LaxPower Back-Up Stick

It's always nice to see young talent in the pipeline for teams one supports. So I was pleased to see an 8th grader named Bo Dillmeier get on the field for Manhasset this year; rare feat. Last time I remember seeing that was with John Balsamo (starting Sophomore [also a rare feat] attack man for Cha...

It’s a great town and a great area and a great university. It’s an easy sale to athletes imo.

Interesting (to me) to examine L.I. teams’ paths to State Championships. Based on Lax Numbers ratings I put them in order of degree of difficulty by game assuming form held: A. Top rated team is Half Hollow Hills (Top 4 A teams come from Suffolk) 1. Suffolk 2. L.I. Championship (Farmingdale is 5). ...

GC could easily go undefeated. I’d be surprised if they did not. Not one I had potentially biting them on my Bingo card. Color me surprised. Lol. This has proven to be a down year for GC lacrosse. Losing to a very weak team from R.I. was a precursor. The loss to SS/RVC was further evidence of the t...

When will the Nassau County playoffs begin and where can I find the brackets? The Suffolk playoffs are well detailed and rather thorough. Murf, Here you go! All the matchups listed below. Class B- All Games on 5/17/24 #1 South Side Vs #8 Long Beach 6PM #2 Garden City Vs #7 Mepham 4:30PM #3 Manhasse...

I'd include Anderson Moore. I'm chuffed that a kid from Alabama is starting at Georgetown. Curious. Is the mascot the teams from Briarwood Christian the/a HOYA?

A broadcast team talking delis, chicken parm sandwiches, traffic, workout routines, haircuts!!! is different from not keeping track of other pertinent games. No argument for me on those things, and I agree that stuff is annoying. But people have also complained any time that they mention teams that...

UVA looks like a d1 football back 7. Big and thick. QUE? I think he's referring to the clubs down here in atlanta back when freaknik existed. Like MJQ...or Gold Club where legendary Tupac shot two off duty officers in the bubblegoose and got off because they were racist aholes. If you like Big and ...

I'm not bothered by the tasty sandwich comparisons, cool haircuts, or Seinfeld family history that's spewed forth by the announcers. What I object to is their lack of preparation. E.g. While watching the DU-Michigan game, a Michigan player was identified as FRESHMAN Aidan Mulholland. He's a JUNIOR! ...

Cormier's record is well earned yet for me, bittersweet. I coached Guterding in our village's youth league. Justin's dad Joe played at Penn State and helped Justin develop the fundamentals. O'Keefe's father played lacrosse at FDU and encouraged Mac to switch from goalie to attack. Both are terrific ...

Not a real school? In the eye of the beholder, I guess. Ledyard, Bunnell-Stratford and Lewis Mills-Burlington...now those are REAL SCHOOLS.

I didn't think the brackets were decided. When did that happen?

Deepest and most talented team in the country. The only team that will beat ND is ND. Does ND have any weaknesses? One of the best goalies. Tough defense. Best EMO. Excellent FO crew. Best ride there is. Dynamic O with great dodging, shooting, passing, and offball movement. Great on gbs. Did I miss...

Sitting here fat, dumb, and happy watching Michigan destroying Penn State. I'm fascinated and puzzled by the BIG 10 Network's USILA Men's Lacrosse Rankings chryon: To whit DUKE-1, UVA- 2, Maryland- 3, Denver- 4, Army-5, Notre Dame- 6, Hopkins- 7, Syracuse -8....yada,yada,yada. I saw it, every damn ...

Funny. Yes, a chryon usually appears on the bottom of a broadcast. I was more concerned why a network can create their own version of USILA rankings. UVA #2 and Notre Dame # 6 ?
