Hey Einstein, don't you mean you're not allowed East of Rt. 110?

Why would you continue to play these weak schedules year after year and expect a different result. Don't challenge your exceptional players with good opponents. Just keep padding your record during the season and get embarrassed in the big games....ALWAYS!!! Uw

does anyone care about what's going on in Manhasset.....enough is enough with the favoritism and nepotism Coach's son on the first middy line that never comes off the field... People complaining about the attack scoring too many goals and never coming off the field. The only reason for that is so the first middy line can try and have some meaningful production...which,other than the UNC commit, they don't! There is minimal production...and only against inferior teams! Look at the facts and not anyone's opinion....can't hide the facts. Has anyone ever seen a man up squad that can't score?? and yet is in every time? The members of man up and players who have seen the field this season and past seasons are the result of favoritism and nepotism. Coach's son , and friends, loyal team 32 paying customers and sons of employee coaches of team
32...so is this pay to play at a public high school..... Second and Third attack and middy lines have barely hit the field this season. Not acceptable Manhasset. Where is the privilege of being a senior and putting in the hard work for 4 years? We have heard that the best kids are on the field??? Not according to the numbers!!! School board and administration must investigate and take action. Need more people to write letters....anonymous is the only way because as we all have seen, those that complain are severely punished. It is terrible that the administration allows this....you want the players to play for the team? You need a coach who coaches for the team! and now...when you thought it couldn't possibly get worse...the freshman son and his friends etc. have been brought up to varsity...playing over seniors! you just can't make this up. it is OUTRAGEOUS and a conspiracy that we are allowing. Write in to the Board Members and Superintendent


good call ! this horror show of a coach has lost 37 games in the ten years he has coached this team (won 151) and only gone to the state championship game three times and actually lost once. I can not understand how he still has a job.
Hmmm. This was first posted at 10:57. Your post is 11:44. Kudos to you on your incredible efficiency at looking up and breaking down the 10 years of wins and losses.

===================
I'm confused as to why a freshman playing over a senior is such an issue. If the freshman is a better athlete than he/she should get the time
Sounds like BC updated his resume and is circulating it! Likely at the college level..

Expect a clean sweep of the home teams today in Suffolk A. It will make for some great semi final matches.

My prediction is West Islip vs Connetquot final with Connetquot winning it all.

fair prediction, I don't think quot gets past sme-

If WM gets by SMW today, WI/WM will be an intense one, with 50 50 chance for both teams. If SMW wins today, I predict they upset WI and play SME in final...

will be fun couple of weeks.

These comments about other communities/programs are being done by outsiders, not the members of the community/program

You do not see West Islip or Farmingdale griping and I guess you can describe them as mediocre if you have never seen a,lacrosse game before. Over the past 20 years just wins and no excuses but the West Islip parents are tough to listen to.

"Top program coaches" are not paid to win in the public schools. They are paid to coach. Winning has nothing to do with it. The coach could lose every game and he's not going anywhere . Not sure who told you this but it is factually unnaccurate.

Nope, Wi goes under the title of "there are issues but they keep it in house". A few years back when they were doing just as well there were posts on here but coach Craig does an amazing job with that community.

Farmingdale really want to get started there.

Craig is great but the without the community supporting the Lacrosse program they wouldn't be able to compete. WI community supports LAX from when their kids are in diapers..

Craig has them wrapped around his finger..if you miss his summer league you might as well quit because you are behind the 8 ball. Must be great being the puppet master over these kids and parents. Play travel and not for him is looked down upon. That's the truth

I think your right, WI gets upset one of these games, too many 1 goal games all year, living dangerously eventually catches up. SE wins it all, theyre too good offensively and at the X

Brennan was outstanding against west i/ww played harder/

Sorry here is my yearly rant... Maybe some changes can take place at Turning Stone this year. Sorry if my request takes time away from your gambling! Which asks the question why would a NY State School/Educational organization like NYSPHSAA have a conference at a casino??? on The Tax payers dime!

Here's my rant...

Am I the only one who gets twisted when I see how the brackets get laid out for the NY State Championships.

Don't get me wrong I love that you have a Long Island Champ, but why not have that same opportunity also be for State champ. We are effectively giving participation slots out by playing/seeding the championships by geography.

Have a true Champions format having the weakest sects play the strongest. How can Ct and NJ do it. Not to sure How PA does it but they are just as big

Come on for Class B, Upstate 2 games in for the state playoff could be. Messina vs Dewitt, then Dewitt vs Vestal or Horsehead.

Meanwhile the LI teams play Sect 8 vs Sect 11 then most likely go to play Sect 1. In B at least there are 11 sections why are the top 4 playing each other the first 2 rounds!!!

The sectional games within Sect 8 or 11 would have be more competitive than the State games between sect 3/4/10.

Why not play in a ranking system. Highest plays lowest.

That's like asking Dewitt to Victor in the first round. EVERY FLUKING YEAR... Why not, they are neighboring sections!!! I am sure neither want that. But thats okay, have Sect 8 and 11 beat each other up to advance... to play what is another top 4 section in sect 1

Whats the issue, budgetary come on make a trip out of it. At the very least if travel time is a factor figure it out its not to hard. You are effectively giving teams a pass to the next round that wouldn't otherwise get out of round 1 in a true playoff format.

Why does Sect 1 get the pass of playing Sect 9. Why does Sect 3 get the pass and play sect 10.

Section 1 also has to play Section 2, which typically has some very good teams in Class A such as Niskayuna. So not a cakewalk for Class A at least.

I think you have to look at it as a 4 team playoff with the number 1 seed being Long Island 2 and 3 central western and 4 downstate. Long Island gets the benefit of playing the 4 seed. Also the 4 seed has the toughest road as it should be , in that they have to beat both Long Island and Upstate to win . The bottom line is there is no cheap or fluky champion.

sorry for the delay, I had a presentation to complete for work

Jealous ?? he is the best goalie on the island . Nothing but respect for him , can't wish him luck at Hopkins ? relax man.
