Wantagh girls swinging sticks in the last 30 seconds of the game. No calls made, just bad sportsmanship.

Watched all three games lots of bad calls or no calls in all three games. Sitting in front of the computer you see many things you do t generally see on sidelines...head shots, loose strings getting tightened, pushing, the refs can't be everywhere but they should be paying a little more attention those refs are supposed to be the top ones. Congrats to all who played yesterday for making it that far and good luck in states to those who won!!

I wonder why they were swinging their sticks in the last 30 seconds..could it be they were down a goal and in desperation they were trying to get the ball back? Seriously that is a stupid comment...great job ESM you played great and deserved the win

I posted last year how the Yellow Jacket Class of 2013 did in terms of playing time with their respective college teams. Now that 2015 has passed by the class is now two years into their college careers. the following is my non-scientific findings. Remember this is not a test of quality but how each girl has impacted the playing time for their restive teams. This covers D1, D2 and D3.

I have four categories: Impact (played in almost all games), Played (played in a significant number of games), Not Significant (played in a handful of games) and Did Not Play (had no statistics for team they committed to; I also checked to see if playing for a different school).

A refresher of last years numbers:

Impact: 30 or 45%
Played: 7 or 11%
Not Significant: 24 or 36%
Did Not Play: 5 or 8%

2015 Numbers

Impact: 37 or 56%
Played: 8 or 12%
Not Significant: 8 or 12%
Did Not Play: 13 or 20%

33 players stayed at the same level, 14 saw less playing time, 19 saw more.

These are very good numbers. The average drop rate for D1 is 55% (players who do not stay on the roster for four years). Still, there was a significant number of girls who no longer play (or may red shirt if they changed schools). Check the thread out in a year to see how the class is doing!

(I'm going to post this on other threads as well)

Just curious....who submits names for Top 150 girls lax players on LI because they definitely got it wrong at our HS! Just in case your wondering- Suffolk Division 1 school

Most of list is right, some of the fringe is off meaningless stat building on bad teams and your summer affiliation because if you play for the ABC club team you must be good.

I absolutely agree most of the list is correct. I was just wondering if it was submitted by your HS coaches because the girls chosen from daughters HS should not have been on list over other girls

Our HS coach mentioned that he was contacted by Newsday and he provided names.

Maybe that Nassau Super League which I like takes a toll on all the teams competing in it? Every game is difficult does it prepare you better or do you get beat up physically over the course of the season? How do you get your subs playing time when every game is tough ? It seemed like the Class A Nassau teams took the biggest beating and it showed in the LIC. Any thoughts?

But the alternative is play in B and win all your league games by 10 playing a deeper bench, lose all your non conference games and then get bounced in the playoffs 1st round

The rest of the state would have to follow that format for it to work.

west Islip and ESM

Thank you. That is what I thought. Disappointed the coach can not be truthful about her seniors level of play.

Yes obviously they set their playoffs up on enrollment A, B,C then follow the rest of the state throughout the playoffs. I'm pretty sure but not positive that all the schools in the super conference make their respective playoffs can someone who knows for sure answer that. Lacrosse ability has nothing to do with enrollment numbers on Long Island the small schools in both boys and girls are competitive throughout the conferences as well as the state. We should all be very proud of our children they make it happen. And as parents we are pretty good at letting everyone else know how good we are. That's where the problems stem from!

WI - no 7th graders, no 8th graders & no 9th graders - that's how you build a program

Thank you Bald Bear! The 55% number for D1 players not staying on roster ... Where does that statistic come from? Thanks this is very interesting!

Except for the past several years when they did have them playing varsity which made those kids better players and made your team what it is today . WI will suck in 2 years .

West Islip goalie is a 9th grader. Other 9th graders on the team also but they don't get much time
Should be some great weather in Cortland this weekend!

I'm not a Mount Sinai guy but I caught most of that game & have to applaud the goalie she made a few saves at the end of the game that left you shaking your head simply amazing. Great job kiddo. Some of the best saves I've seen at any level or sport. The officials need to be more on top of the game, both teams played hard and whether or not she pulled the strings she did run about 80 yards and finished. Again why wasn't a stick check called and why wasn't the official watching her? Go ask one of them.
