Manhasset Boys Varsity Laxers Capture Third State Crown

Part II

Although it would have been difficult to admit it, the Comsewogue defeat probably did provide a much-needed wake-up call. Talent was important but old-fashioned grit, determination and hard work would be much needed if Manhasset was to enjoy the kind of season the team envisioned. And those requirements were demonstrated immediately as the squad again went on the road (in the middle of a virtual monsoon) for the annual inter-state confrontation with perennially nationally ranked Darien. For some reason (probably because both schools develop many great lacrosse players), these teams annually produce sensational barn-burners (e.g. 14-13 for MHS in 2007, Darien on top 16-15 in a 2006 overtime thriller, an 11-9 Manhasset victory in 2001 and, in their 1997 initial meeting, the kids from across the sound by 12-11 in OT).
