put the red cup down and push back from the computer. so many things whacked in your post but, what]s the problem with a defender doing the draw??

get some help..

I've seen players from all positions--attack, defense and middie--take the draw. A good draw control includes the players on the circle as well.

Truth.

And then there were two.

What say you?

Being from wi, I am neither a fan of mc or np. However, Mc player deserves this before she graduates. Polished talented player who relies on skill to get job done.

Anyone know how the LI teams did at school girls this weekend? Couldn't find anything on laxpower

Have a daughter who graduated from college last year and a freshmen in high school now . Have been following this web site and the school girls tournament for some time . Back in the day everyone complained that YJ and CR ran school girls and were biased in their selections etc and that the teams did not win the tournament every year as a result, that said cannot remember a year when a LI team did not make at least the finals .
Fast forward to now .( My freshmen made team 3 about where she belongs ) The politics in the selection process are worse than ever and there were kids on team 1 that anyone who has been around LI lacrosse long enough knows did not belong( side note CR and YJ are no longer involved).Several teams were over represented . Sorry but you have a player who has been considered 1 of the best players in the country in the 2018 age group for some time now who gets cut while a player from a below average team who is not good enough to play midfield on that team ( has 1 goal 0 assists on season ) make team 1 as a midfielder , of course her coach was at the tryouts . The result is the first time in a long time no LI team makes the finals.
Yale was a poor venue for this event .

I guess your Wantagh girl made the right choice. Good for her, congratulations!!

Ma/Ri team 1 and 2 won both divisions... pretty sad considering the two team beat the 1 team when they played. What is happening on LI people, why can't we put together good teams anymore.

LI metro 1 was 3-1
LI metro 2 was 2-2.
LI metro 3 was 1-3.

It's politics . You had certain high school coaches show up as evaluators to simply put undeserving kids from their districts on teams .WH, SE completely over represented on team 1 and I am sure there were other high schools who had evaluators there that pushed some of their own kids and the end result is the worst showing by Long Island in the history of the tournament . Bring back CR if you want to start winning this thing again .

Mass and RI had 2 teams total. one per state. if we - LI - chose just one team?? come on we would demo all these squabs..

Then team #1 should win...

Stat padding of the year award goes to............ RIVERHEAD!! Looked at various games and boy some of the "stars" really light it up against some sub par teams.

Thanks for the update. Not surprised by any means. Too much politics on LI, too many phone calls by mommy and daddy and too many undeserving, self-serving ball hogging girls being rewarded with placements on theses teams. Again, not surprised at all it is no longer a team sport on LI. Parents and coaches are ruining the sport.

Yeah--and speaking of stat padding. When you see parents promoting stats over wins there will be a problem. Especially with team chemistry. When mommy starts spouting off about how many goals her daughter has, and your not winning a lot of games, well that's a recipe for your daughter to have no friends on that team. Just saying. Brag about wins, not goals.

You have the ELEVATE DIRECTOR involved in picking teams. What do you think is going to happen? You have a director from a sub-par club picking kids from his club who have barely any college commitments. Think about it?

there is no ''deserves'' in sports. The team who plays better that day wins. That's why they play the games

its all about getting your kid recruited and the [lacrosse] with everyone else. I love this game and HATE HATE HATE what it has become. 3rd and 4th daughter still playing so I have been around a while

CR is as crooked as they come with the evaluations however the best talent (although much weaker than in the past) is still playing for the YJ's. So if you over pick YJ's the odds are you are getter better players. By over picking from weaker clubs well you get weaker kids. Anyway the whole sport is a joke its just about getting recruited whether you are in 3rd grade or 11th. If this is your 2nd sport or spring sport just quit now because the girls looking to get recruited are only in it for themselves and ruin it for the girls who just want to play

That is incorrect. MA/RI had 4 teams. Team 1, 2 and 3 won their divisions. Team 4 lost to Team 3 in their respective division's final.

Also incorrect. Team 1 LI beat Team 2 LI 13-10. If you were referring to MA/RI Team 1 and 2, they did not play each other. Team 1 would win by a good margin however.

I have to disagree in that I watched a lot of kids that are committed this past weekend act like complete ball hogs .Team 1 LI you had a GC kid the whole weekend act as if she were the only player on the field , her shooting percentage for the weekend must have been hovering around 20 percent. Then in the finals LI team 1 vs team 2 you have a ball hog kid charging to goal with 20 seconds left with her team up by 3 . Tries to charge thru 4 kids to pad her stats ( no other reason to go to goal at that point) and gets a few teeth knocked out for her troubles. These kids are already committed so the ball hog its all about me style of play is more a character issue .

There is no need to single out a kid like this. It makes you as big a jerk anyone on the field or associated with the tryouts.

For those booster club leaders and travel parents who want to box out every non travel lacrosse player because its not their #1 sport, go check out probably the best kid in the country from BC who is a part time player due to playing her #1 sport which is hockey. Just because some kids don't drink the kool aid and travel the east coast every summer weekend doesn't mean they cant play or that they don't love to play.

Here's a message to the HS players, their coaches and parents, PASS THE BALL, nobody cares about your daughters stats except you. It's a team game

No Elevate coaches or directors were involved in the tryouts or coaching teams this year.

Sorry was really just trying to say the ball hog behavior does not seem to be about recruiting and honestly tell me why a kid is going to the goal up by 3 with 20 seconds left in the game. I felt bad for the kid getting hurt but that is more compassion than most of the parents on the sideline felt.

English pls

Any upsets in Suffolk County championship games today?

I'd join in on the bashing but I saw the kid play. She does not play the "ball hog" game. Sucks her teeth got knocked out.

Are you kidding me? MANY of the parents from both teams were concerned for the young lady that got hurt. Most parents/players never like to see a kid get hurt so please stop with the "no one felt compassion" crap, it simply isn't true.

How do you explain the last 20 sec in the game? maybe she was trying to create...

Northport over MC.
BBP over My. Sinai.
Rocky pt over ESM

Northport over MC

That's funny

Shows the regular season and team rankings were right in Nassau. All the #1's are playing the #2's except for the Port upset over Syosset in the finals this week

Look for all the #1's to be victorious with CSH having the best chance as a #2

MC rolling at half-time.

KARMA IS HITTING
NOT EVEN OVER AND MC WINNING 11 TO 3 - 13 MINUTES LEFT
WOULD HAVE BEEN A GAME IF WM PLAYED

Final 13-3
