Whitman will need to win the NP game to make the playoffs I say NP wins by 4 but WW will keep it close to the 4th

Unfortunately no. I was not at the game but last I checked Lacrosse is a team sport so I doubt is was one or two players who were responsible for the loss.
I never called the 9th and 10th graders superstars. What I did was point out that the makeup of this team (in terms of grade and who plays) is no different from recent years. The majority of the playing time goes to seniors and juniors. Did something changed yesterday? Did more than one 9th grader see significant playing time yesterday? How about 10th graders? Did more than two 10th graders see a lot of action? I assume it was the same as it has been.

9th - 1
10th - 2
11th - 5 - 6
12th - 5 - 7

I do not agree with it but that is the way it has been at Ward Melville for several years.

Are there players on the sideline who are just as good or better than the players on the field? Yes there are. That has been happening for a while as well but it does not mean that the players who are lucky enough to play are not good.

I can not elaborate on the game management but I will say that players need to play until the final whistle. I am sure the coach did not tell the boys to stop playing defense.

You are what your recodr says you are!! Doubtful that the whitman def can hold down northport.

That's Funny NP only has a couple kids that can score, and coach Blew it with Goalie that quit. NP going no Where

Truly special does not account for weak rpand or thin ranks...thus not all freshmen on varsity are special at all. Some are just filling a void.

Schools like SA's, Chaminade, GC and others don't bring very well qualified or even committed freshman to varsity.

They have plenty of talent and can afford to let their truly special players in the 9th and 10th grade continue to mature and not necessarily rob the cradle.

If you weren't there then why are you commenting. Unless of course you get the play by play form the coaches that you have on speed dial. It is all clear to me now.

Commack beat Floyd by more. Give me a break.

NP 14 Floyd 13
Whitman 15 Floyd 1

Well see what happens when they match up.

A lot of these high school coaches have an agenda. They want to bring up a freshman so they will get all the praise if the player actually pans out to be something special. Some of these programs are more like jv teams with a few juniors and seniors sprinkled in among the 13 and 14 year olds playing varsity. Does not usually work. These players need to develop on the jv team with the exception of the few that are truly special.

Whitman better watch out for west bab- We are going to be ready For them

What you should have said is NP might need to beat WW to make the playoffs, last three games for NP are West, East and WW

2 guaranteed losses, and WW is looking pretty good

News just in from the lowest of the low department...just to make the point that obsessed narcissist former head coach and parent from Smithtown West made a scene yesterday after the 15-3 win yesterday against Middle country. The dad ran down from the press box (where he announces the game) and is overheard by many people arguing and debating with his son's own coaches to politic for an "extra" assist to give his son yet another stat for the record book so he can "beat Rob Pannell's record of 11 points in a game. The score was 10-2 at the half...You must be very proud!

He's also probably not Happy to be in 2nd Place in Suffolk in Scoring.

Your Right with Power points NP Might not make it, Wow that would be something. No Votes in NP for coach of the year

Compare the number of college committed kids between Chaminade and Yorktown. The result is a huge surprise any way you look at it. Yorktown, the giant slayer!

If you combined the # of D1 commits between Yorktown and Greenwich I bet it isn't half of what Chaminade has. How on earth do these little town teams embarrass this supposed lax giant? Greenwich is particularly impressive given how much talent in the town goes to Brunswick.

Chaminade kids are politically connected and overrated

Chaminade has a few very talented kids and some good ones. But the team wasnt recruited. It is made up of kids who decided to go to the school and then come out for the lacrosse team. I think being at chaminade gave some of the kids the opportunity to commit to d1 teams. Doesnt mean the team is made up of D1 talent though. You can bet some of those kids will never touch the field at the next level but if they are able to achieve a better education for it more power to them. They play a diff sched and some times you play a team either public or private that just has the right group of kids.

What impact do you think the Chaminade losses (as an example)will have on early recruiting?

If HS programs with a significant number of early recruits on their roster continue to lose to teams made up of kids that have not been early recruited, I think it will force a slow down in the early recruiting trend.

Projecting forward to 2017-2018 it does not bode well for ACC schools which are full of early recruits from the power schools.

we watched him pull the same crap when his older son was playing. after a goal that his kid was involved with he would sprint to the scorers table and tell them assist or goal from #3! It was hysterical watching this especially during playoff games where he was way more focused on insuring his kids got credit for the point than the teams next faceoff! There were also plenty of times when in doubt he would give the assist to his kid. been padding their stats for years.

None - they know they be well-coached and know what they are getting in general from the Chaminades and Delbartons of the world. Coaches don't just take a kid because he went to a certain school.
