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

Chaminade must be the only team resented more than Manhasset. Feel sorry to the Flyers from Manhasset. (I'm sure they're crying all the way to the Men's Grill at Plandome CC)

Keep in mind that no one bashes the untalented..

Often time envy will manifest itself as resentment. I am not so sure it isn't envy all the Chaminade bathers are feeling.

Now there's something we've never seen. A Chaminade supporter saying they wouldn't be surprised if they were beaten by a small public school. Wow. Times are a changin'.

No worse than the 2-team joke they call the Catholic "league". Enjoy the beatdown that another small public school is about to deliver to Chaminade tomorrow. Despite the "poaching" that Chaminade does to the Manhasset program, this won't be pretty. [/quote

Well, actually it is far worse simply because the "2 teams" schedule out of conference games against Delbarton, Darien, Fairfield Prep, St Ignatius, New Canaan, etc., etc., etc.

And... you lose more of those games than you win. Then you collectively puff out your chest about winning against the number 5 or 6 team in a public league. Too Funny. If you are a "national power" you need to play and beat other "National Powers"... on a consistent basis. If you can't, then your just a very good regional team. So which is it?

Is Delbarton a "national power?" They are 2 and 4 vs Cham the last six years. I believe during that time period they have won multiple state championships and placed many, many players in top level college programs. You tell me. National power or very good regional school?

A kid from my town played at SA as a freshman. Started for the SA freshman team. He was the 7th leading scorer on SA's freshman team. He did not score one single point -- not a goal, not an assist -- against Chaminade (multiple games) or Delbarton. He then left SA and went back to our local high school for 10th grade. He made varsity as a soph and started. Not only did he lead the team in scoring, he was one of the top scorers in Suffolk County. Same was true as a junior and as a senior. He earned an athletic scholarship and now plays Div 1 lax (although he is seeing very little playing time right now as a frosh). Those are facts. Draw your own conclusions…...

Chaminade a "national power"? That's the funniest thing I'll hear today. Dream on.

Lets see if they can even beat a small local public school district that they mine for talent every year before we crown Chaminade a "national power". We'll know by about 8pm tonight.

How is "national power" defined?


Do previous years count? If yes, how many years are you allowed to go back in time?

Does number of college recruits factor in?

Does number of Under Armour All Americans matter?

Does performance of alums in college matter?

Who cares

Apparently the guy who claims that Cham parents proclaim Chaminade to be a national power. I guess he cares because he goes home at night, pops open a natty lite and stews about his inferiority complex.

National caliber? LMFAO. Just another pebble in the road.

Really? Where you from? Malverne/East Rockaway? Longwood? Copaigue?

Conclusion: Except for a relatively small number of public school teams per year, the competition on LI is not good. In order to play a truly competitive schedule , teams need to travel off Long Island.

Im gonna have to disagree with you about the relatively small number. I would venture to say there at least 25-30 solid lacrosse programs across Long Island. Other than Maryland we have the largest concentration of quality lacrosse in the country. The challenge for each coach is to make sure he is challenging his team each year with a quality schedule in and out of conference.

why does MSG keep getting the roster class wrong? Goalie is a senior not junior. He's been announcing ever Chaminade game messing it up.

Chaminade was roadkill today for a small public school. My how things have changed.

score?

10-5 manhasset

But it wasn't that close - Manhasset took their foot off the pedal in the 4th. It was 7-1 half and 10-4 at end of 3. Lemonade anyone?

Chaminade lemonade will be 8-9 this year with remaining losses to Yorktown, Massapequa, St. Anthony's, Greenwich and Delbarton. The pressure to bring up the Sophs will be brutal.

Other than the two biggest ones (Chaminade and St. Anthony's) whose the 3rd best team in the Catholic league right now? I have not been following lacrosse to well this past year and need to get caught up, but i would like to hear different people opinions!

I think winning makes you a national power. Win your league/conference/county/state, you are a good team.

Says a Sophs Dad........give it a rest already

Chaminade should be embarrassed. I have watched the tapes of several games recently - I watched a Flyer stick out his foot to deliberately trip a St Anthony's player after the play - the officials didnt notice. Watching the Manhasset game live and on the replay the number of check, pushes and punches in the back after a shot or pass were complete were astounding. People in the stands were suprised that the officials were calling such a loose game - several people expressed concern that someone would get hurt and then - it happened..

