It really is embarrassing for St. A's or Chaminade to ever lose to a public school. It should not happen...Congrats to Massapequa.
This statement is getting old, not to mention it's just foolish.
Why shouldn't they ever lose to a public? Why do some here degrade competitive public programs in this way?
As we all know, there are some towns where the game is nurtured from a very young age. The "better" athletes gravitate to lacrosse and play together for their entire childhood. Not only do they play PAL together, but they might also have a travel town team. Some may play on different club teams, but they always come back together for town when needed. By the time these players enter middle school, the high school team is already selected and the players are well indoctrinated in the style of play and culture of the high school team before they even get there. Massapequa fits this mold perfectly.
There are 20,000 plus kids living in Massapequa. If the lacrosse machine there plays its cards right it should remain competitive for many years to come.
