US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Boys 2024 - 6th Grade Fall 2017/Summer 2018

HS superiority to date would depend upon the specific year being referenced, obviously, but there is no debate for this grade, We'll see what happens in the coming years, but to date, 2024 Suffolk has been far superior. No disrespect intended.

I heard Joey Buttafuoco and Marion Barry were thinking about starting their own teams.

There are a lot of A players on RVC Futures

There are a lot of A players on every town team

There aren't that many town teams . . . there are way more towns than don't have a town team than those that do!

Please stop with this Suffolk BS. Plenty of Nassau kids can play at an "A' or higher. Ever hear of Garden City, Manhasset , Cold Spring Harbor all lacrosse hotbeds.

Heard of those towns, yes. However, we are referring to the 2024 grade here, not ancient history. Real A players are sparse, to say the least, from these areas. Where's the proof? Take a real look at both the town and travel teams at this age. All of the top teams are from Suffolk. End of conversation.

<eye roll>

Where is your proof ?

Too bad that most of the best club teams come from more of the middle-class working class areas around Maryland than the "ultra-rich" burbs that you refer to. If you want to start comparing those DC burb clubs - lets talk about how they do against the MnDs, Skywalkers and Heros. Which all draw kids from the mainly middle class areas. Biggest difference is those working folks have "Grit" and they pass it on to their girls. Just like on the Island.

You definitely need to take grammar school English again.you write like an illiterate baboon

What town are you from in Suffolk??? I am sure GC, RVC and Pequa 2024!! Have taken their fair share of t-shirts.Playing in Suffolk tournaments.vs clubs and town teams.

You think all those girls on MD best trams are working class families? LOL. Those are the girls who end up at McDonogh and other MD private schools.

The best kids in MD and VA comes from wealthy parents. They don't share anything with the blue collar families of LI.

Reminds me of all those horrible tats on the dads whose sons play for LI Outlaws. White trash.

I'm from Nassau . . . and from none of the towns you just mentioned. And I still don't know what your point was . . .

The top Suffolk 2024 town teams haven't played on grade in years, so your Pequas of Nassau don't even play them in tourneys. Lucky for them. More proof? Take 3 guesses where every player is from, on the two most dominant travel teams on LI? Hint. It ain't Nassau.

Assuming you're right (for the sake of argument, anyway!), let's really analyze this from a numerical standpoint: Nassau is a much smaller geographic area than Suffolk, and in general probably has more club options available on a relative basis. That means that from a logistical perspective, Nassau players can find many club options closer to home, IE, the talent is more spread out amongst many teams in the county (and even into Suffolk county if you live in Eastern Nassau). Suffolk, on the other hand is larger and has a more distributed population, which easily could translate into teams with more concentration of players, particularly from certain regions of Suffolk. Which is all to say that even if you're right about the top clubs on LI being from Suffolk, when you consider all of the above, it has no bearing on determining whether one county's players are predominantly better than the other's. Go spend time with your kid being a positive role model and less wasted time trying to live vicariously through him and claim who is better - they're 11 years old!

Between GC and Rvc they have beaten all the club teams on LI.except taz and pack.
Point--- those Nassau town teams have pritty much beat every club team in suffolk. with the exception of taz and pack. End of conversation!

So what you are saying is, none of your Nassau teams have beaten the two Suffolk travel teams of Taz and WP. And the Nassau town teams are winning some tournaments against some Suffolk B teams since true A Suffolk town teams play up. Ok. Got it!

<yawn>

You are almost as stupid as the madlax guy. It's close though. You should be proud.

Yes, we heard all about your oral surgeon and orthodontist dads. That's so great. But just remember that us tattooed white trash dads will not only beat you down, but will buy and sell your [lacrosse] like a penny stock you pretend polo wearing wannabe elitist jack wagon. Now go get your shine box.

Are we talking about town teams or club teams? What's "true A Suffolk town teams" play up? In what tournament do they do that?

I kinda think "Now go get your shine box" is a little wannabe elitist as well. What exactly are you saying? It's a weird east coast thing I know but I don't see why you keep using a hard working blue collar profession as a put down.

Is that seriously the best you've got? Did you write material for Bob Hope?

I believe the poster is referencing the line from good fellas.

i am saying the really good Nassau town teams have not beaten Taz or Pack(don't believe they have met often)... but have beaten all other teams/clubs, I don't care what you rate them A B. or Z. those Nassau town teams are Legit!!! (and you might want to check.But i am sure there are some boys that live in Nassau that play for Pack or Taz.

Is empire green 2024 a good B team?

People are so worried about what town? Why not worry about Taz's taking a 7th grader?

Yes it's suppose to be their A team but play in every B bracket

Taz is coached by a Nassau guy you fools. A suffolk guy can't lead a team like that.

You're such a tool. He works in Nassau but lives in Suffolk.

What clubs have they beaten? The only 2 town teams I have seen in the big club tourneys were RVC and Garden City.

MADLAX

Ahhhh! Ok, great movie, thanks. Still not a good comeback but makes more sense now.

What county sends to the better colleges....without lacrosse? Then you can brag. Remember this - I have older kids - your son's lax career is probably over in either 2, 6 (90%), or 10 years. THEN WHAT?? Focus on the right thing please. Travel lacrosse should be for kids that love the sport. Not Daddy and Mommy bragging rights with the red cup brigade...

you want to see a great movie "Man in the Red Bandana" . important movie

Good question. What wins make these Nassau town teams so "legit"??

Know of the family-it's a heartwarming story for a tragic time in our history.

Since 1977 these are the STATE CHAMPIONS:
Suffolk:
WM- 9
West Islip- 5
SWR- 3
Sachem-2
Huntington-2
Comsewoque-2
Rocky Pt-1
Mount Sinai-1
Northport-1

Nassau:
Garden City- 6
Manhasset- 4
Cold Spring Harbor- 4
Lynbrook- 2
Wantagh- 1
Massapequa- 1
Bethpage- 1
South Side- 1
Elmont- 1
Farmingdale- 1

Id say 26 and 22 are pretty close. Bottom line Long Island has a ton of lacrosse rich schools in both Nassau & Suffolk. Stop all this non sense
