Now that the club season is over for most (Besides kids that are on national) I want to drop a pre-season Section 1 top-ten list
1. Rye - 5 high-level D1 commits, kept it close with Manhasset in the state semis without losing much going into this year. 2. Yorktown - Whole D1 defense returns, a bunch of very good offensive pieces back from last year. Goalie is exceptional. 3. Pleasantville - A smaller school but the whole team from last year returns after going 19-2. Can the role players take a step? 4. John Jay - Very good senior class but it's do or die. After this year it's a rebuild. The offense is good but can they get stops? 5. Scarsdale - FOGO is gone but there is still lots of talent left on the roster. They are well-coached but do they have the firepower? 6. Mamaroneck - I want to put them over Scaradale but I can't until they can take them down on the biggest stage. Lots of depth. 7. Somers - Underachieved last year. Should be hungry with a new coaching staff. Championship experience gained from football. 8. Horace Greeley - Whole team returns from last year. Need to see them against good comp. Talented, but are they well-coached? 9. Mahopac - Always a gritty bunch. They lose some firepower but are still a team you'd rather not see come playoffs. 10. Bronxville - Anchored by the best goalie in Section 1. Lots lost to graduation but there is always talent. Haldane is coming for them...
