There are 5 or 6 LI public schools that would beat Cham, and another 5 or 6 that would play them to a close game. Highly overrated.


Perhaps they shouldn't cut kids and arrive at away games on 3 buses. 85 kids on the sideline. Then maybe they could be the best team on LI. LOL. I have an idea. Let's put Massapequa on one bus and Farmingdale on another. We will call them Farmapequa. Let's see how Chaminade and St Anthonys do. Oh and let's put the Smithtown schools back together too. So tired of hearing about these private schools where parents brag that their kids go to Chaminade and are third string. Choosing the best 10 out of 100 is not hard. Let's see them put the best 10 out of 30 on the field. Then they might have to coach alittle.


How many other schools on the island mix schools?

Imagine if Smithtown Sachem s all blended into one. I can hear the crying that little johnny didn't play because

You must have not been there the day that the Syosset Varsity played the Chaminade Varsity at Cantiague Park in March or else you wouldn't have made this comment . It was an embarrassment , looked like Syosset was playing a Chaminade freshman team ,
They couldn't even compete. We know , we know , it's was a scrimmage , Chaminade was missing best players etc etc. So was Syosset. Early season injuries hadn't returned yet so the excuses don't work.
Don't want to hit below the belt but don't continue to brag and make false statements or else people will come back at your team with the truth

Chaminade has a consistently strong program because they stick with their system year in and year out. Freshman team, JV Team, Juniors and Seniors on Varsity. That said, I have seen many of their players over the years come up through the ranks of the town and club teams and their is nothing special or extraordinary about their talent pool. I just think they have an excellent coach and system and it gets the most out of what I would classify are good players. Same for St. Anthony's.

There are plenty of strong schools in the public system. However the consistency is not as great as the year in and year out talent ebbs and flows.

I would like to see Chaminade or St. Anthony's play the winner of Section 8 and Section 11 in some kind of annual All Island Championship.

They would never do it! To risky for their reputation which revolves around a lot of smoke and mirrors.

You are putting down public schools and obviously think Chaminade is great but you don't know the differecne between "your" and "you're" and is "Public" a proper noun that should be capitalized? People who live in glass houses....

Would pay for a real game against Syosset. That "SCRIMMAGE" played when Chaminade was still making cuts and kids were being evaluated. Also did not have starting defensemen or 1st line middie playing. Also Chaminade did not practice for 3 months prior with their Coaches which by the way is against the rules but who's watching.

Bring it on

Really. I can honestly say that is the most pathetic comeback that is used on this board. The use of you're and your in a grammatically incorrect way is not the issue you have. I can see your inability to come up with a more viable argument shows your feeble mindedness. Your lack of education is evident.

Except that the "P" in Public was capitalized...perhaps it is difficult to see that when you're being the grammar/spelling police.

Syosset would love another win against Chaminade this year . If you're as obsessed as you sound in tracking what Syosset does then you would know that during that scrimmage we were playing without our top attack goal scorer due to a preseason injury as well as our top middie and many starting defenseman that are still out of commission but we play with what we have and don't make excuses because what you have that day is your team . No excuses . Each team you go against is in the same boat with missing players due to injuries etc so you can't keep falling back on that excuse when you lose . Syo beat garden city this year too , schools have off seasons . Chaminade seems to be this year also , no excuses, no shame . We all go through it . Next year it will be someone else's turn . You never know
Either way would love another chance to bring it on at this point of the season , I believe chaminades head would spin

All grammar aside I think its pathetic that either Chaminade or St Anthonys isn't the #1 ranked team on LI. How many public school teams have 100 quality kids going out for the team? And another 100 on JV? And if the number of kids didn't matter there wouldn't be A, B and C Divisions in public school lacrosse. Chaminade and St Anthonys coaches benefit from picking from a huge pot. Overrated.

The misguided idea that Cham or Anthony's should never lose to a public school is not only ignorant but shows utter disrespect to public schools who put together amazing classes. The fact of the matter is that there are simply years that schools like Ward Melville, Darien, Garden City, etc. field amazing teams. Two years ago, Chaminade fielded one of the most talented high school teams I ever saw (Zenker, Fowler, Dunne, Lukacovic, Muller, Cerrone, Bonafede, Carrigan, Clarke, etc,) and still lost to a public school: Yorktown. It happens. Some days teams are just flat. That is why you play the game on the field, not on paper or based on Div 1 commits.

