
Melville cleans up on connetquot, should be a good lic saturday
I applaud what the coaches did with the other kids on the team. Getting kids ready to play and having them fill in and be successful only says good things about the coach. He has others kids that he developed instead of keeping them on the sidelines like other coaches do. Looks like they have more then 14 or 15 kids that can play unlike other schools. If you've been ready you know what I mean. Good job coach. There goes the answer for farminhdale. You can win with more players that can play. Don't want to hear schools have no depth.

says a lot when a team can remove 5 of the top players and still win. Good for that team. I cant believe this non-sense. The only people who need take responsibility for these kids. Who are all minors are there parents. not the coach, not the GC admin. Just the parents. The kids made a mistake and now have paid for it. This could happen at any school at any time. Drugs are all over and in every school.
I'm no fan of Syosset (the parents I should say) but they really did seperate themselves from the rest Tuesday. Highly doubt they would split games with CSH. Sure CSH could steal one or two but you can't fairly compare them. Not to take anything away from CSH but there is little comparison.

Give it up already. Your son isn't good enough. I know you like to blame the coach for not "developing" your son. What if the others ahead of him just "developed" more? Deal with it
I'm a CSH Dad, not Mom, and I love my pastels and there was nothing pompous about my post, I was responding to a pompous post from a typical Syo parent...don't pat yourself on the back too hard, you'll fall through your a$$.
take who off field? the starters?
That's funny. Wel the head to head results say otherwise. They separated themselves from Massapequa, that's it. I imagine Ward Melville will be separating themselves from Syosset come this weekend... YOu got your "A" title, but couldn't win the "C" title...too funny. Go Patriots.

Quot team parents-
Like all teams losing a game, some parents get frustrated and perhaps say things in the heat of the moment they wouldn't otherwise say. For the most part, quot parents were well behaved (as were WM parents), but there is always one or two (on every team) that yell and scream that the refs are making bad calls, this kid or that kids isn't hustling, the other team is cheating, put my son in, coaching from the bleachers...
we have all seen this behavior 100dreds of times throughout the course of our boys playing this great game since PAL. Forget it and move on.
Hats off to Quot for a great season, hats off to WM likewise.
Up next WM v SYO for LIC. Let's just hope for a good competitive game with well behaved parents.
---let's try and avoid the red cups in the parking lot and enjoy the moment on the biggest stage that most of these boys will ever see. Don't spoil it with loud mouth crude behavior because you had one too many in the parking lot before the game.
signed-
Proud, respectful, WM parent

Syo Dad here - CSH and Syo are very evenly matched teams both on the field (one goal game) and a few obnoxious parents off the field - yes CSH won the regular season game (as did LV against CSH) and I do not doubt that if they played 10 times it would be 5 - 5 but now IMHO there really should be no more conversation about SYO v CSH - it is Nassau V Suffolk and I will be rooting just as hard for CSH and GC as I will be for the Braves - lets go 3-0 in the LIC #516rules
We can agree to disagree. Go Nassau.

Let's go for a repeat of 2015's Nassau sweep of Suffolk.
I hope that there will be Set, Pequa, Daler, Port, LV, Bethpage, Wantaugh, etc, etc, etc, Lax players and parent's in attendance as well.
Nassau Strong!

Well said. SET coach made no "productive adjustments" all season due to one reason: promote his son and friends at all costs....even denying the team (with a superior attack line) the championship. Administrators need to take action against NEPOTISM!
Please stop. Manhasset coach is great. I love you people that moved into Manhasset and now call your town Set...Lived in GC all my life and have never heard anyone call their town Set until last year...The reason you are mad is that ur son sits on the bench where he belongs. The coach plays the best kids and wants to WIN all the time. Volunteer Asst also wants to win and you can see it when they coach..All Manhassets coaches are great and im proud to be friends with them. STOP ur crying and tell your son to get to a wall and practice.
ok big nutts...call the school and or sign your name.

Quot has a lot to be proud of but you are right coaching is not there yet. There season was all about the kids. Hopefully coaching learns from this experience that you have to develop players and create depth. Playing nine for an entire season will eventually blow up in your face, and it did.

Syosset dominated Massepequa. The FO kid for Syosset was spectacular. He won every FO and they started with possession every FO.

Starters are just that starters not all game every play playing multiple positions. Attack playing middie, short stick middies playing with long sticks etc... etc ... You cannot go the distance with no depth. There are plenty of kids on the team that can play. You need to begin to develop them by playing them in the regular season. That didn't happen and the result is you cannot match beat a team like Melville twice in a year with no depth. Look at the great programs like Melville what makes them better is depth. Depth is created not handed to a program.

Stand back everyone we have a "Chosen One" speaking. How dare anyone have town pride if you weren't born there FDB. Why don't you focus on your issues in GC, oh wait that was an isolated incident...keep telling yourself that.

If you've been ready you know what I mean. Good job coach. There goes the answer for farminhdale. You can win with more players that can play. Don't want to hear schools have no depth.
Give it up already. Your son isn't good enough. I know you like to blame the coach for not "developing" your son. What if the others ahead of him just "developed" more? Deal with it
The OP is spot on. The reply, not so much.

Sayville malcontents, same result as last year. I hope the two or three parents who wanted Coach Doller removed are happy. My son was devastated as was his younger brother.
Yeah, I know move on. But removing Coach Doller was a decision made from ego and driven by animosity. My bet is we begin to slide from here.

Hey rocks for brains all decked out in your grey and maroon Trojan gear-we get it your from GC... Manhasset has been referred to as 'Set since the 80's when our football helmets simply had 'Set printed in script on them. Keep your landlocked Garden City attitude where it belongs and is well recognized in GC...

The coach plays the best kids and wants to WIN all the time. Volunteer Asst also wants to win and you can see it when they coach..All Manhassets coaches are great and im proud to be friends with them. STOP ur crying and tell your son to get to a wall and practice.

That didn't happen and the result is you cannot match beat a team like Melville twice in a year with no depth. Look at the great programs like Melville what makes them better is depth. Depth is created not handed to a program.
25 kids in uniform on the sidelines is not depth, 15 good lacrosse players on the sidelines is depth. Depth is when you can play the fourth or fifth attack or defense or the 6th or 7th middy and have there be very little drop off in talent - over the last 45 years I have been playing, coaching and watching HS lacrosse on long Island I can tell you that only 2 schools consistently have depth and that is St A's and Chaminade and they still play the same rotations as most schools in tight games (3 attack, 3 Defense, 1 Goalie, 4 O mids, 2 LSM's and 3 ssdm and 1 fogo)
if your 1st team and your second team scrimmage and it is very close and competitive it doesn't mean you have great depth it probably means your first team is not that good.

Agreed, but one correction. Don't you really mean Hempstead? Because all GC is is a town with a different name surrounded by Hempstead. Can't deny that.

Enjoy the ride and the games this weekend especially if you have a child lucky enough to be playing in own of them. Still have to go to work and pay your taxes whether your kid's team wins or looses......sorry to tell you. Just try not to embarrass yourself or your kid in the process. Remember them?...it supposed to be their time - you had yours. The outcome is not going to change your life that much.

Didn't you hear Syosset has to get past Port Wash. Don't you dare jump to the conclusion that they would play prequa for Nassau class A championship. Lol. Quick is a jerk. He and his MSG buddies are shills for StAnts, Chammy, GC, Set and Pequa. No offense they are all great programs but you would think according to these guys that Syo does not even exist.

Saw the last quarter of the class B finals. Garden City won every faceoff in 4th quarter and controlled possession.The Manhasset offense never had any significant possession in the 4th quarter. Garden City went on an impressive 6-0 run. One of the Manhasset defensemen went down and left the game. Lost face-offs and defensive meltdown. Offense can't score without getting possession.

Yikes, I agree, if anyone watches any of "Mr. Lax" guy, Syosset does not get mentioned in ANY of his playoff coverage ZERO not one word. He couldn't pick a lacrosse game if he knew the results ahead of time.
Oh but what about those calves?

My guess is it's because of the parents..he knows how bad they are and is taking it out in the kids . Just because the parents are fools is no reason to do that. I'm sure most people on here would agree

If you watch this week he mentions being verbally assaulted by kids / parents last year for not picking them in some game.
He graduated 65 years ago.

well said and agreed . yet I heard Manhasset subversives are blaming their attack....AGAIN. funny how the attack is to blame when they ( and 1 great middy) are the only ones on the field producing. should we turn our attention to the coaching perhaps?
if this is accurate why aren't the parents up in arms? Im not from there but sounds outrageous
Is Manhasset really throwing the attack under the bus??
I don't think a kid was named just clearly defined. but if all that is true Holy WOW! and I thought my district was bad.
How many people really like their Sport Administration?
How many people really like their Sport Administration?
It must have been that Syo embarrassed Mr. Lax 2 games in a row after his over the top praise for his favorite players on Pequa and more so on SE... How many times can we hear about ham and potatoes, or the dream one kid had about making the Suffolk game winner in OT and then Mr. Lax consoling the FOGO for meltdown in OT...
Mr. Lax makes it too personal. He should stick to on-the-field accomplishments and dispense with the nonsense.
Holding a grudge against a whole Team / Town a year later because of poor judgement by a few kids is unprofessional. The reality is that Mr. Lax is really Mr. Irrelevant.

How come Ward Melville isn't getting any love on tv, national polls or newsday polls--seem like a pretty darn good team to me. We'll see how good in a few more days.
WM is great - no one denies that but hard to get national attention when you rarely leave Suffolk to play. Cham and [lacrosse] are both nice wins most years but unfortunately this year both of them are not as strong as normal. Lastly, 3 losses is nothing to be ashamed about but so many teams play hard schedules now and walk away with less losses ... again WM is great and if they beat Syo and Victor then they will be in the 10 ten for sure - good luck !!!!
All good points.
Mr. Lax runs an entertaining sports TV program. It is his opinion. If you don't like it or don't agree with him - change the channel. There is NO reason for a player or parent to berate the man in public in front of his family. If he chooses not to call a game because of the potential aftermath, it is his choice to do. Life will go on regardless of who is chosen to win and who actually wins. Stay Classy Long Island

A team is leading 5-1 in 4th quarter and losses. That's on the coaches and the defense. You can't blame the offense for giving up 6 goals. Makes no sense in any sport!!! Credit Garden City coach for 2nd half game plan. He outcoached Manhasset. You can't blame offense for giving up a lead.

WM will lose......Put a face on it Syosset!!! The players are just better and more consistent on Syosset, with the exception of one special Defender on WM. Victor is no joke and will probably take it all!
According to Laxpower, WM strength of schedule is rated higher than McDonagh's SOS, McD is #1 school in the country. Why would it legitimize WM strength to win another game or two? WM beat every school with a SOS similar or better than their SOS

so what irrelevant data is this? these rankings are what? pre season?
my guess is collective opponents SOS...based on someone or somethings initial input of the strength of the team at the beginning of the season... for whatever its worth...

Ok I give up. What exactly are we looking at ? Some sort of nerdy computer analysis I suspect.
pre season strength of schedule which amounts to squat after wins and losses
Umm its the National ranking for boys high school lacrosse? Not some "nerdy" computer analysis.
Manhasset coaching is clearly favoring friends and family and side business all of which cost the "team" a state championship. It's time to stop the madness. we need change. Look at the stats : one excellent middy with all the production yet "productive changes" never made all season. Self promotion of friends and family must stop and administration must take action.
yes unfortunately Manhasset looking to mask the real problem in Manhasset is looking to throw the attack under the bus. All to take focus off the real problem: middy nepotism... major issue
you are correct and make a strong case for nepotism. surprising no one over in Manhasset has been discussing until this time. Looked up stats: one d1 committed strong middy accounts for meaningful points. Other middies on first line only producing against inferior production. coach made no changes.... Maybe Manhasset just has no other talented Middies? I doubt that!
Time for change in Manhasset leadership and poss new AD. Need a passionate coach to Shepard team to a state championship and truly support the team. Show the kids that hard work pays off. Instead of rewarding an "all county" title to players that didn't run in practice or work hard. Ridiculous and essentially stealing from other hard working boys
Wow towns like Manhasset who have a claim on the county title each year and lose by 2 and this. Me thinks the future will be fine there. What about those districts that never have a claim on these things and that still goes on.

Here's my rant...
Am I the only one who gets twisted when I see how the brackets get laid out for the NY State Championships.
Don't get me wrong I love that you have a Long Island Champ, but why not have that same opportunity also be for State champ. We are effectively giving participation slots out by playing/seeding the championships by geography.
Have a true Champions format having the weakest sects play the strongest. How can Ct and NJ do it. Not to sure How PA does it but they are just as big
Come on for Class B, Upstate 2 games in for the state playoff could be. Messina vs Dewitt, then Dewitt vs Vestal or Horsehead.
Meanwhile the LI teams play Sect 8 vs Sect 11 then most likely go to play Sect 1. In B at least there are 11 sections why are the top 4 playing each other the first 2 rounds!!!
The sectional games within Sect 8 or 11 would have be more competitive than the State games between sect 3/4/10.
Why not play in a ranking system. Highest plays lowest.
That's like asking Dewitt to Victor in the first round. EVERY FLUKING YEAR... Why not, they are neighboring sections!!! I am sure neither want that. But thats okay, have Sect 8 and 11 beat each other up to advance... to play what is another top 4 section in sect 1
Whats the issue, budgetary come on make a trip out of it. At the very least if travel time is a factor figure it out its not to hard. You are effectively giving teams a pass to the next round that wouldn't otherwise get out of round 1 in a true playoff format.
Why does Sect 1 get the pass of playing Sect 9. Why does Sect 3 get the pass and play sect 10.

Anyone look at how the state is winding out to be.
Changes have to be made you cant have the #1 and the #4th ranked team play each other now.
Should be:
SWR 11 vs Highland 9
JDW 3 vs Horsehead 4 (got this one right)
Ytown 1 vs Web Tom 5
Gc 8 vs Hamburg 6
Ranked as
SWR
JDW
Ytown
GC
Hamburg
Web Tom
Horsehead
Highland

really? what year? I have not seen too many polls with Northport ranked ad Victor not ranked - please give source
I agree with not berating Mr Lax. I just feel sorry for a middle aged man who watches teenage boys on a regular basis.
Can't wait to see Victor smoke some arrogant LI but!

Ok I give up. What exactly are we looking at ? Some sort of nerdy computer analysis I suspect.
pre season strength of schedule which amounts to squat after wins and losses
Not pre-season. It's the current rankings. Are you being treated for your ADHD?
It is Strength of Schedule ranking. The Coaches and other polls have McDonogh as #1 .

really? what year? I have not seen too many polls with Northport ranked ad Victor not ranked - please give source
Nothing to do with team ranking except their strength of schedule ranking. Polls of teams rank are much different
Malvern #9 was beaten soundly by Haverford #24 on that list 3 times this season. Not sure what that list is really showing.

You really still don't understand ?
STRENTH OF SCHEDULE
I heard the Manhasset parents were so over the top this year with yelling at the refs (Manhasset never committs any infractions evidently) and even with parents on other teams and sometimes between Manhasset parents. What a pressure cooker. My guess is that they were expecting a state championship starting the minute last season ended because of an overrated attack that can only produce against wallflower opponents. And now they can't seem to process what everybody else had already known. I would have loved to have been at Hofstra just to see the meltdown of the Manhasset parent faces during the last 10 minutes. Delicious.

not very nice or fair of you to be so seemingly jealous of a team with a very grand winning tradition.
Not from that town but i know many of the players and parents. they are very supportive of the game and are just frustrated. that team is loaded with top level D1 talent. clearly the formula is missing an ingredient or the chef needs remediation; but dont attack players or parents or town. There is no need for that

D1 "recruits" that can't get it done in high school. Hmmm...maybe not as "D1" talented as they need to be. Sorry, not buying it. When you look at the list of failures to produce in big spots against better competition, those supposed D1 kids consistently failed to show up. Nothing wrong with the system or coach, the kids just didn't put the big numbers up against the better teams when Cherry needed them to. If they couldn't do it against GC, will be interesting to see if they can do it against Duke, Virginia et. al.
CSH 8 Babylon 5. A lot closer than I thought it would be.

Well since you weren't there I'll let you know whoever you heard from is either imaginary or someone with an axe to grind. I used to live in Manhasst, I have zero affiliation with MHS, and I went to game just for the heck of it. I sat with the parent of a player from six years ago, in the east side seating two or three rows up on the 50. I can assure you there was no yelling at refs, no yelling at opposition, just words of encouragement for their own team.
I will say I was a touch surprised at the Manhasset collapse, and didn't feel like I was watching any future collegiate superstars. Questionable decisions on attack and slow feet on defense.
"5th year varsity..." how does that work? Left back? Or played for hs when in jr high?

The Syosset crowd calling out the WM players' names and chanting crap about them. Glad to see them get shut up. WM clearly out played Syosset and controlled the game.
Cold Spring Harbor is in Suffolk County. It might play for Section VIII but it is in Suffolk County...

Are you sure they were from Syosset or from a team in Suffolk that were sour losers.

The blonde-headed coaching crew didn't have much of a game plan for the WM defense. I'd say WM was more prepared than Syosset.

My guess is that they were expecting a state championship starting the minute last season ended because of an overrated attack that can only produce against wallflower opponents. And now they can't seem to process what everybody else had already known. I would have loved to have been at Hofstra just to see the meltdown of the Manhasset parent faces during the last 10 minutes. Delicious.
not very nice or fair of you to be so seemingly jealous of a team with a very grand winning tradition.
Not from that town but i know many of the players and parents. they are very supportive of the game and are just frustrated. that team is loaded with top level D1 talent. clearly the formula is missing an ingredient or the chef needs remediation; but dont attack players or parents or town. There is no need for that
D1 "recruits" that can't get it done in high school. Hmmm...maybe not as "D1" talented as they need to be. Sorry, not buying it. When you look at the list of failures to produce in big spots against better competition, those supposed D1 kids consistently failed to show up. Nothing wrong with the system or coach, the kids just didn't put the big numbers up against the better teams when Cherry needed them to. If they couldn't do it against GC, will be interesting to see if they can do it against Duke, Virginia et. al.
In all honesty if your going to blame the kids, Can you explain what this "system" is?
Great game WM!
Very happy fans sat in opposite stands, but across the field we could hear why syosset deserves their reputation.
Some of your crowd is bad news

4-1 at half sounds like Syo was never in the game.
Syo parent here, it is very tough losing to team you are better then, when you know deep down you can beat 9 times out of 10. Tonight was not one of the nights. Tonight WM was the better team at pretty much every aspect of the game. I will be rooting for them the rest of the way - good luck patriots

You got beat in just about every aspect of the game, but Syo was a better team? What empirical evidence do you have to support that you would beat them 9 out of 10 times? I say the reverse is true. Other than their all world attackman, no one was winning their individual matchups against that defense. Let's talk coaching for a minute. Not one time did I see a player covered by a short stick, set a pick to try and change the matchup and get your best attackman and best midfielder off a long pole. Overall, except on faceoffs, they also did a better job on ground balls. And once WM went into the zone with that goaltender, Syo was not winning that game. Period.

The article identifies the position. It's the headline. You can't identify positions???? Nothing bad was said and no name was used. I think you are a little over sensitive here. Look at some context. All world attackman can be said above, but no other positions??

Listen, I don't give a flip what was said somewhere else. I care about what is said here. In this case identifying the position, identified the player.
If I leave you imbeciles alone to talk about kids it just keeps getting worse and if you don't like the policies here at BOTC, feel free to go somewhere else and [lacrosse] about each other and your kids. I only wish all of you could see the garbage that you spew like I do. Maybe then you would understand why I am "sensitive"!!!!!

Hey toughie register and put a name behind your posts. You use the veil of anonymity as your strength you keyboard warrior. As Moderators we try and protect the kids from asshats like you, who can't comprehend or read. As was said before cut the crap out. Let people read the Newsday article but we will not tolerate the singling out of students on here.

A group of former Syo players were juvenile and inappropriate to say the least.
Alcohol and competition unfortunately burnt out the worst in people
So does jealousy . 3 villages and Syosset are 2 great programs and communities Anyone who wants to bad mouth us good luck and keep hating

Embarrassing infighting. Sorry WM.
Apologize for the boneheads who should have been sent home to bed with no supper. If parents--well there's no excuse.
You didn't do any favors for your friends out there trying so hard.
Wasn't there watched the stream -- proud of the effort, played to the end.
Great boys, great heart.
Champs in our book.
Hats off to WM.
Wouldn't dream of mentioning names, but someone "handcuffed lightning, threw thunder in jail" last night.

