We are only a few short months away from our first of the Rising Freshman group to start the recruiting process!! Not sure if this was asked sarcastically or not but from what I've seen of JV this year: Kings Park had a couple of 8th graders who were major contributors. Goalie was great (think he was with Turtles) and big middie (from 91) was the big threat. Miller place had a couple of 8th graders but no-one stood out. Big threat if I remember was a 9th grader from TLI. Glenn had 2 8th graders starting. Both from 91, the defender showed some nice stick work. Sayville has a few 8th graders starting, couple from 91. Middie is taking FO and doing well. Goalie is an 8th grader as is 1 attack and 1 defender. All contribute.

It does not mean there is "No one" within 4 years of "that kid" who can play (there wouldnt be a team) It means, in his program, he can "run with the big boys" I know you will go on with "in the stronger lax towns"... bottom line these kids live where they live & were asked to play where they play. There is no need for anyone to get personal or "Shame on the AD". These kids were asked to play, took the physical & competed physically (as well as emotionally) with the older kids. Not one of the kids/parents have been on here boasting about them. The question was asked how the 8th graders were doing. IDK why you ADULTS feel the need to have to put them down.

Shame on the AD. just read about some girls having an impact at Smithtown East and aboy at Cold Spring that stepped in and is playing very well. I think it is a good way to geed a program in that the players more often get better coaching at that level,and with more and more players playing year round,the middle school rules of 5 quarters and everyone plays for 2 each,seems to be an outdated system.

Anonymous Unregistered A	Actually,no my kid isn't playing up and I asked the question. Everything isn't a conspiracy...I have a legit interest in how the season has been going for some of the players that I have heard were moved up. And guess what,I actually care about it because of a real interest in lacrosse. I am not a crazy self promoting,all about me parent. I love lax and so does my son. We just like to talk it and read about the interseting side of the game...not the BS that too many people concern themself with.

No matter what you say about passing a physical/test to play, its common sense that there's a major risk when a kid who can't bench press his own weight (as only one measure of overall strength) is going up against defensemen who are benching 250-300. I am well aware that this is not football but theres a reason why upperclassmen and college players live in the weightroom - because it does make a huge difference in their competitiveness. 8th or 9th graders simply haven't had that time yet to build their bodies while the kids they are matching up with have. Its purely physics and such a mismatch is asking for trouble. The size and speed of these college bound upperclassmen is unbelievable if you ever get a chance to see them play up close from the sidelines. A serious injury to an 8th or 9th grader because of this mismatch could set the kid back 1 - 2 years. Worth it?

Anonymous Unregistered A	Could it set the kid back, let's say, 3 months, or for good? I guess that an injury could. Many things can actually kill you, such as riding a bike, crossing the road, going into a school, or decaying on the web, as we are here. Being the best player on any team is guaranteed to set, or hold you back. I hope that those kids whom you are so envious of continue to try as hard at what they do, as you do at what you do!

"Common sense" is... these 8th graders HAVE "seen" them up close (they've played with/against them all season) Thank you for your "concern" but, I can guarantee you the decision for the kids to play where they are was WELL thought out by the the coaches, the players, the parents, & the AD. Their size, ability, maturity was ALL taken into consideration.

I don't think that the intention was to utilize these kids as weapons. I think that the coaches may have seen something exceptional, and was hoping to nurture it, harvest it. Pace a kid with older and better kids for more years. Simple theory. Not all kids can run with the older bunch, while these kids can, I guess. Heck, I guess somebody thinks so. It just wreaks of pure envy, the statement about hardly making an impact. First, the goal may have been more long term. But secondly, and more importantly, do you even care a little bit about disguising the hate? I would think that you could put a smidge more effort into that! Wish these kids well, although it is certain that you don't. That thought process is going to eat you up, and maybe even effect your own situation!

I have a 2019 Nassau kid want to know if we will be denied once he's an 8th grader.

Below are a few more Nassau players who have played HS lacrosse this year and all excelled. Cold Spring Habor HS- two players ( attack and mid) Attack was starter Mineola HS- two players on (mid and Dman) D was starter Plainedge HS- one player (Dman) starter Wantagh HS - one player (attack) Friends Acd- three players (2 Dman, mid) all three starters The messed up thing IMO is that many of the Nassau players mentioned are NOT going to their public school which is wrong of their town HS programs & parents allow the player to take a spot from someone who isn't going to Chaminade or St Ant's next season!

That should have nothing to do with the decision for a public middle school.That would not be fair because things happen and peoples lives and decisions change. If a kid is good enough parents and coaches agree and he/she passes the physical tests,so be it and good luck. On the flip side, maybe by including this player he may decide to not leave his current district. It could work both ways
