I have heard that this is the case. Their JV team must be lights out having committed kids play on the JV. I have known some freaks of nature that were in 10th grade I could not imagine them playing JV as 10th grade especially football.
How about the 9th grader who is better then the senior but has to wait his turn.

He's not, and that's what you knowingly signed up for ! That 9th grader doesn't even get to play JV. They play on all freshman team.
You know that when you enroll,its the families choice
I think there have been 2 sophomores in the last 10 years who got called up to play on varsity. Never a freshman. And everyone knows that going in. Moran's 500 wins and who knows how many D-1 players that have played for him are testament to a system that seems to work pretty well. May not be for everyone and if that is the case, don't have your kid take the test to get in.

All while my son has been lighting it up on varsity since freshman year for a great public school program, and I mean great athletically as well as academically. He will go to a top 20 school with enough AP credits to enter with sophomore standing. And he has the excitement and experience of 4 years of varsity. Is there really even a debate?
It's a bunch of BS and needs to change. There's no reason why it has to be such a rigid system with no flexibility. Paying customers (parents) need to unite and rise up to storm the fortress. We need regime change! It's such a happy go lucky place with free will in so many other ways and so it should be with lax as well.

That's so not the norm. Congrats to your prodigy. If you were all that there would be no need to trash talk on a Chamnade thread.

Not trash talking, just stating facts. And my son is certainly not the only one. Go to WM,Syosset, SE,GC,etc, you will find many similar stories. If you are happy at Cham, that's great. Just suggesting many publics offer the kids a better overall experience. Oh,and there are girls!

The old I don't live in New [lacrosse].
Good luck to you as well. While we are rivals (and fierce ones) there is always respect for your school and your program. Go Friars!

Good luck with the overthrow. You will find out quickly that attending is a privilege and its not about your "lax rights". It's about a solid catholic education.

Yes. All of that may not prevent your kid from behaving like you some day.!
And we would love to hear what "top" school your son has been "lightening it up " on as a freshman. I don't remember seeing that happen anywhere??

Not facts........your opinion.....which appears to lack any knowledge and is lacking in actual facts. Oh yea......nobody cares about your opinion or your prodigy. Hope you enjoy the baggy pants, backward hat wearing crowd at his school.
biggest problem with Chaminade lacrosse is not the discrimination against underclassmen it is the fact that they only let in Catholic's - makes no sense to me, team could be so much better with a some Protestants maybe a Jewish kid or two and how about an Atheist?

Clearly my post struck a nerve. You can check past stats and see that many freshman and sophs were big contributors to their varsity squads. Those are facts, not opinions. If you check commitment lists , you can also confirm many public HSs are sending a good amount of their lax players to top schools. This is not an opinion either. Like I said ,it's great if you are happy with the program Chaminade has to offer. I was just offering that the overall experience for some kids may be better at the publics. No need to attack me or my son. Wishing all the boys a great season whether they play varsity or freshman team.

Super! good luck with the 7-10,000 in tuition assistance he may get. Ten years from now, he will be working for the Chaminade grad, IT'S ABOUT THE EDUCATION ! ! !
Name your great school district then. And please don't ever compare it to Chaminade

Why are you so mad? Is it because you are paying 7-10,000, for what you could be getting for free? Or is it because your kid is playing for a freshman team that nobody cares about? Ha!

Why is that the only answer that parents and student have to be like sheep and just be quiet? The school is funded by parents and alumni and the people managing it should have to answer to the paying customers. That's how it should work and will work if we get enough people to speak out and grab control of the situation.

Times they are a changin' in the lax world and so too should this ridiculous "system" at Chaminade. Do all Catholic schools like Kellenberg, Holy Trinity etc. have the same ridiculousness?

Wait until the lax mommies start getting involved - they'll shake things up for sure.

Most "Old School" folks like it the way it is. "Individuals", need not apply. Besides, what you're describing, sounds like Barry's America.No thanks.

Because you chose to go to a program that has a history and tradition of doing things a certain way, but you feel it needs to change for you. No one is saying change is bad but Chaminade has established itself as an institution where faith, education and athletics are its priority and prerogative. If you don't like the way they do it then why did you go there. Maybe you should find an institution that will change a tradition just for you.

You don't have to go there. You make a decision to attend. If you dont like the rules , go somewhere else. The privileged parents who influence their public schools , coaches and administrators find this frustrating. It's an accomplishment and privilege to attend. The people who attend aren't "customers' they are part of a community, and willing pay tuition in order to provide this experience for their kids. Go try and control your pal , club team or some other cause you can bully and influence.

Thinking as an individual is what made this country great. The Chaminade way is suffocating and maybe explains why a small town team like Yorktown crushes them every year. Fear, intimidation and rigidity is a relic of the 50's. Enjoy.

It's abundantly clear the jealousy is yours. You wouldn't have to come on the Chaminade thread if that was not the case. There really is no debate on that one.
Of what?

Nobody scorned, you just keep hurling insults. Maybe you know Ive be making some valid points such as:
1)Kids can get an excellent education at a public HS
2)Good lacrosse players get the experience and exciment of playing 4 years of varsity at publics.
3)Many lacrosse players from public scools are/will play at top 20 schools.
4) Public education is free.
I guess we can just agree to disagree. Good luck to you and your son. Stop being so angry. It's a free world and everyone can make the decision that is best suited for their family. I just shared my experience.

I agree, in the right district you can get a great education. However, there is a difference in behavior in the classrooms. In public school, kids are frequently distracted by kids that don't have the discipline that you will see in a Chaminade classroom. If there is a behavior problem, it is easily handled, whereas in public school, it can escalate and disrupt learning over a long period of time.
The alumni connections are also a huge plus. That said, I have one son that chose public school and one chose private. Both have great academics at their fingertips. Different kids thrive in different environments.

Is there really even a debate started the insults. Go away.
Btw no one attacked your son. You brought him into this by bragging about how hes been lighting up the field since ninth grade on varsity and proceeding to recite his resume. Lets not play the victim. Chaminade is not for everyone. Your attitude toward it however makes me wonder why you have to be so defensive. There was no reason for you to chime in except for your need to brag. No one ever says why would you send your kid there. It is old school. Thank God. There is accountability. Something seriously lacking in society as a whole.
Bottom line is- both places- public and private can show you a list of kids with top resumes. I think for some, tradition, religion, discipline, great alumni network, and strong sports across the board is enough to make a family think a few grand for a these added experiences is worth while. Doesn't make one better or worse, just different experiences.
Personally, I like the 3 different lax teams the way Chaminade has it set up. I think it is important to bond with your classmates to make a stronger Varsity club as you will have played together as a unit for longer period of time. It's not hurting them, so why mess with it? Just my opinion.

It's not hurting them? They have more lax talent in grades 9-12 than one could even imagine. Yet somehow, they lose games to public school teams? Should never be a close game against a public, ever. Maybe if they just played the best kids, regardless of grade, they'd win more. Oh wait, they're not about winning now, that's right.
Everybody knows that Chaminade recruits. But, in this age of early college recruiting, it has become a much tougher sell to convince a kid to "wait his turn" and be buried in the Chaminade "system" for two years - TICK TOC, TICK TOC while his buddies back home are moved up to varsity. No doubt the "system" will have to change if they care at all about attracting the best lax talent possible.
I often hear about how great the academics are at Chaminade. Im just curious do they have a higher ratio of students getting into Ivy League schools as compared to the better public schools such as Jericho,Roslyn and any others ? I had a neighbor graduate from Chaminade and went on the The University of Delaware I think the same could have been achieved at many public schools. I guess I will have to stand by and see about the " conections ". Thanks

Yes I am sure the Chaminade alumni at big law firms and the Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sacks really care about lacrosse. If lacrosse was these families #1 priority, they would be at St Anthony's! Lax will help these kids into Princeton and Duke they really don't care about being recruited early to CW Post
We are all fortunate we live in an area where families have choices. Chaminade is not for everybody and if you choose to send your son elsewhere no need to come on here and bash the school. Chaminade has been doing its thing for 85 years and has a good recipe for success which goes far, far beyond just lacrosse. I can promise you that. The beauty of the school is that there is something for every type of kid. The lacrosse wins get celebrated the same as those from the bowling team or speech and debate. That said, Chaminade does not have a monopoly on success. Of course you can be as successful or more out of a public school. Of course, there are public school athletic programs that rival Chaminade's. Oh and of course the Ivy League isn't exactly rolling out the red carpet for applicants from a conservative all boys Catholic school. Is any of this really a surprise? Make whatever choice you want to make, but drop the Chaminade hating......People who are spewing that stuff on here don't know the first thing about the school.

Then don't enroll your son at Chaminade. Parents like this are what's wrong with youth sports.

Your right, it's not for girls. What's up with that? It's 2015. C'mon!
This thread reminds of the conversations that were brought upon my wife I and when we decided to enroll our children in private school. As in this thread, the questions and comments received were critical and reflected insecurity and a justification from those who chose public.
The Catholics are not the end-all-be-all by any stretch of the imagination. In fact, it can be argued that in most school districts, the resources available to the students is much greater.
The decision of where to send your child is personal to the family. It's in poor taste for Chaminade parents to get on a forum and boast about the superiority of their school, in the same way as it is for people to be so critical of Chaminade. It's a great thing for us to all have choices where we live.
For the poster who asked how many Chaminade kids get into the ivy's, that's truly an ignorant question. If you haven't learned by now how the Ivy admissions quota has turned away from white, male, catholic, suburban, middle to upper class, private school kids, then you need to do some more research.

If the Pope can demonstrate new flexibilities so can Chaminade lax. I'll allow Chaminade to benefit from my son's lacrosse skills but only under conditions that are acceptable to me.

yes, if you need resources, public is definitely the way to go. you basically just said that all of our white boys aren't getting into ivy league anyway because of discrimination so why bother with a private education. that's some rationale you've got going on there. again, no one had to remotely boast until the lighting it up kid's dad interjected his snide remark.

Public schools can achieve the same especially if you are North of the LIE but no one will ever say you decreased your son's chances of Ivy by going to Chaminade. It's a hard case to make otherwise.

Guess you two misfits missed the misfit talking about the silly Pope. Guess the misfit was was referring to him reaching out and having dinner with some transgender misfits in jail. Gotta love all the jerk off misfits on this site.

Plenty of reasons for a family to choose private beyond the chance at an Ivy admission. Success can be achieved indefinitely without an Ivy education and Ivy doesn't guarantee success. Plenty of great schools otherwise. I feel sorry for any student or parent who puts their only hope for success on an Ivy League education.

Chaminade is catholic school, not a private school. one admission criteria: take a relatively easy test, if you pass, you get in, private schools have a real application process, no standardized test to pass and are exclusive.
Is this topic a lacrosse topic or public vs. catholic high school education forum? Mr. Hop and Mr. Miller; any chance at talking these people in off the ledge and getting back on lacrosse?

Taking 400 of about 2000 applicants is pretty selective. I guess your public school has a better vetting process ?

Just because a kid applies, does not mean they actually want to go there. Some may just want to see if they are accepted,others will decide to go to more prestigious schools. Kind of like college apps

The amount of misinformation and ignorance already on this thread is pretty staggering. The test is not "pass/fail" for starters.....I would explain further but I am not sure you have a legitimate interest in understanding how it actually works. Your post is emblematic of many on here in that it just shows a total lack of knowledge about the school.

If you haven't learned by now how the Ivy admissions quota has turned away from white, male, catholic, suburban, middle to upper class, private school kids, then you need to do some more research.
yes, if you need resources, public is definitely the way to go. you basically just said that all of our white boys aren't getting into ivy league anyway because of discrimination so why bother with a private education. that's some rationale you've got going on there. again, no one had to remotely boast until the lighting it up kid's dad interjected his snide remark.
Plenty of reasons for a family to choose private beyond the chance at an Ivy admission. Success can be achieved indefinitely without an Ivy education and Ivy doesn't guarantee success. Plenty of great schools otherwise. I feel sorry for any student or parent who puts their only hope for success on an Ivy League education.
Chaminade is catholic school, not a private school. one admission criteria: take a relatively easy test, if you pass, you get in, private schools have a real application process, no standardized test to pass and are exclusive.
The amount of misinformation and ignorance already on this thread is pretty staggering. The test is not "pass/fail" for starters.....I would explain further but I am not sure you have a legitimate interest in understanding how it actually works. Your post is emblematic of many on here in that it just shows a total lack of knowledge about the school.
I will take a high quality education combined with catholic ideals/education any day of the week vs public school left wing whinning teachers who are more worried about common core and being evaluated than teaching.

The Catholics are not the end-all-be-all by any stretch of the imagination. In fact, it can be argued that in most school districts, the resources available to the students is much greater.
The decision of where to send your child is personal to the family. It's in poor taste for Chaminade parents to get on a forum and boast about the superiority of their school, in the same way as it is for people to be so critical of Chaminade.

Wrong. Catholic schools are private schools. The exclusivity of a school is an altogether different conversation.
Anyone the score from saturday?

That test is not relatively easy for the many kids who don't make the cut
Taking 400 of about 2000 applicants is pretty selective. I guess your public school has a better vetting process ?
they take a lot more than 400, not all that get in go idiot

At least public teachers are certified. You don't know what you are getting at private schools. Although I'm sure there are some fine educators there, they can't attract the best due to the low salaries. More often it's the teachers who can't find/keep a job at a public.

Huh?????? No tailgating at little Jr's 2023 summer travel team tournament....... Knucklehead.
Or teachers who went to the schools and want to give back and work there. Your "certified" teachers answer to the unions and are not held to a higher standard. Good luck once tenured. Your perception on money is off base. These are not catholic grammar school salaries. Certainly not public school money. I know its unexplainable to someone like yourself that people do things that are not strictly financial driven. That is the part of the culture and experience, you will never get. It is certainly not for everyone, but it is unreasonable to say the education or educators are sub par.
Shut this thread down already.....it apparently has zero to do with lax.

That's contradictory to the pompous statements made by several on here suggesting going to chaminade will get their kid a better paying job, which will lead to a happier life. I guess that the low paid teachers must got there because they didn't go to a school like chaminade, because if we follow your logic, they would be working at Jericho. Cerification ensures that the teacher is competent in the subject they teach. Kind of like when you hire a lawyer,you want to know they passed the bar. Best salaries attract best employees, in general. Kind of like parents hoping their kid gets into the best possible college they can, which is also in general.

Move on if you don't like it or inject a lacrosse related comment if you need that so badly.

Agreed, why take the time to type that you want it shut down instead of just typing your lacrosse post.

At least the last 30 posts have nothing to do with lacrosse and are riddled with innacuracies about the school. Not sure how reading page after page of false information is helpful....but knock yourself out.

Maybe you should petition for the name of the thread to be changed. Last I checked it was called Chaminade news and stories. That opens it up to alot. How about Chaminade lacrosse?

I think only Seniors and Juniors can change the name of the post
I don't understand the haters on this thread. If you don't like Chaminade for being Catholic, or only admitting Catholics. don't send your son. if you don't like the boys only or the only upperclassmen play varsity, or the cost of the school, or any other facet of the school don't send your son. Everyone knows the basic rules to Chaminade, so if you don't agree than send your kid to your public school or to St.A ,K-berg, or S.J.B. I grew up in Mineola right across the street from Cham. and every day we would see bus loads of kids from all over going their, not to mention the dozens of kids that would walk to the train station to go either to the city or out east because there school would not bus them, so believe me if you don't like it there is no shortage of people to take a spot.

The Brothers who run Chaminade also run Kellenberg, so not much of a difference there.

I think the issue is changing the rules to reflect the changing lacrosse landscape when it comes to lacrosse. Not playing varsity until 11th grade was fine 10 years ago but not fine now. These "rules" should change to reflect the new realities.
ok lets overhall school policy for this lax mom. why not

I believe they have been in the top 10 nationally for quite a while. Their recipe for success has been in place for a long, long time. So to all of you that think they know better, stay in Baldwin HS, or Island Trees or wherever it is you come from. Besides, It's about the superior education.

They are top 10 team in country. You think they need to play your freshman or soph??? Go to public school or another private school if so hung up on playing varsity.

It can be argued that playing varsity as a freshman or sophomore means LESS today than ten years ago. There are many more opportunities today to be recruited, given the showcases and prospect days. Most college coaches won't even come to a high school game unless a championship is involved. Sure, it's great for the resume to list "varsity as a freshman", but unless you live in a town with a dominant program it doesn't matter. As well, are coaches clueless as to the cultures at schools that don't move underclassmen to varsity? Don't think so. Bottom line, there's no reason for the Catholics to change.

Who's ranking are you referring to? Because I never Saw Chaminade in top 10. In fact, some LI publics are ranked ahead of them, maybe they should take advantage of the young talent before they slip even more!

I grew up in Mineola right across the street from Cham. and every day we would see bus loads of kids from all over going their, not to mention the dozens of kids that would walk to the train station to go either to the city or out east because there school would not bus them, so believe me if you don't like it there is no shortage of people to take a spot.
I think the issue is changing the rules to reflect the changing lacrosse landscape when it comes to lacrosse. Not playing varsity until 11th grade was fine 10 years ago but not fine now. These "rules" should change to reflect the new realities.
I will say this again.
The world does not revolve around Lacrosse.
Especially at Chaminade!

They are top 10 team in country. You think they need to play your freshman or soph??? Go to public school or another private school if so hung up on playing varsity.
Who's ranking are you referring to? Because I never Saw Chaminade in top 10. In fact, some LI publics are ranked ahead of them, maybe they should take advantage of the young talent before they slip even more!
I am not a Chaminade grad but I believe 8 is in top 10??

We'll see how good these rankings are after this weekends game with WM who aren't even ranked. If Chaminade can win that one with a decent margin, then I'll believe they are legitimacy deserving such a high ranking.

Why the resistance (fear) to change to match what others have already done? What are they afraid of? Change can be a good thing.

Yes. Someone believes that. Apparently the people at Under Armour feel strongly about it. Not in top 25!

Wrong again. The chaminade JV team would beat half the varsity teams on Long island and give the next 25% an even matchup. only the top 25% of teams on Long Island would consistently beat the Chammy JV. So play varsity all you want but what good is it when you lose to the Chammy JV.

Still, no answer to the question of what harm would it do to change? What are they afraid of? I bet now with all this chatter, they are thinking harder than ever about it and will eventually bend to the pressure. That's how it works at these schools. C'mon coach, give it a shot!
A shame no Chaminade or St. Anthony kids highlighted in this article about Super Sophs on varsity. http://www.newsday.com/sports/high-...-as-li-lacrosse-season-begins-1.10116194

It's already been proven wrong and that lists like this mean nothing at beginning of a new season...... Syosset beat Chaminade easily and made them look like a JVB team in their scrimmage last week and Syosset also beat Garden City with no problem a week after that. So a list like this makes no sense that those teams are in top 20 and a team like Syosset didn't even make top 25. These lists are a joke . I'm sure St. Anthony's agrees considering their ranking below Chaminade . Btw heard Syosset beat CSH today 11-4

It can be argued that playing varsity as a freshman or sophomore means LESS today than ten years ago. There are many more opportunities today to be recruited, given the showcases and prospect days. Most college coaches won't even come to a high school game unless a championship is involved. Sure, it's great for the resume to list "varsity as a freshman", but unless you live in a town with a dominant program it doesn't matter. As well, are coaches clueless as to the cultures at schools that don't move underclassmen to varsity? Don't think so. Bottom line, there's no reason for the Catholics to change.

That's because sophomores don't contribute at chaminade. At other schools they are valued for their talent and and big contributors to their teams. A Shame!

I think the issue is changing the rules to reflect the changing lacrosse landscape when it comes to lacrosse. Not playing varsity until 11th grade was fine 10 years ago but not fine now. These "rules" should change to reflect the new realities.
It can be argued that playing varsity as a freshman or sophomore means LESS today than ten years ago. There are many more opportunities today to be recruited, given the showcases and prospect days.

Nobody is suggesting that they have to change, the question being raised is should they change. It sounds like they will, now it's just a matter of when.

We'll see how good these rankings are after this weekends game with WM who aren't even ranked. If Chaminade can win that one with a decent margin, then I'll believe they are legitimacy deserving such a high ranking.
Well , I'm sure they will do their best to convince you??
Right ... And it is important to know that many of the teams on this list will be playing Cham and St. Ants.
Why .... Because they are the best competition consistently.
Not only will Flyers play WM, but also St. A (2x), Delby, Pequa, Y-town, and Greenwich.
Add to that WI, Fairfield Prep.
StA has Cham, delby, Darien, haverford, and many other premier teams too.
No public has as tough a schedule.
And by the way over the past 5 years Cham has been the second most consistently superior program in the nation (second only to Haver Ford). Based on lax power final rankings. Fact !!!
...so really no need to "change" because some joe the plumber or car sales guy or stock broker or insurance guy says so.

So if they aren't nunber 1 in the country they should play freshman? That's the answer. If unhappy go somewhere else.

It's already been proven wrong and that lists like this mean nothing at beginning of a new season...... Syosset beat Chaminade easily and made them look like a JVB team in their scrimmage last week and Syosset also beat Garden City with no problem a week after that. So a list like this makes no sense that those teams are in top 20 and a team like Syosset didn't even make top 25. These lists are a joke . I'm sure St. Anthony's agrees considering their ranking below Chaminade . Btw heard Syosset beat CSH today 11-4
Chaminade beat St Anthonys in championship last year. Why surprised ranked lower? And CSH is not even in conversation. Not sure what point is there

Oh yes. It was a brilliant and thought provoking article.
It's hard to understand the obsession with the lacrosse culture at the Catholics. It borders on envy, really. Schools only move underclass players up if needed. Many publics don't have the depth at the junior and senior level, so they draw deeper. Not to mention the cronyism that occurs in town athletics.
High level players at the Catholics are having no problem getting recruited, so that point is moot.
Kicking up the crap for crap's sake is just exposing the ignorance of those posters here. Chime on if that's who you are.

Wrong again. The chaminade JV team would beat half the varsity teams on Long island and give the next 25% an even matchup. only the top 25% of teams on Long Island would consistently beat the Chammy JV. So play varsity all you want but what good is it when you lose to the Chammy JV.
Still, no answer to the question of what harm would it do to change? What are they afraid of? I bet now with all this chatter, they are thinking harder than ever about it and will eventually bend to the pressure. That's how it works at these schools. C'mon coach, give it a shot!
The bs on this website is not even on their radar by any stretch of the imagination. Lets just move on, kids get cut from freshman teams every year and are playing varsity in public the next season, if your looking to build a sports resume go public

Face the facts that frosh and sophs at Chaminade and St Anthony's wallow in obscurity for 2 years and then may never see the field as either Juniors or Seniors. Ugh - no thanks, you can have it.
Just saw the full schedule for St Anthony's. It's definitely tougher than Chaminade's.
Do freshman and sophomores at St. Anthony's also not play on their Varsity team, I'm honesty just asking, not being critical. I live in Maryland and fromreading this thread, I had assumed it was something unique to Chaminade.
When are you people going to get it? If Lacrosse is your families #1 priority and you want to play as an 8th or 9th grader, Chaminade is not for you PERIOD. Although Chaminade is very good in many sports, families are choosing Chaminade for the education and other offerings. Stay in publics that where you belong with this priority set.

This comment should read "...and you want to play as a 10th grader, Chaminade is not for you PERIOD."
Brilliant !!!!! Guess you didnt read the article since it was a public school breakdown.
Again I will state.......The JV teams from St A and Chaminade would beat 50% of the Varsity teams in nassau and Suffolk. The only teams beating those JV's are the top 25% of all teams on Long Island. Oh yea...go to catholic school JV chamiopnship.....then you will see 20+ college coaches watching. Please stay at publics....pad your stats....we are just fine at the catholics and playing at the next level.

What to you think is the percentage of 9th and 10th graders in starting positions on the top 25 rank teams?

The Brothers who run Chaminade also run Kellenberg, so not much of a difference there.
The Brothers? Express runs!
Please enlighten us as to how Express sets policy at Chaminade and Kellenberg.
50 kids were cut from Freshman team. Were any of the Express A, B or C players cut?

Brilliant!!!!! if they would beat 50% of the Varsity teams yet only 25% of the varsity teams would beat them do we assume that 25% of the games are tied?

So using your logic, if they had been allowed to play varsity as Freshman and Sophomores they would have thrived as Juniors and Seniors but since they are not allowed to move up and are forced to work on their games for two years they are somehow never going to see the field as juniors and Seniors? seriously?

I have seen some of these players playing in the summer too. Maybe they see better competition in the 40 games they play then, then the weak public school schedules they play.
Up yours with that comment about weak public school schedules. Arogant P***k.
we are one team. all in it together. the jrs and seniors who will never play still have that on the resume'

Will Chaminade beat Pequa today ?
How about just get a tutor and remember lacrosse is a game that will be over in a just a few short years
I would be surprised if kids need help with classes parents wouldn't get help
You're being a little bit condescending.
Yes even non "private" school kids have same goal
No pun intended

I think the issue is changing the rules to reflect the changing lacrosse landscape when it comes to lacrosse. Not playing varsity until 11th grade was fine 10 years ago but not fine now. These "rules" should change to reflect the new realities.
It can be argued that playing varsity as a freshman or sophomore means LESS today than ten years ago. There are many more opportunities today to be recruited, given the showcases and prospect days. Most college coaches won't even come to a high school game unless a championship is involved. Sure, it's great for the resume to list "varsity as a freshman", but unless you live in a town with a dominant program it doesn't matter. As well, are coaches clueless as to the cultures at schools that don't move underclassmen to varsity? Don't think so. Bottom line, there's no reason for the Catholics to change.
Then why are some publics ranked above them???
Well , The Flyer JV team certainly didn't need any 9th graders to beat that bunch today.
You are truly beyond ridiculous
How'd varsity do against pequa?
They must be doing something right- us lacrosse has them ranked in the top ten in the northeast and nationally

It's not your public school with over bearing parents pressuring the coach to take Johnny Lax's little brother too. If you don't like the rules at Cham step aside, there are 20 more, more than willing, to take that spot.They don't need your "super star" 9th grader, so send him back to where he came from.

Everyone knows the basic rules to Chaminade, so if you don't agree than send your kid to your public school or to St.A ,K-berg, or S.J.B. I grew up in Mineola right across the street from Cham. and every day we would see bus loads of kids from all over going their, not to mention the dozens of kids that would walk to the train station to go either to the city or out east because there school would not bus them, so believe me if you don't like it there is no shortage of people to take a spot.
I think the issue is changing the rules to reflect the changing lacrosse landscape when it comes to lacrosse. Not playing varsity until 11th grade was fine 10 years ago but not fine now. These "rules" should change to reflect the new realities.
It can be argued that playing varsity as a freshman or sophomore means LESS today than ten years ago. There are many more opportunities today to be recruited, given the showcases and prospect days. Most college coaches won't even come to a high school game unless a championship is involved. Sure, it's great for the resume to list "varsity as a freshman", but unless you live in a town with a dominant program it doesn't matter. As well, are coaches clueless as to the cultures at schools that don't move underclassmen to varsity? Don't think so. Bottom line, there's no reason for the Catholics to change.

Chaminade - the Johns Hopkins of High School lacrosse - used to be great
The Dartmouth of hs lax
Oh wait IVY s are not worthy
Oh wait IVY s are not worthy
Coach Moran doesn't care that the JV beat Pequas JV. He's only concerned with the Varsity.
It really is embarrassing for St. A's or Chaminade to ever lose to a public school. It should not happen...Congrats to Massapequa.
Massapequa beat Chaminade for the first time in many years.
St. Anthony's bested Massapequa last week in a scrimmage.

This statement is getting old, not to mention it's just foolish.
Why shouldn't they ever lose to a public? Why do some here degrade competitive public programs in this way?
As we all know, there are some towns where the game is nurtured from a very young age. The "better" athletes gravitate to lacrosse and play together for their entire childhood. Not only do they play PAL together, but they might also have a travel town team. Some may play on different club teams, but they always come back together for town when needed. By the time these players enter middle school, the high school team is already selected and the players are well indoctrinated in the style of play and culture of the high school team before they even get there. Massapequa fits this mold perfectly.
There are 20,000 plus kids living in Massapequa. If the lacrosse machine there plays its cards right it should remain competitive for many years to come.
agreed. that poster needs to get over the unfounded myth that Chammy gets the cream of the crop from the publics.
well put. while some may peel off and decide to attend catholic school for various reasons, it doesn't mean that they are the best of the towns players. that may happen in some cases but ....

Sadly that run is over for some grades in Massapequa,because the coach is a jealous type, and always wants is son to be the best, he chased away the better kids, very sad.
Was at game no kid on either team. Thought it was a good game. Mass came out fast jumped all over them and got some help from refs but looked good. Took a while for Chaminade to wake up. Breaking it down by half I think Chaminade out scored them second half. Someone said Chaminade had only 5 kids that played yesterday with real Varsity experience. If true they will be very good by years end. Who else is on Mass schedule that is worth talking about ??
Can someone explain to me what happened to the Mass player who got carried off ?? Did he knock himself out hitting himself in the head. I watched it on the computer when I got home and no one else touched him.
WISH BOTH TEAMS LUCK THE REST OF THE WAY

Senseless post and kind of weird. No kid on either team and you went to the game and then watched it on the computer? Some help from the refs? So was it a tie if Chaminade scored more goals in the second half? 5 Chami kids with Varisity exeperience? Come on, get real.
Weird, Sounds to me like he may have been there watching a particular player. Recruiter from somehwhere. Player Must have been on Mass because all of the Chaminade kids are committed. Hopefully it is a school with lots of pictures in their text books.

Why is it weird? Maybe he is scouting for his own son, or team. Lots of parents and coaches do it. I know my son's coach was out scouting another team yesterday. And as for the all chaminade kids are committed comment. If I was the coach who committed some of them, I'd be shaking my head. The difference makers were on the other team.

We can take the entire thread down. That will fix the problem.
That's the fate of the boys varsity lacrosse thread if it doesn't change.

Guess it's tough to take after paying that $$$ tuition bill, then seeing public kids winning not only at lax, but getting recruited by better schools. Love it!

If we have to constantly put fires out because of those few bad apples, I will remove the thread. Then after a hiatus, someone who is registered will be able to start a new one, maybe!
If so called adults find it necessary to bash each other, I could care less. Leave the kids out of it and stop sparring with the moderators.
Trust me, we will win out!
Better coaching or paying to make the team please explain.
I am simply pointing out that other kids are smart and good at lax.You Chaminade/ Express guys think your on the planet alone.
No, Chaminade/Express guys don't think they are on a planet alone: Delbarton has a good program too.
You know what is so sad here watching grown men living vicariously through their sons sports. Why is it so hard to believe and understand its not an embarrassment for private school to lose to public school, both have a lot of great athletic kids. Why is it so hard to believe that even though a young man may play lacrosse that their parents are willing to spend for the Chaminade tuition based on their academics and the values instilled learned at Chaminade.
My son plays lacrosse but we chose the school to bring him around other intelligent kids and steer him away spending four years with the types of boys and girls raised by people who put down kids and think lacrosse is everything. When sports are over I want my son to have a great education in the real world and pride for the school he attended and all the classmates. Could not see that happening in public school with the jughead mentality of parents only focused on sports.

Got news for you. All boys surrounded by clergy enclosed in a bubble. Hardly "real world" and will be a more difficult social adjustment to college than a public school.
kudos to Massapequa on a very good win, but please stop comparing Chaminade's lacrosse program to the Public schools. Year after year Chaminade will be among the Nations best "Top 20" where as a public school will have swings from good to very good to great depending on the talent pool. As mentioned in this Thread earlier Ward Melville 2013 National Champion but those seniors graduated and they go 12 and 5 in 2014.

Your comments are exactly why people don't like chaminade, and love to see them fail. Try being humble, And refrain from making disparaging comments without any basis. I guess all the Ivy,Duke,Hopkins,ND etc. Commits from our horrible public schools lack intelligence, have Jugheads for parents, and live only for lacrosse. Pathetic!

You are the reason people get so up in arms about that school...Every comment you make (whether you mean it or not) comes off as you are better than the rest of the population.
There are only intelligent kids at your school and none of them care about lax?
And yet you, who cares nothing for the jughead mentality of publics and lax, are spending time on this site all about lax??? You have your own thread all about your school and lax, sounds like you are closer to Shoreham than you think.
Perhaps, we can all agree on one thing, whether our kids go to public or private, we all want the best for our children. All people tend to be the same in that they all think that whatever choices they made for their kids are the right, and best possible choices. Natural to disagree, isn't it?
Washington and lee in the same sentence with those others? nice try. academics are strong there no doubt, but please don't sneak them in as a powerhouse lax team.
I agree. this poster is someone who wants to be a snob so badly.....

That's true, by all accounts college will not be as challenging academically as HS was for the Chami kids and that has been the concenus for 30 years - ask any alum or recent grad and that's the answer that tou will get
The Washington & Lee reference was in response to a comment that Massapequa players were getting into better schools. Not better lax schools. Are you now going to tell me that Hofstra and Albany are better schools than W&L? Nice to pick out one school out of a multi-school list to (weakly) attack. Proves the point.
Over the winter, a couple parents sponsored clinics for the boys that were trying out for the Chaminade JV team. The JV coaches ran the clinics. I understand that the announcement for the first set of clinics was posted on a school bulletin board. I think the announcement for the second session was emailed to a smaller subset of the boys. This was great for the boys who participated, because the coaches got to know them, and they learned the drills that were going to be used in the tryouts. However, some of the boys did not attend because: 1) they played winter sports; 2) they did not find out about the clinics; or 3) they could not afford the clinics (around $300 total, plus "donations" to the coaches). Two questions:
1) Do parents at other schools do something similar?
2) Are there rules for this type of activity?

Sounds like a nightmare. When you say a few parents "sponsored" these clinics, exactly what does "sponsoring" entail? Can we assume that the boys of the parents who "sponsored" these clinics were all safely on the call back email for the 2nd clinic?
These parents set up the location, dates, coordinated with the coaches, and collected the money. One of these parents also sent the email for the second session, so yes, they were all on the email for the second session.

Selectively choosing kids before tryouts? Paying for play with school coaches? Excluding certain kids? Heavy parental involvement? Are these all part of the special set of morals and values the students at Chaminade are taught? Sounds like a money grab, pay for play, under the table job if you ask me. Ya know, because it's all about academics over there. What nonsense... Clear example of how this school is all about money, politics and privilege. You can keep that dump, this crap just doesn't happen at our highly rated public. Imagine paying to deal with this garbage????

No different than CSH parents organizing out of state events and every Crease Booster Club on LI. Cozy up to coaches so your kid sticks and plays.
It's like this everywhere now. The coaches allow the parents to have heavy involvement because the parents pay the coaches. In my town there are no try outs anymore. The team is picked before the first practice including what underclassman move up. No opportunity to compete for spots or playing time anymore.

If Chaminade is going to allow this BS, then they should allow 9th and 10th graders to play up on Varsity, which is very mild in comparison to paying off the JV coaches. How the JV coaches are ok with opening themselves up to such criticism for a few extra bucks is beyond me. Somebody should alert the school's AD.

Yeah but Chaminade is supposed to be better than everybody else. I guess the flesh is weak on Jericho Turnpike as well.

You people don't understand. It's not that they cant play varsity, its that they are not better than the upper classman. Just because in public school they throw your kid on varsity to keep you happy, they aren't concerned here.

No. They just accept re-classed students. The parents decide their sons will have an opportunity to play if they have their academically sound sons, who were lready accepted the prior January, repeat the 8th grade and reapply to the freshman class one year later.

Your avoiding and trying to deflect the conversation from the issue of the day - indefensible pay for play and exclusionary clinics held by JV coaches.

No. No deflecting. I agree completely that is ridiculous. But everyone knows it when they sign up for Chammy, KBerg and St Anthonys ! Go Express !!
(Freshman still shouldn't be on varsity )

If Chaminade is going to allow this BS, then they should allow 9th and 10th graders to play up on Varsity, which is very mild in comparison to paying off the JV coaches. How the JV coaches are ok with opening themselves up to such criticism for a few extra bucks is beyond me. Somebody should alert the school's AD.
You people don't understand. It's not that they cant play varsity, its that they are not better than the upper classman. Just because in public school they throw your kid on varsity to keep you happy, they aren't concerned here.
Your avoiding and trying to deflect the conversation from the issue of the day - indefensible pay for play and exclusionary clinics held by JV coaches.
No. No deflecting. I agree completely that is ridiculous. But everyone knows it when they sign up for Chammy, KBerg and St Anthonys ! Go Express !!
(Freshman still shouldn't be on varsity )
You can't make a blanket statement that freshmen shouldn't be on Varsity, my son is starting as a freshman, he was the leading scorer during scrimmages and has 6 points in his first two games. If a kid can contribute on Varsity, why should he regress on a JV or Fresh/Soph team because of his age. I thought schools were supposed to be challenge our children in all aspects.

This was great for the boys who participated, because the coaches got to know them, and they learned the drills that were going to be used in the tryouts. However, some of the boys did not attend because: 1) they played winter sports; 2) they did not find out about the clinics; or 3) they could not afford the clinics (around $300 total, plus "donations" to the coaches). Two questions:
1) Do parents at other schools do something similar?
2) Are there rules for this type of activity?

If I can play devils advocate on this issue - should they not have done this because some kids are playing winter sports or can not afford this? they have to collect money because the indoor facility costs money and if a parent did not organize this it would not have gotten done. It is not perfect but bending over backwards to be fair is really catering to the weakest links not the strongest.
the devil would be very proud of you.
I am all for training clinics, but why have the school coaches there?

Great for your son. He is certainly the exception. What top 10 school in the country is he the leading scorer for as a freshman?

The aforementioned schools all have 300-400 boys per grade, if they can't field a team with their 11 and 12 graders that would be very sad
And also to the formentioned schools players,college coaches know full well that even an amazing Junior at St.Ants or Chaminade will wait their respective turn to play as seniors,if there is a good amount of Seniors already in that position...I was told directly by a college coach that they will recruit from the benches of St.Ants or Chammy because the player had to be good just to be considered on such a competetive team. At St.Ant's in fact, there were Varsity cuts this year and about 10 boys know they will never get field time in a game but yet they stay and practice.
Good Luck to all the boys!!!!
Good Luck to all the boys!!!!

IF he has a superstar Freshmen and IF he has a need for another superstar on Varsity, he can move him up. The first "IF" is not that uncommon, it's the second "IF" that is the rarity.
With the large talent pool, the coaches can favor upperclassmen and give them the playing opportunity while keeping a better Freshman player on a team that plays a very competitive schedule. The upperclassman are able to continue playing the sport and the underclassmen stay challenged and competitive.
They do move Freshmen up to JV (did it this year). Now before you start screaming "that's where they play in the public's", I only mention it to point out that it's not chiseled in stone and the coaches make a decision on what is best for the player, team and most of all, the program.
I may not know what I'm talking about as much as others posting on this thread but the systems seem to be working at both schools.
Yean but they are not getting reps which will be important when they go to a d1 school.
lets take a team like Syosset that has 3-4 freshman starters and playing good competition.
I would think the d1 coach would like the season 4 year starter over the 2nd string chaminade player.
Come lets be real chaminade parents

one legit starter and three getting a lot of playing time but that by no way means that they are better then the freshman at Chaminade or would even start or be stars on Chaminade freshman team just that they are very good players and fill a need for their team.....IMHO
Syosset 3 to more freshman starters?

I'm certain the Freshmen are outstanding players, however, would they be starting (or even on Varsity) if there were better upper clansmen? The coach's main objective is to do what's best for the team and program, not get Freshmen committed. If the Freshmen make the team better (and I'm sure they do), then he can accomplish both.
Are there Freshmen at St A's of Cham that would make the Varsity better? I don't know. If the coaches believe so they will be up there.

College coaches will also tel you that they want players with upside and that the kid who's been playing year round lax and nothing else and has 4-5 years of varsity experience might very well have already hit his ceiling...

Whats reprehensible is the exclusionary second call-back by secretive email. Was there a second larger payment for the now "chosen ones" select sub-group who were called back or did the first round of suckers who weren't called back subsidize the subsequent sessions for the chosen ones? Just gross.

Here we go... Yeah they should play football right? Take a look at the top recruits in 2018 from LI, most are lax only. There goes that theory...
Chaminade and St A dont need to move their sophs to varsity because thier JV teams would beat 70% of the Long Island Varsity teams.

More like 20% on a good day!
...the land of no please, thank you, just gimmie, I'll take...I hate going 1 town over there for breakfast food because of that attitude, but it is good--as is their lax team this year...
How many Syosset players are going D1 next year ? How many are at D1 schools now making an impact or even getting playing time ? You make it sound like every freshmen because they get moved up automatically go D1. How many freshmen at Syosset are committed D1 players ?
You really want to compare to Chaminade

nobody is comparing the two schools, both are excellent and both are very different - I would say if Chaminade is trying to compare itself to anyone it should be comparing themselves to Boys Latin and Malverne Prep ect. If the best argument they can make is that they are a little better then a public school then they have lost their way.
Who said we don't care. Of course we care but we also want our kids to have choices of where they will spend the next 4 years. We don't have to jump at the first D1 School that shows a little bit of interest and commit even though your kid knows nothing about the school or what he wants to do in life. Just so you can pat yourself on the back and say my kid is committed. What second thoughts no way he is committed. Coach is gone since my kid committed so what my kid is committed. Dont have the program my son wants to study. No problem he will give that up and be a psychology major he is committed. He is going to make it to the pros play for the Lizards and make $3500 a game and live in my basement. GOOD LUCK WITH THAT.
My kid applied to 12 schools he was (he was interested in) and got accepted to all and 8 of those schools want him to play lacrosse. Yes he applied to a few that don't have D1 programs only club (now). HE has a decision to make and lots of choices. Thank you Chaminade
Go ahead start bashing

When exactly was the last time Syosset boys lacrosse won anything? They are forever a pretender - a lot of blow hard talk but no trophies to back it up. Just an average program at best.
No comparing the worth of sitting on bench for four years as opposite to playing for years and getting the touches

Well said.
One could say that it would be wise to committ to a school that HAS what YOU need rather than committ to a school that NEEDS what YOU have.

Congratulations to your son! No bashing from me, just happy for your kid. I think the bashing generally comes because chammy--like all other schools public or private--have a bell curve when it comes to parents.
Most, like you, want nothing but the best for their kids but of course, chammy has a bunch of nut job parents that tend to think they are better than everyone else...No different in our public school or any other school for that matter.
Again, congratulations to your son, his hard work is commendable.
always fun to see someone respond to themselves!!!
Congrats to your son - I am confused about your rant regarding 9th and 10th grade commits because Chaminade has a lot of them - are you saying it is bad to commit early or that only Chaminade kids/parents that commit early are actually weighing all of the pros and cons to their decision. There are a lot of strong schools on LI and Cham is one of many. I think most people would agree with that statement. The real issue is the arrogance and moral authority that many Chaminade supporters are perceived to exhibit.

You clearly fall on the edges of the bell curve into the nutty parent category.
I am not against an early commit if it is the right fit and not just so a parent can brag to BOTC or Inside Lacrosse. If you really want to break it down an early commit means nothing other than a gentlemen's agreement. Kid still has to finish school get good grades score well on SAT's and not get in any trouble or a coach can rescind the offer at any time. All depending on what school we are talking about. Nothing is done until acceptance letter is received and papers are signed. Then there is the financial side. Except for the very very few who get a pass because of talent (every coach gets a couple of free passes) most are sweating out until the very end
Chaminade dropped out of the top 20 on the rankings. St. Anthony plays number 1 ranked Haverford 4/4 Outcome will be telling.
St. Anthony's also plays #6 Episcopal Academy 4/2

The first three will be great to see how St A. Compares to the top teams. Last two will not be close.
clearly the longer u wait the better chance of making the right decision but u risk losing ur spot to the next kid -many (not all) of the top schools use 10-11 spots on young commits and keep 1-2 spots for misses a year or 2 later - early commits are playing the odds IMO - even older hs players make wrong decisions - calling out young players for committing is taking blame off of the D1 coaches - they have changed the way the game is played and players are responding to the best odds for the the best school they can perhaps attend - if i commit to an ivy and do not get in then i suspect another strong school will be waiting in the wings just not A IVY......

