Wow, I never realized just how many towns that are under the Sachem Umbrella.. I thought Manhasset, Rocky Point, Riverhead, Syosset etc etc all were their own towns.. I'm glad to see Sachem School District is growing into Nassau and deep Suffolk... Perhaps we should make a town team from the Town of Brookhaven or the Town of Oyster Bay next tournament. Technically they are towns...

Hope the town championship tee shirts run in the wash you cheaters..

Town tournaments are generally defined by PAL teams. SYAG is Sachem PAL. They reason they are good in PAL but not in MS, JV or Varsity is because all of their best kids are on the same PAL team. Once they hit 7th grade they play for different MS teams and the core is dismantled. They are not cheating, but youth is where the glory ends for them.

Nobody cheated it s a true sachem district town team with the exception of one child from conetquot who has be legally released from his pal town team for personal reasons. All the teams played great but unfortunately Syag was the better team and came out on top. Why when teams loose to they look to the winning team to find a reason to trash them ? They are 10 for god's sake grow up!

They don't pull from anywhere get your facts straight
They won , with very talented kids

Cheaters! Every kid from that team was a registered SYAG player. I have never meant so many sore losers before, let the kids play lacrosse already.

Hey rvc.try keeping your community off news 12 for negative news.you know what i mean.at least our kids are class acts

It just set in that you got beat by a lot . don't worry you can enter a battle of the B's tournament next time

Every time SYAG wins people complain. As the post
states above Sachem is a large district with many
different kids from towns within the area. Yes, the
talent is in the PAL program and as these kids get
older they will all be separated into two different HS,
sucks for Sachem because these kids are something
special together. It was a well-deserved win, they
fought hard and won. Let the kids enjoy the victory!!

What about the last kid? Is his mom playing hide the salami with a director? His last name doesn't match up to any coach.

I was not happy to see my sons team lose to Sachem but I have to say the Team is tough! I did some research in regards to different players from other towns/counties and those boys are from the Sachem district! Our boys need to work harder or get better coaching. Sachem is a big district with a big talent pool.congratulations on the win, they deserve it.

And where could you have done this research? It would be pretty creepy if you are searching for background information on another teams kids.

Or more likely, you are a parent of a kid playing on SYAG attempting to down play the shadiness going on with your group in order to win 4th grade tournaments.

What town are you from ? You plan on getting better coaching for a town team? Usually most town teams have dad's that volunteer their time to coach the kids. Guess your town is different

There are plenty of PAL programs that have more than just dads volunteering - our program has a mix - yes, we have some dads, but we also have coaches that are also part of some club programs (some happen to live in the community), coaches that are part of HS programs, as well as younger college players and/or recent grads that are early in on their coaching carriers. All coaches that do not have boys in the program are paid - I'd estimate that we have 1/3+ paid coaches. The result is that our school program is strong and consistently so. And our HS varsity coach and staff is getting more involved, so expect the trend to continue and probably get better.

So once you become a father you can't teach a bunch of 10 yr olds how to play a game you played for over a decade? Nonsense. I've seen many "Dad" coaches that were a million times better than the paid x-college player because they understand young kids, promoted good sportsmanship and most importantly weren't on anyone's payroll. It's lacrosse, at a very basic level, hopefully you have a coach that's a role model first and has adequate knowledge of the sport.

it's all part and parcel to the "elitist" lacrosse crowd - in their mind, EVERYTHING below the so called top three or four club programs are worthless, and might as well not exist. The ironic thing is their myopic view of the game would actually kill it for even the top teams, because in the end, you need players at all levels and in numbers to actually cull the best from. The best players weren't born the best - they developed, and, in many cases, through repetition playing against all of the other kids. It is the stupidest POV ever.

He's been getting DNA tests done on gatorade bottles the kids throw in the garbage.

