I see that Bethpage is headed down to Maryland to play at South River, who is a traditional power. Any ideas how that will turn out?

Don't know South River dad.

South river is decent, not a power high school lacrosse program.

Long Beach, North Shore, Southside and Plainedge with be on top of the pack this year. Wantagh, GC and Manhasset are toast

Wantagh beat Plainedge in the playoffs last year 19-5. So where is this talent Plainedge graduated you speak of? Reality check, Plainedge stunk! Played a soft schedule and when the played a good team they got beat like the no talent team they were.

GC and Manhasset will still be the teams to beat. LB and Wantagh next two

Wantagh is now in C conference...no GC, Manhasset, or LB in playoffs. They will probably play in power conference during year though

Hi newer to lax parent with a 2021. We live in NJ/PA area. We are NOT in a hotbed area, but on A team of viable club. Looking for info on Showcases. I asked in the 2021 thread but too much bickering to notice my question. Particularly what showcases are worth it - we are not recruiting yet but getting feet wet. Also looking at participation as a way to have 1:1 against some great competition. NXT Summer Showcase, fl$, Brine, UA tryouts, Super Saturday Winter Blitz by Sinc Sports, etc. are these all money grabs ? Are any necessary ? ANY insight/opinions/wisdom very much appreciated.

Is that true? So now Cold Spring actually has some competition in the playoffs? GC v Sett in B, CSH v Wantagh in C

Do not forget about North Shore and maybe Plainedge and Seaford who are also in the C's. There are now (4) conferences in NYS

Sett should be huge favorite as they have the number one 2018 recruit in the country!!

Suffolk predictions??

Class A is wide open. Many teams can win this class
Class B is all ESM
Class C is all Mt Sinai
Class D should be Mattituck's for the taking.

D is going to be a joke

Class A is not wide open. MC, WI, NP and SW. No clear cut favorite but most of the teams in the league have no chance.

BBP will be in the mix.

Don't count wi out. They are a tenacious group with a great coach. Ward Melville has the talent but cannot get out of their own way. Sw lost a couple of key players but they have some great young talent. Np too cocky

Take it easy on Seaford and Plainedge. Both will have a top scorer in the county and both teams will be horrible in competitive games because its a team game. same story for theses two town year after year. Zero depth and zero team play. North Shore is always competitive

Why is nobody talking about the IL indoor event on the weekend of the 9th. The top 32 teams as ranked by IL squaring off in what is the closest thing to a girls national championship as we have ever seen. Am I the only one that thinks this. Old develop into something big.

My daughters playing . We're excited about it but it's 7 v 7 indoors . It would be nice to win but isn't necessarily indicative of what will happen in the spring,

Nice tournament and good idea, but clearly not a national championship. It is indoor and not all top teams are playing (see Summit, Ridgewood, others). Still a good idea.

ok, serious? because Jersey teams arent there? They took the final rankings from the 2016 season and invited all those teams to bring there best players to a tournament close to Jersey. If the schools, coaches or players decided not to attend thats a forfeit of there ranking spot. It seems to me the organizers allowed those teams that gave up, or couldn't find enough commited players to then take players from other schools to fill in rosters. And lets be frank about this, it's not like the N.J. teams are really going to beat the likes of Mc Donogh, Manhasset, or Garden City. Walton (Ga.) St Anthony's (NY) and Westwood (Mass) are also no going but that is on each school so because your region doesn't send a team doesn't make it "not real" the only thing "not real" is your reigons commitment to finding out who is the best. I mean look at Mass. elite complaining how they should be considered top 5 club but not sending there only top ranked team to this event to prove it. And Mass parents , don't complain about the distance, Novato California is sending a team. Most of the top H.S. teams are sending teams if yours isn't you don't get to complain you should have sent a team. This silly sentament that its only 7v7 is also ridicules wether you put your best 12 or best 7 on the field makes little difference you still play your best so in the end it my best against your best. These girls are top athletes and will play to win, this should be fun
