So now your mighty A team probably romps the three manhasset, three Gc etc. teams that are split evenly and still play in the top division. Whats the point of that? (the towns that supported that select division were WM, WI, SWR, CSH, GC, Manhasset, LV and Northport Massapequa). Long Beach, Farmingdale and some other towns with only 1 team or A teams hid in D2...


You know the towns listed ALL supported a Select division or you are speculating?? I am skeptical of my town town's participation in that considering my son is in the age groups mentioned, and their PAL teams were never consistently beating up on anybody before, during , or after this (I don't remember them ever being much above .500), and we never had multiple teams at these age groups (or any others, for that matter).
