    Baldwin is the Cinderella team. Fun story. I see one more upset for them … 8-7 over Hicksville.

    Lynbrook 9 – Garden City 8 in OT. No respect all year for the 17-2 Owls of Lynbrook! Hicksville 8 Baldwin 6.

  5. IslandLaxpert says:

    Agreed Petey. Lynbrook has been under everyone’s radar, even Joe who has done such a fantastic job with this groundbreaking site. They’re a nice team to watch.

    Now hold on, Petey. The Owls have been howling around the Top 10 of our Top 25 since maybe the second or third week of the season. They’re No. 9 in our latest poll.

    BTW gang. Our Top 25 is now in place until the end of the season when we release our final rankings. If you want to check the most recent rankings, check this link:

  10. Pequa says:

    I’d love to hear more from those who think WM will beat WI. Yeah their D is great but after losing to them already and having the motivation of last year’s devastating loss to Syosset I just don’t see WI being denied. Thoughts?

  11. DantesInferno says:

    I agree Pequa. After St. A’s, WI is definately the best team in this whole region.

  12. LionsDen says:

    There’s no shame in having a loss. Ward Melville has a few of them. To their credit they beat WI though That was then, this is now. It’s for keeps.

    WI 11, WM 6

  13. LI Lax says:

    I do think that overall WI is a better team than WM, but the matchups in this case favor WM. WI is far less dangerous when forced into a 6 on 6 offensive set, and WM is one of the few teams which can prevent them from getting out in transition. WM’s defense will win this game for them, they will get just enough on the offensive end and win 60+% of the faceoffs which will allow them to control possession and keep WI’s high powered offense in check.

  16. Jonesie says:

    No way WM beats WI twice. Not happening.

    WM 5

  21. Joe Lombardi says:

    Tom DeNapoli breaks the ice for Lynbrook, which now trails GC 7-1 in the third quarter.

  22. Joe Lombardi says:

    Garden City is enjoying one of its best offensive games of the season and leads Lynbrook 10-3 after three quarters.