Don't forget one key fact. All of these kids live in Massapequa. How about only Mineola kids fill out the Chaminade roster? LOL That would be fun to watch :-P

You act like Chamunade has their pick of every good player on LI a d that is wrong. Not every kid can get in academically (and others is getting harder every year). You ha e to be a baptized Catholic and you have to be willing to part with $9,0000 a year for tuition. Add to that the fact that many good players come from families that just believe in public school, don't wa t their sons in an all boys school or maybe feel the commute is too far. To me it is amazing that Chaminade does as well as it does year after year and certainly the picture is more complex than you state.

Where are you getting these numbers ? From freshmen year on the number dwindles dramatically. 56 kids tried out for Varsity 44 on team including 4 goalies. Garden City, Manhasset, had just as many. In addition after freshmen year many return to their public school for many reasons. Work load one but lack of playing time when they could be a super star on their public school team is big reason. Before you read the next line I am in no way comparing the 2. Just like parents think their kids are D1 material they think they are going to make and star on Chaminades team and it does not happen. You have freshmen coaches looking at many kids they know nothing about (maybe a few they are aware of) and picking a team on 8 practices. Some slip by and never get a chance it happens. Not every great player on LI (who wants to go to Chaminade) gets in. That is why NCC is so good year after year and the so called lower teir D1 schools are so competitive. LOVE THE FACT THAT SO MANY SCHOOLS ON LI ARE AS GOOD AS THEY ARE WETHER PUBLIC OR PRIVATE. JUST SIT BACK ENJOY THE GAME.

Based on your logic, the Ivies would never be competitive. Yet Yale, Princeton, Brown and Cornell are highly competitive. Chaminade has 500 plus boys per grade. From a lacrosse perspective, based on your statements, those kids decided to go to Chaminade for lacrosse first. With that much talent, and so many boys to choose from, it would seem almost impossible that they would lose to a public school that has 100+ boys per grade. How many boys in these public schools are actually even still playing lacrosse in 9-12 grade, 10-15 per grade max? You talk about GC and Set having the same number of kids, difference is 10 of those kids are 9th an 10th graders. Think about it.

You do not have to be baptized catholic to go to Chaminade. I went, am baptized Eastern Orthodox... end of story. Just want that absolute fact to be out there. Do they prefer RC, sure but I can't tell you how many people say to me in conversation that I couldn't have attended because "you have to be Catholic".

First off there are not 500 boys per grade . Again where are you getting your numbers from. Many don't even play sports. The Ives are selective and find the good ones with brains. Are they always competitive no. Brown came around this year but Penn dropped off. Tough to get many kids accepted. Look at who is in playoffs this week and lets see how they do.

Amazed that Chaminade does as well as it does? What are you smoking? Name another school that has that many kids trying out for both varsity and JV (besides St Anthonys). Its not about total school enrollment. That only matters when you can only take kids from the same town. There are kids taking an hour train ride from Suffolk County, not only to be students, but play lacrosse. Wake up. They can pull from every town and promise playing time to those that part with even more $$ to the Express. You think politics don't play a role in who plays and makes the team, as the coaches line their pockets? Only in America.

Talking points LOL

1) They don't have the most kids trying out for varsity and JV?
2) Kids don't take trains from Suffolk?
3) No tie in with the Express?
4) No politics ever played in making the teams?
5) Coaches haven't lined their pockets?

Nope, not convinced. Especially by you!

Talking points LOL

1) They don't have the most kids trying out for varsity and JV? And you are basing this on what data source?

2) Kids don't take trains from Suffolk? Of course they do. That was not the point. Instead the point was Chaminade doesn't pull from EVERY town as you suggest. Some kids will commute from Suffolk but others will not. Many kids are great players who either can't get in or get in and can't stay in. That right there is a major filter you are unwilling to acknowledge. And I am not even getting to the tuition as a barrier or the faith based education not being for everyone. The point is their pool is not every lacrosse player on LI as you seem to suggest.

3) No tie in with the Express? Their Varsity coach is a partner in Express. So what? Look at the lineup. They gave #19 (most honored number in memory of a fallen alumnus) to a kid who runs their offense and plays fl$....not Express. They're stud starting defender? Also fl$. And they have had plenty from 91, Outlaws and others in their starting line-ups over the past few years from the Freshman team right up through Varsity. Fact. So stop the garbage insinuations that only Express players get on the field or the whole enterprise is corrupt and designed solely to "line the pcokets" of the directors. Frankly, that is libelous and if you want to make that statement try signing your name to it.

