Never know. It's why they play the game.

Nassau A is a two team race. Nassau B is a two team race. Nassau C is a 1 horse race. Suffolk A will be a dog fight to see who wins, WM my favorite followed by Smithtown E and W with HHHE a tough out. Not sure about Suffolk B, Suffolk C SWR until proven otherwise but will be competitive. Suffolk is deeper across the board (Nassau guy here).

Were you not aware that SWR has lost two games in their league and won two others by 1 goal? They are not dominant by any means.

You are in the playoffs!! What kind of team wants that to be over?

I think I follow his thinking. He is accusing someone, who picked Pequa to win in the playoffs, of being related to a Massapequa player. Because it is not possible for an unbiased lax fan to pick Pequa to move on based on their undefeated league record and their strong performance out of conference. Their only 2 losses of the year were a 1 goal loss to SE (which even SE players/parents will say could've gone either way) and a 2 goal loss to Chaminade (who parents there will say that team should be playing in the ncaa tourney).

Yeah.....whoever picks Pequa to take the county title or even think take the LI title, must be related to a player!

"Were you not aware that SWR has lost two games in their league and won two others by 1 goal? They are not dominant by any means.

Um that is why I said "Suffolk C SWR until proven otherwise but will be competitive." Are you trying to stir controversy and a fight where there is none? I agree with you.

That was such a polite and evenhanded smack down

but alas, logic, reason and a calm demeanor has no place on BOTC....

you xenophobic narcissistic Pequa defender

You'd be surprised at that answer. The teams that dont think they can escape the first round. Many of them just want out!!!
Sad but true

Not from pequa and I (along with many) say they win Nassua A. I just dont think they take the LIC.

SWR has some noise on here for Suffolk C, Someone said a 1 horse race, what is there 10 teams 6 get in playoffs. I say a four legged race; I like Islip.

Suffolk B probably EI and ESM, but Id love to see Rocky Point.

Suffolk A has the 2 studs but it is a 4 team race.

Once again, why the sarcastic silliness? How about an ADULT dialogue about the playoffs, devoid of insults. Why do you think team A is better than team B, without the nastiness.

The 1 horse race comment was for Nassau C, IE, CSH. Funny, that was the same thing said in 2014 . . .

Yes, reminds me of 2015 when Pequa, then SE was supposed to take the LIC. How did that work out?

Sad how some coaches leave their star player in to get garbage points.

I guess playoff brackets will be published today?

what do they go by? is rpi the same as power rankings?

there should be a rule that you cannot schedule all of the bottom tier teams in your division (teams ranked 11-22). This does not make for a good season even for those bottom dwellers.

Suffolk A has 22 teams you schedule 14 of those teams of the 14 only 4 maybe 5 can be from teams ranked 11 or lower. Maybe drop the mandatory count of 14 league games to 12 or even 10 and you have some more flexibility for those higher profile teams to bye pass the bottom 11 even more and schedule OOC opponents. Or becuase we need to be politically correct and in the spirit of sportsmanship allow the 11 to 22 teams to schedule other OOC like teams. an 18-2 game isnt fun for anyone.

They already do this. Preseason rankings and power rankings. 1 seed only plays 2-15 and then goes down from there.

Maybe you don't get it or i didn't get your satire. If you are ranked 1- 11 you cant play more than 4 of the teams ranked 12-22. Some of those teams with final ranking of 10-15 played all 11 of the 11-22 teams. Grant it the end of the season and beginning can differ. but the bottom 5 teams dont differ that much

his point was/is do we really need the #1 seed playing the #'s 13-14 or 15 seeds, these games aren't good for anybody

yesterday we had five games on LI decided by 14 or more goals
21 - 2
17 - 1
17 - 2
17 - 2
16 - 2

I was at one of those games and the starters were all out at the end of the first period - so it was not running up the score - it was not fun for either team - make super conferences for the regular season - make less league games - more OCC against traditional or more competitive opponents and MLGA (Make Lacrosse Great Again )

Agree but wont happen. How will certain players "stat pad" their numbers.

The king of team and players that know they are underperforming. We got what we deserved when we allowed administrators to bend to the will of a few malcontents and remove Coach Dollar. Lesson learned, never again.

Hey.....you guys let the landscaper run the place. Shame on you

Bayshore and Huntington got screwed. Lindenhurst should not be in.

Does anyone happen to know anything about the Casey Powel tryouts held this week to field a LI team for the WSL in Denver ?

Port probably beats Massapequa in the semis and faces Syosset in the finals. I'd say close game. Maybe overtime in the finals.

I tried arguing against him and his little group of whiners. Your son didn't make All American? Too bad, he's playing football anyway. Thanks for destroying our program. Next time, fight for the guy who busted his tail for our kids, we let the guy down.

Do you mean in Sailing or Crew?

Port= Money does not by happiness. Blue Collar all the way baby! The trust fund panseys will just be happy getting things handed to them, while the hard nosed workers will get the job done.

He's still around. Go get him

Cops and firemen are hardworking? Are you serious?

How does Huntington get screwed they were 5-9 in league. Bay Shore beat them. Neither played Lindy. Whitman that's another story but they lost to Lindy. They all had weak schedules Lindy won more games end of story.

Two types of people in this world the guy who invented the plunger and the one who was destined to use it. You keep plunging Massapequa guy. I will just keep on investing my trust fund money and keep living the good life living off of my returns all the while your neck did in crap.

This has got to stop. Stop lumping everybody in one town into the same financial category and overgeneralizing . I live in Port and there's no trust fund for me. You sound like an idiot. As for Port parent who keeps taking about investments, please stop. You're embarrassing us. Don't speak for the rest of us or try to represent us. This is supposed to be about lacrosse and not how much money people make or what their jobs are. Get over yourselves

Only someone without money says it can't buy happiness. FYI. Money talks.

You are a total moron

Hey Port loser, a firefighter from Bethpage died in the line of duty just a few weeks ago.!Is that hard working enough for you? Hope your kid blows out his knee and can never play again you arrogant tool

Omg you call the guy a loser, and hope a young man hurts himself,

When there is a spooky shadow from outside your window or the boogey man is under your bed and you call the cops to come check it out, those men n women are working harder than you.....aren't they?

Hey Port Moron

Line Of Duty Deaths for Police Officers:
2016- 145