Loss to Chaminade? Now that's the funniest thing I heard all day! Chaminade sGould Thank God they don't play St. A'a schedule, would be super embarrassing
St. As won't win, but definitely in the game with Haveford. Great effort!
What an awesome day at Chaminade! So great to see kids competing hard on both sides, camraderie and class from the coaches and the fans. Truly a great event and a wonderful way for both schools to honor the memory of Jimmy Regan. Fantastic job by both programs!
It was a great day of lax - a rare tripleheader as the freshmen team played Fairfield Prep and JV/Varsity played Manhasset. Great weather, great crowd and a great cause with some great lax talent on display all day.

What was the score of the Manhasset/Chaminade JV game?
10-3 Chaminade
Not only was it a great day for a great cause but DUKE University (Regan attended and graduated from ) also wore the shirts and hats in support during their game against UVA which was on ESPNU.
Unfortuantely Newsday did not feel the need to cover the game in anyway shape or form. Was there a better game with a better cause going on somewhere on LI we did not know about
Not even a box score

Box score is on the coaches to report!! Newsday does not send teams of reporters to HS games. They rely on the coaches for scores, stats and feedback. Certainly a newsworthy cause and event though!

i agree. if there was/is ever a newsworthy sporting event warranting coverage it would be the Reegs Rock game. I isn't to glorify Chaminade or 'Sett. its to honor thru charity event our fallen. doesn't fit newsday political agenda

you guys are taking a shot at Newsday yet I am on this site every day and did not know about the game. I went two years ago when it was at Manhasset but did not know about it this year, If you people with kids that go to Chaminade did not think it was important enough to post something on here how can you expect Newsday to care?

Newsday deserves it. Last I checked, most people do not get their news, even lacrosse, from this site. for the most part it's anonymous, remember.

Newsday is the most biased unscrupulous tabloid we have. just look at today's cover.
They have same news every other publication in the country has!! You might not like it, buts it's news!!
you obviously only read Newsday because that is not true. they might have the same news but it's slanted toward their obvious biases. no thanks. we can get back to Chaminade. that's what we are here for. couldn't resist the jab. check out some other publications. you might be surprised what is actually happening.
Maybe the problem is the "real world". Why shouldn't young men grow up in a principled, ethical, moral environment that makes them good adults. The problem is that people accept the way the "real world" is and rather than having principles, they succumb to the base, immoral thought processes which have adults treating each other and their children so poorly on this site. Someone told me about it...just had to see it to believe it.
Legacy ready to show the Midlantics who the real and soon to be newly annointed #1 team is. Only wish 91 A teams was going to be there as well. Ready to give those teams and the parents a real taste of LI ball.
someone lost? this is the Chaminade thread...begone...
What are you talking about ??

How do you figure that?
Why do they take back seat to better publics?
The Final was 12 to 11 Chaminade..doesnt get much closer than that! Congrats to both teams...Always a battle...Until the next game....

Is Massapequa one of the "better publics?" If so, Chaminade lost by 2 and did not have one of the their best middies (MD commit) and one of their starting d-men (BU commit) - both out injured at the time.

Massapequa was not as close as score.

I'll tell why. Because no one said anything bad about the player. Do you call and complain to Newsday whenever they publish a player's name? No you don't and BOTC is the same as Newsday. Deal with it.

That may be one of the dumbest things I have seen. They play 2 halves - don't they? Winning by 2 is not killing a team. Unless, of course, Pequa emptied the bench in the 2nd half and played only the 3rd and 4th liners - which we all know didn't happen. Not taking anything away from reigning state champ Pequa - they are a great team and should be in the County final again. Just responding to the poster dissing Chaminade - also an excellent team.

I think everyones definition of "any way being attacked" will be different. You are printing a minors name for no resason. Brings no value to conversation.

Too sensitive. Their names are printed in Newsday and on rosters. In no way will we let an attack or anything bad be said. That's how we have decided to handle it. If you want register and contribute and become a moderator if you feel different and we can discuss further. Until then the moderators feel it is OK.

Comparing yourself to newsday doesn't make it OK. Is it OK for people to have opinions different than the "moderators"? Seems like you may be the sensitive one.
Your opinion is fine I was just giving you examples of where else the players names are posted. As moderators we discussed and agreed to leave comments that when a High School players name is mentioned in a positive light why not leave it. A question was asked if a particular player played in the game. Nothing disparaging was said. This is a site for information and lacrosse discussion.
Actually BOTC is better and has better news than Newsday. Everyone knows that what is said there is bogus and totally political. We have the real deal here and if you can't handle it perhaps Newsday is where you belong!!! We won't miss you.

You are correct.
BOTC less biased unlike Newsday.
Newsday is like the all Garden City channel.
All GC......All the time. Full page spreads, full page photos.
Pretty obvious some Newsday exec lives in GC.
This goes for all HS sports, not just lacrosse.
Wow, somebody is jealous of GC

Really? All GC all the time? A very liberal democraticaaly leaning newspaper is a big fan of a conservative, old money town like Garden City? Get a grip amd stop griping. Every year their sports program puts out a very good championship caliber team in most sports. Maybe just maybe they deserve it? Think and discuss this. And no I don't live there.

Just pay attention
Trust me
GC wins a lot...therefore they make the paper. GC loses...they USUALLY win so it makes the paper (upset). It's a NEWS paper, that is wait for it.......NEWS! Get it yet? Understand?

Anyone from GC selling bananas anymore? Did you read about that nutbag?
It is not an upset when you lose every week. They are getting ready for their division play so here comes the wins.
I heard they had a scrimmage against the girls team and lost. Stopped the game at half because the girls were playing to rough. LOL
GC won't be back for a few years

Garden City has an excellent defense. Two of the best defenders in the state. They have also played a very tough schedule. I think by the end of the year they will be in a very good position. The notion of Chaminade JV beating them is far fetched. I know a lot of those kids and they would have a hard time getting a shot off.

Chaminade JV plays depleted public school teams and weak private school teams, ease up on the kool aid. The varsity plays one competitive catholic team and the winner calls themselves CHSAA champs. That's some "system".

1800 boys who have to score exceedingly well on an entrance exam to be admitted. Typically that leads to more computer scientists and chess club members than FOGOs and LSMs.

All the kids to choose from only helps to a certain extent. There are plenty of big public schools who have a lot of good athletic kids to choose from, but the programs are not too strong. Quality program from the AD down to the middle school coaches helps. Public schools lose kids to sta and Cham because those 2 programs are strong but also great coaching. There will be good and bad years but consistent program direction and coaching keeps players coming and staying. Successful programs have coaches that look forward and know what players they have in the pipeline. They also recruit within the school, see a great soccer player and ask the kid to tryout etc.

Sorry to disappoint but nobody choses to go to a private school with athletics as the #1 criteria. That's a parent thing - the kids are thinking about what their entire day will look like. It's all about the well rounded education after which there happen to be a few team sport options after class. Sports are a very minor consideration.

This is a bunch of BS as it relates to Chaminade and lacrosse and you know it. Parents and students alike are choosing the school for the lacrosse pipeline. It's the other way in this case; lacrosse is a major consideration and the well rounded education follows.
Chaminade v St Doms score at halftime was 3-1.
Flyers won 15-2

Actually it was 12-2 not 15-2, as if it makes a difference.
The test is not that difficult. They accept over 400 boys and the process is not very selective. Get over yourself, it's not exactly Regis.

St doms should hang head high. 3-1 at half is well done for school of 550 enrollment (boys and girls). 3-4 goals in second half scored while Dom's serving 1:30 min unreleasable. Chaminade great team. Kudos to them as well.
"The test is not that difficult. They accept over 400 boys and the process is not very selective. Get over yourself, it's not exactly Regis."
Clear from this response that you did not do well on the "not that difficult" test. Chaminade accepts the boys who score the best on the entrance exam. Get over yourself, hater.

Is top 25% really selective to you?
Chaminade is an excellent school. If you look beyond athletics their alumni typically do well in college and their careers. Their lax program is also outstanding. Many kids who attend have played lax yet will probably not make their team since 100 tryout. But if you are a stud on the field and can handle the academics, this place is a great decision. One of my sons will attend and will probably not make the team. No problem, the benefits still outweigh not playing varsity lax.

So
Where is that guy that always is saying chammy JV can beat all (70% if i recall) the public varsity teams. So far this year chammy varsity lost to pequa, WM and barely got by WI... Perhaps chammy JV can beat chammy varsity????
" If you look beyond athletics their alumni typically do well in college and their careers."
So does every kid in the top of their public school, those kids are there already, no school on this planet makes a kid an academic powerhouse . They either got it or they don't.

What is all this Chaminade "snob" nonsense? Kids come from all over with many regular folks making big sacrifices to send their sons there. Go stand at the Mineola train station a D see the hordes of kids busting their butts to commute in fro. Suffolk County. Lots of kids from hard working families in NHP, Seaford, Wantagh, Merrick and other regular towns, to name just a few. Stop acting like every kid in the school gets dropped off in a limo each morning decked out in Vineyard Vines from head to toe.
spot on. "the limo crew" is the minority there. Plenty of Levittown in the house as well. Non discriminatory hard working kids no matter what walk of life...

My apologies to those hardworking and humble kids, which I'm sure there are many. But why the need to brag and insult public programs suggesting Cham JV would beat 70% of Varsity programs?

I am not picking on Chammy or the kids that go there. We stayed public but definitely considered both Chammy and St A-For us, the time my kid would spend on the train just wasn't worth it. So, no disrespect intended.
However, you have one parent (all schools have one just like him/her) who has been insisting from time to time that your JV team can beat 70% of the public's varsity teams. I just wanted to hear him answer the question, can the chammy JV beat the Chammy varsity...Simple enough question and only applies to his opinion. It is not a commentary on the school, the quality of education or the demographic of typical students.
Just want to hear him his enlightened opinion...
well put. my guess is its a parent of some back up on JV

The answer is no they can't. As for the loses "on any given day" but the teams they lost to deserved the wins. There are good teams all over the Island and it is good to see some new names but if you are looking for consistency Chaminade Varsity year in year out with a ridiculous schedule.
I am surprised no one is talking about the Freshmen team at Chaminade. No one has even come close to playing them tough. I think they win by 10 every game even against St Anthony's.

Same goes for WM JV, complete wast of a season. No competition-thought that Northport or WI would put up a fight, but not this year...
WM JV against Chammy JV cancelled a few weeks back due to weather but nor rescheduled...WOuld have like to see that game.

Agreed. I'm a product of public school. my son is considering Chaminade but I'll be fine with whatever he decides. We live closer to St. A's, but that is not even in the discussion.

hello there little man.........you mentioned 2 schools that beat chammy varsity......your sample size and your stature are both very small. Again section 11 has 49 schools.....chammy JV beats 70% of them. That leaves about 15 schools in section 11 that would beat chammy JV. Nassau probably has similar numbers. .......Sorry there little guy...your green eyed envy is showing again. Imsure you dont even represent the 2 schools you mentioned that beat chammy varsity.
Chaminade Sophmores lost to the Juniors 6-0.

This Freshman team might be the best in Chammy history. Unfortunately there is not much competition out there from other schools that actually have a "freshman/JVB" team. Hence, the major, and I mean major blowouts. Chammy will have the best team in the country for the 2017 & 2018 season. Most likely all the players on those teams will be committed to DI schools.

Or are you just another internet tough guy?
Can chammy JV beat chammy varsity?

You clearly don't so why are you on the Chaminade thread?
Look at UnderArmour standings or MSGVarsity standings. Northport is ahead of Chaminade and St. Anthony's. NorthportNo. 4 - Chaminade No. 20. Two best schools on Long Island are public which is Pequa and Syosset. Pay for an education and not a lax ranking.
....and GC loses to Manhasset a team Chaminade beat soundly.

And a hundred kids trying out. Kind of ridiculous. As a former private school graduate, let's hear it for the public schools. This two headed catholic school monster is tiring. But the same parents who don't care about their sons being on the Express B or C team are the same ones content with their sons being third, fourth or fifth string in Mineola or Huntington. It's about the parents being associated with a winning team.

This is a Chaminade page, I'm talking Long Island. The idea that Massapequa, Syosset, Ward Melville and Smithtown East are ahead of Chaminade is hilarious. Did 100 kids try out for those public school varsity and JV teams? Did very good lacrosse players get cut from those public school teams? When two buses show up to play you its ridiculous. They show up with double the number of kids on the sideline than most teams have on their entire roster. Then Moran and Wieczorek pat themselves on the back as they pass the championship trophy back and forth. Two thumbs up for Massapequa and WM beating Chaminade's All Star team.
Both syosset and massapequa beat chaminade!!! So why do you find it hard they are ranked higher!
Syosset did not play Chaminade according to schedule; maybe they scrimmaged each other?
Ward Melville beat Chaminade.
Ward Melville beat Chaminade.
off day for the Flyers. would win 9 out of 10 times

There are 5 or 6 LI public schools that would beat Cham, and another 5 or 6 that would play them to a close game. Highly overrated.
Syosset played chaminade in March on Saturday were it rained all day!!!! It was not scrimmage they had refs and game officials.
It was a scrimmage. JVA beat Syosset Jv at cantiague. The amount of bad information on theses forums is ponderous, just ponderous.

Perhaps they shouldn't cut kids and arrive at away games on 3 buses. 85 kids on the sideline. Then maybe they could be the best team on LI. LOL. I have an idea. Let's put Massapequa on one bus and Farmingdale on another. We will call them Farmapequa. Let's see how Chaminade and St Anthonys do. Oh and let's put the Smithtown schools back together too. So tired of hearing about these private schools where parents brag that their kids go to Chaminade and are third string. Choosing the best 10 out of 100 is not hard. Let's see them put the best 10 out of 30 on the field. Then they might have to coach alittle.

Keep patting yourself on the back. With all you parents wanting your kids on a "winner" regardless if they will ever play, soon there will be a JVA, B, C, D and E. (You know like the Express) LOL
But so you don't feel bad that your kid is on the D team , we will name them the Chammy Crimson, Chammy Bulldogs, Chammy Bears, Chammy Tigers and Chammy Big Red LOL!!!!!
JVB= freshmen
JVA= sophomores
Varsity= juniors and seniors
It's not complicated.

We'll show how your information is wrong. The JV teams played in the morning. Then in the afternoon syosset, chaminade played at cantiague in the rain and syosset beat the varsity team.

How many other schools on the island mix schools?
Imagine if Smithtown Sachem s all blended into one. I can hear the crying that little johnny didn't play because
.just have to beat 3 more teams and get another state championship!!!! we are soooooo awesome.

You must have not been there the day that the Syosset Varsity played the Chaminade Varsity at Cantiague Park in March or else you wouldn't have made this comment . It was an embarrassment , looked like Syosset was playing a Chaminade freshman team ,
They couldn't even compete. We know , we know , it's was a scrimmage , Chaminade was missing best players etc etc. So was Syosset. Early season injuries hadn't returned yet so the excuses don't work.
Don't want to hit below the belt but don't continue to brag and make false statements or else people will come back at your team with the truth
Chaminade has a consistently strong program because they stick with their system year in and year out. Freshman team, JV Team, Juniors and Seniors on Varsity. That said, I have seen many of their players over the years come up through the ranks of the town and club teams and their is nothing special or extraordinary about their talent pool. I just think they have an excellent coach and system and it gets the most out of what I would classify are good players. Same for St. Anthony's.
There are plenty of strong schools in the public system. However the consistency is not as great as the year in and year out talent ebbs and flows.
I would like to see Chaminade or St. Anthony's play the winner of Section 8 and Section 11 in some kind of annual All Island Championship.

They would never do it! To risky for their reputation which revolves around a lot of smoke and mirrors.
Chammy already lost to Pequa and Syosset (scrimmage or not) and WM...They barely got by WI. How many bites at the apple should they get?

You are putting down public schools and obviously think Chaminade is great but you don't know the differecne between "your" and "you're" and is "Public" a proper noun that should be capitalized? People who live in glass houses....

Would pay for a real game against Syosset. That "SCRIMMAGE" played when Chaminade was still making cuts and kids were being evaluated. Also did not have starting defensemen or 1st line middie playing. Also Chaminade did not practice for 3 months prior with their Coaches which by the way is against the rules but who's watching.

Really. I can honestly say that is the most pathetic comeback that is used on this board. The use of you're and your in a grammatically incorrect way is not the issue you have. I can see your inability to come up with a more viable argument shows your feeble mindedness. Your lack of education is evident.

Except that the "P" in Public was capitalized...perhaps it is difficult to see that when you're being the grammar/spelling police.

Syosset would love another win against Chaminade this year . If you're as obsessed as you sound in tracking what Syosset does then you would know that during that scrimmage we were playing without our top attack goal scorer due to a preseason injury as well as our top middie and many starting defenseman that are still out of commission but we play with what we have and don't make excuses because what you have that day is your team . No excuses . Each team you go against is in the same boat with missing players due to injuries etc so you can't keep falling back on that excuse when you lose . Syo beat garden city this year too , schools have off seasons . Chaminade seems to be this year also , no excuses, no shame . We all go through it . Next year it will be someone else's turn . You never know
Either way would love another chance to bring it on at this point of the season , I believe chaminades head would spin
It's a good thing they play the games on the field because there is entirely way too much energy being expanded on this thread! Good luck in the playoffs....you guys are just way too over the top.
All grammar aside I think its pathetic that either Chaminade or St Anthonys isn't the #1 ranked team on LI. How many public school teams have 100 quality kids going out for the team? And another 100 on JV? And if the number of kids didn't matter there wouldn't be A, B and C Divisions in public school lacrosse. Chaminade and St Anthonys coaches benefit from picking from a huge pot. Overrated.

And don't forget the quality parents!
Massapequa has 1 team for varsity. 1 team for freshman and 1 team for JV. The freshman team is labeled JVB. No second and third teams in this town. No money in the budget for them!

The misguided idea that Cham or Anthony's should never lose to a public school is not only ignorant but shows utter disrespect to public schools who put together amazing classes. The fact of the matter is that there are simply years that schools like Ward Melville, Darien, Garden City, etc. field amazing teams. Two years ago, Chaminade fielded one of the most talented high school teams I ever saw (Zenker, Fowler, Dunne, Lukacovic, Muller, Cerrone, Bonafede, Carrigan, Clarke, etc,) and still lost to a public school: Yorktown. It happens. Some days teams are just flat. That is why you play the game on the field, not on paper or based on Div 1 commits.

Don't forget one key fact. All of these kids live in Massapequa. How about only Mineola kids fill out the Chaminade roster? LOL That would be fun to watch :-P

You act like Chamunade has their pick of every good player on LI a d that is wrong. Not every kid can get in academically (and others is getting harder every year). You ha e to be a baptized Catholic and you have to be willing to part with $9,0000 a year for tuition. Add to that the fact that many good players come from families that just believe in public school, don't wa t their sons in an all boys school or maybe feel the commute is too far. To me it is amazing that Chaminade does as well as it does year after year and certainly the picture is more complex than you state.
Where are you getting these numbers ? From freshmen year on the number dwindles dramatically. 56 kids tried out for Varsity 44 on team including 4 goalies. Garden City, Manhasset, had just as many. In addition after freshmen year many return to their public school for many reasons. Work load one but lack of playing time when they could be a super star on their public school team is big reason. Before you read the next line I am in no way comparing the 2. Just like parents think their kids are D1 material they think they are going to make and star on Chaminades team and it does not happen. You have freshmen coaches looking at many kids they know nothing about (maybe a few they are aware of) and picking a team on 8 practices. Some slip by and never get a chance it happens. Not every great player on LI (who wants to go to Chaminade) gets in. That is why NCC is so good year after year and the so called lower teir D1 schools are so competitive. LOVE THE FACT THAT SO MANY SCHOOLS ON LI ARE AS GOOD AS THEY ARE WETHER PUBLIC OR PRIVATE. JUST SIT BACK ENJOY THE GAME.

Based on your logic, the Ivies would never be competitive. Yet Yale, Princeton, Brown and Cornell are highly competitive. Chaminade has 500 plus boys per grade. From a lacrosse perspective, based on your statements, those kids decided to go to Chaminade for lacrosse first. With that much talent, and so many boys to choose from, it would seem almost impossible that they would lose to a public school that has 100+ boys per grade. How many boys in these public schools are actually even still playing lacrosse in 9-12 grade, 10-15 per grade max? You talk about GC and Set having the same number of kids, difference is 10 of those kids are 9th an 10th graders. Think about it.

You act like Chamunade has their pick of every good player on LI a d that is wrong. Not every kid can get in academically (and others is getting harder every year). You ha e to be a baptized Catholic and you have to be willing to part with $9,0000 a year for tuition. Add to that the fact that many good players come from families that just believe in public school, don't wa t their sons in an all boys school or maybe feel the commute is too far. To me it is amazing that Chaminade does as well as it does year after year and certainly the picture is more complex than you state.
You do not have to be baptized catholic to go to Chaminade. I went, am baptized Eastern Orthodox... end of story. Just want that absolute fact to be out there. Do they prefer RC, sure but I can't tell you how many people say to me in conversation that I couldn't have attended because "you have to be Catholic".
Chaminade freshmen made it a sweep over St. A's. Won the 3rd game 12-5 - clearly the most competitive of the 3. Varsity and JV play 2nd game tomorrow.
First off there are not 500 boys per grade . Again where are you getting your numbers from. Many don't even play sports. The Ives are selective and find the good ones with brains. Are they always competitive no. Brown came around this year but Penn dropped off. Tough to get many kids accepted. Look at who is in playoffs this week and lets see how they do.

Amazed that Chaminade does as well as it does? What are you smoking? Name another school that has that many kids trying out for both varsity and JV (besides St Anthonys). Its not about total school enrollment. That only matters when you can only take kids from the same town. There are kids taking an hour train ride from Suffolk County, not only to be students, but play lacrosse. Wake up. They can pull from every town and promise playing time to those that part with even more $$ to the Express. You think politics don't play a role in who plays and makes the team, as the coaches line their pockets? Only in America.

You don't know what you are talking about....but probably will never be convinced otherwise. Love the haters who come on this thread to spew the same bogus talking points.
SO now that the freshmen lacrosse season is coming to an end. Which players that didn't see the field will leave Chaminade?

Talking points LOL
1) They don't have the most kids trying out for varsity and JV?
2) Kids don't take trains from Suffolk?
3) No tie in with the Express?
4) No politics ever played in making the teams?
5) Coaches haven't lined their pockets?
Nope, not convinced. Especially by you!
Talking points LOL
1) They don't have the most kids trying out for varsity and JV? And you are basing this on what data source?
2) Kids don't take trains from Suffolk? Of course they do. That was not the point. Instead the point was Chaminade doesn't pull from EVERY town as you suggest. Some kids will commute from Suffolk but others will not. Many kids are great players who either can't get in or get in and can't stay in. That right there is a major filter you are unwilling to acknowledge. And I am not even getting to the tuition as a barrier or the faith based education not being for everyone. The point is their pool is not every lacrosse player on LI as you seem to suggest.
3) No tie in with the Express? Their Varsity coach is a partner in Express. So what? Look at the lineup. They gave #19 (most honored number in memory of a fallen alumnus) to a kid who runs their offense and plays fl$....not Express. They're stud starting defender? Also fl$. And they have had plenty from 91, Outlaws and others in their starting line-ups over the past few years from the Freshman team right up through Varsity. Fact. So stop the garbage insinuations that only Express players get on the field or the whole enterprise is corrupt and designed solely to "line the pcokets" of the directors. Frankly, that is libelous and if you want to make that statement try signing your name to it.
4) No politics ever played in making the teams? More hearsay nonsense. Can I rule out some form of politics at Chaminade? No I cannot. But I have put kids through both Chaminade and the public school and the politics in the public are far and away worse. You are delusional if you think parents aren't politicing, running fundraisers, working the phones, etc. to help their kids get on public varsity teams
5) Coaches haven't lined their pockets? Again, sign your name before you make such a derogatory claim against people running a top program like Chaminade for decades. There are stories upon stories of the good the coaches there have done. To say it is all about "lining their pockets" just exposes you for the small-minded, person with an axe to grind that you are.
Nope, not convinced. Especially by you!
Forgive me if I don't find your arguments terribly persuasive.

My son plays Express and does NOT go to Charminarde. I can’t speak to what does or doesn’t go on there! I can tell you that Jack is his coach and I wouldn’t want him to be coached by anybody else. He coaches him like he is his own son and teaches him how to be a man. He has done a lot for us with regards to recruiting and we DON’T go to his school. There should be more coaches like this in all sports today. It is interesting that people will write about others anonymously. They say I heard this and that? Please remember that you should believe nothing of what you here and only half of what you see. It’s all about your experiences.

....and the irony is that in your rabid desire to impugn the program you have constructed a great page of crimson and gold Chaminade colors which just either evidences how little you know about the school.

3) No tie in with the Express? Their Varsity coach is a partner in Express. So what? Look at the lineup. They gave #19 (most honored number in memory of a fallen alumnus) to a kid who runs their offense and plays fl$....not Express. They're stud starting defender? Also fl$. And they have had plenty from 91, Outlaws and others in their starting line-ups over the past few years from the Freshman team right up through Varsity. Fact. So stop the garbage insinuations that only Express players get on the field or the whole enterprise is corrupt and designed solely to "line the pcokets" of the directors. Frankly, that is libelous and if you want to make that statement try signing your name to it. Stop with the dramatics, its true. I know of quality kids from "unfavorable travel teams" that were cut. You want to name some starters on the field? I am talking about who makes the team and who was cut. I've spoken with their parents. Its a disgrace.
4) No politics ever played in making the teams? More hearsay nonsense. Can I rule out some form of politics at Chaminade? No I cannot. But I have put kids through both Chaminade and the public school and the politics in the public are far and away worse. You are delusional if you think parents aren't politicing, running fundraisers, working the phones, etc. to help their kids get on public varsity teams Glad you agree
5) Coaches haven't lined their pockets? Again, sign your name before you make such a derogatory claim against people running a top program like Chaminade for decades. There are stories upon stories of the good the coaches there have done. To say it is all about "lining their pockets" just exposes you for the small-minded, person with an axe to grind that you are. Why is it derogatory to say they have lined their pockets? They aren't politicians. No law against it. You have any idea of the revenues the Express generate. You are the one that thinks to say it is a bad thing. I'm just stating the obvious. MC at St Anthonys laughs all the way to the bank.
Nope, not convinced. Especially by you! And your persuasiveness is pretty suspect as well. I state facts. You state how you'd like things to be.
Forgive me if I don't find your arguments terribly persuasive.
My son plays Express and does NOT go to Charminarde. I can’t speak to what does or doesn’t go on there! I can tell you that Jack is his coach and I wouldn’t want him to be coached by anybody else. He coaches him like he is his own son and teaches him how to be a man. He has done a lot for us with regards to recruiting and we DON’T go to his school. There should be more coaches like this in all sports today. It is interesting that people will write about others anonymously. They say I heard this and that? Please remember that you should believe nothing of what you here and only half of what you see. It’s all about your experiences.
Nothing against Jack. The original argument was that Chaminade and St Anthonys should be 1 or 2 on LI with the pool of kids they choose from. The Express connection only strengthens my contention. Are there politics everywhere? Absolutely. And would the Chaminade and St Anthonys coaches want more competition from within the catholic league? Absolutely not. This way they can travel all over the area, play teams like Darien, Greenwich, Delbarton, Yorktown, Massapequa, Ward Melville, and no matter the result, have a 50% chance of winning the Catholic AAA championship every year.
state champion runner up. pretty darn good!!!
Great game yesterday against St. Anthony's. Score was much more reflective of this game than the first. Saw at least 20 coaches in the stands.
Now you're a mind reader and you know that the Chaminade and St. Anthony's coaches don't want any other Catholic High School teams to play at their level. Please let me know what else these coaches have told you, of course, you know because you are a mind reader!
Why don't you enjoy the playoffs and write a book in your spare time.

So then why don't they bring the other Catholic schools into the Express fold? Or could it be they don't want to divide the pie up into anymore pieces? Best of both worlds. $$ and Championships!!
I have been around this school a long time. I have relationships with a fair number of their admin. and coaches (not Really with Jack beyond he would recognize me as an active guy at the school). Here are some of my views.
A. More competition from the rest of the CHSAA would be welcomed, but they realize if a kid is a stud lax player and is inclined to go Catholic they aren't going to go to a school not named Chaminade or St. Anthony's. They aren't afraid of the competition and it would only help national rankings.
B. Express is certainly an important tool for both CHSAA big boys. Both schools have an early look at youngsters, and conversely kids and parents get to see both schools coaches up close. This familiarity must, coupled with public v private, shape the decisions. If you want to call this recruiting I think that's a reach.
C. Is playing Exress a prerequisite to playing time. Nonsense. Yeah, the Express kids have relationships that may give them a head start but as more programs develop history has shown plenty of non_Express kids have been impact players.
D. Do these coaches play politics? I think it is more that they sometimes fall in love with kids, spotting potential, and may stay with them perhaps to the detriment of some other kids playing time. Sometimes they are right, and sometimes the potential isn't reached.
E. The fact that kids take trains from Suffolk is irrelevant. The choice to take a train to go to the school you want to isn't the kid's/parent's call. As a Chaminade guy the only thing that tells me is St. a's should question why? Not many kids from Nassau going the other way.
Yeah I know, that was uncalled for. Hahahaha

wow that's a change. normally people are saying that Kellenberg is in the fold because of Director MS. A number of St Dom's kids play Express as well. If you think these 2 coaches don't want a stronger catholic league you couldn't be more wrong. In fact they are around at tournaments all summer and are recognizable. Why don't you walk up and ask them. They went to playing more non - league games exactly because they recognized that the league was getting weaker as a whole and wanted to keep helping their kids be challenged and grow as players. If you think its anything else you then you don't know either of these 2 coaches at all

Getting to Chaminade is a lot easier than getting to St. A's no matter which county you live in, unless you have a car and can drive.

Look at the standings, St Johns is probably closest to being competitive, but they don't get nearly the number of kids to truly threaten. I did hear that they brought in some new coaches. As a former St Anthony's grad, I liked when Trinity and SJB could win every so often. This put two teams in the championship before the season starts is lamentable. Go Friars.

That's actually the problem. They play the express kids at the other schools because of helmets. Most times they are the B and C players. The A players play at chamniade or st Anthony's or stay at public.

Agree the poster knows damn well who won jv game. Hope the backups played

Was a very good game played by both teams with D1 coaches in attendance. Chaminade was victorious on that given day. Best of luck to both teams and all the players involved.
There you go. Nice compliment on well played game then the D1 coaches in attendance mention. Really who cares?!

You clearly don't so why are you lurking on the Chaminade thread?
Not lurking in fact I'm a huge Flyer fan. My point is that people ,
who dwell on D1 coaches watching jv games are hurting the sport. If you think that that's relevant you are just parroting what others say.
Just don't get what that has to do with game.

Don't think anyone is lurking, there will be triple that amount of coaches at the county championships and Suffolk /Nassau games, unfortunately privates are not eligible for those!
Haha... I was sincerely just looking to hear the score. No bragging nothing. Chaminade Lax Alum and just wanted to know the outcome of the game. This is a Chaminade thread, correct? The JV Chaminade Coach was the most influential teacher/coach I had there.
The Lacrosse world has gone mad and the people in it are not so cool anymore! Lol....

All those D1 coaches offering a little piece of 12.9 scholarships. Spread out among 30 student athletes. D1 lacrosse is a 50 hour week, before classes start. Sounds like fun.
you are 100% correct. d1 is full time job. carefull what you wish for.

This is a lacrosse site. Many kids want that challenge. Many kids competing for those spots. Why is that a bad thing?
It's not a bad thing. But remember D1 coaches loyalty lies with their paycheck. Not your kid. The kids get used up and spit out when their usefulness runs out.

St Anthony's should have no excuse for not winning every year. At least you need grades to get into Chaminade 8-)
Chaminade won ? But Mike Quick Mr know it all said Chaminade had no chance of winning and he was going to crown St Anthonys #1 team on LI because he is saying Mass will lose upstate.
He picked all 3 games wrong this season

hows Chammy Jv squad? the rising sophs gonna put /keep them back at the top next year (varsity)?
The sophs had an excellent team this year. Tangredi (Harvard commit) and Chmil (Duke commit) are excellent players. However, it is always difficult to tell how sophs will translate on the varsity level. At many schools, public and private, top 10th graders get moved up to varsity. As a result, Chaminade sophs often do not get tested against a very good schedule. This past year, not too many juniors made large contributions on the offensive side of the ball. Next year's varsity squad will need some offensive help.
will they cut the seniors ?

They are a very good group of players, very deep team. There are currently 8 starters that have a verbal to D1 schools.
How can Moran sit back and allow Under Armour to leave off Chaminade players. Isn't he the coach of the U18 team so he knows the people at Under Armour. What a joke

Agree. Cham. Had some great senior talent this year. Very surprised at this. Does anyone know who is on this committee? Maybe putting (7) Chamm players on last years underclass team was a bit much? input?

You don't need grades, you need to pass a simple test and Cham has 450 boys per grade to select from.
"You don't need grades, you need to pass a simple test and Cham has 450 boys per grade to select from."
There is no passing or failing the test. Generally speaking, you need to get one of the top scores on a test taken by hundreds and hundreds of boys in order to get into the school.
In recent years, I know eight boys who left Chaminade or Anthony's after their freshman year because of lack of playing time. Every single player who left made varsity at their public high school as sophs and received substantial playing time.

They accept to 15-20%.
Not a "simple" exam.
some students leave Cham (were asked to leave/expelled) not for lack of PT but because of discipline issues.
Lastly, one student left public joined St A for better spot.
that is not the case for Cham.
slight change to subject if I may....why is it that teams like ST DOM'S, OR IONA PREP (are they legit?)(AA) plays in a state tournament while Chaminade cant play anyone but Ants each year and its over?
no way anyone should be declaring themselves state champs if they essentially have 2 league games and a 3rd go round vs Ants .

You sure about your math? If they only accept 20% and there are 500 boys per grade are you saying that 2500 boys apply each year? Seems high

They accept to 15-20%.
Not a "simple" exam.
some students leave Cham (were asked to leave/expelled) not for lack of PT but because of discipline issues.
Lastly, one student left public joined St A for better spot.
that is not the case for Cham.
You sure about your math? If they only accept 20% and there are 500 boys per grade are you saying that 2500 boys apply each year? Seems high
Yep. That's correct.
They have up 4000 boys signup and take the test, that is for all the Catholics
Why do you people constantly have to say how great Chaminade is academically? If it was so great you wouldn't need to constantly promote it, let it stand on its own laurels if its so great.
it will be explained when you work for a chaminade grad someday...

Considering the publics have to educate the masses, can't kick anyone out for poor grades, the overall difference in scores, is not too impressive at all. In fact kind of surprising they were what they were.

The Verizon tech that came to my house was a Chaminade grad. How do I know? He commented on the lax goal and wall on my front lawn and offered that he played lacrosse at Chaminade. Asked where my kids go.

Apples and organges.....Regis is clearly better academically but is much smaller, in NYC and has very little in the way of sports (no lax or football). There have been kids who got into Regis but opted for Chaminade because they wanted to play sports and didn't want to commute to the Upper East Side every day. But, you are 100% right....Regis is stronger academically than Chaminade.

Great, another great school!
Instead of complaining/bashing on a Chaminade thread, why not start a new thread on how excellent your education system is and how beneficial it is to your children.
Be thankful for the publics helping the "masses" become employable and good citizens. That's what you and I are paying for. The fact that we made a decision to send our kids to Catholic school, means that more of MY tax dollars are spent on public school kids (not mine). This is still good for my community.
I live in an excellent school district and my kids and I still wanted the Chaminade experience. There are however some great students in our home High School.
It is simple, the top 20% students at any school can compete with those at any other school.
The only tidbit to understand is: yes, the pool of students at Chaminade is the top 20% of the boys that took the entrance exam. This is a good indicator of their ability to succeed there.
In almost all cases faith will be a driving factor. Not everyone accepted will choose to go. Some won't like the structure, discipline, or the work load and will leave. Some will struggle. It is a college preparatory school. 398/399 went to college last September.
If the Chaminade deal is not for you or your kid (for whatever reason), that is fine. If the public deal is not for the rest of us, that should be fine too.
Let it go, dude!

And it is FREE!
sounds to me like somebody didn't get into Chaminade and is a little bitter.
I was saying to a Chammi grad (who did not like his experience) that I was generally impressed by most of the grads I had met in college, through work, or where I live and their general success. He replied, "you'be been through 3 layers of screens--ivy, wall st, an expensive town, I'll show you the other 300 grads from class you are toiling on the other side of the tracks." The individual will determine his or her success, not the institution. Pros and cons to good public, private or catholic educations. Have a great weekend.

Nonsense, I've know a few and they are all very successful.

I actually think the economic diversity within the Chaminade student body and alumni is healthy and nothing to be ashamed about. Yes, you have sons of hedge fund managers going to school with sons of sanitation workers. And yes, many graduates opt not for Wall St but rather to run their own small business, join the military, law enforcement, etc. Believe me, most kids there are not targeting Ivy League schools (which hate conservative Chaminade) and many are more interested in SUNY schools because they don't have money to burn. Sorry, but I don't see that as a bad thing. It is a very good high school populated by all walks of people. Those who constantly come on here and suggest it is a fancy pants, rich boy school don't know what they are talking about.
Yes Chaminade is made up of kids from all over and parents from all different occupations and economic makeups. But isn't about giving your child a shot at a better chance than what you had if possible. A Dad that has worked in the trenches all his life is not saying hey son I want you to have to do what I did for 35 years. You always want better and Chaminade is one of those chances.

Your comment seems to indicate that is not a worthwhile career While chaminade has its fair share of white collar professionals and acdemics; it also has a fair share of blue collar guys, FDNY, NYPD, service men, et al. While I"m at it, Cham has war heros, medal of honor winners too.
That would be funny if you chose to passive aggressively throw a jab at a Verizon guy, because we can then go down the road of all the elite top 10 collegiate lax grads that are working at sports hub or giving lax lessons to tiny tots.
By the way, I'm gonna bet that the chaminad grad leaves you a nice tip every time you wash his car.

Yes. This only happens at Chaminade. Doesn't happen anywhere else including public schools. Must be the snobby Cham dads with their bright red attire that the public school guys like so much.

Only reason you would take the comment as disparaging is if you felt it wasn't a worthy profession. No one should ever judge a person by the honest profession they choose.
The comment was in response to the hubris expressed by some here who think that Chaminade is the ticket to "master of the universe" status. Disparaging are those who say that a Chaminade education is superior to a public one.
Success is defined in many different ways. Thankfully, we live in a country that provides the opportunity for hard working and smart people to achieve economic success, no matter who they are or where they graduated from.
How about some lacrosse talk?

I'm not saying that politics aren't a factor but I now first hand that the "right" club team does not guarantee you a spot on team and the "wrong" club team does not exclude you.
I heard the Chaminade seniors are at the Mineola LIRR station every morning, ready to shine the shoes of the Regis freshman making their way into Manhattan. It's tradition!
Why do you entertain such ridiculous posts? Is that really a lacrosse related post? What has happened to be civil?
That was funny... and I am a Cham Grad and have 2 sons there.

And when the Regis guys get in to Penn, they set up their own shine box to take care of the Exeter lax guys.

I heard that Pomps was terminated yesterday. Is that true?
Unfortunately it is true. He resigned from Coaching all sports. With todays technology you have to watch yourself at all times. The guy wears his heart on his sleeve and gives 100% all the time. Anyone who has coached for a long time knows every once in a while you get caught up when you feel others don't care as much as you do or don't put in the effort that you do and you express yourself. Every coach has yelled screamed at a player especially if you have coached for 30 years. He didn't single out one kid he was addressing the team as a whole which we have all done from time to time. Some kid decided to record that moment and turn it over to school officials. Not saying what he did was right but 30 years of helping kids become better people and because of an outburst right after a game he is forced to resign. The kid that taped it was probably one of the ones that he was talking about and doesnt care and was more concerned with his phone. I hope he is happy at the outcome.

The kid who taped it, and then sent it to all the kids on the team, was not a player. One of those kids probably showed Mum & Father, and they complained to the Bubble Bath Authorities. Sad because he was a good guy.
He is a great Coach on and off the field.
The boy who taped was cut from the team but is the team trainer.

Pomps is a GREAT guy. He is a fiery coach and he truly cares about the kids. It is a shame that after 30 years at Chaminade, one event like this can take down a really good coach and an even better person. This is another example of the "pussification" of America and having to deal with helicopter parents and entitled kids who are never told know and don;t know what failure is.
Boo-hoo. Cops lose their jobs over what this guy did. He still keeps his......that's the real joke
Plain and simple. All alumni and more importantly all the interested DONORS should back this coach up. HE IS A GREAT GUY/coach.
It seems all too often the self important meddling parents of kids who get out performed are the ones calling the shots. It's an epidemic that needs to stop.
It's time to get involved and put your MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS. STOP DONATING IF THIS MISTAKE ISNT REVERSED.
Get involved fellow alumni and let the Brothers know the difference between right and wrong.
They obviously lost their way.

I am a StA lax dad (from 2 years ago), Pomps is a GREAT guy and awesome coach. Not often Chaminade & SA lax folks can agree but as for as Pomps goes he is class "A" all the way. Our society is just SOFT. Sad.
Perfectly said. Hope the huge parents club get involved.
As an Alumni of Chaminade and former player of lacrosse and football under coach Pomps I'm very disappointed in the current "Chaminade Man". For 4 years I heard from teachers and administrators about the virtues that make up the "Chaminade Man' and I'm certain Forgiveness was one of them.
what did he say? would love details.

Para-phrasing of course...but he called the team out after giving up two touchdowns in the last 3 minutes of the game to lose by 1. Did he use some 4 and 5 letter words...yes. Did he question the teams mettle....yes. He also sat a bunch of starters on Monday for the second string. possibly for a wake up call. But surprise surprise, after Pomp was let go on Wednesday, the starters were back on the first team. TROUBLE IN THE TUB!
Sorry but this is all from those daddys and mommy's who never played sports. Being tough on kids and calling them out is no reason to be let go. I wish I could use the inflection of my voice to get my point across. You parents need to let your kids get coached. It's [lacrosse] plain and simple. Uncoachable kids become unemployable adults, let your kids get use to someone being tough on them.
the kid who recorded it wasn't the one who sent it in...no ones is certain who really sent it to the school.
Chaminade kids are soft and weak. The coach called them out for it. Hate to see these kids in real life situations. They need to toughen up, or join the chess club. Oh, they would probably get the same flack there. This country needs to stop this political correct nonsense and tell it like it is. #fedup

First things first you cant call the kids soft and weak based on the fact that they go to Chaminade. Kids in general are a bit softer these days regardless of where they go to school because they are so damm pampered. I think the coach just got fed up with the bs of accepting a loss and laughing and joking on the bus. If you are there just to play and don't take losses seriously especially if you lose by 1 point when the other team scores 2 touchdowns to beat you maybe you need a little bit of a wake up call. These are not little kids.
His mommy did
I have heard the audio. And I have no skin in this game other than I have been told that he is a good man and a passionate coach that has dedicated himself to Chaminade.
There was nothing that he said to group of young men who are sophomores in high school that justifies his being removed as a coach. Quite frankly, it could have been me, or any of us, laying into our own kids for poor performance or poor behavior. What a disgrace.

I have a child in chaminade and it concerns me how the brothers feel sending a message to our children that so many great things about this coach could be taken away with one episode that one parent didn't like. I think they should expel the boy bring on his phone at the time.
Chaminade has just given all control over to the parents. Squeaky wheel gets the most oil.
can someone please post the audio or video? I am sure that coach is getting a raw deal, but I think it's important we all judge for ourselves before making up our minds definitively. thanks.

