I am not from ward Melville , but how is SE ranked over them, SE has choked the lastc2 years WM has not.because one kid dad on SE?
Every year HS teams must re-load but to think schools like SE, Syosset , LV can replace some of those lost pieces is insane. SE lost the best HS FO in the country and Syosset a HS top 5 attackman in the country. Those 2 have proven their merit on the national stage as well as the 2017 college season. It's possible they can be successful but in the words of Coach Boone " you can't replace a Gerry Bertier , next question". Titans did win ( in the movie , in real life Bertier gets paralyzed after the Championship) but w/o guys like that you need a great coaching job and real team chemistry.
Public High School teams can't "re-load".... they can just pull from who attends the school. Larger districts like, Syosset, Smithtown & Massapequa have a little more of the ability to back-fill talented seniors who graduate due to the size of the districts. There are a lot more players that you have access to....but there is no recruiting to re-load.
Much more difficult for the smaller districts to do this given the numbers in the district
re-load is a term for inserting players to replace departing players - ( they don't re-build, they re-load) and it is used in HS, College and Pro sports just to indicate that some teams never seem to have down (re-building) years they always re-load and are competitive, on LI I would say traditionally the public school teams that re-load year after year are GC, MANH, WI, WM and CSH - they all seem to stay competitive year after year while other teams have great peak years ( FARM, MASS, SYO, SE, SW and Friends) but mix those years with off or rebuilding years.
I agree about the larger schools having a bigger talent pool but I really think that it is more about tradition and youth programs otherwise you can not explain how CSH is competitive every year while much larger schools are not.
