Last time GC won a state championship was 2012 …. not so long ago. Before that it was something like 5 or 6 in a row. Garden City plays in one of the toughest divisions in the country during the year and plays an incredibly tough schedule all year, never shying away from a top ranked school. Having to get past Manhasset and Wantagh the last few years has been tough … both are/were top ranked teams with top ranked/recruited players. On any day, either team could have won. Case in point, the Wantagh Manhasset semi final game this year. Wantagh was 10 seconds away from a W, but one mistake cost them the game. Give Manhasset credit, they capitalized on that mistake and turned the game around and won. Manhasset then clawed back to tie GC in the final. It could have gone either way. All three teams have GREAT players. Only one team wins. This year it was GC, they proved to be the best, next year it could be different. Stop trying to find an excuse other than GC was better.