You are too nosy!.... let it go!
Exactly what these situations do NOT need is to fan the flames and have the social media aspect of it continue to be perpetuated and passed around.

nosy? yeah, lets just sweep it under the rug. isn't it illegal in NY to tape someone without their knowledge? it wouldn't hold up in court. 30 years of coaching should be granted more consideration than it appears was given. one thing is for sure, kids are softer today and the sooner they realize mommy can't always bail them out the better. cursing shouldn't happen but what about forgiveness. isn't that what the Catholic religion is all about? seems like there is more to the story. you may be satisfied but I'm not.
hey, call Newsday too..I am sure they would love to start an investigation of a Catholic institution...that's what they do best...News 12 would have interest I am sure as well...

What does court have to do with it? If an employer doesn't like and employees actions or conduct they can fire an employee regardless whether the employee violated the law or not.
I wouldn't want any further posting of a video that an immature kid passed around. I support Coach Pomps with or without hearing it. The bottom line is the kids were wrong to record and then further pass around. The parents were wrong to run and complain and lastly respectfully the brothers were wrong to cave into the parents pressure.
No benefit to a man who has been coaching 36 years whom so many respect to having any further posting of the video. So sad the world has changed forever with social media running/ruining lives.

you are right but it doesn't mean they were right.
But it is okay to berate young boys for losing a game? Not saying maybe the coach didn't get a bad deal but it should never be ok to verbally assault a minor because they didn't win! Step back for just a minute. It was just a game.

no one said its ok. People do get to their breaking point. You obviously have never been a coach. Its very similar to being a parent. We make mistakes. The point is does it warrant firing or is this more to appease the parents.
so you contend that coaches laying into players for lousy performance after games is now called verbal assault? are you serious?

They did not get yelled at because they lost. They got yelled at for how they acted on the bus after losing.
No but I am a parent. If your son came over to my house to hang with my son and I was screaming and swearing at your son, I'm guessing you wouldn't be dropping off your son again anytime soon. Everyone has their moments. There is also self control.
I'll ask you this---does it also mean that the coaches that hit their players and throw things at them when they don't perform thats ok too--- because he's a coach and it was in the heat of the moment. Not being a jerk. Asking the question. Where do you draw the line?

So I ask you? In what other facet of these young men's lives, is it acceptable for an Adult in a position of authority to behave this way towards them? Other than a coach, who would you allow to talk this way to your son? The brothers at his school? The teachers? His boss at a part time job? A stranger? Come on man, it's a GAME... A meaningless game that many kids are trying to play for FUN. It's not D1 football or the NFL. Good lord, put it in perspective. Obviously, the Administration at the school has their collective heads on straight. Is the Coach of the Math team, Debate team, or any other team that might actually get these kids somewhere in life allowed to speak that way? No. Would you allow your wife's Boss to speak to her that way? No. Yet for some reason, you mental patients think it's "OK" for the Football Coach to speak that way to your kid. Again, about a GAME...

Again, Pomps was addressing the team as a whole--not any particular player. What occasioned the outburst was the team's behavior on the bus after a loss that could have been avoided. Posting the incident on social media for others (who likely have no standing) to judge will not help the situation nor is it the right thing to do. But to intimate that what happened was verbal assault is irresponsible.

So you didn't play sports? Everyone needs to toughen up. I think everyone would be upset if their kids acted like they did on the bus as well.

What world do you live in? In the business world people use expletives all the time. Is it a terminable offense? Obviously not. And if what Pomps did rose to that level, the administration "with its head on "straight"" would have had to remove his teaching responsibilities as well, which they didn't. So now, we are talking about the use of a few curse words to a group of 15 and 16 y/o kids (NOT LITTLE BOYS) whose behavior was not what you would expect after you lost a hard fought game. Maybe they don't deserve to play for Chaminade--but because poor Jimmy's feelings were hurt and Jimmy's parents complained, we're in this situation. It's a disgrace.

It's called decency, something that a coach at a Catholic School should possess. Guy got caught, behaving in an unacceptable manner, let him take his medicine like a man. The very lesson you seek to teach these "NOT LITTLE KIDS". Dope.

YEP. THIS WINDBAG ALSO NEEDS TO POINT OUT THAT HE HAS EMPLOYEES, HOW IMPRESSED ARE WE ?
TOTAL FRAUD
TOTAL FRAUD
St Anthony's is going to hire him. They have been looking for a quality coach to add to the staff.

I think many of us are getting off the track here. I do not know Pomponio personally but I know who he is and I know plenty of kids who have played for him. The vast majority are supporting him.
In the grand scheme of things, I'm not sure his anger was based in the fact that they lost a game. It seems to me that it was more rooted in that the kids didn't seem to care about what just happened. A coach works hard all week to prepare kids to compete and it's not unfair to expect the players to care as much as the coach. The least they could do is show some respect for the effort the coach has put into their preparation and development. Could he have chosen his words more carefully? Sure, but sometimes harsh words are the only way to get the message across. We now live in a world where authority figures receive very little in the way of respect. Are we really helping our kids when we jump in and get every coach, teacher, etc. that we don't like removed? Many of us older people on this site played ball when we were young and I am sure we all have stories about some of the crazy coaches we played for. Yes, there were some that were over the top, but they played a huge role in the development of their players and were respected. Ultimately, we knew they cared about us as people, as well as players. This message of caring may not be delivered in every conversation, but over a season or career a player will have little doubt about his/her coach. We have taken a snapshot of a distinguished career and used it to define this man. That's unfair and anyone who has competed in sports knows that there are times when the heat of the moment gets the best of us.
What have we taught this group of boys, that they don't have to be accountable for their actions or behavior? Is that really where we are going? Take a step back and give this some thought the next time a kid shows no respect to a teacher or police officer. Parents need to sit back once in a while and let kids take their lumps. It's a big part of growing up.

I'll ask you this---does it also mean that the coaches that hit their players and throw things at them when they don't perform thats ok too--- because he's a coach and it was in the heat of the moment. Not being a jerk. Asking the question. Where do you draw the line?

really? How much further are you going to spin this? Obviously the line is drawn at hitting. Maybe parents should ask themselves what did my kid do to contribute to provoke this? You sound more like a "not my kid" type of parent. Aren't you the least bit concerned about the kids behavior? We teach them please and thank you and how to he respectful long before this age.

Every coach has yelled screamed at a player especially if you have coached for 30 years. He didn't single out one kid he was addressing the team as a whole which we have all done from time to time. Some kid decided to record that moment and turn it over to school officials. Not saying what he did was right but 30 years of helping kids become better people and because of an outburst right after a game he is forced to resign. The kid that taped it was probably one of the ones that he was talking about and doesnt care and was more concerned with his phone. I hope he is happy at the outcome.
I didn't hear the audio (not even sure if it's public) and I have zero stake in this, but I remember on two occasions (1 baseball and 1 football) in 9th grade we were horsing around in the bus and laughing after a bad loss. Coaches reamed us and made us run shuttles until we almost puked when we got off the bus. I didn't like it then obviously, but as an adult looking back, it taught a valuable lesson. Amazing how things have changed. My parents never intervened in the team. It was up to me to quit if I didn't like or couldn't handle the coach.
Again I caveat this by saying I don't really know the details of this specific situation

In the grand scheme of things, I'm not sure his anger was based in the fact that they lost a game. It seems to me that it was more rooted in that the kids didn't seem to care about what just happened. A coach works hard all week to prepare kids to compete and it's not unfair to expect the players to care as much as the coach. The least they could do is show some respect for the effort the coach has put into their preparation and development. Could he have chosen his words more carefully? Sure, but sometimes harsh words are the only way to get the message across. We now live in a world where authority figures receive very little in the way of respect. Are we really helping our kids when we jump in and get every coach, teacher, etc. that we don't like removed? Many of us older people on this site played ball when we were young and I am sure we all have stories about some of the crazy coaches we played for. Yes, there were some that were over the top, but they played a huge role in the development of their players and were respected. Ultimately, we knew they cared about us as people, as well as players. This message of caring may not be delivered in every conversation, but over a season or career a player will have little doubt about his/her coach. We have taken a snapshot of a distinguished career and used it to define this man. That's unfair and anyone who has competed in sports knows that there are times when the heat of the moment gets the best of us.
What have we taught this group of boys, that they don't have to be accountable for their actions or behavior? Is that really where we are going? Take a step back and give this some thought the next time a kid shows no respect to a teacher or police officer. Parents need to sit back once in a while and let kids take their lumps. It's a big part of growing up.
well said.
Where have all the men of honor and character gone at Chaminade?
IMO the players should band together and demand their coach be reinstated and admit they deserved a tongue lashing … and apologize for their behavior on the bus. Let's see these "MEN" take responsibility for their actions, not whine and complain to their parents because someone raised their voice or used a few choice words to describe them. If they don't, they don't deserve to wear a Chaminade football uniform…. or any uniform for that matter.

At the very minimum, I heard these kids were peeing in water bottles, etc. on the bus....completely inappropriate and out of control, regardless of the school, grade, age, win or lose, etc. I will tell you, My kid would have had a HUGE problem from ME if he had participated in this behavior, not the COACH. At the end of the day what a terrible situation and an embarrassment on how the school and administrators handled it. In this month's Inside Lacrosse magazine, I would encourage everyone to read the artice from Peter Lasagne titled "A Direct Reflection of your Parenting" - The timing could not have been any better and Yes I agree with everything written in the article.

They did not get yelled at because they lost. They got yelled at for how they acted on the bus after losing.
So I ask you? In what other facet of these young men's lives, is it acceptable for an Adult in a position of authority to behave this way towards them? Other than a coach, who would you allow to talk this way to your son? The brothers at his school? The teachers? His boss at a part time job? A stranger? Come on man, it's a GAME... A meaningless game that many kids are trying to play for FUN. It's not D1 football or the NFL. Good lord, put it in perspective. Obviously, the Administration at the school has their collective heads on straight. Is the Coach of the Math team, Debate team, or any other team that might actually get these kids somewhere in life allowed to speak that way? No. Would you allow your wife's Boss to speak to her that way? No. Yet for some reason, you mental patients think it's "OK" for the Football Coach to speak that way to your kid. Again, about a GAME...
What world do you live in? In the business world people use expletives all the time. Is it a terminable offense? Obviously not. And if what Pomps did rose to that level, the administration "with its head on "straight"" would have had to remove his teaching responsibilities as well, which they didn't. So now, we are talking about the use of a few curse words to a group of 15 and 16 y/o kids (NOT LITTLE BOYS) whose behavior was not what you would expect after you lost a hard fought game. Maybe they don't deserve to play for Chaminade--but because poor Jimmy's feelings were hurt and Jimmy's parents complained, we're in this situation. It's a disgrace.
The real world numb skull. Maybe you can talk that way to people on the docks?? I assure you, in "my world" that type of behavior form a person in an position of authority is unacceptable. Quite frankly, in 30 years of business I've never been spoken to that way. Further, I've never had to speak that way to my employees that way either. It's called decency, something that a coach at a Catholic School should possess. Guy got caught, behaving in an unacceptable manner, let him take his medicine like a man. The very lesson you seek to teach these "NOT LITTLE KIDS". Dope.
Ahh the person who associates the business world with the sports world= no clue about sports. I'm sorry to say but you're the problem with sports in this day and age. Coaching young men sometimes takes tough love. You can't always coddle them and hold their hand. Let someone coach your kids and be tough on them so that they can face real world problems. You cant aleays be there to protect them. I have played professional sports and have worked in big corporate America and vulgar language is constantly used I don't know what company or where you work maybe they don't do it in front of you because you're so sensitive to it but the fact of the matter is in big business America there is vulgar language used. The pusification/demasculization is rediculous. I think a lot of this crap comes from parents who never played a sport. The fields of play were one place where trash talk could occur, coaches yelled expletives to get you going. These are 15 to 16 year old boys who not in the presence of their parents have the mouths of sailors. Let coaches coach and stop being helicopter parents.

no one said it was ok. who's really the mental patient? you are not comprehending. where does the kids behavior become relevant because more and more we see kids getting away with disrespectful behavior and it's largely due to parents letting them get away with it. the teachers, coaches, brothers, whoever don't have a prayer if the parents condone bad behavior. and it's condoned if they run to school for every little thing instead of teaching them how to deal with life. we just taught these kids to entrap an adult in a sneaky illegal way so they can get away with their behavior. great lesson. the coaches record speaks for itself. times have changed since he started. kids are no longer accountable for their actions and they all get a trophy. too bad the parents aren't going to be able to call their potential employer and complain they didn't get the job. what will Johnny do then? wake up!
Maybe the school acted too quickly and could have thought of other less offensive ways to handle the situation. Perhaps speaking to the Coach and suggesting taking the next week practices and game off to reflect as God asks of all of us.
Fortes in Unitate

Most of the other teams coaches at Chaminade probably should be dismissed too.

Sneaky yes, illegl no.
parents who don't think sometimes hurt their own children by acting out without thinking. I hope what I heard isn't true but I was told that when the kid who recorded the incident went to lunch everyone moved from the table. I hope no child has to suffer for his parents actions.
To: Coach Pomp;
PLEASE COME TO ST.ANTHONY'S. EVEN AS A RIVAL COACH ALL OF OUR PLAYERS AND PARENTS LOVE AND RESPECT YOU. CHAMINADE'S LOSS WILL BE SA's GAIN.
PLEASE COME TO ST.ANTHONY'S. EVEN AS A RIVAL COACH ALL OF OUR PLAYERS AND PARENTS LOVE AND RESPECT YOU. CHAMINADE'S LOSS WILL BE SA's GAIN.

The mental patient is you! The ADULT should have had more composure. He should be accountable for his actions. Respect is earned. When someone in a position of authority over steps his bounds it's wrong. He verbally abused those kids because he could. He said what he said because he knew not one kid was in a position to defend themselves. That's what PUNKS do. That's not toughness. Most of all, he said what he said because he thought he wouldn't get caught! The kid who taped him is a hero. At least he had the courage of his convictions.
This is why I believe it would be beneficial to actually see the video or hear the audio. Many of the users commenting here seem to have not heard it or seen it. As a result, a vast majority of comments are based on speculation and rumor. If the video is available, as a couple of you have mentioned, then let's see it and prove once and for all how "tame" or how "over the top" it was. Everyone is very quickly turning this story into an attack on today's generation of coddled kids - which is perhaps warranted - but since most of us have not actually seen or heard the reality of the situation, it's hard to take any of this speculation seriously. And that's not being nosy - that's wanting to have all the facts available before jumping to conclusions.

Yeah, get in there and bust their f%$*ing head open kid.. Down, set...
You my friend have taken one too many hits to the head. Your bias as it relates to your experience as a coach is evident. As for me, I played all kinds of sports, was raised by a WWII Marine, and was a Bouncer all through College. I'm extremely familiar with toughness and a masculine environment. As for the tough love, we'll keep that in the home. No need for some bone head wanna be/never was to dish that out. You just stick to the X's and O's, Coach.

Respect is earned , and he has earned it with thousands of young men over the last 35 years. This kid ran to mommy. Hardly a hero!
All this chatter and I haven't heard ONE person with first hand information or interaction with this man say a negative word about him. Not ONE ex student say, it's about time. Just the opposite. Thousands standing up and telling their stories of the their time with him and what an influence he has had in their life. A lot of people objecting on principal , but no one has said a word negatively about him.

why are you so bent out of shape. no one is damaged except the coach. these kids hear worse on the buses every day between peers. should he have cursed no. should they behave yes. the point is was it warranted. seems extreme. seems they caved to parent pressure. what is done is done. he didn't do it because he knew he would get away with it. he obviously didn't. whatever the reason, kids are too soft. this is about coddling them. there is something to be said for taking your lumps. it builds character if anything. this isn't about a kid who saved all his teammates from a tyrant. that would be a hero. this is completely different. spin it however you want. the coach got a raw deal.
were you on the bus or were the kids on the bus. how does one spell ridiculous. and what does this post have to do with the price of selling tea in China?
Yeah, get in there and bust their f%$*ing head open kid.. Down, set...
You my friend have taken one too many hits to the head. Your bias as it relates to your experience as a coach is evident. As for me, I played all kinds of sports, was raised by a WWII Marine, and was a Bouncer all through College. I'm extremely familiar with toughness and a masculine environment. As for the tough love, we'll keep that in the home. No need for some bone head wanna be/never was to dish that out. You just stick to the X's and O's, Coach.

Ok your right. I guess your reading comprehension is off. Never said anything in my comment about coaching. No one said anything about bashing heads. Do you even know what he said. I have seen the video and it was not bad at all. Kids were horsing around on the bus after a loss. Guess your ok with the everyone getting participation trophies and even making sure everyone gets equal playing time in high school. Sounds like you played sports but probably didn't do well at them so this is ok with you. Also being a juice head bouncer isn't something to be proud of. You probably worked in one or two of the clubs I ran while I was in college. So odds are you worked for me. Lol. This explains a lot about your reading comprehension.
A good man was let go for caring about losing and the way the boys were acting after a loss. Yes he raised his voice said a few bad words but nothing to warrant being fired as a coach.

Sounds like you played sports but probably didn't do well at them so this is ok with you. Also being a juice head bouncer isn't something to be proud of. You probably worked in one or two of the clubs I ran while I was in college. So odds are you worked for me. Lol. This explains a lot about your reading comprehension.
A good man was let go for caring about losing and the way the boys were acting after a loss. Yes he raised his voice said a few bad words but nothing to warrant being fired as a coach.[/quote]
We DEMAND second chances for our "perfect" children, but a proven an dedicated educator & coach mis-steps and he's shown the door?!
I don't have to wonder why kids these days have such an inflated sense of entitlement. Great job Chaminade PARENT. You just tarnished a great coach and wrecked your sons 4 years at a great school. Because if you don't think the KIDS will rally around this coach, you are sorely mistaken.

Pomps should sue Chaminade. And given that most buses now have video recordings, somebody should review the tape of the behavior of these sweet little mamma's boys.
Rich boiled kids, sad

You my friend have taken one too many hits to the head. Your bias as it relates to your experience as a coach is evident.

As for the tough love, we'll keep that in the home. No need for some bone head wanna be/never was to dish that out. You just stick to the X's and O's, Coach.

Ok your right. I guess your reading comprehension is off. Never said anything in my comment about coaching. No one said anything about bashing heads. Do you even know what he said.

there is a grey line on everything. I love the car commercial where the dad says "Participation Trophy" you won the game. you went undefeated... and rips off the glued-on label/plaque saying Participation... mumbles my son isn't getting the same award as they kids who lost and takes a sharpie out and "rights" "Champs"... then while in the car turns to his son and says here is your champion trophy.
think it is a hyndai commercial
Hey bouncer dad I bet you never played and competed at a any level , thus the bouncing profession in college .Maybe if you had a coach like Coach Pomp you wouldn't be in a bar you would have been on a field instead .I want someone to coach my son, push my son, teach him to never except losing , I'm the son of a marine that's what he instilled in myself and my brothers. Coach Pomps wants to win . Wants to coach wants to teach. X and Os are are only part of coaching ,anybody can walk around with a clipboard and high tube socks . Give me someone with passion,dedication, fire, spirit, you go with X and Os and see how that goes.
Look at the flyers and their results in the last 30 years he's been there . That "wanna be" has help guide some of the greatest athletes to come out of longIsland . Your the NEVER WAS ,he's done it . My bet is your no longer working the door at the Bar , your at the Bar regretting you were never the athlete you could have been .

its a Kia commercial. Its priceless.
So the kids got on the bus after losing a football game and ... moved on.
How are they supposed to act after losing a high school football game none of them will remember they even played?
How are they supposed to act after losing a high school football game none of them will remember they even played?
So, having read through most of these comments, I have one question that should be obvious to any reasonable human being: why do so many people have such strong opinions about this *without having seen the video*? Isn't that just patently irrational?
I just heard this horrible news today. I am truly saddened. This decision has hurt the young men who will never get the Pomps experience. A guy that every kid connected with. He is straight up, honest, approachable, encouraging, passionate about the game, real guy, loved the sports he coached, loved the kids he coached. Awesome man who smiled cause he was happy doing what he did. How unfortunate that the future Chaminade boys are unknowingly being punished by not having access to a mentor like Pomps.
I guarantee he wasn't upset about losing. I bet he was pissed about the disregard for the discipline and hard work that goes into building a team, the lack of respect for your team and coaches by not caring, the individual selfishness vs the pride of family / team. I played for that man. I know how he's wired. I now coach my own children with the same passion and love and demand for "give it your best... no excuse" mentality that Pomps brought to work and taught everyday.
What words could he have possibly said that demanded such a punishment?? The passion, although maybe too much at that moment, IS the lesson to those young men. Teach them to be passionate, dedicated, driven to excellence, hard working, empowered, and focused. Losing is NOT okay. Compete to Win!! Don't be so cavalier about losing.
Playing for Pomps was a great time in my life and for so many guys I'm still friends with 27 years later. Chaminade is an amazing place. It breeds young men who are hungry to be great in many ways...in classrooms, on the fields, with your family. We left there ready, driven and hungry. Nothing was handed to us.
Chaminade got this one wrong. It is a worse place without Pomps on the field. That guy came to school everyday to teach so he could get out on that field in the afternoon. He loves those kids, they love him and the next generation will not know him because of this incident. Its wrong and unjust.

because we know him. He's not out to harm our kids. Just the opposite.

Boo Hoo, move on. I guess if the guy just grabbed a kid by the nape of the neck, or kicked one in the [lacrosse]... That would be ok too right? No big deal, kid was out of line. It's football right? Gotta be hard mother F'er. Ya know, because no Coach back in the day ever did that right? Maybe the brothers should start paddling the kids again too. Keep these kids in line, teach 'em what's what. Do you see why they removed him now? Lack of self control tends to escalate.
Pomp is a greta man,coach and educator. too bad the pussification of America {ex PARENTS} got involved again
He has been there30 years . Escalate ? Your a moron. He didn't hit anyone .look in the mirror ,sounds like Jr dosent play too much.BOO HOO for Jr.

there is something seriously wrong with you. How bad were you picked on?

will you stop intimating he was about to hit a kid. Stop embellishing. That's not even remotely what happened. Take your to grind somewhere else. You are acting like a rabid dog.

Chaminade hasn't been an amazing place for a while now. They have tons of money so they will stay relevant for as long as they want, but the world has caught on to them and in some ways caught up to them. This is just another sign that the golden era of Chaminade is over.

We'll all just take your word for that, OK?
Thanks for helping shed light on the subject of Chaminade's status.
The thousands of kids who attended the open house this weekend should have stayed home. The 16 Bloomberg terminals at the school (the only HS to have such a program) should be shut off. They should not proceed with the breaking of ground for the multi million dollar STEM Center this year. The significantly above average SAT scores and College enrollment will immediately cease. No future grad will ever be a success because you say Chaminade is no longer amazing and the golden era is over.
Thanks for your help on this.

That's right! That's why you don't yell at a kid on the bus when they are not behaving !
It all goes to [lacrosse]! (If the kid tells his mommy)
His point is culture , things change Times Change . I wouldn't want my son taping anyone , somebody earlier said that was a good thing. Fast forward years down the road how's he going to be remembered . everything could have been handled differently .
Honor code is one thing .taping is another . Good luck
Honor code is one thing .taping is another . Good luck
YES, the kid taping him messed up, but who took this way out of control are the parents. Do they honestly now think they did the right thing? I'm sure they are wishing they could take it all back. It is the parents job to do what is right here and maybe they should have spoken to the coach, but not take it to the level it's at. I'm am sure this kid is hiding under a rock and wants to move to Alaska!
leave us alone you haters. every chance people get they gossip or pick on how Chaminade runs its school and sports. pur jealousy. it remains the most elite education and athletic program in the state , probably the east half of country!!!

Having been in attendance there when it was the best, I did(and still do) feel qualified to have written that most helpful and enlightening post. Re-read what I wrote (if you are capable of it) and put down your Kool-Aide. Critical thinking and observation of facts were things that were always taught. It seems to me that you are a daddy who has too much dad gear in his closet and you are trying too hard to protect your sizeable investment.

I now coach my own children with the same passion and love and demand for "give it your best... no excuse" mentality that Pomps brought to work and taught everyday.
What words could he have possibly said that demanded such a punishment?? The passion, although maybe too much at that moment, IS the lesson to those young men. Teach them to be passionate, dedicated, driven to excellence, hard working, empowered, and focused. Losing is NOT okay. Compete to Win!! Don't be so cavalier about losing.
Playing for Pomps was a great time in my life and for so many guys I'm still friends with 27 years later. Chaminade is an amazing place. It breeds young men who are hungry to be great in many ways...in classrooms, on the fields, with your family. We left there ready, driven and hungry. Nothing was handed to us.
Chaminade got this one wrong. It is a worse place without Pomps on the field. That guy came to school everyday to teach so he could get out on that field in the afternoon. He loves those kids, they love him and the next generation will not know him because of this incident. Its wrong and unjust.
Chaminade hasn't been an amazing place for a while now. They have tons of money so they will stay relevant for as long as they want, but the world has caught on to them and in some ways caught up to them. This is just another sign that the golden era of Chaminade is over.
We'll all just take your word for that, OK?
Thanks for helping shed light on the subject of Chaminade's status.
The thousands of kids who attended the open house this weekend should have stayed home. The 16 Bloomberg terminals at the school (the only HS to have such a program) should be shut off. They should not proceed with the breaking of ground for the multi million dollar STEM Center this year. The significantly above average SAT scores and College enrollment will immediately cease. No future grad will ever be a success because you say Chaminade is no longer amazing and the golden era is over.
Thanks for your help on this.
Pretty easy to have above average SAT scores and College Enrollment when you only take the smartest kids to begin with. Relax, Chaminade is not taking an average academic kid and making him a scholar. They are taking scholars and reaping the benefits of their achievements. Achievements these same kids had before they went to the school, and would have had, had they never attended. Oh, and if you falter or struggle, you're out. When they start taking average kids and making huge improvements with those kids, let us know. Until then, stop spouting. Kind of like Hopkins saying we're great at Lacrosse because we're Hopkins. They are great because they have the best recruiting classes year in and year out. Still can't win a Championship, but that's another story completely.

What's your point?? It's a great school. Great schools take the brightest kids.

Thanks for your help on this.
Having been in attendance there when it was the best, I did(and still do) feel qualified to have written that most helpful and enlightening post. Re-read what I wrote (if you are capable of it) and put down your Kool-Aide. Critical thinking and observation of facts were things that were always taught. It seems to me that you are a daddy who has too much dad gear in his closet and you are trying too hard to protect your sizeable investment.
Your comment was simply one persons opinion and presented zero facts to back it up.
I replied with hard facts.
I'm very sure that you think the golden era of the past was golden because you were there way back then to enlighten everyone and thus make it "the best".
You should be glad that your Chaminade experience gives you the confidence to express that opinion. However, I question your capacity for critical thinking, and reserve the right to call BS when someone makes misleading generalizations that are not fact based.
You said you attended---- but did you graduate?
I also question your self bestowed qualifications. Unless you served in ww2 and are part of what most people call the greatest generation, I would suggest we are from rather similar eras,
As a grad from the mid 80"s, I have both an personal connection and also a realization that the recent crop of classes, both graduating and entering, are statistically more competitive than when I attended. One might take pride in having helped lay a strong foundation and contributed to progress.
Now that you have more to go with, would you care to provide some more enlightenment? Please just stick to the facts.
You two are quite eloquent in defense of your arguments but may I add some insight from a public school kid.

HOP, you missed the chance to be educated by men in dresses? In reality there are fewer and fewer "men of the cloth" at the school and the place is not run the way it used to be. It just isn't as good as a result. The school can cover up the wrinkles with facilities and services but the face still dhows the signs of aging.

Read the letter that the Coach from Yale just wrote to the administration and you will see you are wrong. Praised Pomps, Chaminade and the character of the men who graduate from there. Cham has had more captains at Yale than any other high school. Pomps is the only JV, yes ONLY JV, coach in the COUNTRY that Yale even speaks with. Yale recruits these boys primarily because of Pomps and the type of men that Chaminade graduates. These are good students and leaders of great character, and upstanding values. The men who teach there are dedicated whether they are of the cloth or not.
BTW, the boy who took the video has left the school (clearly not of the same character).

I'm sure Chaminade is an outstanding institution and it's alumni and students are better for having attended. With that said, keep the personal back and forths to a minimum as some of us don't care to read the novels some are posting.
Register and contact each other directly through our BOTC PM system. It's anonymous so you can still speak your mind.
personal back and forth???..isnt that why you have this blog...thats all people do all day on this site. parents rank 8 yr old kids on how they play lax...I personally think this is more important than 8 yr old lax...

That's nice of the Yale coach to stand up for Pomps but you are a bit off in your assessment. He is the only JV coach that college coaches will speak to because of the following:
1. Early recruiting
2. Chaminade is the only school that doesn't bring 9th and 10th graders up to varsity (or rarely does)
Therefore, the Chaminade JV coach is actually a more important recruiting resource than the Varsity coach. I'm sure the HC has a strong say, but most of his kids are done before they even put on a Varsity uniform these days.
These same JV kids would be on their Varsity teams if they stayed at their local public school and no college coach would be speaking to their JV coach about recruiting.

Why anyone would bash or knock Chaminade when it comes to being a prestigious school is beyond me. I have no irons in the fire and did not attend Chaminade, but the idea that it is not among the best HS's when it comes to academics, athletics and turning out successful young men is preposterous. What went from defending or castigating a defrocked JV lax coach has morphed into a full on assault on Chaminade. Wow...I know there are probably jealous folks out there, but this is way too much.

The letter is very strong, I read it (do not ask if I will share as I will not). Also Gerry Byrne from ND wrote a very strong letter on the petition.

If you can read, no one is bashing. But the Chaminade defenders deny any suggestion that they are not perfect. It's always the case with them!
Please I don't know the full story but I have been to Cham hockey games and the language I heard from players wasn't pretty
always will be extremes on any topic....

Why not share it? Especially after citing to it?
There are 3 current Head D1 Assistants who are all Chamiande Alum (gerry byrne being one of those, as was mentioned). All have written and spoken with the Administration at Chaminade and have echoed the voice of thousands of fellow alum (and other coaches within their profession). Like Coach Shay at Yale, they have expressed the impact that this Coach has had on the youngmen they too have had the opportunity to Coach.

No this site is not here for immature adults to slam each other. Especially in novel type length.
I also think it's ridiculous for adults to rank little kids travel teams or comment on their ability or lack thereof.
Some posters on here seem to live their lives through their eight year olds accomplishments on the lacrosse field...equally ridiculous.

Administration is not changing their position.
Is it true the "hero" left the school ?

Would that make you happy if the kid left? Really?
The Parents who presented the video to the school exposed the child. What has happened as a result, in every respect, is their fault. Thank you Mr. & Mrs. Whiner!

Couldn't care less. I do however care quite a bit about the coach.
Yes! Hope he is gone! Any Chaminade student (and in any other school I imagine) who records a teacher and posts to social media would be immediately expelled. Why shouldn't the same rules apply to this kid??

Can't punish a whistle blower. In privates you can find ways in publics its a lawsuit. Haven't you learned anyting
Typical kill the messenger tactic. The audio made its way to the administration. The administration took the action. But all you male pussixs want to pick on the kid. Rumor has it coach denied that anything happened then admin put audio on the table. The coach lied to admin.....so much for the stand-up guy....if he was so stand up he should have owned his mistake. Instead he lied about it. Sorry.....bye-bye.

TOTAL LIE. You don't know what you're talking about. So much for a stand up guy? He's one of the greatest coaches on Long Island. Look at the online petition and read what former athletes write about him. Pomps is an outstanding person and how dare you slander his name. Gross.

he didn't own up to it because coaches talk to kids who are, i won't use your word, but we get the picture, every day. Poor poor babies. They got cursed at. Boo boo, as you would say.
This was put on the 2019 posts - Make sure you read your kids phones. I do all the time. Some of the stuff that is on there would make a druke prostitute blush.
stop being a wash woman and post facts instead of rumors. If you knew the type of person that Coach Pomps is you wouldn't be defending the weasel that recorded him. Hope the kid has left the school - wouldn't want to be him and have to face my classmates and teachers knowing that I was responsible for a great man losing his coaching job!! Hope the parents of the kid who complained are pleased with what they've done - made their kid look like a whiney brat and robbed a team of being coached by one of the best! Good job!
With all of this support this man has within the lacrosse and coaching community I wonder what the other coaches that work with him on a day to day basis feel, I know that in my high school when a similar situation happened and the administration did not have the coaches back the entire coaching staff offered their resignation effective immediately and the administration backed down, if this guy is so loved (and I have never heard of him until this week) why don't all the coaches quit, all sports and I bet the administration would change their minds, the parents would force them too.
I almost feel sorry for the young man. Busting his nut for two years just to go back to public school. He is however somewhat a product of his environment though. The same type who videotape people just doing their jobs, you know, easy jobs, police, firefighters, EMS, etc. No stress there.
Good luck Pomps.
Good luck Pomps.
Stop with comments about a kid. Children are led by their parents. I feel badly for the kid also. If the kid showed his parents and they didn't have the sense to tell him to delete it it's their fault. I feel awful for the coach don't get me wrong but if he is half the man that I've read about this past week he wouldn't want any kid subjected to these further comments.
Adults need to think. So much pressure on these kids today . How would you feel if this spiraled out of control and these words hurt this kid further.

Obviously the Administration at Chaminade was uncomfortable enough to take the action they did. They obviously feel the man acted and behaved in a manner contrary to their beliefs. It also makes me think that there's way more to the story than maybe anyone knows, and I mean anyone. Just my opinion. I wonder if all of you people who are screaming from the roof tops about this man, would be as vocal for a student removed from the school under the same circumstances? I'm guessing not. Ask yourselves? If a 100 average kid had a one time meltdown and behaved towards a teacher in the exact same manner as this Coach behaved towards the kids, would that kid survive? I doubt it, surely he would be expelled. I feel bad for the Coach, but I think he put the school in bad position. If they take him back, what message does that send to the students? Think about it for a while...

What are you talking about? Are you trying to say five year old? Regardless, your missing the point. It's not about the kid, it's about the behavior of the adult that is inconsistent with Chaminades teachings, and the school having no choice. It's about the message that would be sent if they allow the Coach to return. Some things are bigger than the love of a Coach. Try to take your emotion out of it for a second. Where does the school go from here?

Why do you keep referring to the young man as a, "Kid" ? He is not a child. I think you missed the point.
Ever see the psycho Chaminade wrestling coaches in action?

with all these so called psychos running around it's amazing how successful the alumni actually are. this school is sets the bar. it's obvious. the proof is in the pudding.
Such nice St A's boys spitting from the top of the stands onto anyone wearing a red jacket last night at the football game. Such class !

Remember they are mostly Chaminade rejects that couldn't handle it ..Leave them alone..They are in enough trouble for being rejected by the school

Kid,child,young man, minor, whatever, he's a kid not an adult.
We are protecting our "children" from harsh talk?? Are you serious? The best is when your kids rebel from all you helicopter parents and let their own kids fend for themselves. Our society is weakened when 30 years of good work is tossed to the side because some coddled teenagers had their feelings hurt.
As Colonel Frank Slade(Al Pacino) would say. "Your building a rat ship here, a vessel for seagoin' snitches". "Be careful what kind of leaders you are producing here".

Chaminade isn't the best of the best in anything. They send masses of catholics to mediocre to upper catholic colleges and compile sports teams using 2000 kids from all over long island and they still lose to public schools. The only ones who think that chaminade is the best of the best are the parents that send their kids to the school, just ask them.
coolest parents of all....great mom and dad swag . wear your Chammy swag proudly and often!!!

not quite. They set the bar. Public schools have no conviction. Everyone is treated the same. No accountability. This is a hard lesson for some but at least they stand by their morals. This incident is unfortunate. Chamindade didn't teach this kid to do what he did. His parent did. A kid in public school would probably have it on utube by now and the teachers union would have cried fowl either way in this day and age everyone has to know they can be recorded at any moment.

They are the best because they are strong across the board. There are other schools with comparable or better academics and others with better individual teams. However, there is no school on LI that has the combination of top academics and top athletics across all teams....not just lax. Look at their athletic center, Bloomberg terminals, wrestling facility, TV studio, the yearbook they produce, volunteerism and on and on. If you hate Chaminade I get it, but then name me the LI school which surpasses them in ALL these areas.

Man was that easy to strike a cord with you all. I've written that same concept for years on this board and it works all the time. Don't be so insecure. Chammy is a good school, and on average produces good kids that go on to get good grades at good colleges and then they get good jobs. One last thing, let me get this straight, the kid you're all bashing, it's his parents fault, not the school's fault at what happened? There's some irony in your logic pal...and just so you know, his recording is bouncing around many devices these days, heard it numerous times.

now I get it. I'm talking to a kid. All this time I thought I was talking to an adult. I would ask to have your parent respond but seeing how apples don't fall far from trees, I'll pass. And yes it is the parents fault in this particular situation.
^^^^^
In this particular situation because it happened to a Chammy kid? Give me a break. The kids at Chammy are just like all the other kids, there are great ones, good ones and bad ones. Some play sports, some do drugs, some drink alcohol, some fight, some curse, some work and get fired, stop putting the school on a false pedestal and let it go. If you have to defend/promote it all the time is it really so great?

Syosset to name one . Their academics are top in the country and you can't count the number of boys AND girls teams last year that won nassau, LI and state championships across all sports. Don't know what district you are from but I don't think you've been to many of the top districts if you don't think that they have programs and facilities that rival or surpass what Chaminade offers. You may be getting better than what you would have if you stayed in your public school but not many neighboring public schools , sorry. If you want to argue that you are sending your son for the catholic education we won't get in Public schools I totally respect that but not the academic /sports argument .

That's a fair and respectful point. But Chaminade has a reputation that is hard to equal. Don't take my word for it. Please read a letter that was recently written by the head coach at Yale.

However, there is no school on LI that has the combination of top academics and top athletics across all teams....not just lax. Look at their athletic center, Bloomberg terminals, wrestling facility, TV studio, the yearbook they produce, volunteerism and on and on. If you hate Chaminade I get it, but then name me the LI school which surpasses them in ALL these areas.
Syosset to name one . Their academics are top in the country and you can't count the number of boys AND girls teams last year that won nassau, LI and state championships across all sports. Don't know what district you are from but I don't think you've been to many of the top districts if you don't think that they have programs and facilities that rival or surpass what Chaminade offers. You may be getting better than what you would have if you stayed in your public school but not many neighboring public schools , sorry. If you want to argue that you are sending your son for the catholic education we won't get in Public schools I totally respect that but not the academic /sports argument .
That's a fair and respectful point. But Chaminade has a reputation that is hard to equal. Don't take my word for it. Please read a letter that was recently written by the head coach at Yale.
Chaminade lax was beaten last by LI publics. They also sent the same number of kids to an elite Ivy as several publics: 1-2
Don't really see a great advantage here.

Not the next few years. Last years Ninth grade team dominated. They crushed Pequa.

I can't say Ivy's are a pull for everyone and ideally they don't really match up with a student with conservative views, which you are more likely to find at Chaminade. Furthermore, because the demand is so great and only a small percentage are offered admission, that alone makes it elite as they can and do take top students in all aspects of life- not just in the class room, but the fields, arts etc. The biggest draw is the alumni connections and the willingness to help out a fellow alumni. Connections can mean far more than a degree from an Ivy, especially considering most kids go to very competitive schools. It might not be for all families and not all kids can make the cut, but it certainly doesn't hurt to graduate from Chaminade.

not quite. They set the bar. Public schools have no conviction. Everyone is treated the same. No accountability. This is a hard lesson for some but at least they stand by their morals. This incident is unfortunate. Chamindade didn't teach this kid to do what he did. His parent did. A kid in public school would probably have it on utube by now and the teachers union would have cried fowl either way in this day and age everyone has to know they can be recorded at any moment.
do chickens cry fowl? learn that saying at Chammy?
I can only imagine where you learned to speak. couldn't get in could you?
Wouldn't want to, it was coeducation all the way for me, thank god.
^^^ three above
You Chammy parents never cease to amaze me. So Ivy league schools don't take Chammy kids because of their conservative views? And the alumni network and connections you make at Chammy are better than you obtain at an Ivy? And does it hurt to graduate from anywhere? Amazing that such an above-average institution feels the need to call itself elite. And btw, anyone with half a brain can gain admission.

So a lacrosse coach at Yale writes a letter in support of his friend. What does that have to do with Chaminade besides the fact that his friend coached there?
I loved the post that implies that a Chaminade degree is more important than an Ivy

It is an inequitable comparison to compare Chaminade to a Public. Chaminade does not admit average students, and make them great student. They only admit great students and take credit for their successes. Nor do they admit kids with learning disabilities, ESL, behavioral problems, ADD, Dyslexia, illegal immigrants, or any other kid with any other issue. Publics, on the other hand, need to educate all of the above in their district. So please, stop with all Chaminade greatness. A collection of great kids, that would have been successful at their own school districts. Nothing more.

Agreed 100%. Chaminade kids no doubt are very bright young men. I also have absolutely no doubt they are the type of young men who would each excel and succeed in their own public high schools. Just like some athletic teams have an embarrassment of riches athletically so goes Chaminade academically.
This site is filled with parents wanting their kids to play lacrosse with the best team they can yet you don't understand parents wanting their children to learn with other smart kids and in a school environment where they don't have to take everyone and focus on learning at a higher level. Some of the reasons I'm glad that my son attends this school is because the feeling at my particular public school is sports is the priority and the kids run the building and use their cell phones all day. I don't believe in that environment my child would have as much success.

what's comical is that you had to define the word delusional. Even publics know the definition without looking it up.

Yet they still manage to print championship banners on a regular basis. Football, Lacrosse boys/girls as well as field hockey. Depending on the year, you can add both soccer programs. Would be even better if they could keep more of the delusional parents that ship their boys off to Chaminade!!!!

nothing delusional about sending your kids to Chaminade.
The St Anthonys/ Chaminade lacrosse phenomena mirrors the travel teams growth. So I can pay to have my son be part of a winning organization regardless if its the B,C, or D team or 2nd, 3rd or 4th string? I'm in. After all its about me the parent getting to brag to my friends about who my son plays for. If it was about my son, he would play with his friends at the local high school or be a stud helping to bring one of the lower private schools back to competitiveness.

Totally generalizing everyone, you are not correct! Why are you so concerned with where people send their kids? My has attended parochial school since he was in pre-k, so the majority of his friends attend catholic school!
I really don't see the point of your comment!

It's all about getting your kid on the field if he wants to play.. Watching will not get him better so besides the education part which only Chaminade stands out your kids should go to a smaller school and show something

Not sure where this is going only that you feel kids left your town for StA's or Chammy for lacrosse only and you don't think they will get field time. What towns did the catholics impact where it makes a difference to the town HS.

That's a nasty dig against the other Catholic schools and their academics. What makes Chaminade's academics so superior? Are their courses different somehow?

Were you the same guy who posted last year after Chaminade won the Catholic league championship in basketball, hockey, baseball and lacrosse?
Keep in mind that Chaminade requires students to perform well on an entrance exam to gain admission. You get more chess players than offensive linemen. (Cue the idiots who are going to say the test isn't that hard, etc........)

haters gonna hate
is this the year when Chaminade brings up the outstanding 9th and 10th graders? I hear that the senior class is very inexperienced and not anywhere near ready for primetime.

I think the Senior and Junior class will have something to say.... Do you think last year's MVP of the Championship game, the future ND goalie and many more are not ready? I think the 10 D1 commits of the Junior class will fit in nicely with the seniors
you been schooled, son...ouch

as were the rest. Chaminade does not "practice" in the winter. That being said parent sponsored clinics are run for Freshmen, JV and Varsity candidates. Respect the system, respect the results, no one is complaining and if they are you have choices.

Agreed. Stick to the facts and stop making incorrect assumptions and misleading statements.

St Doms needs to get past SJB. I think they will have a good team this year.

SJB hires a St Anthony's guy. Maybe the start of bringing a program back that has been bad for over 25 years.

I would say to hold on about the "highest ranking academically" that honor unquestionably goes to Regis HS.

That isn't what the Brothers told the Chaminade parents
best teaching staff and philosophy too
Really is no need to waste time responding to Chaminade haters...they will never get it and it just gives people time to vent to your response here...don't bother...I did not go there and have a daughter so we have no connection to Chaminade other than friends and relatives...but anyone who objectively cant acknowledge what a fine institution it is, is not worth responding to. Sure, ALL schools have bunch of self absorbed, dbag parents and alumni...and Chaminade is certainly no different. So move on bashers and pick another topic to rail against.

