Murf,
I'm fairly Confident Manhasset will beat CSH. Even though CSH "held" Manhasset to its lowest goal total all season, 12(!) Nobody has been able to keep them under double digits. In fact, in their first matchup CSH only scored 5 goals. Manhasset has only given up Double-Digit goals once all season, against GC in a rivalry game that is always close and where Jack Cascadden their FO guy got very hot in the 2nd Half. Yet GC still gave up 19 goals to Manhasset. Their offense is one of the best in the nation. They have it all, Senior Leadership and loaded with Underclassmen.
I am LESS confident regarding Garden City over Carey. GC struggled to beat a middle of the pack South Side team in the semifinals 6-5. Carey is athletic and has enough talent to pull off the upset.
I've been following closely all season long so I know each squad pretty well this season!

congrats to Syosset getting revenge over Farmingdale.....it's impressive that CSH took them out with a young group. I share the enthusiasm for this Manhasset team, but still have emotional scars from Dennis Bonn teams in the mid-00s to assume anything other than a dogfight in this one

Re: Nassau Section VIII
I have them too, I was in school during those times. But I still think Manhasset takes it without too much trouble. I agree regarding Carey, it will take some good goalie play and aggressive defense to cause some turnovers and get the momentum in their favor. We shall see, game starts in a few minutes..kr522 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 16, 2021 2:54 pmCarey seemed to struggle down the stretch, we know GC will dominate face offs so how does Carey beat them?JoeMauer89 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 16, 2021 1:58 pmwahoomurf wrote: ↑Wed Jun 16, 2021 12:31 pm Some folks have made predictions about the LIC WINNERS.Interesting!

Re: Nassau Section VIII
Manhasset 10 CSH 8 FINAL
Don't have a box score yet to see how close this really was, but CSH was a very solid team this year and Dennis Bonn has a history of outcoaching his Manhasset counterpart the second time around during a season. I've seen it too many times.. Anyway, this Manhasset team was just too strong in the end. Advance to play the winner of Mt. Sinai/BBP on Saturday at East Islip. I think the game is at 530 or 630 not sure yet.

CSH controlled the ball for 9+ minutes in Q1.MHS's 2+ minutes yielded 2 goals. I thought MHS was about to score at will.Not so.Teams traded goals for the remainder of the game.With the score 9-8.MHS popped in another to make it a 10-8 FINAL.
Carey had an up and down year.They lost to GC twice (including tonight) but certainly didn't quit. I have been playing, coaching,recruiting and following lacrosse since Lincoln was President. Anyone can speculate with personal passion and guesswork if he or she so chooses. I would NEVER,especially this year,declare any TEAM in the country a top 10 or a top 20 WITHOUT watching them play head to head.

Your knowledge of LI Lax is invaluable, I was at the first CSH-Manhasset game a few weeks ago, was always confident Manhasset would win in the end. I knew that CSH would slow it down to a grind, it was the only way for them for to stay in the game with Manhasset's powerful offense. We shall see on Saturday if Mt Sinai can do the same. I won't predict the score just yet, but again I think Manhasset is the stronger team and will take home the LI Class C title in '21.

Re: Nassau Section VIII
thanks for the color commentary......first off congrats to Manhasset kids for winning the county, and to GC and Syo. Bonn is like Barry Trotz before Trotz ever got this good! I'm not shocked he made everyone sweat....next year will be interesting to see how it plays out for them as CSH has a young team but loses 3 of their 4 top scorers
Did Manhasset struggle with face offs? wondering how CSH was able to repeatedly hold onto the ball so long as the MHS sophomore is supposed to be very good. hoping to make it to the LIC finals....Mt Sinai really dominated their game

Sounds like they did in the 1st Quarter, after that, not as much. Should be a good game on Saturday. Mt.

Totally agree, best they have seen all year long. But Mt. Sinai hasn't seen a stable of middies like Manhasset rolls out. Like I said, should be a good game on Saturday. It may very well be at 3PM, I'm hoping for some confirmation from Newsday soon. It's either at 3PM or 530PM. Confirmation will come well in advance of game time, I'm sure of it.
Manhasset Midfield
Aidan Muholland Class of 2021 54 G 17A, 71 Pts (last night's stats NOT included) 6th in LI
Hunter Panzik Class of 2022- 10G 8A, Committed to Air Force
Joey Terenzi Class of 2022 (Arguably the 2nd or 3rd best player in 2022 behind Spallina) 23G 20A
Manhasset Attack:
Rory Connor Class of 2021: One of the leading scorers on LI 54 G 20A, 74 Points (last night's stats NOT included) 5th in LI
Matthew Perfetto Class of 2022: Great Feeder, underrated
Alex Giacobbe Class of 2021: Talented player, 19G 8A
Very talented FO guy from 2023, Cal Girard. Getting better with each game.

Re: Nassau Section VIII
agree. no idea about Class D, but the 3 other games should be a battle royale. normally Class B is highly likely to go to Nassau, but Comsewogue looks really good in a tougher year for GC, so we shall see

Re: Nassau Section VIII
Comsewogue has IMHO one of the BEST coaches on Long Island.I was on the selection group for an L.I. Empire Team (gone the way of the Dinosaurs) of which Pete Mitchell was head coach.He had an almost uncanny knack for picking out players that may not have had the accolades of some of the more heralded chaps.
Last night,I was speaking with Cassese.He told me that Mitchell brought out the best in the Comsewogue kids that were relatively new to the sport. And went on to state that Pete helped KC improve his game.
I place Kevin toward the top of MY SUBJECTIVE LIST OF LI's BEST HIGH SCHOOL PLAYERS.As such,I was surprised that ANYONE on the planet could enhance Kevin's skills.Not so.A few years ago,Garden City played C'Wogue at Hofstra for the LIC, Cassese almost single-handedly beat a good GC team.
I'm not if sure these teams have played since then.With skinny Pete's coaching,it should be a great game.