The hit to the head on the Manhasset attackman when he was vulnerable in the process of shooting only looks even worse on the replay than live. No excuse for that.

In football that would be called targeting - the player would be thrown out and suspended for the next game as well.

We need that in lacrosse -
shame on the officials for not throwing the player out of the game and shame on the Chaminade coaches for tolerating the persistent dirty play.

Easy with the drama Mommy. I watched the same game you did. Chaminade got their [lacrosse] kicked by a better team yesterday. That is not up for debate. But to imply that they are a dirty team and the coaches tolerate it is totally ridiculous. You have zero clue what these coaches are about. The Cham kid laid a hard but clean hit on that attackman. He was not headhunting. The Cham kid got a two minute non-releasable, which was more than enough. Contact is part of the game. Sometimes it gets a bit aggressive. Deal with it or find another sport. FFS.

Mike Quick commented about the Chaminade kids playing for their HS team NOW instead of caring about what team they'll be playing for next year or in 2 years.

Called them right out.

There are kids at the end of the bench with real desire to play for their team and school now and wear those colors with pride. They could probably have a similar record this year too.

p.s. don't have a kid on team

Bringing up sophs is not the answer. This is not a 1-2 player fix. It has been many many years since Cham has lost 4 in a row. With Cham schedule you are only putting those sophs in harms way.

Unless the moved from Maryland and are 18 already

I agree with your post. definitely sounds like so many daddys and mommies sitting in stands without a clue about how the game is played or rules enforced. they continuously call out things that they find "unfair" and act as if they know what the rule is for pushing, slashing etc. meanwhile they only cheer for their child, coach , (shout) to direct others to pass the ball when their kid doesn't have it. Ignoring the fact he won't move from statue like spot then yell shoot it when the kid gets it, or hit him when they drop ball and turn it over.

These days, a big hit = penalty. Yesterday during the ND-Duke game Percovic laid out a Duke middie. Hit him with his shoulder -- completely clean hit. Penalty. It is what it is. That is 2016 lacrosse.

PS -- Maybe some of the extracurricular activities would stop taking place if the Manhasset kids would stop doing the Cam Newton/Superman act after they score? Been watching that for years now.

Wasn't a penalty. Called interference. Change of possession.

Don't blame the celebration for bad behavior. If you find it that offensive, stop them from scoring!!

If you were paying attention Coach C was not happy with all the crap on the sidelines after a score. He is not big on excessive celebrations after a goal either. If you know him and I do you could hear him say act like you been there before.

The day was about something so much bigger and both staffs have great respect for each other.

Seriously? Is that actually an important issue for you? Important enough to mention here? How self-centered and vapid.

Nobody,


and I mean NOBODY,


cares about that.



Except you.

hahaha...that's outstanding! she should go bang on the pressbox door next time, or cancel her cable!!

Watched game on msg, maybe some of you parents should stop talking about Chaminade building character in the boys and have them start showing some. You've beaten this team 4 years and a row and you lose one and there's cheap shots all over the field. The film doesn't lie.

Yes, it's very unfortunate our children have been emulating these childish, millionaire professional athletes for decades now.

First off, you need to get a life. What psycho parent is watching multiple game films of a school that their kid doesn't go to. I feel bad for your wife and kids if you are so into this that you have the time and the inclination to do that. You must be a pretty lonely guy standing by yourself at the games. Good luck with the eventual heart attack pal when your kid isn't playing anymore and you have to figure out what to do with your time.

Secondly, the Superman act is so 2014. Also, from what I've heard the Manhasset kids are always the chirpiest and constantly poking the beehive. You do that enough you are going to see retaliation. Tell your kids to shut ear mouths and just play ball. They seem to lie to dish it out but they also have a very short fuse when their opponent punches back. Thin skinned.

Easy with the drama Mommy. I watched the same game you did. Chaminade got their [lacrosse] kicked by a better team yesterday. That is not up for debate.

Hitting a defenseless player in the head from behind is not only illegal but dangerous. The same Chaminade player was targeting kids on St'A's. He should have been kicked out of the game and suspended. Zero tolerance for that type of behavior.
