High School Zone: Long Island NY
Photo by Jim Stout/MaxPreps.com It was just the first half of the first game of what Garden City hopes will be a memorable season. But it wasn’t exactly what the Trojans were expecting. Not at all. Garden City wound up pulling away for an 8-1 win at Syosset yesterday afternoon, but the Trojans were held […]
For the last month-plus, we’ve been passing along plenty of college scores here. And this week is no exception, of course. (For a rundown of this week’s D-I scores and the weekend schedule, click here.) But today, for the first time since June 12, 2010, we will have some high school scores from games played […]
Brandon Gamblin enjoyed a prolific scoring performance at this past summer’s Empire State Games. The UMass-bound midfielder finished the tournament with 17 goals in six games as Long Island won its fifth straight gold medal. Gamblin should also have a huge impact this coming varsity season. He’s now a member of the Sachem North Flaming […]
West Islip has dominated Section 11 Class A the last five years. There are no two ways about it. The Class A race in Suffolk is up for grabs. For starters, you’ve got West Islip, which, despite huge graduation losses, has still won four state titles the last five years. There’s also Sachem North, which […]
Two-time defending Class C state champion Manhasset’s move up to Class B for this season is undoubtedly one of the major storylines both regionally and nationally heading into the start of the season. That was among the topics examined as InsideLacrosse.com launched its coverage of the upcoming season in the Hudson Valley/Long Island/Connecticut region. The […]
Garden City will start the 2011 season No. 2 in the nation in the Inside Lacrosse/Under Armour national power rankings. But before worrying about how the stack up nationally, or even making it back to the state championship game, the Trojans first have to find a way to get out of Nassau County. That’s because […]
Photo by Miles Tintle The 2011 season promises to be one of the most interesting — and challenging — in the long and storied history of Manhasset’s boys lacrosse statement. That’s a bold statement, to be sure. But consider this. The Indians, who have won back-to-back Class C state titles, have moved up to Class […]
The adidas National Lacrosse Classic is set for this July in Maryland and the nation’s No. 1 lacrosse hotbed, the Hudson Valley/Long Island/Connecticut region, will be well-represented. A total of 17 players from the region (all current high school juniors are sophomores) were selected to the 25-member East Region team. Eight regions throughout the country, […]
When Garden City players walked off the field after losing to Jamesville-DeWitt 11-5 on June 12 in the Class B state title game at Stony Brook University, it marked the end of the season. But not the end of many of those players’ championship hopes. After all, the nucleus of that Trojans’ team is back […]
We’ve talked a good deal here about the abundance of talent Garden City has entering the 2011 season. But equally as important is another attribute the Trojans are also blessed with. Experience. The Trojans, who fell to Jamesville-DeWitt last year in the Class B state title game at Stony Brook, have a strong group of […]
Garden City is preparing to officially start defense of its Long Island Class B championship. If the Trojans are to once again emerge from a stacked field of contenders that now includes two-time Class C state champion Manhasset, defense will play a big role. Garden City is well-equipped in that area with a unit that […]
I’m not big on preseason predictions, but I am about to make one with 100 percent certainty. Ready? Here goes. The Manhasset Indians will not win a third straight Class C state championship in 2011. Why am I so certain, you ask? Well, as many of you know by now, it’s because Manhasset will be […]
Much of the preseason chatter involving Section 1 Class B has centered on defending champion John Jay, 2009 champion Somers and the two new additions to the class: Yorktown and Rye. But there are several others teams that certainly bear watching. We’ll be focusing on a couple of them in the days to come. First […]
It was quite a start to the season. To say the least. Sachem North pulled off one of the biggest upsets imaginable. The Flaming Arrows stunned the nation’s top-ranked team, West Islip, 13-12 in overtime, in an opening-week shocker last season. It proved to be the Lions’ first and only loss in a season in […]
West Islip has dominated Section 11 Class A the last five years. But there could be a new sheriff in town. In addition to traditional power Ward Melville, Sachem North, which handed West Islip its only loss last season, looks strong, along with East Islip and Connetquot. So too does Smithtown West. After all, the […]
