Pequa has a history of tremendous goalies dating back to Draper. Doc Schneider-UMASS, his younger brother Eric was named Academic All American now captain of Hopkins, then Russo, Valdini was phenomenal in goal last season and the current senior keeper (injured) is signed. MHS has talent in the cage down to the MS all working and all proud to be Chiefs.

where did Valdini end up? he had a fantastic senior year in the cage

So who will between the pipes this year?

Dear Mr. Pequa - please tone it down a notch, It took Ward Melville, Garden City and Manhasset over 50 years of "Powerhouse" lacrosse for everybody to hate them, Massapequa has had an OK run the last 10 to 15 years and you act as if you are "the Inventors" you are an OK team in an a weak conference, get over yourselves

That's only for football. For lax, the only field they care about, no corners cut.

Silly list - IMHO I would have Smithtown East - Lynbrrok and Ward Melville all on that list over Massapequa unless this is a 2019 poll -

Isnt there a 2019 holdback Goalie going to Chaminade from 'pequa

I believe that there are 2 2018 goalies from Massapequa headed to Chaminade. One is there this year as a true 2018 and the other is repeating and will be a 2019.

That is the question. They may have to pull up a keeper.

Get off the topic of these two goalies. Move on.

I would also put Roslyn and Great Neck on the top list as well.

Mr. I thought I moved to a good school district but realized now that my son is trying to play lacrosse, I did not:

All I said was MHS has talent and that there is talent coming up. Powerhouse is used because:

#1-STATE CHAMPS, not by luck, so do not even go there
#2-The boys who can really play the game of lacrosse in Massapequa are on the top club teams, especially the younger players. However, it takes all levels of our talent working together which makes us a powerhouse. We love all of our players, the great and mighty, the meeker and bold. They all really work hard and really work well together.

So yes, Powerhouse is what 'Pequa is now and what we will strive to remain.

We are now dimming the lights on GC, Manhasset, WM.

Looking forward to the season beginning soon. Wishing all of our competitors well.

Sad that some people cannot be happy for another HS.
There is nothing to "get over ourselves" for.
Obviously, you have not been reading the posts.
MHS parents are proud of our players, at all levels.
We are sure happy to have JV and MS players primed and ready to play for their perspective teams and even happier to know they are really great lacrosse players, on top tier club teams, who are training to be the best Varsity players for MHS no matter when they are called upon.

Nothing was said in bad taste about another HS team.
Players were not singled out.
No where, in these the last few pages, has the tone been anything but upbeat and pleasant about facing competition in the 2015 season.

Looking forward to it. Wishing everyone well.

So, you, Mr. Coulda Shoulda Woulda get over yourself.

how does pequa stack up historically in the conference they are in? Are they considered the best program? Titles ect.?

Farmingdale by a wide margin has the best history in Nassau class A.

The best program has traditionally been Farmingdale - not even close. But since they won the state title in 2011 the program has been mediocre for whatever reason. Just look at the history - Massapequa is good, Syosset ok.

Farmingdales youth teams are very poorly ran and fractured at best. Good talent but none of them play for F'dale anymore and it shows in the MS HS levels.

Can we please start a middle school thread for all this nonsense?

Yes you can. Simply register and create a thread of your choice.

Pequa and Farmingdale middle has a total of 18 d1 comitts. Clearmy better players

.
03/26/14 CHIEFS at Chaminade L 4 – 7
03/29/14 chiefs at Garden City L 5 – 6 3OT

totally agree with this assessment, Last 10 years
Massapequa 4 county champs, 1 Long Island champ and 1 State Champ
Syosset 3 county champs, 1 Long Island champ and 1 State runnerup
Farmingdale 2 County Champs, 1 Long Island and 1 State
Hicksville 1 Count Champ

All good but clearly no powerhouses among them

They may lose both games but nobody is holding that offense to 4 or 5 goals unless they stall - they have a crazy amount of talent on the offensive side of the field and if they let the dogs out they should average 10 - 12 goals a game

Yes, thank goodness for the Chiefs.

Be honest Garden city got. Very lucky . Sunny day mass would have kill them

If Massapequa is or was that good then why would GC have needed luck? Shouldn't Massapequa have blown them out? Or at least won comfortably?

Please stop now. Painful to read. It's a new year- let's see what shakes out. Don't emabarrass your team...

Please explain how the weather adversely effected one team and not the other? a better argument might be that Massapequa jelled later in the year and in May they probably would have beaten GC. The Cheifs started the season 2-2 averaging a 8.75 goals per game - they then won their next 17 straight averaging 14.5 goals a game. and averaged 16.5 goals per game in the playoffs.

GC beats Syo 6-3 on 3/18 and Mass 6-5 a week later so based on that you would think Mass v. Syo would be a good game and it probably would have been a closer game in March but once the Chiefs went on their roll the beat Syosset by 9 and 7.

good points on this post. pequa was , at least last year a far better team. they could score in bunches. the other team averaged , I think 4 or 5 goals a game. that's counting several very lopsided high scoring games.

luck had nothing to do with the Massapequa coach called a time out in overtime when his 50 goal scorer had the ball on the crease -

I am from pequa and watched them play a couple of games. I dont have any boys on the team as my kids are younger. I will tell you. I saw them play farmingdale last year and they won a very close but boring game where they went iso all the time and slowed the game down a lot. Fast forward a few wks later. Dont know what happened or what coach said but saw them play i guess their 2nd game against syosset and they won like 18 to 5. Completely diff team with tempo and how they moved and pushed the ball. Didnt look back since. Yes they went on a tear after. Dont think there was a team in the land that could have beat them imcluding boys latin. Sorry SE.

Pequa lost a lot to graduation. Who are going to be the starters for Pequa this year by position?

Mickey Mousr, Donald Duck, and Pluto on Attack
Larry, Mo, and Curley om Midfield
The father, son, and holy ghost on defense
goalie= santa clause

Very physical defense. Saw them play since 3rd grade. I believe they are all committed to play at the next level.

Enough about Massapequa...last year was their year...Decent lacrosse players this year but short on athletes--just look at their football, basketball, soccer and wrestling seasons. Syosset's year this year.

Edited for the anti semetic undertone.

You're right I heard they are putting the quarterback in goal.
