Topic: PREDICATIONS FOR NASSAU COUNTIES (TEAMS!!)

who will win the nassau team competition.

many teams are vying for a championship but who will come out on top.

 garden city.....great neck south.....jericho.....great neck north......oysterbay ????!!!!????

 lets hear some thoughts

Oyster Bay also beat Jericho in the 2nd meet(1-1) on the year.  Oyster Boys, lol, also have a Strong foil team led by Collins and a nice trio for epee, maybe not the best, but, a unique group.  Very dangerous as all three have very different styles.  I see Garden City, GNS, GNN,  and OB in the final four, depending on how the seeding goes for the playoffs. 

For the girls I see Garden City, GNN, Oyster Bay, and CSH in the final four.  And since it's been OB and GNN in the finals the last 3 years, might as well keep riding that horse.  they've swaped the championship every other year.  GNN, then OB, then GNN again, guess it's OB's turn again, lol.  We shall see.  Either way, I think they're will be some very good qtr, semi, final matches. 
the top five teams are very equally matched, the 5th being GNS.  Those that still have one more meet in the regular season good prove to be very decisive.  A win or loss could move a team from 5th to 2nd or 1st to 4th.  yikes.

fyi
its been GNN. GNN,GNN then OB and back to GNN
its going to be intersting to see who goes off into finals
the Great neck south meet agains North could screw things up though

Thanks for the fyi.  Either way.  whoever wins the nassau championships it don't a hill o' beans if they can't knock Ward-Melville of that pedestal.  Maybe for a goof next year all the top best of the best in Nasau all move to one school;  a lottery will decide wich one;  A Nasau dream team.  haha whoooh a litle too much red bull, monster beverages tonight.  Although A thought it would be goff if last year Putterman, Pearlman,  and Shore were all on the same team.  Imagine being the number 4 behind that line-up. 

I beleive GC will finish 8-2; then it gets really weird.  If South girls beat North and OB beats CSH before the 27th bout then they all might finish 7-3.  Not sure about CSH's record though.  Imagine that.  tuesday match's on both boys and girls sides can move  team from 2nd to 5th or vice versa.  If south boys lose then they'll be 7-3 along with OB(if they beat CSH) and Jericho already finished at 7-3.  They may end up as the 5th seed.  eeegadst!!  However, if the old lady crosses the road before she sings after the bells ring before 7pm then all bets are off. 

Tomuch red bull.  errr

I have to agree.  Judging by the Brentwood meet (that many Nassau teams were not able to make) and the JO Qualifiers, the Suffolk teams (mainly Ward-Melville and Brentwood) are clearly deeper and stronger than any Nassau team.  Even the strongest Nassau schools may have only one or two fencers in each weapon who could compete against the top Suffolk fencers.  An all-star Nassau team against an all-star Suffolk team might be somewhat more intersting.

 The GNN vs GNS meet tonight has many playoff ramifications in both boys and girls playoffs.

Okay.  By using the lightspeed breakway method I've traveled to the future to see the outcome.  On the boys side:  GC, GNS, and JER all advance.  OB upsets North, again.  Gold medal between GNS and GC.  OB beats JER for the BRonze. 

In the Girls draw...GNN, CSH, and OB advance.  GC upset by a fired up Hew.  OB and CSH for the Gold.  North beats HEW for the Bronze.  And CSH pulls out a tough one against division rival OB. 

Or not. 

fyi--the commack team has beaten brentwood 14-13 twice this season.  they are looking pretty sharp this year.

there is no way OB will beat JER in guys for the "bronze," as you say.
isn't JER division champs?

Well, could go either way.  they are 1-1 against each other.  And of GNS's 2 losses one of them is to OB.  Although, I imagine JER is going to be  a bit fired up should that match-up happen.  Hey, any given Saturday. 

I agree GC will win the gold.   But, stranger things have happened.  Curious though.  does anyone know if the number 1 seed had ever lost in the qtr finals in either Boys or girls teams? 

 Jericho won divison champs last year and this year.  and there is no way ob will beat jericho. sorry but no and razztazz is life

Let's break it down then.  Sabre:  Advantage Jericho...bigtime.  Foil:  Advantage Oyster Bay.  So, let's call those two a wash.  That leaves it to Epee then.  I'd call that to close to call.  Could go either way.  the two may not even face each other.  The 6 seed team might knock Jericho out of it, lol.  Or North holds it's ground against OB.   I would not be the least bit surprised if the 8,7,6,5 seeds knock out the top 4.  I can't figure this season out.  I'll just wait and see. 

GNN vs OB should be a very close match, as it has been for the last coupl of years. theyv sort of got a litl rivalry goin on now that they face each other in playoffs once again after last year when a better team (than this year's team) lost to OB due to a certain, thick glassed, old gangly, prone to memory lapses and has an apparent problem of not being able to realize wat happens under his nose. The notorious ref is obvioulsy BERNIE who has created his own excitement thru out the nassau county league with his apparently random calls and rules that he makes up on a whim. Going bak to ur other point, i realy dont see wheatley beatin jericho. so count on jericho to be at the final rounds on saturday. on the case of ur matchups, i defintely agree with everythin u see. The jericho saber squad has proven itself to be the best sabre squad in nassau for the past 3 or so years. When u hav fields and leung finishing 2nd and 1st in the individuals, who both also were slected as members of the all county first team, and combine that with their "worst" fencer who finishd in the top 8, and u got one of the top sabre squads in all of long island. I gotta believe that OB will win the fight in foil due to jericho only habin one good foil who also finished in the top 6. (4th or 3rd i think) So it will coem down to epee. this week is gonna be nuts and there could be defeinietly some surprises to who is gonna show up on saturdy at the OB (who i think r hostin?)
