Re: High School Lax Boys B_O_T_C #149710 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A kids - kids - kids, first of all the original post was knocking Chammy not exalting Syosset, it was a clumsy attempt at mocking what is the well known superior high school Long Island, everybody assumes it was a Syosset athletic supporter who made the post and now the entire hamlet is suffering the wrath of the BOTC community. Syosset is a wonderful place to raise a family with excellent schools, wonderful parks and probably the most beautiful section of Jericho Turnpike west of Jamesport. Please let's just all get along!!!! But if you feel the need to anonymously post your negativity toward the Home of The Braves please remember, we don't like you either and ESAD

Re: High School Lax Boys Anonymous #149783 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A Not big on looking back or living in the past. Nobody cares about last year. Will it be the same two or three teams fighting it out for the county championship? Will there be any surprises? Nassau A: Syosset, Massapequa. Any other teams have a chance? Suffolk A: Smithtown East, Northport, West Islip. Any other teams?

The better HS programs bring up freshman so they can play in blowout games the better HS programs that bring up freshman do it for a variety of reason, kids get better practicing against better players, better practice coaching, experience that will be needed down the road and keep the team "better" for years to come and in some cases the freshman help the teams win that year.

Forget about starting on the 2017 or 2016 teams. A public HS team is not a club team. Saying no 2019 could play on a 2018 club team holds no weight. Although I think a few certainly can. I am not sure if the question asked is from someone who Just wants to know which school has the best 2019 class (if so please go on the 2019 thread for that) or If it is truely if Freshman will find time on varsity. Personally, I think there are a lot of freshman across the island who will get play. Some in top towns some not. Remembering (what many hate to hear) 4 towns all have returning 2019's to their varsity teams from last year. I know you will say not the elite schools but experience none the less and All with playoff experience.

Re: High School Lax Boys Anonymous #149899 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A St Anthonys and Chaminade coaches were absolutely brilliant. I'm talking genius. Starting a club team and make a small mint each. But here is what isn't talked about. They brainwashed the parents. And the parents had no idea it was happening. Hey Joe Parent, don't you want to be associated with a winner? So what if you son is on the C team. You can still stand under our tent, and feel good about yourself. So what if we aren't going to promote your kid. He can still play in summer tournaments. Who cares that there are no college coaches watching? Who cares that the coaching is sub par. Wear our apparel and you too can "feel" like a winner. Over a decade of that thinking and here you have St. Anthonys and Chaminade. If you have been around the lacrosse block a few years, ask yourself this. 15, 20, 25 years ago what parent in their right mind would send their kid to a private school to be 3rd, 4th, 5th string? To be one of 8 goalies? To get cut because 100 kids go out for the team? And pay thousands of dollars on top of that? A travel team mentality now rules the high school lacrosse world. This isn't about their kids. I know of kids that would be stars on their public high school team only to be cut by one of the Big 2. This is about the parents and puffing out their chests that there son goes to a winner. Not plays for a winner. Goes to a winner. Well played directors. Well played. And as an added bonus you get the arrogant MC telling everyone which kids suck and will never play. Only in America. LOL

I believe the post said "start" not just "play " on a "top" club team not just any "club" team. The post said there are "very few" it did not say none. I agree with the poster as he was responding to a post that was asking "what programs have the best crop of ready for varsity 9th graders". By using the word "crop" he was implying many players. If the top HS programs on the Island have to bring up a bunch of 9th graders the programs are in fact watered down. There are very few 9th graders who would "start" on the 2018 91 A Team.

Wear our apparel and you too can "feel" like a winner. Over a decade of that thinking and here you have St. Anthonys and Chaminade. If you have been around the lacrosse block a few years, ask yourself this. 15, 20, 25 years ago what parent in their right mind would send their kid to a private school to be 3rd, 4th, 5th string? To be one of 8 goalies? To get cut because 100 kids go out for the team? And pay thousands of dollars on top of that? A travel team mentality now rules the high school lacrosse world. This isn't about their kids. I know of kids that would be stars on their public high school team only to be cut by one of the Big 2. This is about the parents and puffing out their chests that there son goes to a winner. Not plays for a winner. Goes to a winner. Well played directors. Well played. And as an added bonus you get the arrogant MC telling everyone which kids suck and will never play. Only in America. LOL Thank you for this totally original, never been said before post! let me cut you off before your next few insightful posts. HS coaches who also coach summer teams are bad, daddy coaches are bad, Donald Trump does not like illegal immigrants, anonymous posters are really tough people and you think your kid should have been made the express A team Very insightful......you must be the south shore type in there 10 year old dodge Ram with 91 stickers all over it.

