That is why they have a single power conference. They take the best 10 teams based upon past performance and expectations regardless of class and they play against each other during the year. Once the playoffs come they go back to their respective class (A, B, C or D) no matter what their record. They are guaranteed the playoffs. CSH had a losing record going into the playoffs but they easily beat Seaford who has a winning record. Out of the (4) C teams left in the playoffs all (3) power conference teams are still alive. Lynbrook is 14-2 on the year and will potentially move into the power conference next year because usually one or two drop out. I would expect Farmingdale to drop, they had a difficult year and they are actually the only power conference team not left in the playoff semi-finals (A conference)


I wish Suffolk would have a power conference but I'm sure it's easier said than done and it would help both the good teams as well as the new or historically weaker programs. How does Nassau put teams in and out of the power conference...I imagine it must be like soccer but there need to be some rules?


Ask Mt. Sinai how much fun it was to play East Hampton, Port Jeff, Hampton Bays etc..... These teams are about as far apart on the spectrum as it gets. It is not good for either team to play in game like this. Yes Suffolk desperately needs the conferences based on ability.


Not sure there are enough strong teams in suffolk to make a power conference. I guess it would be better than current system. Maybe a better solution would be to allow more out of conference games. Not sure why but just like in Nassau, the Smaller schools in suffolk are the better teams. Large schools cant compete with the top smaller schools in Suffolk. Allowing teams to customize their schedule would make for more competitive games for all.
