US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) CHAMINADE Lacrosse. Stories and news.

Additionally, since this IS A LACROSSE FORUM, this year's Chaminade Varsity lacrosse team has 3 Ivy League commits and 3 Military Academy commits...so far....

Considering they take a lot of geeks based on the test, I would hope this is what happens. For 10K per year above your taxes, you need to get something back.

The above post should read 225 students in class of 2015 not 9225*

Yeah those 10 young men going to service academies to serve our country and protect your sorry [lacrosse] are just a bunch of "geeks". People like you don't get it and probably never will.

That's surprisingly low. I would have expected higher. Syosset has a graduating class of about 500 and consistently sends kids to all of those schools and then some, and their numbers would easily dwarf Chaminades. I would guess a lot of the other top public schools would also. Maybe your count is off because for what parents are paying tuition for, you would expect more kids being accepted to Ivy League schools.

No , you just drive with a red white and blue bull instead

How's the drug problem in publics as opposed to Chaminade ? Just curious

There are drugs in ALL E schools. If you don't want to believe that you have your head in a hole.

Right, but some schools have it worse -- indeed, far worse -- than others, right? If you don't want to believe that, you have your head in a hole.

For all the guys who crow about how good their school districts are, there are significantly more school districts that are not good. If you don't want to believe that, you have your head in a hole.

Yes. Let's talk about lacrosse. Chaminade has won three Catholic league championships in a row. Chaminade continually ranks in the top 20 in the U.S. Chaminade continually places multiple players in college lacrosse programs. This year's team has a sr goalie committed to Notre Dame, a middie committed to Yale and a sr pole committed to Penn. this year's college pre-season all-American list included four former Flyers (Cerrone, Kavanagh, Quinn & Zenker).

Yes. Let's talk about lacrosse.

The Catholic league is week when compared to NYS and mid Atlantic. Your only competition is St. A

Thank you Einstein. Most of their games are against some of the top programs in the tri state area.

Only, most of the top teams are not from the tri-state. Play Hill, Culver, Haveford. Then I'd be impressed!

If you're talking about Smithtown West, that's only half the town. Put the whole town together and no school on LI would come close! Girls and Boys academics and athletics are both excellent! And that's drawing from one town, not the whole Island.

Catholic league is weak and you know it. Top 20 is not top 5, sorry. When someone resorts to the Grammer defense you know they've got nothing. Yes chaminade has claim to some stand out players. But then again, so do pubics. For example, Miles Jones, #1 preseason player. And yes there are others just not going to start listing. League is weak, you have been and will be losing to publics again. No reason to be mad, hopefully your son is one of the better players and receives a scholarship to offset the cost of HS.

If you want to talk top 5 teams nationally, only seven Long Island schools have finished the year in the top 5 since 2005 (going by the CCR ranking). Chaminade is one of those teams (in case you're curious, the other schools are WI, WM, Massapequa, GC, Manhasset, and Huntington).

Can't be true Syosset is not listed and according to previous posters they are the best.

If Chaminade is so great, why are they not there every year, oh because they're not!

None of those schools are there every year. Are you being serious?

Who said Cham was on a pedestal, above the rest? I think the author of the post that tried to bring this thread back to lacrosse merely was noting that Chaminade has a very strong program. there are some public schools on LI that are good as well. In fact, I am confident this post will cause the red cup gang to discuss last year's Syo scrimmage.

Well, if that's how you feel...all good. Chaminade has a good program, so do several publics on LI. Both have long lists of high quality commits. Sone pay a lot of money for these accolades, some don't. Good luck to all in the upcoming season.

The elitist Chaminade postings and the ranting inferiority complex of the Chaminade haters are both the minorities--its a couple of guys posting incessantly on here in regards to each side. We get your views/opinions...let it go now.
