wow

This debate has become awefully heated. In my opinion, Masi doesn't even come close to being the athlete or student or person that Greg Mahoney is. He led MI to State this year with only 5 other returning varsity players and a BRAND NEW defence. Ya Masi is sick but, but he is not even close to Greg. He is maybe a little better than AJ, just cuz AJ is lazy. Mason Smith, get a life looser. You just wish you could grow up on Mercer Island.

Wow

"Masi doesn't even come close to being the athlete or student or person that Greg Mahoney is." Who do you think you are? The only thing you know about Dylan Masi is that he's 5'6" and consistently burns defenders that are 6'2" and have 60 lbs on him. Having played and gone to school with Dylan for three years, I actually know that he is an amazing player, a better student, and a great person. I don't know who is the 'better person' or lacrosse player, but you sure don't either. Your alias is FYBI for christsakes, that in itself tells me a lot about you. Why don't you muster up the courage to call people out and make outlandish, erroneous statements under your own name? By the way, Mason isn't a .... just because you don't agree with him, he just calls out spoiled little kids who feel the need to insult the character of players on other teams.  I have plenty of respect for anybody from Mercer who can ball or is tight but you definitely don't fall into either of those categories. You're making Mercer look bad, along with d-middie and whoever else, just stop, you're embarassing yourself.

Hetto

wow...how pissed are you right now seean forseeyth? You need another way to vent your pent up anger from lack of poontang. First of all, this is biased because you are jealous of Mercer Island and I hate you because you stereotype Mercer Island out of jealousy. Catch my drift? Secondly, my name is FYBI because how do you even know im from mercer island? Maybe im from Bainbridge...or Issiquah....or Canada...or South Africa. you will never know. you know why? because i have a secret identity and you dont. So put that in your pipe and smoke it up fat and cough it out.

I think that, through a

I think that, through a little deductive reasoning, I've been able to figure out that you're from Mercer. I don't need a secret identity to mask my opinion, the only reason that you do is because your opinions and arguments are an emabarrassment to everyone who reads them. I posted because I felt it was ridiculous for some kid to say that Greg Mahoney was a better player, student and person than Dylan Masi. Not so much from a lack of 'poontang'.

for the record, i was the

for the record, i was the one who called mason out on him insulting other players. he even said so on the comment below. and you can't get angry at people for having money buddy. it just means there smarter and more succseful than you so suck it up and hit the books and maybe you can be rich too. Mahony deserves the award, not to bring down masi though from what i hear he is a good guy and i know that he is a great lacrosse player

wow...

you know, i was having fun watching this little debate turned diss sess from afar until you posted this little gem here. way to really sink to the lowest level possible and try to attack somebody because of what their parents might be worth. and you go on to say that "if you suck it up and hit the books and maybe you can be rich too." thats a real tactful way of you declaring and bragging that you, yourself, are rich. and nothing is worse than a rich kid that brags about the money he did absolutely nothing to earn. then, haha, this part makes me laugh because the irony is JUST SO WONDERFUL here. all you mercer kids are talking about what great students all you are and FYBI cant even spell "loser" properly. i know this is a message board and all but they let you preview your comment for a reason. and props to forsyth for just using his name as his alias, that requires balls that i myself do not have.

i wasnt the one who brought

i wasnt the one who brought up the money thing. i just Retaliated to it. and mason, how is it not insulting to somebody to say that they suck on a public blog. And i beleive that if the All-state lists from years back are correct, Aj made first team and you didn'y. So like i said before your pathetic, meaningless higschool lacrosse career is over, so go worry about something else. and o yeah, ISSAQUAH SUCKS AND THEY ALWAYS WILL. i am now officially done with this blog

AHHAHAHAHAHAHA

And your pathetic meaningless career is still in progress.

Enjoy JV champ.

BUNG

Aye, I would rather bleed out then be a resident of that inhospitable location.

I wasn't insulting AJ. It wasn't like I was making libelous statements, AJ really does suck. The only team that had more than one good defensemen this year was BI, and we all know the show that AJ put up against them...

And honestly, its really getting old having sophomores in high school call me out. So if in the future you feel like doing so, please be curteous and leave a name.

Lastly, I don't think Sean is in any financial trouble, way to play out your stereotypes d-mid.

A.J. Ellis

Mason- How could he "suck" if he led the state in points for D-1? You can argue that he's not better than Mahony, Masi, etc, but you can't say he just flat out sucks when he starts on MI and leads the state in scoring.

I'll put it this way.

He is good at what he does, but what he does is not good. I admit, I am pretty perplexed that he somehow landed the point title, but when I look at him from a defensive stand point he doesn't have a very good left hand. His two moves are cutting up from X and getting high side for a shot, or a big face dodge inside. Both of those are pretty easy to defend against. I translate that to sucking.

THANK YOU.

FYBI is correct. mahony is the man. AND AJ IS SIIIICKK

I think lax d-middie should

I think lax d-middie should be player of the year.

i think your right

I would give it to mahoney.

