Only 4 LI teams on the RR preseason list (which is by far the most reliable and respected).
Can’t believe how low the reputation of LI lacrosse has fallen in the past 5 years. Especially the LI public programs.... gone are the days of WI and Scotty Craig or GC carrying the weight if LI in their shoulders.
Catholics always represent but usually not much higher than #5.
This year only WM and Pequa. It’s sad really! Respect for LI lax has diminished greatly.
Public programs no longer competing. They don’t play other national teams. Almost like LI teams hide from competition and rely on past teputation so as to not get exposed.
At least Catholics play real out of conference schedules bit the public’s don’t. MD and PA teams don’t want to come to LI and public’s don’t really travel.

Point 1) Why not move the 2 Li Catholics to CT the way their schedules read,geez one might think those 2 Catholics schools are affraid to stay home and play the public.
Point 2). This list is a joke, it has been said before, many of these are prep schools. Big difference from public HS, those public's on here much respect. And don't get me started about TP ( do you really apply to attend a 2800 student school whose avgs are above the charts, Hmm). Or Darien's antics.
Point 3) Li public's only get 2 non conference and don't have budgets. You think a ranked opponent will want to risk coming to Li and lose to a Riverhead or an ESM.
