The Newsday rankings are comical. Smithtown East crushes West Islip yet they are at the bottom of the list and WI remains overrated based on reputation. Really? C'mon man.

The Newsday rankings are comical. St.Anthony's teams in all sports are often ranked higher than they should be, but really who has Smithtown East beaten other than the so-called overrated West Islip team that put them into the top 10 ?

Matches to watch over the remainder of this week :

April 23rd : Northport vs. Ward Melville
April 23rd : Smithtown West vs. West Islip
April 23rd : Syosset vs. Cold Spring Harbor
April 25th : Chaminade vs. St. Ignatius Prep (CA)
April 27th : Yorktown vs. Chaminade
April 27th : Manhasset vs. Garden City (Woodstick Classic)

farmingdale is quiet this year...but I think they will win counties this year, strong team but quiet... lots of talent and young potential on the team watch out for them in 2015-2017 strong 8th grade program as well

Farmingdale has a very strong defense but they can't score or win face offs. Future is bright though with best attack man being a freshman and starting goalie being a sophomore.

Because all these ranking are a joke, the bigger the source the worse they are, look at ESPN or US Lacrosse Mage, way off base.

Wow, what a difference a year makes for GC. From #1 national ranking to not even top 10 on the Island in less than 12 months. Ouch.

The next one to drop off the list is W I

BIG GAME TODAY SYOSSET AT MASSAPEQUA

We all know that GC is better than some of those teams in the top 10

Yeah But we all know if Newsday printed it it must be true.

bigger than Long Beach / Garden City?

stop yelling, you must be from Syosset

Long Beach will take GC. 10-8.

Wow! Have these words ever been spoken (or even quietly considered as even remotely plausible) before? That's what 3 losses will do. Now everybody's jumping in and kicking the bully when he's down. How the mighty have fallen.