Once again the Syosset head coach proves he's below average. He should have 2 or 3 state championships by now with all of the talent he's had over the past 5 years. If this guy was a college coach he would be on the hot seat for sure. Good luck Syosset with the frustration that will continue for years to come under this joker.

not very nice or fair of you to be so seemingly jealous of a team with a very grand winning tradition.
Not from that town but i know many of the players and parents. they are very supportive of the game and are just frustrated. that team is loaded with top level D1 talent. clearly the formula is missing an ingredient or the chef needs remediation; but dont attack players or parents or town. There is no need for that
D1 "recruits" that can't get it done in high school. Hmmm...maybe not as "D1" talented as they need to be. Sorry, not buying it. When you look at the list of failures to produce in big spots against better competition, those supposed D1 kids consistently failed to show up. Nothing wrong with the system or coach, the kids just didn't put the big numbers up against the better teams when Cherry needed them to. If they couldn't do it against GC, will be interesting to see if they can do it against Duke, Virginia et. al.
In all honesty if your going to blame the kids, Can you explain what this "system" is?
The same "system" that has resulted in multiple state championships or state final appearances over the past 7 or 8 years. Cherry just didn't have the horses this year. He's working with self centered overhyped kids who have been told how wonderful they are their whole lives and during the meaningless summer circuit but have no real results to back it up. There was no real leadership or toughness on this team - it was all talk by the players and parents before the season even began they were talking smack about a state title - only because Victor had moved up to A. But, when a team like GC or Darien stepped up and punched these over hyped little bullies in the mouth, they fell apart as quickly as I've ever seen. Even if they had gotten by GC, they would have never survived gritty teams like SWR, Yorktown or any tough blue collar team from upstate. Oh well, at least they have their graduation gift beemers waiting for them in the school parking lot.
Gee. Wonder who this could be. Keep trying, dad.

What a defensive angry post above about MANHASSET ....sounds like thou dost protest too much?? .MANHASSET: Why did we loose in a fantastic implosion with all these d1 commits you ask? Our coach was too concerned with promoting friends and family and padding their stats and doing favors to put inferior players on the field in order to keep the side business afloat. These kids couldn't even make a "c" club team! Yet they were on the field the WHOLE SEASON with NO ADJUSTMENTS!
OUTRAGEOUS: ATHLETIC and FINANCIAL AWARDS given to Friends and Family with below average performance or efforts and NOTHING for the 2 senior defenders who anchored our defense for 2 years and brought us to the STATES last year???? Too unbelievable to be true but sadly these are facts with no opinions.
NEPOTISM HAS TO STOP IN MANHASSET!! ADMINISTRATION:HOW ARE YOU ALLOWING THIS BEHAVIOR TO CONTINUE??? What are we showing our kids? Work hard but expect those that don't work as hard to get rewarded just because they are friends and family!
AND the fun starts again as Freshman friends and family are brought up from the third line JV to Varsity. FOUR MORE YEARS of inferior players stuck in the line up. It's impossible to hide their inferior skills as the numbers showed this year. STATS are FACTS. LOOK at the STATS. Any #'s that Friends and Family were able to put up was against inferior competition even though they played THE WHOLE GAME....EVERY GAME

That is hysterical. Plenty of " we were the better team awards in the Syosset H.S. Trophy case, none that say " NYS Class A Boy's Lacrosse State Champions". Please get over yourselves. Ever wonder why you have a certain reputation ?

Wow name calling the kids now? "punched these over hyped little bullies in the mouth, they fell apart as quickly as I've ever seen."
Terrible
Manhasset Parents have stood by and watched behavior like this and the destruction of our program from NEPOTISM. Write letters, anonymously. Powers run very deep so I don't blame you. We need a movement for change. Eliminate nepotism and angry name calling and verbal harassment and abuse. Not to mention negativity to our boys. Eliminate NEPOTISM and CONFLICT OF INTEREST with side club team business. BRING BACK CROMWELL!
Once again a disgruntle Sosset parent is ranting! If you watched last night's game then you would know it wasn't the "Syosset" team we have been seeing. Plan and simple, the team had a bad night! And we all know that the difference between a college coach and a high school coach is that in college a coach can cut players and choose who he wants to play without watching his back. In high school (especially Syosset) some parents are looking for every excuse to call Administration to report the coaching staff. I don't believe there is one college coach that would want to trade places with the Syosset coaching staff!

Still, many coaches have done much more with much less talent. This guy is way below average. The empty state trophy case speaks for itself.
Wow, you guys in the public conferences really, and I mean Really, need to get a grip.

Very true, college coaches do not want to go back to coaching high school LOL
So you are admitting you are a disgruntled parent and by all means, please name the coaches.
Please list the coaches

What coaches have done more with less talent? Seems to me all the teams that have advanced are pretty talented.
Do you have a suitable replacement ? Maybe a coach who was in Syosset's Conference for a few years and now coaches in Suffolk. If you think the nepotism and friends of family at Manhasset is bad Syosset would become a cesspool if that ever happened. So maybe you can clarify who you have in mind.

Keith Cromwell would have taken Syosset all the way with that offense.
When I saw the bleached- headed coaching staff, I immediately thought, is this a team building chemistry thing or do we want to be one of the boys? I know WM's defense is awesome but one goal the first half? Then, after halftime, they come out and can't get anything but outside shots. Their last two goals were at the end of the 4th where the outcome was determined.
I thought the Syosset defense would pressure the ball more and take more chances late 3rd into 4th, being down as much as they were. Try to force a turnover and unsettled situations. WM turned the ball over a bunch and still they couldn't capitalize.
If you take away one player, Syosset scores one goal. You can't win a NYS championship without being balanced on both ends of the field.

So the great talent can't get over medicre coaching? Nope team sport try again, talent not as good as you think.

Their last two goals were at the end of the 4th where the outcome was determined.
I thought the Syosset defense would pressure the ball more and take more chances late 3rd into 4th, being down as much as they were. Try to force a turnover and unsettled situations. WM turned the ball over a bunch and still they couldn't capitalize.
If you take away one player, Syosset scores one goal. You can't win a NYS championship without being balanced on both ends of the field.

The WM goalie got in their heads early. They only got outside shots because that's what a zone defense gives you. WM was better on ground balls. I'd say the offenses were evenly matched. Syosset's only edge was at the faceoff X. I think sometimes coaches get lulled into a false sense of what there team is when they steamroll everyone. Good teams seem reluctant to use the pick game to get their best players free, because they didn't need to all season. I wasn't overly impressed with Syossets halftime adjustments, if there were any. Also, the goalie staring at a ball during timeouts I felt was silly. Didn't seem to help much.
Calabria can visit Pequa or Farmingdale to hold the State championship trophy. If he wants to wear a ring he can borrow the one OBrien won with Pequa
Enough people! Game over WM was the better team LAST NIGHT! Let's leave the coaches alone and move on! For those graduating seniors - good luck! Good luck to Ward Melville as they head into the semis.

not very nice or fair of you to be so seemingly jealous of a team with a very grand winning tradition.
Not from that town but i know many of the players and parents. they are very supportive of the game and are just frustrated. that team is loaded with top level D1 talent. clearly the formula is missing an ingredient or the chef needs remediation; but dont attack players or parents or town. There is no need for that
D1 "recruits" that can't get it done in high school. Hmmm...maybe not as "D1" talented as they need to be. Sorry, not buying it. When you look at the list of failures to produce in big spots against better competition, those supposed D1 kids consistently failed to show up. Nothing wrong with the system or coach, the kids just didn't put the big numbers up against the better teams when Cherry needed them to. If they couldn't do it against GC, will be interesting to see if they can do it against Duke, Virginia et. al.
In all honesty if your going to blame the kids, Can you explain what this "system" is?
The same "system" that has resulted in multiple state championships or state final appearances over the past 7 or 8 years. Cherry just didn't have the horses this year. He's working with self centered overhyped kids who have been told how wonderful they are their whole lives and during the meaningless summer circuit but have no real results to back it up. There was no real leadership or toughness on this team - it was all talk by the players and parents before the season even began they were talking smack about a state title - only because Victor had moved up to A. But, when a team like GC or Darien stepped up and punched these over hyped little bullies in the mouth, they fell apart as quickly as I've ever seen. Even if they had gotten by GC, they would have never survived gritty teams like SWR, Yorktown or any tough blue collar team from upstate. Oh well, at least they have their graduation gift beemers waiting for them in the school parking lot.
What's gritty and blue collar about SWR and Yorktown? Don't recall any Stella mills in either place. Just upper middle class good lacrosse towns. Like every other top tier team.

But we're Syosset. If we don't win, there must be someone to blame!
I was tailgating with some friends last night waiting for the class A game to start. The SWR lax team had finished celebrating with their parents and friends and were ready to head home. They walked past the Garden City tailgate and the GC parents started to clap, congratulate them and wish them luck. With all the negative comments posted on here about Towns, parents, coaches, teams etc., I thought it was worth mentioning something positive. Nice job Garden City and good luck to all the LI teams moving on.

That's what you want to dwell on? The exact classification of a town rather than the fact that this Manhasset team had no heart and couldn't beat the good teams despite the pre-season hype of the community?

What a defensive angry post above about MANHASSET ....sounds like thou dost protest too much?? .MANHASSET: Why did we loose in a fantastic implosion with all these d1 commits you ask? Our coach was too concerned with promoting friends and family and padding their stats and doing favors to put inferior players on the field in order to keep the side business afloat. These kids couldn't even make a "c" club team! Yet they were on the field the WHOLE SEASON with NO ADJUSTMENTS!
OUTRAGEOUS: ATHLETIC and FINANCIAL AWARDS given to Friends and Family with below average performance or efforts and NOTHING for the 2 senior defenders who anchored our defense for 2 years and brought us to the STATES last year???? Too unbelievable to be true but sadly these are facts with no opinions.
NEPOTISM HAS TO STOP IN MANHASSET!! ADMINISTRATION:HOW ARE YOU ALLOWING THIS BEHAVIOR TO CONTINUE??? What are we showing our kids? Work hard but expect those that don't work as hard to get rewarded just because they are friends and family!
AND the fun starts again as Freshman friends and family are brought up from the third line JV to Varsity. FOUR MORE YEARS of inferior players stuck in the line up. It's impossible to hide their inferior skills as the numbers showed this year. STATS are FACTS. LOOK at the STATS. Any #'s that Friends and Family were able to put up was against inferior competition even though they played THE WHOLE GAME....EVERY GAME
6 captains for Manhasset? After 2 the term captain becomes meaningless. Maybe this was an early warning sign that there was no clear leadership on the team.
Syossett by no means had an advantage at the face off x I don't know what game you were watching

You got beat in just about every aspect of the game, but Syo was a better team? What empirical evidence do you have to support that you would beat them 9 out of 10 times? I say the reverse is true. Other than their all world attackman, no one was winning their individual matchups against that defense. Let's talk coaching for a minute. Not one time did I see a player covered by a short stick, set a pick to try and change the matchup and get your best attackman and best midfielder off a long pole. Overall, except on faceoffs, they also did a better job on ground balls. And once WM went into the zone with that goaltender, Syo was not winning that game. Period.
That is hysterical. Plenty of " we were the better team awards in the Syosset H.S. Trophy case, none that say " NYS Class A Boy's Lacrosse State Champions". Please get over yourselves. Ever wonder why you have a certain reputation ?
what don't you understand about the original post? the post said WM WAS the better team = the post was complimenting WM -
Who are you to call the productive Manhasset players (yes the D1 commits were all very productive - look at the stats) Leadership comes from the top, number one bully on that team is on the sidelines - just listen at a game
Oh and yes Manhasset definitely has the horses - but you have to know how to ride them -

Yes please - look at the stats. Average to below average against the best competition all year, and massive stat padding against the weakest competition. When the team needed points the most against GC, the D1 commits came up small in the biggest moments. That's why they are in the stands watching now. Pretty weak to blame the coaches for kids that can't execute in the big spots.

Dude, it's not the head coach who couldn't finish. He's had a great track record and you look ridiculous trying to pin anything on somebody with that kind of career. Just stop. The Manhasset kids just didn't have it this year. End of story.
If you win more than half of the face offs that means you had an advantage. Not too complicated

You are such a tool. The person was complimenting their behavior not knocking it. Loser, I mean sore loser from Manhasset FYI no mention of red cups.

Because the parents in those two towns are Type A psychotics and think they own the game.
Typical Syosset Lacrosse fans. If you don't win its got to be the coaches fault.
John Calabria and his coaches do a great job, but they don't have sticks and don't play the game.
Sometime the players don't play as well as they can.
Sometimes the other team is just more talented or plays better
Get over it. Syosset can't win every big game,
Imagine what the disgruntled Syosset parents would have ranted if they were undefeated Patriot fans beaten by the Giants in the super bowl
The community should be proud since Calabria took over the program and if they don't remember what the program was like before he started became the head coach
Praise sports for the experiences and opportunity they provide the students, and the hard work the coaching staff puts in to help them achieve their goals
Stop being so critical of the coaches at Syosset, or the excellent , hard working, coaches elsewhere for that matter, because the players lost a game
Someone always has to lose
You just can't blame the coach each time

I think you should go on the Chaminade thread and read some of the stuff that is posted there between non-public school parents before you cast stones over here (biblical reference intended). Or maybe you are from one of those sleep away, D-Bag private schools, then please go away altogether (with your hold-backs, reclassifications and $50k a year in HS tuition to save $20k a year in college tuition). Although I disagree with about 95% of the non-lacrosse, despicable posts on this particular thread, it seems to be confined to the same 3 or 4 towns in Nassau County for some reason. Suffolk is not perfect either by any means but the Suffolk posts seemed to be more directed to the actual outcome of a game because of play on the field and not about "peripheral issues". But at least when it comes to the publics, many of the posters are passionate (although at times misguided) because their son or daughter plays at their alma mater - and in the community which they grew up themselves. What's' the excuse on the Private side of the house? BTW, many of the posts are from teenagers and not parents - in case you needed to actually be told that.

Hey GC parent if you got beef with Set keep it there why involve Syo. Good luck to WM SWR and CSH. There is good and bad in all towns including GC, you guys overcame adversity and your coach did a great job having boundaries and setting examples. Good Luck in 2017 see in in game 1 of next year.
The comment about how nice the GC parents are was written by a GC parent. Its obvious...please...
Syosset program was NOTHING before Calabria got there. Not even competitive ever, forever. He changed that. Take your sour grapes elsewhere. Congrats on a great season. I mean that. A really good season. You lost a couple of games to better teams and beat some really good teams along the way. Reflect and enjoy the memories your kids created for you and be a little more humble going forward.
Give it a rest. If your team ever made it to the playoffs, you would know that it is tradition that EVERY team sets up a tent and parents volunteer to bring trays of food, desserts, drinks, etc. No one is drinking excessively. The GC tent was set up diagonally from SWR, two rows from CSH, 10 cars away from Ward Melville and a stone's throw from Babylon & Syosset. If you are a Manhasset dad, congrats, you win most hypocritical post of the year.

Well said, but because of the bull crap in the town of Syosset they might lose Calabria. The program will go to crap if he is gone!!
Calabria is not a good coach he wins when he has more talent period. He is an nut on sidelines. I think he got flagged for being too far on the field in Massapequa game. Not only does he belittle his own players he scream at opposing players which is totally unacceptable.
He is a tool- who uses his power in unacceptable ways. He should not be coaching.

Thank goodness these posts are all written mostly by unathletic parents who never ever played a sport at the level that the kids at Syosset, Manhasset,Garden City, CSH, SWR, Ward Melville,Massapequa,Chaminade and St Anthony's have.especially the schools that take on all comers from around the country.I might be missing a few good ones,my apologies. If these parents knew anything about competitition they would know that all of the young men who are representing these schools have worked really hard at their sport and are winners,that all of the maligned coaching staffs have been winners and will be winners again.. the only real losers are the parents who can't see the beauty of the game..just the results.. I would like to know of the the group of parents bad mouthing Coaching staffs and head coaches at these schools..How many Varsity wins,How many county titles,how many state titles do you have on YOUR belt? and how many young men have you helped to get into college besides your own? These guys you are bad mouthing are teachers and coaches and Dads and sons and uncles..if you really want to badmouth them..at least put your name on it.. that's fair,,then people can look at you and your son and judge how you've done..actually that would fun...

Lighten up. Little tailgate never hurt anyone. GC parents are the last ones you have to worry about behaving poorly! And uber!

"players lost the game" Said like true a-hole Coach... Ugh, this is the very attitude that people hate in a Coach. A good Coach praises his players when he wins, He takes responsibility when they lose... It's called leadership. WOW.

there is a lot that goes into being a good coach and a good man that is not always visible by what you see on the sidelines of games. I know all about JC, warts and all and I will say that any school, team and community would be very lucky to have a coach that puts in the time and cares about his players as much as he does. whether it is his guidance in the recruiting process, the time he puts into the team in the summer, fall and winter or more importantly when a player needs help in any off field problems he has been 100% behind his players 100% of the time -
Man o man. It seems you are either #1 or total garbage and nothing in between.
Your post is a perfect example of the haughtiness and arrogance which leads to why we lowly Publics" think you are D-Bags (the parents - it wasn't aimed at kids although some of the kids may be too, but I wouldn't know that personally). Stop with the histrionics about what kids are being called - relax. You understood the reference was not at the kids themselves so don't get your Vineyard Vines boxers all in a twist. And plenty of public school kids go Ivy - you just want to convince yourself all that money you spent was worth it. Go back to MD and cheer for your 16 yr old freshman losing to 14 year olds from LI.
So when you have a minute go take a look at Ivy league and Patriot lax rosters and notice the disparity between private and public school kids and then get back to me and tell me its all about saving 20k in tuition. So as usual someone shoots off at the mouth with absolutely no clue of what he/she is talking about. Oh and calling kids Dbags is a nice touch as well, nice job.

Lots of other towns that were hyped this year that didnt deliver, but the only posts on here are about Syosset and Manhasset. Why do you suppose that is?
Because the parents in those two towns are Type A psychotics and think they own the game.
Hey GC parent if you got beef with Set keep it there why involve Syo. Good luck to WM SWR and CSH. There is good and bad in all towns including GC, you guys overcame adversity and your coach did a great job having boundaries and setting examples. Good Luck in 2017 see in in game 1 of next year.

How do you know a GC parent wrote this?

So, what's the outlook for Manhasset and Syosset next year? I know Manhasset has their two best attack from this year coming back and only a couple of losses at middie. Defense I think loses two Senior starters but all else is in tact. Can they make a big run next year? Braves bringing back a lot?

Stating "Dbag" private schools pretty much sums up your feelings about the kids that go there and the parents that send them there, so dont get your camo shorts and your wife beater in a twist, you know what you said and why you said it. Yes there are many public schools kids that end up at the Ivies and good for them, the point was if you actually took the time to look at the Ivy league rosters you would see that the percentage of kids from private or prep school is quite high. So the point is, if your limited brain can grasp it, is that if going to a private or a prep affords your son the opportunity to attend a school of that caliber, it is worth every penny. As far as 16 year olds vs 14 year olds if that helps you feel better about your overpriced, toxic, political club team good for you.

Sets run will be determined by how well they run "the system". Which was a bit easier to crack than the secret formula for Coca Cola, When Horses>coaching=Good run, when "horses= or<coaching=early exit. When they win coaches take credit and talk up then"system", when they lose blame kids and club lax, unless of course the kids played for 32 and same coaches all summer as well, then blame early recruiting and the committed kids.

Unless they are star players, they should not be playing every game 98%+ of the time with negligible production
they should not be receiving athletic awards with financial benefits
they should not be walking at practice while their teammates vomit
and they should not be missing practice for side jobs
The degree of hatred and disgust about Manhasset town, team and players is unbelievable. Supporters of this coach are far and few between but the posters here that are either him or supporters of him make it clear that they despise the town, the parents and the players. What does that say? Time to resign!
If the supporters of this coach/and the coach feel that the players are:
"self centered over hyped kids who have been told how wonderful they are their whole lives and during the meaningless summer circuit but have no real results to back it up"
and
"punched these over hyped little bullies in the mouth, they fell apart as quickly as I've ever seen"
and
" Oh well, at least they have their graduation gift beemers waiting for them in the school parking lot"

The great majority of those points against terrible competition. Those 4 came up small in the biggest moments in the toughest games against Darien, CSH and GC twice. Coach can't win without the kids producing in the biggest spots.
could the moderator enlighten us to how many people are ranting against the Manhasset coach? My guess is one little man/boy with whistle envy that keeps quoting himself to make it seem like others are joining in. I only say this because I have done the same thing a few times, actually had an argument with myself that I lost, but I really tried to capture the spirit of the thing
Anyone know anything about Lakeland? Is WM going to breeze past them or could this be a tight game?

Doing a quick check, it is confirmed that a lot of the posts are from the same poster.
That's amazing!! What a loser.

Just to clarify, this post is actually a defense of the coach suggesting that the players he depended on most did not come up big for him and that's why he didn't win. Not that he wasn't a good coach. In fact, I think he's one of the best but he needs his best players to step up in the biggest spots, which they did not this year. His best players only rang up the points against the weakest competition. That's not the coach's fault in my opinion. It's a failure of the players not getting it done.
how about a game. everyone can guess who it is on here? when warm moderator says so...

I think it's pretty safe to say that just about every high school team in the nation has at least one parent that would love to anonymously rail against their coach. And while they can argue about coaching style, X's and O's, temperament or any other topic, it usually boils down to one thing. Playing time. And when their child doesn't get much, we here about the weather, playing conditions, lack of developing players or any other nonsense a parent can come up with. Like I always say, grab a whistle and throw your hat in the ring. Then we would see just how many anonymous comments people make about you.

