Why is there so much detest for Spalding? I mean isn't part of building a program recruiting players, coaches and building up facilities and booster funds? They seem to be doing a good job of that. Or are all of you Baltimore prep school cronies who still roll around wearing your alumni gear 30 years after you graduated and need to beg your parents to help pay your kids tuition feeling a little threatened? Spalding has one of the best football, soccer, and baseball programs in the region. Their basketball team was once the best in the area and is head back in that direction. Their girls sports are all ranked in the top 10. So why couldn't they do the same with lacrosse? Unless you live in Towson, Baltimore or along the 83 corridor all of the "traditional" schools are a pain to get to. The school is perfectly located for people in the Annapolis, HoCo, PG and South/West and East Baltimore. From a facilities, athletics, education and cost perspective, Spalding is equal to Calvert Hall, JC and Loyola. So why so much grief?
It is just a few parents whose child didnt get the call to go to Spalding . They are jealous and envious what is going on at Spalding. Dont pay to much attention to these malcontents, Time has passed them by long ago and now they see it passing their children by. Instead of moaning and groaning about Spalding, they should just find a High School with less talent and enroll their son there. Simple solution. It is not like anyone is making a living off lacrosse except the Club Directors
People detest Spalding because Lids and company have been on here for years acting like their kids are God’s gift to youth lacrosse. That has transitioned into them saying Spalding will win the championship for the past couple years and all of us have seen how that has worked out. No one is jealous of anything or anyone to do with Spalding. People(Lids and Spalding dads) who say “your son wasn’t good enough to play for Spalding” are just pissed their son goes to a bottom of the barrel MIAA team and weren’t recruited by schools like Calvert Hall, BL, or McDonogh. Everyone who made the roster of an MIAA team besides MSJ and JC would make Spalding’s team. That’s a fact. No one is jealous of you, please get over yourselves.
Yep. Jealous and eyes green with envy. Just relax and put your son in a school with less talent. He will play and you will finally get to do some bragging.
What exactly are people jealous of if you don’t mind explaining? Is it the countless playoff appearances, all the championships, or even the superb coaching staff who evidently gets the most out of their players? No, it has to be Spalding’s statewide reputation for superior academics.
Whenever someone brings up truths that Spalding dads don’t like to hear they automatically go with “oh you’re jealous and your son isn’t good enough for Spalding” when that’s far from the reality of the situation.
One thing I guarantee you is anyone on here who doesn’t have their sons at Spalding is not jealous of anything to do with Spalding. We’re all beyond pleased with sending our kids somewhere else that values academics and doesn’t let know nothing dads decide the direction the lacrosse program goes.
