The only thing I really get from "Back of the Cage" is a good laugh. It is quite humorous at what anonymous people will write about; teams, players, posters, and even nothing just to see who will take offense to the posting. I thank you all for making my day a little brighter, humor does make life more simple and that is true about most of the people who post on here on "Back of the Cage", they are truly ordinary 'simple' people.

Too many freelance all stars .

The younger SME kids are even more about me.

SE can easily be described by the following phrase " Too much me not enough we" . The talent level on this team was quite exceptional but the discipline was surely missing. Mental and physical discipline was sorely lacking and on display time after time. The coach missed his opportunity this was the year. SE was lucky to get by Melville.

Too many freelance all stars .

I agree these kids are very self absorbed. Yes they have some individual talent but so do many other teams. The reality is they had an outstanding set of FO guys and dominated a lot of teams because of that. When they played teams who could compete at that position it was a much different game for them

Facts are facts.

Fish rots from head down. If coach doesnt set precedent then its a free for all. Same gig at CSH

All true but it starts with the parents.

I have a kid on WM team. We know many of the boys and many of the parents from SME team due to summer ball. They are good kids and good parents and strong lax players.

The people commenting negatively are either jealous or have a kid on the team that doesn't get to play much. either way, the opinion that person is expressing is not the same as mine.

Good kids, good parents, they lost a game to a better club, end of story. Syosset had a great year, hats off to them.

To the haters and those who have difficulty with reading comprehension.

The post stated: “Two County Championships in a row” – the post did not mention the word dynasty.

The post asked: “How many teams have done that in the past five to 10 years?”. The post did not ask who won the county championship back in the days of short shorts, high socks, bucket helmets, no helmets or superlight II’s or wooden sticks.

The post did not mention Long Island or State Championships, It simply said until proven otherwise Smithtown East is the Top Team in Suffolk A.

The poster was not looking for ancient history.

In the past 5 years only two teams have won multiple or back to back Suffolk A Championships.

- Smithtown East and West Islip.

In the past 10 years only two teams have done it.

- Guess what, same two teams: - West Islip and Smithtown East.

Ancient History the past 15 years only three teams have won back to back or even multiple Suffolk A County Championships:

- Smithtown East , Northport and of course West Islip.

Congratulations again to Smithtown East on a great accomplishment.

All but for a brief moment in time. The moment they lost started the conversation for 2016. If only the two LI conferences could play for a state title. Until then 2016 starts now.

What is the scope and make up of the Nassau teams. It seems as if Suffolk has a bunch of young guns how does Nassau look.

14-11 final Niskayuna over Syosset

That's what happens when you get cocky SYO
Not really surprising at all! Where's the daddy now who was saying if you're not a Winner, go home? Eating his words instead of the winners cupcakes perhaps?

Which team did your kid play for that syosset beat

Syosset still no state hardware. Nice program but always overrated by townie blowhards.

"blowhards"? no need for name calling - these parents might be arrogant, loud, obnoxious self entitled drunks but to call them blowhards is just plain rude

LETS GO SYO!!!!!

The real blow hards are the people who make rude comments about a team that just won the County and Long Island Championships. Obviously jealous!

Of what? They lost! Didn't show up for the second half of the game. Sad ending, same thing that happened to SE, kind of ironic

Could Calabria have done a better job ? What do you mean by ok coaching ?
