Oh Yes for sure... You can keep the helmet only with the agreement that it is placed in a prominent place inside the home and that public schools serfs must bow to it when they see it. In some cases alumni have their girlfriends/wives also bow when preparing meals for the King of the house.

But defense sticking with your story? Sophomore should play over the Duke, Harvard, Navy, Dartmouth or Lehigh commit?

YES! And sometimes the meals are served INSIDE the helmet.

Not sure I see the bad part of that statement.

There is some truth to your statement as far as the schools being selective. However, I disagree with the statement that the school does not make the average student better.

I have three in SA. Two I would say were strong students before. The third was an average student, good enough to get in but not an AP-type. However, the school's atmosphere has helped her become a top student. Not sure that would have happened in a public.

There are no top students at St A, it is a school for average kids.

Hmmmm....Could you please forward your sons intel research idea and the school he attends.........or are you just a public school serf.

would that qualify as a "helmet job"

For this long weekend:

Here is the often talked about"Flyer Varsity Dream Team". It includes players selected from all 4 classes.

*Disclaimer: this is just an opinion. All suggestions could be wrong. This is a re-enforcement of the amount of talent; not a criticism of the players or classes not represented; nor a criticism of the historical ideology of upper class-men play and sophomores and freshmen need to wait their time. No, I do not have a relative selected.

So, here it is (Enjoy).

48 Players selected (Most are practice Squad)
18 Seniors
16 Juniors
13 Sophomores
1 Freshman

25 Division 1 Committed Players
9 ACC Commits
2 Big 10
2 Big east
5 Ivy
1 Maac
3 NEC
3 Patriot
1 SoCon
4 Div 3 Committed Players
19 Uncommitted Juniors & Sophomores

12 Attack
18 Middies
2 Fogos
12 Defense
4 Goalies

Starting team (5 Seniors, 5 Juniors, 1 Sophomore)
Attack= 2 Seniors and 1 Junior
Midfield= 1 Senior and 2 Juniors
Fogo= 1 Sophomore
Defense= 2 Seniors and 1 Junior
Goalie = Junior

Important---- This sophisticated selection system consists of a monkey, Rocky Road Ice Cream, the internet, a quarter, a deck of cards, 2 clementines, and 4 red dice. Really, it just is based on watching some of the kids play, so don't get crazy about it.

Special moment for a Senior? Seriously? Should all get a participation trophy too? It is high school - these are not little babies but young adults that have worked really hard for a long time. Time to grow up and recognize that not everyone gets a free pass. Hard work, talent, and knowledge of the game should determine who plays. Very surprised to hear a Cham parent saying that - I agreeit is not about winning it is about all the intangibles that go into winning....

what the [lacrosse] is this?

Agreed, sorry upper classmen if an underclassmen is better he should get the nod. In the end it is about winning... If the team wins 5 games this year the coaches, parents, alumni, school officials are not going to say don't worry it was still a good season, our Juniors and Seniors played.

I feel sorry for the senior who was a back up last year and expected big things, but up comes a big time ACC commit to sit you down again...

Name the schools, not just the conferences

Duke

Is this Boomer OR Carton

ahhhh cowboy boots and duster guy will be livid ...again...

What position??

Left out

Life ain't fair. You want life easy? Don't go to Chaminade.

not duke , Hopkins

Several positions

C'mon- can'name names (and school would be doing the same).

If you really care you can figure it out.

Why would you train year round, work you [lacrosse] off, why to be a state champ, that is the end all, and a memory for a life time.

Noooooo......read a page back. To own the RED HELMET silly. Stop with the who plays where etc. You are obviously a Chammy newbie with high hopes for little Biff. Be happy wit your helmet and wear your sweatshirt with pride.

A catholic championship is not a real State Championship, sorry. There is absolutely no comparison. It's St. A vs Cham, both would get spanked by a public state champion every time.

Unless you go to Regis, then Chaminade would be easy...

Pequa state champs 2013, lost to Chaminade that same season.

2013? How bout something current?

Wasn't that 2014? I think 2013 was when Ward Melville went 22-0 (they were an unbelievable team that year, probably the best team of the last ~5 years on Long Island). Chaminade did not play Ward Melville that year.

In 2012 Chaminade did beat West Islip, who later went on to win out the rest of their year.

Yes your right Pequa state champs in soccer 2013, lax SC 2014.

4/4, 5/18

Thats all that matters,,,,,,,,,

"little Biff" at Chaminade? wth. Dude, you are mistaken. Chaminade is chock full of working class students from lesser school districts working hard to improve their lot. THAT is the majority, not "Biffs".

and you collected your socio economic data where?

Only the facts on BOTC......St A #9 in country. No other LI Team above them. Sorry that the facts make u look uninformed.

Generally speaking, from the towns which the students hail from. There are a lot more Levittowns /Seafords / East meadows out there than there are Locust Valley's and Cold Spring Harbors

Three towns with largest representation at Chaminade: Manhassatt, GC, Rockville Centre - hardly blue collar country.

So what? Who really cares. What a clown, dude who cares where the kids come from. Too bad you cant afford it, maybe if Bernie won you could send "Rocko" to Chaminade instead of Roosevelt, get over it.

Right, that's four public schools out of what 48 in nassau... check your tuition roll now of kids from all the other towns and you'll see you are speaking out of your azzz.
