What I can say this season showed coaching really matters. It proved itself across all teams from game one to the end. Although the Massapequa Ward Melville game was a sexy billing, it was not a game of the two best teams. Smithtown West for the second year in a row was, over-coached, restrained and sent packing to early. Ward Melville had a good first half in the Suffolk Championship but there was no way they should have been allowed back into that game. Coach, even if you have a 10 goal lead, you should emphasize matching goal for goal in tournament play especially with a dominate Fogo..

This is the second year in a row where your stalling tactic bit you in the butt. Credit to WM's pole #36 but with such a dominate Fogo you play to score. Look at the young coaches at Manhasset and even Smithtown East. Either of those two coaches would have had those West players ready and humming for 4 quarters.

But, that's why you play the games and I am a true believer that the best team doesn't always win. Congratulations to both Ward Meville and Massapequa. MASSAPEQUA, DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE AS SMITHTOWN and KEEP THE PEDAL DOWN.



Sorry....SW not that good. That's why they lost. They had a few good moments this year, but couldn't perform when they needed too. Typical dodos blame the coach instead of their kid who choked when it mattered!


Obviously you didnt see them play this year or you are blinded by the old rose colored glasses and that's okay. They lost, yes, and that is why they play the games, but if you saw them the last few years you will see a pattern.