Not always true, some complain because the team doesn't get better and their kid starts it is a team sport you know. Or are only as strong as your weakest link.

He is a tool- who uses his power in unacceptable ways. He should not be coaching.

Are you from Syo ? If so don't hide behind anonymity and if not mind your business.
Says the guy posting anonymously
I'm not bashing or defending just saying if you are negative speak up , be heard ! Don't sit at the parent meetings like a church mouse but instead get on here and spew poison. If you are a Syo parent whats's up otherwise stay in your own town.
J C is a great guy and a tremendous coach. We don't live in Syo and in the past he has invited my son to his Fall workouts. He didn't have to but did and I won't forget !

Garden City parents tailgating at a High School game w red cups. Wonder where the kids get this behavior and think it's ok. Drinking in parking lots before a HS game? Can't you just have a soda with your kids and a hot dog and go watch? Who drives home?
Lighten up. Little tailgate never hurt anyone. GC parents are the last ones you have to worry about behaving poorly! And uber!
If we as parents can't enjoy our son's experience (including a little tailgating) then this is all just a burden. I want to enjoy the experience and spending time with other parents, sharing some laughs is part of it.
Chill out. Grab your flip flops and come join us next time you see us tailgating. You may enjoy yourself.

Nepotism? redundancy? we get it, you think that your kid didn't play because of nepotism - can we move on? could it be that he didn't play because he bought his frickin' toys with him?
Has anyone heard if the game times have been changed at Hofstra today for NYS semi-finals?
So what did everyone think of the tryouts for the Nassau Suffolk game teams.
Aren't the semis upstate?

as always too many kids, as DD would say "I have been to street fights that are better organized" but it is open to anybody that wants to pay so it is what it is, I think the first round is usually by reputation as much as by play at the actual tryout and the event gets better in the final 40's and then it is all worth it if you make the actual game which is an awesome event for the kids ......IMHO

If the Manhasset Coach cares at all about what he leaves behind....he should step down. His bullying of the players for years and envy of their success outside his program eats away at him. And yes....he has the whistle.....hang it up. NEPOTISM, crony favoritism and refusal to coach for the benefit of the whole team...and not just friends, family and side business.... is bringing down our once proud MANHASSET program.

I lived in Manhasset and was always laughing internally at the crap that floated around periphery of the lacrosse programs. Some of the biggest sideline geniuses, and critics of coaching decisions, never saw a lacrosse stick before they moved into the town. Guys who couldn't catch and throw with a lacrosse stick were more than willing to share them opinions on how the man-up offense should be run, or the need to go to two poles on the wings to make up for a weak FOGO......
And on the girls side it was even funnier. Their coach is in every Hall of Fame she has been eligible for (HS, College, Long Island, US National). She's played on something like 4 World Cup teams. She's coach at the collegiate level. But half the town ran around saying she doesn't know what she's doing. Granted this was a few years ago, and maybe it's changed, but Gallagher was in the crosshairs of a whole bunch of people who didn't like the fact that she didn't quite see the greatness in their bratty kid who hated to practice. And just like the men, it was often coming from women who maybe never participated in an athletic contest other than a tennis match. But, noooooo, they knew as much about lacrosse as D. Gallagher.
Funny stuff.
So, as to the guy who keeps complaining about the coaching at Manhasset I say this........send your kid to Chaminade and see if he gets any playing time there.
Is there a 'Back of the Alley' for him to complain about the bowling coach?

You gonna go on strike?
I live in Manhasset and do not have a son on the varsity team. It is easy to sit back and be critical of coaching and second guess every move that doesn't work. Some of the criticism of the coach is probably valid but a lot of it is unfair. It is likely that most of it is coming from people who never coached a meaningful game in their life. The coach probably overplayed his son and a couple of his son's close friends but if you are not at practice every day then you are not in a position to discuss who should be playing. The spot where he really went wrong was bringing his 9th grade son (who did not start on JV) up to varsity for the playoffs and then actually playing him in the first playoff game. That decision took playing time away from juniors and seniors who practiced and worked all year. That moves makes you question his judgment and makes you wonder about the other playing time accusations. It makes me think that those accusations are probably accurate.
That would never be my approach you Turkey!!
Who cares about manhasset lacrosse enough is enough. Let's talk sec11 Suffolk best Lax in the country hands down !!

Ok relax with that, plenty of great lacrosse other places. Good lacrosse to be sure, but lets not get crazy with the best in the country nonsense
Well, you may not want or like to hear it but that guy is right. From top to bottom Sect 11 Suffolk is very good. There are a few teams bunched together but they end up playing alot outside there leagues and sometimes out of state. Where as Sec 11 plays 2 non- conference games and the rest in sec 11.
Hate to join this Section 11 BRO-FEST so I will make it brief. My son plays class A Nassau and wish we played in that conference. There are 3 or 4 really good teams However, a lot of soft games that don't help anyone.
Very rarely do the teams in Section 11 go off Long Island so its hard to gauge where they really stack up against the rest of the country. Yes there are 4-5 good teams in Suffolk A, but thats about it after that its mediocrity. However if you take Long Island as a whole it probably is the most competitive lacrosse in the country.
Is WM good enough to beat Victor? Thoughts?
Victor is good yet has not seen the consistent competition that WM has played. WM battle tested and have the edge.
A- victor
B- Yorktown
C- cold spring
no brainers...nassau only LI team to come out with anything.
Everyone is all hung up on big boy suffolk....well they haven't showed up in the states in a couple of years and won't this year either. Smithtown east ??? talk of them as best team in country before season. stop already!

Did not say best in country. However WM will beat Victor.
By the way 2007 West islip,2008 West Gen,2009 West Islip,2010 West Islip, 2011 Farmingdale almost Suffolk,2012 West Islip,2013 Ward Melville,2014 Massapequa, 2015 Niskayuna. The " no brainer" is a knuckle-head like you.
suffolk big boys....2013 is a couple of years from 2016....your the knuckle head.
So any feedback on the all Nassau/all Suffolk tryouts going on for 2017, 2018 & 2019? Thoughts/pros and cons?
You cannot be an adult.
no dog in the fight, but WM defense seems too tough for anyone to deny that team. i would be surprised if they dont win it all, again not a WM parent

Joke. Too many kids, too many kids who shouldn't have been on field. No coaches coaching teams playing. Kids are moved to next round because of their coaches not their play.

Ward Melville has changed and improved dramatically throughout the season and they are playing very well right now. Not sure if they had players come back from injuries or just switched up some of the players. In any event they are a very different team than the one that lost to Connetquat, Smithtown West and West Ialip during the year.

That is a very good recap and absolutely accurate. It's a shame the coaches ousted some of those kids through.

My son made it to second round last year on skill. Could not make final team. Did not have any political pull. Funny thing though, most of the kids that made it at his position last year are still not committed, yet he is... That should tell you everything you need to know. BTW, he blew it off this year.

I didn't see much coaching, only them asking if everyone got in.. As well as telling the kids, make sure you rotate in.. Didn't see much "team play", only kids trying to drive through 3 people to get a shot off, except for the team made up of kids with the same travel team helmets.

You must have the right helmet on to advance. "Evaluators" push their players to the next round.
Here is some feedback. don't have high school coaches on sidelines or have any part in this. If you look at kids who made it to second round. most are from 3 schools. seems alittle odd and suspicious

And all the other coaches got one or two kids to advance. None will make team.
Top 20 will look pretty good playing against B players !

I definitely agree with that statement. I think each evaluator was allowed to "hold" a position for one of their own players.

Full disclosure, I am biased as mine plays for WM. They are definitely playing at a different level than they did on a cold day in April against Quot and WI. SMW game was just a total fluke as I cant even remember a lax game ever with a score of 3-1.
The biggest difference is that the offensive shots are on cage a much higher percentage of the time.
If our keeper plays to the same level and our FO guys go better than 50%, WM by three... But, Victor apparently has their fair share of studs at multiple positions including keeper and FO.
time will tell, should be fun in any event...
Today, WM just looks strong and confident.

That sounds more like a recommendation than feedback. You do realize this event is a brilliant money maker for the HS coaches. I'm surprised they don't charge much more to tryout. A bargain compared to UA, with pretty much the same level of colleges coaches watching on the sidelines! And if you haven't realized how biased and political Lax is by now, you will be in for a lot more disappointment down the line. Tell your son to keep practicing, hold his head high, Keep seeking opportunities to showcase his skills, and don't blame others, although I know how badly we want to! Hopefully his time will come! Good luck!

Having an older son who has gone through the process and played, it is most definitely fixed for about 80% of the roster. The other 8 to 10 spots are awarded on merit or position availability. Initially it was helpful for the towns with less depth to have some representation in the showcase, but now it's become as corrupt as a Russian election. There is no doubt that there are a lot of talented kids who will make the team, but there is no question that the coaches are playing with a stacked deck.

That sounds more like a recommendation than feedback. You do realize this event is a brilliant money maker for the HS coaches. I'm surprised they don't charge much more to tryout. A bargain compared to UA, with pretty much the same level of colleges coaches watching on the sidelines! And if you haven't realized how biased and political Lax is by now, you will be in for a lot more disappointment down the line. Tell your son to keep practicing, hold his head high, Keep seeking opportunities to showcase his skills, and don't blame others, although I know how badly we want to! Hopefully his time will come! Good luck!
You can tell your kid all the cliche stuff"keep working" "do the right thing" etc but if its a fixed event how can you not tell your kid that also. If he plays a position and does everything right and a player who plays the same position and at the same tryout played horrible yet makes the team/next round because his coach is on the sideline campaigning for him. The kids are at an age where its obvious and it is disappointing to them. Its is very obvious that some coaches have more pull than others. There are also the coaches who will be coaching the final game that get to pull along a few of their undeserving players.

If the event was unbiased and players made team on actual tryout rather than coaches and team reputation. I am not saying the team wont be good because there are a ton of talented players yet there were too many kids who shouldnt have been on field and too many who made 2nd round based on coaches pushing them through rather than how they played at tryout. It is a great event that should be held more often but without the bs.

I agree 100%. Been though this. My son was passed over a number of times after clearly playing better than the kids chosen over him. There was always some shenanigans going on with the evaluators. All I can say is cream will rise to the top, and he is doing fantastic now. Headed to a top school with a scholarship much better than some of the kids who were built up by their coaches. Hang in there!

If there was coaches coaching them then you would have the people saying the coach was bias and set things up for the kids he wanted to, or gave some kids more playing time. I thought the kids did a decent job being fair. The biggest issue I saw is that they need to rotate the face off middies. My son (an attacker) was on a team with a kid who won 1 faceoff in 2 games. Needless to say the other teams had the ball 75% of the time. there probably should be some 1 v 1 - 4 v 4 drills so that you can see what kids can do. Then scrimmage for half.

Hey guys!!?? This event is no more or less fixed than any of the so called elite cub showcases that kids get pushed into by directors. If you don't play for the right club or high enough team you don't get to go. My son has been to prospect days or tournaments where a kid is wearing a maverick showtime helmet he got when he attended that couldn't play 3rd line midfield on his HS team. They are all political. It's what lacrosse has become.
100% true and I agree . kids know the drill. no need to explain that politics rule. they know a lot more than they are credited in most cases
Nice writing skills. is English a second language?
Come on what a stupid reply. Some kids haven't committed but yours did and he didn't make final cut, but he's committed. I don't want my kid at 14 to commit to any school just yet. He has time to decide where he needs to go to school as long as the school he picks has the academics he is looking for. Yea there's politics in everything. Why would he go if he's committed like you said. Good for your son because he's one of the 14 year old kids that is going to a school of his choice that has what he is looking for right. I'm happy for him and wish him luck. My kid has no idea what he wants to do just yet.
Maybe that's because a few big schools had alot of players at the tryouts. I think the kids did a great job. They should all be proud of themselves. We know it works but let's not take anything away from the kids. Great job boys keep up the good work.

Events like this have always been political. If this site existed back when the Empire team was the be-all-end-all, we'd be complaining about the same stuff.
Disagree. I know a few of those kids and a few of them started on their school varsity team so don't knock all the kids. They all did a good job.
Hey no one is knocking the kids, just the process. It can not be denied that a number of kids who made it to the 2nd round were pushed along by their coaches.
Any early predictions for Nassau A for 2017?
What process is perfect? It's a bargain compared to the Express and 91 run showcases. For a initial tryout, I was impressed by the number of coaches in attendance. Towns that typically dominate high school lacrosse appear to have more kids make it through - seems like it makes sense to me. I am not naive - I know there are politics involved but not sure if it is any worse then elsewhere.

Best post of the month, thanks for the laugh. You pretty much covered it all perfectly but believe you mixed up your Port prediction. It's the deleted this person seems to be going on and on about . They're already at it.... Seems like Young Ones dad can't stop chirping.
If silly posts on BOTC were goals, Port would be NYS Champs.
What was Port's JV Team record this year?
I assume 8-0 and no goals scored against....

Here we go with the excuses! You lost to the better team, be gracious and get over it! After all, you blew a 3-0 lead. You were lucky to get off LI in the first place, as most of your wins were by 1 or against the better teams. Be happy with what you achieved even though it didn't result in any hardware. There's always next year!

Tied. In 4th WM face off kid. Clearly gets tripped. Somehow tweed pediment calls possession to victor who commas down to score. Total momentum chaNger. Not makings excuses. Stating the facts. Cower than victor liked but this hey liked but had some help for. She ok men in stripes.
I see that WM coach is trying to blame the loss on F/Os. WM has been smoked at the x by other teams including SE, SW still managed to win, F/O was never a strong point for this team. Now blame it on F/O? Please, what happened to the defense I ask you?
Congrats to both teams, esp. to Victor. They are a powerhouse and deserve it. Great to see the sport expand beyond the traditional areas. LI will always produce greatness. Great to see Rochester doing the same!

Defense held a team scoring an average of 16 goals to 7. One goal on man up, after a questionable call by ref. Think defense did pretty well. F/O kid from victor was outstanding and WM could not find a fix. But you have to make the call when WM face off kid gets one and kid took his feet out from under him. SE and SW great face off kids, but didn't play this game...guess you forgot you were still on LI. See you next year!!

Sounds like a trip to me! Could have been a game changer! Even worse when ref gets in the way! Anyhow great run, was a little disappointed in the defense, not the way they have been playing the majority of the season which is why I don't blame the f/o , they were never that strong. Next year the young WM team gets bigger and stronger and should be a real force despite graduation. Should be a great 2017, good luck to all this summer!
Long Island ends up with one state championship. Sorry all you Ninety One Flids, Long Island isnt the end all be all of lacrosse. Good job Victor.........

Really...defense not strong. What a tool. Your not winning half your games without them and today could have been a lot worse with f/o guy from victor winning 13/16. Sounds like defense did just fine and played as well as they did all season. Victor played a great game and forced Melville to play a lot of defense but defense can't do it all. P

lol wat
Victor was the more balanced team period. They exposed Wm weak points,
attack & f/o. WM fogo's were overmatched. WM lost 80% at the X....just like the 21 other teams Victor beat this year....tip your cap to this kid, he is awesome. For WM to win this game, they had to play an almost perfect game. Too many unforced TO's. These TO's are magnified when you
are on the wrong end of the 80% FO battle. Victor D was too strong/athletic for the WM attack. WM couldn't win their matchups.
The better team won.
Good news is WM brings back a ton of talent in 2017.

Being from Long Island and being around the sport for a long time I need to apologize for the ignorance of my fellow FLIDS. Upstairs has always produced great lacrosse. Yorktown, Victor etc. Congratulations to the upstaters.
Did you actuarially see the game live? Cause thats not how WM played. the first half WM dominated Victors offense. Victor had won F/O in which WM turned into their possessions. Victor had multiple unforced turnovers in the first half of the game.It wasn't till the second half of the game when the tables turned, Victor figured something out and WM didn't.
WM was ahead for more than 50% of the game.

The FLIDs can have the weak "C", we're happy with the big boy lacrosse "A" and "B" champs.

Agreed, WM has been in the position of losing 80 present at x in a few other games, but managed to win the game. WM had a great start in this game but seemed to start slowing down and making mistakes the second half. Defense had a tough time controlling Victor, they just couldn't keep up. Next year They are losing two key players, and need to get stronger at X. Will see how they adjust. Next year the strong teams will be:
WM
SmithE
SmithW
SachemN
HillsW
Any others I'm forgetting?
Being ahead 50% of the game is nice mommy. But its the team that is ahead at the final whistle that counts. No shame for the Pats in coming up short in this game, enjoy being the best Class A team on LI.

What about WI? Are they bringing back a lot of players? You can never count them out in my book.
Why is WM coach blaming DELETED on loss, WM has not been strong at x all year losing at a higher % down on the Island. I don't believe even resulted in fast break scoring opportunities as the kid had no assists or goals. Place the blame where it belongs, defense in the second half. Coach needed to pull those tired and frustrated kids out and make some adjustments. Thats why they lost.

I'm sure your fellow upstate New Yorkers really appreciate you bashing their "C" programs. The only reason they are "C" programs is because of the size of their school. Meanwhile, Our "weak" C program has scheduled some out of conference games vs your "elite" A and B programs and I don't see you posting those results with comments. . You are grossly underestimating the talent in your/our C conference. It's actually more impressive considering the number of student athletes we have to select from.
Please don't make yourself feel better by knocking other programs. The C upstate lacrosse is awesome and deserve as much praise for what they do every year as the A and B programs. Why bash... because LI took the C class. So that must mean the C class must be week.
Don't be an elitest just because you have 1000 kids in a class.

Good news is WM brings back a ton of talent in 2017.
Already looking for next year?? How bout enjoy the summer lax dad/mom . I'm sure your kids wish the same.

Agreed, WM has been in the position of losing 80 present at x in a few other games, but managed to win the game. WM had a great start in this game but seemed to start slowing down and making mistakes the second half. Defense had a tough time controlling Victor, they just couldn't keep up. Next year They are losing two key players, and need to get stronger at X. Will see how they adjust. Next year the strong teams will be:
WM
SmithE
SmithW
SachemN
HillsW
Any others I'm forgetting?

Just stop already, shame on you! Remember karma is a [lacrosse]! No one placing blame on deleted kid, bottom line is they didn't have possession. When you don't win face offs it is hard to get possession. WM winning with 5:00 min left in game, when they had the ball they didn't capitalize. When Victor had the ball they did capitalize. You CAN NOT blame this game on defense. They kept WM in game to begin with by stopping them after lost possessions. Grow up already and stop. They will come back next year, hopefully be there and bring it home. The end.

Well said. Also, for all the upstate D bags or s**t stirrers from LI with negative comments: Victors fans, parents, players and coaches handled themselves with class. Why don't you do the same if your appointing yourself as spokesman for the region.

Ok Port's Varsity lost to Syosset and Massapequa by large margins. I would say they were two very good teams. Played a tight 1 to 2 goal game loss to Farmingdale another good team. So I would say they were pretty good. Didn't they also make it to the semi finals in Nassau County big school division losing to the inevitable Nassau Champs Syosset. I would say that's a good season.

Port was 8-7 for the season and 4-4 in conference...
Is that ur definition of a good season?
Did you distribute the participation trophies for this stellar season?
I suggest save money on the trophies and get some summer training.

Ok so it seems like you know everything about Port. The JV team went 10-4. That's not bad. Despite horrible nonexistent coaching on JV.

Names are listed but if listed on here there will be the faceless attacks on the players . Thats why we prefer names not be listed. If people could just be happy for the kids rather than attack them it would be so much easier.

Except that most towns move any decent underclassman to varsity except the better programs. And those are the ones you lost to. Do the math. Average program.

That sounds a bit off. If a town had a good program wouldnt the have enough juniors and seniors to field a varsity program with a few underclassmen sprinkled in. Allowing for the kids to play and develop. A town that needs to bring up 8th 9th and most of their 10th graders sounds as if it has problems with not much depth in the program.

You can only play 10 players at a time. So while hopefully your best players are upperclassmen the rest sit on the sidelines. How is that good for development. Game experience rather than bench experience is a bit more important. Coaches bring up underclassmen to Varsity because mommy and daddy complain and are flabbergasted at the fact that their son is on JV. These parents say things like" he plays for this travel team and I pay this much for training. He should be on Varsity " So coaches bring them up and they ride the pine. That's really a good way to develop talent.

Stupid is as stupid posts and this was a typical stupid post - lets start with PW where they bought up an 8th grade goalie who started for 5 years and was a big part of them being competitive. Most of the better programs will have 9th and 10th graders contributing to the varsity teams and those are the kids who become the stars and leaders in 11th and 12th grade - the ignorance is the thought process that if you are not brought up by 10th grade you wouldn't be a starter or contributor as an 11th or 12th grader and that is just not the case - every school has 12th grade first year starters. At the end of the day the best players play regardless of grade.

