Huntington guy and Syosset guy; You are both right. I put very little credence into the national polls--paper shooting at best. And just like in the NCAA's this year, just about any of those teams in the top 25 could beat any one of the other teams on any given day. Only facts to deal with are CSH beat both Syosset and Huntington AGAIN this year. So save your sour grapes to feed to big foot when you find him. No one from CSH is on here pounding their chests about being the best or superior to anyone else. Any given day, but so far each day has been their day--hopefully--keeps happening.

Nothing but crickets on the GC vs. St. I game last night?
No Box score in the paper.
ST.I came out east and played a good game against a tough Landon then came north and stymied a good GC team.
GC is pretty adept at controlling the information flow- only good news (positive puff pieces) are permitted.
Info on losses are squashed
I definitely think you're a conspiracy theorist. It was a night game. Information is called in. When Newsday publishes it isn't GC controlling it. It was a 7-4 game. It would be unsanitary to have anything written about this GC game. "They" will have none of it. However, If they won - have a parade! Now, if St. I wins today, we all know the feathers will fly with all the derogatory comments. By the way, it was a 6:00 game so, it was not late. Also, the box score still is not up on newsday or news 12. Lastly, the game is not even listed on the schedule of GC. Totally whitewashed. Next headline will be: "The Trojans are 7-0 in all the the games they won" You are a real whack job obsessed about GC. Try telling everyone on here how YOUR kid's team did, instead about GC. What a loser.

Says the guy when CSH has been top-ranked EVERY year in I don't know how long. Quick - tell this everyone else in the lacrosse world they are all wrong and THIS guy really knows what's going on. Hereafter, all HS ranking will come directly from THIS guy! Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt! "Top ranked" secondary to a perpetually weak schedule and having certain "media types" having boy crushes on a few of the players. They don't and will not play anyone else on that list above. Isn't that interesting? While several on that list will play several others. So who belongs: the boy crush team or the legit top ranked teams who actually play each other?

Okay so you think CSH is "soft" , where does your kid play? Your question is irrelevant and please, let us stay on point here, as to the focus of this dissertation, mainly being that CSH has a year after year line up of tomato cans to knock down each and every season, very conveniently, I might add. Playing but one team barely on that top 25 list plus a schedule of liberally placed palookas does not equate to a 7 ranking, me thinks. I would venture say that anyone outside of the CHS system would tend to concur with this point and that they might also agree that the boy crush by the still as yet unnamed media type has influenced, nay, hastened and supported this unsubstantiated climb up the rankings, whilst CSH remaining totally bereft of actual competition at this level. And your eloquent and non embarrassing retort might be??

Just looked at the CSH schedule. Quality wins over SW, Syosset, Southside, New Canaan, JJCR so far. You are kidding right? Tomato cans? Ask Manhasset if they are a tomato can as they got beat three years in a row by CSH. As far as the boy crush bs, when you deliver back to back state championships I for one respect those boys and so do a lot of other people within the lacrosse community on Long Island.

Knocking down a public school because yours can't beat anyone to get in the rankings or you overpaid riding the bench at a private school is sad.

New Canaan- CT State Champion.
Smithtown West-Perennial Suffolk A contender
Syosset-Won 3 of the last 4 Nassau A titles
John Jay-Perennial NY Section 1 Finalst
Southside-Annual game they have played for 20 years...
Huntington-Crosstown rivalry game they have played for 30+ years
Unfortunately Manhasset was dropped for this season due to some AD politics, hopefully that game returns as they have played annually 40 years, most seasons 2-3 times in league games and then for the county championshp.
No other Out of conference games allowed. League is what it is, not control of that.
In recent years CSh has scheduled Salesian-Perennnial Deleware stateChamp, Medfield-Mass state champ, St. Andrew's in Florida-perennial Fl state champ, St. Paul's MD. I could go on, but I think point was made.

Past glory days being put aside; how do these current "quality wins" justify a 7 ranking? speak on this

And, I am not a CSH resident nor a "fan".

Clearly you are not the Mensa member of the family, so please refrain from further pedantic outbursts and attempts at insults. Try to follow along. The dialogue was meant to question the validity of a 7 ranking for CSH in the face of a poor overall competition schedule against nationally ranked teams to justify such placement. expand on this topic if you will

As I said earlier in this thread about the national POLLS. Its like six guys that have seen maybe two teams each actually play. Its worth the paper its printed on so your opinion is probably just as valid as theirs. I can promise you, in the locker room the IL lax poll is not discussed, posted, referenced or on the wall of goals. And also on any given day just about any team on that list can beat any other team--in addition to another 25 not on the list. Given all that--Csh is right in the mix whether they are "ranked" 7th or drop a game and fall back to 45th...

