The competition to maintain one's starting spot is certainly higher at schools like Chaminade that have far deeper rosters.

While first string players are generally about the same skill-wise vs. public schools (as evidenced by these programs trading wins every year), the third string at Chaminade are usually far better than their counterparts at even huge public schools like Ward Melville.


trading wins every year?? (alternative reality) - Chaminade lost 2 public school games last year, and the narrative was - "Chaminade's worst season in decades..."


Chaminade went 2-2 against Long Island public school teams last year. That's exactly what "trading wins" means in this context.

(I played at Chaminade and am about as big a homer as one can be.)

How does that negate what I said?


...cause public HS would have same number of 1st string commits, if skills were viewed the same by college coaches


The "best" public school on Long Island each year typically has real-deal recruits that compare pretty well to the first string at Chaminade's and St. Anthony's. The Catholics just usually have more of them, due mainly to the fact that they're not town-limited.


well said
