2024 was a tremendous year for lacrosse in Nassau County. To increase competition the Nassau coaches voted to create a select Power League, consisting of the nine top programs in the county. The remaining squads continued to play in their respective conferences based on school enrollments. South Side was the regular season Power League champion, finishing with a 7-1 record, only falling to Wantagh during league play. There were four classes for the Section VIII tournament. Farmingdale (A), South Side (B), Wantagh (C), and Cold Spring Harbor (D) were he top seeds and they all won championships. 

Farmingdale won the A championship for the second consecutive year by downing Massapequa, 7-5. In Class B, South Side defeated Manhasset for the championship, 12-10. Wantagh won the C title defeating first time finalist Island Trees by the score of 13-4. Cold Spring Harbor won their third straight Class D championship by routing second-seeded Friends Academy, 15-8. 

At the end of the year, the Nassau County coaches selected the post-season award winners including their All-Conference and All-County players. Then they selected nine US Lacrosse All-Americans and nine US Lacrosse All-Academic selections. Named All-Americans were Brendan O'Keefe (Farmingdale), David Disque (Syosset), Jake Martini (Wantagh), Owen West  (South Side), Michael Aiello (South Side),

For the Seahawks, it was the their third straight title in Class D under head coach Dennis Bonn. The highlight of their tournament run was a stirring 6-5 victory over Pleasantville in the semifinals at SUNY Albany. 

For South Side, it was a season to remember! The Cyclones were slight favorites in a stacked Nassau Class B that included Garden City and Manhasset. South Side won the inaugural regular season Power League title, suffering only one setback during league play to Wantagh. They had an incredible playoff run, winning close, come-from-behind games against Yorktown in the semifinals and Victor in the championship at Hofstra to earn the second NYS Class B title in school history. 

Farmingdale appeared in the NYS Class A championships for the second straight year, falling to McQuaid Jesuit in overtime, 8-7, at Hofstra in the final. The highlight of the Dalers playoff run for first-year head coach Eric Dunne was a dominant win over Half Hallow Hills in the Long Island Championships. 

Wantagh was led all season by their prolific offense that averaged a county-leading 13.3 goals per game. The Warriors handed South Side their only loss of the season, a 15-11 home triumph on April 10th and won their second Nassau title (and first since 2001) with a 13-4 win over Island Trees. Wantagh battled eventual Class C state champ Bayport-Blue Point in the LIC but fell by the score of 9-7, ending a excellent season for Wantagh.

With wins in Class B and D, Nassau kept their streak of at least one NYS championship intact, a stretch of 14 championship seasons that dates back to 2009. Schools that have helped keep the streak going include Cold Spring Harbor, Farmingdale, Garden City, Massapequa, Manhasset, and South Side.
