Guy is comparing Mark to Cabel

RD and SW.

Correct.

Why? If you are in the know, you should know, if not, why do you need to know ? Knowingly strange.

Wrong team…. Not 91.

This thread is for high school lacrosse. Not club lacrosse.
Go to the appropriate thread for that.

There is a separate forum for Team 91. Mark will be happy to help you out there. This page is for High School.

CH has 123 kids listed in their lacrosse program:

41 Freshmen
33 Sophs
30 Jrs
19 Srs.

There is a big wash-out between F->SO and JR->SR.
Jimmy Ruffin is suddenly playing in my head:

Also have 2 seniors with no eligibility. And 1 junior with only only 1 year of eligibility.

MIAA A Conference teams are hard to make and even more difficult to get quality PT. Aside from the inclusion of FS teams and the larger numbers included on the squad rosters, the numbers going out for the lacrosse hasn't changed in fifty years. If your point is making a squad at a smaller school is easier, once again nothing has changed there either.

Is one of those the CH -> High Point goalie? Noticed his name wasn't on the roster. Thought it was odd.


It is always hard to make a roster OR get PT. But there were not 120 kids going out for lax when I went to CH in the 90s. Our roster size was ~25JV and ~35V kids, tops. We probably had closer to 80 hopefuls in the school and only half that were really any good.

I remember 85 going out for JV and 35ish for varsity. Not saying everyone going out for JV was good, but we were cutting 10-15 good players (usually freshmen) when there wasn't a FS team. My point is as follows: Interest in making the lacrosse team hasn't changed, the number of teams and spots on the roster has. I would posit there are more opportunities to play (at least in practice) now (between more HS teams, larger rosters and the club options) vs then.

Clearly this indicates lots of kids never make it off the FS team and then even more don’t make it off JV.

Which im not sure that anyone should be surprised about.

If you could get Nugent to stop take rippers and Pelky to stop with the chicks some of those teams could have been good.

That's too bad some kids cant get a chance to play for their own hs.
Good for schools that offer a club option below even fresh/soph for those bottom tier kids too.
