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.

SE needs to beef up its regular season schedule if it's ever going to win a state championship. Playing a tough schedule forces you to play team ball and prepares you for the playoff grind. Easy competition only inflates individual stats and nothing else. You don't see any 70 goal scorers on Chaminade yet they keep winning championships.

easy on the "keep winning championships" crap. A 2 team league..... Chammy does play one of the toughest schedules in the tri state no doubt.

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. Too many freelance all stars . The younger SME kids are even more about me.

Wow, back to back county championships and the haters keep on hating . Maybe they should make your kid the quarterback of the offense and let you coach the team. I'm sure they would win the State Championship

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

My son's team had one kid who single handedly lost every single game due to his selfish play. Held the ball 70% of every possession, was completely ineffective, we had boys who had played box lax for a season, could've at least been competitive, just gave up even trying. Makes sense the kid isn't committed to any school, who wants that?

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.

Suffolk has the better players as is evidenced by the Nassau vs Suffolk showcase game results every year but Nassau has better teams that play team ball. A lot of these Suffolk super stars don't care about the team game just about stats and looking good.

Two great programs with a lot of respect for each other. Both should be proud of their outstanding seasons. It was Syossets year to move on, and we wish them well. Wish everyone would stop bashing. We all want to win, but only one can. Lots of variables in lax . Most of the top teams could win/lose to each other on any given day. Just look at the College tournament. Makes the game exciting, because you never know which team will step up "click"

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.

It seems as if Suffolk has a bunch of young guns how does Nassau look. Syosset is loaded again for next year and Pequa will be strong too. Farmingdale should have a strong team next year also in Nassau. That is A. In C it is always a one horse race with CSH and in B it will be GC or Manhasset as always.

Not sure that is true. Looking at the top 20 collegiate programs in the country. Rosters have way more Nassau County Players than Suffolk.

My point is to be humble, and it is not all abut the state championship. All steps count. It wasn't me coming on here claiming anyone who doesn't win is a loser. Now somebony needs to think about what they say and be happy for both the winners and "losers"!

"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 WM parent again. We also know many families on that Syosset team and none fit the description expressed above. Syosset parents. Don't take the bait offered by the small minded name callers--they are the same people we all knew in HS, just jealous and not happy with their lot in life so they pick on others wherever possible. Everyone knows a couple of these people... Good year Syosset boys, sorry you didn't take it all.

Can a Syosset Parent please tell us how many of the boys on the lacrosse also played varsity football for the Braves this past season?
Long Island Champions in two sports is a great accomplishment for a young athlete. Congrats to The Braves.
