Do we expect any less from Manhasset daddies.

Exactly!

I was on the sideline for two of the games and the Manhasset parents were totally fine. A good day of lacrosse that unfortunately gets tainted by this back and forth.

I forgot that catholic high schools play on Sunday

I don't understand the controversy regarding the Manhasset team, the tourney or the Express North team. It was a great day of lax, very competitive games across the 2020 North division and a great final game. There wasn't any arguing on the sidelines, no cheap hits or obnoxious coaching and the score was close. Plus we got to stay home for the weekend.

Completely agree! A very competative bracket and some great lacrosse was played. It was an exciting championship game and all of the boys worked very hard. It could have easily gone either way.

Good point, the two players from PW were excellent additions and there were likely many other 8th graders from Manhasset available but weren't invited to play as this team isn't affiliated with PAL or the Manhasset32 club. Stay classy everyone.

why does everyone care so much when people do this? I don't get it.

The one disappointment yesterday was hearing the LI Express head coach (not North) berating his players with the f-word and telling all the middies they "suck"! Not a great way to motivate players, let alone kids!

When people do what??

put a team together to play in a tournament, have you been reading?

I wish my town had enough talent to beat a handful of travel teams Not to mention a few dads who are knowledgeable enough to be good coaches, but willing to donate the time it takes to get to that level. Hats off to the boys from manhasset

You forgot to thank the boys from Port, and who knows where else. Please, they lost! And it was a B level tourney to boot!

It doesn't say this team was put together for this tournament. Looks like boys played on 32 together and now play on Set 2020. Apparently both out of Manhasset.

just looked at the scores of the 2020 north on tourney machine, all games ended within 4 or so goals. I don't care who was playing, that looks like a great day of lacrosse.

Coach Fran is a passionate and dedicated coach. The boys like him and we have never seen him be unfair to any player. Stop being a coward on an anonymous website. Teach your son to work harder so YOU dont have to complain online.

If your an adult your a serious tool !!! You must be from GC or some other Manhasset rival. Wasn't even there and can't believe what idiotic posts coming in. Where did your little Johnny play this weekend ? Or did he at all. Some quality fall lacrosse played from what it seems and haven't seen one excuse for losing. It's meatheads like you giving Long Island lax a bad name.

I did hear the Express "B" coach, f-bomb and tell his Middies they sucked. Why is this even remotely tolerated or defended?

You heard correctly. He is not a good role model.

It's the catholic school way i guess

Little Johnny doesn’t play b tournaments where select teams masquerade as "town" teams

Is it an issue that pick up teams play local tournaments?

That is a great question, some may say these tournaments are B tournaments for B teams. Others may say why not get a group of boys who don't necessarily play travel together get together and play.

I love the aspect another group just put out a tournament series for B teams. This tells those "pick up" teams this isn't for you.

Manhasset has no rivals!

Watched last 2 games of tournament . Not sure if it was this group .Was impressed by Manhassett against Express . One kid from Manahasset was lights out. There plenty of balls on the end line and a kid feeding them in that helped Manahasset get an shot or 2 in before game expired . Refs were in place and make good calls from what I saw. watched other Express play Team 38? In last game. That Express coach was a little over the line for me. Was very critical of a few of his players at the end and probably caused them to shut down at the end.

The teams in the rising sons tournament are some of the best which should make it a great Sunday for lacrosse

Jealousy of a loser?

Because everyone hates them.

Agreed. Would have like to see Looneys play the Rising Sons though. Otherwise great match ups all around.

Is there any reason crush and crabs aren't in it?

They are 1 and 2. The rest play for third place.

Age limits, both Crush and Crabs don't qualify now.

If that were the case Rising sons def couldn't play. Average age 16

Everyone knows about crabs, now crush has holdbacks?

Everyone knows where they stand WRT to Crush, and Crabs are loaded with holdbacks - not really a true 2020 team - so nobody cares about them.

LOL. You can keep saying that, but college recruiters are all over the talent on the Crabs 2020 team. They will be dominant this year.

You can't hate them or hate losing to them, but saying "nobody cares about them" shows your ignorance.

Everyone has to get over the holdback thing, every team has them and UNTIL US LACROSSE changes there view on AGE it will continue to happen. GET OVER IT !!!!!!!!!!!

I'm from CSH, a Manhasset rival, and I like just about every parent and kid I've met from there. Haters hate...

May I suggest decaf for you.
