just so glad that our 17 yr old senior has been committed since 14 and we have not had to deal with this nonsense
simple advice: if the opportunity presents itself; take it and make changes later if indicated.
Him not having to play with undue pressure to get a commitment which is so prevalent with the kids these days was a blessing Glad that ur son had a chance to kick back and cruise with no pressure for the past 3 years. Is his college coach OK with that? Do you expect that he will see the field in college? If anything there really is more pressure once a kid commits to a top program. College coaches expect their recruits to continue to develop for 3 more years of high school / summer play. did not mean to imply that he "kicked back"...on the contrary; he worked even harder to prove that he deserved that spot. He had an academic incentive to achieve as well by the coach. there was no kicking back. He played fall, winter spring and summer ball since he committed. He def subscribes to the "the only easy day was yesterday" mentality and loves the challenge. IMHO - HS players regardless of ability or college commitments all face a lot of pressure (lacrosse, Academics, Girls, Social life) but without a doubt the recruiting process is the most difficult to deal with for a few reasons including having to do it in such a public environment (Ty are you listening), fear of missing out, following your peers and competition signing. Once a child commits to a college for lacrosse only one of those pressures has been eliminated but it seems like 90% of the anxiety has been lifted. I would go out on a limb and say that 99.9% of kids that are good enough to commit to D1 lacrosse program in their freshman or sophomore year are driven athletes and most will step up their training and not coast at all, but now instead of going to recruiting camps and prospect days they are going to the gym and the wall and probably spending as much time on SAT prep than lacrosse. The uncommitted but talented player has to also do all those things AND continue with prospect camps, college visits as well as phone calls and meetings with club and HS coaches and practically every car ride and meal with his parents being dominated by "what College" conversation. Congratulations to all the early commits, get that score up on the SAT and get more academic money and good luck to those still looking, I am rooting for all of you (well maybe not that kid that slashed my kid at pridefest)

This age discussion regarding high school teams seems out of place considering that high school teams cover four, if not five, years of boys. The debate is applicable for travel teams, where there is at least a tacit attempt to have like-aged boys play against each other. But, high school? Welcome to the real world! Only if your talking varsity.

I like WI & WM, WI especially after this football season. I know lax isnt FB but SW ouch. No clue how Se will come out. 5-9 Commack and Huntington i dont get why they are on top of that teir 10-15 always in those spots maybe Whitman and riverhead move up and Sachems move down.

Toss up between Smithtown East and Ward Melville for county championship but would love to see someone else make a run. Now lets get back to football.

Going to be tough for Bay Shore this yr after losing attackman. Id say different as much as Id say tough. Somehow they always get the next man up. Last two years lost 1st round of playoff's by 1 goal. Still not top 5 but could be some surprises a tier below.

Could have easily been a 2 loss instead of In your words 3 loss Ugly Season? That's as bad as me or anyone saying anything short of States for Se is a waste.

Bad loss to a weak Walt Whitman team in the playoffs turns good season ugly. Only morons poke fun at Smithtown E for not winning the state championship. History has proven that this is a two or three team league. Some years maybe four but that is about it. The proof is in the history. How many different programs have won the county championship over the past 40 years? West Islip had a great run but they have been off and it is doubtful that they will make the finals in 2017. Maybe final four.

Why because it hurts the parent's feelings ? They have a lot of talent, but the same amount of LIC and state titles in lax as Copaigue. Sorry, but don't tell me there is not huge pressure on those kids to not only get off the island, but to finally win a state title. All those D-1 commits and Ivan Drago like training in the.Turtledome should have produced a dynasty. Try a little humility, ask your neighbors to the West for help. They had to learn by experience too.

IMHO Each year there are 4 and a few more (2). How do you forget about '15 & '13 Nport. and Quot the past 2 seasons. On top of SE SW WM WI
As far as WI they have got to be in the conversation. there are a top 4 team and on any given day has the tools (horses and coaches) to beat any of the top 3. Your outline of the Se loses and your Definition of a Weak Whitman team (especially LY) leaves much to be desired.
Losing to Se the last few years does not make an ugly season. An ugly game maybe, but cant define the season by a game. And the Whitman game, a one goal loss in the playoffs, #!&&@ please - Stop!

