That is a travel team beating a town team. Not impressed! Actually chaminade should be embarrassed that they didn't win by more being that the school draws talent from a much larger area!
Really? A town/travel argument? When a team is ranked in the top ten nationally that discussion is irrelevant.
It is relevant. When a public HS makes top ten nationally, that is huge! Kids coming from one town, working very hard and putting an extraordinary team together (on a public school budget) When you have a private school, drawing kids from all over, with resources and funds that no public school will ever receive. The coaching, the facilities, the $$$ that flows through that program is astonishing! They should be a "Machine"! Congratulations to Massapequa, SW and any other public school that can actually compete on a field with that. Chaminade is a great team, absolutely, but saying the town/travel is irrelevant is wrong.
Realty Check Time... Town/ travel----Is the first poster implying that Massapequa hasn't got any travel players on it's squad....If so, his argument is weak.
The rosters of the premium club/travel teams on LI are loaded with talented Pequa players. Many teams coached by Pequa guys too.
Also, Chaminade & Pequa have been playing each other (early in the season) for a dozen years now. The have a great rivalry, and always play a great game. (so, why whine after all these years? simply because the Chiefs are top 10 this year)
Chaminade always tries to play top talent non league teams ... just look at their schedule. Both schools have benefitted from playing each other.
Pequa is very talented and could be the top Nassau public team this year. One Year it's GC, or Farmingdale, or Manhassett... that is the best public team in Nassau. WELCOME, come take your seat at the table, Chiefs...it's your turn!
But you get there by playing other good teams like Chaminade. And I know the players on both teams like it, respect it, and look forward to it.
