This sounds like a Chaminade coach trying to poach more of the public schools talent. You're not beating St. Anthony's anytime soon just give it up. Manhasset is having down year, they lost four All Americans from a year ago, among many other great players, and have numerous injuries this year. Manhasset dominated everyone last year despite having multiple division 1 commits at other high schools. If they retained all of their talent they could have ran the table against the whole country. This is true in many years, especially with Manhasset and Garden City and occasionally South Side. For example, if South Side got their players back from Chaminade this year they would would dominate if the two teams played. DOMINATE! The Notre Dame and UNC commits from Rockville Centre were the only reason that Chaminade was competitive this year with their lackluster schedule. As for the statement "Chaminades JV would beat Syosset by 10" is just an ignorant. No doubt there is some great talent on the team but they played a crappy schedule and lost twice to St. Anthony's JV team which was made up of mainly freshman. That is just embarrassing, the gap between Chaminade and St. Anthony's has grown quite a bit. I would say this is because of poor Chaminade coaching and the fact that they play a weak schedule. If you think player will develop better on Chaminade JV rather than a varsity team such as Garden City, South Side, or Manhasset who are making a run at a state championship you are foolish. They could get a ton of exposure, playing at Hofstra in the county and state playoffs in late May and early June when the NCAA season is practically over. Chaminade's season ends before the NCAA tournament even starts. Public school is healthy and advantageous choice, I don't get the shade towards them.
