Ward Melville middle schools Gelinas and Murphy played last night. Best game of the year for both teams always.
Murphy won 7-6 with a goal with less than one minute left...
Say what you want about middle school lax, when the tough lax programs play eachother, the lax is as good as any club team.
Thats good to hear, however I think this is the exception rather than the rule. My son plays for a middle school in a strong lax town and the middle school lacrosse is still atrocious. I cant decide whats worse, the coaching, the officiating, or the playing.
It may be good to hear but it is far from accurate. It was a competitive game but the talent does not run so deep. Five or Six boys from each grade are very strong "A" players and could play on one of the top "A" club teams (some do) and there are some who play only for the Three Village town team (who could play for an A club team) but they choose not to. There are other good players but they are not as good as the top kids.
Also, not sure if it was such a good game for the boys who did not get in the game or for the ones who saw very little time. I thought the 5th Q was so that coaches could get all the kids in the game. Didn't see that happen yesterday.
Good Competition, good lacrosse but do not get carried away.
