Good lesson for you - not everything in high school lacrosse will work out the way your expert eyes see it. It's not a popularity contest and not all of the kids and parents "in the know" will be included in everything. Wait until next year when even more kids develop that you've never heard of - look at the concentration of towns on the middle school teams compared to the lack of concentration of towns in the high school division. The Island is huge and the talent pool is deep in every grade - there will be kids coming out of "nowhere" that will shock you over and over until its too late for you to realize what has happened. Do us all a favor and save us from reading your whining next year - start your own tournament and rig the teams as your expert opinion and your son's best friends would like to see it. Good luck with that.


You people need to get over yourselves , if you think the kids that made the teams are the best players on long island you are pathetic. Some of the best players in the age group did not even try-out while some of the best players were not picked because they have no connections. Some of the best players in the age group happen to be some of the best athletes in the age group and are now playing Bball or wrestling at the high school level due to being moved up in age .Yes many of the kids selected are some of the best on the island but please get a clue just because your child made a team does not mean they are headed for a d1 program , many kids will pass them by as the years go on.


I agree with you that there are a few of the best players in this age group were not @ the tryout. Hopefully, next year, they decide to tryout and we will see who makes the team. That some of the best players were just not chosen because they don't have connections? That's BS! Did you watch EVERY kid @ EVERY position @ EVERY moment of BOTH of the tryouts to make these claims? You are just as bad as the parents on here beating their chests that their 13 year old sons made this lax team. Its pathetic! No tryout is or will ever be perfect. Pointing fingers & making accusations annonymously is cowardly.