If these programs are bringing up "a crop" of 9th graders HS lacrosse is really watered down. There are very few if any 2019's who would start on the top 2018 club teams. Forget about starting on the 2017 or 2016 teams. I disagree now that I think about it. A 2019 can play on a 2016 2017 travel team especially if he was the only one. You are not talking about a team of 2019's verses a team of 2016 2017 but a well place player can play. Especially whe surrounded by experienced players. I believe the post said "start" not just "play " on a "top" club team not just any "club" team. The post said there are "very few" it did not say none. I agree with the poster as he was responding to a post that was asking "what programs have the best crop of ready for varsity 9th graders". By using the word "crop" he was implying many players. If the top HS programs on the Island have to bring up a bunch of 9th graders the programs are in fact watered down. There are very few 9th graders who would "start" on the 2018 91 A Team. All these posts about the question yet no answers to the question. Are there any teams likely to have 2 or more freshmen playing up on varsity?

Publics beat privates many times. Anyone who buys the argument that private is better at lacrosse just doesn't go to a good public. I highly doubt the kid was cut. However, if he was then shame on the coaches. If true that he was cut (which I doubt) the coaches probably cost the team a championship or two. He is by far the best player to come out of that town in the past 20 or 30 years. Over the years Chaminade and St. Anthony's have had great players from towns that have strong lacrosse programs as well as strong academics. Maybe, just maybe they choose to go to a Catholic School for more than just lacrosse. Kids from Massapequa, Syosset, CSH, Huntington, Ward Melville, Smithtown, Garden City, Manhasset etc... As for the question of being better for lacrosse. I would ask, over the past 10 years what schools have produced the most NCAA Devision 1 All Americans? The only public that I can think of that would even come close to Chaminade and St. Anthony's would be West Islip. Garden City is a great program but I am not sure of even GC comes close. There are a lot of great public schools with great lacrosse programs. I do understand why some on this site harbor such animosity towards the privates.

Re: High School Lax Boys B_O_T_C #149919 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A Rumor has it that Express was created to give the kid a place to play after he was cut from his own town.

Re: High School Lax Boys B_O_T_C #149926 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A The best players should go to private if they want to. All for school choice. It's the parents of the kids that aren't elite that are the problem. They'd rather have their kid never see a minute of playing time to be on a winner, versus being an intricate part of their public school team or even a lower private school. It's the parents' selfishness and egos not the Directors being pointed out. The sheep willingly follow.

If you are a good player, and have any sense of community pride, stay home and help lift your own program instead of spending all that time and $$$ to go private and ride the pine. So you say to stay at your public school with the kids baggy pants and backward baseball hats etc..etc....instead of attending a school with strong religious and community based principles and rated as one of the top 50 athletic programs in the nation and the #1 athletic program in NY State. Stop with your nonsense.

Re: High School Lax Boys B_O_T_C #150039 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A No, that's what you say! My kids public education and top rated athletic program is just fine, evident by the stellar programs he and his peers are committed to attend. Oh, and he only wears Polo clothing. Love seeing him look sharp and rock those AP exams! Hek, he my even enter college as a sophomore with all the AP and other college level offerings he's taking advantage of. Life is good!

Re: High School Lax Boys Anonymous #150044 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A So your position is that only at Chaminade do elite players get most of the time? Have you ever watched GC or Manhasset or any other top, competitive program? They have their stars and they leave them out their most of the time. You live and play in a top district and that is what you will be confronting. Not everybody gets a trophy.