Since you are a child I will make it easy for you. There are exceptions and the goalie you mention is just that. He has been an anchor for the team since 8th grade. That was because there was not a goalie in 9th-12th. He needed to be rushed up. There were no other options.Goalie and faceoff are two specialty positions and skill sets. You can't just put an attackman or a middy in net. Port had no other option. They were very lucky that he was as good as he was. What dont you understand there was noooooo other goalie.
If a program is strong it has enough players in each class that are good and should start. Again that's the norm. Of course teams bring up players even underclassme yet unless an exceptional player they ride the pine during games and are scout team practice players. Please explain to me why my other post was so stupid. We have a difference of opinion. I would love to hear you in a board meeting and if someone disagrees with you you call them stupid. Ohh and why the hard on for Port?
I will not have anything bad said about this player or any other.
I am warning you all to keep it civil.
The kid was obviously the BEST option for goalie and that is why he played. The coaches want to win, they do not want to coddle the parents.. Can't wait for these parents to see what happens in college.. lol
Get over it!!

this is the "stupid" that I was talking about - Massapequa and Syosset always bring up 9th graders (and an occasional 8th graders) to varsity to PLAY not ride the bench. A player develops in practice not in games and practicing against older strong players will let them develop faster then being the best player on their JV team and dominating inferior competition on the JV level. The experience of being on the varsity and seeing what it involves is a great experience and a benefit for the future leaders of the team. I didn't mean to imply that you were stupid (although you might be) just the post was stupid to paint with such broad strokes that kids are being bought up because coaches are placating to parents and you are diminishing the kids accomplishments by saying so.

Larry 100% agree. This kid was a great goalie earned a lot of accolades. Never did I say a bad thing about him so don't know where the reference to an attack is coming from.
The issue at hand is a person insists that if a program has 10th graders on JV its a weak program. Really logically explain that to me. How many programs have 10 freshman and 10 sophomores playing up on Varsity. If a program is strong it has enough talented players in each grade to field a good JV and Varsity team. They dont need to rely on underclassmen to make varsity competitive. In the instance that there is a player that is good enough to be moved up they will be as a freshman sophomore even an 8th graders. Most good coaches would prefer to allow players to physically and mentally develop on JV. They are attacking Port JV for having Sophomore players. Not everyone is good enough to play Varsity in 9th or 10th. Some kids have to develop and mature. Yet this asshat keeps attacking Port and it's JV program and Varsity. I give an reasonable answer and they act like a child.

If a program is strong it has enough players in each class that are good and should start. Again that's the norm. Of course teams bring up players even underclassme yet unless an exceptional player they ride the pine during games and are scout team practice players. Please explain to me why my other post was so stupid. We have a difference of opinion. I would love to hear you in a board meeting and if someone disagrees with you you call them stupid. Ohh and why the hard on for Port?

this is the "stupid" that I was talking about - Massapequa and Syosset always bring up 9th graders (and an occasional 8th graders) to varsity to PLAY not ride the bench. A player develops in practice not in games and practicing against older strong players will let them develop faster then being the best player on their JV team and dominating inferior competition on the JV level. The experience of being on the varsity and seeing what it involves is a great experience and a benefit for the future leaders of the team. I didn't mean to imply that you were stupid (although you might be) just the post was stupid to paint with such broad strokes that kids are being bought up because coaches are placating to parents and you are diminishing the kids accomplishments by saying so.
Ehh Port had 4 or 5 underclassman on Varsity. One earned All County. As for development you said it, it is in practice you get better playing versus better players. I don't know but I am pretty sure Port had JV players practicing with Varsity. Your explanation now is much different than before. You never mentioned any of those programs and never dsaid anything about practice. All you said was having underclassmen on Varsity means a strong program. As for the rare instance a 8th and or 9th grader is a starter and major contributor to a team it doesn't happen that offer. Yes a few 10th graders will always play varsity but it does not mean a program is weak if they have 10th graders on JV.

Larry 100% agree. This kid was a great goalie earned a lot of accolades. Never did I say a bad thing about him so don't know where the reference to an attack is coming from.
The issue at hand is a person insists that if a program has 10th graders on JV its a weak program. Really logically explain that to me. How many programs have 10 freshman and 10 sophomores playing up on Varsity. If a program is strong it has enough talented players in each grade to field a good JV and Varsity team. They dont need to rely on underclassmen to make varsity competitive. In the instance that there is a player that is good enough to be moved up they will be as a freshman sophomore even an 8th graders. Most good coaches would prefer to allow players to physically and mentally develop on JV. They are attacking Port JV for having Sophomore players. Not everyone is good enough to play Varsity in 9th or 10th. Some kids have to develop and mature. Yet this asshat keeps attacking Port and it's JV program and Varsity. I give an reasonable answer and they act like a child.
You are defending 10th graders playing on PW JV by ridiculing programs that bring up 8th, 9th and 10th graders by saying they are weak programs that is why the have to bring up younger players.
Syosset started 2 10th graders on attack, 1 LSM, 1 SSDM and 1 Close D - they beat PW varsity handily and Syo JV beat PW JV handily, logic says that the JV score could have been much worse if the Syo 9th and 10th graders played JV and not varsity - so please just admit that Syosset is not a weak program and we can be done with this.

Stupid is as stupid posts and this was a typical stupid post - lets start with PW where they bought up an 8th grade goalie who started for 5 years and was a big part of them being competitive. Most of the better programs will have 9th and 10th graders contributing to the varsity teams and those are the kids who become the stars and leaders in 11th and 12th grade - the ignorance is the thought process that if you are not brought up by 10th grade you wouldn't be a starter or contributor as an 11th or 12th grader and that is just not the case - every school has 12th grade first year starters. At the end of the day the best players play regardless of grade.
Since you are a child I will make it easy for you. There are exceptions and the goalie you mention is just that. He has been an anchor for the team since 8th grade. That was because there was not a goalie in 9th-12th. He needed to be rushed up. There were no other options.Goalie and faceoff are two specialty positions and skill sets. You can't just put an attackman or a middy in net. Port had no other option. They were very lucky that he was as good as he was. What dont you understand there was noooooo other goalie.

If this is you " please read what you said because you are completely changing your story. Read the below portion first paragraph is your statement. Second statement is rebuttal to your statement. No where does person diminish players accomplishments. Just says strong programs usually do not bring up 10 freshman and 10 sophomores. they will bring up the exceptional underclass player. Many coaches do placate parents to shut them up. Happens all the time. These kids usually get little to no playing time and ride the pine.
your statement
""""""Except that most towns move any decent underclassman to varsity except the better programs. And those are the ones you lost to. Do the math. Average program."""""
Persons rebuttal below
"""You can only play 10 players at a time. So while hopefully your best players are upperclassmen the rest sit on the sidelines. How is that good for development. Game experience rather than bench experience is a bit more important.

Still don't get you. Are you drunk. No where did anyone say anything bad about Syosset in this discussion. Here it is Syosset is great they play underclassmen on Varsity. Didn't ridicule anyone. Yes your JV and Varsity beating Port. You keep attacking Port. Whats your infatuationinfatuation. The post you started this crap with was from 3 days ago that just said Port JV went 10-4.

Your initial argument was that Port JV had 10th graders on team meant team was weak. I think you are selectively reading and comprehending what you want. What I read is if a JV team has 10th graders on it its weak. Thats what you said. As for coaches placating parents all the person said it happens but these players ride the bench. The ones that were brought up for reasons other than being studs.
Look you are always bashing Port. We can tell as Moderators who posts what and from where. You don't like Port and that's fine but your incessant attacks are getting boring.

I do think it is telling is if a 10th grader plays JV when an 8th grader or Freshman is pulled up to varsity ahead of the 10th grader, even if they don't see much time. I don't think it states if the JV is weak, being pulled up is a player by player / position by position situation.
Is it a death sentence for a 10th grader, of course not, does it test your metal; absolutely. These kids grow at such fluid rates it could be different year to year. But of course this is LI you don't get better by reclassing and giving your player an extra year. On LI, usually the younger player will also get better too. This is the summer time to get yourself bigger faster stronger. Who puts the work in usually sets players apart - at least the good ones!!!

Great post. You can have a player brought up early due to a lack of player at a certain position. Happens a lot. You can also have a great player that doesnt get much time or brought up because he is a lefty attack and a team has 2 great lefty attack players. So underclass player who is very good will play with JV and practice with varsity. Thats how you improve. Yes those who work hard usually get better and recognized. And, there are underclass players who are very deserving of being brought up, but there are those who are brought up for reasons other than being stud players..

You twisted my words, I unequivocally do not think practicing with varsity to ONLY play JV is a good thing. Maybe you get a game or two against tougher JV teams that is all. If you are good enough to practice then you are a varsity player riding the pine or not.
What I think you are alluding to though are mommy and daddy's with Rose colored glasses. In my experience the older players parents are the ones who's glasses are most shaded, usually with a tint of jealousy.

You twisted my words, I unequivocally do not think practicing with varsity to ONLY play JV is a good thing. Maybe you get a game or two against tougher JV teams that is all. If you are good enough to practice then you are a varsity player riding the pine or not.
What I think you are alluding to though are mommy and daddy's with Rose colored glasses. In my experience the older players parents are the ones who's glasses are most shaded, usually with a tint of jealousy.
so getting the varsity letter is all that matters. It seems thats what your saying. Isnt practicing versus better players where you get better. Yes also playing in games but riding the bench is no where to get better.

When it comes to goalie play.
This sounds more like 10th and 11th grade parents making excuses for their kids not playing over a 8th/9th grader. If a kid plays on a specific "elite" travel team 9 out of 10 times his is better and deserving. These are just statements from disgruntled parents who think their kid is better just because they are older. If the kids where in the same grade who is the better player.

Has anyone mentioned goalie play? What team are you talking about? The discussion here is about whether or not Port JV having 10th graders on it means they are bad.
As for playing on an elite travel team meaning your better than another player you my friend are drunk on that Kool Aid the directors have been pouring down your throat.

Thought Port's goalie was a 5 year starter. Didn't he start and finish every game but one.
I think these Pt W posters really need their own thread. Nobody else cares about this mediocre team or all their dribble!

Unfortunately I reside in a school district whose policy prohibits the varsity coaches from bringing up underclassmen to play over seniors. In our district the BOEggheads decided that everyone's a winner and nobody should ever be told they are not good enough. We're really teaching some valuable life lessons about hard work, disappointment and overcoming obstacles. NOT

My comments to clarify were not upload or "ore edited". Don't think anyone was questioning starters but an underclassmen riding the bench instead of playing JV. But its really about something else, as it always is,

Larry 100% agree. This kid was a great goalie earned a lot of accolades. Never did I say a bad thing about him so don't know where the reference to an attack is coming from.
The issue at hand is a person insists that if a program has 10th graders on JV its a weak program. Really logically explain that to me. How many programs have 10 freshman and 10 sophomores playing up on Varsity. If a program is strong it has enough talented players in each grade to field a good JV and Varsity team. They dont need to rely on underclassmen to make varsity competitive. In the instance that there is a player that is good enough to be moved up they will be as a freshman sophomore even an 8th graders. Most good coaches would prefer to allow players to physically and mentally develop on JV. They are attacking Port JV for having Sophomore players. Not everyone is good enough to play Varsity in 9th or 10th. Some kids have to develop and mature. Yet this asshat keeps attacking Port and it's JV program and Varsity. I give an reasonable answer and they act like a child.
You are defending 10th graders playing on PW JV by ridiculing programs that bring up 8th, 9th and 10th graders by saying they are weak programs that is why the have to bring up younger players.
Syosset started 2 10th graders on attack, 1 LSM, 1 SSDM and 1 Close D - they beat PW varsity handily and Syo JV beat PW JV handily, logic says that the JV score could have been much worse if the Syo 9th and 10th graders played JV and not varsity - so please just admit that Syosset is not a weak program and we can be done with this.
I do think it is telling is if a 10th grader plays JV when an 8th grader or Freshman is pulled up to varsity ahead of the 10th grader, even if they don't see much time. I don't think it states if the JV is weak, being pulled up is a player by player / position by position situation.
Is it a death sentence for a 10th grader, of course not, does it test your metal; absolutely. These kids grow at such fluid rates it could be different year to year. But of course this is LI you don't get better by reclassing and giving your player an extra year. On LI, usually the younger player will also get better too. This is the summer time to get yourself bigger faster stronger. Who puts the work in usually sets players apart - at least the good ones!!!
Great post. You can have a player brought up early due to a lack of player at a certain position. Happens a lot. You can also have a great player that doesnt get much time or brought up because he is a lefty attack and a team has 2 great lefty attack players. So underclass player who is very good will play with JV and practice with varsity. Thats how you improve. Yes those who work hard usually get better and recognized. And, there are underclass players who are very deserving of being brought up, but there are those who are brought up for reasons other than being stud players..

what was being said is that a player can practice with Varsity yet get playing time in games with JV. So he is practicing with the better players yet is getting playing time in games with JV rather than ride the bench during Varsity games.
What works best for one kid might not work for another kid. What works best for one school might not work for another. There are a lot of factors involved in the decision to move an 8th or 9th grader up to varsity, I have been through this with my kids.
ability
size
maturity
need at the position
development
experience
parental pressure
school policy and or philosophy
each case is different and you have to do what is in the best interest of your kid and hope the varsity coach does what he feels is in the best interest of the kid but his responsibility is to the team and the program as well as the individual.
If a 9th grader is the second best goalie or second best fogo in the school it might be in the best interest of the kid to play JV and get the game experience but it would definitely be in the teams best interest to be on the bench for the varsity in case he is needed so you have a clear conflict between what is better for the kid and what is better for the team.

I could have told you that.after seeing Nassau team having half the kids from two schools. Teams should be picked based on talent not school. Maybe not a good sign for those two schools going forward . It is what it is and it only cost you an extra $100 so not bad after all. Makes it tough for the college coaches to think your kid is one of the better players when they get beat up like that. Live and learn not to do this again.

23 players from 16 schools and you deduct that half are from two schools and that is not a good sign going forward? doesn't add up. Whats next? your gonna say "they bought their frickin' toys"

Don't feel like it's only Nassau. These coaches need to remember that kids hear and then talk. Certain kids at Suffolk final 40 game were being told not to worry about going in, and "let the other guys play". "You'll be fine". If that's what it's going to be just make it an all star game based on reputation. Oh wait....sorry, they couldn't collect the try out fees then. What was I thinking?!?!
how bout a simple good job TEAM LONG ISLAND I mean suffolk

maybe a positive spin could be put on the above scenario that the coach recognizes that player A was clearly going to make the team and he was giving player B the opportunity to make the team or get a few extra reps in front of the college coaches
Are the UA Underclass rosters out yet for Long Island?
I thought you had to show up to both nights of UA tryouts to make the team. What a joke! That team was picked and influenced way before tryouts started. The kids even heard someone (adult) say it at all star game. Same old lacrosse BS

For Command or Highlight.
Looks like most of the old Tenacious Turtles make up the Highlight team...all good players, I see no Turtle fogo, has he fallen off? Don't think he had much playing time in HS

Unfortunately, the 1st night of UA Tryouts conflicted with both the Nassau County and Suffolk County Lacrosse Awards dinner events. If you look at the Highlight Roster you will see at least 2 All-Americans as well as All-County (mostly 2X all-county) for most other public school kids on the team. As leaders on their respective teams it was important for them to be at these events.
So do you think all of these kids (who are likely the best kids on LI) not be eligible due to the conflict?
Really?

Yes really! Then don't post the rules and just make a turtle UA team!!! You don't need a tryout

Good players yes, but the whole thing is an absolute farce.
UA has sold out. Gone the way of the brine events national AA regionals. No legitamacy. What a shame, was once the premier event. Corrigan sports, really..almost half the kids on the 17/18 team are from two towns. No one else knows how to play lacrosse on LI ? hoping for better outcome in tourney then years prior for LI.

So thats fair to the kids that went both nights? Sorry, if you want to make a team and the tryouts are both nights, you should have to go both nights like everyone else. It actually doesnt matter in this case because this team was picked before the tryouts even started so this is a moot conversation.

The main page for UA says "Players selected to the 22 player roster must have registered and checked in on the first day of the tryout. No exceptions." And then if you do some searching (and call the organizers who tell you where to look buried in the FAQs) you find " Player must submit and official letter documenting excuse for missing to lacrosse@corrigansports.com at least one week before tryout. All requests will be reviewed and Player may be granted special permission and instruction to check in on day two of the tryout." So there no exceptions except for the exceptions. Or you can parse words and "check in" to get your pinnie and then head to the All County Dinner with plenty of time to spare.
It all plays out in the end. The kids who were "all stars" because daddy controlled it are the ones that get to college and either don't play, quit, get kicked off teams and out of schools or transfer to a lower level schools. I've seen it over and over
The level of entitlement is mind-boggling.

So thats fair to the kids that went both nights? Sorry, if you want to make a team and the tryouts are both nights, you should have to go both nights like everyone else. It actually doesnt matter in this case because this team was picked before the tryouts even started so this is a moot conversation.
-----------------------------
Unfortunately, the 1st night of UA Tryouts conflicted with both the Nassau County and Suffolk County Lacrosse Awards dinner events. If you look at the Highlight Roster you will see at least 2 All-Americans as well as All-County (mostly 2X all-county) for most other public school kids on the team. As leaders on their respective teams it was important for them to be at these events.

There are players on the list that didn't even show up for the tryouts.

I had gone back a forth on this issue a few times for other events. IMHO The boys who attended the County dinner have a pass for the first night but then you show up the second night, as some did.
You don't show you don't make it. The organization should have put a disclaimer in for those boys, instead it said you need to be registered and checked in the first night. I guess it never said in person.

A bunch of the best D! college coaches and panels of HS coaches in Nassau and Suffolk think highly of these kids independent from UA Evaluators.
it is unfortunate that UA tryouts were on same day as the county awards dinners... this was not the fault of these kids.

It's endless...just come to the realization your kid isn't as good as the kids who made it...It's an incredible team with student athletes verbally committed to some incredible schools...
The endless whining wears thin...If your kid was a standout and showed it on the field they would be there. I do not know one coach who would select a team to lose...you're probably the same parent who complains about playing time...yes you're right...coaches play less talented kids so they can lose so your fantastic, highly skilled kid can sit on the bench...
Stop with the personal persecution complaining...it's a game! And, a game with no future ahead of it. Unless you want to play for the Lizards and make $15,000 a summer. LOL... Take advantage of the opportunities you earn and move on!

There is always the uncommitted games. All hope is not lost, just because there are obstacles and things you do not see eye to eye never give up. It is not how you fall but how you rise up!

So kinda like how they picked last years team and went to the tournament and got smoked? Pretty good bet theyll go down and get smoked again. Having said that, the argument is not about whether or not the kids who were picked are good players, its about the process. Clearly in this case the kids were picked before the tryout began and kids were allowed to not show up to both nights. If that was the case, why not pick the team beforehand and forego the tryout and save everyone the time and money? Additionally this same group of kids has been picked time and time again for almost every high profile event there is dating back several years, its a little ridiculous now. Oh and not to mention the fact that 18 out of the 22 kids chosen play for or have played for the club that one of the head evaluators owns. If you cant understand why people are upset, you clearly have no clue.

This list is the team from LI and its impressive. But several D1 commits from LI weren't added. All VERY STRONG players even if they didnt make it. Truth is from LI, PA & MD it should be 25 man roster due to the mass amount of talent in those areas. What the [lacrosse] a few more $$$ in UA pocket.

List is wrong.
No doubt they are all excellent players, but if you think this evaluation process is legit then the sky probably isn't blue in your world. Kids are passed on and overlooked every year so the so called "independent evaluators" can take their own guys. Most of these kids play for the right clubs and are affiliated with the right people to be considered before the try outs start. We all know who runs this show and how it works. The only way for it to be fair would be to bring in real independent evaluators. I'm sure some of the same kids would make it, but I bet there would also be some new names that we haven't seen much of.
List is 100% correct..
I guess u either can't read (details are straight from the UA site) or u r delusional.
Tryouts for UA are not mandatory... If u don't like the process or event don't try out... There are many other events available.
Have a nice summer!

my personal take on this is as follows - My son chose to go to the first night of the tryout instead of the dinner, he does not regret the decision even though he now knows he could have just come the second night. He is uncommitted so playing in front of a lot of good college coaches was well worth the money, He was picked for the final game but not for the final team and that is about correct based on the players that made it over him that are clearly better players. He was picked for the uncommitted game and is going to play in that so while I understand people being upset with the process we were pretty happy and we will return next year to try again.
My son high school coach told me not to tryout -it is fix although he thought my son was go enough to make it with a fair process.

Who cares where they are going to college! That doesn't make them a great player. Some commit to play at schools that they got no Athletic money to go to and will probably never see the field. This has been a catholic/express driven tryout and everyone knows it! It is what it is. Mike C and company are going to take the kids they are comfortable with. The girls side has the same complaints with the YJ's. The only problem is that The LI boys lose and the girls win! You would think that you might want to step outside your comfort zone and actually try to find some gritty players to add to your silver spoon kids! But That won't happen, it's not good for business!

