LaxPower Back-Up Stick

Talked with my son last evening and his reaction is that this deal should be rejected. The missing piece is collective bargaining. Once there’s a union to negotiate on an ongoing basis, this can be worked out to benefit all the athletes rather than the NCAA or power conferences alone. Yup. Otherwis...

You do have a valid argument. It will never happen but like other states, maybe a "parochial" division needs to be formed with -Prep -St Joes -East Catholic -ND West Haven -St Pauls -Northwest Catholic -ND Fairfield -Xavier -St Bernard -Holy Cross -Immaculate Add in Canterbury and St Luke...

Have to think it's Prep in LL. They are just playing better right now than any of the FCIAC teams. Maybe not hands above - but they're playing better. And as if in rebuttal to a point upon which I have harped since fire became manageable and wheels got strapped to wagons...I believe that the vast m...

EI totally dominant so far. 6-0 in 2nd quarter. 8-0 East Islip now. Should be an interesting matchup against either South Side or Manhasset. On a related note, I saw somewhere that the LIC's are Wednesday 5/29/24. Then the Nassau County site listed an additional round on 6/1/24 as a regional and th...

Another piece of LI lacrosse trivia - HHH coach in 1962 was Bill Martens....a familiar name to many (although not as a HC but as a longtime assistant coach at Ward Melville)

Hills 9, Northport 8 final great game. congrats Hills, long wait is over! bring it back home. Very impressive, this Hills squad. They should be the heavy favorite over Farmingdale or Massapequa! Joe best idea they ever had to combine East and West high schools into one squad 2 years ago after a nea...

Really? Ellington, Masuk/North Haven and Brookfiled/ RHAM? - Running clock both games IMHO

Barlow gets Berlin, Foran and East Lyme.

Thunderbirds beat Jimmy Lewis' Uniondale squad in 1962 in an unofficial LI championship.

It's about time. Ray Enners AKA "The Machine" would be proud of those Hills kids today

We should have done it in 1969 but were upset by Huntington in the semis and we were loaded that year, too. Dour Schreiber was the captain.

Brackets are out at CIAC LL - 17 teams; 1 play-in LL - - 22 teams - 6 play-ins M - 16 teams no play-ins S - 13 teams no play-ins Daniel Hand (7-9) is the 1 seed in M I think you would be hard pressed to find a coach in the M tourney who isn’t glad they are #1, except I guess Barlow who prefer they ...

62 years......go T-Birds!!!!!

Brackets are out at CIAC

LL - 17 teams; 1 play-in
LL - - 22 teams - 6 play-ins
M - 16 teams no play-ins
S - 13 teams no play-ins

Daniel Hand (7-9) is the 1 seed in M

As a small defense of hometown Hand, that recent stretch of losing in state finals multiple times were almost all to New Canaan in generally competitive (though not close) games. The top 3-4 FCIAC teams these days are top 10 nationally public schools, NY is down across the board. With that as the s...

To bring this to life, it's not uncommon for us to get messages, e-mails from people saying, There's a post that isn't true!

and your coach is the ORIGINAL #22

Danowski certainly isn’t on the hot seat, but the issue may be the succession plan for Matt may not be going as planned. Had they won it last year or this year, maybe he could have rode off into the sunset while handing the keys to Matt. Now that doesn’t seem like a possibility with the underachiev...

14-3 Northport over WM. Total domination. Rare to see WM get worked over like that. Our boys were firing on all cylinders despite losing the faceoff battle. Congrats….very impressive Thanks! Now 7 in a row over WM and every time I feel like the underdog. History weighs on me. Feel your pain....that...

Is it time to add Danowski? We can now add O’Neill, Williams, Naso, Carpenter and Zawada to the longgggggg list of pro level talent to graduate without a ring since 2014. This has always been rather mystifying to me. Dano had 20+ years of mediocrity at Hofstra and was about to be shown the door aft...

Hills 14-8 over Huntington Back in 1969, Hills was heavily favored over the Blue Devils (last time we had a shot at a Suffolk title) and they upset the Thunderbirds to claim the Suffolk crown. Doug Schreiber was the HHH captain that year. 13 - you got your wish - Tigers v Thunderbirds May 23 @3PM at...
