Looks like the Catholics are really challenging themselves by playing small public schools... Wow. If they want to call themselves the best, why do they duck the MIAA or Inter-AC schools?
Ha, you just can't win in this thread.
1) Neither school's schedule is finalized.
2) St. Anthony's played (and lost to) two teams from Philadelphia last year.
Reality Check.....In the past 5 years St. Ants has played top ranked teams from Upstate NY, CT, NJ, PA, MD
Likewise, Chaminade has played top ranked opponents from Upstate NY, CT, NJ, CA
Among the names that should ring a bell: Delbarton, Darien, Yorktown, St. Ignatius, Greenwich, Fairfield Prep, Bergen Catholic, Wilton, Haverford, La Costa Canyon, Don Bosco, Immaculata, Loyola Blakefield, New Cannan, Episcopal, Niskayuna,
Locally, their schedules consistently include West Islip, Massapequa, Ward Melville, Manhasset, etc.
This year the friars have Syossett. I expect that Chaminade will again find a way to add a game with West Islip which has been a great game for both teams over the years.
Is that not enough of a non league list for you haters?
Certainly does not look like the Catholics are ducking anyone!
How has the recent Nassau/ Suffolk HS combined record looked against teams from PA, NJ, CT, MD? I think GC plays St. Pauls(MD) & Duxbury (MA) regularly. How about the big tough Syosset, Northport, and both Smithtown teams? How are their records against powerhouse out of state programs?
Nailed It!.........Chaminade's Schedule now opens with West Islip and also added Ward Melville.
No doubt, consistently playing the toughest schedule in the nation. St. Ants & Chaminade have been playing this caliber of talent for decades.
Take a look ... Chaminade has ranked in the top 50 national poll in each of the past 10 years and St. Ants for nine out of the past 10 The teams they play also are consistently nationally ranked as well.
How does Chaminade's rate for a non-league schedule? WEST ISLIP 6X top 50 SAINT IGNATIUS PREP 8X top 50 WARD MELVILLE 8X top 50 at Manhasset 5X top 50 YORKTOWN 6X top 50 at Massapequa 4X top 50 at Fairfield Prep 5X top 50 at Greenwich HS 3X top 50 DELBARTON 9X top 50 Now, add in 3 games against St Anthony's 9X top 50
Talk to me, who are they ducking?
For all the Syossett fans: you've only ranked nationally 3 times... sorry your just not there yet.
Just the facts, Ma'm!
Are you really bragging about playing WI?? WM beat Cham last year and has a good chance to repeat that. Syosset would beat Chaminade easily this year, the only one that counts. Hope to see that game
This guy did not even absorb the facts... Chaminade only plays hard core battle tested winners.
Syo needs to be more consistent.
To disparage West Islip is foolish. The program has a great history, great coaching, and will put a tough team back on the field. A few down years does not take away from the program. The talent will be back.
