What most people don't get is Garden City is consistently good because of the youth and middle school teams, They want to produce good players, not just one or two. Don't scream at there 4th and 5th grade girls and kick buckets of balls over when they make mistakes. They teach all there kids , not just there own. Every school system should take notice of this , but some how they don't. In G.C. there is nothing special in the water, and no magic pill, they all work together and it shows.

I think what the goalie did was a smart, and athletic move/decision,not just that play but throughout the whole game she was smart in what she did. Goalies are not just made to sit in the cage anymore. Its a new style of play to have goalies come out, almost as a 5th defender. It truly showed her athletic abilities running out and intercepting passes, and quite frankly if you don't like the style of play stop watching lacrosse because theres a goalie revolution!

Yes it was a good play who cares about the 8 meter shot there was .6 seconds left. In essence Hills wasn't going to win anyways and you cant go back and change what she did, anyway Sachem won the game is over.

I cant believe your saying East is "doing better than expected" do you mean you expected them to lose to 4 of the worst teams in suffolk, they have played nobody except W.I. who they lost too

So your saying its ok to hurt a girl so long as you win? Yon need help

East is 8-1 overall now. They should have and could have beat West Islip but they didn't come out and play like they can and should have. No that's not an excuse, but every team has those days. As for winning to 4 of the worst teams in Suffolk, yes they have had a somewhat easy schedule so far by playing brentwood, copiague and walt whitman. But William Floyd is usually one of the elite teams. Miller Place, there first non-league game, is not too shabby of a team. Comsewogue, there second non-league game, is not a bad team as well. They just recently beat Half Hollow Hills who is a good team and this past weekend they beat Sachem North one of there biggest rivals. Sachem East is stepping up and becoming one of those powerhouses slowly but surely. Whether or not they played some mediocre teams, the powerhouses like Ward Melville have played mediocre teams as well. As for the 8th grader, she is an awesome player and deserves to be on that team and I can say so myself because I am one of her teammates. As for the goalie, she is a phenomenal goalie and deserves to be in the cage as well. Whether there close with the A.D or the coach, there talent surpasses the politics that may be going on in Sachem.

Guess the ridiculous bickering will never end.............

ESM vs SWR. Good game? Anyone see it?

What most people tend to think is that GC is consistently good because they get taught by the YJ's. But I agree with you. I think it is the other way around, where GC trains, and developes many skilled girls and YJ's or other clubs are lucky to get them.

Some one please clarify this for a ignorant guy (me)... all these girls are "playing lacrosse " at these schools or are they attending these schools?? I noticed 2 goalies from the same high school are committed to play D-1?? there couldn't have been enough playing time for both of them in High school so I will assume that the recruiting looks came from there club team

Every team has one of those days, when they play a better team.

Wrong, although you's like to think so. The GC youth program is parent coached. The best players in 6,7,8 grade play for the club teams which is where they learn the game. If these players did not play Club Lax and relied on the GC parent coaches they would be nowhere.

The goalie stepped out of the cage to try and intercept that pass. She did not go out and do it on purpose to hurt the Hills girl. She does in practice as well, she's not a dirty player she's just an athletic player. She users her athleticism to help out the defense, it's being smart. The girl may have fallen down, but she was fine afterwards. The attacker could have fallen and gotten hurt if it was a defender going at her instead of the goalie. The goalie was just doing her job.

Your opening your mouth but do you even know anything about the Sachem East program or did you even watch the game? It was quite obvious that East was the better team that day they just lost their groove just like many teams do. It happens, you can't expect teams to be perfect every single game everyone has there off days. Hopefully East gets the chance to play West Islip in the playoffs to prove to people like you who like to run their mouths what they're really made of. I really hope that your a kid on a high school team and not a parent because if you are, shame on you. East is a good program this year and can compete, so be ready.

Sachem East is weak, they beat Sachem North, wow. and when was Floyd considered a power house. you lost to west Islip, everyone is beating west islip. you will not beat ward melville, bayshore, east islip, northport, west baylon, but you beat hills who is probably better than you, your probably an 8 or 9 seed. good luck to you.

Highlights

Two big results and great games on today's docket.

Yuna Hur scored two of her three goals in the second half, including one with 6:14 left to give Ward Melville (6-0) the win over a key conference rival in Division I. Northport takes their second loss of the season in conference play.

Corinne Donohue scored with five seconds left in the first OT period to put Sachem East (6-1) ahead in Division I. Sophomore Katie Trombetta scored a career-high nine goals and added an assist and Jackie Wasilko had five goals.

what happened today Super goalie got out played by a back up , so lets here your lame excuses, really good goalies are consistent , your going to get shelled against bay Shore, you can't play the top teams

Ward Melville over Northport, 11-9
thats 2 losses for Port half way thru, have nothing this year, dynasty is over. I guess past post was correct, all good Yellow jackets live in Garden city (516).

Please!! Stop the nonsense! GC people should be a little more humble! You have a hole in your program at the 2014 and 2015 age groups! Things will change by next year!

I wonder if your the same person that said G.C. graduated too many seniors last year and there not going to do well this year. Are you crazy saying 2015 has holes, Everybody raves about the Y.J. 2015 blue team, (for good reason) and there are what 5 girls from G.C. on that team. Personally, Garden City parents, and players are being pretty humble? I , for one do not live in G.C. but know they are the best team in the country , and have been for 7 years. All there other Schools come on here boasting, Sachem East, Northport ,E.S.M. etc..., but none of them are as prolific as G.C. I envy there level of commitment to all there girls (Academically , and in sports) not to just one or two "special" girls. So until all the rest of you figure this one simple point out, and stop being selfish, you will always be an also ran