Re: High School Lax Boys Anonymous #150046 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A Well there you have it. We finally get to the real issue. Dad feels guilty he brought his family into a non-lacrosse town with derelicts in the school system. So now he can feel good about himself that his son goes to a winner and hangs out with kids he wouldn't otherwise in his lower middle class community.

Re: High School Lax Boys Anonymous #150047 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A I attended a public HS and State University as did my wife. Our children go to public school as well. I could care less where other people send their children to school or where they have them play lacrosse. Do what you believe to be best for your children. Why do some of you have such animosity, why the resentment, why such bitterness regarding the private schools. Why do you call their lacrosse teams "All Star" teams? Why do you refer to their clubs as "elite" clubs? Do only the "best" players from each town attend the privates? Do you realize how petty and foolish you sound? Why do you care where other parents decide to send their children to school? As far as lacrosse goes, I think West Islip and maybe Garden City are the only public schools that even come close to St Anthony's and Chaminade over the past 10 years. If you are looking at what schools best prepare the kids for college lacrosse I would say only West Islip can compare with the two privates. What other school have put out a significant number of D1 All Americans over the past 10 years. I have seen the term "elite" used too liberally, I would define a D1 All American as "elite". I would not use the term to describe a kid who plays for a club team.

Re: High School Lax Boys Anonymous #150049 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A Originally Posted by Anonymous why? because they chose to go to private /catholic school doesn't mean they are the best from each community. look at Chaminade. you mean to tell me that the best GC and Manhasset players chose Chammy? ridiculous When picking from a pool of over 100 vs maybe 45 in a large lacrosse town, c'mon, we know where the odds are stacked. Plus you have the two major club teams as a feeder system. Stop with the nonsense. Chaminade has kids commuting from all over the Island including Suffolk.

Re: High School Lax Boys Anonymous #150092 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A I can't even imagine how difficult it is going through life as bitter as some of you people are. The amount of energy wasted carrying on about how public schools are better than private schools. The bitterness directed at kids who play for 91 or express. The gloating when St. A's or Chammy lose a game is pathetic. Some of you are deeply troubled and in need of mental help.

Re: High School Lax Boys B_O_T_C #150145 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A How about a very good Chaminade kid (2018) that was cut. Guess he plays on the wrong club team. Somehow if he played for the Express, I'm sure he would have made the team. And like many parents too embarrassed to go back to public. So they say, oh well, at least he's getting a good education. But the kid wants to play high school lacrosse. Winners: 2 private High schools, LIE and, parents. Losers: the children.

I'm talking genius. Starting a club team and make a small mint each. But here is what isn't talked about. They brainwashed the parents. And the parents had no idea it was happening. Hey Joe Parent, don't you want to be associated with a winner? So what if you son is on the C team. You can still stand under our tent, and feel good about yourself. So what if we aren't going to promote your kid. He can still play in summer tournaments. Who cares that there are no college coaches watching? Who cares that the coaching is sub par. Wear our apparel and you too can "feel" like a winner. Over a decade of that thinking and here you have St. Anthonys and Chaminade. If you have been around the lacrosse block a few years, ask yourself this. 15, 20, 25 years ago what parent in their right mind would send their kid to a private school to be 3rd, 4th, 5th string? To be one of 8 goalies? To get cut because 100 kids go out for the team? And pay thousands of dollars on top of that? A travel team mentality now rules the high school lacrosse world. This isn't about their kids. I know of kids that would be stars on their public high school team only to be cut by one of the Big 2. This is about the parents and puffing out their chests that there son goes to a winner. Not plays for a winner. Goes to a winner. Well played directors. Well played. And as an added bonus you get the arrogant MC telling everyone which kids suck and will never play. Only in America. LOL maybe, just maybe, people send their kids to those schools for reasons other than lacrosse and the kid happens to play lacrosse as well. Would you also be surprised if it were the kids themselves that actually want to go to those schools and not just for lacrosse. Wishful thinking but in reality it's the parents decision in my guess over 90 percent. I know one kid who goes to catholic school and would be a pretty good player for his public school team but will only be a number for their team. And if he wanted to switch back to public school they won't because the parent has too much pride to let it happen and the son will pay the price. fair no but reality. I know of two kids who would have played for their public HS but went to Chaminade and were cut. They both stayed and both kids have told me if they knew before going to Chaminada tthey still would have would have gone, they loved the school. As a parent I wanted my son to go to Chaminade but he said no, he wanted to stay with his friends in public school (and he plays for Express) so every case is different and unique. Why would you love a school with no girls in attendance? A lot of great schools with the opposite sex attending also. You ever walk around Chaminade, all males and a real creepy ambience.

