Ok, I'll fill you in. Every administration is obligated to protect the well-being of young girls, and give them ALL a positive, healthy experience, which they're entitled to, without being bullied, and verbally and mentally abused. Based on your post, I know you don't understand, but believe it or not, that's more important than winning. Nobody is saying the new coach can't be tough on them, but you need to know where to draw the line. Our younger ESM girls will be better off with someone who's more positive, even if they win a few less games.

Zero chance player of the year will be from WI , just got to watch a group of very talented 10 th graders from LI at school girls tourney and sorry to say they are head and shoulders above the rest .

Giving them ALL a positive, healthy experience is what you're saying is not happening at ESM. Well, according to all the alumni present at the game last night in support of the program and the coach, it would seem the three or four missing from the game who apparently are the ones who did not have a positive experience with the coach are the ones you are speaking of. so three or four unhappy kids are going to ruin it for the many past and present who love being a part of this team. I'm sure every team has one or two kids unhappy. Glad my time is just about over here and happy to have had the time I did under this coach and a program she built to what it is now, as hard as that is to admit for you. the younger kids that you seem to be so concerned about are missing out on playing for a great coach and part of a history-making program. It's unfortunate that allegations and accusations can be made just to satisfy an agenda of a past player who maybe didn't get what she thought she deserved or a parent who thought their child should have been a starter. There are three sides to every story. We will agree to disagree here. As far as the coach, she will have no trouble snagging a coaching gig with her successful past record. Just because you say there was bullying, mental abuse, etc., doesn't make it true and the many, many letters, phone calls, and private meetings had with administration have proven you are in the minority. you may be powerful maybe, but definitely in the minority. I'm happy for the coach that so many past and present came and defended her and spoke to and had meetings on her behalf. I wish her well and who ever takes over the program I wish the best of luck, they're going to need it. I hope you can move on with your life after she is gone.

How are the teams with the 6 year starters doing today? Could any of those teams beat Liberty/Manhasset? If you want your kid to be a "gotta get mine" player and in the end not reach there goal stay at Y.J. If you want your kid to learn to play as a team and succeed play liberty and win in the end. While your kid is going down to Maryland that first tournament in June to beat on Liberty remember, its just because Manhasset is going up state to play for the state. At least you get to brag to one another how you kid got 12 goals against Brentwood as a 7th grade starter.

[quote=Anonymous]That's actually my point , there were several 10 th graders on that team who were clearly better , if you did not see that then you are just blind .I am sure she is a good player considering she made the team but you said player of the year, sorry but not in the same league as those other top 10 th
And I'm sure you picked last years Suffolk Player of the Year as well? This year if it's not the West Babylon kid then you are all blind. See you at the dinner.

Liberty is a joke.

Your daughter got cut didn't she? don't worry Y.J. will take her

Liberty is a joke.

"Great job by Wantagh but the it has to get a little tougher on CSH 17-1 in finals? Why is there even a class 3 season?

North Shore, Southside, Long Beach, Plainedge, Calhoun, Macarther, Hewlett will never win a county with GC, Sett and Wantagh ahead of them yet CSH is anointed before the season starts"

Lets all shed a tear for them...CSH plays in Conference 1 along with GC, Manhasset, Wantagh and a number of the large A schools with good lax programs in the regular season despite its size and does just fine... If those other towns build their programs maybe one day they WILL compete for a championship. The size of the schools are what they are and you compete in the state tournament vs. like sized schools no matter what the sport. No one was crying for all the other schools when South Side was dominating the woman's soccer field for decades--they have a limited pool to pull from but have a great program.

Why?

If Wantagh can develop and win the B's . Other towns can do it too. It takes leadership and a strong youth program that Wantagh has developed. Wantagh is still a baseball town and was a Softball town. Wantagh did not have the lacrosse roots like GC and Man do when they started the girls program.

Other towns have the resources and athletes to develop their programs they just need the leadership.

How could Liberty be a joke if the have all manhasset and GC players? How is that possible?

I noticed that there are a lot of Elevate kids on Syosset, CSH and even a bunch on Wantagh. Seems like they are recruiting kids from the right programs to join.

Because the elite travel programs take the very best girl or two from all towns, including Manhasset and GC, liberty has a limited draw from a couple towns. Truth is only a couple girls from each age group would make the top travel clubs top team. So take your top 2 players in an age group, now add 22 other girls who are just as good or better and you have what the elite clubs approach. Drawing from a small group, you can't compete.
