Piranah's went with the 13 kids from their team that showed up, Woodstick recruited 6 to 8 kids from 91 Extreme, 3-4 kids from Express A team, Kids from Smithtown and just about everywhere else on Long Island. Woodstick end ended up with 23-25 kids. 7th/8thgrade division is supposed to be 8vs8 on small sided field. This game mysteriously was played10 vs 10 full field. The Woodstick team was provided with Sports Hub pinnies instead of their usual Woodstick pinnies because of all of the ringers. You can imagine the results.

Way to go Manhasset and Garden city. You name your winter team after one of the most famous events in high school lacrosse. An event that has been the hallmark of sportsmanship for over 50 years. You then show no sportsmanship by recruiting a team of ringers to play in a meaningless winter lacrosse game!



I watched half of this game waiting for the next game and it was ugly! It was like a varsity team against a 7th grade team in terms of talent. Nobody benefits from games like that.
