Sounds like "Rudy" above never got a chance to play in the big game as a little boy... Good Lord, take a breath, can't argue the on the Political rant (kind of agree). However, sports on a whole "is" about the competition. It's about winning and losing. Only one team finishes on a win, One! By your absurd definition all the other kids are losers??? Really?

And if your son is on the losing team he better had not eaten any of mommy's cupcakes because they are for winners only.

Right winners only like the previous gentleman said. go back to the vacuum lady really.

no champions in kitchen - just women and losers - or is that redundant?

Get it right. Everyone gets cupcakes. but sprinkles are for winners.

Total farce......a lot of these players are certainly deserving others are just hooked up and like always it's who you know or who you b#!w.

sprinkles are for winners that's right. Lmaaaaaooo no winners in the kitchen just women and losers. too many moms involved in the boys sports. annoying

What happened to the dynasty? SME is getting romped by Syosset. I think they spoke to soon!!!!

Don't you have to win 1 first?? How can you be so arrogant??

I bet you eating your words now. Not only did Syosset win they dominated the 2nd half of the game. Not even close. This year Nassau had the better teams.

Suffolk overrated. Nassau dominates long island lax.

Nassau sweeps Suffolk...ouch.

Yea booiiiii! Nassau proving again where the best HS lax in the country is played.

Lmao, whatever happened to this guy ? Tool

Have a nice summer Suffolk.

Your correct, County Champs means nothing. States. You think the Pats are happy with a divisional title? No, it's superbowl or bust.

Smithtown East believed the hype a little too much. The program does not have a history of winning championships. Still waiting...maybe next year but it feels like the window has closed with this Senior class leaving.

Cant wait to see the rings they order for this years championship lol

Not a bad guess. Who do you like in the Belmont?

Smithtown East won back to back County championships. Thats very impressive and I think they have a good shot at a third next year. Smithtown East has a lot of players back next year. I think they will do very well in 2016.

Two County Championships in a row. How many other teams in Suffolk "A" have done that in the past five or 10 years? Smithtown East has a lot of very good returning players, they could win the county championship again next year.

They won when nobody thought they could (2014) and they won when everybody said they were the team to beat (2015). That is more than just about every other program in the county has been able to do recently. That to me is impressive.

Until proven otherwise, Smithtown East is the Top Program in Suffolk A.

only one other team has been able to repeat in the last ten years but that was West Islip who repeated 7 times, was 5-2 in LIC and won 5e states. WM has not repeated as County Champs but they are 1-0 in LIC and also won the States -

Somehow winning a County championship seems unfulfilling given the expectations SE had. Perhaps playing a light schedule didn't prepare SE for a battle tested Syosset team. I agree they will be back next year but 2015 has to be considered a huge disappointment.

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.

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.

I would say Melville lucky to be in the game. Melville lucky to get by Northport. Melville Lucky to go to OT.

I would have to agree. Great talent with fundamental discipline and "we" ball missing.

Too many freelance all stars .

Can we all root for our Long Island teams 3 from Nassau and 3 Suffolk girls teams to have a strong showing in the states the more champions the better they all have their work cut out for them lets bring some trophies home!

Two things to address; the light schedule this year and repeating next year.

Strength of league play/
I am not sure id say it was weak, if you do not subscribe to my point of view lets agree to disagree that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I see every conference as weak if Suffolk is weak. Would it be any different next year if all the Suffolk playoff teams were in one conference. Making a theoretical power conference of 16 team conference would you still consider it weak. But if that was done, only play 12 of those teams and open up the rest of the schedule to play 4 non conference games with 1 sect 8, 1 Sect 1, 1 NYS team (regardless of Level), 1 out of state team. This allows for a good comparison of teams across the state and Island before the playoffs.


Repeating has a lot to do with succession planning/
What team return 70% or more of their starters, of that what are the grad yrs. SE seems to of had plenty of jrs/sophs which would make you think they will be strong again. Without names can you run down the Grad years of the following 2015 Playoff teams (xx srs, xx jrs, xx soph, xx frosh, xx ms). I would do it but I cant find a reliable roster on line.