Since 1986: Ward Melville - 15 County Championships West Islip - 9 County Championships Smithtown E - 2 County Championships Northport - 2 County Championships Sachem (when combined) - 2 County Championships Smithtown (when combined) - 1 County Championship Not ver deep. Do you not get it? It is not a deep league and it is not "on any given day". Over the past 40 years (not 31 years) there have been a lot of "days" and it is almost always the same teams winning. Ward Melville and on many of the days for a nine year stretch West Islip were at the top of the heap. However, the past four years have not been kind to West Islip. Smithtown East and West have made some noise. Northport has been competitive from time to time, Connetquot has put out some great players and has been competitive here and there. The Sachems have fought hard but rarely have enough depth to make it to the finals. We are talking about 40 plus years of data. This is not opinion. Do you really think HHH East or West are going to win the counties?? How about Commack?? Maybe Riverhead or Bay Shore will surprise us. No. In the end it will come down to Ward Melville, Smithtown East and two teams to be determined later. There are not five or six or seven teams that can win the county championship. As far as WI goes, yes, three of the past four years have been ugly. and last year the playoff loss to WW turned a good season into an ugly season. Thats four ugly seasons in a row. 2013 they lost 6 games and were blown out in the playoffs by 8 goals. 2014 they lost 7 games and were blown out in the playoffs by 8 goals. 2015 they lost 7 games and were blown out in the playoffs by 12 goals. Sorry, but that is ugly. in this league 6 or 7 losses is ugly. 2016 they did well regular season but at the end of the day the lost to a very average Walt Whitman Team. WW only managed to score 2 goals against WM. Sorry, not a very good team. The loss to WW was ugly. The past four years have been ugly. I would expect West Islip to compete for the three. four or five spot this year but that is not saying much. Top two in this league is impressive, anything else not so much. Especially if blown out in playoff game. History, performance and results are what matter. Not opinion.

IMHO Each year there are 4 and a few more (2). How do you forget about '15 & '13 Nport. and Quot the past 2 seasons. On top of SE SW WM WI
As far as WI they have got to be in the conversation. there are a top 4 team and on any given day has the tools (horses and coaches) to beat any of the top 3. Your outline of the Se loses and your Definition of a Weak Whitman team (especially LY) leaves much to be desired.

Oh, you're one of those, only championships matter. What a jack [lacrosse]. No, not one of those. Just pointing out that the league is not up for grabs. It is not five or six teams deep. There are one or two teams every year that have a reasonable chance at winning. Some years there are three or four (never five or six). Look at the actual results not some parents opinion at the beginning of the season.

Did the seeding meetings take place ? Anyone for the Suffolk divisions ? WM=1 SE=2 3-SW 4- WI 5- Commack 6- Huntington 7- Northport 8- Hills East 9- Connetquot 10- Sachem N. 11- Sachem E. 12- Bay Shore 13- Walt Whitman 14- Riverhead 15- Lindenhurst 16- Middle Country 17- William Floyd 18- North Babylon 19- Longwood 20- Pat-Medford 21- Brentwood 22- Copaigue W.Babylon, Bellport, Deer Park and Hills West go down to D2. Great for Hills West as SWR and Sayville are now in D3. Wasnt W. Babylon Bellport and Deer Park in D2 last year? Guess Babylon's reign is over. 1-4 does it matter who is where all battle for top 4. I like WI & WM, WI especially after this football season. I know lax isnt FB but SW ouch. No clue how Se will come out. 5-9 Commack and Huntington i dont get why they are on top of that teir 10-15 always in those spots maybe Whitman and riverhead move up and Sachems move down. Bayshore a year older but so is everyone else. could be interesting Won't be that interesting at the top. S East will win it all, they are absolutely loaded. They also were able to fill the graduation holes with top notch seniors. WM got lucky last year, and lost some good players, doubt they will even make it to the Counties SE has been loaded for how long now, but lets see. Hats off to them for being this good for this long. Unfortunately, with this crowd anything short of states is disappointing. Here we go again. It's only October and we have to hear the SE parents telling everybody how awesome they are. So awesome with the a majority of same players returning when they didn't even make county finals last year. Oh yeh, they also lost during the regular season. Why don't you learn from the past and let the season play out. Remember what happened to SW years ago when they were "loaded" didn't even make it past first round of playoffs.

Guess again, moron! On second thought, keep running your mouth because it is so much sweeter when they do lose. You put so much pressure on these young boys, learn from the past, stay quiet and enjoy the victory if it comes....but remember, it is a long way away.

SE will be a dominate force again this year, as they have for a time now. Only in your words a "moron" would say its sweet when a team looses. All I'm saying is they have the talent, what happens next is up to them and luck certainly plays a role! You never know who is out there practicing to be a game changer!

Pequa in a rebuilding year, 3 top scorers graduated. Syosset will be a shell of the team they've been the past few, opens doors for many others to shine Let me fix your typos and grammatical errors..... Syosset will be a [lacrosse] of A team LIKE they've been the past few YEARS, opening doors for many SYOSSET KIDS to shine! Sorry, all the game changers graduated. Nassau is now up for grabs for whoever wants it, being Pequa and Syosset are done for a bit. you'll see! Thanks for the insight Mr. Port Washington Dad.

WM and SE have superior talent and depth. Its a 2 horse race, WM and SE, its that simple.

Maybe. Well, look at it this way, if you get off the island this year, You won't have to face Victor, who moved to Class B.