Chaminade receives its mandate to "go and teach all nations" in imitation of Jesus, Who is the expression of God's continuing love of His people. Like Father Chaminade, the founder of the Society of Mary (the Marianists), Chaminade seeks inspiration from Mary, the mother of Jesus, who embodies all the attitudes of the Gospel. Like Father Chaminade, Chaminade College Preparatory has committed itself to assisting Mary in the mission of encouraging people to become more like her son, Jesus. Chaminade continues to seek to revitalize Christian values in society and considers the education of youth as its primary means of formation in these values and in faith.
I'm not sure that is best education philosphy, although it might be a good religious philosophy.

Where does it approve of Lax player recruitment and holding back kids for athletic advancement?
50 pages is way too much for a mediocre academic and athletic experience amidst the backdrop of an artificial same-sex environment. Has anybody other than Chaminade parents ever confused Chaminade with one of the best high schools in the country?

I've never seen Chaminade at the top (or anywhere close to the top) of any credible national ranking. Regis yes, Chaminade no.
Really?
The word mediocre and Chaminade have never been in the same sentence.
Plenty of respect in the game of lacrosse on Long Island to go around.

Has anybody ever questioned why Chaminade is boys only while all other Catholic schools are not? What's up with that? How can we get that changed?

Thanks. You just gave an example of your public school education for all to see. Go back to drinking from your red solo cup and driving your chevy vega.

they are no doubt one of the best high schools. the proof is in the pudding. you wouldn't have to put it down if you weren't threatened by the truth in that statement. there are publics that can compare but it's probably about 10 percent on LI. publics are too busy being politically correct.
No one doubts Chaminade is one of the best high schools. It's the arrogance of the parents that annoys everyone.

P C and serving $hitty food kids won't buy or eat. The lunch menu at Chaminade is outstanding and very reasonable.

Wait till your son gets to College, he/you might be in for some culture shock...
Can somebody show a ranking where Chaminade stands in relation to Regis, Stuyvesant, Exeter and other private schools?
sure ....Chaminade is the best by wide margin

Who cares? My son is there, he loves it, we love it and Chaminade has become a family. If you have a issue move on to your local school thread!
No kids love Chaminade. LOL
Every kid I've asked said it sucks. They are there for the education. Granted. But stop with the, "he loves it" BS.

"Every kid", you asked? How many was that, silly man? One needs to be a different kind of student to accept 2 1/2 - 3 hours of homework every night. Some people thrive on it and like a challenge.
The parents are the best - whats arrogant about that?

The insecurity of chaminade parents is sad, spend so much time telling everyone how great it is. great organizations stand on their own, don't need constant bragging to reinforce their standing. Nobody is that impressed with chaminade except the parents that send their kids there, which isn't difficult to do - above average to get in and not expensive. Can't hold a candle to real private schools.

I went to a real private school and trust me- academics are a lot harder and valued at Chaminade. Private schools are full of wealthy parents that buy their kids into better schools and out of trouble. My friends would have been better off in a public school or an institution like Chaminade. The one thing that they both have in common- the exclusivity of being on the inside. You only know the real deal if you are part of it and quite frankly, no one on the inside cares what others truly think. If you truly don't give a damn about Chaminade and you feel it's worthless, than why waste time and energy putting it down? The Chaminade families know what they have, the private schools know what they have. Anyone can go to public school and find out what they have- and that's the difference- public is just that- open to all. Are there some great ones? Sure are! I think public school can be great for most. That said, there must be something that makes Chaminade the most competitive school on LI. If it wasn't all that, the numbers would have declined and other schools woukd be pulling the top candidates. As for the cost- who cares that it is less expensive than the elite prep schools? Regis is free, so does that make it less prestigious than others?

Chaminade is not the most prestigious school on LI. I've yet to see an Intel finalist, or for that matter semifinalists come out of there. I've also seem many graduates go to Hofstra. That's not prestigious.

I certainly don't know anyone who would argue that Chaminade would "beat" any of these schools in a head-to-head comparison, at least not one based on any academic metrics.

Great parents, great kids, great coaches, great administrators! Blah, blah, blah. Catholic school brainwash job!
why does this Chaminade bashing forum continue to go on & on?..it would seem that the administrators of this site have a bit of a bias against Chaminade (Catholic schools too)and are really enjoying the snide and snippy remarks that seem to never end?..haven't we gotten away from Lax discussion and now sunk to new lows by bashing schools?...God forbid we should dirt someone/something that the administrators of Back of the Cage support...move on already..
I am sure this wont get posted but what the heck..

first of all, you have no idea who is posting what. second of all, there is way more bashing than bragging going on. no need to bash if you are content with your own choices.

You do realize that a bunch of the comments on this thread and the entire forum probably come from kids ages 12-15. Do not assume you are going back and forth with an adult and when you do post, think about if you would want to speak to a kid that way, because there is a good chance that is who you are responding to.

let the bashing begin again...stop being so insecure, chaminade is a fine school, no reason to promote it so much.
If I recall, Syosset, a TOP NOTCH academic public school also smoked Chaminade in lax last season. And I mean smoked, 16-4 or something like that.
Syosset was an exceptional squad last year. they also beat garden city pretty readily.

by smoked you mean a pre-season scrimmage....
Post Syosset's roster from last year amd list all of the schools the seniors are going to and make sure you include the kids who did not step on the field and compare to Chaminade roster. Then look at the top, lets just use 8 teams in the country and see how many Syosset players are on the rosters compared to Chaminade.
We are just talking lacrosse here
We are just talking lacrosse here
One more comparison. Take the roster from 2 years ago and see if those Syosset kids are still at the schools they went to as freshmen and comapre to Chaminade.
That is an interesting one because I know you won't like what you see

Chaminade cannot compete with the top publics. Do we really need to remind you of the beatings they took last true lax season? Hint? WM
Next year will be worse. You better hope you don't meet up with Syosset, will be ugly!
Oh, OK. So now the best Chaminade kids didn't play???? What is this, MLB spring training???? Look, Chaminade is a good school and has a decent lacrosse program but when you start throwing around words like "elite, best, etc" then be prepared for a response. Especially from a best in class academic and lacrosse program like Syosset's. A public school, gasp.......

What would the brothers think of the same sex marriage you are promoting! Eternal damnation! Lol! Seriously, Are you kidding? In the very short time after they all graduate HS and are securely in college, no one cares where you went to high school. I guess except for the Chammy boys and their parents decked out in school colors.

Where are all those great chaminade kids on the US Lacrosse U19 team? Oh yea, none made it !
They're all in IVY League playing lax. Where's your kid? Probably couldn't make it in to college.
Same thing for the Chammy grads who play lacrosse at the Service Academies. Not a lot of time for U19 tryouts there. How many lax kids from your kid's school go (or have gone) to one? We have many.
U19 TRYOUTS WERE A JOKE. If you were not attending one of the coaches schools you were on the outside looking in. There were kids that didn't even tryout for what ever reason that made the team because they are attending the school of the coach. This was the worst selection process and they should be ashamed.
I guess Duke, ND, Maryland, Yale coaches thought the Chaminade kids were good enough to take them over your guys

But still not good enough to beat Syosset (16-4) and THAT was the whole point from the beginning.
ok..promise, you win...now please move on.....

So sad that you are hooked on a scrimmage.... So then why don't you tell them the JV score from the scrimmage? What happens when the 11 D1 commits (Juniors) from the JV team go play on Varsity this year? Move on and good luck to you.....
But still not good enough to beat Syosset (16-4) and THAT was the whole point from the beginning.
Only worse thing then the Syosset parent on here is having to travel to their village one town over for better morning breakfast food where there is a town full of people like him who have never heard the words please or thank you or excuse me--THAT is the torture chamber.

What would the brothers think of the same sex marriage you are promoting! Eternal damnation! Lol! Seriously, Are you kidding? In the very short time after they all graduate HS and are securely in college, no one cares where you went to high school. I guess except for the Chammy boys and their parents decked out in school colors.
can someone shut this idiot up? His mommy perhaps.

Pillars of virtue! NOT! Chaminade is a big business. Selling Chaminade-ade. We all know what they would do to protect their reputation. Protection of the franchise at all costs.

At this point I'm almost convinced that this entire thread is being argued from both sides by a single 11-year-old.
Single 11 year old from Syosset?
Or some insecure Syosset daddy who likely never played the game. You know, the loud meathead who rolls up in his Range Rover plastered with Igloo stickers. Yeah that guy.

What is igloo. Never heard of them. Are they a 1 team wonder program????

Massapequa beat up on Chaminade last year, but Syosset and Chaminade didn't play in 2015. Would be awesome if they could schedule a game for this coming year, though.

You might be surprised.
Syosset lost a lot of talent from last year with departing seniors that doesn't seem to be matched with its up and coming underclassmen, and Chaminade is bringing up a very talented, strong, inclusive and cohesive group of Juniors to their varsity roster.
Massapequa JV was beaten soundly by Chaminade JV last season. That same Chaminade talent will create a much stronger varsity team than the one that played Massapequa varsity last year.

Very well said!
I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess you have a rising senior at Chaminade. I know its a weak senior class but that's really nasty.
you mean rising jr.?
Unfortunately - people continue to believe that scores in scrimmages actually matter so someone is implying that Syosset's win in a scrimmage last year justifies a win over Chaminade which is just not the case - a total high school thing that never would be mention in college or the pros..... as for Chaminade JV beating Pequa - that is totally ridiculous as well because Cham does not allow underclassmen to play up while Pequa will not hesitate to take up a ninth or 10th grader to varsity if capable. So Cham JV plays a weakened Pequa JV team and Pequas young guns playing up are in theory improving at a greater rate - therefore I believe comparing Chaminade's JV to any strong strong public JV is a waste of time....

With all due respect, your assumption is way off base. I don't think the current Chaminade senior class is weak by any stretch of the imagination. On the contrary, they are excellent players. I do believe, however, that the chemistry on varsity this year between the Seniors and Juniors is MUCH stronger than what varsity had last season. There is a certain je ne sais quois with the two classes together that has created a very strong bond.

The 2 classes complement each other very well. The weakness in one is picked up by the other. I believe they will be fun to watch.....

Agreed. Their energy is unsurpassed. When they go to mass, it's like multiplying it times the speed of light squared.
Do you now see how ridiculous this thread is?
glad to see the toolbag will be strong again this year. reload baby!!!

Too much focus on on D 1. Many of these guys will never see the field in HS or college. Luckily they have the grades and money so can get on a roster. D1 , D3, Club, who cares!! Get in to best school you can.

According to Ty Xanders 50 total 3 from Long Island
10 upper-classmen (junior and seniors for those who don't understand) goalies, many committed, trying out for Chaminade Varsity this year. 10! where else does that happen?
the junior class has not lost a game in three years at the school. that competition and the superior-to-public-school-education is why Catholic parents send their boys there. seems to work well. don't like the Chaminade thread, leave. you won't be missed.

Who cares! You obviously have not done your research on public school education /commits. If you did, you would not come on here an embarrass yourself with your bragging!
Chammy will no doubt compete for the national #1 spot. Hands down the top team in nation. No public can legitimately touch them. Sorry if the truth hurts

Any ranking of schools is all
Hypothetical..you don't play everyone so the goal would be to just win your league..The kids that play on these high school teams play on a travel team that the HS team can't even come close to competing against ..so all this talk is just that talk and means absolutely nothing

They will be beat by the publics the same they were last year. Your comments are delusional!
My kid is a junior public school going D1, honor student, $20,000 a year athletic money. Seems like the only difference is the $40,000 you lay out for high school?. But you do get to wear your Chaminade gear every were you f###ing go.
Oh come on now. You have to admit the Chammy red looks much better on me.... than the green with envy you are forced to wear because your son didn't make the grade to get in.
Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas.

Come on now, even you don't believe that story you just told. You have convinced yourself it's better because you paid for it. And you don't want to think of your self as a sucker, but you know deep down inside....

Syosset? Talk about abnoxious. In every sport.
Chammy red will be rolling and beating up on all the baggy pants wearing public players. Oh yea.....and studying 3 hours/day and kicking butt in the classroom. Tell me how good your kid is doing with common core......ha
Chammy football program rolling too.
Did they win a game this year?
Rolling dubies like CoachBoyd...he's very good at that!

what a nice attitude to have about public schools, the parents of same and the deluded self image of some of the Chaminade parents.
not sure if the public school kids have the guidance and moral compass that our kids get both at home and at school. I hope so, but haven't seen any evidence of it in the behavior of kids in in my town. its so easy to see who is who.
lets get back to lax babble here please..getting way too off track..
Recent posts here just keep reinforcing my view that this entire thread is a single 7th grader pretending to be both Chaminade and public school parents.
like the kid from Seinfeld who recommended the movies to Elaine....Vincent....

If your kid has no "Moral Compass" then look at the parents, not the school. If you think by the time they are heading in to HS you can send them to Chaminade for direction in life, then you just don't get the joke. Because the joke is on you.
Chaminade can't compete academically or athletically with the best publics. The best lacrosse atheltes are not at chaminade. Nor the greatest academic acomplishhments such as Intel finalist sand Rhodes scholars. Sorry money does not always buy happiness or success.

The number of hours of homework does not reflect the quality of the education. Quantity is very misleading. That basically tells me the kids do more learning outside of the classroom than inside.
Syosset smoked you last year and is a better academic school too. There is not argument.

Its Syossets claim to fame. They "won" a scrimmage. Oh yea.....NONE of the Syosset lacrosse guys are the "high academic students" that the Syo parents like to talk about. Those are the science kids not from the USA. Sorry if the truth hurts.
Oh yeah. Scrimmage means nothing . You don't hear st ants bragging about beating them in a scrimmage this past spring . Settle down .
I hate to break it to you but Syosset team has numerous scholar athletes whose claim to fame is winning the class A Long Island championship.
Easily handling chaminade was just the beginning of a great seasons for a great group of seniors
And by the way Syosset like garden city and manhasset csh and other districts in Long Island can only select from a limited community
unlike chaminade

You are so ignorant.....Chaminade picks from a limited pool also. It is an all boys,Catholic school with high academic standards. It is not for everyone. Stop spewing nonsense.
why you are calling that poster ignorant?
He/she simply was pointing out that Chaminade can draw from all over Long island, NYC, even Ct.they have over 9 thousand applicants each year.
another point..what does it being all boys have to do with things? pretty certain that in any coed school only boys are eligible to play for the team..

The point was not every kid wants to go to an all boys school.
Chaminade is simply a mediocre boys school in the grand scheme of things. The real prestigious ones never even heard of it. It is too funny how these posters brag about paying for what they can get for free!
My son chose Publuc school over an elite private school
That was friends academy and portledge
Chaminade is far from an elite school unless you want a clone
If a religious education is what you want great for you but academically chaminade is far from top privates
My son chose to stay in our public school which recognizing multiple cultures since that is the real world he will live in for the rest of his life.
He will be better adjusted as an ivy commit as a result
Nothing wrong about chaminade if that is what your kid wants but stop fooling yourself if you think that the school is among the elite on Long Island

Chaminade has a dress code and rules ......BUT even those (rules) are not quite what they use to be! Different type of parents now a days!

Having gone to one of the elite privates myself, there is nothing elite about them either. Private elite schools are pricey and have wealthy families, thus networking is the key draw. Education is average and many teachers are not as qualified or experts in their field because the pay is sub par to a LI public teacher salary. That said, my teachers were passionate and I remain in touch with many today. Furthermore, while money can buy a lot of great experiences, build new libraries etc. public schools have state of the art facilities in many of the LI districts. They also bring in the most qualified and in demand teacher's as they pay the highest. The academics are no better in a private school. The one difference I saw back then was service to the community. Public schools lacked in this area but many are now adding that to their curriculum, especially schools with special diploma programs. Don't get me wrong- private was great- but it's not elite- just the price tag. Chaminade and many publics are easily on par or better than privates, especially concerning academics. What I think people like Chaminade for is the religious, all boys, rigorous program. Kids are taught in order to succeed you must work hard and there is a lot of homework and tests. It is academically competitive throughout the school and not just the top 20 percent, like a public school. If you are an excellent student with good work values, you can get the same experience in a public school minus the single sex. Public school academics can get muddled with behavior issues during class time, which does happen. Kids aren't all as invested because not everyone cares to be a top student- that's what makes Chaminade a bit different academically. You need to know your kid and should chose a school that fits your kid as a whole.

Yeah, recognizing other "Cultures" really worked out for us. My son couldn't wait to LEAVE our school district. I think we'll stick with Chaminade,,,,,,
The above may be the best most accurate post in the history of this board. My experience was identical to the poster's. I grew up in a very good LI school district, though went to an "elite" NE Private. I live in one of the best LI districts and have had a child attend Chaminade and others remain in district. Thank you for a positive, honest, non-dreogatory post.
Since when is Friends Academy considered an "elite private school"?
Everyone I know whose kid goes there is rich and privileged if that is what you mean by "elite". Never heard of anyone being rejected so that isnt exactly "elite".

Sounds a little racist to me...is that what you are teaching your kid?
That is exactly what he is saying.
You can only keep your kid sheltered in your all boys religious world for so long
They it will be welcome to the real world. Good luck

Exactly. Because those Chaminade grads are doing so poorly at those top tier colleges and professionally. They go to more diverse settings and completely melt down. You are so on point.

Agree. Typical anti-Catholic school nonsense. If more people on this site and in life followed the simple good standards that the catholic schools teach we would all be better off.

Yup, just as I figured, elitist and racist. You must be great fun on the admissions committee at the club Judge Smails.
That is quite enough. No more racist comments.. This is ugly and I want it stopped.

Please pull the plug on this thread already. It has become absurd and has nothing to do with Chaminade lacrosse or any lacrosse for that matter. Unfortunately it has everything to do with insecure parents (perhaps with some 12 yr old boys mixed in) arguing over the perceived merits of public school versus a private Catholic school. I, and perhaps many others, could care less where some random parent sends their kid to high school. I am interested in lacrosse. The commentary here is 90% idiotic and uninformed. Enough already. Chaminade is a great school and many publics are great schools as well. There are arrogant, insecure parents on both sides of the fence. We good now? Can we move on? Back to lacrosse please!!!!!

Just delete everything and start again. If a poster appears to be a current Syosset varsity or Chaminade freshman team parent, just insta-delete.
Back on topic: Big surprise (I know, I know, Suffolk A league limitations and all that), but once again Chaminade and St. Anthony's appear to have by far the most impressive schedules in all of New [lacrosse]. Discuss...

Will Chaminade play Soyosset? Only way we can settle this. Hope so, although I don't think chaminade will agree, too risky!
Chaminade does not back down from any program. If they can schedule they do. Both programs coaches are good friends and that is why they always scrimmage. If Chaminade was so worried about winning they would not schedule a game the day or should I say morning after their so called prom every year.
Let Syosset or any public school play Chaminades schedule year in and year out and see how many wins they get. They don't have the schools where they can pad the stats
Remember these are still kids playing and it is tough to get the kids through a year with no loss. Congrats to those who pulled it off job well done

When does Chaminade and St A's begin to send out admission notices to perspective students for the coming year? Thanks.
it's prospective . and you may want to just call the schools. Is this your only information conduit?

So far, Chaminade has Manhasset, St. Ignatius (CA), Delbarton, Greenwich, Yorktown, Massapequa. St. Anthony's has Greenwich, Delbarton, Syosset, Yorktown, Darien, New Canaan. Should be another fun year.

Those are both insanely tough schedules. Notice the glaring school missing here? No Garden City on either. The Chammy / GC bad blood continues. What a shame they don't play each other.

Seriously, you Syosset people need to get a grip. Congrats on building a great program, but get over yourselves already. Do u honestly believe Chaminade is afraid of playing you? You are delusional. Go home, put some more Igloo stickers on your Escalade and settle down.

Both Syosset and WM had 5 Intel semi-finalists seems they have more to brag about than their lax program! Go publuc!
Manhasset had two Intel winners ...
So did Port

Port sports are no good!
I think people send their boys to Chaminade for a little more then how good their lacrosse team or science dept is. I guess the non athletes that go there don't accomplish anything in the future after graduation. I know this is a sports blog but a Chaminade diploma goes a [lacrosse] of a long way.

Still looking for the Catholic lax schedule - any help would be appreciated
I feel lucky to live where we have outstanding choices where to send our kids to school, their are so many factors (cost, religion, academics, social, future networking, travel time and yes athletics)each choice is personal and between the parents and the kids. I have sent my kids to our local public school and it has worked out well for them, what I am trying to say is I am pro choice and I have nothing against people that make other choices.

Looks like the Catholics are really challenging themselves by playing small public schools... Wow. If they want to call themselves the best, why do they duck the MIAA or Inter-AC schools?

Ha, you just can't win in this thread.
1) Neither school's schedule is finalized.
2) St. Anthony's played (and lost to) two teams from Philadelphia last year.

If your son or daughter are one of the finalists congrats .......but it seems very funny that you are taking some kind of credit for the work the finalists put in. None of the finalists are top rated lax players. So the connection lacks any factual basis.
I think the accolades point to the quality/strength of the academic program and the opportunities provided.
Destinations for recent Chaminade graduating classes
Class of 2015 14 Ivy league and 3 Military academies
Class of 2014 13 Ivy League and 4 Military academies
Class of 2013 15 Ivy League and 3 Military academies
In addition to numerous Northwesterns, Notre Dames, Dukes, Fordhams, Stanfords, and so on and so on
All from class sizes of around 400 you talk the talk putting down Chaminade can your Public walk the walk?

Reality Check.....In the past 5 years St. Ants has played top ranked teams from Upstate NY, CT, NJ, PA, MD
Likewise, Chaminade has played top ranked opponents from Upstate NY, CT, NJ, CA
Among the names that should ring a bell: Delbarton, Darien, Yorktown, St. Ignatius, Greenwich, Fairfield Prep, Bergen Catholic, Wilton, Haverford, La Costa Canyon, Don Bosco, Immaculata, Loyola Blakefield, New Cannan, Episcopal, Niskayuna,
Locally, their schedules consistently include West Islip, Massapequa, Ward Melville, Manhasset, etc.
This year the friars have Syossett. I expect that Chaminade will again find a way to add a game with West Islip which has been a great game for both teams over the years.
Is that not enough of a non league list for you haters?
Certainly does not look like the Catholics are ducking anyone!
How has the recent Nassau/ Suffolk HS combined record looked against teams from PA, NJ, CT, MD? I think GC plays St. Pauls(MD) & Duxbury (MA) regularly. How about the big tough Syosset, Northport, and both Smithtown teams? How are their records against powerhouse out of state programs?

Mike Drop!
Regarding the assertion that Catholics don’t challenge themselves by playing small publics, you comment is moronic. First, get your facts straight. St Anthony's played both Episcopal and Haverford (both Philly) last year. They lost to Episcopal by one goal and then lost 11-5 to Haverford, the #1 team in the country at the time. Second, this isn't college. Traveling 3-5 hours to play teams in MA or Philly is difficult, given committed, local non-league and mandated league schedules. Don’t tell me the publics do it, because they do not. The almighty Syosset Braves left Long Island once to play a Buffalo school. Wow. Should we also be impressed Syosset plays the likes Baldwin, Freeport, Plainview, East Meadow and MacArthur? Talk about a real murderer’s row of lacrosse teams there. Smithtown East never left Long Island once. Does that mean they are scared or ducking out-of-state schools?
If you have complex about Chaminade or St. Anthony’s, that’s fine. Just don’t post idiotic comments that they don’t play challenging schedules. They do not duck anybody. These guys play the hardest schedules out of anybody in the tri-state area. Not even up for debate my friend.

Additionally, since this IS A LACROSSE FORUM, this year's Chaminade Varsity lacrosse team has 3 Ivy League commits and 3 Military Academy commits...so far....
team been chosen yet?
I understand that there are cuts coming among upperclassmen.

Considering they take a lot of geeks based on the test, I would hope this is what happens. For 10K per year above your taxes, you need to get something back.
And the Geeks shall inherit the world

Yeah those 10 young men going to service academies to serve our country and protect your sorry [lacrosse] are just a bunch of "geeks". People like you don't get it and probably never will.
Proportionately, most school districts, I know my district represents those same college acceptances.
In fact maybe better statistically based on only 225 in the class of 2015
1 Yale
3 UPenn
1 Harvard
2 Dartmouth
3 Cornell
2 Columbia
2 Brown
And UChicago, Boston Colleg, Notre Dame etc etc
You know kids in public schools can get over 2100 on SATs also?

I fixed it for you.
So 100% of the grads going to the academies are due to Lacrosse
and almost 25% of the Ivies are Lacrosse Players
Only reason to go to Chaminade is to play lacrosse?

once again, I have no irons in the fire for Chaminade, but this has really passed the point of any productive dialogue relating to lacrosse. Now we are disparaging catholic education or public school education???...wth?

That's surprisingly low. I would have expected higher. Syosset has a graduating class of about 500 and consistently sends kids to all of those schools and then some, and their numbers would easily dwarf Chaminades. I would guess a lot of the other top public schools would also. Maybe your count is off because for what parents are paying tuition for, you would expect more kids being accepted to Ivy League schools.

Lol, that's the truth. Keep paying for what you can get for free if that makes you happy. My son's HS (not Syosset) currently has 16 boys lax commits several two top Ivies or other top programs. Plus we have kids gaining top honors in areas other than lacrosse such as the Intel. I will take that before I put my kid on a train and pay $$$ to drI've around with a Chaminade bumper sticker!
No , you just drive with a red white and blue bull instead
I figured the sticker was a cow......since that's how they play.

Who said they were "just a bunch of geeks"? Stop twisting what is written to suit your agenda. Keep paying for something you don't have to. Thanks for the subsidy.

Right, but some schools have it worse -- indeed, far worse -- than others, right? If you don't want to believe that, you have your head in a hole.
For all the guys who crow about how good their school districts are, there are significantly more school districts that are not good. If you don't want to believe that, you have your head in a hole.

What does any of this have to do with lacrosse?
Yes. Let's talk about lacrosse. Chaminade has won three Catholic league championships in a row. Chaminade continually ranks in the top 20 in the U.S. Chaminade continually places multiple players in college lacrosse programs. This year's team has a sr goalie committed to Notre Dame, a middie committed to Yale and a sr pole committed to Penn. this year's college pre-season all-American list included four former Flyers (Cerrone, Kavanagh, Quinn & Zenker).

Thank you Einstein. Most of their games are against some of the top programs in the tri state area.

Fans of both teams would agree with you that that's the case (though some of the NY public leagues are just as unimpressive).
Both Chaminade and St. Anthony's make up for their "week" leagues, however, by playing the most challenging non-league schedules of any teams in New [lacrosse] State.

Only, most of the top teams are not from the tri-state. Play Hill, Culver, Haveford. Then I'd be impressed!

Are you new to the lacrosse world?
Over the last five years, here's how Tri-State teams have fared in the national top 10
2015 -- 6 teams
2014 -- 5 teams
2013 -- 5 teams
2012 -- 6 teams
2011 -- 6 teams
In addition, we (meaning New [lacrosse] here) produce far more D1 players than any other region.

Catholic league is weak and you know it. Top 20 is not top 5, sorry. When someone resorts to the Grammer defense you know they've got nothing. Yes chaminade has claim to some stand out players. But then again, so do pubics. For example, Miles Jones, #1 preseason player. And yes there are others just not going to start listing. League is weak, you have been and will be losing to publics again. No reason to be mad, hopefully your son is one of the better players and receives a scholarship to offset the cost of HS.

If you want to talk top 5 teams nationally, only seven Long Island schools have finished the year in the top 5 since 2005 (going by the CCR ranking). Chaminade is one of those teams (in case you're curious, the other schools are WI, WM, Massapequa, GC, Manhasset, and Huntington).

But I thought Chaminade was special, on a pedastal, above the rest.....not!
Who said Cham was on a pedestal, above the rest? I think the author of the post that tried to bring this thread back to lacrosse merely was noting that Chaminade has a very strong program. there are some public schools on LI that are good as well. In fact, I am confident this post will cause the red cup gang to discuss last year's Syo scrimmage.

Well, if that's how you feel...all good. Chaminade has a good program, so do several publics on LI. Both have long lists of high quality commits. Sone pay a lot of money for these accolades, some don't. Good luck to all in the upcoming season.

I think we have gone through this before... each league, no matter where it is, has weak teams. Suffolk and Nassau are the worst. But, Both Chammy and St A's schedule a much tougher season than any LI or NY public school. Same has been said about the Mid Atlantic schools. League strength is a cop out when you know the rest of their schedule.
mental note, I will take Li's so called weaker schools over many other areas weaker schools.

Some can afford to pay, some can't. Don't mind other people's wallets and how they want to educate their boys. It is none of your business
The elitist Chaminade postings and the ranting inferiority complex of the Chaminade haters are both the minorities--its a couple of guys posting incessantly on here in regards to each side. We get your views/opinions...let it go now.

It almost seems like it's two moms (who know very little about lacrosse) arguing back and forth.
yes I agree. probably completely interchangeable too.

Ha, you just can't win in this thread.
1) Neither school's schedule is finalized.
2) St. Anthony's played (and lost to) two teams from Philadelphia last year.
Reality Check.....In the past 5 years St. Ants has played top ranked teams from Upstate NY, CT, NJ, PA, MD
Likewise, Chaminade has played top ranked opponents from Upstate NY, CT, NJ, CA
Among the names that should ring a bell: Delbarton, Darien, Yorktown, St. Ignatius, Greenwich, Fairfield Prep, Bergen Catholic, Wilton, Haverford, La Costa Canyon, Don Bosco, Immaculata, Loyola Blakefield, New Cannan, Episcopal, Niskayuna,
Locally, their schedules consistently include West Islip, Massapequa, Ward Melville, Manhasset, etc.
This year the friars have Syossett. I expect that Chaminade will again find a way to add a game with West Islip which has been a great game for both teams over the years.
Is that not enough of a non league list for you haters?
Certainly does not look like the Catholics are ducking anyone!
How has the recent Nassau/ Suffolk HS combined record looked against teams from PA, NJ, CT, MD? I think GC plays St. Pauls(MD) & Duxbury (MA) regularly. How about the big tough Syosset, Northport, and both Smithtown teams? How are their records against powerhouse out of state programs?
Nailed It!.........Chaminade's Schedule now opens with West Islip and also added Ward Melville.
No doubt, consistently playing the toughest schedule in the nation.
St. Ants & Chaminade have been playing this caliber of talent for decades.
Take a look ... Chaminade has ranked in the top 50 national poll in each of the past 10 years and St. Ants for nine out of the past 10
The teams they play also are consistently nationally ranked as well.
How does Chaminade's rate for a non-league schedule?
WEST ISLIP 6X top 50
SAINT IGNATIUS PREP 8X top 50
WARD MELVILLE 8X top 50
at Manhasset 5X top 50
YORKTOWN 6X top 50
at Massapequa 4X top 50
at Fairfield Prep 5X top 50
at Greenwich HS 3X top 50
DELBARTON 9X top 50
Now, add in 3 games against St Anthony's 9X top 50
Talk to me, who are they ducking?
For all the Syossett fans: you've only ranked nationally 3 times... sorry your just not there yet.
Just the facts, Ma'm!

Ha, you just can't win in this thread.
1) Neither school's schedule is finalized.
2) St. Anthony's played (and lost to) two teams from Philadelphia last year.
Reality Check.....In the past 5 years St. Ants has played top ranked teams from Upstate NY, CT, NJ, PA, MD
Likewise, Chaminade has played top ranked opponents from Upstate NY, CT, NJ, CA

Are you really bragging about playing WI?? WM beat Cham last year and has a good chance to repeat that. Syosset would beat Chaminade easily this year, the only one that counts. Hope to see that game
now I am convinced this thread is in the hands of a bunch of HS kids who have snuck out of class (in public school) or wait till class ends (Chaminade) who are going back and forth..there is no adult that would be so lame as to keep this infantile discussion going...
You would be surprised. been on the sidelines lately during summer.

This guy did not even absorb the facts... Chaminade only plays hard core battle tested winners.
Syo needs to be more consistent.
To disparage West Islip is foolish. The program has a great history, great coaching, and will put a tough team back on the field. A few down years does not take away from the program. The talent will be back.

Stop living in the past. Chaminade is in the mix with the better publics, what matters is how the teams do this year, who cares about last year, or past "dynasties" exempt maybe those who played on those teams. New crops of kids playing and taking on bigger roles this year. Let's see who wants it!
Anyone hear anything about a coaching change?

Yes it is
Did all the best lax players suddenly, some would say "miraculously" pass the entrance test and get in? The applications should all be in by now.
So that means keep your eyes peeled for parents decked out in their latest red/yellow outfits.

If athletes were "miraculously" gaining admittance, Chaminade's football team would probably be a whole lot better than they are.
(Great news about Pomps' return.)

if you were a true fan you would have attended some of the Public school games. If going through this travel process you made a true friend you would've supported those past teammates families on those public school teams.
if you did this, you would notice the apparel of each school being displayed - proudly - on many moms dads sisters and brothers (even grandparents).

That was my point - guess you missed the sarcasm - of course you see family members wearing school apparel at every high school sporting event. The poster who keeps taking shots at Chaminade parents for doing the same thing public school parents do is getting old
one thing to wear to games. another to wear every day
does that include the dbag on the LIRR who wear's Harborfields pull-over everyday?...

Says you.
Chaminade's Non-League Schedule:
Smithtown East (scrimmage)
West Islip
St. Ignatius (CA)
Ward Melville
Manhassett
Yorktown
Massapequa
Fairfield Prep (CT)
Greenwich (CT)
Delbarton (NJ)
For the guy who says their schedule is soft - please look again. They play a who's who of lacrosse. By the way St. Anthony's schedule is just as tough. For Chaminade and St. As to continuously be in the top 20 in the country year in and year out with the schedule they play is impressive...

Considering they dress 75 kids and have more than 100 in the lower levels I would hope very good.

Defensively, the team should be fine. Senior goalie (committed to Notre Dame) got a lot of playing experience last year. XXXXXXX a senior defenseman headed to Penn, also played a ton last year. Juniors will contribute defensively as well.
At the faceoff X, Colgate commit was outstanding last year and he is back.
The big question for Chaminade this year is will they be able to score against solid defensive teams. Chaminade's entire 2015 attack graduated . Moreover, while senior middies are solid, gritty players, they aren't big scorers (like say Cerrone or Bonafede or Zenker were in recent years past). In order for this team to do really well, some junior middies (or sophs?) and attackman are going to have to step up.
thanks for rundown coach.....
by the way, since when is it ok to mention kids by name on this site?...thought that was frowned upon?..opens it up to criticizing youngsters....?

The senior and junior class are very strong ( juniors alone 12 D1 commits). They still have to have tryouts, no sophs will be moved up and they only have 44/46 spots not 70 plus. Time will tell how good they will be but there is a tremendous amount of talent in that upperclass. Wish all the candidates beat of luck during and after tryouts
For each position listed, there are public kids that far outshine them all. Yea decent players, not elite!

The junior and senior classes are fine. Great players in both classes. Until proven this group of sophomores is just going to have to wait it's turn like everyone else. Heard a few sophomore lax dadies tried to petition to have their sophs play varsity this year.

Feel bad If they really tired to petition, not the Chamnade way. Bad move and don't Believe it to be true.

Honest question: why would they care? Any player good enough to get moved up to varsity is likely already committed to a real D1 school. How would they benefit at all?
I took out the names of current players

Yes. There maybe but they don't play on the same team.
"For each position listed, there are public kids that far outshine them all. Yea decent players, not elite!"
What's your point? Your comment is irrelevant. Do you think the Broncos care that Cam Newton is better than Manning or that Gronk is better than Owen Daniels? The question posed was how is Chaminade going to be.

Ok. Fair enough. Great point. Really enlightening. How many publics?

When has anyone claimed that Chaminade is "better in talent than the better publics"? They're better than some good public school teams some years, they're worse than some good teams in other years.
Chaminade is usually, however, a bit deeper than most public schools, and they're probably a bit more consistently in the national discussion than most of Long Island's good public schools. But that's to be expected when you're a large all-guys school.

The big question for Chaminade this year is will they be able to score against solid defensive teams. Chaminade's entire 2015 attack graduated . Moreover, while senior middies are solid, gritty players, they aren't big scorers (like say Cerrone or Bonafede or Zenker were in recent years past). In order for this team to do really well, some junior middies (or sophs?) and attackman are going to have to step up.
Boom, you just went there! 800lbs gorilla - Will they pull up the soph's
The senior and junior class are very strong ( juniors alone 12 D1 commits). They still have to have tryouts, no sophs will be moved up and they only have 44/46 spots not 70 plus. Time will tell how good they will be but there is a tremendous amount of talent in that upperclass. Wish all the candidates beat of luck during and after tryouts
To be more precise I'm watching a game film. 40 on the bench, 10 on the field. And that's after cuts. How many public schools can compare with those numbers? And if they can, how many of those dressed players don't know which end of the stick to hold? It's like the Express vs a PAL team. Who "should" win just about every time? I know.
Below is what the Juniors / Seniors bring to the table so far and more on the way. Time will tell how good they will be, if there is chemistry and they bond could be fun to watch.

A very impressive list of schools. OK so what public can come anywhere close to this number of players in their junior and senior classes going on to play in college. Also the caliber of schools listed.
Please let's not knock any school it's not about attacking a players choice of school. I will delete it. It's about comparison of how many players are going onto next level of play and if any public comes close to Chaminade.

I think the most impressive part to that is NO Underclassmen! What School can say that. Many of the power house Publics have underclassmen (at least Sophomores) in their mix.
Would love to know the mix of town that the potential Starters and those taking prominent roles on the team are from.

To be fair, for Chaminade, that seems to be a small number of Div 1 commits for the senior class. I would imagine that the Div 3 seniors did not play a lot last year. If true, this year's team will be lacking in varsity experience and definitely could struggle at the start of the year.
don't be surprised to see some cuts from this list. I heat they are leaning that way.

OK so I would say that Massapequa is considered one of the top lacrosse programs over the past few years and that's an impressive list of schools. Still doesn't compare to Chaminade.

Not you don't get it. People are comparing to Chaminade. No ohhh, we are one town. Then stop comparing. No one said it wasn't impressive. It's just there are those who made certain claims and people backed it with facts. Now your on here saying it's not fair. Wah wah. Typical.

YOU don't get it. There is an academic entrance exam to get into Chaminade. Chaminade gets more chess players than FOGOs. More school newspaper writers than LSMs.

Jeezus, some people are just plain jerks. Sad how often adults feel the need to knock a kid for no reason. Did that post make you feel better about yourself, a-hole? The kids going to college, that's impressive in it's own right.

Is that an elephant in the room? you don't think the kid and parents don't know their kids are not going to Duke? C'mon, It's great that there are plenty of places to play at the appropriate level!

I guess your son is going to Yale? Harvard? That school happens to be an up and coming program with a very well respected Head coach. It is also a solid academic school with a gorgeous campus. Think before you type.
I edited posts commenting about a kids choice of school. I asked that no comments would be made about schools. Some people just don't have the reading comprehension that I would expect them to have. I do my best to protect the kids.

Great list! great schools! again this is apples to apples... Junior / Senior classes no Sophomores involved for the comparison. So if you compare to Chaminade they still have 9 more total between the 2 classes
One of the Chaminade greats Sean Cerrone scored only 7 goals as a junior as he was playing with the likes of an extremely talented senior class. This years seniors played in the shadow of an explosive offensive unit last year. Saying NO PLAYERS NAMES isnt a big scorer may have been true last year as he played behind a senior led offense, but this year I bet the juniors that got minutes last year will be HUGE.

I don't know him personally, but he seems to be doing well enough. I believe he started most games last year as a freshman.

I have to ask the administrators of BofTC once again why individual players/kids names are ok to use?..I thought there was some sort of 'rule" against using individual kids names--for good or bad postings?...maybe some clarification is in order?

Not sure if you are comparing last year's jr mids to Cerrone but if you are that wouldn't make much sense. Cerrone was a Newsday All-Long Island player. An Under Armour all American. Again, those guys are good but they don't compare.
Also, I wouldn't call last year's offense explosive but for one game (the championship game). You must have missed the Manhasset game or the Ward Melville game. Not really explosive.

That was rough! Was really just wondering if the success in HS translated to college, seems as it has. Oh, and my life going just fine, thanks for asking!

Let me say this.. There are moderators that would allow mention of a child. Most of us do not. There is no rule, we are just ruled by our sense of right and wrong.
Thank you moderators for being on top of the naming kids issue.
thought they mentioned a kid----in the earlier post...maybe I misunderstood if that was current player at Chaminade...

Chaminade is a club team playing PAL teams and they want to beat their chests. It's hysterical!! West Islip, Massapequa, Greenwich, Ward Melville, Manhasset, Yorktown. Those parents have to buy houses in those towns vs deciding when their child is entering 9th grade to pay the Chaminade tuition. Chaminade should be 6-0 against those teams, right?

With all due respect, you still have mentioned DELETED in posts on this page.. You may have changed the original post with his name, but the quick quotes that came before you changed the original still show his name in them.

Kids do go there from all over for the reason to play lacrosse. Why? Who knows, unless they have a weak local program. Their science clubs don't win anything, so I don't know why a kid would flock there for that when publics like WM are blowing up the science fairs?? And they have girls!

While I am convinced this was in fact written by a Cham dad, this might be the most accurate and truthful post I have ever seen on BOTC.

"so I don't know why a kid would flock there for that when publics like WM are blowing up the science fairs?? And they have girls! "
how about because maybe the boys and their parents want a top-flight education that is rooted in religious doctrine?...not getting too deep here but possibly that is why kids who aren't lax studs go there?...and also why kids who ARE lax players too?...

That's right and the competition is fierce, little Joe Smith over there from Saint Susan Tabernacle School in Wyandanche is a terror on the lax field, but he was really brought over because you should see him bang out those Hail Mary's, did a whole rosary in 3.72 minutes a new record!

Its the parents that beat their chests. And you are going to compare 1700 all boys at Chaminade vs approximately 1000 boys at WI and 1200 at Pequa? Granted there are plenty of geeks that attend Chaminade. But you are not going there to play lacrosse as a mediocre player. You will be cut, immediately. No one goes to Chaminade to just be on the team, like many public schools. The pool of "lacrosse" players at Chaminade dwarfs that of 99% of the public schools. Add to the fact that the Express is a feeder system and a HC that has been there for 100 years and yes, they should win every game.
With the highly touted and talented 2018 class at Chaminade, does that means the 2019's only get one year at Varsity. Did that have any impact on the 2019 class?
Honestly, you have no idea what you're talking about. Standout lacrosse players at Chaminade represent a tiny fraction of those 1700 boys. Overall, the talent pool is strong (nobody argues that) but does not "dwarf" large publics in lacrosse-centric towns like WM, WI, Smithtown (both) where tons of kids have lacrosse sticks in their hands from the time they are in diapers. Many of these kids grow up together, play together and go to public HS together. You cannot quantify the benefit of this. Ultimately, lacrosse at this level comes down to great coaching and 4-5 standout kids who can make or break a team’s success. For example, how can Boys Latin in Baltimore - with 300 boys in the entire high school - perennially be one of the top teams in the country? By your logic, this could never happen. Can you explain this?
But you have to be Catholic.
So the they can get kids from anywhere is somewhat diluted.

Very easily. I'll go slow for you. Like Chaminade, it is a private school. Top lacrosse players attend because of their reputation, coaching, and ability to get D-1 looks. Enrollment only matters at the public schools. Sure you will have periods of time when a group of kids come up together and dominate. But not every year. Syosset was down, now up, Massapequa down, then up and probably taking a step down again after their State Championship. Also, the youth program and coaching is essential to the town teams. Some say the youth coaches and directors at WI 10 years ago were crucial to their five state championships . Chaminade (and Boys Latin) for that matter will NEVER have a down period. They don't rely on elementary school enrollment nor the quality of youth coaching. Only the best lacrosse players go to Chaminade. The pool of talent is greater than any public school. Unless you can tell me Syosset, Massapequa, Northport, Connetquot, or SWR can form a JV A and B in which the B team of younger players can beat the A. Stop with the nonsense. Chaminade should never lose and always be in the top 15 nationally. Like the Haverford School, the number 1 team in the country last year, with an enrollment of 438. The best lacrosse players in the area attend, as opposed to praying that a bunch of kids who grew up together and are exceptional (like Farmingdale of the early 2000'), show up for public high school practice in 9th grade.

