Hahahaha...would be blown out by pretty much every other team on LI. Enjoy living in your bubble, but don't pretend to be something that your not. Your in the PAL B division, your "stats" are meaningless.

Playing nobody gets you nowhere and no respect. Nothing else to say.

Is Floyd an upcoming team or a flash in the pan?

This year the reffing quality is at an all time low, likely leading to frustration on all ends (players, parents coaches and refs). When the refs start to lose control the girls get frustrated and start taking shots at each other. With Covid and the condensed season (frequent games) the ref numbers are spread thin, causing many new and JV refs (with little experience) to be brought up to ref important games that are usually assigned to the more experienced refs. The speed on the game overwhelms the less experienced ref. and they lose control or the game. Also I have witnessed many of these inexperienced refs being overly sensitive to moans and groans that veteran refs ignore (not referring to the outright comments because those are unnecessary, but the moans ("What" and "Awe" and "Man') the crowds make when a questionable call is made) , and getting the refs are getting flustered very easily and their inexperience shows even more. The parents who outright say stuff need to stop, and the refs need to grow a thicker skin as well. You never see the Maureen (Blonde ref) lose her cool or allow spectators get her flustered. Others need to follow her lead.

Last night the RP coach was yapping at the refs about what he thought was a missed call and Maureen (pretty sure it was her) decided that was a good time to call an RP girl for wearing something on her wrist and they had to turn the ball over. Got her point across without having to say a word and shut him up for a while. Had to laugh.

[quote=Anonymous]I have watched a lot of lacrosse over the years and Floyd may have one of the best all around players in the county, maybe Long Island. The kid dominated us and was a pleasure to watch even though we lost. As long as that kid is on the field Floyd has a chance to win any game.

Was she on the field against Northport?

Stats can be very misleading. A player needs to pass the eye test. Some teams will have a player or two that jump out at you watching the game. They show off speed, quickness, athleticism, grit, hustle, IQ, skill and typically are accompanied with good stat lines. Top players jump off the page in a game, just watching them, the eye test. I will not identify teams or players, but not all of current stat leaders pass the simple eye test watching them play. Some of the opponents are so over matched, an average player versing these weak teams can rack up a months worth of points in a single game. Some teams play a ridiculously tough schedule and points are impossible to come by, and other teams play ridiculously weak schedule and points are for the taking. Add in strong teams need to share the ball among several strong players. Wanna know who the top players are? Do not look at the stats, look at the college commitments, the college coaches have done the work for you.

What grade is she in?

If you are not her parent it is troubling that you are following her box scores as closely as you are.

Who has the best chance to beat Bayport this season? Or will they run the table?

Not sure, I believe she is young. Maybe 9th grade.

“Somewhat competitive” SWR beat CM and their 8 college commits 16-8.

Let’s stop the stat talk.

At the beginning of the season the answer would have been sayvile, but they lost their two top juniors offensively for the season, talented team but do not have the depth to deal with that loss of players.
Never count Mt Sanai out, I know they had their butts handed to them by bayport regular season, Although Mt Sinai is a down year, Bert always finds a way to compete with Bayport.

And SWR played a field player in goal! Goalies is away

Maybe SWR will quiet down when CM has secured a county spot and SWR is clearly struggling more than they have in years past, and is not officially in counties yet!

SWR parents will never quiet down.
