are any of the other teams in Plainedge div any good? Lynbrook, Bethpage, Floral Park? and why are teams like Roosevelt and Roslyn in that div anyway

Nassau does a power conference so all those teams first listed play each other during the year. For playoffs they all go back to their respective conference for playoffs

So CSH drops down to "C" playoffs after playing the best of the best during their league schedule? Plainedge wins every league game and then has to play Manhasset Wantagh or GC in playoffs?

or North Shore in B
B is stacked.

i think North Shore surprises people this year. They will beat one or two of the 3 top teams in B this year

That is correct...playoffs are by conference (school population size). B is stacked very year with GC, Manhasset, Wantagh, North Shore, LB...

SUFFOLK!!
melville, northport, mc, w. islip, smitheast, smithwest

so teams either ask in or ask out of the power conference? Good for CSH.

MC will win the county

Hmm... What about the defending State Champs?

Is that Centereach or Newfield?

1. West Islip. Over the past two years they are 40 - 4 with a State Championship. Good coaching and a winning attitude will take them far. Strong leadership. Coaches and players expect to win.

2. Middle Country. Will compete but last year might have been their year. 18 - 1 last year and combined 29 - 7 over the past two years. I think they will be in the mix. Maybe they play with a chip on their shoulder. Are they hungry after last year?

3. Northport. 24 - 12 over the past two seasons. Coaching and tradition will keep them competitive. Not sure the horses are there to win the county but you never know. Usually play with a lot of attitude and emotion. Combine that with being well prepared for big games and they can surprise.

4/5. Toss up Smithtown East / Smithtown West. West is 24 - 10 while East is
23 - 11. the last two seasons. Not sure either team has the depth to challenge the top teams.

6. Ward Melville. 19 - 14 past two years. Historically will make playoffs and then lose to a team that they had beaten during the year. Better than .500 but can't see them winning.

Not sure if anyone else has a shot. Sachem East?

Good luck to all.

I'm From Nassau. No love for Mount Sinai ?

Mount Sinai is a very strong program, Their youth coaches have built a strong program introduced a good summer Club program but their weakness is the Head Coach, he is a lucky man!

Honestly thought he was just ranking teams in the A division which I think they did a good job with.

Mrs. Rose can't win

This is probably the dumbest statement on this board...ever! And I am not a YJ parent and live in a neighboring town who would love him as a coach for my daughter!

Really, I think Northport has won 7 county championships in the past 14 years. Not sure before 2002.

Yea Neighbor same here, but in our town the Youth program runs the whole program , and our Varsity coach lets the youth coaches pick his JV and varsity players for him.

Some not all of the people involved with this lax program have that attitude. I suspect it comes from one of their 2021 Mt. S. youth coaches. Played against both on seperate occasions in different scenarios, and they have been crazy 100% of the time. Real winners those two.

What summer club program is that? Don't recall seeing Mt. Sinai at any summer tournaments last year.

Agreed. He's an amazing coach. That statement is ludicrous.

I think they are talking about R P

Says "Mount Sinai" - how did you get RP out of that?

Here is the RP post

How many girls try out for MC Varsity?

How the [lacrosse] does RP have a JV coach that doesn't even know how to hold a stick? Screams like a lunatic, degrades and screams his head off at refs and the girls.

Not to mention the clear conflict of interest with the RP youth / tournament teams he coaches. New AD coming after this year, hopefully with the stones to make some changes.

Because he offers free mis-informative lacrosse training and free track use on saturdays with every purchase of buying into his BS.
Amazing the varsity coach bought into it another year .
Some things will never change !

He's known by many nicknames but one thing is for sure he has become " Freemasonry " of girls RP lacrosse .. the secret underworld that will not go away until someone in charge grows a pair of balls and wipes the slate clean !

Believe it or nit not that many as u think. Jv nay only have 15 girls

How do the Varsity and JV numbers look in Huntington? Will they bring any 8th/9th graders up this year?

Better 8th graders on the move up. That's a fact Jack

Anyone have any update on the LI All American games? My daughter is finally of age, and while I know some readers say it's a biased selection it was a great day last year to watch some very talented lacrosse players.

HA-HA-HA-HA

Ridiculous that Huntington has 7th and 8 th graders trying out for varsity and jv.... Are they that desperate for talent?

Nut bag parents have final say still

Just curious, are the parents of juniors and seniors who are not very good also considered nut bags when they lobby for their daughter even when it is clear that younger players are better? Or do you subscribe to the wait your turn model?

Sounds like the usual control issues inherent in the town program – cronyism, living by the bay, maybe being a member of the 'club', travel coach affiliations – and this is just the girls' side. Kind of like most programs, huh?

DO you really think that a coach would not put his best 12 girls on the field? Even if the 7th or 8th graders were on varsity, they would play based on their ability to get the job done. To play a less skilled girl would be ludicrous. Now having an 8th grader and 10th grader all other things being equal, I may lean towards playing the younger player as I could get more years and development out of her. Let's face it if an 8th grader is as good as a 10th or 11th grader now at this point the upside to this player is greater. Many times an 8th grade travel girls with triple or more game (including big games in finals of tourns) that a non-travel but solid mutli-sport upperclassman. But there is much to be said for emotional maturity of a player as well. So many variables, and many ways to look at it. Depends on the coaches philosophy.