As I said earlier in this thread about the national POLLS. Its like six guys that have seen maybe two teams each actually play. Its worth the paper its printed on so your opinion is probably just as valid as theirs. I can promise you, in the locker room the IL lax poll is not discussed, posted, referenced or on the wall of goals.

A legitimate answer finally. The polls are evidently biased and will never be an accurate representation of actual possible rankings; but they should take into account strength of current schedule and not past glory or the number of "ranked" players on a given team.

I think the poll does however take into account results of cross region games and tries to piece things together--however, the flaw is in the starting view on how strong a given team or region is--I don't think they are blindly picking teams--they do the best they can based on what limited information and band width that they have and of course there are always going to be morons like yourself that nit pick it or have your own bias or anti sentiment against a certain team or town or some argument in a vacuum to refute their efforts. Thanks for your effort of breaking a certain team down in an effort to substantiate your bias... remember, its a lot easier to break something down than it is to build it. Stay positive champ.

Based on this year's results to date, the center of lax universe is moving down 95 from LI to Baltimore (MIAA) and Washington (IAC)....but in a few years it may be located on the West coast!

Wow, you're so dumb, you failed an open book test. It's in Newsday, 7-4, Nothing but crickets on the GC vs. St. I game last night?
No Box score in the paper.
ST.I came out east and played a good game against a tough Landon then came north and stymied a good GC team.
GC is pretty adept at controlling the information flow- only good news (positive puff pieces) are permitted.
Info on losses are squashed

What "past glory" is involved here?? This past glory(below) pertaining to "quality opponents" as per another post, which apparently is justification for the current status: New Canaan- CT State Champion. Smithtown West-Perennial Suffolk A contender Syosset-Won 3 of the last 4 Nassau A titles John Jay-Perennial NY Section 1 Finalst Southside-Annual game they have played for 20 years... Huntington-Crosstown rivalry game they have played for 30+ years Unfortunately Manhasset was dropped for this season due to some AD politics, hopefully that game returns as they have played annually 40 years, most seasons 2-3 times in league games and then for the county championshp. No other Out of conference games allowed. League is what it is, not control of that. In recent years CSh has scheduled Salesian-Perennnial Deleware stateChamp, Medfield-Mass state champ, St. Andrew's in Florida-perennial Fl state champ, St. Paul's MD. I could go on, but I think point was made.

I could go on, but I think point was made. In general, their "quality of opponent" has never been more or less than it is now - I'd even go so far as to argue that it is better today than historically, and any change in competition is largely limited to out of conference opponents, while their in conference competition has been mostly constant. So any allusion that their historical rankings/prestige were justified then ("past glory"), which no one seems to be disputing, versus not being justified today is an application of absolute illogic.

Get a life guy... I guess you are right, they go looking for the softest O/C opponents they can find. I'll take my rose colored glasses off and just enjoy my view without them. Keep grasping for straws...It is obvious to all of us on here--you have an axe to grind.

There in is the "flaw" in your inane attempt to salvage a lost argument; that being "you think". I so do not care what you "think". I care that there is zero substantiation of a 7 ranking by CHS based on not playing other than one team in the top 25. Until that "flaw" is addressed in a cohesive and intelligent manner, without resorting to base insulting and otherwise noncontributory conjecture, then all other follow up statements are otherwise worthless drivel.

And stop writing like you are trying to impress a college professor - on a public, anonymous lacrosse board, it does not come off as impressive. Rather, it reeks of someone trying TOO hard to elevate their argument by means of nothing more than ostentatious lexicon.

Get over it, these are polls. Have you seen every ranked team play & what makes your criteria not "drivel" to everyone else? Those "quality" teams were ranked when schedules were made they just got beat by CSH or others & knocked out. That's the way it goes. We all heard your point but you don't hear anyone else's so move on...or post your own poll.

Forgive me; I forgot that this forum is followed primarily by long island blue collar types. That is unfortunate and ultimately very telling by the responses received thus far. Please do consider going back to school and perhaps you can relate to a higher level of communication without feeling threatened by polysyllabic words. Cheers

Seriously, are people really arguing about what HS team is and is not deserving of a "top 25" ranking? Anyone, and I mean anyone who thinks that there is any validity to a ranking of teams across state lines that never play each other is crazy. Not to mention the act that some of the teams listed barely have winning records. Come on man, someone (Ty) just lists 25 of the same pool of teamsnover and over every year. Get a grip, no one will ever know who the best team is and that is a fact