That final game was really good high speed lacrosse.

Just saw the list. I guess my son should have tried out based on some of these names. Politics politics politics at its best. I will leave it at that. Looks like a dominant Catholic league team with a few public throw ins to make it look good..Too funny

Such foolish comments. Most of this team is PUBLIC school kids. As far as lax $$$ in college, how the heck do you know what (or what not) 22 kids are getting? Stop being bitter, these kids are all very strong players. I watched the last game and most of these kids played great.

This list is the team from LI and its impressive. But several D1 commits from LI weren't added. All VERY STRONG players even if they didnt make it. Truth is from LI, PA & MD it should be 25 man roster due to the mass amount of talent in those areas. What the [lacrosse] a few more $$$ in UA pocket.
Hopkins - 5
Maryland - 2
Loyola - 2
Duke - 1
PSU - 1
Mich - 2
Cornell - 2
Bucknell -1
Yale - 1
Harvard - 1
Nova - 1
Lehigh - 1
SB -1
UNC -1
Who cares where they are going to college! That doesn't make them a great player. Some commit to play at schools that they got no Athletic money to go to and will probably never see the field. This has been a catholic/express driven tryout and everyone knows it! It is what it is. Mike C and company are going to take the kids they are comfortable with. The girls side has the same complaints with the YJ's. The only problem is that The LI boys lose and the girls win! You would think that you might want to step outside your comfort zone and actually try to find some gritty players to add to your silver spoon kids! But That won't happen, it's not good for business!
Seem like you know a lot. So can you please tell me which of the NCAA programs listed are the catholic school kids? Thanks.

I see two list which is correct?
Just saw the list. I guess my son should have tried out based on some of these names. Politics politics politics at its best. I will leave it at that. Looks like a dominant Catholic league team with a few public throw ins to make it look good..Too funny
There are 4 catholic school kids out of 22. Read instead of assuming and hating.
They commit to the schools that will best serve them after college is over and wether they see the field or not as listed in post 171857
Lacrosse aided them into getting I mayo that school
College is a small portion of your life just like high school before that
Don't live to remember the glory
Live your life to create more as you go along in the entire journey

Such foolish comments. Most of this team is PUBLIC school kids. As far as lax $$$ in college, how the heck do you know what (or what not) 22 kids are getting? Stop being bitter, these kids are all very strong players. I watched the last game and most of these kids played great.
Says the dad whose kid made it. All anyone needs to know is that 18 out of the 22 kids are current or former express players, period. Doesnt actually matter though, theyll get smoked just like last year.

Directly from the UA Website:
Selection Process
– At the end of the tryout all evaluators will meet to discuss all players and select the final 22 players.
– A Corrigan Sports representative will lead the discussion and put players ‘on the board’
– No coach (high school or club) may mention one of their own players
– Players will be evaluated on their performance at the tryout
– The final 22 player roster must have two (2) goalies, but can be comprised of any other combination of Attack, Midfield, and Defense. (ex/ 6 Att, 8 Mid, 6 Def)
– Once the final roster is selected the Uncommitted players will be selected
– The final roster will be posted within 48 hours of the team being selected, and invitation emails will be sent out.
– Players selected to the 22 player roster must have registered and checked in on the first day of the tryout. No exceptions.
Im not sure but it looks like it says "players will be evaluated by their performance at the tryout". I guess you cant read, nice try though. Have fun getting your head handed to you down there.
Now that I've read all these posts about UA I'm glad my kid didn't make it. I would never want my son to make it because of politics. I would rather him be a stand up person and a great lacrosse player ( which he is) and go far in life because of hard work. That's what matters in the end anyway. Good luck to that team. I hope life always gets handed to you on a silver platter. If not maybe daddy will push his way for you.
Where do I find the names that made it ?
Two observations about the UA "tryouts." The first is Turtles, Turtles, Turtles. Guess who the evaluators were? I watched one of the ex-Turtles not play very well. But this team was not only picked based on politics, but resume and the colleges they are committed to. Not two late afternoons at Mitchell Field. This team was picked long ago. The other is birth date. I really enjoyed finally seeing their birthdays listed. The majority of players picked were anywhere from 6-12 months older than my son in the same graduating year. If given a do over I would have held my son (August birthday) back. Don't tell me there is no advantage to doing that. It also makes sense when I think back to some players that dominated in the early grades. Age matters.
Well the selection process is a lie... I can tell you 5 kids off the top of my head that didn't attend day 1 of tryouts and made it to the final game .. I can also tell you there was indeed a predetermined team before tryouts even started with the exception of a few openings !!!! It's really a shame that there is no such thing as a legit tryout . 2 players I personally know made the final roster that didn't attend day 1 ... Funny UA rules specifically says they must attend Both days to be eligible for final team .. Parents throwing their money around and kissing [lacrosse] to get their kid ahead !!! Kudos to the kids that made it on their own ...
Ten out of twenty UA players with a 2017 graduation year born in 1998. Only three players born after June 1999. Coincidence? Memo to parents: Want your kid on the A team? Make sure he is older than the all the other kids.

Go to the facts tab. Slide down you will see the note (paraphrasing) if you can't make the first day give a reason and they may grant you a pass to day two.
After all is said and done are you splitting hairs on the selections. Or is there a big miss or obvious selection that will make the parent cringe when the kid enters the game.
Good luck to all the kids selected.

Youre just not getting it. Nobody is saying the kids that got picked are not good players or there was an obvious snub or omission. The point here is that this was supposed to be an "open" tryout, which it clearly wasnt. The kids that showed up to tryout and legitimately make the team were not given a fair shot to do so because the majority of the team was predetermined. The whole things stinks of cronyism and favoritism plain and simple and quite frankly its the reason most of the lacrosse world dislikes Long Island intensely.

He was picked for the uncommitted game and is going to play in that so while I understand people being upset with the process we were pretty happy and we will return next year to try again.
Congrats - for full disclosure, does he play for Outlaws and or Chaminade?
Many of the seniors on the team LI team posted in newsday this past sunday did not try out last year. In fact very few showed last year. They knew the fix was in last year and the word is out now. Favortism at its best. Lets check in a few weeks for the results of event and on field performance. Hope we are wrong and LI finally wins one.
Truth in advertising. If 15 spots(just an example) are predetermined, just say it. We all know how showcases go, (which by the way has got to be the biggest detriment to team play/cohesiveness), me ball is disgusting and no way shows who are the better players in game situations. Final results, you get what you get, individual showboating.
My oldest played in college, watching how lacrosse has evolved since 2008 HS level no thanks. My younger 3 have/will finish out HS, 2 of the 3 all conference varsity starters since 9th grade, the process now is UGLY. Nothing much separates the kids who have played since the age of 7/8/9 EXCEPT who you know. Don't be fooled.

I hate to break it to you, but there are a lot of committed 2017s - your golden boys are not that special. Did you notice that the kids from the H.S teams who beat your self-proclaimed 'best kids on L.I' didn't bother trying out? Why? Because it is widely known by the coaching community that this is a pre-arranged team based on cronyism not merit. When you're on the inside, it's probably best to keep quiet. You're embarrassing yourself by defending this blantanly corrupt process. No County, LIC, State or Catholic championships for most of the chosen ones ...but at least they get a helmet from LU... I mean UA.
You want a fair "tryout"? Stop involving the St Anthonys/ Express contingent as "evaluators." But with impartial evaluators, the chosen ones might have to actually try as opposed to relying on their resumes. By the way, politics has always played a role in these things going back to the Empire State games of 30 years ago.

It will never be fair. It is bad business. It is one of the selling points to play Express. The only way to get them out is for the tryout numbers to plummet. Unfortunately people still think they have a chance and with a good amount of coaches there, they will get numbers. Under Armour doesn't care if Long Island loses, in fact they would rather the Maryland teams win. It is a shame because with the talent on LI we should be in the championship every year just like the LI girls. If you are going to load up the teams with one clubs kids at least win! If you say all the kids are great then the coaching must suck! Either way if you don't play Express or have a connection to Express stay home and save your money! If enough kids do that you will see how fast UA gets rid of Mike C!

Who is hating? Just stating the obvious! If LI is a hot bed for lax and they pick a team supposedly that is the best, we should win! or at least be close. That has not been the case because it is not a choice of the best kids on LI, it is a choice of the best kids who play at 1 club with a few token outsiders. It is what it is. I have a daughter who played YJ and was on the UA team. It is political to a point w them too, but not nearly as bad as the boys. The difference is that they win and the boys don't! so at least they have an argument.
Spoken like a chosen one,
Brother Gary should only know what goes on with SA lax and Express and how badly the "unfavored" kids are treated. It's disgusting!! If youre smart and your thinking of coming to SA DONT! you will be sorry

Am I just too sensitive or are there anti-semitic undertones in the original post? are the Syosset inhabitants more polite in the Pizzerias or Home Depot? and just the "Gimmie, I'll take." lacrosse parents only in the bagel establishments?
Why did the second poster needed to reply and confirm the first post about a month after it was originally posted?
I would suggest you build that wall around your town (and make us Jews pay for it) and stay out of our Kibbutz.

For someone who seems to have a problem with Syosset / Woodbury you seem to spend a lot of time at the "gym, bagelstore...whereever..."
I guess you must like Syosset / Woodbury or you wouldn't keep going to these places.
Or, maybe the rock you live under does have good bagels nearby. No gyms in your town? Probably has a bunch of good bars though.

I'll endure the slight trip to the west for Arata Sushi and the croissants across the street and I'm alsways sure to emphsasize "please" when ordering and "thank you" upon completion hoping maybe it might rub off on the locals...

Don't throw stones what glass house do you live in? Or are you scared to say???
Scared? I live in Huntington. Yes, maybe late at night south of the train station I would be a little scared--but I rarely find myself there at that hour.

Yes, you only go there (South Huntington) to buy the crack you are obviously on...
I guess they don't have sushi in Huntington...? Please... You are definitely a wannabe...
Do us all a favor... Stay in Suffolk County.
Now go get ur shine box.
Maybe the moderator should stop posting moronic statements from people that have nothing to do with lacrosse.

so how was your day going before you decided you needed to tell the whole world that you anonymously agreed with a month old stupid post and stir things up on BOTC?
woke up, brushed your tooth, kick your dog, pee in the sink and then on your way out the door you stop and think to your self "hmmmm, I wonder if everybody on the internet wants to know my feelings about the manners of sports parents in Syosset?" so you turn around, kick the dog again and reply to a month old post.....now you can grab you lunch pail and go to the coal mines knowing that god forbid anything happens to me today, at least the world will know I didn't like a few sports parents in Syosset or Woodbury. Thank you Olgie

Give the guy a break he's stressing over paying for private school..... Huntington guy is just angry that no one told him you can't send your kids to public school no matter what part of Huntington you live in. Sounds like he has to take his anger and jealously out on an entire town by stereotyping the people that live there. And by the way who's to say that the "rude" people you are coming into contact with in the syo/Woodbury establishments aren't just like you and not from Syosset but just there from outside town patronizing these establishments . Then your whole theory is shot to [lacrosse] . Obnoxious ppl r all over the place

Yes, you only go there (South Huntington) to buy the crack you are obviously on...
I guess they don't have sushi in Huntington...? Please... You are definitely a wannabe...
Do us all a favor... Stay in Suffolk County.
Now go get ur shine box.
Give the guy a break he's stressing over paying for private school..... Huntington guy is just angry that no one told him you can't send your kids to public school no matter what part of Huntington you live in. Sounds like he has to take his anger and jealously out on an entire town by stereotyping the people that live there. And by the way who's to say that the "rude" people you are coming into contact with in the syo/Woodbury establishments aren't just like you and not from Syosset but just there from outside town patronizing these establishments . Then your whole theory is shot to [lacrosse] . Obnoxious ppl r all over the place
From the NY Times: say no more
The number of Hispanics living in the Town of Huntington, about 45 miles east of Manhattan, has risen to 22,207, from 12,837 a decade ago, according to the United States Census Bureau. But Hispanics from Central America have been flocking to the area for decades, eager for jobs, cutting lawns or dishwashing in the wealthy ZIP codes nearby.
By now, many of them are homeowners themselves, taxpayers and businesses owners.
“They are our football players and our cheerleaders and they eat lunch with our children,” said Jennifer LaVertu, 43, a neighborhood activist, of the children of immigrants who fill the town’s schools and athletic fields.
that's ok, under Trump, Huntington gets the first wall....
The problem is not the Hispanics... They are hardworking pleasant people. I would prefer to have them as a neighbor or part of my community any day over over the white trash bigoted racist who made that comment about Syosset / Woodbury.
Leave the minorities alone... Don't use them as scapegoats for all of your issues...
If you cut out one six pack a week you could afford to get your kid a lax wall so he could improve his skills.

I take it that you are not amused. Well... I am so sorry for you, feel free to stay away.
You are amused by whose town is better, who drinks from red cups, and if they offer sushi restaurants? Seems kinda sophomoric. You need to get out more. Also, change the name of the website to Back of the Strip Mall.
From CSH, I'd prefer to visit Huntington than Syosset for anything...

except underage drinking and girl fights? we would also prefer you went to Huntington or really anywhere else but Syosset -
Great! We all prefer that as well.
Thank You!
Interesting how you are changing ur story.... First you were from Huntington and liked to go to Syo / Woodbury for sushi / croissants, now you are from CSH and prefer to go to Huntington.
Which is it?
How about you start a petition to have CSH school district moved into Suffolk where it belongs... Oh no then you would have to play tougher schools... Can't have that. Oh and by the way... CSH and Woodbury border each other.. Do you really think the people are any different?
Thank You!

PLEASE stay out of Syosset / Woodbury. THANK YOU
Are you happy now?
Are you happy now?
YES. much different. Keep trying to defend yourself though, its comical...
Much different? Really?
I'm sure you came out of the same neighborhood in Queens that most of the people now living in the CSH / Syosset / Woodbury came out of before they moved to the suburbs...
You just hold your nose a bit higher when you wear your vineyard vines shirt at the Walt Whitman Mall.
Next thing you will tell me that you came over on the Mayflower.

Vineyard vines is out, the Goat is in.
my town is full of Irish. Being Irish myself i cant stand Irish people. I am going to move to Huntington, so my kids can see the world the way it really is, maybe make some friends along the way. Better soccer players anyway. Dont get me started on the Italians! Love the food but they also annoy me. Freaking Polish people, I enjoy their company. In a dry way they have a great sense of humor. Germans and Russians I can do without but they make good cars beer and vodka so I tolerate them. Now the Asians, i will need another page for them. If you think this post is stupid - scroll up. Good night America! Happy Fourth of July.

Not on the mayflower - a broken down ship from the west coast of Ireland. Left queens and went to Georgetown then an MBA from northwestern. Worked in investment banking now in private equity - it's still a great country. Too bad douchebags like you are ruining it.

i think lying d-bags like you are ruining this country. And you know where you can put your phony MBA. Liar.
Keep talking syosset guy... lol you're reinforcing what everyone else thinks about you and your town... and by the way, we all came from somewhere, that not the problem--its the culture that is cultivated in some towns that defines them, not where the people moved from.
so now we are back to bashing towns, lifestyles, manners,houses and folks from towns?....cmon' people..
Happy Fourth of July to you too Irish guy. Funny post, hopefully we can all realize how silly we sound sometimes.

So basically what you are saying is that you are a Chaminade Guy who either couldn't make it to GC or got kicked out of GC. There gain is CSH's loss.
Nice the way you are tooting your own whistle. That's classy!
Go bury yourself in your expensive single malt whiskey bottle.

"Their" gain..NOT there...so the non-Chaminade education shines through
Every town has a loud mouth jerk...
If you don't know who the loud mouth jerk is in your town, it's likely you.

how come all those loud mouth jerks end up migrating to travel lax sidelines though?

ever been to a real competitive cheer or dance competition. it happens in all walks of life's activities and sports not just Lax.
like those who want to be more elite by over extending themselves to live above their means, some people think that having a lacrosse player for a child, makes them somehow part of the perceived upper crust..preppy sport, clothes etc.

OK Mr. Chaminade... Since you are being critical over an obvious spell check situation, let's review your post...
With my public school education I see a bunch of issues with capitalization as well as incorrect form of the "that" ...
"that not to problem--" did you mean 'that's not the problem'?
The Private Equity business must be slow these days as you are trolling BOTC all day.

????? bizarre thoughts above... reevaluate reality.
you tools are funnier than a Honeymooners rerun...sorry, 'tools" not proper word....dbags better...
To solve this problem, everyone should tell us what town they are from. We can all then bash said town. Would move this post right to the top and provide endless entertainment. Any takers?
Manhattan and Locust Valley. Let the games begin.
Well Manhattan sucks!!
Locust Valley(Bayville)... I cant help but think of the UCON Mac & Cheese a-hole/d-bag
CSH. Walls wharf (Bayville/LV). Love the restaurant and visiting the town.
Figured I'd take a week off from this thread. Still as boring as ever.

What people need to start understanding is there are other regions with exceptional talent. The players that were sent from Long Island are all and I mean all very gifted and talented players. They were beat by very gifted and talented players. Unless there is a kid that is so far ahead or better than the ones not selected than I would say there was an injustice. To say that this was not a very talented group representing Long Island is just plain silly. I believe every kid on the Highlight team is committed to top programs. The boys played well and did a great job. This goes for all the boys in all divisions

I agree that there is talent on that squad, just like previous years. Questions is, why can't LI win? When was the last time they did? Could it be coaching?
They lost? Wow..... But wait weren't those kids the AA's who couldn't miss the dinner to accept their numerous awards on the first night of tryouts? I'm so shocked they lost. These were the best players in the top 40. I hope you hear the sarcasm
Is this live feed the best lacrosse HS players in the US? Ummm something seriously wrong in that declaration. What Im seeing is pretty low bar.
Come on guys dont be so jaded. The kids are all good. These type of events are not about coaching. How much can a coach teach in just a few practices. I get it that some people are pissed their child didnt make the team and they will always bash the selection process. The fact that Long Island has not won it in a while sucks but its not as if the teams they are playing suck. All these teams are good and at any given time one can beat another.

You are very wrong there is a kid who doesn't belong, point to blank is not as good as 20 others, but finds his way on each of these types of teams. He does not belong.
My kid is a middie on top team. Was not good has some of these kids in 9th grade.
Now his better then most of them. He told me he doesn't want to try out, because the team is picked already. That is the problem I am sure he is not alone.@

No problem with the players, but bad mix when dad's are still coaching 17 and 18 year olds

What kind of coward are you to hide behind an anonymous post spouting nonsense about a specific student - athlete on the UA LI Team.
Be a man and give YOUR name. Coward.

Long Island beat the two teams that are vying for the title. Its all about match ups. Any one team can beat another. One player does not make or break a team of 22 players at this level.
From what I can tell, 15 of 22 players on the LI UA team were turtles/Express at one time or another. There may be a couple more but can't verify. There are a couple others who are younger and also play for express. There is no one on the team who doesn't have a connection to at least one of the organizers. Mike Chanenchuk and the so called impartial evaluators would have us all believe that these same kids that everyone has talked about since 4/5th grade as the best on Long Island are still the absolute best. im sorry, but the best kids in our town back then are not nearly the best now. Saying the turtle/express kids are still the best is saying that the rest of Long Island didn't develop over the last 6-7 yrs. Certainly, those kids are good, but it's time for everyone to realize that UA tryouts are a promotional/marketing tool for the Long Island express and Mike Chanenchuk. He has it made because people will continue to attend because it's a great chance for kids to be seen by a lot of coaches, but he can chose whoever he wants because there are no checks and balances or governing bodies to regulate anything. Corrigan sports gives him complete control and no one can call BS. It is what it is. Parents moving forward will have to talk to the kids who aren't connected and explain what to expect. Some will not try out and some will. Our family chose to try out because it gave our son an opportunity to play in front of a lot of coaches and not leave the island. Unfortunately we put money in the pockets of some unethical people, but my kid is the priority. For anyone who is frustrated by this process, it may help a little to know the college coach's know it's a scam. That's why they show up on the first day before all the political BS starts. I have serious concerns for our sport in the future. Good luck to all.

None of this is new. All star teams are always political, and there is always a whole lot of complaining after the teams are picked (much of this complaining is founded, some is not).
The Empire State Games were the same way. Whatever replaces this UA thing in the future will be the same way.

18/22 players on the UA team are or were affiliated with Express at one time or another, I think that pretty much tells you all you need to know about this farce of an event.

And MANY Express/SA/Cham kids didnt make the team of 22. And of them, many deserved to make the 22. But the 22 picked is not why the team lost.

Yes I agree but I was responding to someone saying ONLY kids from Express or any player whom ever played for Express (which is a crazy broad statement!) made the 22.

Umm its not a crazy broad statement at all, FACT: 18 of the 22 kids that made the final roster are or were Express players and who was evaluating and coaching the team?
Not sure there is an alternative to the MC Express coaching show. Who else wants this? Does UA pay well? I would think other highly qualified
coaches are involved in other higher $$ gigs this time of year. Do you want to deal with crazy parents? Do other club guys want to try this?
I cant wait to see the [lacrosse] show a few years from now when Lizards coach has his guys in this age bracket, should be interesting.

