Any word on lp at wp?
Huntington 11, BBP 9
Smithtown W 16, Bay Shore 10
12-5 Loyola Bakersfield
12-5 doesn’t sound bad.any details sec 1?
Something like 10-1 at half. Loyola pulled starters early 3rd quarter. Score does not reflect the game at all.
Trinity-Pawling plays Loyola B-field tomorrow at W Pt at 3pm I’d love to see T-P get a Dub!
LP was down 9 to 1 or 10 1 at half.
Iona – Somers game was very sloppy and have to say both these teams are not very good at least right now. Somers did a better job moving the ball.Cousin in goal very good. Also these two refs seemed rattled and not ready for this level. Maybe there new , first varsity game. If These teams do not play better not looking for them to be in the playoffs.
Startes out half time against Lakeland.And you are right about Somers game.
Loyola had pulled everyone on offense with five minutes left in first half against LP. This one was a total mismatch, Loyola could have rung up 20+ if they kept their starters on offense in the whole game. On defense, LP could no nothing against Loyola’s first defense in the first half. Loyola killed LP on faceoffs, too, in the first half. I have to question some of the coaching on LP’s side, they looked totally unprepared in the first half.
Sounds like a typical parent response right there, using this forum to hide behind. Kind of garbage that pushes good coaches out. You’ll be the same person who questioned why he left of he does.
Sorry, lax, I don’t have anyone connected with the LP program. I just made an observation that they were not prepared from the start. I bounce from site to site watching lax and I just didn’t think they were properly set for such a game. Seems like you guys at LP are a bit sensitive about criticism.
Kellenberg beat Lynbrook 9-8. Nice win for them.
Another got one – Port W over Smithtown E 9-7.
Have to say the biggest difference in that game was one team moving like a team in midseason form. tough draw for L/p facing an elite team for their first game, but they should rebound. Lindsay knows what he’s doing.
Good point, Loyola is in mid season form, L/P is two weeks of practice in. Not to mention that team was absolutely dirty from top to bottom. Good experience for the kids to see what the highest level looks like. No section one team can compete with the top MIAA teams, they recruit the best players to come play for them. I have no doubt that L/P will bounce back, they’re in good hands.
