The problem with lax is 100 kids show up and 90% can play.....Say what you want, but you have to have skill to get on that team. Older sons have gone through this before.


If Lax is so tough, why do they keep losing to town teams that have a total of 300-400 boys in the entire HS? These town teams have 40 kids show up to tryouts to field a team from. They should be beating these teams by 10 with the second line. How come they routinely duck MIAA teams, year in and year out? Not bashing the team, just pointing out that the stories just don't match the results on the field.


Hasn't this been beaten to death? When Cham beats Pequa, WI or Manhasset every says "well, of course -- they should". When they lose to a team like Pequa -- a great program with tons of excellent players, Chaminade sucks. Enough already, if you can't admit that it is one of the top programs in America then you are really just delusional. Are there off years? Yes. Should they win more with the talent they have? Yes. But don't say "they keep losing to town teams" like they suck. Just ridiculous.


Should never lose if so far superior. Games shouldn't even be close. The fact that they are, and many are lost is ridiculous. Again, if top program in America, why no MIAA? Why no Culver? Why no Inter-AC? Invite them in for game, they'll play you. Those guys all play one another. Parents should demand to play other top programs.


No school in New [lacrosse] plays a schedule with as much geographic diversity as the two CHSAA schools do (not the fault of the public schools, but this point stands). And neither Chaminade nor St. Anthony's have travel budgets anything like the middle-Atlantic prep schools do, so you can't really expect them to take real trips out of the area more than once or twice per season.

"Parents should demand to play other top programs." LOL.

(Fun fact: Chaminade will be playing McDonogh this coming year.)