IMO- this comment, "are or were affiliated with Express at one time or another" is a very broad statement because of the amount of players over the years in 2017 class that might've played for Express, its a lot of kids. Thats my only point, I am not a coach or owner of Express.

Amen to the above! And besides the money grab what is it MC is doing? Continuing to fuel the SA machine. Play for us. Play for me. Whether it's for the Express or even better SA. See all the riches that await you. Don't go to the other private schools. They can't give you what we do. Your public high school team stinks. Our connections will get you on teams you never would have been on if not affiliated with us. The lazy college coaches come to us. You will get exposure. Sure we have 60 kids on the sideline after cuts. Sure you probably won't play any substantial varsity minutes. But you'll be on a winner. We have no interest in the CHSAA league being improved. So what if the championship is predetermined for the next 50 years? Only two teams matter anyway. Don't listen to the talking heads on MSG Varsity. We are the only game in town and somehow I keep ending up evaluating UA teams. Isn't life grand? HAHA. So when people talk about what's good for the game. Don't listen. Come to the Express. Come to SA. And all will be right in the world. Yack!

And MANY Express/SA/Cham kids didnt make the team of 22. And of them, many deserved to make the 22. But the 22 picked is not why the team lost.
So how is the 22 picked not why the team lost? Please enlighten us. Why did they lose?
Who was controlling the box? Who was calling the plays? Who was handling player match ups? Who was handling the subs? Who was running the team?

The whole system is broken and corrupt. From the selection process to the coaching, it all sucks.

Again -- neither Chaminade nor St. Anthony's pushed for the current two team league.
You gotta laugh when you hear St. A & Chammy refer to themselves as being state champs. What a crock.

Crock of crap! They have absolutely no idea what it takes to be a real state champ!

Nobody from either school ever does. Every once in a while someone from MSGV will call them "AAA state champs" or something similar, but I've never heard anyone from either school refer to themselves as the state champions of anything.
And complaints from the smaller schools is what led to the current two-team setup. It was not driven by either Chaminade or St. Anthony's.
Nice choke job by the hand picked dream team, what an absolute joke...........

The players or coaches? Is there a official list of coaches from that team somewhere?
Go back to ur red cup.....
Don't drag the players into this. The kids all played hard and are not involved in the selection process.
I'm sure ur kid is best on LI right? If so he should have many opportunities to play in high level events.... UA is one event... Get over it. How was Brine ? Did ur kid make that? Did he try out? Oh and by the way if u think the UA tryouts were unfair on LI u could have tried out for Jersey or upstate squads.... If ur kid is such a stud he would make it... No?
Don't worry, in a few short years you and ur son can belly up to the bar together and [lacrosse] about how unfair life is...
Enjoy!

Why not do a catholic school vs public game in the style of the (Nassau Suffolk game).
I look at it this way. Nassau or Suffolk only plays about 15 kids in that N/S game so combine those 30 boys and make one team, then you say the catholics monopolizes the All-Star event selection process so why not make their political picks another team and have at it.
Do it grade by grade, like N/S game and see who is better; if you think the catholic school teams are all star teams anyway. See what true all-star teams are.

One thing for sure is if you are a midfielder that doesn't play any defense you have a chance to make UA team..not one of those kids play any defense. You can't tell me the offense is that good. Everyone can't be an offensive midfielder. We're they never taught defense starting at the PAL level. Embarrassing

I've certainly never heard it.
Nobody who knows anything about lacrosse would ever call C or SA state champs.

Why so angry? Was it your kid who was supposedly a stud, but choked in the big games? Tryout process is problematic, everyone knows it. Can be easily fixed by bringing in outside evaluators, which would be easy. After all they do collect about 200$ a kid tryout fee.

Lets try and make this simple so you can grasp the concept. No one is questioning the kids who were picked and their talent level or their effort. Im sure they played hard and showed well, no one is debating that the team as it was picked wasnt talented or the kids didnt deserve to be there. Having said that I think everyone can agree that the tryout process was a complete and utter farce, to call it anything different is just being blind or dishonest. If the team was predetermined as it clearly was, why have tryouts at all? The obvious answer is that it was a straight money grab. Compounding the issue was the results of the tournament in which the LI team clearly underachieved and made another early exit. I wasnt there but I have seen posts on here alluding to the fact that one of the dads was coaching the team? Is this accurate? Additionally the fact that a large majority of the kids selected were from one club and the evaluators were from that same club, makes it just that more rotten. Finally to your point about trying out for a different region, the rules clearly state you have to try out for the region you live in. Furthermore why should a kid have to drive to NJ or Upstate when he lives on LI and should have a fair shot at the LI tryout? I agree with you that the kids should not be blamed here but if you cant see why people are angry with this process, you clearly dont get it and it has nothing to do with red cups, just plain common sense.
anybody have an all star team that was picked without people going crazy over the process? Empire teams were always stacked with public school kids and the Catholics never had a fair shot, the timing of UA was perfect that they started on LI when the Empires stopped and now that team is stacked with Catholic school and Express kids. People going crazy about the U19 and the college coaches picking there own players.
The problem is that there is no fair way to do it, they are not going to bring in evaluators and coaches from off the Island. I completely believe that if 91 was running the UA show the team would have had an entirely different make up and probably the same results and if WM/SYO/WI and GC coaches where the evaluators and coaches it would have been different from the 91 or Express rosters and also would have had the same results
It is what it is and hopefully the better and deserving kids are on the "fixed" side once in a while and not always on the "screwed" side of the coin.

Really? Let your players transfer without penalty. And stop with the its out of our hands crock. Those two schools hold enough clout to get it done. After their freshman year tell those that are not going to play the deal. It's not like new talent isn't coming every year. An 8th grader who is already committed is willing to travel the 15 miles to school every morning.
Their are so many factors to this mess we call high school lacrosse. In no particular order:
1) Politics (always been a problem, going back to the ES games)
2) The travel team money grab. Selling the dream to parents. The argument that you must join or be left behind. That's what got MLB players in trouble with steroids. If you can't beat em, join em.
3) The travel team/ catholic high schools alliance. LIE, nuff said.
4) The domination by older kids at the youth level. Only now do we see the birth dates listed and note kids anywhere from 6 to sometimes 12 months older. I must say a true "A ha" moment. Birth certificates should be used to level the competition in the early grades.
5) Those kids being put together on one club team to dominate a grade for many years. I will get back to this one. I won't mention any club names here. Funny thing is we praised them for playing up, when truthfully they were right where they belonged.
6) Having not made the move pre-kindergarten, the reclassing and PG ing of players. 24 year old college grads is on the horizon.
7) A club team's directors being put in charge of evaluating kids fairly. PU, that one stinks.
8) Putting a majority of their kids on a "prestigious" team like the UA team. Total payback and selling the dream to all those contemplating high schools.
9) And pretty much telling parents- join or club (and our HS) or be left behind.
10) And the vicious cycle continues.
So one must wonder what other 4th grade reptile teams are out there today that will dominate the private HS and UA ranks 7 years from now?

Is there a posting anywhere of D3 commits?
Many should have happened July 1st.
Many should have happened July 1st.
Why July 1st?
curious about that as well. why don't you just make your announcement on this site. if you want to brag about junior...feel free.
UA Underclass - so Manhasset has an early exit from the NYS playoffs yet has 5 kids on the UA underclass team. WM and CSH win the states and only 1 kid from each of those squads are on the UA underclass roster. With more than 20% of the roster occupied with players from a team that made an early exit, why would anybody not expect a similar result from the UA squad?

You really have to be joking with this post. Unreal. Just STOP with the hyped tradition power HS programs. Those are SCHOOL TEAMS practicing for weeks & weeks everyday!! This was an all star team, huge difference. Your post is ridiculous, seriously.

So if a player in his HS program hadn't gone deep in playoffs in Nassau or Suffolk than he doesn't belong on the UA team because he is a bad player? So you cannot be considered "elite" if your HS team doesn't go in LIC or deep in playoffs?

Right, so you would expect a high school team with 5 all stars to do much better than they did. You just proved his point for him. I think YOUR post is rediculous. You read posts on this thread all the time about certain high school teams that are stacked and people claiming they are the best team because of their great individual players. So now somebody points out that those players made UA over kids from other more successful teams and you don't think that's fair? Sorry buddy, can't have it both ways. Maybe some of those players are only great when they play club lacrosse with the other all stars.
these all star games are all about politics. Simple. The guys coaching these teams and picking these teams are club directors. Therefore business men also who have to protect there business. Plain and simple. It is what it is. The only way to shut people up is to win. Example the Suffolk Nassau game this year. Suffolk was run by Gongas. Team Long Island. The majority of the teams were team Long Island kids. A lot of people were complaining just like everyone else on here. They didn't pick the best 20 kids. Difference is Suffolk swept. End of discussion. It's a vicious cycle but this is the way it is. If you don't have a rabbi in the game save your money. Just my take on this

Brine, Empire State games, UA, Nassau Suffolk, all total scams... always have been, always will be. Do some kids just tryout and make these teams? Sure a few for each event. The rest are all great players, but were chosen before these tryouts ever occurred.

Harvard, Yale, Columbia, UPenn, all total scams... always have been, always will be. Total money grabs. Do some kids just apply and get accepted? Sure a few for each school. The rest are all great students, but were chosen based o money, race, gender and family.
grow up, real world, stop with your whining. Life happens
The point that is trying to be made is that many of the best high school players on some of the better high school teams do NOT try out for this sham of a team. Their coaches tell them to stir clear. So contrary to the bias opinions of a club team owner, Catholic school coaches and a retail apparel maker, this team is obviously not representative of the best talent on Long Island.
So if a player in his HS program hadn't gone deep in playoffs in Nassau or Suffolk than he doesn't belong on the UA team because he is a bad player? So you cannot be considered "elite" if your HS team doesn't go in LIC or deep in playoffs?

a lot of the politics would lose their impact if parents got it that they are financing a corrupt system. if you realize that its a crooked "playing field" don't participate. if the college coaches acknowledge that its a farce, just pick out the schools you have interest in attending, attend their camps and establish your relationship. the slots getting filled early will dissipate if theres no panic to commit or get committed early. no reason to give up club teams or anything else. just play to improve and have some fun without the recruiting b.s. just a viewpoint.

If you didnt try out than say NOTHING. If your coach told you "dont bother" than fine, doesn't mean your kid is not a good player but it might mean a lack of confidence to give the process "no choice" but to put you on the team.
As far as the catholic school coaches, only one SA kid on the team. The lacrosse stick salesman, well thats another story. he wasnt even LISTED as a coach!

Maybe I do or maybe I don't. It doesn't really matter in this case because it's just common sense. If a high school team has 5 kids on it that were chosen as better than everyone else then it should translate into wins and ultimately championships. Again we aren't talking 1or 2, it's 5. Half the kids on a field. If that doesn't translate then maybe there are other players out there who are better but haven't had the benefit of being connected to the right people or teams. Don't be so defensive. Just a discussion.

You would think Manhasset was stacked with talent this year and went on cruise control through the NYS championships. The process needs to take kids who don't have over-inflated reputations and have demonstrated they actually know how to win on the field and not just on paper.
Any truth to the rumor. Calabria no longer coaching at Syosset.
Above list was wrong...

Let's not forget that the 5 Manhasset kids went to the NYS Championship game in 2015 and SE was in the LIC in 2015...
14 schools represented out of a roster of 22 is pretty good.

You really have to be joking with this post. Unreal. Just STOP with the hyped tradition power HS programs. Those are SCHOOL TEAMS practicing for weeks & weeks everyday!! This was an all star team, huge difference. Your post is ridiculous, seriously.
Right, so you would expect a high school team with 5 all stars to do much better than they did. You just proved his point for him. I think YOUR post is rediculous. You read posts on this thread all the time about certain high school teams that are stacked and people claiming they are the best team because of their great individual players. So now somebody points out that those players made UA over kids from other more successful teams and you don't think that's fair? Sorry buddy, can't have it both ways. Maybe some of those players are only great when they play club lacrosse with the other all stars.
Total disagree, BUDDY. But I'm sure you know much more than me about players, coaching, teams, top HS programs & lax in general.

I wasn't being defensive at all until u came off with a tough guy disrespectful "buddy" tone.
QUESTION, do you know how MUCH those 5 MHS players played? Meaning, maybe a few of them didn't play much. Maybe injured or bad subbing etc.
Or are you just assuming they lived on the field at the SAME TIME?
Its an all star team. Stinks that your son wasn't picked (our son been there) but it happens sometimes.

Never mind that how about:
18 of 22 kids current play for or have played for Express and one of the directors of the Express was one of the head evaluators. The discussion starts and stops there, but I guess it all depends on what side of the fence you sit on. If your kid was one of the chosen ones you think the tryout was fair and everything is rosy, if your kid went to the tryout and didnt get picked you are gonna tend to mistrust the process and call BS. Everyone knows the team was predetermined with the exception of a few spots so lets stop with the attempts to make it look better by pointing out what schools theyre from. The tryout was a farce, they would have been much better served just picking the team, announcing it and saving everyone the time, money and aggravation.
So ur fully discounting the fact that there were scores of college coaches on the sidelines during the tryouts? No value there? If 220 kids try out 90% will not make the team? Was it a waste for them to try out given the 1/10 chance to make the team?
If that's what u think stay home.... Don't try out.
If that's what u think stay home.... Don't try out.
Oh, and by the way...
Sometimes a good kid does not get recruited or selected for an all star event not because of there lack of skill and athletic ability, but rather because their parents are too involved and are always complaining.... You know the type... People who always complain about little Johnny's playing time, etc... Bitching about everything on BOTC...
Think about it....
Have a nice day.

With the exception of an injury, none of your points are valid. If these kids are good enough to make the LI UA team they would be on the field as much as possible. So far I haven't read one post on here that can explain how 16-18 kids who grew up playing on the same club team for the guy who ran the try outs all made the team over hundreds of very good lacrosse players from LI. Please don't tell me they are all still the best because I've seen them all play over the last several years. Some of them are and most are not. Where I come from "buddy" doesn't usually get someone that upset unless they know they're wrong or fighting a losing battle. Have a nice evening.
If parents would step back and do what's best for their kid instead of what's best for their own ego the whole experience would be better for the kids.

Another case of parents getting too involved and complaining to the AD, etc, because their prodigal son doesn't have the skills or work ethic to earn playing time on the team...
Congratulations! You should pat yourself on the back.... You are ruining an excellent program and throwing BS accusations against an excellent coach who has built a top notch program...

Coaching high school lacrosse is a no win situation. This is so pathetic in so many ways. This a very good coach who has put a lot of time and energy into a program that is one of the best on Long Island. Very sad!!!

Actually coaching HS lax has a lot of win potential - most are tenured teachers and on LI that means a decent pay, great opportunities for extra income (camps and or coaching summer travel teams ect.) - virtually no HS coach gets fired for losing ( Rotanz and Calabria were not about the W's) having said that I wouldn't want the job because I could never deal with jack a$$ parents like myself.
by the way, I deal with some insane people at my job too but the difference between JC and me is I only deal with the crazies not their parents and my boss and my co-workers always have my back
U r a despicable human being...
Oh, and ur kid is not as good as u think he is...
U r really teaching him valuable life lessons here... Threaten the school board over some nonsense to get your way... Nice! What character!
So 18 years of building a program is impacted and 50 kids (I mean 49 kids) have their HS Lax experience interrupted due to the vanity and ego of a few selfish people.

Your are the ultimate cliche of a FLID Parent from Syosset. It's a shame that people paint the entire town which is comprised of good families over the actions of a small group of jerks living out there dreams through there children.
It's pathetic.

Pathetic is a coach who would allow parents control what he does, it's a High School team, he is the coach, parents should not be influencing his decisions but apparently he did for several years and it has led to this outcome. Once you start catering to parents, you start going down the never ending deep dark place.
Good coaches throw up their hands in frustration and leave or are forced out. And somehow others not only rake in the dough but evaluate players for prestigious teams. Unbelievable.

It is not coaching allowing it!!! The board of education allows it!!!
parents ruining sports for kids, and at the same time ruining their kids.
horrible but probably true, in that there is no real youth sports anymore. It is a business's and parents should be... Better be involved.
The rec league is fine as long as it is treated as such. But we aren't talking rec league. So many times they say you probably never played a sport. I think that is so false, I think many of us did and know when we need to stay involved and when to back off.
None of this is new, and what was once old is new again. Be parents, what that's means is different to each one of us. But the HS thing doesn't last long for your children, you learn a lot if you have 3 or 4 go through, you can apply what you learned, it is a lot harder if you have 1 or 2 and the times flies by before I you realize it.
Protect your house first...

Well said. JC was a good coach who put a tremendous amount of time into building the program. There are a group of parents who have a sense of entitlement that is absolutely ridiculous. They should get a better grip on the reality that no matter who the next coach is there kids will not play unless they put in the time and get better. this is really just an absolute shame that the board got involved and is tearing down a program that is one of the better run on Long Island. I feel sorry for all those kids that were beginning the recruiting process and now have to start over with a new coach that has no history or knowledge of any of them.
Lets remember that this board is an elected group and can be out if people choose to get them out. Funny they did not get this involved when they were paying our previous superintendent the most compensation of any one in the county for her position. I guess they are as clueless as the DUMB A$$ parents that did nothing but [lacrosse] to them about playing time. 50 kids on the team what did they think would happen. Should of made cuts and moved on..

some clarity on the Syo issue -
while there has been a tremendous amount of support for the coach and a vocal minority of people with complaints (some valid and some not so much) the coach was repeatedly given the support of the administration about "coaching style and playing time issues" the final straw that led to this was an incident off the field that was reported to the school by another employee of the school district and not a parent of a player on the team (although after the situation became public I believe other parents did come forward and complained).
constant parent complaints might have been a contributing factor but they were not why this happened.
Personally I think the Board and the Superintendent spend way to much time on this one team and one coach when they have to spend so much time on real issues like common core and budgets, it seems like a stronger AD could have prevented a lot of the parent complaints and by giving meeting to all these parents they gave them a sense of power that maybe in the long run hurts the program.
God speed to the next coach that has to deal with us folks, unless he can figure out how to play 35 kids at one time he will be crucified on here and in the AD's office the morning after the first game. Imagine what the parents would be like if Syo was a losing team????
JC was and will continue to be a good coach and has "helped" build a very good program but regardless of who takes over the varsity the youth program and more importantly all the travel programs will continue to feed the HS with very well trained lacrosse players.
Good luck coach

There will be a board of education meeting this Monday, July 11th at South Woods middle school at 8:00 PM. It is a community forum where anyone can speak their mind. I will be there with my son to plead our case for coach Calabria to remain as coach. If you can attend to help our cause, please be there by 7:45
I judge a coach with the amount of talent compared to record.
JC was decent coach- not great he had a lot more talent than most teams think he should have won state in the last runs.
Coaching style- horrible- it is one thing to yell at the refs and own teammates but to belittle opposing players is un-acceptable.
He made his own bed now he has to sleep in it.
When your a coach you need to have control of your emotions

Thanks for the insight--wonder who that "other high school employee" could have been. And what they had to gain.
You sure about that not a parent part?
T heodore R oosevelt is rolling over in his grave right now over all this nonsense.
Typical case of Board covering their butts and taking the easy way out.
The situation will only get worse as the really bullying is occurring by a few selfish parents who will undoubtedly be emboldened by there influence over the Board, likely holding a potential frivolous lawsuit over the Board's head.
Well once the High school's lacrosse program goes down the drain the only thing Syosset will be known for will be idiot parents and a second rate school district.
Well done!

The Board will be calling in the starting lineup and line changes this season.

I know that it is hard for people on BOTC to believe because this is a lacrosse site not an education site but the board really does not give a poop about lacrosse or who coaches it, or any other sport for that matter. They became involved because the district felt this incident warranted the boards involvement - nothing to do with playing time or coaching style or parent complaints this was about a simple single off field error in judgment that the administration and board felt was serious enough (I DO NOT FEEL IT WAS SERIOUS ENOUGH) to not renew his contract going forward
For which he was suspended pending an investigation and reinstated at it's conclusion. Can't have it both ways. They cleared him then to resume coaching, so they look pretty incompetent, or currupt, "unclearing" him now.
Is Rooney busy nowadays?
They already have their Parent Advisory Board in place to help out the new guy.
All I got to say is Massapequa better not hire that traitor back.
There will be a revolt in Massapequa if they hire him back to coach pequa.

