exactly.. so how can someone say Greeley will have the best results?
Because, like the parents of these young Greeley classes have been espousing about multiple state championships coming - none of it matters until you do it on the field. And you do it against quality opponents. The youth teams have been good the last couple of years, but once they hit high school and are suddenly playing outside their own age group they don't do as well.
I give them credit for jumping in this stacked group of teams. While it is fall ball and won't be the full roster for anyone, it will be a nice early test for 2025. Listening to mom and dad - who are also the same people running the youth program - constantly tell you how good you are because you beat Yorktown in 7th grade and then not getting the coaching needed in high school is not going to be a successful combination.
The idea that there is some fool culture building at Greeley is laughable. It's being run like a club team, which isn't going to be a long-term success. They loaded up goals against weaker teams and there is no substantive defense. Maybe it gets better this year but Potash is one of the only people on that staff that knows lacrosse. The best players have defected to private school and it remains to be seen whether they can put a more competative schedule for 2025 - and if they do and then lose to those tougher teams, then what?
.
Let's pivot, let's discuss Potash and similar like minded HS coaches.
Seems to me that more schools (Yorktown, John Jay, Somers and Arlington) are going outside the school district pool of candidates for hires. Good for them.
Is Potash in the Chapp school district?
Also, it's good to see singular sport coaching going on! Too many school districts rely upon their own staff to field coaches and it's a mixed bag of talent.
What other schools have outsiders and/or specific lacrosse coaches?
