Each year the coaches meet and give a review of returners at that meeting one could determine who goes in, but if you want a true indication, have a flex schedule so team's making a run can be included and play a team in the power conference. In A Riverhead and Bay Shore could be seen as top 5 teams. They were both young and return a boat load with experience.
SE is a good example, will they be a top 5 team the next two years? Doubt it. Don't go by history, go by what their future looks like.
I know I have a sleeper team next year, just like Islip this year ( sleeper in the sense of a one off, not sleeper in team just showed up, many knew Islip would prove well).
To many 2019 has started. WM will be favored, Suffolk will be favored. |