Your logic is spot on. Don't waste your breath trying to explain it to these guys. They never learn because they are incapable of learning. Indeed, if you go back to prior BOTC posts relating to Chaminade say 4 months ago or a year ago, you will see the same drivel again and again. Because there are 1700 hundred boys attending the school, Chaminade should never lose. And if they do lose to a public school loaded with high level Division 1 recruits like a Ward Melville or Greenwich, Chaminade is mocked. Whatever.

You had better be, because if you aren't, they cut you!
What is wrong with making cuts? Kids get cut in other sports like basketball and baseball all the time. Has been that way for decades. I guess everyone needs to get a trophy too. The wussification of America........

I took his comment differently. But I see a different bad side. I see kids not trying and giving up before the cuts because they think they will get cut that is worse
What I find interesting are those who toss stones at parents who decide to send their child to one of the Catholics. Its their choice the student took the entrance exam and passed for whatever school that they were accepted to. Whatever the reason its their choice and in no way effects anyone but themselves. They still pay their taxes in the town they live in. They incur the extra expense of paying to go to a private on top of their other expenses. Some want to go for academics, athletics, the tradition of the catholic school education and experience. Its not for everyone and that is why you see kids returning to their public schools. The reasons vary but it does happen. I find those who knock the Catholic schools have some underlying agenda.
Jealousy is the underlying agenda

The idea is that as a Freshman in HS if you want to play Lax and you are living in the Chaminade fantasy world that your HS lacrosse life can be ended the first spring that you show up at the school tryouots. And many a good player gets cut and then has to stay because his parents don't want to tell the neighbors.
While this may be mostly true, the process isn't quite so severe . The freshman/ jv has quite a few players in uniform for first couple of years. probably more than 80 - 90. the parents have the enjoyment of the tailgates, wearing Chaminade swag etc. so its not so very painfull jr year when it gets whittled down.

And!! Thats the chance they took. Saying that they stay because they don't want to tell the neighbors is B.S. Everyone knows who makes the team and who doesn't. At least they took the chance and tried. Not everyone makes teams and I think parents need to get used to this. Its not an everyone makes a team and gets a trophy house league. Many talented kids get cut. Most parents don't make getting cut a teaching moment, rather they get bitter and scream foul. How about a player had a better tryout. It happens but if your not used to it its hard.
For all the geniuses on here who "know" Long Island lacrosse, I have one question. Give me all the teams on LI, public and private, that have cuts and still field not only a JV A and B, but where the B can beat the A? And by the way, they would have a Varsity A and B if they could ever get teams to agree to play their B team. It's only a matter of time, before we see three school buses show up at away games.

both the freshmen and JV teams carry between 44 to 46 players each not 80/90 each

I'm no genius, but I think the only other school that meets this description is St. Anthony's. What is your point? That a lot of kids try and play lax at these two schools? Not really a revelation! At Chammy 100+ kids typically try out for the Freshman team. 25% will have little to no experience. The rest will be solid - some very talented, others were above average to average. Probably ~30 kids who are decent players will get cut. Nature of the beast. Probably no different at Holy Tony's
BTW - there is no way a JV A team (freshman) beats a JV B (sophomore) team. I doubt even the vaunted Chammy 2018 class could make that happen.
and so the lacrosse gods have spoken --it must be that every kid who plays lacrosse (or wants to play lacrosse) and goes to Chaminade (or any other private school) must be there for that reason and that reason alone....not the tradition, the academics, the Catholic school experience, the opportunities that may not be available in their public school -- just for the lax. So if a child (gasp)actually gets cut for whatever the reason and does NOT go back to public, it is because of parent embarrassment, not because there is more to high school than LACROSSE. How did we all miss that in our decision making process???? oh, now I get it...so my kid (and us) are not in school with people that think that way (and that includes you). Full disclosure - we are a Catholic school family
That's 90 isn't it?

The catholic schools need a separate conference for Holy Trinity , Kellenberg, St. John's this way these teams can play competitive games instead of being beaten up every year by Chaminade and St Anyhonys
The players that get cut can't be any better than the public kids that get cut. Why? Because Chaminade loses to publics, so that is a reflection of player quality. And as for these "super" sophomores, talk to me after they Play against the big boys. Of course the seem good because Ty Xanders says so. Remember, most have them have no clue how different it is to play varsity, as opposed to only your own age group.some of them will have a tough time due to their size.
Take a look at a D1 lacrosse roster, especially an IVY league roster and take note of how many kids are private school/prep school kids vs public school kids. The simple fact is private/prep schools offer a better education and prepare kids for the next level academically. Lacrosse is a small part of the decision in sending your child to a private/prep school. To be sure there are fine public schools but overall private/preps offer your child a competitive advantage academically. Chaminade happens to be a 1st rate academic institution and you cant knock anyone for wanting to send their kid there, lacrosse or no lacrosse, they just happen to also have an outstanding lacrosse program as well.

It's more of a fact that the private school parents will fork over the money to pay for an Ivy League school. That is why they get more kids. Not that their kids are smarter from the private school education

Lmao! So what youre saying is that public school kids are getting accepted but wont go to some of the worlds best colleges because they dont want to pay the tuition? It is a pretty well known fact that the Ivies are very generous with financial aid for families that cant afford it. Their philosophy being that if a kid can get accepted the sole reason he/she cant go will not be money. Having said that I wasnt insinuating that prep/private school kids are smarter at all, simply that those schools do have better academics in most cases and college admissions offices tend to look more favorably on a prep/private school.

I've got kids going to both, prep and public, as well as being in prep HS myself. The biggest difference is the networking club of alumni that you become part of at a prep. When I went for my interview for an Ivy with an alumni, it was much less formal, less intimidating and a lot different than my friend's interview who attended another school. Job networking is also key. It's being a part of "the network" that you don't necessarily get from a public. That said, both can offer outstanding educational opportunities, as well in the arts, athletics etc. Public schools get state and fed money, and can use it to build state of the art labs, buildings etc. Preps get alumni donations and tuition. They have the ability to do the same, the difference being, they don't have to adhere to the state and fed mandates and do what they believe best suits their current and future student body. If in a good district, you can have a great experience, but the networking is the difference, and it is certainly helpful.

Lmao! So what youre saying is that public school kids are getting accepted but wont go to some of the worlds best colleges because they dont want to pay the tuition? It is a pretty well known fact that the Ivies are very generous with financial aid for families that cant afford it. Their philosophy being that if a kid can get accepted the sole reason he/she cant go will not be money. Having said that I wasnt insinuating that prep/private school kids are smarter at all, simply that those schools do have better academics in most cases and college admissions offices tend to look more favorably on a prep/private school.
I've got kids going to both, prep and public, as well as being in prep HS myself. The biggest difference is the networking club of alumni that you become part of at a prep. When I went for my interview for an Ivy with an alumni, it was much less formal, less intimidating and a lot different than my friend's interview who attended another school. Job networking is also key. It's being a part of "the network" that you don't necessarily get from a public. That said, both can offer outstanding educational opportunities, as well in the arts, athletics etc. Public schools get state and fed money, and can use it to build state of the art labs, buildings etc. Preps get alumni donations and tuition. They have the ability to do the same, the difference being, they don't have to adhere to the state and fed mandates and do what they believe best suits their current and future student body. If in a good district, you can have a great experience, but the networking is the difference, and it is certainly helpful.
So what you are saying is the teaching at public schools from the teachers that have masters and without a doubt are way more qualified then at the very least the catholic schools is not up to par. They just get paid a lot more???. Why won't the Catholic schools pay as much as public??. You are wrong about the financials. Most people don't qualify for the aid unless you make very little

Chaminade and Kellenberg students don't take NYS regents exam because they have convinced the state that there testing is a more difficult, comprehensive curriculum. I'm sure their SAT scores match up very favorably vs publics and for every great public school teacher there are 4-5 that mail it in once tenure kicks in - in a nut shell there is no longer any accountability for the students, teachers or administrators in the publics - that's the sad truth about where this country is going

Make over 100K per year and you will be screwed and need to pay 50k per year for your kids education

I'm no genius, but I think the only other school that meets this description is St. Anthony's. What is your point? That a lot of kids try and play lax at these two schools? Not really a revelation! At Chammy 100+ kids typically try out for the Freshman team. 25% will have little to no experience. The rest will be solid - some very talented, others were above average to average. Probably ~30 kids who are decent players will get cut. Nature of the beast. Probably no different at Holy Tony's
BTW - there is no way a JV A team (freshman) beats a JV B (sophomore) team. I doubt even the vaunted Chammy 2018 class could make that happen.
The point is the two schools you mentioned have a pool of kids the publics don't have. That's it. Those schools will never be down and should win just about every game like Haverford and Boys Latin.

The Ivies work on a sliding scale for need based financial aid from the SCHOOL itself, not the FAFSA. It is true if you make over 100k you wont get squat from the government but the schools base your aid on your complete financial picture and your ability to pay.

I have have a son who is a Chaminade alum. When he attended Chaminade, I will concede that I never heard him or any of his friends say that they loved Chaminade. The school is a grind. However, every single one of them -- to a man -- say that they want their sons to attend the school. Very telling.

Yes, so their kids can hate high school too. And not only hate high school, but get cut from the team, when you would start on your town team (it happened). Sounds like a memorable childhood to me. Hope they all become presidents of banks, high priced attorneys or hedge fund managers.

LOL
There are very few town school teams that have the luxury of making cuts. Most are begging kids to come out just so they can have a normal practice. Most can't even have a full field scrimmage due to numbers. GC, Manhasset make cuts on JV as well as Varsity.

Exactly. The Chaminade numbskulls don't understand that with their high priced eduaction.
The ones that love Chaminade don't waist their time on ridicilious discussions like this! I have heard MANY boys who attend Chaminade right now that are very happy.

Does your kid go to Chaminade? Is he happy? How big is his waist? lol

Looks like you didn't "waist" your time on "ridicilious" discussions at Chaminade either.
When do Chaminade varsity begin tryouts? how long do they go on for before settling on roster?

Why? are you considering going to tryouts as a walk on? Start Saturday the 5th.... No one knows for sure how long

I don't get the "waist" reference.
Yes, excuse the typo. I look about 3 times a year on this site. Good day.
So what you are saying is the teaching at public schools from the teachers that have masters and without a doubt are way more qualified then at the very least the catholic schools is not up to par. They just get paid a lot more???. Why won't the Catholic schools pay as much as public??. You are wrong about the financials. Most people don't qualify for the aid unless you make very little [/quote]
Oh boy, I guess you have never looked at an IVY's financial aid page to know how utterly incorrect you are.
https:/
Who Qualifies for Aid?
Applicants receive aid based on their families’ financial need. We do not use income cutoffs when determining whether to award aid. Any student whose family feels unable to afford the full cost of attendance is encouraged to apply for aid.
Even a family earning over 250K with another child in college will get a grant which would cover 43% of the tuition bill.
Boom, you just went there! 800lbs gorilla - Will they pull up the soph's[/quote]
The junior and senior classes are fine. Great players in both classes. Until proven this group of sophomores is just going to have to wait it's turn like everyone else. Heard a few sophomore lax dadies tried to petition to have their sophs play varsity this year. [/quote]
As an FYI the current junior class went 33-0 the past 2 seasons - the first time in Chaminade history. No need for the sophomores to move up. They will be fine...

with 12 D1 commits in the junior class.... yes the sophmore class also has commits but will need to wait there turn as all have before
no need to be so sarcastic. just wondering if someone I now will be invited to tryout out for Varsity.
prediction around is that several sophs. definitely up on varsity. offensive players

won't happen.... unless there are injuries. How many times have Sophomore's been moved up at Chaminade in the last 30 years? I bet you can count it on 1 hand......
Why move anyone up? They have all the same cookie cutter players throughout the rosters.

A current junior attackman broke the all-time freshman scoring record. He was not brought up to varsity as a sophomore. Again, I think there offense will be fine without any 10 graders. You will just have to wait your turn like every other Chaminade class...

Let's be honest, the bottom line is that HS lacrosse means nothing compared to club lacrosse..sometimes the play is so bad it looks like PAL all over again.. Kids can pad their stats sometimes because they are playing against kids that are out there to be with their friends and no other reason. I thought it would be better but it's much more enjoyable watching the club teams.. So your stats mean nothing at all

Some food for thought on the HS vs club lacrosse thing. In club lacrosse, 9th graders play against 9th graders. 8th graders against 8th graders. For all the videos I've seen of early commits on club teams, I would love to see these 9th grade phenoms play against 11th and 12th graders. That's only happening in HS. So padding of stats happens on club teams too, especially when one very good team is matched up against a poor team. Seen it way too often.

Is that kid one of the 12 that committed from 2017?

Let's be honest, the bottom line is that HS lacrosse means nothing compared to club lacrosse..sometimes the play is so bad it looks like PAL all over again.. Kids can pad their stats sometimes because they are playing against kids that are out there to be with their friends and no other reason. I thought it would be better but it's much more enjoyable watching the club teams.. So your stats mean nothing at all
"HS lacrosse means nothing compared to club"?
Huh?

Are we talking against Brentwood, Deer Park, Copiague, Longwood, Pat Med, Malvern, Wheatley, Uniondale, Hempstead, Island Trees, St Marys? Then yes, I'd rather watch PAL and stats are being seriously padded.

Huh?
When Chaminade JV plays St. Anthony's JV there are college coaches in the stands. It is a recruiting event. College coaches know the schools' philosophies about (not) bringing up under classmen. Wake up and stop worrying so much about labels!
all time freshman scoring record? really Dad? you track that list?

Chaminade's JV schedule includes schools with tremendous long term success. In addition to St. A's, Delbarton, Fairfield Prep, Greenwich and Y-town all have talent worth watching.
Probably a step above most club games.

Frankly, there have been as many college coaches at the Cham/SA freshman game as there have been at the Cham/SA JV game. I believe that Duke had coaches at the freshman game late in the season but not the JV game.

It is.... Last years game at Chaminade there were over 30 coaches in attendance. To me that qualifies as a recruiting event.

its not cookie cutter when the sophomore class has more D1 recruits than the upper classes have .
its a very strong group. they may stay down on jv which is fine, but the jrs are strong group as well.
I can't imagine what fun the parents of the All Time Freshman scoring record holder will be like in the stands this year...wow!!!

When/where is the Cham/SA freshman game this year. I cant see the schedules anywhere? I am not sure they play the same day as Jv/Var. 4/5 & 5/3 or even if they play twice. Always heard they were good games

If the sophs are soooo good....how come they don't have an all time freshman scoring leader. Or maybe they are all so good they all have the record.
its a mythical record like being the CHSAA State Champion by defeating St.Ants.

If your kid goes to Chaminade and is good he will get looks before he gets to varsity.
So with so many Soph more commits would Soph vs
Varsity be a close game?
Varsity be a close game?

nope!
disagree. unless you mean sophs in a blowout.
if you go position by position...if sophs were on varsity they would be starting all over field.
You are so wrong. Not sure where you are getting your info. Intimidation factor alone being on the same field with the Varsity scares those sophs.
They would get bullied all over the field. There is a reason they are so successful and their process works. Year after year winning records. No need to bring anyone up to fast. And they don't bow to anyone.

These so called super sophs are a product of the early recruiting phenomenon. If the early recruiting stuff didnt happen so early (as in 9th and 10th grade) they would just be committed in 11th grade like all the other great players to play at Chaminade before them. Some great sophs no doubt but until they are tried and tested let them play JV its been tradition for a long time. Chaminade does it correctly.
6 Soph up already on St. Ants. First time for everything these days.
The sophomores wouldn't be able to keep up with the varsity. Just like when the 2018 played the 2017 last year. Chaminade acclimates them to the speed of the game which helps make the program so successful.

Some of them are really small. Will be pummeled if they played up.

If you are in the know, you would remember that the 2017 class beat the 2018 class by 15-17 goals in a shortened scrimmage last year. Where is the change in outcome coming from all of the sudden. There have been no additions and actually a few committed kids have gone back to their public schools. Please let it be known that these Sophomores are great players as are the Juniors. I am not knocking the Sophomores just someone trying to stir the pot or a Sophomore parent who is a bit overzealous. I like to provide facts. This is not fantasy its reality where results occur on the actual field of play head to head.

I am right in these ways.
1. Chaminade does it correctly by letting players develop and then bring them up. Yes there are the really truly exceptional players that have been brought up in the past. I think that these players might have filled holes or added depth that was not on the varsity during that year.
2. Both the 2017 and 2018 classes are loaded with talent. You cant deny that. Cant forget the senior class also.
3. 99% of the time kids are fine with waiting their turn. Its certain parents who think that corners should be cut for them. I am happy Chaminade stands its ground against some of these overzealous parents.
2016 class is the weak link ?

From the individual who keeps posting to stir the pot. Why are you so angry? Why are you always posting the same crap. The Senior class is not weak. This discussion you started revolved around the Sophomore and Junior class. I was pointing out that we should not overlook the Senior class. They are a great group of players.

With the perceived inflexible environment of Chaminade, does anyone see this as a deterrent to those scholar athletes whom originally may have chose Chaminade. Those scholar athletes may want to play varsity sooner. Does any one think this impacted 2019 or 2020 core of athletes. (yes yes the argument could be it would be hard to hard for '19/20 leap frog those 2018's anyway so it might also act as an excuse for those grades to stay on JV.

Lol. You are pathetic. Your feeble attempt at a comeback is hysterical. Just like a child looking for anything to attack. This moderator actually makes sense when he posts. Can you refute anything he posted. He actually provides facts and makes valid arguments. All while you are a tough guy speaking about his grammer.
Chaminade sophomore are no better than any other grade, or public school kids. Please get over yourselves! You only seem good playing your own age group! Maybe one or two could hang with the big boys, otherwise, you need to pipe down and keep working!

Does anyone know somebody who has a PHD in lax? The skill set isnt woth much after college, so what the end game? There is no end game other than getting into a good school and hoping that you can also compete academically - which is what Chaminade prepares them for!

This has been the tradition. I could understand if it was changed after you enrolled. I dont think it has been detrimental to the placement of players at the next level. The overall recruiting has been stellar at Chaminade. Look how many players they have playing at the top schools D1 and D3. To know what you are getting into and to follow that path is actually kind of a good thing, No? Think about it, you dont have to worry about playing Varsity until 11th grade and no one frowns about it. Parents really shouldn't complain either because it is the way Chaminade has done it for a long time. I think there are always those who think they should be the exception to the rule.

If you want to play varsity sooner......stay in public school. Enough with the over-hyped underclassmen who feel its their right to be brought up to varsity. How about sit, shut up, wait your turn......

This has been the tradition. I could understand if it was changed after you enrolled. I dont think it has been detrimental to the placement of players at the next level. The overall recruiting has been stellar at Chaminade. Look how many players they have playing at the top schools D1 and D3. To know what you are getting into and to follow that path is actually kind of a good thing, No? Think about it, you dont have to worry about playing Varsity until 11th grade and no one frowns about it. Parents really shouldn't complain either because it is the way Chaminade has done it for a long time. I think there are always those who think they should be the exception to the rule.
Parents send their son to a school with a million kids playing lacrosse and then complain they don't take up underclassmen. You want your underclass superstar to shine on varsity? Go to your public school or one of the lesser Catholics. You placed your small fish in a big pond, now pipe down and wait your turn.

If you are in the know, you would remember that the 2017 class beat the 2018 class by 15-17 goals in a shortened scrimmage last year. Where is the change in outcome coming from all of the sudden. There have been no additions and actually a few committed kids have gone back to their public schools. Please let it be known that these Sophomores are great players as are the Juniors. I am not knocking the Sophomores just someone trying to stir the pot or a Sophomore parent who is a bit overzealous. I like to provide facts. This is not fantasy its reality where results occur on the actual field of play head to head.
So I guess this guy's right.
I am right in these ways.
1. Chaminade does it correctly by letting players develop and then bring them up. Yes there are the really truly exceptional players that have been brought up in the past. I think that these players might have filled holes or added depth that was not on the varsity during that year.
2. Both the 2017 and 2018 classes are loaded with talent. You cant deny that. Cant forget the senior class also.
3. 99% of the time kids are fine with waiting their turn. Its certain parents who think that corners should be cut for them. I am happy Chaminade stands its ground against some of these overzealous parents.
With the perceived inflexible environment of Chaminade, does anyone see this as a deterrent to those scholar athletes whom originally may have chose Chaminade. Those scholar athletes may want to play varsity sooner. Does any one think this impacted 2019 or 2020 core of athletes. (yes yes the argument could be it would be hard to hard for '19/20 leap frog those 2018's anyway so it might also act as an excuse for those grades to stay on JV.

I hear you, i do, but do you think some of those truly exceptional LI players are not considering it because there isn't a chance to move up. 2017 had lots of hype as 2018 had, I am sure both thought they would help Chaminade change their stripes and get moved up.
If ever they proved they wont change was with these groups. No doubt for the next 3 years they will be touted as one of the best, if '17 & '18 gel watch out, but what happens after '18's are gone.
In this day & age and era, will they stand fast and fight the revolution which could prove to be the beginning of the end. or will they evolve with the times. Evolution or revolution what will it be!
No sophomore is good enough to start, so there will be neither a revolution or evolution. Daddy ball at it's best!

The strong will survive and Chaminade is an island unto itself. The powers that be will stand steadfast to their way of doing things. Those who attend Chaminade know how they do things. Chaminade has been very successful over the years at lacrosse. Why would they change a working formula? They are not lacking in talent in any class. They will always have the players.

Lighten up Francis.
Times are a changin' in the lax world. In years past, Chaminade never had to face the pressure of their paying customers being recruited earlier and earlier. Their "system" worked in the world when the best kids were recruited in 11th and 12th grade. What's unbelievably ironic is that it was Chaminade's own coaches who started the Express summer club and ignited the ascent of the entire club lax scene to eventually leapfrog their own high school program in terms of recruiting importance and likewise fueling the environment for early recruiting to catch fire. The early recruiting that they themselves helped to orchestrate has now come back to haunt their varsity program to the point where they will have to cave to the pressure of their paying customers not to have Express D1 commits playing against other 15 year olds.

No Chaminade (or other LI "powerhouse") players are being punished for playing freshman/JV lacrosse, at least not when it comes to recruiting. Chaminade still sends more players to the D1 ranks than just about any school in the country.
While players are now committing to schools in their freshman year, they haven't gotten any better when compared to the school's juniors. Why would Chaminade want to move them up to varsity?

Seriously, what do you all care? If your son does not go to Chaminade, why do you care? You chose a public school or other school prep for your kid, others chose Chaminade for the reasons they saw best for their kid. Obviously, we all hope to do what is best by our kids, which means, everyone did what was right for them and what they think is BEST. your best, is not the next person's best. The parents that send their kid to Chaminade and want them to play there know the system and they still sent them. There were other options and those that decide it is not for them will leave. Do they have many kids that go D1- absolutely, but there are other schools as well. Skill will always be the number one factor, but no one can deny the connections of a well established coach, club or school. It is what it is and we all have choices. You want your kid to go elsewhere- then that is great and that is what is BEST for you and your kid, but enough dragging down someone else's choice.

But is a good for a kid's development to be forced to play against average kids if he' s good enough to be recruited by a D1 program as a Freshman?

He would be recruited as freshman based on playing against kids in his own grade. Just because a kids is an early recruit does not mean he's better than an upperclassman that wasn't
Agreed. But that's not answering the question asked. The question is this: Is it beneficial for the continuing development of a freshman that has been recruited by Duke to be artificially forced to keep playing against average players that haven't been recruited?

If you're so concerned with little Johnny playing varsity as a freshman or sophomore, go to public school and stop whining. Ain't happening at Cham.!
Eventually, Chaminade will let their players rise and fall depending on ability, not grade. That includes moving upperclassmen down to JV and Frosh/Sophs up to varsity if ability determines that's the right place. A lot of private schools have no problem having Seniors on JV if they get cut from varsity but still want to play lacrosse. 5 years from now this will be the norm and the current rigid and artificial system will give way to free market forces of natural ability.

There is no question that there will be games when that player is not challenged; however, typically that same player will play against future Div 1 kids when he plays Anthony's (twice), Delbarton, Fairfield Prep, etc. It certainly won't [lacrosse] his development.

Let's be honest besides StA and Chaminade the Catholic league to say at best is week.. If they didn't play any outside games it would be no challenge at all.. They play 2 league games a year and the rest are preparing for teams outside of the league. Just wish some of those kids would go to other schools and make it competitive

I don't understand the resistance that Chaminade and St A's has to change. Programs like Haverford, which would chew up and spit out Chaminade, have no problem with underclass players on varsity. What's the real issue here to the resistance to change? The entire world is changing - lax and otherwise.

Well I think it is. A lot of the early recruiting is based on projected development. Taking a great player in 9th versus 11th just locks them up earlier so no one can get their hands on them. There is no real way to determine if a player will be as good as they were when facing players that are in their own grade maybe a year older. As the player matures does he develop (height, size, more speed, stick skills, and in a multitude of other areas) I have heard it time and time again this year is better than that year or this year is worse. So would a standout player from one grad year be a stand out if he were in another or just average. I wish there was a real way to determine this. What I do know is that If I were to put my son on a field versus himself from lets say 1 year ago, it wouldn't even be fair. Hes grown 5 inches and added 15-20 lbs of muscle. All that while putting in more time on the wall and training.
What is the issue with what Chaminade does? Its not hurting anyone. The team is fine and has been doing fine the way they are doing things. I will say it again, 99% of the time its the parent with the issue. The issue I have is, you knew the way they did things before you signed up to go there. It was no surprise.
Spit up and chew ?? Easy on the drama.
Sorry I meant chew and spit up.
The question begs - why are Chaminade and St A's such outliers in the HS lax world - they seem stuck in an old fashioned way of thinking while others have progressed. There is no doubt that if they don't change with the times, more and more early recruited kids will leave or not even go in the first place. The appearance of stubbornness and hubris will not help them in the long run. Old traditions are made to be broken and yes, I also vote Democrat.

Your right but it is what it is. Not our fault the other teams aren't competitive

There's more to Chaminade than lacrosse. They like to do things the old fashioned way and those who choose to send their boys there like it that way. Change is not the same thing as progress. But I suppose you like 14 year olds committing. And it was obvious that you're a Democrat.

They won't unless they know they will be big time recruited. That's why my son is at Chaminade. Wish I didn't have to have him commute from suffolk county. Especially passing another catholic school on the way. Maybe the new guy at SJB can build something that's closer for my 5th grader.

Can you name a school in New [lacrosse] that's sent more kids to D1 over the last 20 years or so? All of the great publics have relative droughts from time to time, but that doesn't really happen at a school like Chaminade (due to the enrollment numbers and ability to draw from all over the island).
(I don't have a son at Chaminade, but I am a big fan of Long Island lacrosse.)

Haverford was by far the best team in the country in 2015.
In 2014, however, they lost six times (including a loss to St. Anthony's). In 2013, they lost seven times. I take it you never played lacrosse growing up? This is your first son going through the recruiting process?

These kids were going D1 before they went to Chaminade .. They didn't need help from the coaches. They already had the talent

Well what came first the chicken or the egg? The kids who already had the talent wouldn't be going there if the program wasn't already built. What built the program? The coach, the academic reputation of the school and the club team feeder system. Hard to duplicate on Long Island. Success breeds success unless more schools can knock them off going forward. A tall task.

(I don't have a son at Chaminade, but I am a big fan of Long Island lacrosse.)
I don't know if they send more kids to the D1 ranks than any other strong program but I think that both Chaminade and St Anthony's have produced more D1 All Americans than any other LI schools over the past 10 years.

These kids were going D1 before they went to Chaminade .. They didn't need help from the coaches. They already had the talent
Well what came first the chicken or the egg? The kids who already had the talent wouldn't be going there if the program wasn't already built. What built the program? The coach, the academic reputation of the school and the club team feeder system. Hard to duplicate on Long Island. Success breeds success unless more schools can knock them off going forward. A tall task.
What came first and is still the big thing is the club team not the HS teams..sorry
U are dead wrong , my guy did not play for big time club team, started a playoff game
At Hofstra in playoff HS game has a Soph and the phone was ringing like crazy, keep giving
Your money away .

Wow, thats great. Did your son play in summer tournaments or go to recruiting events?
Did he only play HS Lacrosse? Where did he end up going to school?
D1, good school , good money, no club ball, suck it.
I'm surprised your arrogance didn't blow it for your son. Great for him. He is prob a monster athlete and sometimes don't need club . Most of the time kids do unless they are a special athlete.

Many kids do have the talent pre Catholic school but they go to get challenged, both in practice and those non league games. Publics only play 3 or 4 challenging D1 worthy games. Catholics play only 3 or 4 pushovers (yes they are in league).
Best way to prep for D1 is go Catholics (Chaminade and St. Anthony's) especially if from a mid level school district.

The best way to prep is to play a very good club schedule and with good club teammates...The HS schedule is easy compared to that

Club lacrosse is good for recruiting purposes, but to compare club games to high level high school lacrosse is just silly.

Okay, I hear you. I raise your club team comment and see you a HS team who is comprised of at least 10-15 boys who play competitive club lacrosse and the balance also playing on the club circuit.
You say the Club circuit and their schedule are tougher... yes, it may be but practicing everyday with the above mentioned talent on a HS team (like Chaminade/St. Anthony's) has value. On LI, I dont think anyone can argue The best challenge for a dedicated player is playing on a competitive Club team and on one of those HS teams.
Whats going on with the front of Chaminade Jericho Turnpike side. ripping up fields? for new ones?
New science and technology building
outdoor pool
You really think that practicing every day at chammy or st a is any different than WI, WM, SME or SMW? Throw in games against those schools plus conetquot, northport, hhh e and sachem north...throw in non league games against chammy and yorktown...LI publics no worse off than chammy and st a...

You're right, Maybe not at those schools but at any other iof the 43 schools left in Suffolk. If you don't go to those schools and have a lax enthusiast move or go catholic.

Yes, very different. Just check on the number of Devision 1 All Americans over the past five or 10 years. West Islip might compare and Smithtown West put out a great player but that is about it. How many Devision 1 All Americans has Smithtown East produced? (i really don't know). I don't think Ward Melville has produced a Devision 1 All American who graduated HS in the past 15 years. They are all strong programs but they are not preparing their players to excel at the Devision 1 level.

Doms got a good 2019 (surprise) - will likely play Varsity
Doms has nice junior/senior class that should make some noise...SJB is very young..
SJB is young. Heard there are multiple freshmen and sophomores on varsity. Unlike some, they play the best players regardless of class.
In the long run? Chaminade has been producing high quality lacrosse players since the 1970s. The have consistently executed on just about every metric that matters. They execute in the classroom and on the field and yes the send a very large number of kids to great college lacrosse programs. Why would they ever change their ways? Jack Moran has a system that seems to work pretty darn well. I wouldn't hold my breath expecting them to change.
And no my kid does not go to Chaminade.

Listen to yourself. SUBMIT has done nothing. The pool of players there is very shallow as a result they must bring up underclassmen

I can't believe what this once great sport has turned into. Parents arguing with other parents , putting kids down , putting schools ( like Chaminade ) down , it's unreal. People, it's lacrosse. Half the kids don't even want to play anymore because of you and they are to afraid to tell you. I hope you feel good now.
Would you prefer I stoop to your level!!! Please grow up and move on First the oh and we have girls comment Real tough now this Please as I said if you don't like it stay out of it Obiviously you can't handle it Grow up Move on

Are we really talking about science here?? Didn't really think there was much doubt about academics at Chaminade. The better question, how many scientists are there at St Anthony's? That place is all about athletics. By the way, full disclosure, I hate them both.

That's fine. You just set yourself up to get roasted on the evening of April 2nd. Go Flyers!
One would expect Ward Melville to do well in competitions such as this.
1) Ward Melville has a huge number of students (way more than Chaminade per grade)
2) Many of said students are children of Stony Brook faculty and workers (and some of Ren Tech employees). They are obviously going to be very smart due to genetics alone. Public high schools in college towns are always great at showing just how powerful assortative mating can be. Because of this "college town effect," Ward Melville probably has more kids at the top end (~98+ percentile in terms of IQ), yet Chaminade's mean IQ is likely significantly higher than Ward Melville's.
3) Combine this with Ward Melville's ability to leverage certain SBU resources, and WM really should be towards the top of all metrics like this (science olympiad, Intel, math competitions, etc.). Many Long Island publics, WM included, do a very good job supporting students interested in these activities (better than Chaminade I imagine -- Intel/Westinghouse was never even discussed back in my day). Each school stresses different activities, and that's fine. Maybe Chaminade has decided to reprioritize a bit with the new science center, but we'll have to see how that plays out over the next few years.
I say all of this as a very proud C alum who is married to a former Ward Melville salutatorian. We're both agreed that our sons will attend Chaminade when we eventually move back to the Island (the nerdy non-athletes can go to Regis). God help me if I have any daughters.
Now, can we get the topic of discussion back to lacrosse?

Sounds like excuses to me....hope you're not full of them during lax season as well! Typical chaminade parent. If your not the best, there is an excuse. Face it you're paying big bucks but still can't measure up to publics!

Many Long Island publics, WM included, do a very good job supporting students interested in these activities (better than Chaminade I imagine -- Intel/Westinghouse was never even discussed back in my day). Each school stresses different activities, and that's fine. Maybe Chaminade has decided to reprioritize a bit with the new science center, but we'll have to see how that plays out over the next few years.
I say all of this as a very proud C alum who is married to a former Ward Melville salutatorian. We're both agreed that our sons will attend Chaminade when we eventually move back to the Island (the nerdy non-athletes can go to Regis). God help me if I have any daughters.
Now, can we get the topic of discussion back to lacrosse?

Sounds like excuses to me....hope you're not full of them during lax season as well! Typical chaminade parent. If your not the best, there is an excuse. Face it you're paying big bucks but still can't measure up to publics!
So you didn't read what I wrote, then.
Yes...I noticed excuses!
Great story. You sound like a fun guy. I bet your the life of the party.

Again, there are scores of public high schools on Long Island. The same five or six get mentioned again and again.
PS - "big" bucks?

What School was #1 and where is the list?
Thanks
It looks like the competition is approx. 20 different subjects, probably attacked by the team as opposed to individual efforts. Intel, I believe is single student doing single project.
Given Chaminades rank on Bridge Building is am surprised the still need a traffic light for football players to cross Jericho on their way to practice. Build that Bridge!!!
Now let's all enjoy the upcoming Spring lax season, and let's all be civil.
Chaminade at #4 nationally? Is that true?

CSH is better than both this year...
good to know
that's so great to know
I think I saw Haverford lost to Hill Academy.....
Mineola will beat North Shore this year also...
I think Manhasset and GC should move into the modern era. Do away with the old wood stick and get a real stick. Technology is so much better now.
you mean winning county championships long island championships and states...i think GC and Manhasset are doing just fine the last 6 years.
take your zany comments to the correct site . maybe the Boys h.s. site. this is for Chaminade discussions, not some idiotic attempt at humor

Not from GC, but I would think they could play with and possibly beat from 4 on down on any given day.
I'm a huge Chaminade booster, but even I don't see how it makes sense to have them at #4 preseason. They didn't have a "great" last year like some schools (Haverford, Victor, etc.), and they lost a significant percentage of the starters to graduation.
you guys do not know what your talking about, we are the best team in the country.

I am a Chamindade grad and a lax alumni. You are a jackass for making that last comment about your assistant. It's guys like you that give ammo to all the Chaminade bashers. Stop commenting like a moron - you make the rest of us look bad.

There you have it... Seems like this is the kind of attitude that we all know and love from the Chaminade crowd. Did you learn that at your beloved school? Nothing like a little contempt for one's employees. Your sir, are a disgraceful pile of excrement. I'm sure your assistant can't wait to go to work tomorrow.

44 D1 players and you still lose to public schools with 3or4 D1 commits and couple of D3's. How is that even possible? I wouldn't be bragging about that... Also, keep in mind more than half those commits happened to kids when they were in 9th grade. They were seen the summer between 8th and 9th. Chaminade had nothing to do with any of them, those kids were taught by Club and youth coaches. Sorry, try again. Moving forward, the kids will be committed before they even set foot in the door.

Thank you for that post! Chaminade has some amazing talent, as does some publics. No need to beat chests, since most of the top kids are not those of the parents on botc. And all the top kids are pretty much buddies off the field. Just the parents on here causing drama. Please remember it's just a game, and the rivalries make it fun!

Chaminade's numbers have been similar since the 90s. Early recruiting shouldn't even enter the conversation.
let's see how they do vs WI tomorrow. I wonder if it is Kosher for them to be playing during a religious holiday.

I left the Public anonymous (could be any top academic LI school district - Ward Melv, Northport, Smithtown East/West, Syosset, Masapequa, Garden City, Manhasset)
44 D1 players and you still lose to public schools with 3or4 D1 commits and couple of D3's. How is that even possible? I wouldn't be bragging about that... Also, keep in mind more than half those commits happened to kids when they were in 9th grade. They were seen the summer between 8th and 9th. Chaminade had nothing to do with any of them, those kids were taught by Club and youth coaches. Sorry, try again. Moving forward, the kids will be committed before they even set foot in the door.
Chaminade's numbers have been similar since the 90s. Early recruiting shouldn't even enter the conversation.
Ok, Try to follow along here: If the kids are committed before they even step on the field at Chaminade, and years before they ever play a Varsity game, Chaminade will have had nothing to do with them getting recruited. So they aren't Chaminade commits, they are club and town commits. Chaminade is just the beneficiary of them choosing to go there. In the 90's Chaminade was part of the process because no one was recruited before Jr year. The same holds true academically. Chaminade doesn't take average students and mold them into scholars. Just the opposite, they weed out the average students and only take the top students. No learning issues, behavioral issues etc. The students that get accepted are students that would have been AP kids and achieved the same had they stayed in public. Not bashing the school, just stating the facts. Now don't get all in a huff and act like liberal. You know how they hate facts.

Absolutely true! Add to the fact, that parents could care less if there kid actually plays, and you have the masses attending the Big 2. Parents are more interested in being associated with a "winner" than having their kids actually play at the school. Those Chaminade magnets on the back of SUVs are worth their weight in gold. Like the 91 and Express magnets that are next to them.

Again, lacrosse is not the deciding factor for the great majority of Chaminade parents, even those whose sons play lacrosse.

I love my 91 magnets
Do you know how insecure and miserable you have to be in order to be bothered (or even take notice of) magnets on someone else's car?

Who is bothered? It's hilarious!! Whatever it takes for you to finally feel like a winner. LOL
I take it you also find it hilarious when people place Harvard, Stanford, Yale, Princeton or Duke stickers on the back of their cars?

To a degree yes. It's the person that has the same kind of mentality to post all of their children's accolades on facebook. Yet those same people never post anything negative that happens to their kids. And things happen. Especially to other kids in the family, never a word about that stuff. It's just disturbing... be a little humble, at least that's what I was always taught.

So no magnets or window stickers then? How about the one that says "this car climber Mt. Washington"? Is that one OK?

Im sure he loves the Obama/Biden bumper sticker or the little rainbow one.

Are you equating Team 91 to the Ivy League?
Don't see many of those Ivy League stickers on pick up trucks LOL
Not equating 91 to the Ivy League (although my understanding is that 91 players do go to excellent academic schools). Merely pointing out that many, many people place team and/or school stickers and magnets on their cars. The idea that this insecure fellow finds it "hilarious" is absurd. I assume he also has a problem with parents wearing sweatshirts or hats from their kids' colleges. Really warped.

I'll equate it to wearing an Ivy League sweatshirt, if you tell me anyone can go an Ivy League school. Does Princeton and Yale have a "C" team for the lesser students? You know the "money makers" for the school. Parents who pay the same tuition to say their kid attends an Ivy League school. Not. Because I would think there are a whole lot more Harvard sweatshirts out there than Suffolk Community College. Stop with the nonsense. Your 91 magnet and apparel has nothing to do with your kid. It's telling all the drivers behind you, I'm a winner. Unfortunately, it doesn't say which actual team he is on.
So if your son plays Chaminade lax but barely steps on the field, you shouldn't be proud of him? You can only be proud of him if he plays?
Chaminade comes up on the short end of a 7-5 score today playing St. Ignatius from California. Not that surprising as St. I's has a reputation for recruiting.

You're kidding with this excuse right ? How about they were just outplayed. Saint Iggy has 2 D1 senior recruits and 4 D1 junior recruits.

Ignore mom poster above complaining about recruiting. It's a team from California with three losses so far this year.
This is a very disappointing loss for Chaminade. I guess there's always next year.
We must hit the panic button. Bring the Super Sophs up.

Good teams lose games sometimes, there doesnt have to be an excuse attached to every loss.

Plain and simple it's a bad loss for the island in general..you can only learn from this and get better

Chaminade has 44 D1 recruits and they lose to a CA team with 6 D1 recruits??? How is that even remotely possible? Was it coaching? What is going on with that program? Really bad loss. Watch out for St A's...

Agree with the last poster. This is a typical excuse from a "privileged" parent. Sorry your team is not all you dreamed/invested it would be! #realitysetsin
That team took MIAA McDonogh to 4OTs earlier in the week.
Wow, one stupid comment (by me) is all it takes for the fur to start flying......
Maybe what we learned is that you shouldn't rank schools based on the # of D-I recruits they have. It may just be that the coaches from Fairfield, Marist, Etc don't travel out west.

The idea that a two goal loss to St Ig is a bad loss is really ridiculous. St Ignatius is one of the best programs in the country. The team lost in multiple over times against a well regarded McDonough team the other day.
Love when Chaminade loses. Maybe next year, 200 kids will try out LOL

True. Also many kids don't want to come out East to play for a smaller school. Oregon, Arizona State, Arizona, Colorado, Colorado State, Utah all have excellent club teams that are treated like virtual varsity teams, PAC-12 football and facilities.

I thought Chaminade was the best program in the country? At least that is what the Chaminade parents told me! If they are supposed to be the best, this is a terrible loss. And even worse that they had traveled cross country and should have been exhausted from their recent multi OT game. A TERRIBLE LOSS.

What is ridiculous is anyone who thinks counting a list of D1 commits is a measure of quality. The bar isn't high for over eager kids and dads who will pull into lower tier D1 programs or even middle tier D1 programs if they have connected club and prep coaches who can push it hard. Oh, and the lacrosse 'journalists' have a clue about where HS lacrosse is outside of the mid-Atlantic and the Tri-State? Come on. It is ridiculous that any one prep has over 20 D1 recruits, and an absolute joke that one could have 44. Chaminade is a superb program, and ALWAYS has some top players. But 15? 35? 44? Come on. That's marketing and public relations with the twitter whores who cover the sport, most prominently a guy who played volleyball and never stood on a prep or college field. I'm pretty damn good at fantasy football, thank high very much, but Belichick hasn't called. My heart will go on. Maybe yesterday wasn't Chaminade's best day, but the team they played was decent. And no, I didn't see 10 obvious D1 recruits on that SI team. Maybe one to three is a better guess. Frankly, I haven't seen a prep team save for Boys' Latin in 2013 or Haverford in 2015 that had 5-6 OBVIOUS future D1 standouts. I have to say I respect Chaminade's program and coaches for their consistent excellence at the HS level, but I find this parental 'enthusiasm' to be a bit too far into the lunatic fringe. Your sons lost a high school lacrosse game people, and they weren't robbed or cheated. SI was two goals better than you yesterday. It's called sports.
come on , the 44 number was a compilation of several years totals. not this years squad. you can bash but that's what the post was stating .

