Chaminade should be embarrassed. I have watched the tapes of several games recently - I watched a Flyer stick out his foot to deliberately trip a St Anthony's player after the play - the officials didnt notice. Watching the Manhasset game live and on the replay the number of check, pushes and punches in the back after a shot or pass were complete were astounding. People in the stands were suprised that the officials were calling such a loose game - several people expressed concern that someone would get hurt and then - it happened..
The hit to the head on the Manhasset attackman when he was vulnerable in the process of shooting only looks even worse on the replay than live. No excuse for that.
In football that would be called targeting - the player would be thrown out and suspended for the next game as well.
We need that in lacrosse - shame on the officials for not throwing the player out of the game and shame on the Chaminade coaches for tolerating the persistent dirty play.
Typical over protective, helicopter Manhasset parent who never played the game. Can smell them a mile away.
Agree. Learn to let your kid go and fight their own battles. You don't need to defend them on here - they can defend themselves, or they should be able to anyway. If they can't by now, they are in big trouble. Too many parents think they need to coddle, protect and control their kids from cradle to grave (their own grave). You are doing your kids a huge disservice.
