BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Girls High School Lax

My kid makes essentially all those teams and you are ignorant if you do not feel politics is involved in all these things . The school girls thing was ridiculous , it’s like giving the Tewaaraton to a player who plays in a weak division who never plays a decent team .

This has to be some pot stiring loser.

I guess that you must be connected.

Can GC hire some real coaches now!

Yes I am . That said it’s not only politics but it does certainly come into play and you must be ignorant .

For how many years and on what teams has your daughter stolen the spot from more deserving players?

I guess the wound is still fresh

looks like northport got caught looking ahead to the LIC!

Wow GC and Wantagh got spanked by Manhasset and CSH not even close. Would have lost that bet.

WB/ESM game was a great game. ESM takes it in OT 8-7. WB got away from their offense by having 2 middies take 95% of the shots. Can't win games if you're attackers don't get any touches. Good luck to ESM on Sunday against Manhasset

YJ lost to TG?

Ribbitt

Gotta take one game a time

Manhasset will eat them alive

Sure did. Outplayed every step

Looks like TG sniped the Tewaaraton from YJ as well, bad day all around for CR. Cream rises to the top! Congratulations to Sam Apuzzo, former TG, and the best player in college lacrosse!

We shall see!

Tough few weeks for YJ's .

SB and JS lose. JMU wins without any YJ studs. The Teewarten goes to a Top Gun. And Northport falters in a year when it should have been theirs.

Looks like it will be Liberty girls against YJ girls - should be interesting

So, politics is okay when it helps your daughter make a team but if politics plays a role in another player receiving an MVP award it is ridiculous?

We shall see![/quote

Outside of the D game all the other games are going to to be closely contested. All the teams that are playing are all capable of beating each other on any given day. Regardless of who they play for over the summer, YJ, TG, Liberty, or Elevate, they are all really good lacrosse players.

Good luck to all girls!!!!!

You really are a loser. "Their player's competition on the recruiting circuit " may be the funniest thing I have seen. Don't know all of the coaches but here are some factual examples of why what you are saying is nonsense. Maloney , well of the 5 players who went to the tryout from Mattituck it looks like 2 made a team, as Mattituck is a decent team not exactly taking care of his own. Steve Levy , well his own child was cut from any team and she is easily good enough to play so again taking care of his own seems like nonsense. Bergman , again had none of her players on the top team and had one who was on top team last year but team 3 this year , again does not seem like taking care of her own. Carro had 1 of his YJ players on top team which honestly seems low for 1 of the if not the top 2019 team on LI.
There are a lot more examples but convincing people that have kids that were cut that politics may come into play its not all politics is impossible.

Most of those coaches were not at tryouts. They had different coaches at tryouts.

Fear the Bee no more

Nobody feared her in the first place. And it was WM year to get it.

CSH parents classy? some of the most obnoxious people that you would ever see at lax game, I've seen many a melt down over the years and btw Wantagh lax is a joke

not s surprise, there's only one ball and a bunch of me first kids/parents, Northport hotel rooms upstate are no available!

Why you losers make this a YJ ,TG thing other than an inferiority complex. When Murphy and Ohmiller were setting NCAA records were people on here praising YJ . Honestly do you really want to compare former players from each club and how successful they are in college. Congrats to Apuzzo , congrats to Mattituck, Sinai, ESM, WI .

You are correct, it is impossible. Many parents are delusional and have no idea what they are talking about. If you brought in the coaches from Maryland , North Carolina , Boston College, James Madison , Princeton , Towson, Stony Brook, Florida, Navy and Northwestern to evaluate the crazy parents would still cry foul when their daughter didn't make the team. Don't you know they get it wrong all the time .

Let me guess, it was the WM coach’s fault?
YJ is in the same exact position today as they were 5 years ago, 10 years ago... they without question, field the best teams from LI, top teams are top1-5 in the nation, competing mainly with the MD teams. Same as always.

Is there only an All County Dinner this year for high schol girls?

Cold Spring Harbor 13 - Mt. Sinai 12 in 2 OT

Awards dinner are for All American, HM All American, All County , HM All County & All Conference

On a side note;
Does anyone know how The fl$ Girls Showcase was today and how many Colleges were there (x amount of D1, x # of D2 & x # of D3)? I heard they use to get 320+ kids but they only had 230? Can Anyone provide insight?
Thanks

Anyone know about the Mattituck/CP game and the Massapequa/WI game?

Mattituck/WI/Manhasset

West Islip WON 6-5 in DOUBLE OT

Manhasset WON 11-10 in DOUBLE OT

CSH WON in DOUBLE OT

and Mattituck blew out CP - no surprise there 16-5 (they need to do something about the D conference as Nassau will never be competitive there

Mattituck won easily. West islip won in 2OT, 6-5

As I said, couldn’t have asked for any closer games than 3 double overtime games. Some great athletes on the field yesterday. Too bad those games were just to get off the island. Good luck to those going to states and hats off to those that came so close. You had great seasons.

Both Under Armour and School Girls are excellent events but Under Armour is more competitive. My older daughter played in both tournaments and the level of play at the Under Armour Underclass event was much
higher and the competition was more intense (At the time UA Underclass had only one division). It was by far the most competitive High School lacrosse games my daughter played in.

Was the selection process perfect? No, there were a few girls left off the roster who were just as strong as the girls who made the team but there were no girls (that made it) who didn't belong on the team. 22 of the 24 girls on that team just completed there freshman or sophomore year in college (two are still in HS). The large majority of those girls are excelling at the college level at many of the top programs (Stony Brook, Florida, North Carolina, Penn State, Syracuse, Richmond, USC, UMass). I believe a few have been working through injuries.

The complainers can whine all they want about politics and how the selection process is rigged but the results do not lie. For the most part, the players who are selected to these teams are also the same players who were offered spots by the best college programs and many more times than not those players go on to star at their respective schools.

Some parents will always have an excuse as to why their daughter wasn't selected or recognized or why they didn't receive offers from Maryland, North Carolina, Northwestern, Boston College etc... There will always be an excuse and they will always say it is all political.
