This is certainly the case for Manhasset, less true for Garden City.

Sadly lots of folks fleeing LI in general. Can't blame them, taxes and commutes stifling, no quality of life. My kids could never afford to live on LI. I'll follow my college bound kid to Florida and never look back.

Again, one year does not a tradition make. Schreiber is having a good season, let's see how it translates and again, it's ONE year.

It's not about people fleeing the area, it's that Asians from Queens are moving to Manhasset. The town and school district will much more closely resemble Great Neck South than Garden City in fifteen or so years, which doesn't bode well for any of the sports teams.

A lacrosse Pearl Harbor, if you will?

The last two posts. Sad...just sad. Be better than that.

Take a deep breath, your guy won the Presidency and Schreiber is the pearl of Nassau lacrosse!

the first of the two was about the reality of changing demographics, why does the truth make you sad?

Why are you such a lost??

Same reason as yours.

Because it is racist and the person that posted it is oblivious to that or just a straight up racist.

Let’s give the person the benefit of doubt and say he/she was unaware. Let’s move on from this topic.

Does GC upset Manhasset tomorrow.

Schreiber is the best team in Nassau. Dismantled Rockville Centre.

You are right we should move on and talk about a great game. However oblivious means lacks awareness and why should someone get a pass for ingnorance. That individual should also know the original "demographic" for Lacrosse is Native American .

Totally agree, hard to move on from such an ignorant poster! They don’t deserve a pass. Just because “his guy” the bloated, ignorant, racist, sexist, orange man didn’t win, he should chill. Doesn’t change the fact Schreiber is better at Lacrosse than “his team”! I guess, just stinks being a lost all around.

No

Can we Get back to lacrosse discussion ? Let the scores and game outcomes be the determining factor on what team is the best. Still to be determined. Relax and enjoy some good lacrosse people. Be happy the kids are getting to play.

It's funny to me that your kid plays a white privilege sport and you're calling people racist. Pot, meet kettle.

It isn't racist to understand that Manhasset's demographics have been changing significantly over the past decade or two, and that the new residents care more about Kumon than lacrosse.

Maybe they'll have a good fencing team (LOL) in fifteen years, but I wouldn't bet on them in the Woodstick. Pretending this isn't the case might make you nerds feel better but it won't change reality.

Aren’t you forgetting about the Manhasset kids (really the parents) that choose private school over public school when they get to the high school level?

Can you share your rationale? Cause screaming racist twice in one sentence doesn’t make it so.
People with a strong appreciation for lacrosse are aging out or moving away and being replaced by younger families from NYC or from areas with little to no history of lacrosse. Saying they should assimilate and learn the game might be racist but no one is saying that. The shifting demographic is the natural evolution that occurs everywhere, it might hurt lax but it strengthens the community in other areas. Diversity is good, right?

Nah lacrosse is just a great game. You are just proving my point about the previous poster.

How is discussing demographics racist? If a town has a certain make-up that does not emphasize one activity over another the participation in that activity will go down. This is why your seeing the increasing popularity of lacrosse in non-traditional areas like Florida and Texas. As more ex-NYers move out of state they bring the game with them.

Manhasset is still undefeated. Ranked 17th best high school in NY. That is reality. Nerds good at lacrosse and smart achievers. Yeah thats terrible.

SyoLax, who's your Daddy?

Sure. The 1st post was using racist stereotyping if you look at it. The second post was a racist joke. The demographics discussion is accurate.

I’m not woke enough to even begin to fathom how this is racist or even wrong.

FLG FOOLS ALWAYS PUMP GC TRASH DEFENSE..

NOPE

But you’re a stunad because clearly the admins removed the disgraceful post. I hope the person that wrote it thinks twice. While anonymity makes people brazen, it is still easy to shut down a certain IP address.

Does anyone know the score of the Syosset/Cold Spring Harbor game.

CSH over Syosset in ot. 11-10 I think...

Thx

Shameless Elitist that buy there kids headlines.

What is this nonsense. If you don’t like rich people you should probably play baseball. Because lacrosse is a rich kids sport.

Does anyone else see the errors in the reporting of scores and stats to newsday or lilj. Some of the numbers are fantasy. Finals scores usually accurate but stats are way off (assists, saves). Some scorers tables have HS kids and admins with no knowledge of the game. I have an attack and goalie playing and some stats are not even close. These results are often looked at by scouts and hurt potential recruits. Anyone else have thoughts on this.

Yes, this has gone on forever! Good luck getting it fixed! But wouldn't worry too much. In the long run everyone knows who the best players are!

Would not worry too much about it. College coaches do not do their recruiting by looking at Newsday Stats. I believe the winning coach is responsible for notifying Newsday of the score and the statistics. Also, college coaches do not really recruit at HS games. You will see College coaches at HS playoff games once the college season is over. Unfortunately, many times the coaches are there to watch and support the players that have already committed.

LILJ is the bible for Lacrosse recruiting on LI..
