Smithtown East Vs West Islip in the County Finals.
Smithtown East by 5
Threepeat.
All that matters is the State hardware. Nobody cares if it ends at the county. Last years' expectations were off the charts and it finished as a huge disappointment despite taking the county.
Looking forward not back. I don't think expectations were too high, thought by many to win the county (and won). Not many people thought they would beat Nassau (Syosset or Massapequa). Smithtown East returns some talent and they might just win the county championship again. Massapequa and Syosset are not as strong as last year so Suffolk Champ will have a better chance of getting off the Island.
Smithtown East is the favorite again. I'm not sure who will challenge. As you implied in your post, winning the County Championship is not much of an accomplishment. It's a weak league without a lot of competition and nobody cares who wins it. Only two or three teams have a shot (maybe 4). If I had to guess I would say:
1. Smithtown East
2. West Islip
3. Northport
4. Connetquot