Not sure what your point is? So D1 recruits are favors and shams? You are so clueless it's scary. You obviously have no idea what it takes to EARN a D1 slot in today's recruiting environment. It's not 1984, when the UVA Coach calls the GC Coach and say's who do you have for me? Not even close. Clearly, you have not been out on the circuit lately, witnessing for yourself, the level of competition from every corner of the Country. It is harder than ever for an on age kid from LI to earn a spot at a competitive program. To insinuate something different, is pure ignorance. It further maligns these young athletes accomplishments. Obviously, your little Rabil is not getting the looks YOU think he deserves...
I would guarantee that there are some moms who go around stating that about this team. "my son is on team with 40 D1 recruits!!!"
But also to imply that a Cal team recruits its players and Chaminade does not is a bit of a joke as well. The state of college recruiting today is such that no college coach can afford the time to go see a high school game when college show cases offer them the opportunity to see players from a broad range of geography all in one place.
Does Chaminade prepare their boys well academically? Yes
Do they produce a well rounded college applicant? Yes
But don't try and tell me they lost because another team recruits. They may not hang a sign out but recruiting goes on none the less. The 40+ D1 signings however are built on pitches all over Long Island, and Chaminade is just the biggest beneficiary of maybe the strongest grass roots lacrosse program in the country.

so Chaminade actually has 40+ D1 recruits on its current roster? nice.

That number includes freshmen and JV players
I love when Chaminade loses makes the day go so much faster, reading all the pile on mail,
Don't think GC has to worry about any D1 coaches calling any time soon especially Starsia lesson learned. The ones that were lucky enough to earn a spot on a D1 lower teir team will be the last for a long time.
hate to burst your bubble but the reputation and legacy does all the recruiting for the coaches at Chaminade. Do parents call coaches yes do coaches call the parents back no. Although kids will tell the coaches they want to come and are trying to come the coaches don't know until the year starts. The coaches have nothing at all to do with the admission process period.
As for the game they lost period. No excuses the other team was better period.
How does it happen
Denver lost to Penn St
Yale is #1
Gc is 0-3
Trump is running for President
Clinton wants to be the second women in the oval office
Stuff happens

Given the number of talented lax players get every year, I think a strong argument can be made that Cham should win more than they do. The 2013 team was dynamite. Div 1 kids at every spot including FOGO and LSM. The second midfield line had kids committed to Harvard, Princeton and Villanova. That team never should have lost a game. My point is that maybe there are other factors that need to be evaluated.

All of you are crazy! Yes Chaminade lost... All games lost are bad! Is chaminade the better team, not yesterday. at the end of the season you hope for a winning record and beating St Anthony's. That being said Chaminade has played 3 regular season games this year St. Ignatinus 9 that is not a excuse but a fact. Let's have this conversation at the end of the season, no one can dispute that Chaminade Varsity is a very talented team this year, does that make them one of the best? Only time will tell, my son is on that team and he was not happy with there play yesterday as was the next teammate. Happy lacrosse season to all and wishing you all a great season.
You been losing big games for the last 4 years, you are just another good high school
Team on LI, time to face the facts, u have one d LP, that would start on an all Long Island team.

I don't think anyone will be needing to worry about Starsia calling anymore in a couple months.

Called being fat and happy with most of the best players competing for limited spots on their roster. Moran will retire and they will not miss a beat. Players win most games. Its the lesser teams that require great coaching. Moran is content on having kids be big time recruited and trade wins and championships with his Express buddy Wieczorek.
Chaminade seems to lose to high quality out of conference teams more often than not. I can't remember the last time they beat tiny Yorktown. I'm betting they go 1-5 against WM, Manhasset, Yorktown, Pequa, Greenwich and Delbarton.

Today is a perfect example. Out of a timeout, why put a shorty on WM's best player? Kid promptly took the shorty and scored to give WM a two goal lead. How stupid can you be??
Chaminade drops another BIG one today! Go public, told you they are better. You just need to face facts and admit it for once!
Time to start a new charter school just for lacrosse players.
Chaminade is not a very good team.

They beat Yorktown last year. At Yorktown. Handily. With that said, today was an atrocious loss.
Chaminade, at least today, looks like a team with a bunch of good players but they sure don't seem like a team with a great player.....particularly on the offensive end.
Seniors should play especially on offense

All Chiefs, no Indians.
Do LI kids just peak early? Lacrosse is so popular and the kids get so specialized and advanced at a young age that once they are 16 years old and into junior year is that all you get? Just wondering. The best club team I ever saw was the 2017 Turtles and the 2017 Express and Team 91 were good too. A lot of those kids are at Chaminade. Is it just an early peak and this is what it looks like when California or others come to town?

Club ball has ruined the game of lacrosse. Everything is accelerated. Third graders are playing year round. And college coaches are falling over themselves recruiting kids that can't bench press a quarter of their own weight. The multi-sport athletes that coaches say they want is a farce. Kids have to play year round now to just compete. People used to be impressed when a 5th grader could play with both hands. Now if your 5th grader can't, he risks being banished to the "B" team. Hopefully, the very kids we are watching on the field now will have the perspective to not get drawn into this madness with their own children. It's our only hope.

Another loss to a public... Good team, great school, very nice kids, just an overrated lax program. Rapidly falling out of the top 10 on LI.

Umm they have 1 loss to a public this year, theyve only played 3 games, lol. Its not their fault that the clueless media folks who cover the sport tend to rank teams based on reputation.

If you happen to live in maybe a dozen or so school districts, or go to a couple of the privates, I would agree with you. However, if you happened to buy a house years ago in a good school district, long before you had kids interested in lacrosse, with just an ok lax program your statement doesn't hold too much water. I can tell you with 100% accuracy, my two son's would never have gotten the chance to play in college. They just wouldn't have been exposed to the people who taught them how to play the game. In our town, the PAL program was awful from a teaching standpoint. Some of the Dads did their best but had no clue. The HS Coach has zero understanding of the College game or the recruiting process. Not a bad guy, just isn't in tune with any of it. To a degree he's kind of threatened by the travel kids, of course those are the best kids on the team, top to bottom. Travel/Club didn't ruin the game, the College Coaches and NCAA are ruining the game. It's very simple, no recruiting until the summer between 10th and 11th grade. In today's environment, if your son is not playing in top tournaments and showcases by the summer between 8th and 9th grade he's already behind in the recruiting process. No way you're getting that exposure playing for your JV team in some low level tournament on LI.
SENIORS!!!! SEE THE LIGHT AND YOU SHALL BE SAVED!!!
Yup, but they're still going to be your boss AND your kids boss. But you can tell them how much better at lax you were "back in the day". Get a life loser.
realistic what is the forecast for today.
Dont want to hear...
St A wins no big deal Chaminade is not as good
Chaminade wins St A is in trouble since Chaminade is not good this year.
I happen to think that close losses to the top school doesn't make a team bad. Especially if WI play a good game against WM

they should turn off the scoreboard and just play , they can enjoy the day and attend a top shelf tailgate after the game. that would be so awesome.

This is pretty obviously the same Syosset parent posting over and over. Now he's LARPing as a Chaminade booster.

We actually do that in the off season. Most of the parents and players on both teams are friends and there is a nice camaraderie among us. We have known each other a long time and our kids have played on travel teams together. No matter who wins or loses, we have each others' backs when the chips are down. It's nice.
I believe it. You give yet another illustration of the class and high level of quality people involved with the Chaminade community!
Down goes Chaminade! Panic on Hempstead Tpke.

Defensively, the team should be fine. Senior goalie (committed to Notre Dame) got a lot of playing experience last year. XXXXXXX a senior defenseman headed to Penn, also played a ton last year. Juniors will contribute defensively as well.
At the faceoff X, Colgate commit was outstanding last year and he is back.
The big question for Chaminade this year is will they be able to score against solid defensive teams. Chaminade's entire 2015 attack graduated . Moreover, while senior middies are solid, gritty players, they aren't big scorers (like say Cerrone or Bonafede or Zenker were in recent years past). In order for this team to do really well, some junior middies (or sophs?) and attackman are going to have to step up.
This post was posted back in February. The post was met with scorn and mocking from Cham dads. "The big question for Chaminade this year is will they be able to score against solid defensive teams." -- I guess that question was answered today. The team simply does not have the offensive firepower needed against a strong schedule like the one Chaminade plays.
The best Jrs are getting time. 2 starting at attack and 2 on 2nd midfield They aren't scoring either

That's loser talk buddy. It certainly does matter who wins or losses. Just watch the replays of the past "championship" games and the riot celebrations by the winner at the final horn. All because "no matter who wins or loses".

I posted this originally and after seeing the game today I stand by it. The offense that I watched today is going to result in low scoring games, and a low number of assists.

Now it is about knowing how to win.
Chaminade looked like a mediocre team nothing special. Very sloppy, only standout was the goalie

Lucky the goalie hasn't seen too many shots due to the methodical offense otherwise they would be giving up 20 goals a game.

I posted this originally and after seeing the game today I stand by it. The offense that I watched today is going to result in low scoring games, and a low number of assists.
I went to both the Ward Melville and St. Anthony's games.
They were both painful to watch: zero off-ball movement, very little actual pressure on defenders when taking them one-on-one, nobody ever looking to set up the feed for a shot, etc. There was no offensive pressure at all the entire St. Anthony's game, just midfielders awkwardly running into their defenders then either losing the ball or moving it on to the adjacent player (who would then do the same thing). Attackmen regularly were doubled when they pushed to the cage, yet I didn't see them once find the open player (nor did I see anyone doing a good job moving to get open when this happened). Even on man-up Chaminade failed to be a threat, settling for terrible shots from 10+ yards out.
Goalie looked good in the cage (had a few big saves while staring into the sun in the 4th), though to be honest he seemed to lack confidence when handling the ball. The clearing game could be better. That said, the defense has done a pretty good job so far. They clearly aren't the problem.
It's crazy that there really did not appear to be a single threat on the offensive side of the field. Are any big players hurt? I know Jack usually gives seniors the benefit of the doubt early on, but are there any juniors who might get a shot? Or who should?
Very Accurate commentary. Looked completely out of sorts even getting people on and off the field. You have 55 on the team, why only use 16? What's the definition of insanity again...?
don't panic. they will run the table in the league. then get rematch with St. Ants.
State Champs once again!!!
State Champs once again!!!
I was at all 3 games Chaminade has lost, I have multiple sons on the lacrosse teams .Although a top Junior midfielder is injured I don't believe you can blame 3 losses on that. The offense right now is stagnant, no movement. seems like no-one wants to try to make a play out of fear of failing.
I have been to the last 3 games - all losses. There is no go-to guy on offense - nobody can take it to the cage. This slow it down, work it around for 3 minutes offense is terrible. They don't have the personnel for that style. They need to run and push. Defense is real good, goalie played very good yesterday but needs to be more consistent. Think the coaches should care more about teaching the kids and making them better than thinking they are lacrosse gods because they coach at Chaminade. They are doing a terrible job with the amount of talent they have. They have been out-coached 3 games in a row. They are in for a long season...
I wouldn't be so sure about that: In the latest 2016 NY private high school academic rankings, Chaminade was #84, finishing behind Regis, Loyola, Fordham Prep, Iona Prep & Xavier

The difference in the Chaminade vs St. Anthony's game was the St. Anthony's goalie. Both teams have strong defensive personal and methodical offenses.
how could they not be dominating? they get the best players from every town on long island.

I disagree. Chaminade has to be the worst shooting team on LI. They consistently shoot stick-side and in one-on-ones in close they always seem to fake high-shoot high - they make it very easy for opposing goalies. The goalies in the last 3 games made a lot of saves but none were very difficult. I agree St. As offense was as bad as Chaminades - neither team was impressive...

First of all, you're responding to a troll poster, not an actually Chaminade parent.
Secondly, while all the schools you listed are similar (except Regis, which is by far the best Catholic high school in the country), I've never heard anyone argue that the other schools were better than Chaminade.
Definitely Regis and Delbarton, maybe Loyola (which is more of a rich kid NYC school than it is a typical Catholic), but in what major metrics would the others beat Chaminade? SAT info is tough to get, but I know Chaminade has had higher TACHS cutoffs than at least two of your schools.

At least SA has a middie and an attackman who can dodge and beat a good defender. I would mention their names (both are excellent players) but for the hysteria than ensues when you mention a kid by name even in a positive light. However, I am sure that the guys who follow Cham and SA know who I am referring to. Cham, on the other hand, doesn't have that type of player this year. No big shooters or dodgers like they had in past years. Very evident in the past few games, particularly at crunch time when you really need a goal. Does anyone know when the Cham junior middie committed to Duke is coming back? Perhaps he can dodge/get separation?

Soph that could help
Chammy plays Doms this week I think....so s/b interesting if they are indeed a weaker squad or bounce back from Anthony's loss...

How about some semblance of reality here? Chaminade 15 Doms 6
By the way, are we supposed to be impressed with Dom's schedule so far? Like beating Stepinac in OT or Lawrence or Plainview?
yeah its everyones goal in life to impress a toolbag

Chaminade does not prep kids for college better than anybody else. Do your research about what happened recently at Colgate.
"Chaminade does not prep kids for college better than anybody else. Do your research about what happened recently at Colgate."
Over 400 graduates per year and you base this on one kid? That makes sense. So you don't think that Chaminade preps kids for college better than ANY high school in Long Island?

A lot of homework does not equal a quality education. It just means that the kids have to learn more outside of class than inside. The parents are fooled into thinking that just because their kids have to stay up past midnight that they are getting a good education bang for the buck. Wrong. More learning at home than actually in class is not the sign of a good school.

Well your team couldn't beat a Cali team, a public, or your arch rival. Revision: Doms 12 Cham 5. How many more losses will they rack up 4, 5,? It's looking like an 8 loss season Chammy Daddy.
But he's at Hill Academy now so it's alright

Those same parents who are fooled also have broad grins on their faces when they receive the acceptance letters from Notre Dame, Duke, Ivies, NESCAC schools, etc. When you write nonsense like this -- with no foundation whatsoever -- do you realize that you make Chaminade parents all the more secure with their decision to send their sons to Chaminade?

Cham mediocre at both lax and academics, sorry to tell you! I know many of you bought into the hype and want to believe the brainwash but f as cts speak for themselves. Public kids excell at pretty much everything, makes you wonder why?
very good JV 10-9 OT game with SA yesterday

I'm a Chaminade grad, and have been an active alum. I am often asked about the school from parents considering it for their young boys. I always tell them that they shouldn't be swayed by people who claim it is this super academic experience. If you are in a top public school (Syosett, Manhassett, GC, CSH, etc..) that you will get just as good an education.
And if your end goal is an Ivy League admission then you'll be frustrated because Chaminade doesn't see the Ivies, and their liberal footings, in the same light that you do. They want you to go to ND, Holy Cross, Georgetown, Loyola, Boston College and the other Catholic colleges. And as a result their relationships with the Ivy admissions offices is non-existent. Of course if you are a star athlete you can overcome this hurdle.
What I do tell them about Chaminade is that there is an intangible in the experience that is tough to explain. The discipline that is part of the daily regimen becomes a badge of honor amongst the boys. There is a pride that they have in being part of the Chaminade family, although most would never voice it while there.
I always laugh because the biggest complainers while there are usually the biggest proponents of the school ten years after they're out. I challenge any one to point out another school in the US who fill 5 golf courses at their golf outings? And let me ask you, is there an alumni office at your school that you can call to get a list of graduates that work in a given field to seek professional help? Does your school have alumni functions in cities across the country to cultivate and develop this network?
There are plenty of great schools, good kids come out of all of them, but I am always perplexed at the degree of disparaging commentary that is directed at Chaminade. You shouldn't trash it without really knowing it.
All that said, yeah this years lax team looks like the pre-season press may have overstated their level of talent. Need some offense.
WM losses because wm coach absolutely lost his ability to manage the game ...coach, look in the mirror before you yell at the team tomorrow.

Well your team couldn't beat a Cali team, a public, or your arch rival. Revision: Doms 12 Cham 5. How many more losses will they rack up 4, 5,? It's looking like an 8 loss season Chammy Daddy.
Cham mediocre at both lax and academics, sorry to tell you! I know many of you bought into the hype and want to believe the brainwash but f as cts speak for themselves. Public kids excell at pretty much everything, makes you wonder why?
Since Manhasset and Garden City are prime hunting grounds for Chaminade, I'd love to see the comparison of SAT/ACTs from those schools with Chaminade.

Certainly higher at manhasset, likely similar at GC.

Sounds like someone couldn't get into Chaminade. Obviously your public school didn't teach you to spell or write a sentence properly.

Correct me if Im wrong but I believe you cannot play JV as a JR? I think Chaminade has 3 Turtle kids on the roster but I could be wrong.
Took a look at laxpower's top 5 teams and their rosters and compared the number of Chaminade kids on each to the number of kids from Massapequa, Syosset, Smithtown East and Ward Melville.
Here are the results:
Chammy Publics
Brown 3 1
ND 1 0
Yale 3 2
Denver 0 0
Albany 0 1
Draw your own conclusions.

what about cornell? Penn state? Stony brook, hofstra? syracuse? fairfeild , marist? sacred heart?
those schools not good enough to make your list?
those schools not good enough to make your list?
please note the blog you are reading. Chaminade lacrosse, so what do you expect?
who replaced the 3 sophs pulled up to varsity
are we pulling sophs up to varsity to alleviate the weakness on offense?
Because Cornell, PSU, Hofstra et al are not in the laxpower top 5. I could have cherry picked...like Duke with 5 Chaminade players.
BTW not a Chaminade guy. I just don't get the comments like "not good at lax not good at academics".
Gotta give credit where due.

For the record, I hate Chaminade and the pompous parents. However, they lost two games in a row by one goal, the second to the 6th ranked team in the tri-state. Stop with the "Chaminade not good at" talk. You all sound like fools. Doms is about to find out in a hurry how good they are.

I really have to say that these Sophomore parents are probably the most arrogant, pompous, group to come through Chaminade in a long time. Do you realize you barely beat St. Anthony's JV 10-9 in OT. This is the same group you crushed last year with the same players. Could it be that some if the St.Anthony's players got bigger and better than that heralded group over at Chaminade. It can't be right. They are all committed. The St.Anthony's JV team only has 1 or 2 committed players.
not bragging if you can back it up.
congrats to the Chammy sophs being brought up! good luck and show the doubters you belong!!

If sophomores have been brought up, where did the upperclassmen go? Or do they plan on having 65 on the sideline? What the [lacrosse], three buses for away games. LOL
word is the sophs are replacing many of the starters while playing the soft part of schedule to prepare for championship

To all you naysayers who said the Chaminade "system" of having only Jrs and Srs on varsity would never change. How you like dem apples? Times are a changin' big time. And it's a healthy thing, not something to be afraid of and to protect an outdated philosophy. Traditions are meant to be broken. Enjoy those Soph parents cheering their studs on that varsity field while the Sr parents stew about the bad decision of moving to Chaminade just for lax. LMFAO.

What championship? Can Chaminade play for a championship if they don't win many games? If so, it confirms what a mess the Catholic league is.
Forget the tradition of playing only Jrs and Snrs. One of the traditions that should be broken before bringing up sophomores is the tradition of playing the exact same offense and style regardless of who is on the team. If you don't have a Cerrone or Bonefede, kids with great first steps and enough strength to run through defenders, then don't run an offense that requires that.
I've watched two full games and I don't think they have a single goal from an unsettled attack. Everyone is afraid to step outside the game plan. Turnovers by the opponents always seem to get fed back to the goalie to begin a clear.
I hope the sophs coming up light it up, if they don't it's going to create some interesting dynamics.
Dont mention a kid by a number and dont narrow it down so its impossible to not determine who your speaking of.

Why would Chaminade coach want to cancel todays game vs Doms on turf allegedly due to poor weather? It stopped raining well before game time!

FYI no Sophomores moved up. Everything was status quo at Chaminade. All players were practicing with their respective squads. No one moved from any teams.
Did I miss something, the so called great team won by 1 against ST A. With 2 kids up.

The way it should be. Although some sophomores show talent amongst their own age group. Playing varsity is a huge step, and they are not likely to stand out or play any better than the current starters. Just because Ty Xanders has mentioned you, it does not mean you will make any impact on a varsity squad. There are maybe 2 players at Chaminade now who could be college All-Americans. Otherwise a very average bunch, not to be compared with stars of the past!

Anything to say? Apparently everything is staying exactly as it was. Have some hot sauce with your crow.......Like the previous poster said, one of the more obnoxious groups around.
listen we all know this years senior class over at chaminade doesn't have what takes to lead a team and win a title this year. they just can't fulfill what the seniors before them did.
DELETED best defenseman in St. Doms history

Playing Varsity is not a "huge step" 9th and 10th graders are playing on just about all of the top public teams.
Ward Melville beat Chaminade Varsity with three freshmen and three sophomores on the field. They also play for the same club teams as many if the Chaminade soph's. Not a stretch to say some of the Chaminade soph's would have a positive impact on the varsity.
It is unfortunate but true, in this day and age High School Lacroose is no longer the most competitive outlet for scholastic age kids.
The top club teams on Long Island draw the top players from many of the top High School teams.
The top 91 and Express teams have some of the best players from Syosset, Massapequa, Ward Melville, Manhasset, Chaminade , St Anthony's, and others. The teams that they compete against have the best players from other areas around the country. Many of the 9th and 10th graders on these teams start and contribute on their respective varsity squads.

If St. A's is starting to pull up Sophs its only a matter of a few days or weeks before Chaminade starts to relax and do the same thing. They need to stop being so uptight that they squeak when they walk - and I'm not talking about their shoes. Relax, the apocalypse won't start when there are 3 sophs running up and down the field for Chaminade varsity.

If the Pope can show flexibility on many historically taboo issues, so too can Chaminade lax show some flexibility. It's going to happen, just a matter of when. Otherwise the parents will be crawling all over the administration there to make it happen. Especially if the team is losing left and right. Since when is a game against Dom's a "Big game". Are you kidding? Things much change if the market forces demand it to.

So not only are you making totally irrelevant Pope analogies, youre actually suggesting that parents will go to the school administration to force the lacrosse coach to bring up sophomores? Im sure that will work out great for your kid.
So sorry. I predicted Chaminade 15 Doms 6. Was actually 13-4. And to the moron that predicted Doms 12 Chaminade 5, don't quit your day job and go to Vegas anytime soon.
I was at Chaminade vs doms game
Never saw so many unhappy parents on a winning side
One dad sitting behind chant bench in stands so coach know he's angry that his kid isn't playing
Doms are class act
Only 20 or so kids
Parents good fans
With one exception a guy who ONLY cheers for his kid
In doms side the worst aspect of a great sport

Ok, maybe not a moron but obviously not someone you would go to to have a knowledgeable chat about Long Island lax. Moreover, I have always found that it is the public school guys are easy to play. They truly believe the conferences they play in are actually good.

No worse than the 2-team joke they call the Catholic "league". Enjoy the beatdown that another small public school is about to deliver to Chaminade tomorrow. Despite the "poaching" that Chaminade does to the Manhasset program, this won't be pretty.

With one exception a guy who ONLY cheers for his kid
In doms side the worst aspect of a great sport
would that Doms parent be 'the whistler"?
Think so
He coaches, refs, calls plays as in pass the ball to guess who
Yells same kids name every play

Hey moderators you should rename this the forum the Public School Dad's Chaminade Haters Club. Very strange how much people resent families that choose Catholic education. Lot of hate (and perhaps jealousy) not much real lacrosse talk. Not sure why but wow.

Lemonade? Huh? Better teams than 'set have beaten Chaminade by 1 or 2 but not crushed. It wouldn't surprise me if the Injuns win but 10? that would shock me.

Chaminade must be the only team resented more than Manhasset. Feel sorry to the Flyers from Manhasset. (I'm sure they're crying all the way to the Men's Grill at Plandome CC)

Often time envy will manifest itself as resentment. I am not so sure it isn't envy all the Chaminade bathers are feeling.

Now there's something we've never seen. A Chaminade supporter saying they wouldn't be surprised if they were beaten by a small public school. Wow. Times are a changin'.

Moron? I think not. Got your panties in a big ole bunch... Love you Chammy guys, so easy to play. Enjoy your win, have a drink, relax. Believe me the kids care way less than you do.
Ok, maybe not a moron but obviously not someone you would go to to have a knowledgeable chat about Long Island lax. Moreover, I have always found that it is the public school guys are easy to play. They truly believe the conferences they play in are actually good.
No worse than the 2-team joke they call the Catholic "league". Enjoy the beatdown that another small public school is about to deliver to Chaminade tomorrow. Despite the "poaching" that Chaminade does to the Manhasset program, this won't be pretty. [/quote
Well, actually it is far worse simply because the "2 teams" schedule out of conference games against Delbarton, Darien, Fairfield Prep, St Ignatius, New Canaan, etc., etc., etc.

And... you lose more of those games than you win. Then you collectively puff out your chest about winning against the number 5 or 6 team in a public league. Too Funny. If you are a "national power" you need to play and beat other "National Powers"... on a consistent basis. If you can't, then your just a very good regional team. So which is it?
Is Delbarton a "national power?" They are 2 and 4 vs Cham the last six years. I believe during that time period they have won multiple state championships and placed many, many players in top level college programs. You tell me. National power or very good regional school?
A kid from my town played at SA as a freshman. Started for the SA freshman team. He was the 7th leading scorer on SA's freshman team. He did not score one single point -- not a goal, not an assist -- against Chaminade (multiple games) or Delbarton. He then left SA and went back to our local high school for 10th grade. He made varsity as a soph and started. Not only did he lead the team in scoring, he was one of the top scorers in Suffolk County. Same was true as a junior and as a senior. He earned an athletic scholarship and now plays Div 1 lax (although he is seeing very little playing time right now as a frosh). Those are facts. Draw your own conclusions…...
Chaminade a "national power"? That's the funniest thing I'll hear today. Dream on.
Lets see if they can even beat a small local public school district that they mine for talent every year before we crown Chaminade a "national power". We'll know by about 8pm tonight.
How is "national power" defined?
Do previous years count? If yes, how many years are you allowed to go back in time?
Does number of college recruits factor in?
Does number of Under Armour All Americans matter?
Does performance of alums in college matter?

Who cares
Apparently the guy who claims that Cham parents proclaim Chaminade to be a national power. I guess he cares because he goes home at night, pops open a natty lite and stews about his inferiority complex.
National caliber? LMFAO. Just another pebble in the road.

Conclusion: Except for a relatively small number of public school teams per year, the competition on LI is not good. In order to play a truly competitive schedule , teams need to travel off Long Island.

Im gonna have to disagree with you about the relatively small number. I would venture to say there at least 25-30 solid lacrosse programs across Long Island. Other than Maryland we have the largest concentration of quality lacrosse in the country. The challenge for each coach is to make sure he is challenging his team each year with a quality schedule in and out of conference.
why does MSG keep getting the roster class wrong? Goalie is a senior not junior. He's been announcing ever Chaminade game messing it up.
Chaminade was roadkill today for a small public school. My how things have changed.

Other than the two biggest ones (Chaminade and St. Anthony's) whose the 3rd best team in the Catholic league right now? I have not been following lacrosse to well this past year and need to get caught up, but i would like to hear different people opinions!
I think winning makes you a national power. Win your league/conference/county/state, you are a good team.

Says a Sophs Dad........give it a rest already
Chaminade should be embarrassed. I have watched the tapes of several games recently - I watched a Flyer stick out his foot to deliberately trip a St Anthony's player after the play - the officials didnt notice. Watching the Manhasset game live and on the replay the number of check, pushes and punches in the back after a shot or pass were complete were astounding. People in the stands were suprised that the officials were calling such a loose game - several people expressed concern that someone would get hurt and then - it happened..
The hit to the head on the Manhasset attackman when he was vulnerable in the process of shooting only looks even worse on the replay than live. No excuse for that.
In football that would be called targeting - the player would be thrown out and suspended for the next game as well.
We need that in lacrosse -
shame on the officials for not throwing the player out of the game and shame on the Chaminade coaches for tolerating the persistent dirty play.

Easy with the drama Mommy. I watched the same game you did. Chaminade got their [lacrosse] kicked by a better team yesterday. That is not up for debate. But to imply that they are a dirty team and the coaches tolerate it is totally ridiculous. You have zero clue what these coaches are about. The Cham kid laid a hard but clean hit on that attackman. He was not headhunting. The Cham kid got a two minute non-releasable, which was more than enough. Contact is part of the game. Sometimes it gets a bit aggressive. Deal with it or find another sport. FFS.
Mike Quick commented about the Chaminade kids playing for their HS team NOW instead of caring about what team they'll be playing for next year or in 2 years.
Called them right out.
There are kids at the end of the bench with real desire to play for their team and school now and wear those colors with pride. They could probably have a similar record this year too.
p.s. don't have a kid on team

Bringing up sophs is not the answer. This is not a 1-2 player fix. It has been many many years since Cham has lost 4 in a row. With Cham schedule you are only putting those sophs in harms way.
Unless the moved from Maryland and are 18 already

I agree with your post. definitely sounds like so many daddys and mommies sitting in stands without a clue about how the game is played or rules enforced. they continuously call out things that they find "unfair" and act as if they know what the rule is for pushing, slashing etc. meanwhile they only cheer for their child, coach , (shout) to direct others to pass the ball when their kid doesn't have it. Ignoring the fact he won't move from statue like spot then yell shoot it when the kid gets it, or hit him when they drop ball and turn it over.
These days, a big hit = penalty. Yesterday during the ND-Duke game Percovic laid out a Duke middie. Hit him with his shoulder -- completely clean hit. Penalty. It is what it is. That is 2016 lacrosse.
PS -- Maybe some of the extracurricular activities would stop taking place if the Manhasset kids would stop doing the Cam Newton/Superman act after they score? Been watching that for years now.

Wasn't a penalty. Called interference. Change of possession.
Don't blame the celebration for bad behavior. If you find it that offensive, stop them from scoring!!

If you were paying attention Coach C was not happy with all the crap on the sidelines after a score. He is not big on excessive celebrations after a goal either. If you know him and I do you could hear him say act like you been there before.
The day was about something so much bigger and both staffs have great respect for each other.

Nobody,

cares about that.
Except you.
hahaha...that's outstanding! she should go bang on the pressbox door next time, or cancel her cable!!
Watched game on msg, maybe some of you parents should stop talking about Chaminade building character in the boys and have them start showing some. You've beaten this team 4 years and a row and you lose one and there's cheap shots all over the field. The film doesn't lie.

Yes, it's very unfortunate our children have been emulating these childish, millionaire professional athletes for decades now.

First off, you need to get a life. What psycho parent is watching multiple game films of a school that their kid doesn't go to. I feel bad for your wife and kids if you are so into this that you have the time and the inclination to do that. You must be a pretty lonely guy standing by yourself at the games. Good luck with the eventual heart attack pal when your kid isn't playing anymore and you have to figure out what to do with your time.
Secondly, the Superman act is so 2014. Also, from what I've heard the Manhasset kids are always the chirpiest and constantly poking the beehive. You do that enough you are going to see retaliation. Tell your kids to shut ear mouths and just play ball. They seem to lie to dish it out but they also have a very short fuse when their opponent punches back. Thin skinned.

Hitting a defenseless player in the head from behind is not only illegal but dangerous. The same Chaminade player was targeting kids on St'A's. He should have been kicked out of the game and suspended. Zero tolerance for that type of behavior.

Just to be accurate, Perkovic did not get a penalty, the refs inexplicably blew the whistle and gave the ball to Duke. The announcers couldnt even figure out what they called, but it wasnt a penalty

Ok Manhasset mommy / daddy. Go back and watch the tape. I was there. Clean hit. The kid took a good shot and walked off the field. Stop your crying and enjoy the win.

Typical over protective, helicopter Manhasset parent who never played the game. Can smell them a mile away.
"If you know him and I do you could hear him say act like you been there before."
Well, he has lost control of his team then, hasn't he? The freshman middie at Penn was doing the Superman act for years. Obviously, Coach C did zero to shut that down and it is still going on.
Look, Manhasset played great yesterday and destroyed Chaminade. Kudos to them. But, like Coach C says, "act like you have been there before."

Aren't a lot of these chaminade kids committed to big time schools? With them losing do these college coaches start thinking maybe I made a mistake. Early recruiting will show its true colors.
Manhasset people act as if they own the sport and are holier than thou. Get over yourselves. You have the dirtiest, chippiest players around. Don't try to dish it if you can't take some back.

Agree. Learn to let your kid go and fight their own battles. You don't need to defend them on here - they can defend themselves, or they should be able to anyway. If they can't by now, they are in big trouble. Too many parents think they need to coddle, protect and control their kids from cradle to grave (their own grave). You are doing your kids a huge disservice.
Chammy parents bitter because this team will leave behind a losing legacy. You should play your JV team. You may win a game and if they beat you let them finish out the varsity season.

The hit to the head on the Manhasset attackman when he was vulnerable in the process of shooting only looks even worse on the replay than live. No excuse for that.
In football that would be called targeting - the player would be thrown out and suspended for the next game as well.

Percovic laid out a Duke middie. Hit him with his shoulder -- completely clean hit. Penalty. It is what it is. That is 2016 lacrosse.
PS -- Maybe some of the extracurricular activities would stop taking place if the Manhasset kids would stop doing the Cam Newton/Superman act after they score? Been watching that for years now.
First off, you need to get a life. What psycho parent is watching multiple game films of a school that their kid doesn't go to. I feel bad for your wife and kids if you are so into this that you have the time and the inclination to do that. You must be a pretty lonely guy standing by yourself at the games. Good luck with the eventual heart attack pal when your kid isn't playing anymore and you have to figure out what to do with your time.
Secondly, the Superman act is so 2014. Also, from what I've heard the Manhasset kids are always the chirpiest and constantly poking the beehive. You do that enough you are going to see retaliation. Tell your kids to shut ear mouths and just play ball. They seem to lie to dish it out but they also have a very short fuse when their opponent punches back. Thin skinned. [/quote]
Actually Percovic was not penalized, but should have been. Duke player did not have possession of the ball. That hit, while technically legal, shoulder to chest, was akin to a linebacker hitting a defenseless player in football, fortunately the kid was not hurt. Further, any hit of an attackman after the shot is released, is the same thing, and always a cheap shot... Paybacks are a [lacrosse]. I always remind my son to remember the cheap shots in your riding game, always fun for him to level a cheap shot defenseman when he's trying to clear the ball.

Wow, I couldnt possibly disagree more. COMPLETELY fair and legal hit on the Duke middie by Perkovic There was nothing defenseless about the kid, he was running straight with the ball in his stick, the ball came out a millisecond before Perkovic laid his shoulder into him. People like you are why every time 2 kids run into each other and fall down a flag comes out. Lacrosse is a contact sport, thats what they wear equipment. Additionally not every hit after a shot is a cheap shot. There is a time and a place for hitting and not all of it is cheap or dirty. If you dont like contact sports there are plenty of tennis matches and golf for you to watch.....

Lax is a contact sport, really? Get real, you want to be the tough guy, step on the football field. These guys wouldn't last one day of practice. It's easy lining up 5'7" 155lb guys.

Nobodys comparing it to football there superhero, simply pointing out that lacrosse is a contact sport and theres no reason for them to be trying to take the contact out of it. Oh and last time I checked a good majority of high school lax kids also play football. College football is a different deal I get it, but lets relax with the tough guy stuff......

Are you kidding ? He could have killed him. He was nice and let up. How about keeping your head up and knowing where you are on field? How about no buddy passes? That should have been a no call!

Kid scored on my son at PAL Sunday and way over celebrated in my sons face, my boy has been taught to act like you have been there before. Next possession, the kid got leveled by my son on a clean hard body check. My son just walked away a few feet and took a knee. On the way home, he reminded me that that kid never scored the rest of the game. Priceless lesson......
oh my...you are the greatest father ever!! way to pat yourself on the back on a blog you are such big time guy!
sure...you had better make a PAL aged kid a punisher at the youngest age possible. heaven forbid a kid on a PAL team has a happy and silly moment.

Celebrating in another kid's face is not a "happy and silly" moment. I assume the kid was happy he scored a goal. Let's leave it at that. How about teaching kids sportsmanship? It isn't all about them.

Thank you, I appreciate that. Maybe not the greatest, but I am glad to be considered. I'm hopeful that if I cut and paste this endorsement out and put it into my sons application to Chaminade that this will help him get in. Even if he does poorly on the test.

It is a tough game for tough kids. In the end he was very happy about what went down. And he thought the over celebrating was silly. So there you go, happy and silly.
A PAL aged child taught OK to intentially hurt an opponent - legal it or not--is disgraceful. Father has no place on the Chaminade feed. How about teach kid how to be a better defender and learn from his mistakes?

Where did the post say intentionally hurt anyone, do they teach you to read at Chaminade or just act like elitist jerks? Lacrosse is a tough game for tough kids and if you act like a jerk when you score, then expect the other team to react. And he learned from his allowing a goal. READING IS FUNDAMENTAL.
kind of think that you are a fraud.

You got issues.
How about SJB's 15 players putting a bit of a scare into a national power? LOL
SJB is a well coached talented team and gave Chaminade a good game.
Chaminade won but it was a very competitive game. Closer then the score. Both teams were very physical.
25 D1 commits vs 1
Yeah, but that one is really really good.
wow that's actually embarrassing that a parent would need to say 25 commits just because its too hard to admit that SJB played a good game against Chaminade.
I guess its true if you don't think SJB is that good this year then the Varsity team at Chaminade should have moved up the under sophomores.
I guess its true if you don't think SJB is that good this year then the Varsity team at Chaminade should have moved up the under sophomores.
the score did not reflect the game, it was not that close.
yeah we definitely stink this year......... shut up you clearly do not the game and just wait on us a lot of games left.
Watching this SJB team for the first time they should have more D-1 commits. Guess it's lack of exposure. I would think their new coach is trying to change that. Go Flyers.

You are right. Moran wasn't nervous at 7-6. LOL
The game was closer then the score and it was only 3 points. A few shouts that hit the post. They go in and this board would have blown up.
Very impressed with SJB. They have a lot of talent on the team. Wouldn't be surprised if some of the SJB kids commit to good schools over the next few months.
why so obsessed with the commit stuff? enjoy watching your kids playing with the h.s. team. they will only feel the pressure of committing if parents make so much of it.

The same could be said the other way also at least 6! That is why they play the game!!!
Charminade parents? Typical. Take accountability. You won a close game to a team you should have blown out.
That is why they play the game.
That is why they play the game.

Because the commit stuff is what makes parents consider schools for their kids ie St Anthonys. And parents considering other schools is the only thing that will expand the catholic league beyond the Big 2. You like knowing who is in this years, next years, and the year after that Catholic League Championship today? Boring.

The game was far closer than the score makes it appear.
This year's Chaminade team will not win any of their upcoming difficult games. Looks like no TORCH fund money from me this year, lol.

It was 12 - 6 in the fourth towards the end, Chaminade then gave up 3 easy goals the last 3 minutes.

So very true, I think if the new coach was in place at SJB during the orientation process for 2019/2020 many local lax kids may have opted for that school. Lets see where this year ends up. You may see some deciding to end up there after things don't work out for them at the big 2!

You are right. It wasn't close. Moran's blood pressure just happened to be 200/100. A national power gives up three easy goals in three minutes? Which is it, you are good or are you bad? Or better yet, mediocre? Want to predict the final record? 8-9 losses? And congratulations in advance when you drop 19 on a terrible HT squad. But we know, we know the sophomores will save the day. LOL

Charminade parents it was very nice of you giving SJB 3 easy goals in the 4th to a fellow catholic school. You should be proud of the example you are setting for these kids. I guess you didn't want to make SJB kids feel bad. Next you will blame the SJB kids for scoring and not quitting at the end of the game. This is classic. No accountability!!!! You won a close game. get over it.

An SJB sophomore scored and a freshmen was in trying to cut the lead to 2 at the end. I guess coaching does matter.
Without being sarcastic, and I'm not a parent of anyone one the team, the late three goals to me show the flaw in this years team. They don't seem to have an Alpha Dog, the kid who takes charge or when late goals are being given up won't tolerate it. There was no anger at allowing the lead to shrink, rather an "oh well, not a biggie...we're gonna win anyway" demeanor on the field.
That attitude, I think, is a result of these guys reading the preseason press and knowing they have their college acceptance in their hip pocket. Let's be honest, once they lose more than once they are nowhere in national rankings and if the kids aren't the type kid that hates to lose more than he likes to win then the only game he'll really get excited about will be St. Anthony's.
This team played flat yesterday, and will play flat again.....trust me.

when all you have to do is beat one real rival in your league in last game you are self declared state champs.

I guess they played flat against, St Anthony's, Manhasset, St Ignatius Prep & Ward Melville? You cant keep making excuses? Here is a thought, how about they are not as good as they thought?

A couple things:
1) When has anyone from Chaminade ever claimed to be "state champs" after winning the CHSAA title?
2) The 2-team AAA league was set up because ADs from the league's "lesser" teams were pissed about always losing
3) Both Chaminade and St. Anthony's play more difficult schedules than any other team in New [lacrosse]
Why does Chaminade have a former goalie coaching their offense? Guy is terrible, offense is terrible, it might be time to make a change. The personnel they have does not fit the style he is forcing down their throat. They need to get rid of him - it is a 5th grade PAL offense - embarrassing...

Here we go... Get your popcorn and enjoy the show.
Because they're scared... DOMS BABY LETS GOOOOO
Charminarde has 9 regular season games left. I wouldn't be surprised if they go 3-6. They are just not as good as years past. They don't have that stud or 2 as past seasons. All teams have down years. part of HS sports.
Watched Kellenberg play at Stables. Wow this program is in trouble. Staples is a good team. But Kellenberg's teams D is not very strong and the offence didn't show up. This program is now on the decline. Last was bad. This year is worse? Any thoughts on what is happening there

One of the most overrated head coaches on the island. He looks great when he has talent but he doesn't know how to develop kids. He's excellent at blaming the kids when he gets outcoutched though, which is pretty much every game now. Time for both parties to move on but they won't. Good luck to the parents who are thinking this is an excellent alternative to Chaminade or St Anthony's.

It's a 5th grade PAL offense? That would be an upgrade. It's a club team, we all just met each other yesterday offense. That's what happens when you usually have the most talent and are more interested in your club "business."

This team is now losing to the smaller schools? How can that happen. This school is 4X larger the St Doms. Since the change in the AD there has been a bigger focus on athletics. But not very good results. Is there a talent issue at the school. Last year there was a call to bring up the under class-men. Now that those under class-men are now on Varsity the results are the same. They are not winning. Not looking good for the coaching either. Clearly this is not the alternative to Chaminade or St Anthony's. For LAX it would be St Doms or St Johns. They have been beating Kellenberg for the last 3 years consistently. The problem with that is these schools combined are still smaller then Kellenberg by a lot?

Not sure how the offensive guy got the job but clearly what he has been doing this year and last is not working (I know they won last year but it was ugly). But he is too stubborn to change and the program (and seniors) suffer for it. Like the rest he is a pompous blowhard who thinks his sh8t doesn't stink because he is a high school coach at Chaminade. Time for a change - maybe he should just stick to being a goalie coach...

You know what was meant. Juniors get another shot next year - seniors don't. Good coaches adjust their systems to the personnel - not the other way around. We are 8 games in and zero adjustments have been made - ZERO. The same crappy slow it down, then take 3 minutes to sub, then work it around, then dodge from up top, then dodge from behind, etc. AWFUL!!!
Set them free - let them run and gun. Clearly the other way is not working. The kids are so afraid of making a mistake that nobody takes chances - and when no one takes chances nothing happens.
Darien beat Manhasset 11-8 the other day
Chaminade has a long tradition of sticking to something that worked well beyond it usable shelf life. Football playbooks seemed to be passed down from generation to generation, as if they were the Ten Commandments.
Who doesn't have the image of Jim Quinn twirling his finger, screaming for the beloved "motion" offense.
The other teams knew our plays better than our own kids.
Now lacrosse is asking a group to run the same offense that we've run year on year out, no consideration of is it the best offense for the skills these kids may have. They don't have a guy who can impose himself on a defender, and i can't recall too many goals off unsettled situations.
I guess they got a little breather today, and some of the bench had some fun.

hey what happened to St Doms being the best school in the CHSAA... guess they are right where they always should have been... right behind SJB
Wait, you went to CT to watch a HS lacrosse game but don't have a particular rooting interest? The way your post reads is like you don't have a kid playing, you just caught a game. KMHS varsity played at 12:30, KMHS JV played at 2:30 (my kids team) and St. Anthony's JV came in at 4:30 for a game. All at Staples.
If you have a kid on either KMHS teams your post is weird. If you have a kid at St. Anthony's and hung out all day from 12:30 that is also pretty weird, maybe weirder. I will skip the part about you being a Staples parent as weird to post what you did. That said, if you have no kids playing on any of the 6 teams to compete at staples that day I will ask you kindly to stay away.

