I didn't know there was a size for a HS senior... So what was the score of the scrimmage. I assume he scored his goals early and not when the reserves were in

Now, Now there is that green monster showing its face again they were actually scored in the first couple quarters .lol

You're either his dad or his press agent. Once the real games start we'll see. Thanks for the update!

Sorry but the Islip game was a non league game not scrimmage, it counts for stats and it counts for w/l's those counting. No worries North Babylon Brentwood Copaigue William Flyodd are coming up.

Not a NL according to section x1. The next several games don't even feature real lacrosse players, so let's hold off on counting stats till you play a somewhat competitive team. Then we can assess the talent, or lack of.

I didn't know those schools still had lacrosse. Does BS play any good teams all year?

Let's put down 4 programs you obnoxious, stuck up a-holes. I can't speak for Brentwood or Copaigue but North Babylon and William Floyd have some very good players on their teams. I coached against both those teams over the summer and they both had some talented kids and quite a few very good athletes. There are talented kids all over the island. Not just at the traditional high schools. Get over yourselves.

How was that scrimmage? What was the final score?

I apologize ..so they should be able to roll over BS , all they have to do is put one of their half way talented kids on him or one of their top players.. Good luck I can't wait to see the final score

Hey Jealous Dbag, the Islip GAME was a GAME, not a scrimmage. Listed on LAXPOWER and reported on in Newsday. I'm not his press agent, from Bayshore or 91... I do have a '20 kid though. This kid is good and he will continue to be big, very big; always has been--there is no "catching up". He will continue to be talented and bigger. Deal with it... That being said, no idea about the family or the need to commit and announce at this point, but none of my business either...

Go to the Sect XI site go to "Student and fans" header and then click "standings" from the list - click Boys lacrosse.

This is a useful tool going forward.

Agreed, he also has a great mentor upper classman who will help take any pressure off of him. If you don't see stats doesn't mean his play wasn't impactful. We all know good even great play doesn't show on the stat sheet.

Over the past 10 years Floyd has kids who went on to play at Hopkins, Notre Dame, Albany, Stony Brook and Sacred Heart off the top of my head. They also had a bunch of kids be major contributors at DII schools like NY Tech, Post and Dowling. They are not a major program but they have kids who can play. Your comment is stupid.

I don't think the comment was downplaying or pin pointing any particular kids on those teams, rather those teams as a whole. Please look at the records of the schools mentioned they have not had much success in the way of wins and loses. The last few years they had been a part of the bottom 6-8 schools in the league. Last few years many of the top players (from Quot WM Smiths HHHs WI) had their opportunity against these teams which added to their stats. This year interestingly many top teams do not get that chance WM SE and Quot don't play any of them.

History proves playing against these teams you should come away with points. Maybe 18 points per these games. But as they say that is why you play the games. Any team can have a surprising season just as any team can have a disappointing one.

This goes to show you don't have to be a part of a big program to play on the next level, you just need to be able to play. At the same time you cant dispute the better teams consistently do well and avg 10+ goals against you.

Looney's see you are now in the NSCLA is your team playing in Hershey june 18-19

Better lacrosse program....like where? Virginia, hopkins? have the best kids and fail every year. Maybe he wants to go put Penn State in the Finals. And Penn State is a very selective school. At least main campus is. I went to a very high academic patriot league school and was waitlisted at Penn State.

3 of Newsdays top 12 Varsity players to watch this spring are going to Penn State. I'm sure they could have went anywhere they wanted!

Um, Hopkins was in the Final Four last year. Penn State has made the NCAA tournament a grand total of ONE time in the past 10 years, and only 3 times EVER.

I don't begrudge the kid at all for blazing his own path. I'm just saying it's surprising.

Penn State just beat Denver, #1 team, maybe the kids commitment will continue to bring them good luck!

Penn State over Denver 15-10, Denver current national champs, undefeated number #1 ranked team, point being in the current enviornment any given day .......

Good Newsday high school sports piece on sunday 03/27 high lighting one of, if not the top fogo men in the country , and where is he heading to college , Penn State. Maybe these long Island elite recruits and the school actually have a plan.

Challenge to all LI 2020 teams. Madlax 2020 is not playing in a league this year. Ample opportunities for your teams to come down to beautiful DC and play one of the best 2020 teams in the nation.

Any of you tough enough to take the challenge?

One of the best teams that's a good joke. If they're so good why aren't they playing in hoco

Would this be the MadLax team that lost 10-0 to Looney's in November, just trying to level set...

Why would anyone travel 5 hours to play a mediocre at best team when they have much better competition in LI, NJ and Philly.

Why don't you drive 5 hours north up to NY and I'm sure many teams would love to play you.

They also lost at Hopkins tournament a couple of weeks ago. They are a middle of the road team.

We were missing a ton of guys. We've also added a bunch of studs.

You guys are tough on the Internet but not so tough on the field.

Always an excuse, don't have to be tough on the Internet or the field because 2020 Madhatters are just terrible. Any wimpy squad can whip them!

Ok, should your club coach really brag about your stats when you play a very lower level team. Why don't we wait to brag till you reach a contender. Otherwise you look like a foolish Stat seeker. Easy there, borderline embarrassment to the kid and your brand. We all know the kid has talent, but this is not necessary, and not a meaningful stat.

Kid is definetely NOT a "Stat Seeker" just playing the game, enough already . In these days of all the constant whining on here about reclass and hold backs kid still playing with kids 3,4, and 5 yrs older. If you need to Make reference to the coach not the kid .

Running up the score Against a sub par team is generally frowned upon. Most teams pull starters and play 3rd lines when beating a team by 10+ goals.

Question.Kids can commit verbally and not announc it correct?

Kids can commit and not announce it. Some schools such as Duke ND and some Ivy League schools toward end of freshman year have agreements with kids but do not make an official commitment til end of freshman year grades come in.

Not true at all. They will all commit a kid in the 9th grade. They try to keep it hush hush but they will commit their top prospects. If they are telling you they have to wait then you are not at the top of their list. Coaches all have a variety of thing they tell recruits to keep them on the line but the reality is that if you are at the top of the list they will pull the trigger quickly.

Impressive showing for the 8th grade varsity kid. Don't care who they are playing--for a 13/14 yr old kid to compete at varsity level is commendable. stop hating.

Team doesn't have a third line. They carry maybe 20 kids. Stop. You match goal for goal after a 10 point spread

If Madlax wants to play some real teams maybe they should travel to Long Island.
If Madlax wants to talk they should walk the walk. I've never seen them at any Long Island tournaments.

Why would we travel up there? The best events are here. The best 2020 teams are here too (Madlax, Crabs and Looneys).
