Anybody laughing now? Reading the comments in this week’s LaxLessons Top 25 regional rankings thread, it became fairly clear that a lot of people weren’t too sure about our selection of Manhasset as the area’s No. 1 team.

Sophomore Mike Daniello scored off the initial possession of overtime to give John Jay a dramatic 11-1- win over 2008 Class A finalist Syosset Saturday night. You can watch the goal here.

Yorktown 9, Chaminade 8, OT. John Jay 11, Syosset 10, OT. There were no league championships at stake in those two games today. No sectional seedings were on the line either. But both games had a playoff feel to them. And for good reason. After all, this is why they play these games. Though they […]

With a thick white haze engulfing the field, tonight’s game between Somers and host Lakeland/Panas had a unique feel to it. It’s a feeling Somers hopes to experience once again real soon. […]
