All Stats are available for viewing on MSG Varsity. Goals, Assists and Saves. You know who the early comits are and where they play.

Takes one to know one. Pass the hanky!!

How about F/O percentage? Many of the early commits are F/O specialists, how can we find out how they are doing?

Don't know about others, but as a general rule Chaminade doesn't accept transfers.

Yes, for the public schools. I guess the 2017's that attend the two Long Island H.S. private power programs are all on the freshmen teams due to the amount of talent in numbers, so no public stats for those players yet. But great job thus far for the freshman doing well on their public schools Varsity programs!

Very True.

I know a few Freshman that seem to be off to a great start to the Varsity season that haven't given a verbal yet. I'm looking at all Fresman playing Varsity.

Goals, assist and saves. No ground balls and defense stats.

When will Duke, G-Town , Notre Dame and Loyola start to ask for verbals.

GTown did to an LSM/D, Duke will make one soon (to a reclassified 2017), ND, in the summer, Loyola, no idea .. but it will be a Baltimore kid first

Duke has 5 2017's. News will break after final grades

Thank you. Finally, someone with wisdom!

Not true! Kids that can't catch and throw make good players look bad. Fact!

You couldn't be more wrong! You people are obsessed with being on the BEST team surrounded by the BEST players because you think your kid is the BEST! Get off your high horses. How about facing adversity! Stop riding the coat tails and take charge of the hand you were dealt. The previous poster couldn't have said it better. A great player Playing on a lower level team will and does rise above. He will become a leader And better player.

For attack its hard because you can pass it to someone and they get it turned over and then the defense is so bad that the opposing side has the ball most of the game. Yes it is good to play with bad people to become a leader but you can't be the one going through 3 defense-men and no one is doing anything to help you.

For all positions it's hard when kids are dropping balls and making wild passes. I would agree if there is a small difference, but when most of the team is not good, and a couple of kids are, they will have a tougher time really showing what they can do.

It HAS to be better to play with higher skilled players. You may cite a rare exception, but an EMO, for example, will NOT benefit young Johnny if 3 of the kids drop the ball. NO WAY, Jose'. Chasing ground balls all day may help your child at ground balls, but the game involves a bit more than that. As for character development, your point is taken. This will build cojones, but not the ENTIRE game or player. When plays go as planned, it is better

Chaminade does not accept transfers no matter what. Never did never will
God , Academics, Sports and clubs. Chaminade way. They mold them from day one

Yep, take only really smart kids, create a homogenous false environment, and take credit for the success these kids would have had if they stayed in public school. Kids make the school, school has almost zero impact on the kids. Sorry that's the reality. Not like the school is taking C+ students and turning them into A students. Taking A students and making sure they stay A students, that's about it. Which the vast majority would have been had they stayed in public school.

OMG!!! What arrogance.

That is the Chaminade way. The right way. All you people love to bash Chaminade and there great success with athletics and molding young adults. It is my fealing that all the people who bash Chaminade, cannot afford to send there son to the school. Maybe if you parents would have attended Chaminade, you would have had a better career and earned a greater salary.

This comment is clearly from a Chaminade student. I can tell by the poor writing style. What's the matter, mommy wasn't there to help make sure it was done correctly! Kids chose not to go to Chaminade because they don't want to be around snobs like you!

Into what [lacrosse]*****?

Its FEELING so now we know your parents could not afford Chaminade

The word Hole is only 4 letters not ***** ,

And its "their great success" not "there great success". Awesome job Chaminade.

Always better to play with higher skilled players in any sport as long as you can compete. If you are the best out there all the time you aren't playing against the right kids. The character comes from playing with lesser players at time and what the better player does. Does that player help or does that player criticize and complain?

Chaminade is a great school. It's not the money it costs to go but the involvement of the parent whether that support come in the form of tutors or any other extra. Most private schools only take the good students and when they don't perform pit them on probation then get rid of them if they can't achieve. The same great student with involved parents will rise at public school. It's just a choice. I didn't send my son to catholic school because I went and hated it.

Actually I did mean [lacrosse]****s! Ha , nice try! (Plural was appropriate)

Shouldn't it of been written

a**holes

I didn't know the word hole was offensive - I think you bleeped the wrong half of the word - LOL

Yep, in order to become better you should play with weaker players. That is how all kids who are trying to reach the highest level of their sport do it. Olympic hopefuls, kids trying to make it to the NBA, NFL, NHL and Major League Baseball should play with less skilled players in order to improve their own skills. I guess the student who would like to attend Harvard or MIT should take remedial courses.

Pipe down there big guy, you used the passive voice in your third sentence!

Wasn't the post about a stinky school team? Where you're at a school with a bad team? Especially public, where you may not have the luxury to send your child to private or catholic? So what? Sounds like you're a crybaby. Tell your son to work with what he's got. Then go play travel and show the colleges why they should want you!!

What is there to pipe down about? And what is with the big guy comment? My post was not meant to be passive or aggressive. It was to illustrate how absurd it is to think that you will improve at anything if you are not challenged. An athlete will not reach their potential by competing with or against weaker players. A student will not reach their potential if placed in a class with weaker students.

Sorry if this offends you.

The school which you love so dearly teaches spelling and grammar as well as eloquent writing skills. This is obvious. My public school supports your right to exercise that. Rock on, friend. I love you very much. Now run along, and let your teacher feel you up a bit.

Kind of like your Priest does? Sound's like you like that!

flop

?

Not like we don't have to pay the same school taxes you do so really we are supporting your kids not the other way around.

Check the papers lately. Seems like more public school teachers are getting caught with the wrong things on their computers or touching the wrong people.

Public schools are exactly that- public. Nothing special about them and anyone and everyone goes there that want to go there. ANYONE! So my point is don't even bother with anyone comparing public with private. You're dealing with idiots if they think people pay $$ for a private education for sub pat education!!

I'm catholic, but you're really not going to try and defend the church's record on that subject? Are you? Honestly, given that record, I would never send my son to an all boys catholic school.

This page has officially hit new lows... The stereo typing is dangerously close to the border of hate.
