This poll is absolutely ridiculous. Who does it St Anthony's and Garden City. Bryn Mawr showed that St Anthony's did not belong on the same field as them. Bryn Mawr handled GC pretty well also. McDongogh blows out GC. Maryvale is not even in the Top 10 and they lost by a goal to BM. Were in a close game with McDonogh until the second half. Yet St Anthony's and GC are in the Top 5. The only team in the Top 15 that St Anthony's beat is Sacred Heart (by 14), does Sacred Heart really belong in the Top 15 never mind top 30. Unlike MD, the private school league in Long Island is a joke. GC has not beaten anyone in the Top 15, they lose two games and they are still in the Top 5. I am not saying that GC is not a talented team and the same with St Anthony's but the above does not make sense. They both had the opportunity in MD to show what they are capable of. They did not demonstrate that they were a Top 5 team.
Being a parent of a girl on a varsity lax team in the catholic league on L.I. i have to say this to this post, No it's not the strongest league , but thats not why our kids go to these schools. We send our kids there for the education, and it is the best you can get. With St. Anthony as the exception, these schools don't push sports as strong as your maryland schools but while your worried about 4-8 years of lax, and how many students you send to D1 schools , we're pushing out Ivy league students for educations that last a lifetime. So you can keep Maryland (grade 13-16), and have a great lax player. There going to work for my daughter when there done playing
