Frankly, I think they might be slight favorites over Chaminade - game would be close either way especially with Melkonian's dominance.

I'll use my ND winnings on slight dog Cham if you could make it happen...

I wouldn't blame you for making that bet, that's for sure.

Side note, Chaminade’s Under Armour All American Ben Fox is also from Rockville Centre

Everything's coming up RVC right now

How many is vast?

I said that they've always been a very strong lacrosse town, but that the "vast majority" (probably a too liberal use of hyperbole on my part) of RVC players who've been impactful in D1, their historically strongest players, have been from Chaminade (vs South Side). At least that's the way it's always seemed to me.

That isn't necessarily true for the other towns you mentioned, at least not for the first three (though they all do send a good number of players to Chaminade each year).

Any news on All Americans from Nassau or Suffolk?

All county dinner the 11th I think it becomes public after that’s my guess

Who you think gonna be Nassau all Americans

Northport LSM Giancarlo Valenti got one of the AA spots for Suffolk. Second year in a row we've had an AA at that position after Drew Miller last year.

I hope the Filardi kid got one as well, from what I saw of him he was an All American.

South side Coach Dipietro got coach of year Nassau and Long Island coach of year

Can anyone provide a link to the Nassau and Suffolk Awards winners? I've been looking all over and can't find anything.

Definitely AA material. I watched Hills play a few times this year and he stood out every time and in particular his hat trick in the loss to Farmingdale. His offensive ability and ball protection with the pole is incredibly impressive.

Where is the list of AAs? Newsday has avoided publishing that information.

I saw on south side instagram Aiello got attackman of year for Nassau and melkonian for Nassau player of year

Still can't find list of AAs and county award winners but Newsday did publish their first and second All Long Island Teams.

I don't ever remember Newsday publishing the US Lacrosse AAs.

However last year Sections 8 and 11 were weirdly absent from the national AA list.

US Lacrosse Magazine published the 2024 HS lacrosse All Americans but as you say Sections 4, 8, 10 and 11 are not included on the Boys list. Interestingly, all sections are published on the Girls AA list. Very strange.

Michael Aiello Attack South Side
David Disque Midfield Syosset
Matt Kephart Defense Garden City
Jake Martini Midfield Wantagh
Kian McCoy Attack Island Trees
Michael Melkonian FO/M South Side
Jack Mulholland Defense Manhasset
Brendan O'Keefe Attack Farmingdale
Owen West A/M South Side

McCoy first AA ever from Island Trees
