Honestly, you have no idea what you're talking about. Standout lacrosse players at Chaminade represent a tiny fraction of those 1700 boys. Overall, the talent pool is strong (nobody argues that) but does not "dwarf" large publics in lacrosse-centric towns like WM, WI, Smithtown (both) where tons of kids have lacrosse sticks in their hands from the time they are in diapers. Many of these kids grow up together, play together and go to public HS together. You cannot quantify the benefit of this. Ultimately, lacrosse at this level comes down to great coaching and 4-5 standout kids who can make or break a team’s success. For example, how can Boys Latin in Baltimore - with 300 boys in the entire high school - perennially be one of the top teams in the country? By your logic, this could never happen. Can you explain this?
