That's right-the Generals physically took matters in their own hands and smacked the Dragons ack to the orhe side of the turnpike. Gonna be a good years fellas!!

I am curious if an IVY or Better D1 school who a 2015 kid verbally commits to and does not do well on their SAT will accept that school them? Are their any actual cases out there with experiences like this or similar? Please respond. Thanks.

Ivy's do not verbally commit, they commit to the admissions process and they are told exactly what they need to score on SAT and or ACT's as well as taking a difficult schedule through senior year - every year kids that had "verbally committed" early do not get accepted.

Most Ivy League coaches will have a very limited number (four or less) golden tickets which allows the coach to have a candidate accepted on the coach's work based on pure athletics.

While you might see this as a complete waiver of academic requirements, the candidate still must pass admissions albeit against a slighly relaxed set of standards. To be more specific, one Ivy League soccer coach in the New England area indicated off the record that an SAT I two-way score of 1280 would clear admissions with a golden ticket although normally a 1400+ would be expected. As we said earlier, a college coach also does not want to set-up a student-athlete for failure in the classroom, particularly in non-revenue generating sports.

The other item of note with Ivy League schools is the "likely letter". Generally targeted at athletes, the "likely letter" is a preadmission commitment from the institution that the student-athlete will likely be accepted with continued academic performance and athletic support from the coach.

Thank You One just wonders how much more flexible schools are for the Revenue Generating Sports.

Wantagh scored nine in the second half against Mamaroneck in a comeback victory.

The Smithtown East game with Port Washington was cancelled following the tragic death of a Smithtown East student from Nesconset.

isn't it strange how not one of the games were close in terms of scores??

If you dont have a game this week are you practicing, everyday, is your JV practicing to protect the future years. It is a shame to hear how many are not out there practicing or even running as a team. This is where you need to work hard, bith coachs and players (JV and Varsity).

Didn't see any score on the Lasalle Vs Garden City, you guys on the Island only post wins? You had every score posted but the Garden City Loss to Lasalle High School.. 7-4

Thanks very much for the update. You will notice that our posting time was 3:22pm on Saturday while the Garden City Saturday match did not start until 2:00pm. BOTC did not receive any scoring reports on this match until we saw your note from Pennsylvania. Again, thank you for the update and welcome to the BOTC Community!

How many of the MD kids were of legal drinking age??? LOL

St. Anthony's over Immaculata, 9-4

Highlights

Malverne/East Rockaway outscored West Hempstead, 4-0 in the fourth period, for their win.

MD, PA, same story.

Garden City seems shaky on this front.

It's a double standard for lacrosse players. Do you think the the football and basketball players are being held to the same lofty standards for admissions at many of these colleges??? Ivies and a few high profile schools, maybe. Many others, no way!!

I am sure at Duke the hoops players are held to those standards. You commit and you have to keep grades up. This will happen again be sure

Double standard is the wrong phrase. Football and basketball both have national exposure and for some universities are money making businesses which generate hard income for the university in addition to driving alumni donations.

Given that there is not a lacrosse team in the country that is a money making entity for their associated university, you will start to understand why there is a "double standard". Basically, why lower standards and lose money at the same time? The discussion is actually that simple.

Agreed. Revenue vs. non-revenue. Iverson @ G'town? Only in bizarro land.

What about yesterdays Pequa vs Wantagh game? Who won?

Do not know how we missed this game as it was one of the day's top matches. In the end, Massapequa defeated Wantagh, 16-6. The Chiefs scored eight goals in both halves which does not tell the full story - Massapequa exploded in the fourth quarter scoring all eight second half goals in that stanza. Heading into the fourth, the score was 8-4 and Wantagh was never really "in" the match.

St Anthony's vs Delbarton in half hour. Can be seen on MSG Varsity. first real test for the Friars. Should tell us where they really are at for 2013