Nope, I'll post what I want, when I want.
Sounds like 40x Rudy and not enough tough. That's not all on the coach. Sounds like it's a bunch of kids who have been told how wonderful and special they were since playing on a 'top U-13 club team'. LI has had some incredible youth club teams. The 2017 Tenacious Turtles were the best youth and middle school club team I ever saw. Maybe part of the problem is being so wonderful so young. It sounds very convincing when kids hear that and believe it so young. Just sayin...the cultural and attitude problems might be many years old and that ain't all on the Chammy coach.
Holy Trinity. Just what the doctor ordered LOL

This is a bit creepy. Traffic was crazy that day no one just went to Westport for the day. There was a purpose. I say it is probably a disgruntled KMHS JV parent who wants JR pulled up.

The JV team is pretty good. Why would anyone want to be pulled up to that disaster ?

As a point of reference last year's JV (current juniors) team was pretty good also: 33-0 as freshman and sophomores. The first time in Chaminade history.
Again, the talent is not the problem - it is the coaching...

hope that there's a good goalie coming up next year. losing a very good senior.
You all get lulled into this false sense of what your JV teams are. Most schools don't have 150 kids to choose from and have to take underclassmen up to varsity. Hence, their JV teams stink to high heaven. Time will tell if this famous JV team is indeed the second coming.

Sorry to say but I have watched all three goalies play. He is by far the best one on that team. I really dont want to knock any of the others but if he was not in net during the whole 1st half of the game versus St. Anthony's Chaminade would have lost that game.

Hope that checks out. Duke's goalie position recruiting starting with Aaron on down through some kids who are HS upperclassmen has been awful. That is one position where Dino must be praying for a transfer to bail it out like the FOGO position.
Dont think talent is the problem at Chammy... kids that get cut go on to play college lacrosse... maybe they shouldn't have a former goalie coach coaching their offense.
Has any of the the stud 10th graders get any play time ??

That is kind of a subtle knock on ex-Chaminade grad players, right.

Next years goalie position will be solid. The top Junior and the top Soph goalies are strong. The other Junior goalies are not very good. Save the hard shots and let up easy-ones & can't clear the ball....
Have you watched them play. THEY HAVE NO OFFENSE! They are no threat offensively. They're not even a threat on man up! You can see how wound tight they are by looking at the box when they sub.
So what are we trying to say about Chaminade lacrosse? They can't find enough talent in 100's of kids and/or the long time coaches have forgotten how to coach? I do think there is something to be said about having D-1 commits all over the place that haven't even played a varsity game. And a coaching staff totally enamored with the club team approach. A group of hungry kids growing up in the same neighborhood love nothing more than knocking off the "annointed" ones.
Next years goalie position will be solid. The top Junior and the top Soph goalies are strong. The other Junior goalies are not very good. Save the hard shots and let up easy-ones & can't clear the ball....
The 2 goalies that played in the JV championship against St. As last year were very good. Those 2 split all the big games last year - Delbarton, Manhasset, etc. Not sure about the other one.

JV championship game? does the Catholic league have JV playoffs?
Losing a very good senior are you crazy he stinks. Will ride the pine for 4 years at ND. His lacrosse career is basically done. Go get a good education from ND.

The starter from last year is very good. The Back ups struggle. Saves the hard shots and lets up easy-ones & can't clear the ball. Both JV Goalies will start over him next year.

You clearly are trying to stir the pot. There was no "starter" last year. There was a four goalie rotation with each goalie playing a quarter. The only games where that did not happen was against the good teams: St As, Delbarton, Manhasset, etc. Then only 2 played. No goalie ever played the whole game. Stop trying to stir up crap. By the way, I believe one of those 2 goalies is committed to a top 10 NESCAC..

The Sophomore Goalie will start next season. The Juniors don't have the same talent. The Sophomores are the best class they have had in a very long time.

I just want to insure we got this straight? You have one of the most respected HS Coaches in the country and you are blaming the teams lack of success on the offence coach? This is one of the best Lax programs in the country and this year they forgot how to coach?? Do you realize how silly this sounds. Could it be that this group didn't develop as expect? This team is not wining against the top teams. Typically if there was a weak grade it was covered up by the grades in front and behind it. This year their appears to be two weak grades in a row. Not something that has been at this school in a very long time. Next year will be a big test & a lot of pressure to win.
Looks like Kellenberg gave Chammy a run for its money? 9-4. I bet this game was not close. Chammy took it easy on them. Chammy may get one win for the rest of the season.

It was 4 to 2 @ halftime. I doubt Cham "took it easy" on them. The junior middie going to Duke is back in the lineup. Maybe he can help generate some offense from the midfield position.
So the holdback, cheater is back.

Wow? that is a surprise. Kellenberg is really a poor team the last 2 years. They have not played or beat anyone. St Dom man-handled Kelleberg
Is this a compliment, criticism or sarcasm? Hard to tell where you are going with this? They are losing games by less? Is that the point?

Who's kidding who. Moran and the Kellenberg coach are in business together and Moran doesn't want to embarrass his friend. That guy is on thin ice as it is. Believe me if there was any bad blood or a real rivalry with no connection between the ocaches, Chaminade would crush Kellenberg.
If I may rant for a minute. Recently, on both the boys and girls high school threads, I have seen comments to people {being anonymous we don't know the ages or profession of anyone} about attending H.S. games. In some situations an attendee either didn't have a child on either team, or stayed at a tournament longer than some felt appropriate to watch other teams play, or traveled a distance some would see as too far, or voided a game for "scouting" purposes. These people were vilified by others, and even called derogatory names for watching a sport the love. Why is it only lacrosse parents do this. If someone went to watch a football game, or a basketball game between two good teams no one would care or say a word. Who are these parents to hijack a public sporting event and slander people for loving a sport. Are they the same people that complain that Lacrosse isn't popular enough and should receive more attention, while excluding anyone without a direct interest in any particular game. Shame on you for calling someone a "perv" or a "loser" for watching a game they love. I bet you're the same person making March Madness brackets at your office, does that also make you a
"perv" or a "loser" for watching that sport with no child involved. Maybe if we welcomed people into watch our children play the sport we all love it will grow and become bigger, instead of pointing fingers at people and calling fans names.

Chaminade was not subbing. So you think he told the players don't score, this is business?? You take it easy on a team and don't drop 20 on them. You do not play a 9 4 game.
Last year it was 15 -2. Was he mad at him last year??
Last year it was 15 -2. Was he mad at him last year??
Hide behind your frustration that your son isn't going anywhere and had to transfer to see the field. Know the facts before you make a statement and embarrass yourself. Feel bad for your inferiority complex and taking it out on a high school lax player. Saying all this with no horse in the game. You are a big talker on an anonymous site. Sad!;

They are business partners. Including sharing game film.

So you think this year Moran kept it close 4-2 at half and 9-4 at the end. Because they are business partners? Last year it was 15-2?? Did he do this because Kellenberg coach is on thin ice? Even though his team is not wining? and may only win 1 game for the rest of the season. If that is the case. I want to go into business with Moran. What a good friend and partner he is. Did he let St A win that game for the same reasons. Or is it that Chammy is just not a good team and they don't have the talent they typically have. Time will tell all.
[/quote] Kellenberg will never be a threat to him. He will help out a buddy as much as possible. As opposed to what the Big 2 try to do to Doms and SJB. There is no assistance there.
Just an FYI, almost all coaches share game film. How else do you think they get it?

Catholic high school lacrosse is under assault, as are the institutions, from a number of factors that are well documented. Only a couple of institutions are viable long term.

Chaminade is going to be on the decline. And what happens when Moran finally retires. Parents will eventually wake up that it's not all that its cracked up to be. I'm interested. How many Manhasset kids at Chaminade? Manhasset spanked Chaminade. Maybe the All Star team model doesn't work. Maybe the set Catholic Championship each year doesn't work anymore. Or maybe they just became fat and happy.
take a piece of adhesive tape , write your sons name on it and put it on his helmet. then he will play!!

Please, Lord, let Pomponio be the head coach when Moran retires. Amen.
maybe all star team model doesn't work? the fact is that with VERY FEW exceptions the best Manhasset (or GC) kids going to Chaminade aren't all stars... a myth but you hear it every year.
They will start going to St Mary's.
Haven't seen anything since Petro graduated.

Off the top of my head I have;
Manhasset - D'agnes (Georgetown)
Two Trunz boys (both Georgetown)
Himler (Princeton)
All awhile ago.
GC - Thorton (Yale)
A few Tigh boys (Jack at Yale now)
Mahon (Harvard)
There have been others who've played or play at collegiate level (Fox, Stone, Conway, young Mahon, Brennans,....and all the ones I've missed.
But the myth of those two towns having a huge impact on CHS is overblown, as is the myth of those towns being decimated because of kids going to CHS.
tremendous players all. spread along about 10 yrs. they weren't the only players from thjose towns..you left out muller a total stud at MD
How about some respect each can have an opinion and both are very possibly correct in the writers eyes so why trash someone else instead why not just recognize the difference and agree to dosagree

I knew I'd miss a few, should have remembered Muller though as he's a recent vintage.
recently a poster referred to The Championship JV game last year versus St Anthonys'. do the Cathlic schools have playooffs? I know that there is no such thing in the publics on the JV level. is this just a proud mom/dad getting a bit too excited about the kids JV team ?

Catholics have some sort of Playoff system. Not really a proud parent but still no need to elaborate.
Catholics have. JV championship Aaa and a just like varsity, it's not unheard for north of 20 college coaches to be at the aaa championship game, most catholic schools don't move up much so the games are really good and competitive usually

Sure you will. You guys recruit kids from 40 towns and beat the towns public schools by one goal!
Shows you how little you know. Chaminade can not tell a kid to come they have to earn it. You must enter as a freshman unlike others who will take anyone, anytime with any grades that can score a goal. Good thing there are very smart lax players around that do the school work and put the time in off the field
WHY NOTHING ABOUT GAME IN NEWSDAY NOT EVEN BOX SCORE.

Shows how little you know. Plenty of lax players on "waiting list" get into school every year. That is a fact. I know kids who have. It is not the normal way right in. It's the "express" route!
And there are plenty of public school kids who go to Manhasset, GC, Massapequa etc, that go to the same colleges!!

So if Cham wins by one they got lucky, but if Cham lost by one they would have gone "down in flames." That makes sense. Sore loser. I think Chaminade has won something like 7 out of the last 8 against Pequa (including the year Pequa actually won the public school championship). I guess it is all the recruiting Chaminade does. Scholarships, cars, money, hookers.

(obvious massapequa parent, lol)
If Massapequa and chammy play 10 games this season Massapequa wins 7. They were clearly the better team just did not execute.
Chammy had 4 man up goals including game winner.
Massapequa only had one man up opportunity 30 sec hold.
Hard to phantom only one penalty in that tight of a game

Cham and St A supporters: don't waste your time with this moron. He is clearly a little weasel who has no clue about Cham yet for some reason has a serious inferiority complex. Guarantee he never played the game either. [lacrosse] this guy, you cannot have a rational dialogue with people like this.

I'm sure your little Johnny is awesome, but talking with an 8th grader and saying "you should come here" is not recruiting. Recruiting is offering financial incentives for student athletes to come to your school. Cham does not - unequivocally - recruit kids. I cannot speak for St. A's. Real recruiting does happen at Boarding schools and schools like Landon / Bullis / etc in Maryland. But to imply this happens at Cham is pure fiction.
It's not subtle to tell kids they will go to a certain school and they will get them on an ACC roster. That's anything but subtle , and is absolutely recruiting. Plenty of people will get recruited to play in college and not get a penny. It's still recruiting.
There are scholarships and there is recruiting. Not always the same thing.

100% correct!
His son didn't get any love so recruiting doesn't exist.
Liars. Worse self righteous liars.
My son was recruited to kellenberg- so I am sure it happens to chaminade.
So when the public school tells an 8th grader if they do not go Catholic school they will move them up to the JV, is that recruiting?

Ok, even though the public coach has a limited pool, so it isn't totally apples to apples, it is recruiting. So what's your point? Still trying to say Chaminade doesn't recruit?

Deny, deny and deny some more. Time for you to confess to your deceit.
Chaminade was recruiting my son too. But when I asked for cash I was told there wouldn't be any cash but that on my deathbed I'd achieve total consciousness. So I got that going for me. Which is nice.

You also gave up 9 goals to SJB that has 15 kids that can play. Top defense in the country? Bit of a stretch.
the attack is top 3 in the country
this guy who rates them top 10 in country has taken the time to see every team in the country so his/her analysis is spot on
Top ten in Mineola, I'll give you that.

Zero coaching. Talent just arrives every year.
The problem is the coaching. St Anthony's gets out coached every year because they don't make changes. St Anthony's should have won that game. What a dismantle. Let the same kids make the same mistakes over and over. They will lose the next two games because Chaminade is ready every year. They watch film and adjust accordingly.n SA doesn't.
That loss is on the coaches. Same with the upcoming games and championship. No adjustments lead to,losses

Why should they coach? New talent shows up every Spring regardless.
Oh boy.......
Three goals? Seriously?

If they had National Rankings for teams that can work the ball around the perimeter, with an occasional dodge until pressure is felt and then pull it out and pass it around the perimeter some more, Chaminade would be at the top of that poll.
I'm sorry, that is not an offense. That is a game of group catch.

Are you the Dad who yelled out "play offense"?
No, I'm an alum who was watching on MSG Varsity. I've been to a few, watched a few more, and get frustrated that the offense is so predictable, Most defenders are told to keep their "head on a swivel", playing Chaminade that phrase changes to "watch the ball".

Chaminade has managed to make lacrosse boring. It's been hard to watch.
I'd love to see these two head coaches play with mediocre talent. They would retire so quickly your head would spin. You win a million championships because you are in a two team league. St Anthonys has college like athletic facilities. Chaminade the academics. These head coaches could roll out a bucket of balls and sit in lounge chairs. Like the saying goes, "if you build it, they will come." That's regardless of who directs the show.

Thanks SOPH Dad!
or mommy.
he/she has a good point tho.
he/she has a good point tho.
It's not only St. Anthony's and Chaminade that have solid lacrosse players entering their programs. Look at the towns that have excellent town and PAL programs. The likes of Garden City, Manhasset, Cold Spring Harbor, Farmingdale, and Syosset in Nassau County and in Suffolk you have West Islip, Three Village, Smithtown East/West, Northport, Huntington and Connequot. Sorry is I missed any. There's a lot more towns with solid teams in the last 5 or 6 years. Not making Little League baseball an after thought but almost in some communities. So please stop the BS that St. A's and Chaminade coaches don't need to coach. What about all those other towns mentioned. Bottom line is the popularity of lacrosse has helped a lot of school programs become very relevant in the last few years. So stop trashing the coaches. They put time, energy, love of the game and knowledge back into the sport. Stop your petty posts. Thank you....
Forgot Pequa my apologies

Also for all you haters of St. Anthony's and Chaminade according to LaxPower Strength of Schedule, St. Anthonys plays the 4th and Chaminade the 9th toughest schedules in the country.
Smithtown East is 3rd and Ward Melville is 11th. There's no other Long Island school listed in the top 20.
I'm finished...sure your happy about that!

Every year the incoming class think they are the saviors because they tore up JV against all schools that move any decent player to varsity, except one! And St Ant's is starting to do that as well. The good news is , you will make the finals again next year!!

I'm finished...sure your happy about that!

So if you are 4th and 9th in the nation with 100's of kids coming out for the team, how does 123rd in the nation stack up with 15 kids that can play and underclassmen filling in the voids? I guess coaching does matter.

No doubt coaching matters. Chaminade's is off the charts terrible with the talent they have there this year. To end the season with potentially 7 losses is the worst season in 20 years. But they will blame the kids and say they didn't listen to their 1981 offense that they keep running (again, a former goalie is their offensive coordinator). The game has passed those coaches by. Maybe they should worry about teaching the kids instead of trying to be tough guys. Also, they should probably stop playing politics - as bad there as anywhere I have seen it (and I have 4 kids).
St. As is a little better because they don't have nearly the talent this year that Chaminade has but has beat them twice (albeit by 1 goal each time).
Like a previous poster said. With the amount of talent on these teams the coaches could just roll out a ball and get 12 wins - looks like that's what they did this year...

Being a goalie has nothing to do with it. Just an FYI the coach of the Washington Capitals is a former Hofstra lacrosse player. They are a pretty damn good hockey team. They're are many people coaching who were defensive players coaching offenses and offensive players coaching defense. It's the coach, not the former position. Was he a D1 goalie? I'm sure his many years of lacrosse opened him up to offenses, and also, who better to know offensive strategy than a goalie? He has seen it all, played against it, knows what works, what doesn't.
Where are you getting 100 kids coming out for Varsity team ??

Not to be that guy, but I think you are referring to John Cooper the head Coach of the Tampa Bay Lightning, who did indeed play club hockey and D1 lacrosse for Hofstra. He played midfield and is known for creating great cultures of winning and tradition.......

Reading comprehension not your strong suit. If 4th and 9th place rankings were mentioned, then I would believe we are talking about Anthonys and Chammy combined. So let me ask you. Tell me the total number of kids showing up in the spring for lacrosse for both of those schools, all grades. Give me a number.

I would guess combined Both Schools
Freshman 150
Soph 100
Jr/Sr 150
I would suspect my number for Soph and up might be to heavy, as I would think the teams are picked and attrition occurs.
ALL grades you can say 100 for many schools across the Island. You make it sound like every kid at Cham and St Anthonys plays lacrosse.
You said 100's. Which in most circles means multiple 100's 2,3,4
SPlit it down the middle. Still wrong. After first year freshmen tryouts for both schools the number goes down significantly. Many don't try out year after year. Although St anthonys adds year after year to their classses

Your comment about St. A having less talent than Cham is completely off-base. Go watch the game on MSG Varsity. St. A is clearly - without doubt - the more athletic team.

Compare those numbers to every other Catholic school and the publics they play. Add in a built in feeder program and tell me they shouldn't be undefeated. A 12-9 game against SJB? Stop. Coaching does matter. Alot! And fat and happy make you complacent. Go ask some of the ACC teams about being fat and happy and how that has turned out.

Have to agree. St A defense much better, St A Midfield better, Attack even.
This thread is going to become a lot more interesting over the next few days.

LIE, wisenheimer
Enough with the Express feeder program theory. It is old, stale and has been debunked time and time again. Over the past few years in particular. Lots of fl$ kids and 91 kids. Enough. Let's get back to how bad the offense is or how the coaching staff repeatedly finds ways to lose close games year after year after year. Much more valid theories.

At chaminade you have at least the 50 juniors who played JV the year before and the 25 to 30 seniors who were on varsity last year. So for varsity tryout , you are at 75 without much effort. Syosset , Farminfdale , Port all have freshman and sophomores getting time. Way smaller pool in public school. Even in the big public schools !

This theory erroneously assumes that all 50 kids who played lacrosse in the 10th grade try out for varsity the following year. In fact, a number of those players -- particularly those who played very little as sophs -- do not try out for varsity.

Of course the pools are smaller, even at the larger publics. We've recruited all your talented players. First we identify the best youngsters on the elementary age teams at LI Express. Then we figure out what besides lacrosse they enjoy. Some kids have to be given video consoles, some want some cool new clothes, heck a few just want us to give their Mom some nice earrings or stuff like that.
Then we start to get the recruiting packages pulled together. We research where they they might want to go to school. But even better than that we find out what they want to do later in life. If they want Wall Street, heck that's easy we can
Rooms them a nice Investment Banking slot. They think they want to be a lawyer, no problem. They want to work on TV or movies? Do you know 17 ex-lacrosse players work on the Bill O'Reilly Show?
But at the end of the process who is gonna turn down a free tuition and a car? Not many.
So, yeah all the good players are at the Catholics.......
Could this be a 7 loss year? Heavens to mercy LOL
Who won today?

I stand corrected, thank you. My point was, he was primarily a lax man, became a pro hockey coach
Some background on Delbarton:
Starting attack: 3 seniors - no commitments
Starting midfield: 1 uncommitted senior, 1 jr committed to Villanova, another junior uncommitted.
2nd midfield: senior committed to Providence, uncommitted senior and junior.
Another jr that is committed to Cornell is out for the season.
FOGO is uncommitted jr.
LSM senior and LSM junior uncommitted
SSDMS are all uncommitted.
Starting close D: senior committed to Notre Dame, senior committed to Trinity (DIII) and jr committed to Lehigh. The other 2 close D are uncommitted jrs.
Goalie committed to Gettysburg.
On paper this team doesn't compare to Chaminade, St. A or Malvern Prep, yet they beat all 3. Go figure.

Disgusting! Pull your kid and ask for a refund! And people think values are taught there??
Slow down, my kids don't even go there but is anyone if the opinion that the public school teachers are perfect? Come on there are plenty of lousy public school teachers. Stop with the nonsense. I guess no one commenting will be sending junior to Penn State right? Except if they offer him the golden ticket, then its off to Happy Valley. Hypocrite
The Devil's greatest trick was lacrosse at Jesuit schools and colleges.
Unless you're prepared to give me other reasons why a repressed youth would be a good bargain.

Ha, Ha. There are no refunds at Chaminade! You can check out any time you like, but you (and your $) can never leave.

The key is a very detailed investigation take place and hope it hasn't spread to their sister school Kellenberg and the others..every parent please talk to your boys and ask questions to hopefully make sure it doesn't continue to happen

Bright enough to stay away from Chaminade! Never felt the need to leave the fine public school district, worked out great, son headed to top school with a substantial scholarship. Sorry the grass didn't turn out to be greener for you , attending a pompous school whose reputation is now destroyed!

A little judgmental, aren't you. The situation is sad for all involved. Particullarly the boy or boys abused. Maybe it wasn't your fine public school district where something like this has occurred, but it has in several LI districts and they've all gotten past it and thrived. Remember - It could easily be yours next. No one is immune. And by the way, I have two boys - one is a Chaminade grad who is doing very well at the college of his choice. My other son is a HS student in an excellent school district. He will also have his choice of many outstanding colleges. It's all what you mKe of it.

You are disgusting. Think about how many kids, you need to get your head out of the sand! Enablers like you are just as culpable.

Maybe I don't like a bully who rapes young boys. Maybe I hate dirtbags. Who hide behind God.
Once is too much but there are bad apples everywhere. Chaminade takes care of their own in the business world post graduation, will be interesting to see if the alums continue to support the school

Very nice that the powers at be knew about this since 2011 and we're just hearing about it now. Those are some great values over there. Surely, this wouldn't have had any impact on a parents decision to send their prey to such a place. Disgusting. I'm Catholic, and I've always said that whole boys only deal gave me the creeps, now I know why!!!
Disgusting! Pull your kid and ask for a refund! And people think values are taught there??
Guess your kids weren't bright enough to get in….
Bright enough to stay away from Chaminade! Never felt the need to leave the fine public school district, worked out great, son headed to top school with a substantial scholarship. Sorry the grass didn't turn out to be greener for you , attending a pompous school whose reputation is now destroyed!
Whatever you say, little angry man…
I have nothing to be angry about, but I can see you do! I just feel sorry for you. Think you may be mistaking anger for pity. Sad for the parents who thought they were putting their kids in a respectable place. Like I said, grass not always greener, and money doesn't always buy happiness either! Oh, and little I am far from at 6'3"
Maybe I don't like a bully who rapes young boys. Maybe I hate dirtbags. Who hide behind God. [/quote]
A religious order -- not the DA's office, not a Judge, not a jury, -- determined that an allegation made by a student, not a minor, was "credible." The DA's office commented that the alleged conduct constituted a misdemeanor, not a felony. You have transformed those facts into "a bully who rapes young boys." Are you running for district attorney in North Carolina?

And it's never the first time, there will be more unfortunately. Bet on it.

Too angry? Is it possible to be too angry about child sexual abuse? Has anyone you know ever been the victim of such a crime? If it was your son, would your anger know any bounds? "Little fella" that's about the creepiest term one could ever use with regard to this topic. I think you should examine your inner self a bit. Sicko.

Of course they will, because they cling to there HS experience like it matters once you move on to college. Now we can see the termite infested foundation the whole place is built on. And the alumni are going to rush in to shore it up before anyone notices. Too late now.

Are you really trying this? He only touched him inappropriately???? You really are a sick POS. It is never the first time, and you can bet there was more. The only thing preventing it from going further is the kid (a MINOR) who this slime bucket was responsible for doesn't want to have to go through the legal system which shames victims.
Keep trying to minimize it. It only shows how twisted your brain is. Confession doesn't work for people like you, and my God doesn't forgive child molesters or the people like you who choose to look the other way or minimize it.

You're so angry and have such a tremendous axe to grind that it's affecting your already VERY limited brain. I haven't heard anyone defending any criminal activity here. We're all just wondering the true reason why you have such hatred for such a wonderful institution. Were you bullied or picked on by someone wearing red or something?

Sounds like they have lots of great players that will end up being either walk ons or end up being picked up late in the game, but also sounds like the teams that get them will be glad!!
Unbelievable showing by Cham alums in the Yale/Navy game right now. Patriot League Goalie of the Year John Connors standing on his head for Navy. Jack Tigh with three goals for Yale. Michael Quinn playing outstanding defense on a torn ACL. Go Flyers!

Some facts about Delbarton: $35,000 tuition, they recruit athletes, religious institution. Sounds like Chaminade on roids.
How come when ever someone has something negative to say about Chaminade they always bring up the cost to go there or the reputation that has been established over the years? St Anthony's Kellenberg St Mary's Sacred Heart Trinity ect are no walk in the park cost figures either.
Rude awakening people bottom line is no matter who you are or what occupation / vocation you choose you are first and foremost a human being. A priest is human first and decides he wants to love that life as is a policeman lawyer physician teacher ect. So get your head out of the sand teach your children and grandchildren right from wrong. Be involved in you families lives so hopefully nothing ever happens poorly to them.
Instead of slamming the school you should be offering moral and emotional support for the individual involved.

Agreed, that is why the Delbarton post. People here seem to think that these schools are these fine institutions while Chaminade is some gross land of spoiled little brats. Nothing further from the truth. I think the average Chaminade grad is a polite and well adjusted young man who is very very driven to succeed in life. And no, my son is a public school kid who I wish had gone to Chaminade.

My heart and prayers go out to the Chaminade family and to the victim of this monster. We, as parents, are all saddened by this and we are behind you 100%.
Your children are OUR children. No one should joke or anonymously berate a family or a child who has been mistreated by an adult in power, NO MATTER WHERE THEY ATTEND SCHOOL.
We have to take care of each other. You have our support and our love. We are here for you.
What a year for Chaminade.

No, they will support the school monetarily because they believe it to have been an important part of their lives. And they will support It because they realize that there are a large number of people who agree with them, and want their children to attend but need monetary assistance. In the current economic environment, particularly on LI with our tax issues, any tuition might be too much for some families. So the alumnae supports the school to help defray those costs.
They will also offer vocal support because they know the school's foundation isn't termite infested. They know this is a serious charge and issue, but as far as they know it is one man, not the entire order. Defending the school isn't the same as supporting it. I doubt you will hear any alums try and defend Fr. James, but supporting the school which has been damaged by him is a different story.
I have a question for this guy with all the Chaminade negativity. I'm sure I will not get a straight answer do to the comment above of I'm 6'3" . Here I go anyway What's your real problem with the school. If you didn't go there and your children didn't go there you do not have any first hand knowledge of the school. Are you looking for someone/ something to go have a bar room fight with ?Because I really can't follow why a father or mother of 6'3" would pick on a school they have and have never been associated with

How about when the catholic church knew about the wide spread abuse of children and did everything they could to hide it, is that what you're talking about? The powers at be in your beloved school knew about this case years ago, they too did everything they could to hide it. Are those the kind of values you support? The school IS the people that run it. It is an
arcane, sick environment that needs to change. Sorry, but an all boys environment is akin to an all you can eat buffet for the overweight. I imagine that this incident will reveal years of abuse by multiple individuals, as many more victims will hopefully now have the courage to come forward. The best thing you can do is to rally your fellow alumni around some real a definite hard core change. What wacko would send their son to that place? (btw I'm catholic, so no need to go there)
Plus the JV coach be-rating his player(s)- getting fired and re-hired
The pee-wee loud mouth wrestling coach psycho dude too. U Got to see that guy at youth sports games.

No that is not what I'm talking about. I am talking about this specific incident, not the history of abuse cases in the Catholic Church.
And with respect to did the "powers to be" (your phrase)do everything to hide it? I don't know. Did they act immediately to remove Fr. Williams from his post? Seems like they did. Did they take him at his word that he was innocent (which he continues to declare), no they didn't. Did they investigate and act upon the results they found, yes. During that time was Fr. Williams even allowed interaction with students?, no. Now did they publically announce what was going on with Fr. Williams, no they didn't.
Perhaps because there are more than a few cases of false accusations. Lets assume that you coach a little league team and one of the kids said you were touching him. Would you expect that to be announced to the local newspaper and Channel 12 if you were vocal that it wasn't true?
Not sure why you are so insistent that it is some sort of perverted place, with debauched men having their ways with dozens of scared little boys. I spent four years there, my sons were there for a stretch of eight years. None of us ever saw or experienced an unwanted action from anyone. As to the single sex environment, I actually laugh at what you seem to conjure up in your mind. Read the recent article in Vanity Fair about the Seven Sisters, the all women colleges that are elite centers of learning. the author went in with preconceived ideas about what she would find and was shocked at how wrong she was.
My daughter went to Sacred Heart, after 8 years in public school. She was thrilled to get away from the BS, and peer pressure to be cool with the boys. She didn't want to worry about if she had a cool skirt or if her hair was combed just right. And guess what she also missed out on the experiences like Rainbow Parties in the ninth grade. if you aren't sure what a Rainbow Party is ask a tenth grade girl at most public schools.
Or perhaps you've read about St. Paul's, the elite coed prep school in NH? There the upperclass boys have a contest to screw as many underclass girls as they can, and keep a running log to be shared with their fellow students.
I seriously doubt that Chaminade has a monopoly on inappropriate behavior, and I also believe they have a faculty and staff that cares about their students more than most.
So wage your campaign against Chaminade, The Catholic Church, single sex education and all the other groups you think have exclusives on misdeeds. But I'm going to go out on a limb and say that there are still going to be about 1500-1750 wackos looking to send their sons to Chaminade.
I also hope that in your little circle of friends and family none of them ever does something wrong and needs your help or support.

Am I reading this wrong or are you people bringing the sexual abuse by a few priest into the Chaminade thread ? How pathetic. So Rabbis don't donit also ? What about non religious people ? I'm pretty sure ANY college has the highest regard for a Chaminade diploma. Lax is such a tiny aspect of why kids go to the school

So most of the kids on the lax team are going purely for the education and the learning experience and the playing part is less then 10% of the reason???. Sad to say I think you are way off on that one
No once again an anti Chaminade person. A hater!!! Don't be a hater!!!

Well, if they can play at Chaminade or they can play sports at their local public school, then there must be some other reasons they choose Chaminade. Why are they going? Why pay tuition? Why have to commute in some cases?
We've all been made very aware of the lack of distinction between Public School programs and Catholic School programs. You know,....Coaches see you at either, its really the club anyway, the academics aren't really better. Heck, I know kids that haven't gone because they were concerned that they might not get enough playing time, so they stayed at their public school (he went on to start for three years at an Ivy so his fears were misplaced, and it worked out fine for him.....of course his mother still wishes he'd gone to Chaminade).
I don't know, it seems to me anyone playing at Chaminade probably plays for his local school.....if its all about lax why then Chaminade???

Sorry, but as a parent who WOULD have sent their son to Chaminade if he got accepted I could care less about sports. I want him to get an elite education, make life long connections, secure a college education at an Ivy. That's the reason kids go there. If they don't make the lacrosse team, play chess, track and field or hey try the crew team. But if you went there to play lacrosse, football or basketball you went for the wrong reason. My son goes t a public HS in LI, a good one, not a great one, lacrosse program is elite, he starts. I'm fine with it, I'm also fine with Chaminade, Kellenberg, St. Anthony's and SJB amongst others. Have no beef with GC, Manhasset or CSH. Stop being holier than thou, do you think your public school is perfect? Think none of the teachers espouse their left wing liberal views on your son? Think any of them use/abuse drugs? Dream on dude and get a grip.

Perhaps because there are more than a few cases of false accusations. Lets assume that you coach a little league team and one of the kids said you were touching him. Would you expect that to be announced to the local newspaper and Channel 12 if you were vocal that it wasn't true?
Not sure why you are so insistent that it is some sort of perverted place, with debauched men having their ways with dozens of scared little boys. I spent four years there, my sons were there for a stretch of eight years. None of us ever saw or experienced an unwanted action from anyone. As to the single sex environment, I actually laugh at what you seem to conjure up in your mind. Read the recent article in Vanity Fair about the Seven Sisters, the all women colleges that are elite centers of learning. the author went in with preconceived ideas about what she would find and was shocked at how wrong she was.
My daughter went to Sacred Heart, after 8 years in public school. She was thrilled to get away from the BS, and peer pressure to be cool with the boys. She didn't want to worry about if she had a cool skirt or if her hair was combed just right. And guess what she also missed out on the experiences like Rainbow Parties in the ninth grade. if you aren't sure what a Rainbow Party is ask a tenth grade girl at most public schools.
Or perhaps you've read about St. Paul's, the elite coed prep school in NH? There the upperclass boys have a contest to screw as many underclass girls as they can, and keep a running log to be shared with their fellow students.
I seriously doubt that Chaminade has a monopoly on inappropriate behavior, and I also believe they have a faculty and staff that cares about their students more than most.

Nassau Police are publically asking others with allegations to come forward also. IT is never the first time.
It took 4/5 years for them to release this? Why?
The act is abominable and the cover up, either on purpose or through indifference is worse. He resigned and got out of town, typical move to just allow a molester to do this to others.
Shameful.

Because he has protections from slander. If the Nassau DA didn't bring charges once informed then it's done. The school can't tell everyone he's a child molester on the word of a student. It's a he said/he said incident. What cover up?

That doesn't mean you can legally "out" the guy. He's guilty, but only in the public eye. In the eyes of the law he hasn't been charged. Can't disclose the allegation and his name based on hearsay.

Right. So you quietly let him resign and disappear. I have seen a bigger deal made out of football coach cursing on a bus.
Can't selectively hold to higher standard. Oblivious there was enough there for them to hide him and tell DA. He doesn't need to be convicted before letting people know. I see plenty of people in Newsday before they have their day in court.

Because the school told him that he had to, and then they removed nim from any contact with students while they investigated the allegations. At that point they had no idea if the allegations had merit, but took the steps to ensure no additional activity in event the allegations were found to be true, or in their words 'credible'.
He didn't disappear, the whole Chaminade community knew he was in Rome.

Any college has respect for the Chaminade diploma? Check out how many Chaminade boys applied to Clemson and how many got accepted. Unless you are playing lacrosse in college or applying to a school in NY, most don't have any regard for it.

OK, so let me be clear, the man has legal protection from the school telling ANYONE that he is a pedophile, or was engaged in inappropriate behavior. Legally, the school cannot divulge the facts of this case. Even if YOU want them to, they can't. Again, you see names in Newsday (trash) after the DA has charged them. Remember the Tawana Brawley case? Al Sharpton is still on the hook for millions for that one. Not similar but the Duke scandal, the DA took the word of a hooker/stripper over the boys on the team (Chaminade kid) and look how that ended up. Sorry if you want the school to divulge UNVERIFIED facts, not going to happen. Clear?

No. It's not clear because there is a letter from the school on their webpage addressing it. If no charges filed , how can they do that? Clear it up for me please. You seem to be so knowledgable. Please use some examples again. I enjoyed that. Really brought it down to the "slower" people like me. Oh , and there is another aligation from 1970 in Newsday today.
Unfortunately this issue is somewhat prevalent in many schools. See Pingry School in NJ, Delbarton from the 1970s, Horace Mann in NYC, many others. Unfortunately, Chaminade and several other prominent schools (plus probably many that are not out in the public yet) have been hit with these issues. Really, really sad for the children and the families. Stop using this crap to point at Chaminade, stupid way to try top attack a school many of you seem to not like.

No other thread has "Stories and news" attached to the header. Just Chaminade. HMMMM
Sort of encourages talk other than Lax, huh?

Let's count the spelling and grammar errors from this teacher:
1)completly
2)Delutional
3)Colleges capitalized
4) Regard capitalized
5)Describing a diploma as "Catholic"
6)"a English" - should be "an English"
7)"Local University" capitalized
8)absolutely
9)Public School capitalized
10) "..handwriting alone" - should be "based on their handwriting."
11) Last sentence - no comma
12)Alum capitalized
You seem to be the only slow person who has an obvious hard on for Chaminade. So I'll try to explain, the case is already public, so NOW the school can put it out there. There is an allegation, an allegation genius, I can allege that you are a pedophile as well, are you??? The media is quoting a source that they vetted, therefore the information probably has some validity. The school cannot just say, so and so is a pedophile because one of our students said so. Is it clear? You are a seriously strange dude. Your anti Chaminade bias is so obvious. A staff member appears to be pedophile, they are addressing it, what is your problem? If you are a past victim I get the outrage, but there are legal protections for people, the school has to honor those obligations. Where is your scorn and anger for the Nassau District Attorney who brought NO charges against this man? Are they not complicit as well? How about the Nassau PD special victims squad who apparently did NOTHING with these allegations, where is your anger towards them? You are a phony, your false anger at this is pathetic, you could care less about the student, you sit there in glee over the embarrassment that a really good institution is suffering through. Are you also anti Penn State? Would you condemn Joe Pa for his knowledge of an abusive coach? Would you ever let your son go there? I'm sure if the offer cam you would pack up junior and send him off in his navy and whites and wear your Penn State Lacrosse sweatshirt every day. Typical hater, typical hypocrite.

Probably a mistake to say "ANY college has the highest regard". A better characterization is that amongst the Catholic Universities the Chaminade degree is a very recognizable one and is considered a positive when considering acceptance. That list is a pretty good list of schools (ND, HC, BC, Georgetown, Loyola, Villanova, to name a few). For non-secular schools I think there is a certain level of respect that the New England and Middle Atlantic schools probably have. It appears that the NESCAC schools take a fair amount of Chaminade candidates, and not all playing a sport. The Ivies are probably less impressed by a Catholic education, and a sport sure helps. In fact it probably works against a very qualified non-athlete, they're not going to take a large amount from any one school.....works against the diversification they all look to display.
As for the rest of the country, as per your example of Clemson, yeah I agree. I am not sure they buy the narrative. That is somewhat to be expected because they don't have the history with the school those other schools have. The Catholic's, the NESCAC's, the Lehigh's and Bucknell's have track records of Chaminade students performance, both while in school and as an alum of their institution.
Is it a good school, absolutely. Are there plenty of other good schools?, no doubt.
Does it need to be bashed on here non-stop? You tell me.

I am NOT a Chaminade graduate. I am female. However, based on my Catholic High School Entrance Examination score back in the day, I would have been admitted to Chaminade had I been male. The proper use of suffix in that context would have been "alumnus" (male, singular).
With that, if one uses the term "graduate(s)" one will always be correct. Kudos.
Who's your mommy.....?
So...we can all agree. this poster was neither a college instructor nor a Chaminade grad.?

How about the Nassau PD special victims squad who apparently did NOTHING with these allegations, where is your anger towards them? You are a phony, your false anger at this is pathetic, you could care less about the student, you sit there in glee over the embarrassment that a really good institution is suffering through. Are you also anti Penn State? Would you condemn Joe Pa for his knowledge of an abusive coach? Would you ever let your son go there? I'm sure if the offer cam you would pack up junior and send him off in his navy and whites and wear your Penn State Lacrosse sweatshirt every day. Typical hater, typical hypocrite.
Its public because people talked about it!!! Not anti chaminade. Anti cover up! Also anti penn state! That cover up effected many others after they knew what was happening. Shocking you would publicly condone that behavior. You seem pretty defensive on subject. Any thing you want to talk about ?
Can we please get back to Chaminade Lacrosse Stories and news. I believe that is the Forum

Because he has protections from slander. If the Nassau DA didn't bring charges once informed then it's done. The school can't tell everyone he's a child molester on the word of a student. It's a he said/he said incident. What cover up?
Then why did he "resign" and disappear?
That doesn't mean you can legally "out" the guy. He's guilty, but only in the public eye. In the eyes of the law he hasn't been charged. Can't disclose the allegation and his name based on hearsay.
There was credible evidence you moron!

There are more than a few people commenting on this. You are trying to defend the indefendable and need to stop because people like you are complicit in this act even after the fact as you defend how this was handled. PS: if Paterno knew he should rot in [lacrosse]. Frankly so should this pig and those at Chaminade who knew or were involved and covered it up.

So right I am complicit because I comment on a web site, get over yourself simpleton. As stated I didn't defend anyone, just reciting the law. The school notified the Nassau and Suffolk DA upon learning of the allegation. They did nothing, re direct your anger. I have no kids in Chaminade, he didn't get in, I have some friends who went and know some kids who go, all good people, all really well adjusted. You....not so much.

I'm not well adjusted because I hate child molesters and those who hide, defend or excuse them. Thank God I'm guilty as charged! Thanks Perry Mason, you have figured me out.
I'm Catholic and Catholic educated through grad school. No one taught me to suspend my morals or turn a blind eye. You on the other hand can look at this through whatever dispassionate, twisted legal prism you like. You know they could have acted swiftly and they didn't. Further, a religious order does not have to hide behind a self serving legal argument to discipline one of their own. Keep defending it, scum.

When you are arguing with about 10 different people , maybe you are wrong? That's for the law lesson. Maybe ......should worry about the kids and not the law so much!!

[lacrosse], the victim did not want to pursue it due to the stigma. The kid should t be forced to go through the it again and again by deniers like you. Don't be such a blind a-hole. It's never the first and last time. It's only the time the scum got caught.

Are you a prosecutor? Present or former? Or, are you a psychologist with knowledge concerning pedophilia? You seem to know quite a bit about the multiple layers of issues that such unfortunate incidents touch upon.

Not a prosecutor, just a hater of child abusers of any kind and I cling to a special hatred of religious people who violate not only civil law but also use their position in the church to access and abuse vulnerable people. I consider myself a moderate, but I would advocate for castration for this putrid man of the cloth. Perhaps with a dull knife and no anesthesia. Is that ok with you?

I love the name calling, you are a phony. You despise the institution because of some made up issue only you know about. The school gave the information to the Nassau DA, that is their responsibility, they followed the law, you want more, well too bad. Who deemed the issue credible? Chaminade, NOT the DA nor the PD. Only the school, they can't release his name phony name caller. Get over your anger, go volunteer at a rape crisis center, become a cop or prosecutor if you're so outraged. Again, YOU ARE A PHONY who hates the institution, you could care less about the victim. I only explained the legal ramifications of the school releasing information without PROOF, which is what you need. Not enough for a phony like you. But keep it up, until YOU do something keep it down spider, you're a PHONY!

Any college has respect for the Chaminade diploma? Check out how many Chaminade boys applied to Clemson and how many got accepted. Unless you are playing lacrosse in college or applying to a school in NY, most don't have any regard for it.
Like the post said "outside of NY". Plus when was the last time handwriting meant anything?

Please let us know which university so that all can avoid it. Your spelling and random capitalization doesn't say much if you are a teacher. Also, what university calls the people running the classes teachers? Aren't they professors at that point?

Exactly. The N.Y Times hasn't been straight forward in fifty years. The only reason I look at Newsday is the high school sports coverage. Wish they would list All-County and All-Division like they used to.

