Division I is up for anyone's grab this year. West Islip is nowhere near the team they were last year. Northport always puts out a solid team, Middle Country has the best midfielder in Suffolk County, Smithtown West was strong last year and didn't lose anyone. Anyone's grab

There are three or four teams who have a realistic chance. Not up for grabs at all, most teams have no chance.

Northport, Smithtown West, Middle Country, West Islip.

Who else has a shot?

I think North Shore will be the team to beat this year, very athletic and young

You all really need to get a grip. First off the USA today thing is a political joke . To say anyone is the best midfielder in the country is just pompous and ridiculous. Kid is a great player and so are many others and yes there are some that are her equal.Everything is so subjective that to say anyone of them is the best player is ridiculous. Have played against her and her YJ teammates many times and would tell you that on that team any of 5 kids including the goalie have been the best player on the field that day. I would also be willing to bet that everyone of those kids have just as much of the intangibles you speak of .Have done scouting for our High School team for 10 years plus and have not seen the kid who is the clear best player in any year, they all have weaknesses and there are many who could have the one of the best label so give it a rest.

North Shore or Northport?

Scores from CSH skied today???

smackdown!!!

Scores from CSH skied today???


All close games except for the BBP game. They crushed Yorktown.

well thanks for the predictions there Jimmy the Greek. but don't wager all your dough on that. you will need lots for toll money back to NJ...

Sportsmanship and CR are rarely mentioned in the same sentence. Does she have the biggest club? Yes. Does she poach? Yes. Do they win some games by a ton and never back off the gas? Yes. Are they known for bending the rules and being the most physical? Yes. Are her parents some of the worst in the game? Yes. Does she charge for everything from extra training camps BBQ's bus trips and everything else to shake down parents? Yes. Does she double dip off her own players with her tournament circuit? Yes. Does she get her kids recruited no matter what? Yes

Sad thing is that many parents ignore the entire list all because of the last point

No stall. ESM possessed the ball and made numerous shots. Defense on the other team was good but unable to get a turnover until 9-10 minutes passed. Give credit to Summits defense because they did a great job. They are the reason they won that game. It was a good game and close until the very end.

St. Anthony's beat Oak Knoll in OT

I guess your daughter isn't on that list, don't be so jealous. It's ugly and it probably impacts your ability to "scout". Lol, a scout, that's the funniest part.

It was a great game. Evenly matched teams - Both team's defense played great. Summit held to just 7 goals.

North Shore, they are quick, transition well and goalie is great

They are going all the way. Big win today

Is it true the girl from Oak Knoll tore her ACL at the end of the game? If so, a shame. She played a great game and was a standout.

This goes on in most varsity sports in GC. It's rampant in football baseball and lax on the boys side for just the reasons said here. On the girls side it exists too but Instead of the father/son thing it's the sister and field hockey favorites thing. Its out of control.

If you don't think that some teams are out there scouting their competition it just tells me you have no clue. My daughter is in 3rd grade so no she is not the "top middie" in the country but I will tell you I am making sure she can use both hands as I would not want that to be an issue. My point is to nominate someone the best middie in the country is ridiculous , its the same way I feel about the newsday stat leaders thing .

Heard that is the case but don't want to pass rumors around (heard from a very good source). Great player, maybe the best in NJ as a junior, committed to Stanford. Ranked by Inside Lacrosse as a top 25 soph last year. Scored over 100 goals last year as a sophomore, 50 her freshman year. Really too bad all the way around.

Not a career ender.. many have and do recover close to 100% of prior speed, agility etc.. takes time and hard work..
she will get there..

OK "Scout" they are all great and your third grader is the best! Probably because she reads your scouting reports when she has a few moments free from playing with dress up Barbie.

Whatever her situation is, I do wish her the best and a speedy recovery!

Could someone tell me how an injury might impact a committed player? Is the player obligated to disclose that to the coach?

If playoffs started today in Class A Suffolk here is the teams in the mix.

coaches have dealt with this with many, many kids. And many kids who tore their ACLs in high school are having great careers. Have not heard any story of a coach dropping a kid.

Quicker to drop if you did it playing another sport
