Murf, never heard of that school, but at this stage you have to take everyone seriously. Everyone is that much closer to the ultimate goal, hopefully Long Island can make a statement. Not sure Manhasset and GC have won the state title in the same year. I might be at Hofstra if you’re going next weekend (if MHS makes it)

kr522: I didn't intend to imply that any team that gets that far will be a pushover. I just thought the name of the school was somewhat lyrical.

I will be at Hofstra. While I hope all 4 L.I. teams win upstate and "come home", I'll be eager to watch any team that beats the L.I. teams. I haven't seen Northport play this season, but a couple of folks told me that Northport controlled the faceoffs and dominated possession.

Hope to see you there.

I'M CONFIDENT BUT ON ANY GIVEN DAY...!

I know you weren’t the one implying it, it was more me by saying I never heard of them….but then my lacrosse knowledge isn’t the litmus test for which schools in Section 1 & 2 are good. I haven’t paid much attention to what’s happening outside LI this year….are there any upstate teams that look great (aside from Victor which won’t be around to torment anyone this year)

My guess is downstate teams would be “favored” in all classifications other than A (even if Fairport defeats Baldwinsville). Fairport lost to Victor 10-9. Victor beat Baldwinsville (aka Baker) 9-6.

Impressive Manhasset win, I honestly thought they had no shot this year, and to win by 5….wow. Anyone see the game to say how they did it?

Northport defeated Port Washington for A. Just for reference Mt. Sinai defeated Northport 12-5 in the first game of the year.

3 (I believe) of Manhasset’s goals were empty netters late in the game when MS was desperate to get the ball and doubled with the goalie.

Manhasset played without their leading scorer Dawson Rielly.

*IMO it’s only a matter of time until NY adopts the shot clock. It works quite well in MD and PA.

Sounds like a chance for a real strong showing here by LI. Murf the furthest traveling is a few miles to Hofstra! :^)

Nice to see the team rise to that huge challenge. Replacing Reilly is impressive too, but imo they always had depth up front and Cromwell knows his offense, I’m downright impressed with the defensive effort

Looks like finals are back at Hofstra on Friday if all these teams can get that far. What are the matchups, looks like MHS has Rye which is another tough one

Murf and Chris, congrats on your teams repeating

wrt Manhasset....i got to watch the replay, i must say it was an impressive team defensive effort. big step up from last year and it looks like 2 of the kids are Sophs, as is the goalie and LSD. that's a great foundation with Cromwell's ability to get a lot out of the offense. And I know Terenzi gets a lot of accolades (rightfully) but i was really impressed with Petersen and Connor.

kr522 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 07, 2022 10:59 am btw - i think i'm seeing it right. in the range of possibilities here for Class B is a GC - West Genessee matchup? both teams have tough matchups to get there, but that would be a blast from the past

wrt Manhasset....

Scarsdale doesn't impress me. Briarcliff on the other hand. CSH should win but I wouldn't even flinch if Briarcliff wins.
Manhasset's W was a really good one. Beat a legitimately good team...