4) No politics ever played in making the teams? More hearsay nonsense. Can I rule out some form of politics at Chaminade? No I cannot. But I have put kids through both Chaminade and the public school and the politics in the public are far and away worse. You are delusional if you think parents aren't politicing, running fundraisers, working the phones, etc. to help their kids get on public varsity teams

5) Coaches haven't lined their pockets? Again, sign your name before you make such a derogatory claim against people running a top program like Chaminade for decades. There are stories upon stories of the good the coaches there have done. To say it is all about "lining their pockets" just exposes you for the small-minded, person with an axe to grind that you are.

Nope, not convinced. Especially by you!

Forgive me if I don't find your arguments terribly persuasive.

2) Kids don't take trains from Suffolk? Of course they do. That was not the point. Instead the point was Chaminade doesn't pull from EVERY town as you suggest. Some kids will commute from Suffolk but others will not. Many kids are great players who either can't get in or get in and can't stay in. That right there is a major filter you are unwilling to acknowledge. And I am not even getting to the tuition as a barrier or the faith based education not being for everyone. The point is their pool is not every lacrosse player on LI as you seem to suggest. So your argument is they don't pull from "every" town?? Did I suggest every town? I suggested they get kids from many towns while public schools pull only from that town. Stop with the semantics.

3) No tie in with the Express? Their Varsity coach is a partner in Express. So what? Look at the lineup. They gave #19 (most honored number in memory of a fallen alumnus) to a kid who runs their offense and plays fl$....not Express. They're stud starting defender? Also fl$. And they have had plenty from 91, Outlaws and others in their starting line-ups over the past few years from the Freshman team right up through Varsity. Fact. So stop the garbage insinuations that only Express players get on the field or the whole enterprise is corrupt and designed solely to "line the pcokets" of the directors. Frankly, that is libelous and if you want to make that statement try signing your name to it. Stop with the dramatics, its true. I know of quality kids from "unfavorable travel teams" that were cut. You want to name some starters on the field? I am talking about who makes the team and who was cut. I've spoken with their parents. Its a disgrace.

4) No politics ever played in making the teams? More hearsay nonsense. Can I rule out some form of politics at Chaminade? No I cannot. But I have put kids through both Chaminade and the public school and the politics in the public are far and away worse. You are delusional if you think parents aren't politicing, running fundraisers, working the phones, etc. to help their kids get on public varsity teams Glad you agree

5) Coaches haven't lined their pockets? Again, sign your name before you make such a derogatory claim against people running a top program like Chaminade for decades. There are stories upon stories of the good the coaches there have done. To say it is all about "lining their pockets" just exposes you for the small-minded, person with an axe to grind that you are. Why is it derogatory to say they have lined their pockets? They aren't politicians. No law against it. You have any idea of the revenues the Express generate. You are the one that thinks to say it is a bad thing. I'm just stating the obvious. MC at St Anthonys laughs all the way to the bank.

Nope, not convinced. Especially by you! And your persuasiveness is pretty suspect as well. I state facts. You state how you'd like things to be.

Forgive me if I don't find your arguments terribly persuasive.

My son plays Express and does NOT go to Charminarde. I can’t speak to what does or doesn’t go on there! I can tell you that Jack is his coach and I wouldn’t want him to be coached by anybody else. He coaches him like he is his own son and teaches him how to be a man. He has done a lot for us with regards to recruiting and we DON’T go to his school. There should be more coaches like this in all sports today. It is interesting that people will write about others anonymously. They say I heard this and that? Please remember that you should believe nothing of what you here and only half of what you see. It’s all about your experiences.

....and the irony is that in your rabid desire to impugn the program you have constructed a great page of crimson and gold Chaminade colors which just either evidences how little you know about the school.

GO FLYERS!

Nothing against Jack. The original argument was that Chaminade and St Anthonys should be 1 or 2 on LI with the pool of kids they choose from. The Express connection only strengthens my contention. Are there politics everywhere? Absolutely. And would the Chaminade and St Anthonys coaches want more competition from within the catholic league? Absolutely not. This way they can travel all over the area, play teams like Darien, Greenwich, Delbarton, Yorktown, Massapequa, Ward Melville, and no matter the result, have a 50% chance of winning the Catholic AAA championship every year.

Great game yesterday against St. Anthony's. Score was much more reflective of this game than the first. Saw at least 20 coaches in the stands.

Now you're a mind reader and you know that the Chaminade and St. Anthony's coaches don't want any other Catholic High School teams to play at their level. Please let me know what else these coaches have told you, of course, you know because you are a mind reader!

Why don't you enjoy the playoffs and write a book in your spare time.
