Massapequa in Nassau. West Islip or Northport in Suffolk.

Massapequa in Nassau and Northport or Ward Melville in Suffolk. I do not think any of them win the state title this year.

CSH?

Riverhead

is a town out east

Northport or West Islip in Suffolk. Smithtown East and Smithtown West will round out the Final Four.

riverhead is not winning anything.....

ward Melville would win if they got rid of the coach and let the kids coach.

Not sure that would work. How long has that coach been there? Have heard crazy stuff for years but witnessed last years meltdown vs NP in person. What I can not understand is why has The WM Girls Program never been able to track with The WM Boys Program?

Because WM girls have the worst group of parents ever. Probably this years graduating class. How many times over the last three years have you heard this group throwing the coach under the bus? It is embarrassing and an utter shame.

You sound very bitter. Since you know so much and have been following the program all these years why don't you answer my question? Why is it that The Ward Melville Girls Program not been able to trac with The Ward Melville Boys Program? I find it strange that one program is one of the best on the Island maybe the country and has been for decades and the other is mediocre. Do you not find that odd?

Port Washington in A Nassau not Pequa

WM boys are not what it used to be. You're living in the past. The question was already answered, WM parents are the worst in any sport. The majority of them aren't worth peeing on if they were on fire.

If you are going to stir a pot at least have a clue. Now go back to the basement.

Bitter? What are you talking about. Calling out this group of parents who constantly blame the coach because the team always comes up short. I don’t care about the program whatsoever, and certainly don’t follow WM, but can’t avoid seeing the disgusting behavior as they post it all over these threads literally dozens of times, year after year and I am certainly not the only one to call them out on this. I do read BOTC and this group is constantly on here killing the coach. Just pointing out the ridiculous behavior of these “adults”. Is the rational observation of a bunch of [ChillLaxin] parents to be considered bitter? No it is not. Don’t let me stop your fun, go back to bashing your coach.

Yes, you absolutely sound bitter. Coaches, players, parents, teams, AD's, clubs, universities etc... are all ripped apart on this site all the time. I do not recall seeing anything too outrageous directed at the ward Melville coach. You must have an attachment to the program and you are very sensitive because I don't recall seeing a "constant" stream of posts "killing" the coach". I am friendly with several parents who have daughters who recently graduated college and none of them have positive things to say. There is no way around it, many of the past and present parents are not going to be happy with their coach. Sorry, I just don't see any real attacks or "ridiculous behavior". Any shot at the coach on here has been minimal in relative terms.

Why attack the parents instead of simply answering my question? All of the other lacrosse towns that I can think of have successful boys and girls programs. Why not WM?

Your answer is "the parents" .

Actually there has been very little banter on here over the years regarding WM coach. However, when it does happen there is always s post with "throwing the coach under the bus" mentioned and an attack on some parents. I am guessing you are the same person and you obviously have a problem with a parent or several parents. I have seen coaches from many schools ripped apart on this site. it is rare that I have seen the WM Coach ripped. From time to time there will be a comment but nothing more than that. You on the other hand rear your ugly head almost any time there is a comment.

The poster asked a valid question which you did not answer. Instead you choose to attack a group of parents. The complaints have been around a lot longer than the group of parents that you obviously have a problem with.

You are wrong, WM gets ripped on here more than any other coach...You must not be keeping up...All you hear about is the 2018 class is the best ever, why cant they win it all? Def the coach...sound familiar now?

When you see a short jab or poke at a player or coach on this site it is most likely just someone trying to start trouble or as they say stirring the pot. When it is long , repeated and constant it is usually someone emotionally attached . Have not seen that so I am guessing trouble makers trying to get a rise out of some parents.

Nope, sorry just do not see it. Have never read anything on here that sounded like a parent of a particular WM class claiming they are the best class ever. I have seen people attack particular groups. keep trying to start trouble.

I have been reading this site for a long time and would say the WM coach has been "blamed" for her teams performance more so than any other high school coach so saying it has been rare is disingenuous at best. That said she is partly to blame as they are a talented team but do not play as a team and have several head down go to goal players .I would also say the parents have to take some of the blame also as they seem to be a group who tell their kids they know better than the coach and when their kids don't meet their expectations they lay the blame all on the coach but not on the selfish play that has been instilled in some of the girls.
Comparing the boys and girls programs at each school is just ridiculous , does a successful baseball program mean the softball program should be successful, or the same with basketball.

No, it does not sound familiar . What does sound familiar is your attack.

Spot on

Can someone list the Nassau divisions so we can start talking about pre season rankings?

What town are you from?

When a coach allows selfish players to hurt the team I think the blame absolutely falls on the coach.

Comparing the boys and girls programs is not ridiculous at all. Every other lacrosse town on the island has successful boys and girls programs. GC, WI, Manhasset , CHS, Etc... Same parents, same commitment , same culture, same expectations, same gene pool, same families, same youth programs.....

I think you answered the question.

Lets be honest no other HS sport except for maybe basketball which is tougher because of the defense has as much selfish me first play as girls lacrosse. Impossible to do it in volleyball baseball softball football etc.

In lacrosse the ball hogs never give it up and score tons of meaningless points many times at the expense of much inferior competition. Weak coaching along with ass kissing booster parents don't help. And every year most teams where everything runs through 1 player are eliminated early from the playoffs.

The teams that share the ball and have the most depth usually go the deepest in the playoffs.

Bingo

I have also been reading this site for a long time and aside from some one line comments taking a shot at the coach (it goes with the territory BTW) I have not seen much. Nothing compared to what I have seen regarding other programs, clubs, coaches or even players. Never have I seen anyone go into detail or continually attack the coach. Some of the time I am 100% certain it is just someone trying to stir the pot.

You seem to have some knowledge of the program and if what you say is true about having talent but not playing as a team and being selfish then maybe the coach is to blame. It's pretty simple, if you do not play the way I (the coach) want you to play then have a seat you will not play at all.

I have also seen plenty of comments on here going after some of the players and parents. What I have not seen is any of the typical retaliation (tell your little Susie to hit the wall, if your daughter was better she would play and so on).

Sounds to me like expectations are high (which they should be at a school like WM) there has always been plenty of talented athletes and when they come up short every season some of the parents take a shot at the coach. Then, like clockwork someone comes on and attacks the parents (with a morally superior attitude mind you).

Considering the fact that it is the same story every year maybe the remarks about the coaching are not so far off the mark.

It is surprising that the program has not had more success.

And who is responsible ? You got it, the coach.

Nassau Power Conference has GC, Manhasset, CSH, Long Beach, Port Washington, Massapequa, Wantagh, Syosset, Oceanside and North Shore.

Can someone explain why a private school (Christian Brothers Academy, for example) qualifies to play in the New York State PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOL Athletic Association?

I do not know but I wish St Anthonys did the same. Suffolk could use another competitive team.

This is from page 10 of this 224 page thread from several years ago .Same nonsense with you pathetic parents , your kids lose so it has to be the coaches fault because it could not possibly be that your kids are just not as good as other schools players.Our boys team is good so it must be the girls coach that’s the problem , sad and funny all in one .

To the poster who found the need to go back in time...take a look at actual results.

Also notice that it was an antagonist who started the BS.

Exactly.

You WM parents keep saying that rarely has anyone blamed the coach for losing on this site then keep blaming the coach .When you are shown that this has been going on consistently you just blame it on an antagonist ,it’s actually comical .Maybe she has done the best with what she has to work with .

"Pathetic parents"? You took the time to go back several years and dredge up nonsense yet you are the one calling others "pathetic".

Because there is not enough private school competition close by. About the $.
