How about those All-American Awards! Strange that you can be on All-LI, but not be an All-American? Great job Newsday!
How can you not be selected for All-county but be selected to All-long island.
All-County is given out/selected by your daughters HS Coach, how your daughter Team finished the season will determine how many selections / nominations your daughters coach gets.
All-Long Island is given out / selected by Newsday.
Lacrosse is not wrestling, tennis or track, these awards are all subjective. These Awards are not solely based on perceived player performance. Opinion and politics also play a role in all of the honors.
Which makes the Newsday award that much more dubious. If your own coach doesn’t think a player is An All-county player how does Newsday come to conclusion that same player is All-long island player. Appears that if your team didn’t make playoffs you weren’t selected by Newsday. But that’s LI Lax politics. Been that way a long time.
First time I’ve ever seen a complaint lead to a change in the list. What the heck is going on?? Who complained? What is their tie to Newsday? And Newsday wonders why nobody reads their paper anymore. Unbelievable!
