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

It was a question, why getting hostile? The question is about the alumni base at the public's as compared to Chaminade, never said it was non existent asked about it.

U took that as hostility little sensitive ?

Chaminade played in a football championship game in 2013. Cham won a football championship in 2012. When was the last time Jericho appeared in a football championship game? When was the last time Jericho won championships in basketball, hockey, wrestling or baseball? C'mon, don't compare Jericho athletics to Chaminade athletics just because Chaminade's football team has fallen on tough times. Stop. Great academic school -- leave it at that.

You mean the fake catholic school championships ??

The point wasn't comparing the two football programs. Obviously you went to. Either school.

The football championship is legit. the football team plays a very difficult schedule and earns the championship if and when it wins.
you seem to be confusing this with the lax "championship" . I agree with the skeptical view. beating st.ants in playoff game , then declaring team state champs is a bit overboard ...but that's not the kids...its the mommy and daddy.

And the school!!!

Again, nobody with a clue from either Chaminade or St. Anthony's ever claims to be state champions in lacrosse. The CHSAA title is bragging rights enough.

And the whole "two team league" was put in place because other CHSAA schools wanted to brag about being champions of something, so they removed C and SA from the mix.

And Catholic league football is by far the strongest football played in New [lacrosse].

everyone will have to take your word for that. I guess you have researched strength of schedule, records, etc. for football in NY state. the "by far" evaluation is really convincing. that certainly settles it.
thanks

Yes they do absolutely Clueless or full of it... alumni and parents both actually claim that they are state champs ,or back to back state champs. be honest.

Guess you don't know too much about high school football then.

Well then they are clueless and likely didn't play lacrosse growing up.

No coaches/players/alums should ever refer to either Chaminade or St. A's as state champs of anything unless they're someday allowed into the real tournament.

Chaminade is 99 in NY and 4379 nationally. Maxprep has on line. Not real impressive.

99 may not be "real impressive" but where do these other teams fall on the Max preps list. The Jericho Team etc

I never claimed Chaminade had a good football team.

I was talking about CHSAA football (including the city schools), not Chaminade football. Though Chaminade did have a good run a few years ago.

Head to the Stepinac St. Anthony's game Friday night and if you still think Catholic Football isn't head and shoulders above then I will gladly check you into a mental hospital after the game.

You don't have to take my word on it. And they take that all in to account. It's a web site. Get on the internet and check it out for yourself.

Have fun at the game!! Look at the facts and numbers.

head upstate to syracuse watch a football game there head and shoulders above catholic league

capital district as well start with shenendehowah

guys Long Island is Lacrosse country not football country.

i agree 100 percent

Guys we should not be talking Football on the Chaminade site. the best LI football will be Floyd vs Longwood this weekend (sorry lindy the run will be over once you get to them). WI and Bellport you are in a different league for a reason. Pequa not a bad team just not the same, but that is why they play the games.

As far as LI football and St A's just look they lost to Delbarton who got smoked by a real Football School Bosco. who lost to other reall football schools. Sorry capital region your not that good either. Shen you have always been great at football with 3000 kids why wouldnt you be ever heard of Sachem in the 80's. Imagine if Sachem, the Hills, or the Smithtowns were one high school. please

lindy will beat long wood and upstate football is better than anything long island produces. and farmingdale beats whomever in suffolk conference

G.C. would wreck Chaminade in football and win most years in lacrosse. that's without drawing from all over the tri state area for students and athletes.

i knew that Daler nation would want their say sorry i left you off by accident. Lindy try getting by WM first

While I think GC has exceptional talent in athletics, I don't think they would wreck Chaminade in either football or lacrosse. A good game in both but I think Chaminade would beat them in football and GC would edge them in lax.

Chaminade will destroy GC in lacrosse this year

Catholic HS Football is simply one of the most competitive leagues in the state.

competitive .... that's fine, its a good league. maybe one of the best. the mom or dad who declares the league as head and shoulders best league in the state etc. is just an embarrassment to the Chaminade community. its not needed .

Sure. Like they destroyed Manhasset and ward mellville last year ?

I'm not a parent, but I do stand by my comment that Catholic league football is (in general) far stronger than any other football played on Long Island. That doesn't mean that Chaminade has a very good football team, nor does it mean that every single Catholic team would beat up on every single LI public school every year.

But St. Anthony's very often does have a very good team, as do a few other city / metro schools.

(None of these teams would compete with the big New Jersey Catholics, though. Even during a great year for St. Anthony's they'd still likely lose to Don Bosco, Bergen Catholic, etc.)

FLID Country

As much as it pains me Li is Lax country not football country... but athletes are athletes.

Football - No NY or NJ teams in the top 100 in the nations
Lacrosse - close to 50% of the list

Looks like Chaminade will be playing McDonogh (MIAA) this coming year. Pretty awesome.

bam lindy 37-0 over longwood

I guess holdbacks don't help win football games Chammy

Lol, I know what you do for a living.

plenty of holdbacks

Freshman QB is 16. And 1 freshman hoop player repeated 8th grade at LWA

And got a lax ride to MD
