While people in this forum have talked about the decline Y and to get a bit of perspective on Y, i recent found the following article in the NYT from 1981 about lax in Westchester:
LACROSSE BOOMING AT HIGH SCHOOLS
https://www.nytimes.com/1981/04/26/nyre ... ools.html (
https://www.nytimes.com/1981/04/26/nyregion/lacrosse-booming-at-high-schools.html)
Several interesting points are mentioned, but Y's competition in 1981 was Mamaroneck, Greeley WP, Fox Lane and Croton. None of these programs have reached the level of Y and they all have been around since the formation of Westchester lax.
Lets give Y the respect they deserve in setting the bar and maintaining a consistent program over 50 years!
FYI, the article was found in the reinvented laxpower forums. Also, i'm not from Y, but I've been involved in Westchester lax since 1984 and i know Y remains the top program in section 1.
