Refreshing this thread as we are literally just a couple of weeks away from the start of the Spring 2013 High School Varsity season.

2013 season soon under way....nassau conf 2...can any of the other teams beat gc ? Wantagh, south side ? Any thoughts...

Watch out for Carey young but kids are good

Don't know much about Carey this year. A lot of tough kids there so they could be a factor. Probably be GC and Wantagh on top again this year. Fan of both teams. GC always puts out some of the finest lax players around and will be tough to topple. GC is usually deep at every position. Wantagh should fair well ,good coaching , tough athletic kids will put them in a spot to make a run. They lost a bunch of last years starters so that could be a problem. I think they graduated their entire defense but given their history they will probably still have a strong D and their goalie is back from last year. South side and long beach complete the confrence and there will be some exciting games....

Who is looking good in conference 1. Assume Massapequa and Syosset would tough but any sleepers out there or anyone else we should be looking out for?

Baldwin is young team one for the future

Port Washington also. Goalie who took them to County Semis is a freshman. Also have a commit to Hopkins.

Wait, let me get this straight...that means an 8th grader took a varsity team to the county semis last year? C'mon now. That has to be a first. How come he's not one of these diaper commits?

My son played with the Port goalie on his summer team. Very good player, has a bright future if he keeps his head on straight.

Yes, the Port Varsity starting goalie was in 8th grade last year.And yeas, Port made it to the County semis

I can't answer about someone elses kid.Can just inform that he was in 8th grade last year.

So there were no goalies within 4 years older that were better? That's either a sad commentary about the state of Port Lax or this kid is the next Ghittleman.