Club teams have not produced better players they've just found a way to profit off of the parents' hopes and dreams that somehow college won't cost a small fortune. Full rides don't exist and even partial lax scholarships are pennies compared to what travel lax costs. It's too bad playing for fun and for the love of the sport is in the shadows of the club teams and the tournament, lax for profit world we are now in.

Solid plan. If the DNA shows inbreeding then they are from SYAG. If not, they're an out of town guest player playing for SYAG.

Is that the same SYAG team that beat blast in Hershey 2 summers ago?

No, it is not the same kids but the core kids were
the same, they have been playing together since
they are 4.

Wasn't that the same summer your wife beat your @ss after you caught her with the mailman?

No, it was the summer I knocked up you fat wife and you pig mother.

I would love to see them play Manhasset. The two town teams to beat the worst 91 A team in the history of the organization!

Lol town team, town team sounds like your talking about one town. There is more towns on that syag team, then any Long Island club team.

How does Sachem (8 towns) differ from Half Hollow Hills (6 towns), Middle Country (7 towns), Three Village (9 towns), Smithtown (5 towns) or Connetquot (5 towns)?

Big school districts have big PAL town teams.

Some just have better lacrosse players too. SYAG is one of them.

. . . and all in Suffolk, which is why a town team like Manhasset is statement!

That's great for Manhasset!!! Will these boys list 3rd grade lacrosse championships vs travel clubs on their resumes when they get older?

They should play the WI tournament team

I think their SD's ~70 years of powerhouse lacrosse accomplishments answer that question - it's not like their accomplishments begin and end when they're in grade school!

Where in the heck do you get your facts from?
3 Village 9 towns? Smithtown aND Connetquot 5 towns? Half Hollow Hills 6 towns? Name them please

Lmao! Get off the pipe

its called the internet. if you search a school districts towns you can read them for yourself.

Three Village Central School District is a school district located in Long Island, New [lacrosse]. It serves Setauket, East Setauket, Stony Brook, Poquott, Head of the Harbor, Old Field, and small portions of Port Jefferson, Saint James and South Setauket/Centereach.

3V: includes all or parts of Setauket, East Setauket, Stony Brook, Poquott, Head of the Harbor, Old Field, and portions of Port Jefferson, Saint James and South Setauket/Centereach

Connetquot: includes all or parts of Oakdale, Sayville, Ronkonkoma, Bohemia and Holbrook

Hills: includes all or parts of Dix Hills, Wyandanch, Wheatley Heights, Melville and Commack

Smithtown: includes all or parts of Smithtown, Nesconset, Kings Park, Kings Park and Saint James

Ain't that the truth. And then they're name after an early AM Sunday morning bathroom session at the bar. I heard it was between Blast, Bump, Freeze and Blow for the final name decision. Great call. I guess it makes sense considering the moms look like hookers... $50 hookers.

Sorry your kid was cut. Maybe you should consider therapy. You seem quite angry.

Solid originality on that reply. Busting out the old "sorry your kid got cut" never gets old, I guess.

Anyone have any thoughts on tomorrow? I would tend to think that Lax Black is the favorite, no? What team is parading around as Dark Storm? Is that he starters from Blast and Geese? Did they get upset that the second stringers were having their own party?

It looks like deez nuts are making another appearance. Good luck

You are so dumb. Get your facst straight. Dix Hills and Wheatly Heights aren't towns. Hills is actually made up parts of 4 towns, Huntington Station, Melville, Northport, Farmindale, Babylon, Deer Park, Wyandanch and Commack. Notice that all of those towns, except for Melville have their own school district, so Hills only pulls a small amount from each of the other towns. Hills is also a smaller school district and is in Division 2, so if you are going to compare, compare by the size of the district, which Sachem has 2 schools of 1700 each, Connetquot has 1515, Smithtown has 2 schools of 1200 each, Ward Melville has 1 school of 1786 and Hills has 2 schools of 900 and 1400. So Sachem has a way bigger pool to pull from, plus many of the surrounding areas don't have lax programs, so kids from those towns play there too.

No geese on nuts..... all on dark storm!!!
