Really?? There are great athletes all over the Island.... How do you explain year in and year out success of the top public school lax programs ( manhasset, gc, wm, csh...)??
Spoiler alert: clearly it's not because those towns (manhasset,gc,wm,csh) have the best althletes
Coaching, coaching, coaching...
... Any of the forementioned school's coach would salivate given the D1 talent at a place like Northport
More of a factor than coaching is the strength of the youth programs that feed the top High School programs. All of the HS powerhouses have great youth programs that introduce the game early and develop players way before HS. Drive by the fields in the communities of the top HS programs and you will see the bustle of activity on any given day.
