Re: Girls High School Lax Anonymous #411209 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A Originally Posted by Anonymous i don't think many teams are outstanding this year. Lots of teams failing to beat teams they should beat with ease by winning by a goal or two or losing to teams behind them. This year it can be anyone who makes it to the championship. All depends on the team that shows up that day. Are you the team that played well against the big guns or are you the team that can barely beat a team that isn't in the playoff standings. It really does seem to be one good game vs one bad game could be the difference. No real clear powerhouses. Very mixed bag of results and games going on right now. It will be interesting to see what teams come out on top Like Reply Quote

I don’t get it. I'm not sure what your point is? The "top" ten teams are placed in Conference one. Next ten in Conference two and so on. It's not perfect, but it avoids lopsided conference games for the most part. And other than a few wacko parents no one in conf 5 that thinks they are good. I don't understand Suffolk honestly. Why have Copiague play Commack? It's just awkward and embarassing and has no value for either team. Why not have top teams all play each other? Like Reply Quote

Re: Girls High School Lax B_O_T_C #411235 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A Originally Posted by Anonymous Can someone explain to me why and how Friends Academy plays in Nassau public conference being a private? Also how is it with 2 returning D1 commits they play in such a weak group. Total sandbagging just to rack up wins and stats. How does a sports governing body allow it? The deal is when playoffs roll around they have to play one classification higher than they normally would, I guess the thought is this negates the advantage of drawing kids from multiple districts. For whatever reason they lobbied to move down to Conference 3. Never should have been allowed, they were fine in two, don't really know why the committee agreed to move them. It's embarrassing.

Totally agree. We played the in conference 3 and they are way above our level. We're not great but our other games have been competitive. Their 2 players dominated and continued to pile it on. Coach has to to better. Maybe they should go back to other league where they belong Like Reply Quote

So, STATS is not a good indicator of picks for All Americans for the HIgh schools That is obviously not a good way to judge the talent. Someone who knows lacrosse needs to actually look at the tough conferences and actual match ups and see stats from the actually good matched up games! At this point it’s all Apples and Oranges.

If you look at the stat point leaders, say top 20. In Nassau, I see 4 of them as AAs. In the Suffolk top 20, I’d say the same. That means the majority of Stat leaders are not actually the best players. Some of the better teams like Manhasset, Massapequa, BB, WM, don’t even have any girls on those lists, but will likely have AAs Yes of course defenders and goalies won’t be on the stats leader board. If you are an offensive player you are measured by your stats and the competition you play. If you are producing against the top competition you are an AA. How do goalies and defenders get on the AA yes so exacctly how do defenders get to be an AA? This doesn't make sense? Who would want to play defense if all it is is about goals? Defense is so important in Lax Like Reply Quote

We need members who really know the game and the LI players. Has to be a group of members from the LI lacrosse community who know the girls from seeing them play over HS career. Need input from every HS coach! Like Reply Quote

We were told the amount of rain was causing drainage problems and there were large pools of water accumulating on the fields, raising a safety issue. Like Reply Quote

Re: Girls High School Lax B_O_T_C #411667 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A Originally Posted by Anonymous Originally Posted by Anonymous Originally Posted by Anonymous Originally Posted by Anonymous Why does Nassau have 5 conferences. It seems like the majority of “varsity” teams are more like a middle school team. Scores are embarrassingly lopsided when up against good competition. Suffolk definitely has some of the same, but Nassau far more. Difference is that in Suffolk, some teams are blown out pretty much every game they play, but in say conference 5 of Nassau, some of the teams actually think they’re good, but never play any good teams. I don’t get it. I'm not sure what your point is? The "top" ten teams are placed in Conference one. Next ten in Conference two and so on. It's not perfect, but it avoids lopsided conference games for the most part. And other than a few wacko parents no one in conf 5 that thinks they are good. I don't understand Suffolk honestly. Why have Copiague play Commack? It's just awkward and embarassing and has no value for either team. Why not have top teams all play each other? Unfortunately the way the girls rules are written one player can dominate a game and make all the difference. I'm not sure what the answer is but girls hs is hard to watch. That’s why the individual STATS thing is a joke! In some of the conferences my grandma could rack up 200 pts!!! So, STATS is not a good indicator of picks for All Americans for the HIgh schools That is obviously not a good way to judge the talent. Someone who knows lacrosse needs to actually look at the tough conferences and actual match ups and see stats from the actually good matched up games! At this point it’s all Apples and Oranges. No comparisons. Newsday and BOTC should list the stats by group so it is apples to apples Like Reply Quote

Re: Girls High School Lax Anonymous #411684 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A Good point. Northport also came within 2 OT and 1 point of losing the LIC to Massapeqa. Massapeqa would have been LI Champ and at the States with Zero AA. And northport the lost with 3 AA. Something smells bad. Like Reply Quote