I went to one of the rival schools mentioned. To call Syosset a second rate school district qualifies you as an imbecile. The lax team will remain good for a while, but the changing demographics will be a factor in the future.
How would you know what went on on the sidelines? Belittling the opposing players...not so! I've witnessed opposing coaches do horrible gestures to our players after games. I feel sorry for the person who posted this BS. JC did a lot with the talent that he had. His smartness and coaching strategy enabled our team to reach the County Championship game for years
your team should have made states with that kind of talent every year. if you like your kid going home in his underwear as a punishment for losing and then have him lie to get coach reinstated then you need professional help.

wasn't punishment but it was a mistake, I didn't care nor have i heard any of the other parents on the team that I have spoken cared, thank goodness he didn't keep his e-mails on a private server..... oh wait, that is actually something important that people should and do care about

They have a term for people like you. It starts with a P and ends wth a Y.
How do you know any of the kids lied? Were you there in the room with them? And if your son plans on playing lax in college...Good Luck! Your 4 years are going to be miserable. Lastly, I've seen girls change their clothes (yes, taking their shirts off wearing sports bras) and football players leaving the building in their compression shorts. Do their parents need professional help? I think not
At least someone is acknowledging that there are talented players in Syosset...
Maybe if the school actually cared about and supported the program Syo would win states one year... Too much energy spent trying to crush the program.

It's easy to see that many parents of starters are writing their Syo defense of a coach who has shamelessly belittled and ridiculed his players over the course of many years. As a parent of a lacrosse alumni, I couldn't wait to leave (neither could my son). It is a shame that a sport that my son loved was robbed from him by this man. He lies, he deflates, chastises, and demoralizes even his best players. What is sad is that the parents of those boys that feel the brunt of his narcissism and tirades do not find it as easy to get up to a podium to voice their mistrust of JC. They and their boys know what it will mean for them-blacklisted, banished from play time, made fun of, etc. As all of you proponents suckle the teet of JC and his alleged promise of recruitment help, etc, etc. know there is an equal amount of us who will call and write to the board and administration praising them on this long awaited decision.
Ok... I will see you on Monday Night at the Board Meeting...
If u feel so strong in your convictions you should man up and do it in person , not hiding behind an aninomous post.
Nice that you feel it is appropriate to engage in aninomous character assassination! You are a real man!
I hope ur son fleeced a bit of character from JC while he was on the team.. He certainly could not have learned it from a coward like you.

Nice try but not even close. 18 out of 22 kids from the same club being selected by the guy that runs that club has nothing to do with complaining parents. Keep telling yourself the whole process wasnt a farce eventually you might even believe it.
U must be a 91 Director...

Thank you- So well said that you took the words out of a lot of our mouths . Unfortunately the people who blindly support him no matter what goes on will never see it our way and understand that we would love to be able to voice our opinions but would never do it because we are protecting our sons . Not being anonymous bc we r cowards but in order to protect the people who are most vulnerable and who just want to play the game they love . We have felt all of those things that you stated for many years but would never go to administration, an AD or JC himself bc that's just not who we are and we knew things would only be worse for our son so we never could . And we had a kid who got decent playing time , can't imagine if he didn't how miserable it would have been. Somewhere along the line JC became bigger than the program and the kids involved and that's where I think he lost focus in what was important which is a shame bc I think he loves the program more than anyone they will ever find to replace him . And his year round commitment and time put in may never be matched . Obviously there are very mixed feelings over this whole situation , don't know what the solution would be.
Can't say I don't like the guy and can't say I love him, depends on the day and the situation . In a perfect world would want him to stay on but with some major changes - less favoritism to the influencial parents /kids would be a start and realizing here's there bc of the kids would be a good next step
SWR - Sayville- Syosett. All good programs, where are those comments about the lower their teams that could compete if they had these coaches. But instead have lame A$$ ADs and one or two coaches who probably should be retired.
Careful what you wish for.
And for those of you who think anyone would raise a voice these kids want to play next level, parents and players alike ar smart, no one wants to be a whistle blower

Sound like Syosset needs an intramural lax program for all those that love the game but do not want to invest the time and effort needed to participate in a program ranked in the top 25 in the country.
Trashing a coach anonymously on BOTC shows complete lack of character.
Maybe you should stop taking your son's word for what goes on at practice and anonymously watch a practice to see for your self what goes on. You may be surprised what you see.

Drop the mic.... unbelievably thoughtful and accurate post, I would bet that the majority of people feel closer to your opinions than the lovers or the haters. No matter who they replace him with he will not be as dedicated and that could be good or bad, he wount be as emotional and that could be good or bad - he will not be as good at helping kids get recruited or make post season honors and that could be good or bad. I hope they make a decision soon and i hope that the decision is with the kids best interest at heart not the few vocal parents.

Exactly, and that intramural program can be coached by the kid on the board of ed that didn't quite like his experience as a Syosset high school student and now wants to ruin it for the coach, and unfortunately kids as well.
Any kid with the skills, drive and desire to play at the next level likely has no problem with Syo coaching.
Every year there are at least 10 kids on the Syo varsity team that can barely catch and throw the ball. Are these the kids that love the game and want to play at the next level? Well at another HS these kids would likely be cut from the varsity team. So what's better if you love the game? Being completely shut out from the team or participating, and contributing in some way with an opportunity to improve your skills?
Ask you kid what he prefers? After all, this is about the kids right? Not the vanity and ego of the parents.

Exactly spot on! It's pathetic.
So we can have competitive academics, competitive arts, and intramural sports!
Oh, and by the way that Board member shamelessly accessed the school district e-mail database to market his own book.
Pathetic.

The nepotism, favoritism, and promotion of friends and family at all costs will finally cease. Demoralization and verbal harassment of our kids....awards (including financial) given to family and friends with NO REAL PRODUCTION.... Shocking that he is gone as we were all too intimidated to speak out due to his harsh wrath and spiteful revenge that was inflicted on any who ever spoke up. THANK YOU ADMINISTRATION!! NOW....we need an OUTSIDER WITH NO RELATIVES IN THE PROGRAM OR CONFLICTS OF INTEREST to take this team to the next level. We arguably have the BEST ATTACK LINE in the country and several other D1 Commits. Should be more than enough ammunition to get it done in 2017!!! Need a coach to have genuine interest in winning and developing the program year round.

You are an idiot and an embarrassment to Manhasset
I guess junior is an attack man.
Syosset-Our team has so many kids. While many see this as a benefit, think of how a kid may feel just being benched for every game? Shouldn't they limit the number of kids on the Varsity team? Syosset has a JV A and B team after all. Really who benefits from these kids sitting on sidelines? Not the kids!! And the parents are still responsible for the same $$ for Booster clubs, etc!!!
I really believe many of us are breathing a sigh of relief that JC is gone. Coaches aren't solely responsible for the teams wins either. Parents pay a pretty penny over many years on various teams and workshops to nurture talent. It doesn't just show itself in high school!!! Come on people!! What we need is a coach that is fair, just, smart and also tough-but in a way that brings out the ability of a team working together. Not all the emotional politics we have had to endure. I am writing in support of the board's decision.

Glad I'm not in Manhasset...
You just mentioned "...favoritism, and promotion of friends and family at all costs will finally cease."
Yet, in the same breath, you show your favorites and promote the attack and several other D-I recruits. Perhaps one is your family?
Looks like you can be the first to be blamed for the upcoming generation's problems.
Best of luck Manhasset. You'll find out who this is soon enough. Just hope he/she doesn't know someone on the BOE!

--------------------------------
It is obvious that whoever wrote this post knows absolutely nothing about team sports and has never taken the time to understand team sports. So only starters benefit from being on the team? Really? How about a non-starter improving himself and earning a starting role on the team? Can't that happen? How about the scout squad - perhaps a thankless job but one that certainly contributes to the team.
Being on any HS sports team is a voluntary endeavor - nobody forcing a kid to be on the team. If the kid or parent don't think there is value in participating quite the team. If junior loves lacrosse so much I'm sure you can find an organization or league that is a good fit for him.
It's your narrow minded thinking that is creating the emotional politics that we all have had to endure. Even if your kid is on the team only to enhance his college application he is getting some benefit isn't he?
Life is competitive whether in academics, the arts, sports, work place, etc. Deal with it or have ur son quit the team.
You are responsible for dragging down a top notch program with your attitude.

Lastly, I am looking forward to you standing up at the podium on Monday night at the Syosset Board meeting and let your views be know in a non-anonymous forum.
Board of Ed meeting this Monday evening (July 11th) at 8 pm, South Woods.

Easy on the best attack in the country stuff. Very good players, maybe above average but hardly anywhere near best in the country. We heard that before this past season too and look at the team's early exit from the playoffs. Most of their points were against wallflower teams during the season but the offense came up short against the best competition. Also, look at the stats during the recent UA tournament where there was another early exit. Plenty of evidence that they are good but not great and not even close to "best in the country".
Will you be singing the same song when your kid is cut? Oh yeah. He's too much of a phenom to even entertain that thought. Did you ask the boys themselves if they would prefer to be cut or to be on the team and not see much playing time? No. You would cry to the Board, make up outrageous stories, and have the coach fired.
Give me a break.
Give me a break.
Syosset Varsity Lacrosse Team should be disbanded...
All the kids can start a Glee Club and sing Kumbayah and clap hands. But we can't have any kids singing harmony - every kid needs to sing the melody (Like we did in Kindergarten) so that nobody gets upset. Then we can give each kid a participation award at the end of the year.
We won't need a coach for that - just a baby sitter.

99% of the problems stem from the parents... The kids all get it.
Anyone who is not happy with the Syosset Lacrosse Program show you solidarity and boycott the program next year. There are plenty of other opportunities for your child to play another sport or to play lacrosse on one of the private clubs on LI (There are many at all different ability levels.)
You will save yourself the nominal '$$ booster booster clubs' which will cover about 2 travel lax practices at the HUB. BTW - we know who you are, the Complainers who stuff their face at the dinners sponsored by the Booster Club and who always seem to forget to pay for the dinner as well as the annual dues. Tell your kids that such behavior is fair as you only pay if they get playing time.
Do us all a favor an take up another sport.

This is true! I had a talk with my All-American son tonight about all the failure he has had in his life. We always supported him and never complained. I asked what made him great. He said that he never accepted failure. He used it as a tool to work harder and prove people wrong, We as parents have to learn when to step back. Don't get me wrong, there were plenty of times i wanted to approach the coach like a gangbuster. Looking back, I am so glad I let my son deal with things himself. Just one parents perspective.

Send out a Survey Monkey that does NOT protect respondent's anonymity. Read their policies. The creator has license to make it anonymous or not. This is the first thing that that the board should know-that the obvious responders will all be supporters because NO CHILD who doesn't agree will engage in the survey. Very slick of you. Great way to ensure a biased opinion. So while you are private about what goes on in the inside circle, you sure want to be public about the people who don't agree.

This is true! I had a talk with my All-American son tonight about all the failure he has had in his life. We always supported him and never complained. I asked what made him great. He said that he never accepted failure. He used it as a tool to work harder and prove people wrong, We as parents have to learn when to step back. Don't get me wrong, there were plenty of times i wanted to approach the coach like a gangbuster. Looking back, I am so glad I let my son deal with things himself. Just one parents perspective.
Wow I got [lacrosse] chills reading this !
Wouldn't it be funny if Cherry winds up at Syosset and Calabria at Manhasset ?

Syosset would get the better deal. Calabria has never won the big prize while Cherry has 2.

All true! In college now!
Wouldn't be interesting to see all of the "Benched" kids at Syosset whose parents are destroying the program start and play every game without the committed players. Those parents would need to spend more money than they do on the booster club for professional counseling when their son's ego's are broken over an 0-16 record with embarrassing lopsided scores. Oh and by committed I mean to the HS program - nothing to do with college lax at all.
Syosset lacrosse is a top 25 program and is a true meritocracy. Best kids play. This is clearly communicated by the coaching staff each year. If your kid works hard and develops the needed skills he will play. This has been proven out many times over the years.
Coaching staff could eliminate 95% of all issues if they had cuts and weeded out the weaker / lazy players.. But, the philosophy of the program has always been that it is about much more than lacrosse wins and losses... It is about developing character in young men, and that each kid on the team can contribute in his own way.
If you or your kid doesn't like the way the team is run LEAVE, there are many other options available. Don't trash a coach who has poured all of his energy and time (at the expense of his family) into a program that he built from scratch and don't negatively impact the other 49 kids who are enjoying their lacrosse experience at Syosset.

Instead of a turf field in Syosset we need a helicopter pad so that the helicopter parents can land, and let their kids build some character.

Why? Because while your kid was playing x box, mine was practicing, not blaming the coach for lack of playing time? I bet you are the complainer in your office, never your fault, right?

R U saying your kid was a Syo AA ?
Any school would be well served to have JC on their coaching staff. JC is a great coach and great person who has endured years of nonsense from a few selfish people. He has had to deal with your lazy kids who are put on a pedestal by over indulgent parents who have no idea what it means to be part of a team.
Pat yourself on the back - you have taught your child a lesson on how to attempt to destroy an entire program! Well done.
Loser

Seems to be a trend as of late. In the last few years the coaches at Smithtown West,SWR,Sayville and now Syosset have lost their jobs. All because of some parents who aren't happy that their kids aren't playing. All of those programs were very successful because those coaches knew how to spot talent and get the most out of their players! It's a sad state of affairs and will just lead us down the road to participation trophies at the varsity level. Sad indeed.
Manhasset too, apparently.
Maybe the schools that tossed their successful coaches want the coaches from the other half of the conferences that lose more than 2/3 of their conference games? If power schools keep tossing their coaches, nobody will take on the job.
As they say-Be careful what you wish for.
As they say-Be careful what you wish for.
You are all missing the point. The public school mission has nothing to do with wins and losses of any particular school team. They only want to make sure the kids are having a good experience and the program is teaching healthy life lessons. Just as importantly, they only care that the teams don't have any behavioral or disciplinary issues. If all of those things are being accomplished, they could care less about what the record is. Only the parents seem to care and then again only at some schools. IF a coach is fired its not because of wins and losses. It's because of a failing in one of the objectives that the administration has for the experience of the boys. In each case of a coach being let go, I'm sure there were instances where issues that had nothing to do with wins and losses began to wear out the coach's support from the AD and rest of the administration.
Sounds like someone that was banking on said favoritism!
anybody looking for a laugh check out the survey some 7th grader put together about Syo HS coach - notice the leading questions and also how the order of the answers always have the desired answer first.
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/braveslax
bottom of the survey has the following
Please attend the Board of Education meeting Monday night 7/11/16 to support allowing Coach Calabria to continue to Coach football and lacrosse in Syosset.
Meeting details and Board member contact info: Syosset Board of Education

So the program needs to be dumbed down so that the district needn't worry about complaining patents...
How does that serve the needs of the student athletes? Why have AP classes? Why gave fine arts classes... Let's stick with baseline across the board!

I know any HS sport team my kids have played on, (and if I count up the years and seasons they have done HS sports), 42 sport seasons so far and counting, never once was the coaches goal NOT to have a winning season, and yes it was at the expense of some kids playing very little time, and some none at all. Football, soccer, volleyball, softball, lacrosse, baseball, basketball. There were kids that participated all the way thru and never saw playing time. This was girls and boys HS sports.
I would ask my son why some kids never would see the field in football/basketball/lacrosse, he said they never stepped up in practices, would miss practices, sometimes late, or not put themselves in rotations.
Sometimes snowflakes don't always tell the truth what is really going on.
This isn't rec sports. HS sports the best players play.
If they were let go it should never be because of playing time.

Thanks Again!!

If you or your kid are not having a good experience with the Syosset HS Lacrosse program please quit the team, there are other alternatives. Look at the Catholic School programs or other private school alternatives. Others have taken this action... Some are now back at Syosset. I wonder why? Why not ask them about their experience.
What is the back story to Cherry being removed? I hate Manhasset, but the guy had a lot of success there for a long time.
P.S. Many Manhasset dads have been working that connection for years with financial support of the "32" club program. Will be interesting to see what happens with that and what kind of return on inverstment they get if/when a new coach is brought in.

The backstory is same as many other coaches who find themselves at the end of their tenure with the inability to write the Hollywood ending. Unfortunately this ending included too many complaints year after year which the board just couldn't ignore.

Complaints that the BoD couldn't ignore? The BoD was voted in to make decisions that are in the best interest of the district. Not bend to the whim of a few whining parents. It happened in Shoreham Wading River, Sayville and now SYO. Completely spineless.

Why, because he speaks the truth.
anybody think that it was odd that the boy wonder board member sends out an e-mail in support of the coach and at the bottom solicits donations? is the donation for his political benefit or the coaches?
also odd that 3 years ago he wrote a letter to the community trying to make HS sports less competitive and more participation, he also tried to differentiate the commitment levels expected of male athletes vs. female athletes - while taking direct shots at the lacrosse program in particular, now that there seems to be a ground swell of support for the HC he is jumping on the band wagon.

Sez the hypocritical ultra liberal. Every district has their own athlete code of conduct and in many instances there is verbiage put in place to prevent this nonsense that school sports are non competitive. On the contrary many districts flat out tell you playing time and team membership is at the sole discretion of the coach and don't bother complaining.
20-30% of parents will hate every coach no matter what. Playing time, discipline, personality, you name it. If a few of them are really vocal and have BOE connections, this is what can happen. Doesn't matter if a majority of the team and parents love the coach, the vocal minority usually prevail.
Does anyone know if there was a common theme to the complaints which led to the removal of the coaches at SWR, Sayville, Syosset and Manhasset? There have been many posts claiming that in each case a small number of parents complained. Was there conflict of interest with pay to play summer programs? Were the coaches abusing their power for personal profit? Was there bullying? Was there conduct unbecoming? Was it years of little complaints? Was there one major incident in each case that caused such problems?
It is hard to believe that a few disgruntled parents can have such an impact if there are no real problems.

High School sports should instill in a young adult the notion that life isn't fair, no one hands you ANYTHING, if you want something (starting on varsity for instance) you have to work harder than the next guy for that spot. Bottomline, varsity sports teaches kids about LIFE. I wanted to be the President of my firm. I scratched and clawed worked my tail off to get the job, it didn't happen...so I started my own firm and achieve the level of success I strove for. Its always natural selection, kids need to learn that as early as possible to be successful in life and varsity sports is a great environment to learn that. SWR, Sayville, SYO---lame. Coaches are too driven for success? We creating a generation of dependent children with no drive.
Who's the new coach at farmingdale? Taking over for a legend. Tough spot.
I am hearing two things being said here about coaches and effort.
1. Coaches: their job is to Coach and do the best they can to win!!!! Yes they need to be a good example and help mould the young men they coach. Yet I believe too many parents put the responsibility of raising their kids on other people. If a kid who plays lacrosse does something wrong it's not the coaches fault it's bad parenting. Yes I said it. Kids do make bad decisions but to blame coaches for everything a kid does while in season is ridiculous and simply just passing the buck. Parents take responsibility for your kids. Being a coach is a thankless job and really a no win situation in this day and age with all these helicopter parents. Who in their right mind would want to subject themselves to the lunatics that peruse the sidelines of high school games waiting for a coach to be human and make a mistake. That's what it has come down to.
2. Effort: working your tail off always doesn't mean you are going to be good. Parents are always on here saying how hard their kid works and he deserves to play. Well again I am sorry to point out that's not the case. There also needs to be some talent and athletic ability with work ethic for a kid to be good. The problem is too many parents have been duped by club coaches to believe their kid is better than they actually are. As a result they pay for private training and expect their kid to start because they start on their club team. That's pay to play. This is true for the watered down club team world we now live in. If your kid isn't better than the kid starting it's ok. It's life. If their work effort is there it will translate over to the classroom and the workforce. Just please don't say because they work hard they should start, it's not real world. The better kid starts plain and simple.

---------------------
The point is that a program that has 50 kids is being negatively impacted because of 2~3 disgruntled people. That is not fair. Playing on a HS Team is not compulsory - it is a voluntary extra curricular activity. The point is that if the program does not work for you or your kid, but works for 95% of the kids, don't try to hurt the whole program. Find another viable option.

On this forum I am reading how Syo parents that complain are expecting a handout, or that they complain when their kids aren't that good after all and how they expect to be put forward when it's not deserved. The opponents of the board's decision assume that this action generated from these so-called complainers. What they fail to acknowledge and discuss are the very real issues that have been the catalyst for this. Some of these harsh critics of the opponents are themselves the very architects of a "pay to play" culture and position themselves to be very close to coaches to ensure the starting positions of their sons. They may be afraid that all the time spent schmoozing may be for nothing if coach is gone.
Okay, HS sports are NOT about teaching young men and women about how HAD life is. HS sports are about participation, teamwork and commitment. It gives the student participating a sense of being part of a team, and learning to work in a team environment. It gives the student body something to come out and cheer. Did any of you who post on here play any high school sports? A coach will determine who will start/play. Not every kid will start. Not every kid will make the team. Some coaches make sure that Seniors start or play significantly. Some don't. Based on a lot of statements I read on here, the vast majority of you did not play either in HS or college.