I would give it to mahoney. Both masi and mahoney are great players, but mahoney had less supporting players than masi leaving more of the work up to him.

Please take Ellis off the

Please take Ellis off the list. Thats an embaressment to washington lacrosse.

haha

funny.

first of all this isnt a

first of all this isnt a website to trash on guys cause your jealous of how much better they are than you at lacrosse, and second, he was the leading scorer in D1 and nobody could gaurd him, not only should he be on this list but he should have been an all-american over dylan masi. hes playing at villanova next year which is a D1 school. therefore he completely deserves to be on this list. and for your information i made this list so i can put who ever i want on it, even the freshman on MI

OUCH. i'm hurt that a little

OUCH. i'm hurt that a little spoiled freshman from MI just said Ellis is better than I am. We will just have to see about that one.

For the record, How many goals did Ellis score with his left hand??
What is Ellis one move? Push the right pipe? And because the level of defense downshot this year, no one would slide...

Did you go to the all star game? Well I did, I think he might have had 13 shots and none of them went into the goal...

Ellis' A hole is all yours man!!

state game

not to trash on guys like you are but from what i watched i would say ellis had around 3-6 shots. he had zero assists? (notsure about that) but he did have some nice completed passes and maybe a groundball.

lax-d middie.

I have been making an effort to not talk about players, but youre just ridiculous.

AJ is not good, to even utter Dylan Masi and AJ Ellis in the same breath makes me sick to my stomach. Did you even watch the state championship game? AJ was running to the restraining lines to get away from BI's kids. Good play for a "snubbed" AA.

And hes walking on to Villanova, kind of like how someone else walked on to Virginia. Got it?

that one was a bit much.

that one was a bit much. mahony was without a doubt the best player in the state last year and to compare him to ellis is a bit brash. mahony could take anyone in the state last year and the state championship proved it so lets not fault him for not making the best team in the country a year after they won the national championship.

but overall, this has become the stupidest and most ridiculous messageboard ever. the discussion gone outside lacrosse skill to things like money, character, and general intelligence. things that people on opposing teams know nothing about. everyone here is just reinforcing the rich-kid/jackass stereotype of all lacrosse players. you are all making us look like douchebag idiots. take a chill pill on the BS and talk about lacrosse.

okay well were all entitled

okay well were all entitled to our opinions but who do you supose i put in AJ's place. he is the leading scorer in D1 and he deserves to be on the list

ellis

he's leading scorer in d1 because he racked up points against the worst team. a perfect example seattle prep 13 points. the freshmen from MI could do that. look at all his points prep, roughriders, lakeside.... doesnt deserve to be on the list and agreed never should both AJ and Masi be in the same sentence..

whatever but vote for mahony

whatever but vote for mahony because masi has more votes than him now. and mahony deserves it

You are so stupid.

You are so stupid. You think the winner of this poll is just going to win player of the year? I have a good idea: hey everyone, lets vote for AJ 100 times so he can get the player of the year!

why are you such an a-hole.

why are you such an a-hole. its just a poll for an award. its not the presidential election, and you dont have to get angry about everything. i think your just bitter because issaquah sucks. im glad you enjoy arguing with highschool kids about a stupid award when you've already ended your pathetic, meaningless highschool career.

Dude, come on

Dude, that hurts my feelings. I'm pretty sure Issaquah will get over the hump.

I am an a-hole because people are dumb. Kind of like you.

P.S. I just enjoy lacrosse, you kids talk high school lax, so I talk high school lax, you want to talk about college lax, and I'll argue about college. We are all friends here, just some people are smarter than others.

well apparently were not all

well apparently were not all friends because you called me stupid. and im a national merit scholar so put that in your pipe and smoke it..... stupid

difference

there is a difference between getting good grades and being smart. School takes organization and effort but you can extremely dumb and still get good grades look around you everyone knows a kid who gets 4.0 but wouldnt make it 10 seconds on their own away from their parents.

And I bet your parents

And I bet your parents bought you some really nice gear to accompany those impeccible grades.

Congrats on the National Merrit stuff, definitely something I didn't do. Unfortunately I would have to say that your lacrosse IQ rivals a brick.

At least you are going to college though.

Mahony

Mahony by far and away. An outstanding citizen, takes his education seriously, keeps his nose clean, and most importantly (at least in regard to the forum topic) An amazing athlete, definetly one of the top two athletes in the state. Only other competition is Brian Gilbreath, a breakdown defender and freakish athlete (I personally think he was a little better in terms of athleticism). However, Mahony had more weight on his shoulders and still lead MI to their seventh consecutive state championship, and played close with Bainbridge at state, Bainbridge was obviously a deeper team. Mahony, other competition doesnt even come close to this kid

but is lacrosse all about

but is lacrosse all about cranking 90+ mph shots in the top corners?

we should add hoffman and

we should add hoffman and rohrbach to list list

Adding Hoffman

Hoffman needs to be added - Garfield would have gone nowhere without him. Garfield won games because every time they scored they got the ball back (because Hoffman won faces) and had a good chance at scoring again.
