hills east didn't lose the game. they won 7-6 with 10 seconds left. And the reason the game was that tight was because f the Northport goalie who had 15 saves.

rocky pt team not very good. m.c. out shot r.p. by 30% and won more face offs. rp goalie play kept them from loosing!.

Also brand new coach at HHHE, so it is going to take some time for them to get comfortable with the new system.

Give credit where it is due, not excuses. My son is on the Hills squad and our coach had nothing to do with it. We took 22 high percentage shots an the Northport kid stood on his head to keep them in the game. If not for that, it would have been a blow out.

Changes are coming.

It didn't seem like the RP goalies were saving much besides stuffs on the door step. They have a good offense, but the penalties are what kept RC in the game versus HHHW.

rp goalies had 20 "stuffs on the door step" and you say it wasn't much? sure wasn't the defense stopping m.c.

In the HHHW game the goalie made 5 saves, and 3 of them were on the door step. The defense started out strong but weakened as the game went on. The game was tight from the begining, and when HHHW would get on a run, they would make a bone head penalty. The new players need to get caught up, HHHW graduated a lot of talent last year.

Saves - HHHW: Zakarachis 5, Coffey 3; RP: Kotarski 5;

CSH Syo score

CSH Syo score

Great win, that loss wont hurt then as much.

But how do you beat the goalie in your estimates, where did the 7 come from, fast breaks, slow break, outside shots, screened shots (a lost art on kids these days)

11-5 Syosset.

Don't use the "we are a young team" excuse. 7 of Ports 13 were scored by 2020 players

[quote=Anonymous]Wow Smithtown East did not look good at all. Total different team than the past super flat. Very young team.

You never know which Syosset team is going to show up, the one that came for the CSH match was truly amazing to watch.

Looks like the Northport coach blew another game, it’s been happening for years. Most disliked coach in the town

And he makes everyone play on his summer league team, what a prize

doesn't that happen with most high school teams? They play summer ball to get better as a team and be seen for recruiting

No.

Li team's should do 2-3 tournaments as a team.

Doesn't Ward Melville do a summer invitational.
Lax fest has the grade Nassau/Suffolk games and which also has HS games
One other out of town and that is perfect. NHSLS, Hot Beds. Etc

So I guess Syo aint dead...

Garden City crucified Syosset but CSH resurrected them

I think its funny when a high school coach doesnt have the team play together over the summer there are parents that complain the coach doesn't do enough. Then you have high school coaches that have the kids do one or two tournaments over the summer and you have parents complain they do too much.

[quote=Anonymous]The northport coach does have them do tournaments and showcases but his system is flawed. You are going to these evens against select teams from all over the country with kids looking to be seen for college as well as jell with their teams for the coming season. He is inviting kids who will never see the field on varsity let alone play in college and takes the "pay to play" approach so everyone plays equal time. So you are hurting your players who are there for exposure because yes if a college coach is there to see a specific kid he will, but the sidelines aren't full for the teams getting slammed on the 2nd or 3rd day because you haven't won a game due to this.


Good point and in that case, the starting and effective role players should attend since it is not a school event because those 2 events I mentioned are set up only for the HS teams so there is certainly a platform for them. And most of these events when you see college coaches, that means they are being compensated so they are forced to watch but not every college in attendance is being paid in which those coaches will be more inclined to leave like you said. Lastly, the reason why I agreed with the one poster who said the HS teams should attend 2-3 tournaments is because of everything we are talking about...this will allow the serious players to play on a club team and get exposure that way...

Both those events are filled with high school teams from all over the country and yes they are great, but these teams come to play hard and win. They aren't doing equal playing time for non-serious players. They bring their varsity players. So if your kid is say the starting goalie going up against a top ranked private high school and at some point he is out there with 3rd stringers, how does that help him when he is getting shots taken on him from the crease and getting lit up?
That aside the point about being able to then go play club, not everyone has the ability from a financial perspective to play for some of the club teams. That is what these showcases geared towards high school teams then are supposed to benefit and supplement. The single parent who also has other kids in college might not be able to afford all the trips and the steep fee's involved with the club teams.
It is unfortunate that this isn't taken enough into accord. Just because your kid is not on club doesn't mean they aren't good enough to be.
