The top boys mostly will go to one of these 2 schools. Not too many top college commitments come from many other schools on LI. Maybe GC, Manhasset, Smithtown. If you;re not in these districts, and you have a chance at top college, most likely you're going to St. A or Cham.

I am going to have a tough conversation with my 8th grader tonight, not going to Cham, St A, GC, Man or Smithtown so D1 dream is unrealistic. I wonder Why Ward Melville, Massapegua, Syosset, West Islip, Cold Spring Harbor, Farmingdale and the others even bother fielding a team?

Ward Melvile??? No need to go private, plenty of great commitments coming from public schools!

Just because somebody makes a silly statement - better to ignore. ~ 14% of Long Island HS lax players - play D1. And I believe the highest ranked recruit came from SWR last year.

Lot's of top kids don't go to St A or Chammy, many good lax schools on li...

That's a ridiculous, silly statement. PLENTY of other High Schools on Long Island send kids to the top Div. 1 lacrosse schools. Just look at the list of commitments in the 2016 and 2017 classes. Pequa, Melville, West Islip, Sachem, Northport, CSH, Syosset etc.

Wonder if there are still any hard feelings about that split to 91 a few years back.

News flash. We don't send our kids to those schools for lacrosse.

News Flash.....YES YOU DO!!!

It is called education through faith. Obviously foreign to you.

Obviously your son is not a “top player”…

Farmingdale also

What towns have produced the "best" college players over the last 10 years?

Does anyone want to take a shot at this?

Looking to see if there is a town that is producing kids that "stand out" at the D-1 level.

All American, All Conference or North South honors.

Towns that come to mind are:

Garden City
Manhasset
West Islip
Cold Spring Harbor
Smithtown
Syosset
Massapequa

I think that Chaminade and St Anthony's have put out the most but what towns are the players from?

West Islip has had a few AA's in D-1 since 2004. Justin Turri -Duke 2011, 2012 honorable Mention, Ryan Flanagan- N.Carolina 2011,2010,2009, Nick Galasso - N.Carolina 2011, Brian Caufield-Albany 2009 (HM). Christian Scuderi-Hofstra 2009 (HM) also D2 AA at NYIT in 2007,2008. A few more D2 AA's were Albert Maione-Molloy 2009, Matt Sullivan-NYIT 2010, Eddie Plompen- CW Post 2011. Turri, Flanagan,Caufield, Maione and Scuderi all play or played in MLL. Andrew Hodgson-Towson was All-CAA in 2013 and is presently a senior. Ian Braddish - Hofstra was 1st team All-CAA in 2011. Mike Sagl-Quinnipiac was 2nd team All-NEC in 2013. Drew Federico-Fairfield was All-ECAC rookie in 2012 as was Bryan Badalato at Sacred Heart, presently at Marquette. Pete Mezzanotte-Towson was USILA North-South All-Star in 2011 and currently plays for Denver Outlaws in MLL. That is all I can think of now, I may have missed somebody. there will be others.

go for it, try and spell his name.....and I don't mean Ryan

Thank you West Islip.

5 D1 All Americans

4 D1 All Conference

1 North South player.

That is an impressive list. What other towns have produced high caliber D1 players?

Pretty good evidence that proved something we all knew. Talent comes from everywhere on the island. So no need to go to one of the LI Catholics for lax - like it was suggested.

Agreed, save your money and stay public, much better quality teachers and education plus some of the best lax programs in the country!

Who cares if your an All American. What about getting into and going to college. That's really what's important here. Getting a law degree from Gtown isn't so shabby. Even if u barely step on the field.
