That’s correct on the playoff bracket ,I must have been looking at last season.There where some teams that moved from A to B and from B to C and it changed the landscape a little bit.The placements count seems right though.It’s been a closely contested season so far amongst the top teams.

It definitely is a great school but the lacrosse program is good because they acquire a ton of talent . Coaching is not great either . Then factor in big donations and its not a good mix. The practices on the JV side are laughable if they even practice .

Very few LI Varsity High school teams have "Great Coaching" .. and almost none on the JV level, so why think it would be different at SA.
Are you saying that a big donation gets you playing time? Im not sure I agree there.

Yore not wrong, but SA is a great school, if your going to leave you hometown school you want to be because youre going to a great school.. SA is it.

However, SA is def. not the right fit for everyone! Big school, big team. Kind of like when you pick a college. Need to find the right fit for kids personality and team dynamics. Plenty of great Catholic schools with great programs. Doms, SH, Kellenberg, St Johns are all very good schools for both LAX and Academics.
You are spot on!

I could see Floyd or Smithtown East beating WM in the playoffs, not sure anyone is beating Northport. Especially with Carol's refs on her side

Northport didn't seem to get the calls in the game vs Ward Melville. Calls were fairly even in that game. So I don't know why you say she has all the refs on her side.

Exactly why a shot clock is needed in HS lacrosse. It’s usually when teams just holding ball playing keep away to stall …then kids end up getting hurt. Girls start to press and get more physical trying to take the ball away. Let’s get the shot clock in HS and end that scenario. Plus get girls ready for college!

I am down in the Baltimore league and we went to shot clocks this year. It took some adjustments for the players and the refs but it is a game changer and really helps the flow of the game. Only challenge we have seen is when the clock is counting down and the obsessive parents are yelling to shoot even if the girls are 12 meters out and 3 girls in front of them.

Northwestern used to hold the ball for 12 -15minutes.
Shot clock would definitely help the game. But please it’s about winning isn’t it. Gotta do what you Gotta do to win games. I credit West Babylon coaches for being smart. MS is the king of holding the ball. And they won a lot of championships doing it.
I am embarrassed of Smithtown West coaches. fans heard more foul language of SW girls in their own huddle.

Only the IAAM A conference in MD has the shot clock and I’ve never heard a parent yell shoot as the clock was expiring. The teams have been very disciplined and throwing the ball out of bounds if they can’t get the shot off in time.

Yep, and that firecracker is also a habitual flopper. Tough look for the kid and her local college team

Posted in another forum:

Which is more fun for your kid (or you), Club or High School lacrosse?

Most favored high school citing factors such as:

-Games meaning more to them especially wins and losses. They didn't care as much about W-L's in club
-More team camaraderie with high school. These are kids they (obviously) go to school with and know better. Club sometimes feels like hired mercenaries
-If you are the better player, then you play more whereas with Club, since everyone is (presumably) paying the same, playing time is split more evenly
-Spring lacrosse after a barren Winter season feels more refreshing where summer club can be a slog sometimes
-High school coaches care more than club coaches about the kids?
-Cheaper than club (unless you pay for private school)
-Less traveling
-Playing against a team of holdbacks may be less prevalent in high school (except Prep schools)
-More emotional investment in the town you live in or (the school you are paying for for Prep). True rivalries seem to mean more in high school and thus,there is more emotional investment

Those who favored Club cited factors such as:

-the level of competition is better and teammates are usually better, at least at the higher levels of Club lacrosse
-traveling around the country with your kid is a (sometimes) rewarding experience
-some like the national exposure of some of the high level Club lacrosse
-even playing time as some players may get buried on a high school bench

Recruiting-wise, it was a wash but I feel that High School recruiting is better than Club recruiting. I have heard stories of Club making a million promises but never delivering when it comes to recruiting, unless you are the superstar of the club. I have been told (but could be mistaken) is that colleges value the high school coach opinion much more than the club coach.

There seems to be a temporal nature to it. Youth club was much more rewarding than youth town lacrosse but as the kids get older, high school becomes more important to kids. I would even venture to say that club has much less meaning to 22's, 23's and maybe 24's.

It also seemed that this logic does not apply to the outliers such as the top national high school teams in the country or the bottom lower clubs. In addition, most of this logic may not apply to the superstars (top 0.5% of players in the country).

Just curious to everyone's thoughts. There truly are no right answers as it is only an opinion that can be formed wholly dependent on your own experience.

Smithtown East is a VERY young team, not sure of their chances. I think their starting D are three sophomores and a junior, and their goalie is a sophomore. That's a tough ask against Northport

Northport does not want to see SE again, or WM, or Floyd again. They will be beat by one of those, and if not those, they will not get through Nassau. Too bad no shot clock. Would be a different game. Hats of to CR, but NP due for a loss. You can only play so many close games before your luck runs out

Northport did a good job of avoiding the top teams in both Suffolk and Nassau.
