Before we get set to start Week 2 of our LaxLessons.com all-region team voting and the midfield position, let’s check out the final vote tally for the attack position.

Now, keep in mind, because four attackman/midfielders will be selected to the 20-member team, in addition to four attackmen and four midfielders, some who did not make the top four may still earn a spot on the team. And some attackmen who were voted top four may be positioned as attackman/midfielders.

So here you go:

Final reader votes for LaxLessons.com all-region team/attack

* Nicky Galasso, West Islip, 78

Now, here are the midfield nominees. Remember, you can write in anyone not nominated.

  • Thomas Schreiber, St. Anthony’s
  • Brendan Walsh, Ridgefield

Beginning a week ago, and lasting for the next three weeks, we will have balloting by position. We will present the names of at least five nominees per position and allow you to write in anyone not included. So all players from Westchester, Rockland, Putnam, Dutchess, Nassau, Suffolk and greater Fairfield — including public and private schools — are eligible.

The voting will start at midnight each Sunday and end Saturday at midnight, starting in just a few short hours.

Then, we will move on to another position.

After all the positions are decided on July 4, we will publish our all-region team on Monday, July  6.

On Sunday, July 5, we will start week-long balloting for coach of the year, which will be announced on July 12, the same day we start week-long balloting for region player of the year.

Here’s the order of voting:

    Good to see Froccaro getting votes. Simply stated he’s the most complete middie in the nation.

  3. LionsDen says:

    Ian Braddish and Andrew Hodgson are both as good as it gets. As good as Nicky G. Is, the backbone of this dynasty is the midfield.

  4. S1wss says:

    top 4 ( they take 4 guys)

    Braddish
    Ranagan
    Schreiber
    Marasco* put Interlicchio in at Attack or Fantoni ( both those guys are going to make the Attack/Midfield section anyway though but they are def first team guys)

    maybe give the 4 spots for attack/middie to KI and Dante, and then give two pole middies a spot, would be great to see them get some recognition without taking a spot from a close defender

  5. LI Lax says:

    I think the top 3 are Ranagan, Froccaro and Schreiber in no particular order. Braddish is good but it would be hard ot say he is better than any of those three. Hodgson is almost a lock to make it next year.

    Froccaro is simply the best midfielder in the nation. Most well-rounded player, practically has no weaknesses

    Best i sae this year was Ranagan, Schriber and Braddish. If I had to pick the best of the three its a tough one but it would be Schriber. He looks like a D1 college player already.

  13. section1lax says:

    Straight up, Froccaro is the best middie i’ve seen in a while. Anyone not believe me? Check this out- http://video.insidelacrosse.com/video/view/4gPJlUmEQvHFn8r42Y92aA/ua-highlights-jeff-froccaro?searchTxt=jeff
