There are many reasons why parents send their kid to private school. Over the years players from Wantagh, South Side, Massapequa, Syosset, Smithown, Ward melville, Garden City, Manhasset, Huntington, Cold Spring Harbor etc... have all opted to attend private school.


Every year the BS program loses students to the Catholic HS, Nothing new. The district also houses a big catholic school following which naturally funnels players to the catholic HS. Others find the value of a catholic environment and education for the secondary years. Then you have those which throw their hands up by the time they leave the MS.

In relation to Lacrosse it is very unfortunate the district loses (or never had) the top players in each grade. I am not sure this will change in the future. The impact of this affects the numbers and quality of depth. This is evident in their roster size they carry one of the smallest squads on LI. They are definitely one of the schools impacted by the catholic exodus.


loosely based on what I witnessed during the fall tournaments, Bay Shore will field a reasonably strong team this coming season. After speaking with some of their parents, they seem to have a small squad (in numbers) and a young team (only 2 or 3 seniors). Their lefty attackman is a 2020 and off the charts, as big and as athletic and skilled as most seniors, and is reported to be the top lefty, if not the top player in the country in the 2020 year. Unfortunately depending heavily on an 8th grader does not paint a rosy picture for the program in the near future. This kid is also rumored to be heading to St A's or Chaminade next year. Good luck to all in the coming season.
