As usual, this is a 3 maybe 4 team league. This could be another weak field like 2013 with only 1 or 2 strong teams. Smithtown East is the clear favorite but someone could surprise them. Not sure who will step up. Northport? Do they have another fogo? Melville? I think they lost a lot more than the 2 mentioned. SW? I don't think so. WI? Is this the year they make it back to the county finals? Sachem North? do they have the depth?
Odds are Smithtown East makes it 3 in a row. With the exception of West Islip do any of the other teams have good coaching? Without a bunch of studs I think Craig and the WI staff are the only ones who might have a chance.
Amazed by the lack of respect for Connetquot, even after last year.
Conn. had a great season last year, no doubt; but, replicating great seasons are difficult to do in town that don't foster a lax culture. Most of the towns that are discussed have serious offseason programs and great coaching. IMO, Conn has neither. Their success is a product of a handful of very good players coached by their travel teams.
