Not a fan or part of the family? Ok face off daddy. Whatever you say.

You’re really an angered person.

If they combined the Sachem programs back as one they could compete with anyone like they did before the split.

The question is WHY/ Why do you dislike GC? Why does anyone dislike a community? Because they beat your town in a sport? The people who live there are not obnoxious pretentious jerks. So very curious.

It was a great season for Nassau and Suffolk publics. And thankfully it actually happened! The lacrosse was very good. It will never be good enough for the folks that are addicted to travel lacrosse. Those folks are on another level as far as lacrosse and expectations. But overall, it was a great season with great lacrosse. You can detest on the Garden Citys all you want....they know how to win when it counts. Commsewogue was a legit team all year and GC handled them.

Yes Sachem probably would be State champs if combined BUT you can also say that for Smithtown and HHH combined as 1.

Just curious, how many State Championships did those schools win when they were combined ?

Nope, in my opinion coaching isn’t on par with the competition in Suffolk A, but their youth program is well run and that should help with the future.

That’s funny.

When is the last time a LI public beat St. A’s or Cham.? Any LI public’s consistently beat either of these teams? Asking for a guy who played in the 80’s and thinks that’s relevant to something.

Our coach told the players who made county, conference and class. Other than that have seen or heard nothing. Section 8, NYS, and NCLCA all need to step up their websites and reporting. There is literally no information.

Who cares about Public's, Catholic, Private, PG just let the kids play and hopefully every knucklehead dad on here will be proud of their kid whether he plays D-1,2,3 or doesn't play in college. The nonsense here is amazing. You should all want your kids to be happy and get the best education possible. Good luck this summer to the boys...

Just going to put it out there, You don't really think any coaches or school officials are on here, do you?

There are absolutely coaches on this site...

No there isn’t

IF THERE ARE COACHES HERE THE WEST ISLIP COACH SHOULD GO COACH JV !!!!!!!!!!!!!! ALL of there losses came in second half

Why are you bashing the WI Coach? Isn't he somewhat new? West Islip has not been relevant for 10 years or so. Bigger issues than the coach. I will say, their girls coach does an excellent job, one of the best in Suffolk, maybe on The Island.

Seriously? You think anyone cares about JV??

Yes. People do. Specifically people with kids that play JV.

Heard St Johns HS is looking for a new Varsity coach.

About 4/7 years ago Smithtowns had probably the most dominant players that went to D1 but both east and west never made it off the island because of coaching. They breed F/O yr after yr and alot of D1’s .

As we have seen, D-1 commits mean nothing. See Carey HS circa 2021 to validate this.

This could turn into good job if they had the right coach in place to compete with the St. Anthony's and other dominant catholic schools. Not saying there even close to that now, but with the right coaches in place that program could turn into a powerhouse.

FYI Careys D-1 commits were hurt most of the season and the coach does a phenomenal job.

I know 1in 2016 Massapequa lost in OT 12 to11 , 2017 I think it was 7 to 6 to Chaminade.

FYI when their D-1 Commits were on the field it made no difference. Carey had one quality win against PW. The season was a disaster.

Most kids or parents would rather play on a lesser high school team and have the option after high school do go to a good academic d1 college or a better academic school than what they would have got into without playing lacrosse. So in your reply you are focusing on high school team success while the original poster was focused on college placement success. Saying d1 commits means nothing is not fair if college placement is more important to someone than playing for a strong high school team. But I do agree d1 commits mean nothing if you have no depth behind them. Carey did hold there own against GC when in all other years they would have never been close. So in that sense the d1 commits did have at least some meaning.

FYI Not from Carey but have watched their coach do unbelievable things coaching boys over the yrs. Carey beats PW and a very good Southside team, then loses in the county championship to the LI champion. Far from a disaster. Please stop with your nonsense!

Both my kids play JV its no better than PAL. Ask you kid if they cared about the score. You, maybe, them, not so much.

AD is a baseball guy. But he at least he recognized that a change was needed. The program will be on the right track with a new staff that can attract players.

It’s HS lacrosse, the Carey 5 got beat by a team without a single D-1 commit. That says a lot about the quality of the program. This thread is for HS lacrosse. Carey got beat bad by a team without a 2021 D-1 commit. Wishing them well but the program is a disaster if over 50 percent of the team are quality D-1 players and you can’t get past a team with zero D-1 commits. Not sure how the coach is amazing?

Do you have any idea of what the 2021 class went through as far as recruiting. Your ignorance is glowing brightly in this post. Many players who would have gone D1 had to compete against 5th year seniors, and took D2 and D3 spots or reclassed because of COVID. So I wouldn't base anything in 2021 on D1 commits. It was a total poop show for these kids.

Carey had a bunch of D1 commits but no team chemistry

Just to clear up the “ignorance “comment. If you have 5 HS seniors committed to play D-1 lacrosse and can’t beat a team with none it speaks volumes about the program. Secondly, if a HS senior is using the “holdback” excuse he is destined for failure at the next level.

Which is the team that Carey lost to with zero commits? Why all the detest on Carey ? Carey lost to GC in County Final and Beat Southside in 1/4 final. Southside has about 4-5 commits.

The detest comes from a comment back in the spring. Someone said Carey would take down GC because of the 5 D1 commits. Now people are throwing back at them.

Precisely, if you’re going to give out all that detest, write that it’s the end of an era for a successful program and there’s a new sheriff in town, you best back it up. Best team Carey has ever had, they completely underperformed.

They need a club connection.

Need to get Zummo over there

That would be a huge huge positive
