Unfortunately, the 1st night of UA Tryouts conflicted with both the Nassau County and Suffolk County Lacrosse Awards dinner events. If you look at the Highlight Roster you will see at least 2 All-Americans as well as All-County (mostly 2X all-county) for most other public school kids on the team. As leaders on their respective teams it was important for them to be at these events.

So do you think all of these kids (who are likely the best kids on LI) not be eligible due to the conflict?

Really?


Really - my son had to make a choice based on the rules as presented on the website. He was Honorable Mention All County. He chose the UA tryout and on Thursday, he was saying what a joke it was since there were a bunch of other All County players there for Thursday only.....and then made the team. It's a rule - but only for some!
