Anyone have any info on the H.S. league at Bay Shore H.S. I saw them playing last weekend. Do they play there every weekend ?

Boys Suffolk Playoffs for Division I will open on Friday, May 16th and continue on Tuesday, May 20th. The Suffolk Class A semifinals will take place on Friday, May 23rd with the finals to be held at Stony Brook University on Wednesday, May 28th.

In Division II, Class B and Class C will begin on Saturday, May 17th and conduct their semifinal matches on Thursday, May 22nd. The Class B final will be held at Stony Brook University on Wednesday, May 28th while the Class C final will be held at the Dowling Sports Complex on Tuesday, May 27th.

Varsity teams at Bayshore on Sunday Mornings, I think the league is run by west islip.

Who plays and when do they play till?

Is this someone trying to stir the pot? Why would West Islip be running a league on Bay Shore's fields and not their own. Or why wouldn't Bay Shore just run it themselves?

This is a winter outdoor league and the teams involved include West Islip (two squads), Bay Shore, Half Hollow Hills East, Lindenhurst, East Islip, Sayville, and Babylon. BOTC does not have a copy of the winter season schedule to offer any additional insight.

Farmingdale's Hartranft Wins Gerald J. Carroll Award

The Farmingdale School District recently announced that Farmingdale High School boys’ varsity lacrosse coach Bob Hartranft has been selected to receive the prestigious 2013 Gerald J. Carroll Award, presented by US Lacrosse. The award recognizes one high school coach whose success is best measured in the support and guidance given to the development of student-athletes. Coach Hartranft will be presented the award during the 2014 US Lacrosse Convention scheduled on January 10-12, 2014 in Philadelphia, PA.

“It is a tremendous honor to have one of our role models be recognized on a national level,” said Farmingdale Schools Superintendent John Lorentz. “The Farmingdale School District is dedicated to developing all our students into well-rounded adults, and Bob Hartranft has played a critical role in ensuring that our students-athletes hold themselves to the highest standards both on and off the field.”

Can anyone post playoff/ make-up dates ? thanks.

Important question:
Is any tape aloud on the shaft at all for face offs this year? I was under the impression that the tape can't touch the head, but my son's coach is telling him no tape on the stick at all. can someone please clarify?

Is the Bay Shore outdoor League still going ? If so, could someone post the remaining schedule. Thanks to the person who previously posted the schedule.