Well said and spot on.
On this forum I am reading how Syo parents that complain are expecting a handout, or that they complain when their kids aren't that good after all and how they expect to be put forward when it's not deserved. The opponents of the board's decision assume that this action generated from these so-called complainers. What they fail to acknowledge and discuss are the very real issues that have been the catalyst for this. Some of these harsh critics of the opponents are themselves the very architects of a "pay to play" culture and position themselves to be very close to coaches to ensure the starting positions of their sons. They may be afraid that all the time spent schmoozing may be for nothing if coach is gone.
++++++++++++++++++++++
So Mr. Insider....
What are these very real issues you mention? Enlighten all of us?
Please give factual specifics... Not false rumors and half truths.
Sorry, I mean Mrs. Insider....
What I find absolutely disgusting and offensive about your comment is that you diminish the dedication and hard work these teenage boys put in all year long to a pay for play scheme. Are you saying the kids who started didn't deserve it? You should be ashamed of yourself!! Most of those boys...the ones who want to take their sport to the next level, sacrifice a lot of time practicing during, after, before and in between seasons and practices to make themselves better. And the boys who are not doing this should not be surprised when their number isn't called! What you and most of your ilk fail to realize is that playing time is a REWARD for hard work!! (just like at work. You don't get a promotion or raise for just showing up)
So, if we use your "theory", then the families of the boys who got college commitments must have paid off those college coaches too, as you probably believe they don't deserve that either! Please grow up and face reality!
So, if we use your "theory", then the families of the boys who got college commitments must have paid off those college coaches too, as you probably believe they don't deserve that either! Please grow up and face reality!
Really unbelievable that commenters will say dumb comments like "Mr or Mrs Insider" or insinuate that other commenters intimate that kids didn't earn their spots. In the end, all the kids are victims here. You refuse to really understand the issue and then you come back with volatile comments that add fuel to this fire. The truth is the truth-maybe you "should all be men" and "take your hits." Maybe you need a coach to teach you that. Also ironic that board member is so pro-lacrosse. Does anyone remember just a few years ago he felt varsity sports were too demanding? But the athletic population is an untapped voting gold mine isn't it?

More like gibberish.
Still not sure what the "truth is the truth" means in Syosset.
But here are some verifiable truths:
1) Head coach and his coaching staff have spent 18 years building a top notch program.
2) Program philosophy is about much more than wins / losses, it is about developing character in young men. This is evidenced in part by the no-cut policy.
3) There is overwhelming support for the Syo Coaching Staff among current and past student athletes, current and past parents as well as others in the community. There was a packed auditorium for the BM last night.
These are Truths. Students and Parents spoke publicly at the Board Meeting about positive impact coaching staff has had on them.
If there was any real issue with the head coach in which the School Board (or their lawyers) thought that the student athletes were put is a bad situation he would never have been reinstated after being suspended pending investigation during the season.
Agree that all the students are being negatively impacted over this situation. But by whom? A few people who have an issue with the head coach? The AD? The School Administration? The School Board?

There were two college coaches coaching each team. Maybe one other watching on the sidelines. Each team had three goalies who stayed on an assigned field while teams rotated. Don't attend if your son is a goalie - not much game time.

If he plays for a top HS team expect 15 - 18% if he plays for a top club team he can expect 25% - figure another 5% for each inch over 6' tall and another 3% for each tenth of a second he runs under a 4.8 forty - so a 6' 3" LSM from WM who runs a 4.4 forty and plays for 91 extreme or turtles should be getting close to a full ride - I heard all this at 31 flavors the other day

I agree completely. Those with specific knowledge of what is happening inside the program should cite specific examples of wrongdoing so the rest of us can form our opinions based on the facts.
Otherwise people are just going to opine based on their own circumstances. Someone who has a son who is a starter on this or any team is going to side with the coach and feel that he should have the autonomy to run his team how he sees fit. Someone whose son is not a starter but feels should be is going to side with those who feel that the coach has some ulterior motive, whether it is a club conflict of interest or private lesson bribery or good old fashion parent [lacrosse] kissing.
Some actual facts would help a lot.

I agree with you about not getting fired because of playing time decisions, but what happens is the parents of the kids not getting playing time are the ones who find other things to complain about and while no one complaint will get a coach fired it is the culmination of the constant nagging that perhaps make the school district look to make a change. I doubt many coaches can stand up to the scrutiny of everything they say and do being reported on them.
you can do the math. D1 lax gets 12.6 scholarships. teams carry 40-50 players. some kids get more and some get none.

I am not sure if the current situation in Syo w/ JC is about playing time, complaining parents or a BOE that just wants to start fresh w/ a new coach. We players and parents are also aware that we have not been given all the info and probably never will be. I do know this. My son is not a starter on SYO and he will probably not be an "impact" player this coming year but he does contribute. The reason he is not a starter is not b/c of any bias from JC, it is b/c he is either
a. not good enough to start
b. not working hard enough in practice
the point is both this non starter parent and the non starter himself still support JC as the coach b/c in Syo it about more than starting and wins/losses. If you are part of the program you would know what I am talking about. Sure it is great if you start and get significant playing time but my son does contribute both in games and in practice.

Does anyone have a list of college coaches that will be at Hofstra Warrior this coming weekend, or know where a list is posted?

There weren't many there last year. In addition, it was very poorly run and scheduled. The majority of the coaches will be at the NXT Invatational in Philly at Stony Brook this weekend.
This US U19 tournament has got to be the silliest thing I've ever seen! Just painful to hear about! Surprised other countries would even be interested in participating. US players pounding their Chests at what? Sad part is that it's payed for by dues paid to an inept organization.

The backstory is same as many other coaches who find themselves at the end of their tenure with the inability to write the Hollywood ending. Unfortunately this ending included too many complaints year after year which the board just couldn't ignore.
Complaints that the BoD couldn't ignore? The BoD was voted in to make decisions that are in the best interest of the district. Not bend to the whim of a few whining parents. It happened in Shoreham Wading River, Sayville and now SYO. Completely spineless.
The BoD made a decision that was in the best interest for the current and future student athletes. One that involved a popular resident and employee of the distinct, I'm sure no one involved took it lightly.
High School sports should instill in a young adult the notion that life isn't fair, no one hands you ANYTHING, if you want something (starting on varsity for instance) you have to work harder than the next guy for that spot. Bottomline, varsity sports teaches kids about LIFE. I wanted to be the President of my firm. I scratched and clawed worked my tail off to get the job, it didn't happen...so I started my own firm and achieve the level of success I strove for. Its always natural selection, kids need to learn that as early as possible to be successful in life and varsity sports is a great environment to learn that. SWR, Sayville, SYO---lame. Coaches are too driven for success? We creating a generation of dependent children with no drive.
Let's give this a rest, I don't have anything positive or negative about JC..
Is he fair.. sometimes.
Is he tough on the players...sometimes
Is he ________ ... sometimes.
That's coaching, the only comment I have is that when he told me that "it was out of anyone's control" when asked about a specific player.
Is the action of the board just, that is what we need to find out. They (the board) should at least provide some details as to why so that, we as parents know why this is happening and stop assuming that other parents on the team are at fault. SYO parents are great at blaming and isolating other parents and players without knowing the entire background. SYO parents should band together in support of their players, each other and the coach and demand of the board more specifics of why this happened and not ASSume!
As for JL, he is a politician, he will lean towards what is the majority so that he can continue to be re-elected.

Good post, particularly about boy wonder on the board - full 180 from his position 3 years ago basically wanting to disband competitive sports. I think the BoE is in a tough situation, they know more then we ever will and because of privacy laws they can not tell us the "real" reason, just or unjust that led to their initial decision. People need to realize that lacrosse is a huge part of our and our kid's lives but a minor part of the school system and it has taken up a huge amount of time and resources the past three years. I hope everybody involved is worrying about all the kids best interest and not just their own.
The Manhasset decision is even more incredible than Syosset given the Manhasset coach had won 2 state championsships witnin the past decade.
agreed..like all high school sports these days..the parents are "the characters" there is very little character..

Just like SWR, Sayville, Manhasset, etc the BoD hides behind privacy laws. They can not be held accountable for their actions nor are they forced to explain their decisions. We've seen this happen over and over; vote in reasonable Board members, its the only answer.

really? hide behind the law that forbids the school board from disclosing personal information about employees? and your solution is to vote in reasonable board members that will disclose personal information? maybe the board of ed would rather spend it's time on the education and needs of the over 99% of the students that do not play varsity lacrosse. things like building maintenance, personnel, security ect. this is just lacrosse.
They are held accountable for their actions every three years when they run for election to make these decisions.
Thanks for the advice Josh!

That was my point. Vote in Board members who are aligned with your/our beliefs and values. That is the only way to hold them accountable...vote them out and your guy in.
Gets my vote.
Only one of them that will take a public stand.

Read that letter carefully, especially the last sentence. It may not be as supportive as you think.
This is the same guy who was taking a public stand against competitive HS sports in favor of a HS sports program focusing more on participation a few years back.
At the end of the day the guy is a politician.

If you really want to post and defend the Manhasset coach, get some information first. Anyone who knows what went on understands why they needed to replace him. He made some really bad decisions surrounding two of his sons.

By the way JL stands for Josh lafazan and JC for John Calabria, I am not sure the need to use initials for public figures.
NILCA event is a horror!!!! Wast of time and money. If your kid is planning to go to community college it was the place to be. Said there would be 40 coaches more like 12.
Yup. New letter. Very clear.
They said 40 were signed up and it sounds like 1/2 of them showed and mostly D3

By the way JL stands for Josh lafazan and JC for John Calabria, I am not sure the need to use initials for public figures.

High School Boys team is 2-2 and has made it to the quarter finals. They beat New England and Pennsylvania lost to Illinois and Carolina by 1. Will be playing Ohio in the 1st game of the quarters. Good luck to all the boys.

mostly community colleges. It was a really bad event. There were no D3 schools of significance. Lower end event. Kids were laughing about how bad it was.
not sure what that means...was the lacrosse bad or just the number and type of colleges watching?

Lacrosse was fine. Kids had fun. It was a pure money grab. 12 coaches showed not the 40 that were promised. The 12 were not from any of the top D1 programs and none from the top D3 programs. Most from community colleges. Best part was a certain Coach kept his team on the turf for all 3 games. Guess which field the coaches were on? You got it the turf. So if there was a school a player was so interested in they may have had only 1 chance to play in front of the 12 that were there.
Seems the High School Boys did a great job at the Brine event. Congratulations on winning the event. Way to represent Long Island boys. Now beat the Canadians in the Brogdan Cup.

How come nobody has complained about the Brine National try-out process? Was it run in a fair manner?

Congrats to the High School boys and also the 2020 and 22/23 winners. Long Island took 3 of the 4 boys divisions.

Because like someone said the connected players didn't come to tryout. The numbers were the lowest in a long time. As a result players made team on tryout performance not reputation and or coaches favoritism. It was a great mix of players that played together as a team not as individuals. It's been 3 years since a Long Island High School team has won it. Great job!!!
As for those who keep saying no one cares, then why are you on here posting that. Are you gaining anything or are you just jealous because your kids team didn't make it or win it. I feel bad for you trying to knock others accomplishments because of your inferiority complex. Loser!!!!

It's interesting you say that. I think the all high and mighty Long Island lacrosse snobs are disenchanted with it. It's good enough when they are in 8th grade and they brag about it and it's the greatest thing in the world. There were coaches at the event not that many but there were a fair amount. I do think this had been the norm at all Showcase events across the board. If your kid makes the all star game or finals you see more coaches. As a whole album these events have had a drop off in coaches attending. Yet for the boys it was a great event and a memory they will share it as a team for a long timemail.

I'm connected, so obviously my kid is connected too.
Just how much connection are we talking here? Do you mean lego lock connected or are we talking gorilla glue connected?
I know a guy (and his son) are duct tape connected that should count for something, right?
I also know connected kids that choose to not show the connections and still attend (and earn) spots on teams. I'd call them spiritually connected (to the creator's game).
What if someone is not connected enough? Should their son attend the tryout or wait (and hope) that one of the more sticky connected kids has something better to do so a spot opens up? That's more like gum on the bottom of your shoe connected.
So when are these tryouts?

Who would be brave enough to say they were part of the connected group. I doubt many would brag that they were part of that group. You know the ones who's daddies buy helmets or offer services for their kids playing on a club team. I am so glad that the club coaches didnt get their hooks into the selection process. It resulted in a great group of talented hard working young men playing together as a team.

Dude - I try and be humorous in my posts and have on occasion made two opposing posts on the same subject just to stir it up, and I think of myself as pretty funny in a snarky flid kind of way but my goodness, this is the funniest thing I have ever read on BOTC and I am now trying to figure out my own category!!!! I think I am gum on the sole of my shoes connected. I would like everybody posting from now on the categorize there own connectivity.
Guys enough of the BS. Let's congratulate a great group of players. They beat who was in front of them and won the title. Congratulations and great job.
Please stop, now you made me say something, bottom line half the kids on team are not starting on their HS team.

You are such a tool. Loser. Infallible omnipotent asshat. Guess your kid is the best player around. Maybe if he were there the team might have been better off. Not!!! Team played as a team not as individuals and as a result won. Was the right mix of players. Guess they were good enough to beat teams loaded with committed players and Under Armour players and Maverick players. Go kick your dog and yell at your kid.

You must really care to take the time and look up roster and see who plays where and if they start or not at their High School. Lol. Must really bother you they won without your kid. Feel sorry for you. Can't you just be happy for the Long Island kids.
My kid is going D1, and I am honest of my kids talent. I feel sorry for you

It's a weak tournament, you could just as easily brag about winning any C level tourney. Bottom line. maybe fun with a big price tag, nothing else. Poster is right that none of the top recruits bother with this, and nobody should have come on here bragging about the win. It is not a prestigious event, hence the comments.

Don't think anyone came on here bragging just congratulating. Others took it a bit to far and make comments about the kids. Can't Long Island just bring happy for the boys.

To clarify, the Long Island boys won the Brine championship in 2014. However the final game that summer between LI and MD was canceled due to storms and the championship game was played in January 2015 down at Tampa prior to Brogden Cup playoffs. The LI boys also won the cup vs. Canada in 2015. Brine is a very fun event for the kids.

Good clear post. Again congratulations to the boys who played down at Brine. cant we just be happy that the boys teams took 3 of 4 divisions down there.
I'd be interested to hear the ranking of the top club teams on Long Island with regards to HS players (10-11th grade). I know there are many variables, so am interested in helping with recruiting, quality of tournaments, reputation of directors, communication with parents etc. I have a 9th grader and am considering looking for a new club team and would love to hear other people's experiences.

Here's my two cents. If your son is looking to play at the next level, you really only have a few choices. You need a club that has a track record of college recruiting success. 80+11 top team, you'll never get on unless you have a hook. Same for that team that is basically a Catholic HS travel team. I think Outlaws offer a great opportunity. 2016 teams had nearly 35 kids get recruited. 2017 up to 25+ and 2018 has 7 D1 with many more commitments pending. Some may bash this club, but the recruiting results cannot be disputed.
Roll Tide only way to go KK is the best, and we have plenty of commits. Price is right.

Don't let those numbers fool you. My son was on the 2016 team and they did nothing to help him get recruited he did it himself but they still put his name on there LIST as if they did something. PB is a JOKE

Outlaws 2020 teams struggled again this year. I'd avoid that age group there.
I was looking at the offerings they have for their teams and I don't get how they take 28-30 kids and then take only 22 to a tourney. how do you get kids to gel and play as a team when you have different kids at each tourney. Especially for $2500. it seems they are hoping that their college recruit numbers and the ever changing directors will attract players. Anyone can pay someone to sit on their board but that doesn't make them a great place to go.

Outlaws do not carry more kids than they take to their tournaments. They carry around 24 and take 24. A few years ago they tried that on one of my sons teams and it didnt work too well. I believe all directors have stayed the same they have just added some new ones (Port Coach and Brentwood Coach)
Interesting to see what the new positions of player development do for the kids.
Heard good and bad about the Sting? fl$?
you get the skull and cross bones bumper sticker though... its cool.

that's funny, yesterday I was on their site and they had for the 2019 team that they would be carrying 28-30 and taking 22 to each tourney and on other years they had up to 26. I guess they realized that was going to be a problem.

And this the problem with parents. D1 2 3 , only one hung up on that are parents. Find best match for your kid , where they can get the best education. Don't worry about what division they are.
Both good if looking at NESCAC schools [/quote]
You don't really think that Tufts or Amherst or Wesleyan wouldn't beat a Marist or a Manhattan or any other team other than the top 15?

So sorry things didn't workout for you. Mines committed to a top 25 D1. With an awesome scholarship. BTW, I went to a D2 school, life and career worked out very well for me. The jealousy and venom you have towards successful players and the club they play for is palpable through the computer screen. I feel you, I really do. Good luck to your son.
fl$ is great at '20 if you want to hang with manhasset "lacrosse is our divine right group", GC "is better than everyone else" or CSH "stuck ups"... Good team but you really want to deal with that...

He/she is implying that For the Love of the Green is full of stuck up parents......
Organization is changing with expansion into Suffolk. Their credo was always "one team per grade" which is clearly now out the window.
They still only do one team per grade in Nassau, how is this club, any info would be great.

It is expensive and the 2020 team was made up of most, if not all north shore kids.

Of course the LIE, 91, Outlaws and every other club team aren't doing it for the "Green", it's to shape the minds and bodies of young athletes LOL!!!

The one team used to be Nassau/ Suffolk combined. Now it's become two teams per age group on Long Island.
As a parent I would personally steer clear of [****]. They have always been about the teams well being and the progress of their teams. Lately that has begun to change as they are starting to worry more about the product of their tourneys, prospect days, showcases, etc... I would have leaned towards choosing them because the director (originator not current) does sincerely care about each and every player that plays for the program. Unfortunately things change.
Cromwell to coach Manhasset
Great pickup.
Why do parents come on to this forum to criticize accomplishments of children? Fact is that Brine DID have D1, D2 & D3 coaches. Fact is that there were talented kids from Long Island and other states. Fact is that the kids had fun. Isn't this enough? We should be happy when our kids do well and encourage them and support them to do better.
And NO! This is not a parent whose child is a B or C level player. He's very talented player and I would NEVER criticize someone else's child just because they aren't as talented. I would support them and help them to get better. Shame on you!

Don't you love this over critical never played a sport over LL baseball who come on here to be moronic creeps?

Agreed, Because when they started it was all about the kids. People get older and become absentee owners. I say owners because they still get paid. They then Hand it over to their sons and all of a sudden it becomes more of a business and all about the money. The product they had 5 years ago is not the same as what they have today. They have reputation that gets many kids but they also make sure the kids get all the latest greatest stuff to wear around. Parents pay for it and you know you can never say no to your kid. Then there is the committed team they parade around.

What wrong with the Comitted Team? Anything wrong with those kids working hard to improve their game?
Not working hard to better their game at all. Another money maker. Play 3 tournies 30 kids on team. No practices maybe one just before a tourney. Not much playing time because of numbers and they do not play well as a team.
A lot of talent but you would never know it.

LOL..... So you know how often the LIE 2017 Committed Team practices? Really? And you know how many kids participate? Your ignorance is amusing. Bottom line is they don't get up early on weekends or meet on weekday nights to get accolades, as there is not very much attention placed on 2017s at this point. College Coaches are looking at 2019s and 2020s... These kids practice to prepare themselves to play lacrosse at the college level.
When little Johnny gets passed over on his college team and a younger kid gets more PT, you can explain to him that he should have practiced more after being committed instead of cruising along and playing x-box.

You have no clue what your talking about. 2017 LIE Committed team was never 30 kids. the practices had nothing to do with LIE either. The tournies mean NOTHING along with there being NOTHING to learn in those. These kids are all committed along with playing high level events individually. I can assure you, the bulk of these kids work HARD on their game all year long (with or WITHOUT the LIE name).

The one team used to be Nassau/ Suffolk combined. Now it's become two teams per age group on Long Island.
As a parent I would personally steer clear of [****]. They have always been about the teams well being and the progress of their teams. Lately that has begun to change as they are starting to worry more about the product of their tourneys, prospect days, showcases, etc... I would have leaned towards choosing them because the director (originator not current) does sincerely care about each and every player that plays for the program. Unfortunately things change.
This has been my impression as well from a purely outsiders point of view (which is clearly incomplete). My kid plays elsewhere.
I look it up they did pretty good in the last tournament they played in.

Nice to see other people see the same thing. We left the program two years ago. It was a different program when things changed. Reputation alone will not help you last! other programs have invaded and are doing the same things with gear, training, etc...
how do you know this was a "mom"? you clearly have a male ego problem.
Good luck to you loser.

Anyone know when the seeding meetings are ? Also what will the new divisions look like ? I've heard many different potential break downs for Suffolk but don't know how it falls out.

We should be happy when our kids do well and encourage them and support them to do better.
And NO! This is not a parent whose child is a B or C level player. He's very talented player and I would NEVER criticize someone else's child just because they aren't as talented. I would support them and help them to get better. Shame on you!

I think what many are posting and thinking is that Brine is no longer worth the 7 hour drive down during a period when there are far superior (IMO) showcase events being held. Can't critique the "fun" factor. My son thoroughly enjoyed the event the prior two years but we felt our younger guy had to prioritize and the club schedule didn't allow for participation. Its a fantastic area of the country, in fact my older son ranked the local university as his #1 choice after driving through the campus and seeing the facilities.
