You are missing the point. The original poster was saying that comparing Chaminade to Massapequa is like comparing a travel team with a town team (Although, a very good town team)It is very hard in this day and age for a public school to keep up with these private, high cost, big alumni $$ schools. No one should take anything away from Chaminade, they are a machine. A very well funded, coached, privileged machine.
Need I point to the consistently great public (Elite) programs (well coached and deeply talented) on Long Island such as WI, WM, Farm, Manhasett, GC, and other consistently very good public teams like Smithtown W, Northport, SWR, Syosset, Wantagh.
Almost always, one of theses town teams finishes the year ranked ahead of both Chaminade and St. Anthony's in the national rankings.
Sooo stop; there are talented kids all over LI.
Some don't consider the catholic 2 because of religious reasons, some just want to play in the home HS, others just did not take the entrance test, and still others might not have done well on the tests.
