The committed senior deserves the job. he is committed to D 1 too. great player, even better kid.

Chaminade program is rolling now from top to bottom. All three teams look good. Varsity looks really, really good. People talk about the defense, but the truth is they are strong at all positions.

Let me know when they play someone good, and don't tell me WM is good. I'm taking a real team.

Many know (JV Frosh) wouldn't be rolling if another school didn't pull up so many kids. So please let's keep the rolling comments to our varsity team no need to go further. Keep working.

Who would you take, Duke goalie, or Deleware goalie?

I'd take the one going to Manhattan College.

You mean blue devil or jasper

I guess we should all just give it up then. If you are saying WM isn't good then why should any team outside the top 25 in the country bother to play? We all aren't so lucky.

They have 3 committed goalies: junior going to Duke (starter) and 1 senior going to Manhattan and 1 senior going to Wesleyan. I'm taking the one going to Wesleyan - turned down lower level D1 schools for the academics at Wesleyan...

Who wouldn't go Wesleyan over Duke? That is a great idea.

Are you comparing Duke University to Manhattan College?? Is that what I am reading? Or are you saying seniors should play over juniors regardless of who is better?

It should always be about the academics, winning a national title and $5.00 will get you a nice cup of coffee at starbucks and possibly a job.

Chaminade players have traditionally leveraged lacrosse for Private universities that are admissions reach. They are prudent enough not to chase a school based on best probability for D1 National Championships (at the expense of education)...

Let's try not to talk too much sh*t about high school kids. There's nothing wrong with choosing to go D3 over D1.

Hey, if you're willing to go to Wesleyan, and deal with the largest per capita [lacrosse] population of all 4 year schools in America, more power to you! I guess going to school for another four years with all boys is no big deal. Oh and by the way, the morals, values and beliefs taught at Chaminade are 180* opposite at Lesleyan... Not the place for my kid.

Wesleyan is ranked 8th academically and Duke 26th by Forbes. Both are great institutions but people chose what fits for them not what others think.

Wow my girl plays softball, that's good to know. Thanjs

Can you back up the largest per capita [lacrosse] population of all 4 year schools? Where does one get that information. And who cares? By the way, how much exposure will a kid on the lacrosse field get to the [lacrosse] community? It is about academics first - lacrosse second. You should send your kid to Siena or Marist - but it is not in the same stratosphere academically as Wesleyan (plus Wesleyan will beat them both in lacrosse). I'm sure the kid will not let lesbians take over his life.

Your statement just shows your ignorance...

According to bestcolleges.com the best colleges for LGBT:

University Of Pennsylvania
Ithaca College
Indiana University Bloomington
University Of Washington
Tufts University
University Of Massachusetts Amherst
San Diego State University
Princeton University
Penn State University
University of Oregon

According to collegechoice.net the Top 10 are:

PRINCETON UNIVERSITY
MIT
UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN EAU CLAIRE
UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA
UCLA
UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN
CORNELL UNIVERSITY
HARVEY MUDD COLLEGE
OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY
JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY

I don't see Wesleyan anywhere in the top 25 on both these websites. I do however see some prominent D1 lacrosse programs...

If you include the sophomore class it would be 5 committed goalies, one to Notre Dame and one to Furman.

Hey, I'm a [lacrosse] too!

Lighten up Francis!

Manhattan?
Hahaha

Not for nothing but Wesleyan would beat Manhattan...

How many high school coaches make their teams better with the talent afforded them?

Isn't that their job?

CSH only has 3 - 4 standout players? Seriously??

ouch St. Dom's, a westchester team?

CSH had their three seniors featured in Newsday, I think they have quite a few more stand out players. More like 8-10, they are a very talented program. Put the coach in Valley Stream and see how he does.

How many do their job well ?
How many may not have the most talented players yet get the most out of what they have?

Easy one Northport

Another well known Chaminade Alumni doing the school proud today!

What do they teach at Chaminade anyway? What is the School's motto?

They won the game right?

Want the real answer? Because when you are used to getting the best players all the time (regardless of your coaching) you get lazy. Ask the coaches of the other CHSAA teams how they continually try to level the playing field, that is like the titanic right before it plunged to the bottom of the sea. [/quote]

...Chaminade coaches are good people and the kids respond well to them.
Game time strategy and execution is poor... Despite their terrible execution on clears, man up, settled offense, they still manage to win deep talented athletes.

Compared to CSH coaching that wins with execution, despite only having 3-4 stand out players.[/quote]

CSH only has 3 - 4 standout players? Seriously??[/quote]

Really only 2-3 decent players. Seriously.

motto: play with boys, not girls. Bill O' was an outcast.

McQuillan?

McQuillan?

Does he also coach wrestling?

he's a very good man who knows the game of lacrosse and teaches it well

McQuillan is a person with character . Calm guy . Why do people spread rumors our attack a person character when they don't get there way. Maybe ask around the lax community .
