So it just means my little Shannon isn't good enough?

So it just means my little Shannon isn't good enough?

that's correct. and please go sit with your husband, away from the rest of us, we do not want to hear your negative comments. and how your daughter is not getting the ball enough.

Seems like people are mixing up two different things. There is a list of LI Players to Watch (10 in total from Long Island) and then there is a Key Player on each team list which for Suffolk is close to 200 kids and for Nassau another almost 200 kids. Looks like the key players lists are simply given to Newsday by each coach. I think coaches submit a small number of names for kids that should be on the 10 Players to Watch list and Newsday chooses the final names based on the feedback they get. .

So if your school does not have a "Key Player" on the list, one can assume that the coach has a low opinion of the team. Or, it could simply mean that the coach is not truly committed to the program and does not care enough to submit names. Either way, if a team has no "Key Players", then that team is doomed.

Does any one know of any girls that were left off the Key players in Suffolk List. Just give me a town please. no names

Long Beach looking strong 2-0 leading the power division.

Unfortunately any town that has more than five strong players will have girls left off the list. Newsday is fake news anyway . I cancelled my subscription 25 years ago (I do check HS Football scores on line). I Refuse to check lacrosse stats. HS lax is all BS (with the exception of the few schools that have real coaches). Stats are meaningless because so many of the teams are so weak and many of the players are not athletic. If your daughter is a strong player at a school that has many strong players and was left off the list stay positive. Do not allow a HS coach to crush her confidence.

But what if a HS coach doesn't think any player on his team is worthy of a mention? What kind of message does that send to the players? It tells them that he has no faith in his squad to do anything this season. It tells them that he doesn't consider a single one of them a quality lacrosse player.

Yeah - Mt. Sinai has really struggled running their offense through a few key kids only. One line of attack with multiple weapons sounds much smarter. Hard to believe there is not a drop off in ability after attacker #4.

Manhasset had 2 excellent attackers but now one post the injury. Massapequa dee really wasn't strong. They couldn't do much vs Mt Sinai during the scrimmage on Saturday. sounded like coach babble from their coach.

Have never seen a player put up 14 goals in a game and the fact that she had zero assists and the game was one sided is an absolute embarrassment.

Looks like Newsday isn't the only paper covering the 14 goals from Wheatley!

Congrats to all the LI girls. I am sure they have all worked hard to get there.

[quote=Anonymous]When I see a mention of a defender having a great game, then something like this will have credibility...all article does is reinforce the "go to goal", get mine mentality.....

Defense is minimized in lacrosse so much that ground balls aren't even a stat that is tracked by Newsday only goals and assists.

***it would be nice if they would include that. At lease they count am assist as much as a goal

WB had several girls not mentioned. Coach plays favorites.

We have a few parents video taping our HS games because I would imagine their kids go to goal on the school team 100 times more than they do on their summer teams. Coach doesn't say a word.

Wish we could say the same for Will Cleveland...

What happened to CSH ? Losing to Wantagh
