We’ve got perfect weather for a showdown between Somers and John Jay, so there should be at least 1,000 people in the stands. There are three big ticket games every season and this is one of them. If you have to ask what the other two are, you’re new to lacrosse in this neck of the woods. I’m going to figure out something to get updates on Twitter despite less than ideal cellular service.
I’m going to be keeping an eye on a couple of games elsewhere. Scarsdale is going to be improving game-to-game, so it will be interesting to see whether the Raiders can run Pelham around. Brewster is due for a win, but Greeley is off to a good start, so there should be plenty of drama there. Pleasantville is playing a really ambitious schedule with a young team and that usually pays dividends somewhere down the road. I doubt it will be today against Rye, but I suppose there’s an outside chance.
Don’t forget to leave a score if you’re out watching today. Please and thank you.

Can we please get the Sav brothers back!!!
Timmy outcoached and Nolan has no clue about offense.
Oh now, now back in 2009 all you JJ fans wanted the Sav’s head and Timmy Schurr was the best thing since sliced bread….remember the “GURU” you all were telling Somers how stupid they were and how smart JJ was….now….............sounds like you aren’t so schurr.
JJ parents will kill the program. You can’t have a bunch of people who know nothing about lax do what they did. I don’t understand how these parents think they are entitled to make the decisions that should be taken care of by the head coach. If your son isnt good enough to make the varisty or play on the varsity then deal with it. The Savs were contending for sectional and state titles almost every year. It really ruins the game and love of coaching when coaches have to deal with idiot parents. The savs are happy at Kennedy now teaching the basics and turning that program into a decent team. Back in the day u listened to the coach and that was the final word. If u didnt like it then u could quit. Now parents think they can make a phone call and change things and i think thats a joke. These kids need to learn how to deal with adversity, mommy and daddy cant be making phone calls for you your entire life making things better. Savs were good coaches, what happened to them was a damn shame and now the JJ parents got what they wanted and will pay for it. No way they go anywhere this year.
At least JJ doesn’t have the LP coaches, who have absolutely no conscience and no regard for doing the right thing at all!!!!
Timmy please hire an offensive coach!!!!!!!
Rebel hater,
I’m curious what you mean by doing the right thing?
Sheen,
I have two questions for you.
Not sure about JJ but most schools don’t have the budget to hire an offense coach. Unless you can find someone to coach for free
Who in their right mind would want to go to JJ and deal with those parents??
Rich JJ has 2 paid coaches for varsity and 1 paid by the booster club
Yes, I would like to place an order for two Savs please! Thank you.
It’s not about the x’s and o’s; it’s about the jimmy’s and joes’s…
Savs had great run with top flight D1 recruits. Cannot expect same level of performance with different level of talent.
Can coaching make a difference? Absolutely! But JJ does not have the talent on offense to beat top programs. Basically have 1 A and 1 M who create challenges. That is easy to stop in a settled 6v6.
Was at the Somers vs. JJ game, 20 minutes before the game as the players were warming up I noticed coach Schurr was NOT on the JJ sidelines, and made his appearance 2 minutes before game time. He was near the concession stand talking to, i think the Nisky coaches, red and black jackets. Dont think that was the best way to get his team ready; for what I thought was a pretty big game for both teams. This could be casuing some of the issues at JJ, and parents questioning priorities
just sayin
And have you noticed Joe Girardi is not on the field while the Yankees warm up, Tom Coughlin isn’t on the field while the Giants warm up, Mike Woodson isn’t on the court while the Knicks warm up. This is stupid. Captains run the pregame warm up. Wanna know what Tim was talking about on the other side of the field … crazy parents with unrealistic expectations.
Professional coaches and managers are not comparable to high school sports. Educators know this. As for parents, I do not know about jj parents, but there is a reason why tony dematteo is a well respected and beloved coach still at somers, and schurr is gone. A good high school coach puts the kids first! A great one wins too.
Mike I think you are in love with Timmy S.!! This is not professional sports captains do not run pregame warm ups coaches do if you are running the ship the right way. Bottom line is kids know if you care or not!
X Marks the spot ask the Bratton Brothers about coaching!!
Unreal how Nolan Keeps stabbing Timmy in the back with these parents..
Linel – thanks for making my point. Loaded JJ of 06-7-8 could play with brattons. Don’t see that level of player on JJ now. Some very good players, but no D1 difference makers.
Huntington high is a real powerhouse also these days? Think not…