Syos Pequa WM HHH GC Manhassett Smithtown Kellenberg The fact that someone is asking this question shows the lack of quality among even the stronger HS programs. If these programs are bringing up "a crop" of 9th graders HS lacrosse is really watered down. There are very few if any 2019's who would start on the top 2018 club teams. Forget about starting on the 2017 or 2016 teams. I disagree now that I think about it. A 2019 can play on a 2016 2017 travel team especially if he was the only one. You are not talking about a team of 2019's verses a team of 2016 2017 but a well place player can play. Especially whe surrounded by experienced players. Nope. Not if a true 14 year old freshman. No way. Not on the elite club. The speed and size in those two or three years is big.

Just noting that Colby and Bates are phenomenal schools. Perhaps those players did the smart thing and opted for excellent academic institutions rather than opting for Div 1 schools that aren't as well thought of. Of course, everyone can agree that it isn't about trying to win a national championship -- it is about getting a great education and using lacrosse for that purpose.

Re: High School Lax Boys B_O_T_C #151170 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A True, the preseason is just that, a pediction. And the prediction is that based on prior performance of the team and individual players, Chaminade ranks below some publics. The WM game will be an interesting indicator, as they were not ranked in the top 20. It does matter, of course not to those who were snubbed!

Re: High School Lax Boys Anonymous #151190 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A WM not in the top 20 was not a snub i/m/o-my kid is on that team. The last few years they graduated several all Americans. Those kids were incredible, but now is the time for others to shine-or not...we will see if the team can play as a team and not just a team supporting a couple of all Americans. Like previous poster said, Suffolk will be a really interesting year because all of the top teams are playing each other. So, northport, sme, smw, sachem N, connetquot and even Commack all have legitimate shot to beat each other up during the regular season (if I didn't mention your school, no disrespect, the teams i listed are the one's I am aware of, others may be just as strong). I suspect that there will be no undefeated teams in Suffolk this year-which is great for parents watching the games, but probably not great for these rankings...so unlike other poster's opinion, I would not expect three teams in suffolk to be ranked in the top ten (perhaps top 20). either way, I for one am looking forward to this season as compared to last season. Last season had only a few good games all year until playoffs. This year, all the big lax schools play competitive schedules with very few blow out games... good luck to all your boys and their schools.

What makes this year different from the past 10 or 15 years? This is a two or three team league as usual. If things have changed is it because some programs have gotten stronger or is it that some programs are no longer dominant?

Re: High School Lax Boys Anonymous #151548 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A Wow has the lacrosse world changed over the past few years. There are approximately 100 2019 verbal commitments. I would guess 95% have not played a Varsity game. It looks like every single one of the kids play Club. There are approximately 30 Clubs represented. Sweetlax, Laxachussets, Big 4 HHH, and Edge are leading the pack. Express, Madlax, Crabs, 91 and some others are not far behind, all have multiple commits. About 20 DI Schools have at least one 2019 commit. The usual suspects have as many as 13. I would guess that 15 - 18 of the current Top 20 have at least one freshman committed and just about all of the Top 30 - 40 schools were actively recruiting the class of 2019 this past summer and fall. You gotta be in it to win it. Crazy.

Not sure what you mean by saying "Last three years has not been any rivalry between these two teams...". Personally I do not like looking to the past. I prefer to look at the upcoming season. Maybe look at a year or two as some of the current players were on the teams over the past two years. But, if you want to look at ancient history a more relevant time frame would be five years. Over the past five years WM and WI have played each other seven times. West Islip has won five of the past seven games. The series is tied at one and one over the past two years. The only game that matters is the next one.