Good point, but I do think the Times, for the most part gives an accurate accounting with a left wing slant.
Nobody cares about this 3rd game between these two except for the two schools themselves. With each passing year this two team charade "championship" becomes more and more irrelevant compared to what's going on around the Island and around the country with a much more robust playoff system. Just call it a 3rd game and call it a day.
i have similar complaint about newsday sports reporting. they used to list all section,division , conference etc.
how hard would that be to re-establish. it was a nice feature .

He did it and they (and now you) looked they other way. They did the minimum. If I am a phoney, that's ok. But tell your son to be careful. And don't forget to pray that it never happens to you and they cover it up again.

"If" he did it? Really? Nice try. It's deniers like you who are responsible for this scum to be free to leave the country and continue to victimize the weak and vulnerable. Stand up and demand more from that school and all associated with it.
Whew, let's change the subject so people will forget.

He did it and they (and now you) looked they other way. They did the minimum. If I am a phoney, that's ok. But tell your son to be careful. And don't forget to pray that it never happens to you and they cover it up again.
OK, explain how I looked the other way? Why don't you in your wisdom tell everyone here how it should be handled. Keep in mind the Duke lacrosse scandal while you project your self righteous answer psycho, and if something like this ever happened to one of my children, you can be assured the school would not need report it, the problem would be solved with a shovel and a ditch in a remote place.

Are you a prosecutor? Present or former? Or, are you a psychologist with knowledge concerning pedophilia? You seem to know quite a bit about the multiple layers of issues that such unfortunate incidents touch upon.

Not a prosecutor, just a hater of child abusers of any kind and I cling to a special hatred of religious people who violate not only civil law but also use their position in the church to access and abuse vulnerable people. I consider myself a moderate, but I would advocate for castration for this putrid man of the cloth. Perhaps with a dull knife and no anesthesia. Is that ok with you?
I love the name calling, you are a phony. You despise the institution because of some made up issue only you know about. The school gave the information to the Nassau DA, that is their responsibility, they followed the law, you want more, well too bad. Who deemed the issue credible? Chaminade, NOT the DA nor the PD. Only the school, they can't release his name phony name caller. Get over your anger, go volunteer at a rape crisis center, become a cop or prosecutor if you're so outraged. Again, YOU ARE A PHONY who hates the institution, you could care less about the victim.

This is no Duke matter, this is a Chaminade issue where they knew, made him resign but still let him teach for a year while they "investigated", THEN when they finally got their heads out of the sand they went to the DA because it was going to come out! You are now looking the other way by defending that school when heads should roll.
But its all fine with you and a ton of lemmings will have their boys take the test and pray to get in. They deserve better and the boys need to be protected. And the administration needs to answer for their handling of this, not sweep it under the rug with your silence/support.

Any college has respect for the Chaminade diploma? Check out how many Chaminade boys applied to Clemson and how many got accepted. Unless you are playing lacrosse in college or applying to a school in NY, most don't have any regard for it.
Like the post said "outside of NY". Plus when was the last time handwriting meant anything?

Please let us know which university so that all can avoid it. Your spelling and random capitalization doesn't say much if you are a teacher. Also, what university calls the people running the classes teachers? Aren't they professors at that point?
Don't English teachers/professors proofread stuff all day? Its really creepy how you decided to misrepresent yourself on a forum just to make point to make yourself feel better. Chaminade is a very good school and Im sure its very well regarded outside of NY, you can step off the ledge now.

Maybe if everyone stops responding to this one moron, he will go away!! I know it's hard when you read it, but let's give it a try!
Why is it anyones business but a parents and a student where they go to school. There are some who love Chaminade and others who hate it. Yet this on going debate is as silly as someone trying to tell me not to buy a car in a certain color. Its my choice as it is the choice of the parent and student. Chaminade might not be for everyone but it seems to have a great choice for many. To argue where a person spends their money and what school they send their child to is just crazy. Unless someone sending their child to a school will cause you some type of physical harm what right do you have to attack people who send their child to Chaminade/St. Anthonys/St. Doms/Kellenberg etc. Come on guys.
As for this situation that is going on lets let the law do its job and start talking lacrosse. There are some big games today.

Plenty of times. Not once did they care about my handwriting. They are witnessing a signature, not reading anything I wrote.
Now I know why your not talking lacrosse.

Thanks Crush daddy. We know already.
Saw those boys play, all 50 of them, very good bunch, I was extremely impressed. They beat our boys fair and square.
Article in the NY Daily News reporting on the Father Williams case states "In Williams case, Chaminade and the LI Catholic diocese brought in law enforcement swiftly and appear to have investigated vigorously."
The incident apparently took place in 2011, but the alleged victim didn't go to the diocese until 2015. At which point Chaminade did as they were required.

This game was over in the first 5 minutes. The St A FO kid dominated Charm in FO's. The game was won right there. That was an embarrassment loss for sure.
You know how to get a St. Anthony's grad off your porch?

Why? Because the better team won? That's not embarrassing, that's sports. Did you ever play? If you did you would realize how hard the kids work, it's disappointing, not embarrassing. Knock it off and enjoy the game pin head.

Did as they were required? I would expect more.
They knew when he resigned and then quietly disappeared. This move has been done before to protect bad priests. And it is not the only incident. Bank on it.

And...after game was over the Chaminade players stayed and clapped for the St A's kids and showed the class that the Catholics have for each other. They are all friends and play together in summer and winter. Good job by both teams.

The better team won and it wasn't close. St A stopped Chammy and scored down 2 player, right before half. That's Embarrassing. losing is one-thing. This wasn't just a loss? It was a domination. BTW pin head? You are into name calling? Very mature. The statement above is true and accurate. If you disagree then state your case. Chammy Dad who is a sore loser.
Despite the score, at times, it was still a good game to watch. As long as you didn't look at the scoreboard. That said, the way St. Anthony's moved the ball and the way the poles played and cleared it was amazing. I also recall a relative one man middie clear not sure who it was but athleticism at its best. Overall, some very quick hands and feet out there.
One critique, for all the goals that were scored, by St. Anthony's, in looking back at the film there could have been a few more back side "one more" looks for goals.
It was reminiscent of watching the boys play travel when they were younger and played an up and coming team; when you weren't sure if it was proper to clap or not after a score because the score was lopsided.
Lots of talent coming up on both schools. Learn to play like a team and for each other and the skies the limit for both schools. Glad to see St Doms and SJB getting into the mix they too have some talent on their future rosters.
Now on to rooting for our sons friends in Nassua and Suffolk leagues.
Would love to see a true tournament of Champions, reseed and mix publix with privates, but with that will come the All star team back lash. I say if NJ can do it why cant NY.

Did I strike a nerve "never laced up the cleats tuba player" Not a sore loser, you are a sore winner, which is waaay worse. All I said is it's a game, one team wins the other loses, it's never embarrassing. These boys work their tails off year round. They have nothing to be embarrassed about. Kind of like when you were in band and missed a note on the tuba, were you embarrassed? No you just hit the next note. What a tool, commenting negatively on young men with more class in their big toe than you have in your whole body. Sorry to shock you but my son doesn't go there he's a public.

So you THINK they knew, or do you KNOW they knew?
If you know they knew then by all means you should go to the DA and give them that evidence.
Is it not the only incident related to Father Williams, or is it not the only incident at the school? Again, since you are strident in your post please elaborate on where you got your facts. Or let us know if it is an opinion.
What's mature about calling a game embarrassing? Get a grip pal.

Dude...you are taking the bait my man..let him and his posts go..pretty soon he will just be answering himself on his posts...he/she is playing you for a sucka by coming back to him/her on the Chammy rants...
The above poster keeps writing about the minimum/required response by the school. What he/she has never stated is what the proper response should be. Explain what exactly you want. I'm sure everyone is interested. Validate your point with facts and explanations, not hyperbole.

Sounds like you were picked on a lot when you were in HS. One of the dumbest responses I have ever seen on this website. And that is saying something. This was not a competitive game. St A dominated. Ranting will not change that fact.
Yes big win for St A. It is about time they won. With all the scholarships they give and recruiting they do. Convincing kids to transfer in at 11th grade. Now lets see if they can do it again.
My only problem with the game was the coaches jumping around more than the kids were and acting like jerks. Act like you have been there before. Oh that is right they haven't in a long time.
Only bright side was it was finally lax weather. Now lets sit back and watch all the Chaminade kids playing this weekend in the NCAA's

Nope, played football, lacrosse and wrestled I am well adjusted, I commented that the boys should be praised for playing a sport. You commented on their "shame" for losing. Who has the issue tuba player?

two teams playing each other 3 times a year. How tedious and boring. Snooze fest. St. A's would be better off redirecting their athletic budget towards academics and Chaminade would be better off putting less emphasis on sports and more emphasis on keeping a leash on their employees.

Your green eyed jealousy is in full view. St A's is the top team on LI playing Chaminade and a lot of people were there in person along with college coaches, former students etc. And if its no big deal you sure as heck had to comment.....troll

Lets pump the brakes with the "top" team on LI stuff. You didnt play WM, WI, SE, or Pequa, relax
Kellenberg JV A win against St. Anthony's is just another sign of things to come, talent pool on LI spreading out, not favoring the big two as much anymore...Lots of talent at Kellenberg coming up, same at St. Dom's and St. John's...the Catholics are going to be better for it, better league play at home instead of one sided blowouts...Chaminade game should be interesting ( or not, whatever, this win is good for now) nice job by the Firebirds. Congrats boys! Now let's see if they can give that stacked Chaminade team a game. Good luck to both!

Your green eyed jealousy is in full view. St A's is the top team on LI playing Chaminade and a lot of people were there in person along with college coaches, former students etc. And if its no big deal you sure as heck had to comment.....troll
Lets pump the brakes with the "top" team on LI stuff. You didnt play WM, WI, SE, or Pequa, relax
SA beat Syo and Chammy beat Pequa. Do your own extrapolation.
SA travels to beat the best teams from Philly to Connecticut. Public schools staying home to beat on little programs are putting the brakes on their own development . SE?? Highly overrated. WI? Inconsistent. WM? Another stay local beat the little guys team.

This game was over in the first 5 minutes. The St A FO kid dominated Charm in FO's. The game was won right there. That was an embarrassment loss for sure.
Why? Because the better team won? That's not embarrassing, that's sports. Did you ever play? If you did you would realize how hard the kids work, it's disappointing, not embarrassing. Knock it off and enjoy the game pin head.
The better team won and it wasn't close. St A stopped Chammy and scored down 2 player, right before half. That's Embarrassing. losing is one-thing. This wasn't just a loss? It was a domination. BTW pin head? You are into name calling? Very mature. The statement above is true and accurate. If you disagree then state your case. Chammy Dad who is a sore loser.
Nobody cares outside these 2 schools. It's just a 3rd game. Big deal.
If no one cares then why are you on a Chammy thread? What an [lacrosse]....

Congrats boys! Now let's see if they can give that stacked Chaminade team a game. Good luck to both!
Relax. Nice win. Will lose to chaminade by 15!
Nothing changing.
I would think if Syosett or Pequa played either team 3 times, they would win a couple

You cant play the common opponents game, it is definitely not an accurate representation of anything. Now as far as the stay home and beat up on the little guys comment, I will agree with you. For some reason the Suffolk A teams dont schedule aggressively off of LI. I personally dont understand this, the only thing I can think of is maybe they feel they have enough competition locally and there are budget limitations? WI never plays a tough OOC schedule other than Chaminade, not sure about WM but I think its the same.
Now regarding SE being overrated, thats just silly. They did win Suffolk A last year and they are the favorites to do it again, cant use overrated when a team wins Suffolk A, sorry.
WI, inconsistent? Theyre 12-2 and theyve won 9 in a row, looks pretty consistent to me. The WI coaching is 2nd to none considering the talent they have to work with.
WM is a young team, remains to be seen what they will be.
I commend ST.Ants for going out and playing a tough OOC schedule and challenging their team but theres no way to know how they would fair against SE, WI, Pequa, WM, etc.
Crazy idea?...how bout the TOP LI teams--both Private (Catholic) and Public--have end of season tournament that would give all of us Lax lovers a chance to see great competitive games?..maybe do it for charity and play at Hofstra?...have an all-day schedule based upon power rankings?
Pipe dream?..oh well..

Only the second half of the season? the coaches were connected to only a handful of kids on that team all season. Kellenberg wanted that game way more. Pure fact.
Not one of those coaches would agree to it. Nothing to gain except more headaches from people complaining. Chammy wins and everyone talks about all star team prep school crap. They lose and they are beaten down. Syosset keeps it to a scrimmage one because they are friends and two because you don't want to chance another loss or injury. Why do you think GC and Chammy don't even scrimmage?? Mass same boat as Syosset.
What needs to happen is like college Rank the teams with 2 weeks left in season and have the best play the best with one champion. If you want to have a so called D2 or D3 so be it but at least you would have some kind of cross over and teams playing different teams. Would not extend season more than it is because you can play 2 games a week. You can invite the likes of St A and Chammy but as soon as Chammy or ST A wins the complaints will come they should not be in

There is a limit on the number of games a team can play during a season.
Unaware that there was a limit...figured if it were end of season tournament, that would be ok.
Think it would great fundraising opportunity that would pack a stadium..
But I guess its same reason that the Travel Lax teams from LI don't stay home and play each other--bragging rights and all.

That doesn't really make sense. If that were the case there would be no crime anywhere now would there. They did what was right once they were notified. If you don't like it, get your son out of the school.

HHW tried playing Calvert Hall this season and got smoked, I like the attempt though, challenge your team. Only way to get better and see where youre at.
Typical Chaminade arrogance, nobody else ever improves, they just get lucky, right...how do you explain the letdown of your football season? You have coaches leaving because they see the talent drop off coming up. News flash dude, cream of the crop aren't always picking Chaminade anymore...it's starting to level out and this is a fact...so 15 goal beat down is your prediction, not seeing it...can't wait to see this game...

two teams playing each other 3 times a year. How tedious and boring. Snooze fest. St. A's would be better off redirecting their athletic budget towards academics and Chaminade would be better off putting less emphasis on sports and more emphasis on keeping a leash on their employees.
They should play just 1x at the end of the year. As for your other suggestions..

Wrong.....the schools enjoy the crowds that show up. The players enjoy playing against each when they play. College coaches show up in good numbers to all the games. The publics can do what they do and frankly the catholic league could care less. Its only the publics that want to snipe and change what is arguably one of the best rivalries on Long Island. Have a great day.

Is this game played at night or is the championship always mid afternoon? ...if not why wouldn't the game be played when they get the biggest crowd to see the greatest show on earth
Every team has the ability to go to the championships and states so saying there is a limit is not of any concern. If you go to states you are playing 5 more games than any other team. Do away with the playoffs and rank them and start the tourney same time you would start playoffs and you would be playing the same number of games
So saying there is a limit is not the problem

Federation rules state that the limit is 16 plus sectional and state playoff games. Schools that can recruit have a distinct advantage over those that cannot.
playoffs? the Chaminade/Anthonys "playoff" for State Championship is a waste . that's not a playoff. is that the limit of total games that those two teams can play?

Maybe if the Big 2 would relax the transfer rules and not hold kids hostage there would be more parity. They don't want their third and fourth stringers coming back to haunt them. Is there any risk of a kid transferring from Kberg, Doms, Trinity or St Johns to St Anthonys or Chaminade? Fat chance. Let your sophomores that you have no intent on playing transfer without sitting out a year. Then maybe there would be a competitive league of more than two teams.

This supposed restriction sounds illegal or at least like a lawsuit waiting to happen if it's indeed true. Are you kidding? I've never heard of such BS at the high school level. Why single out athletics as a restriction for transfers? Why not math or science? I hope it's not true otherwise it's an outrageous restriction that should be fought.

It's not a supposed restriction. It's absolutely true. And its ridiculous. Don't end up in my situation, having my son have to sit out league games if he wants to transfer. I found out too late that he would have had to leave after his freshmen year to have been able to play elsewhere. Makes me hate Chaminade even more, because you know if this rule hurt them, it would have been changed or never implemented in the first place.

The restriction on transfers is a NYS Education Department rule. There is no restriction is a student's residence moves from one district to another. If there is no residence change, then the student is ineligible for one year. Students who transfer from any school to the public school district of his residence of a private school within that district will recieve a waiver. As an example, if a student lived in South Huntington but went to Chaminade can transfer to Whitman or St. Anthony's without sitting out a year

Not supposed, not illegal and it is not the individual school's rule.

So for a student to transfer from one private school to another, the private school he wants to go to has to be in the same town that he already lives?

Well, you can sleep easy knowing that Chaminade's transfer rules are far stricter than anyone else's, since, well, the school doesn't allow any transfers.

Let your sophomores that you have no intent on playing transfer without sitting out a year. Then maybe there would be a competitive league of more than two teams.
This supposed restriction sounds illegal or at least like a lawsuit waiting to happen if it's indeed true. Are you kidding? I've never heard of such BS at the high school level. Why single out athletics as a restriction for transfers? Why not math or science? I hope it's not true otherwise it's an outrageous restriction that should be fought.
It's not a supposed restriction. It's absolutely true. And its ridiculous. Don't end up in my situation, having my son have to sit out league games if he wants to transfer. I found out too late that he would have had to leave after his freshmen year to have been able to play elsewhere. Makes me hate Chaminade even more, because you know if this rule hurt them, it would have been changed or never implemented in the first place.
Well, you can sleep easy knowing that Chaminade's transfer rules are far stricter than anyone else's, since, well, the school doesn't allow any transfers.
Correct me if I am wrong but It looks to me like if you transfer out of Chaminade and go back to your public high school you DONT have to sit out a year? If you try to transfer to another private that is not in your town, you DO have to sit out a year?
I dont get this Chaminade hate. Everyone who goes there knows the policies. They dont take transfers after freshman year and you can leave whenever you want. They are an all boy school that wears uniforms that is the upper tier of Catholic Schools on Long Island. You pay to go and take the risk of not making the team. These are givens and known by all. You can transfer out whenever you want and go back to your school district. You cant transfer in so they risk losing players and not having the players to transfer in. So it goes both ways. Some students think Chaminade is for them and it doesn't work so the transfer out. This can happen at any time. There are kids whos parents force them to go and they end up loving it. Its a crap shoot. It has always been this way and if you as a parent didnt do your homework shame on you not the school.
The barbarians are at the gate. In order to thrive in the long run Chaminade needs a huge makeover to adapt to changing times and both on and off the field. How many faculty scandals and mediocre lacrosse seasons will they endure before they bow to the pressures for change?
Congrats to chaminade JVA. 14-7 win over kellenberg. Phenomenal team. ( from a kellenberg parent)
It was a great game all the young men deserve a great big pat on the back. congrats to both teams for making the finals and playing so well against each otherKEA

Chill out, go watch the Yankees, you're making no sense. No Barbarians at he gate, and the school has thrived for 80 plus years. They adapt to changing times just fine. Need a weight room to keep your kids out of Gold's Gyms, build one. Athletic program outpacing older facilities, build a state of the art building. Need fields for football/lacrosse, buy one. Need to upgrade academic offerings, build a new Science and Technology building.
And trust me, the administration isn't as concerned about the wins and losses of any particular team, as they are about developing the kids as responsible young men. The faculty scandal, horrible for sure, but not a part of any pattern. But I wouldn't sit by the front door waiting for the newspaper reporting wholesale changes at Chaminade in response to outside pressures.
Now enjoy your beer, and mind your own business.

EXACTLY! same guy who hates Chaminade and keeps posting. It is obvious his son had a bad experience or he had a bad experience. A great institution with a storied history.

Relax. Nice win. Will lose to chaminade by 15!
Nothing changing.
So, like I said...not to sure about a 15 point blowout... And it didn't happen! It was a good competitive game, Was even closer than that score, Get back a couple of give me goals and a few of the throwaways and maybe, just maybe this one stays in doubt into second half. Congrats to Chaminade. Some real crisp passing and hard nosed D. They came to play. Good season for both teams to build on. Considering 6-7 of Kellenberg starters were freshman, gotta think this makes my point that talent pool has spread out some...see ya next next Catholic league!
So I'm just curious. I've heard that this Chaminade JV team is the best ever. How do they only beat KBerg 14-7?
10 2 at half. Took out starters. As they did in every game this season
Both teams played the bench second half, and that just proves the point further, with key players out of the game, kind of a stalemate....the blue chips may still gravitate to big 2, but the talented player seeking playing time doesn't always choose them anymore, Kellenberg has early commits too as does Saint John's...whatever...agree to disagree, As Long as St. Anthony's wasn't there, that's a win

10 2 at half. Sounds like they took foot off pedal. They were right on pace for the 15 goal predication.

I'm fascinated about the parents of this Chaminade JV team claiming to be the "best ever". Weren't the current juniors the FIRST team EVER to go 31-0 at Chaminade their freshman and sophomore years? I think they might have something to say about who the "best team" ever is at Chaminade. They too did not have a close game (the closest anyone came was 4 goals - there was no overtime game against St As for them as there was for you).
Parents of current JV team - there have been and will be a lot of great teams at Chaminade. Show some respect to those that have come before and some humility to your opponents. Just play the games - nothing matters except varsity...

"as long as St. Anthony's was there" Oh there is a whole year to poke that sleeping giant. That should be fun.
Question do the Catholics keep their teams together as a HS team (Not club) for any summer tournaments. Either Varsity or JV events. Seems with all the banter that would be a good thing for all involved. Okay maybe not Chaminade and St. Anthony's as much but the rest.

I know that, but do the schools (all of them) pull them back for a tournament or two or do a summer league together (like summer captain's practices). I know SJB used to do a summer league. do the rest.

Yes they sometimes do. That is what caused the big feud last summer between Chaminade and For the Love of the Green

Yes indeed. Wankoff cut all the Chammy players who showed allegiance to JM. Guy is a colassal jackass and weak coach.
Chammy has it all over St A's Program is all about who donats $, Talent or potential does not realy matter to KW or Old man shriver
Couldn't agree more
Truest words ever written on here. St Anthony's lacrosse has been the biggest disappointment to many.
Not to mention KW is the worst coach ever and wins only because he gets the talent.
"donations" in the form of home improvements for some coaches to let certain sub-par players start are not unheard of either
Herd KW gets Brennan O'Neill next year.
Who's that?
Why isn't MC the varsity coach for St. Anthonys?

Great question. I'm guessing the label of " conflict of interest" is probably something that has been discussed as a negative for the school.
He and JL should most definitely be the V coaches for myriad reasons.

But if he became the V coach he would be forced to have to learn the kids' names LOL

Strictly pay for play. No politics.
Chaminade will have more sophs on varsity next year than they have had in total over the past 10 years. Barbarians at the gate crashing it down.

This fool probably meant the 2018 sophomores aka next years juniors Looks to me like he is just trying to stir the pot and get you worked up Its best to ignore him
Serious question - what is the aversion towards underclass players being on varsity at Chaminade? Wouldn't it be better to have 5 excellent Sophs on the team that are good enough to see the field rather than 5 seniors who stand at the end of the bench never to set foot on the field? Can somebody explain the philosophy of why so different than the elite private schools around the country?

Not what happened. Players sign a code of ethics stating that the club team takes priority in the summer. Those boys committed to play in a summer tourney and then backed out 5 days before leaving the balance of the team short handed. Wink then told them not to bother coming to the last tournament.

Sophomores overrated, they will see when they have to play with the big boys!
First you will not have 4 or 5 sophs good enough to take the place of seniors or juniors. It is rare that a kid that good comes through. It has happened if I AM not mistaken twice in the last 10 years. Yes there are kids standing on the sidelines but a lot of those kids standing on the sidelines are better than the sophs.
As good as you think the sophs are they are not going against bigger, stronger, faster NASTIER senior and juniors. Stepping up to varsity at Chaminade is a big jump in talent. Not to mention the other teams they play and those players.

The soph class has two Duke commits, one ND, one Hopkins and one North Carolina. I concede that commitments are not always an indicator of how kids will play. However, many times they are. Those schools know what they are doing. Have to think those kids are going to step in and play a critical role next year. Crazy to think otherwise.

They will be juniors - so yes some will step in and play just like the current juniors stepped in and played.
But there will be no sophomores on the varsity next year.

There is no doubt those kids are talented players. Just remember those commitments are based on current skill level, competing against kids the same age, as well as the college coaches projection of where they might be as far as size, speed, skill level and lacrosse IQ when they graduate H.S. Some of them may be able to compete and contribute as a freshman or sophomore, but most will not and have small roles if they are lucky that they will build on as they become juniors and seniors. It is happening all over Long Island every season. When that kid lines up for that first high school game and the junior or senior across from him is 6ft. 200lbs and a good athlete, it doesn't matter how good that underclassman was during his summer club season before freshman year. Size, speed and experience will eventually win out. When all is said and done those kids with the big commitments will most likely have great high school careers. Just don't rush it because it's harder than it looks when it's men against boys. That's why it's special when you hear about a kid like the 8th grader at Bayshore or a freshman or sophmore carrying a team because It just doesn't happen very often.

Well said, and many of those early Cham commits got their commitments off [lacrosse] kissing on the privilaged summer circut, which not everyone can afford. They are not even close to the 8th grader in size or talent. Time will tell how it all pans out. Many of the bragging fathers will get a dose of humble pie when they see what LI varsity is all about!
Go back in the threads by year EVERY year the dads of rising sophomores always say their group will kill it and be a sure bet and be a varsity starter. EVERY YEAR it plays out the same. It doesn't happen.

Just look at this season for Chammy. All those commits and just were not that good of a team? The early commit thing is a gamble for colleges. sometimes it pays off. Some times the later commits are more of a sure thing.

Don't forget that at Chaminade you also need to play the politics game as well in order to play. Just donate a lot of money to the team or basically kiss [lacrosse] to anyone on the coaching staff (their egos are so big they eat that stuff up - it seems like the best way to get on the field).
Sure seemed like there were a bunch of Chaminade grads playing significant minutes in the final 4 this weekend. Guess all that [lacrosse] kissing is still going on even after they start college

It's not the top 4 guys I'm talking about - they would play no matter what. It's the next 10 guys where all the bs happens...

Don't forget that at Chaminade you also need to play the politics game as well in order to play. Just donate a lot of money to the team or basically kiss [lacrosse] to anyone on the coaching staff (their egos are so big they eat that stuff up - it seems like the best way to get on the field).
OK, your idiotic post doesn't deserve a serious reply, but I'll take the bait. So you actually believe the Cham coaches play less talented kids because of donations and [lacrosse]-kissing? With (i) one of the toughest schedules in the country and (ii) with all the scrutiny and pressure that goes along with the lacrosse program at Chaminade, do you really believe these coaches don't play their top ~15 kids? You may dislike Chaminade or have an ax to grind, but don't insult our intelligence. Or perhaps you are a Cham daddy and little Johnny is parked on the bench. If that is the case, keep deluding yourself that it is all "political" if that helps you sleep better at night. You are just one among a large group of Cham-bashing clowns who knows nothing about the school or the coaches there. I played for JM and with 2 of the assistants currently on staff. If you knew these guys (clearly you do not) you might have a better understanding of just how idiotic you sound.
At my son's school, the coach sits down with every player at the end of the season and tells him what he'd like him to work on in the off season. This happens even with the seniors on their way to play in college. Do the Chaminade coaches care enough to do this with their players individually? Or is it just "coaching" based on fear and intimidation unless you are already one of the studs?
Did they tell your son, your father is a tool?

No, didn't have to tell the kid...that's something that is understood by all so no need to mention it..

Never in a million years would they take the time to do the right thing like this. Too busy cashing checks and riding the greed bus. I wonder if these fine men tithe 10% of their Express profits back to the Church?
Any truth to the rumor that Chaminade and St. Anthony's are fielding 2 varsity teams next year?
can you imagine the political implications??/ it would be awesome to listen to the pundits

always good to see the Chaminade site up and running.
Don't be silly. There will not be 'A' and 'B' teams, but instead 'AA' and 'A' teams.
mommy will call them both AA
When there are 55 kids on the sidelines just standing there wasting their time, then it makes sense having two teams. The kids need to play and get experience before they all go to college.

I believe St A's has had a second team for years? No? I believe they call it varsity Gold.
Ok I have to ask why is it such an awful idea when they can easily field these teams. Not too many publics have 500 boys in one grade. It has no affect on the public school kids.
Yes maybe they want more spots to keep the kids that chose the chaminade education .
Every conversation to do with chaminade turns to insults, which is ridiculous. If you don't like the school then don't send your son there. If you don't them it really doesn't concern you.
I can't tell you how frustrating it is to have jock dads in my own neighborhood question my son about his choice of high school and whether he'd make sports at chs. everyone minds the chaminade business. Petty.

Not petty, jealous. All their bosses are Chaminade men.
I think its a great idea if the both fielded B teams with set rosters and had them compete in the lower tier catholic division. it would be better for all involved. smaller teams and more competitive games in D2.
It's complete JEALOUSY!
just because no one in the office likes them isn't because they are bosses or better, just d bags .
Meanwhile, up in Lake Placid, Chaminade loses to Sweetlax 14-5
No opponent should play the B team
the only D-bag here is the loser who starts this nonsense,

I think it's great, my son plays with a lot of Chaminade kids on is club team, very good players some would not get any run on varsity . So two teams make sense.

Let's go with the LIE model and have three varsity teams. Then St. A's can have three varsity teams too and they can play each other three times a year, with the championship for next 30 years already set.. LOL
Team Wiezorek, Team Schreiber and Team Chanenchuk.

No sense getting all worked up about summer league stuff.
(Though, on the other side of that, I'm happy to see that Chaminade won that National HS Lacrosse Showcase. Was this a real event? There seemed like a good amount of high school "teams" in attendance. Let's hope that success translates into a better spring season than last year's.)
this is going to get interesting! if Chammy makes two teams

Not a Chaminade family but we have many friends on the current team. We were at the National High School showcase in Maryland and I can say without any hesitation that the competition was 1st class and Chaminade ran the table of all the top MIAA teams to win the championship. Based on what I saw, Chaminade has a chance to be one of the best teams in the country next spring.

Yes we do
Chaminade will be the top team on LI next year

It was a team made up of Chaminade kids who wanted to support the Lead the Way Fund. Some of them had not played Chaminade lacrosse since 9th or 10th grade. Some were Varsity starters. Some were team managers. Others were somewhere in-between. They were all there to raise money and awareness for the Lead the Way Fund in Jimmy Regan's memory and to continue the brotherhood and camaraderie that they have built together at Chaminade.

If you don't make the Freshman team is your lax career at Chaminade pretty much done? Do they geta lot of kids that leave after year 1 for this reason?
So does this mean our kids can transfer out to any other schools in the league and not have to sit a year ?

They should encourage those who will not play to transfer. The entire league needs to be better. But the LIE directors love their monopoly. Sure they will let other Catholic league coaches coach for the LIE. But they will never encourage them to get real players. Truly a shame.

I guess you don't get that the reference is to the fact there was a rumor of having two Varsity teams. One an A and one a B. The person was referring to how clubs call teams AA, A, and B. As to garner more people trying out and not offend anyone. No one wants to really play on a B or C team so clubs make up the the designation of AA, A, and B. Rather than A, B, C. So this person is mocking the calling of both Varsity teams AA.

Great job up at PLACID guys. "Lead the Way" runs the table on the field and raises a very nice sum of money for the cause. Team made up mostly of Chaminade grads get it done against all comers

Alright.. That's enough, please!
In the HS Years of Soph and Jr yr does Chaminade/express have a school specific summer team. At the Express tryouts there was a good mix of Chaminade and the other catholic school teams helmets. Enough where each school may have enough to field a team. Why not make a school specific team, sprinkling in the better non catholic school players between them? One would think that'll be a better model in the HS years.
sprinkle in the better non catholic h.s. players to supplement the awesome Chaminade, St.Ants lacrosse Gods??? That's pretty arrogant.
.....maybe some of the better catholic school kids could stay in hometown during summer like G.C. or CSH and play .

The issue is people who send their kids to Chaminade solely to play lacrosse. Then they freak if their kid isnt the #1 stud at their position and go running back to their public school. All I know is 25 years from now most would rather have had the Chaminade degree as opposed to that of their local high school. Even my friends who didnt enjoy their time there admit, 25 years later, that Chaminade has helped them in business and in life. Leaving for lacrosse is just terribly short sighted so I hope that is not the reason. Very sorry to see any of these kids leave (especially with two years under their belt) but wish them all the best.

No, if they played lacrosse they have their freshman year as a freebie. Then you must decide if you are staying or going. You play JV as a sophomore and you are stuck having to sit out your Junior year if you want to transfer. Keep that in mind as MC goes around promising the world to every 6-8th grader. He could care less if they play varsity. If they do great. But if not, at best he stocks the St. Anthony's pool of players and at worst just keeps them from other privates.

You are sorry to see them leave?? What do you care? Are you a coach, teacher, priest? What if the kid wants to play lacrosse in college? Granted a very good academic school but wants the experience of actually playing lacrosse. This is the mentality of all the Chammy zombies. They say, who cares if most of the children absolutely hate their 4 years of high school? I have some news for that North Shore crowd, money doesn't always buy happiness.
"North Shore" ...such a hater...

You want to capitalize, have at it, but I think the place doesn't rate capitalization. You chammy boys want to make everything bigger associated with the place, let's get it straight, its a high school. If you are still talking about that instead of your college degree then something is wrong.
man, you are one angry guy...let it go already....think Festivus

Too many of these 2020 incoming to Chammy or St Ants claiming they are "scholarshipped" to these schools. I have not heard of this for purposes of lacrosse. Top students do receive waivers based on tests or grades obtained as time goes on. The kids and parents are putting this statement out there of tuition free for lax. I cant imagine it to be true. Please confirm. Poor taste to be stating this on the parent and players part.
Call Chaminade and report the offenders. they would be anxious to protect their integrity and stifle bad info.
(516) 742 - 5555
(516) 742 - 5555
ever think they may be top students as well
They have stated its for lax, at St Ants I have heard. This is inappropriate if true or just parent lies. Either way its wrong.

Agree, but who cares if some kid (or parent) runs their mouth pretending to be on scholarship when they aren't. Been around Chaminade for 25 years. Do athletes get a little nudge through admissions when their test scores are borderline? Yes. Are scholarships given? Yes, but only for academics. Those are the facts. Anybody saying they were given an athletic scholarship to attend Chaminade is not telling the truth.

One more fact - How about another group of reclassed 2019's joining the ranks of this year's entering freshmen classes at these schools? Really something that chips away at the integrity of their programs. Too bad the schools are not above this!

Sports scholarships at Chaminade? Where are u getting your facts from?
No sports scholarships at Chaminade. I'm sure there are great students that received a scholarship who also play lax.....
Chaminade will never take a kid who can't get through the academics rigors.....
Chaminade will never take a kid who can't get through the academics rigors.....
If top end academic Division III colleges can give 'academic' scholarships to athletes, don't think it is beyond Chaminade to do it . . .
Chammy and Channy.... sounds similar. I wonder if the same ongoings also happen.
St ants do this ?

That's because Chaminade doesn't make great students. They accept great students, that in turn, make the academic stats look good. These are kids that would be AP type kids if they stayed public. No ESL kids, no behavioral kids, no learning disabilities, no ADHD. They weed out anyone that brings down the numbers. Now, if they took average kids and turned them into great students, I'd be impressed.
Silly statement, they are private, parents pay to send their kids, therefore the school can be selective, public must accept everyone who wants to go. Can't compare, cant be angry. That's the system, you don't like it....don't send your son.

One more fact - How about another group of reclassed 2019's joining the ranks of this year's entering freshmen classes at these schools? Really something that chips away at the integrity of their programs. Too bad the schools are not above this!
Reclassed 2019's? I thought only Maryland and Canadian kids are reclassed?
Nope. The holdback trend has moved to Long Island.
cant believe a kid at chaminade reclassed to 2020 . he is a special player

Has he committed
A special player plays against kids a year younger.

Not silly at all, in fact you just agreed with me. Yes they are selective. All kids were great students to begin with. They only selected top scorers. Chaminade doesn't "make kids great". The kids make Chaminade great. Not sure why you can't comprehend that. These same kids would be AP kids in their respective districts. Not comparing anything. Simply stating the school didn't make them great students, they already were to begin with. Chaminade does not take average student and make them better, the simply don't let them in. Not angry in the least. I think you're a bit defensive. n
A Chaminade kid should NOT be reclassifying for academic reasons by virtue of . . . you know . . . being a student at Chaminade!!
Not for a second

The trend is all over the lacrosse club scene. Especially in MD and MA. The other thing is parents just holding their kids back in kindergarten and then repeating 9th as they transfer to a private. This trend has been going on for a while and has started to become more prevalent on Long Island. Many so called elite players have been playing down for most of their playing days in club ball.
is there a difference between a reclassified and a hold back? Chaminade has at least one hold back should have been class of 2016

semantics
Lets do this comparison. You have states like MD where the kindergarten cutoff date is Sept. So now a Sept 2000 kid in NY would be a 2018 grad. In Maryland he or she is now going to start school next Sept so will be a 2019. Parents hold back and now is a 2020 graduate. Now this MD kid decides to go to a private after doing a 9th grade year in public school and will repeat that 9th grade year at private so is now a 2021 graduate of high school. Happens all the time.

What I don;t get is that if a kid is a holdback AND reclassifies, before 10th grade, don't recruiters see through this and basically realize they are watching a 'high school' kid dominate middle schoolers??

Usually reclassified is when they change grades after starting school (the "re-" part) and hold backs are when they don't start kindergarten according to their age (hold back from starting school).

not a chance 3 sport star qb in football , point guard in basketball was a top scorer on long island as a hold back 8th grader brother plays at a top d1 school
so to be clear. if you repeat a year when you enter say, Chaminade, its reclassification not hold back?

That's not going to change in college - will always be playing against younger kids. It's not like he has to jump to his junior year when he enters college at 20 yrs old.

Not sure why you're so hung up on the terminology, but yes - I believe so. And if you graduate from HS, then go to a private school for another year before college, that's a PG (post-graduate) year. All have the same result - kids who are older than they should be for their grade (based on birthdate).

Emotional stability? What does the boy say to his friends. How does a boy who already matured in certain areas of his life fit in with his peers. What about life after lacrosse
Was he a team player?
What level of competition
Not defensive, kid doesn't go there, I am a little sick of seeing the same Chaminade bashers on here over and over....or is it the same person just spouting more nonsense. WHO CARES what Chaminade does if your son doesn't go there? I don't care what they do, just like I don't care what any school my children don't attend does. Nor should you.

It's interesting but most boys don't know even know that a kid is a holdback. Many of the players who are holdbacks get accolades due to being great athletes and as a result this surpasses much of the stigma of being a holdback. There are a few kids that were the early commits to schools that are holdbacks on the Chaminade team. They are great players but not as great as they once we're because others have gone through puberty and caught up or passed them in size and skill. Yet they received the early commitment.
Not a Chaminade Basher . I think quite well of Chaminade. Just some honest questions about a boys development . That might provoke some thought

Since when does the school allow this sort of thing to happen?
I can see kids who were maybe held back a year upon entry to pre-K or kindergarten (this sort of thing sometimes happens with public school kids as well), but Chaminade isn't taking 9th graders and allowing them to start over, nor are they accepting students who somehow did 8th grade twice.

They take a kid who takes entrance exam and then will go to a private school for one year for 9th then do 9th again at Chaminade.

How do you characterize a kid who was left back in grade school for academic or social maturation issues years before they or their parents ever considered youth lacrosse. Should such kids be stigmatized if they excel in 7th, 8th grades because they are older? I think not.
I don't believe parents on LI have been holding their kids back in kindergarten in the hopes that the kid plays lacrosse later on in the and that they get a leg up on the competition. Also, kids go through puberty at different ages - should an early bloomer be looked at negatively because they are bigger and stronger?
Get real.

Most don't continue to standout. When you've been playing down for the last five years it's tough to face men who are just as big and strong. Only now they're more talented. It's called facing the music. My 16 yo played in committed games this summer, he was playing against many 19 and 20 year old 2016's. Not all that great skill wise. Some gave him cheap shots when they got burned, kind of laughable actually. I predict many of these kids moving forward will wash out, get cut, or never play.

Ehh there are parents that start trying to have their families in Feb, March so they are born in Nov, Dec. So they can be in the next year's class of kindergarten. As for kids being left back. When was the last time you heard of a kid on Long Island being left back. Lol. Parents plan these things. You would be very surprised what parents do to have their child have an advantage.

You are wrong!
Yes, they absolutely have taken these student/athletes. So have the other privates/catholics.
It is a shamefully encouraged by the parents and club coaches.
The trick is to repeat an 8th grade year at a private then enter as a freshman in a catholic.
As to an earlier post--- Yes, the kids in these schools know who the holdbacks are. Especially the kids one year ahead of them. Many played with or against the holdbacks when they were playing CYO hoops/ baseball, Pop warner football, or PAL Lax on appropriate grade levels.
Cheating is cheating. I wish the schools had standards and the parents had ethics.
They absolutely take kids who went to 8th grade twice. I am friends with two of them. Now giving out athletic scholarships, that I haven't heard of.

Well, they had the worst year in recent Chaminade history, so clearly something was wrong there.

Not what was written by the first poster, he/she stated that the kids "checked out" once they committed. Where did this information come from? Parent? Coach? Student-athlete? Or is this an opinion, which should then be stated as such, not as if this is something known. Nonsense statement, they didn't check out, they were a BAD football team, it happens.
I guess the scholarship money all went to lacrosse
Now that school has started - any word on whether this Varsity A and B teams are happening at Chaminade and St. As?
why are you afraid to call school and ask for A.D.?
Can only speak from experience at Chaminade - 100% NO Lacrosse Scholarships, and 100% NO entrance exam waived.

Does Chaminade offer academic scholarships? There are no athletic scholarships in college Div III sports, yet they happen under the auspices of academic scholarships for the undeserving. Considering that that is governed by the NCAA, with severe sanctions for violation, why would you think that it can't happen in a self-regulated scenario? I take it that the student athlete would still have to pass the entrance exam.
yes they offer hold backs and repeaters full tuition and transportation

No doubt, but I never read any proven facts on chaminade thread. Just opinions presented as facts. Name a person who got wait listed. I have never heard nor seen this. Have you? Elaborate on your statement or it is nothing more than an uneducated guess.

It is a fact. Not writing kids names on here but 3 kids from my sons team were originally waitlisted. Why is that hard to believe?
They accept a certain amount of kids. Some decide on other schools. They go down the list.
So you believe what your kids friends tell you ?? Good source.

Not at all. But the parents who were at Kellenbergs orientation and said they were on wait list, and then went to Chaminade, I believe. Seems unlikely to lie about that as an adult??
If someone says NO to Chaminade do you think they go with one less student?? What do you think happens??
Hard to believe because I know many Chaminade alumni and current students and never heard that. By the way, my sons friends told me about killer clowns in the neighborhood. I'll keep my eyes peeled.

Why wouldn't Chaminade have a waitlist? Most (at least slightly) selective schools in the world have one (and logically should).
Doesn't mean they're somehow letting in unqualified people as some sort of backdoor to having high academic standards.

I know of more than a few kids waitlisted that are now attending Chaminade.
Like the comment about the kids who said NO to Chaminade. Don't know even one kid who said no to Chaminade, not one, and frankly I don't believe there is one. Sorry, too good of a school

Are you serious ??? You think everyone that put chaminade as one of the choices and got in goes there ??? Some just put to see if they could get in. It's a very good school , it's not that good of a school.

My son was waitlisted and accepted a month later.
Applicants "have to put Chaminade first" out of the three choices. What percentage of boys who get accepted would say no ? No need for a wait list. I went there as well as my son and have never heard of one

Wrong. Completely wrong. This isn't a debate. They have a waitlist. Lots of kids from manhasset , garden city , RVC take the test and decide for one reason or another not to go there. I'm not saying "I know a guy" , my son was wait listed . Get over it. They do it. Great school .....some people say no
Lots of kids say no. Some public school kids aren't sure so they take the test and keep their options open and after thinking about it decide against the commitment required, some kids I know end up getting into and attending Regis and more kids are going to Kellenberg. "You have to list it first" is an urban legend. My son listed it second and got in but chose to attend Kellenberg (his first choice). I think if you list it first you get a little more leeway or benefit of the doubt - which is the intention of the ranking process. I know of two of my son's friends who were waitlisted then accepted within a month or so who are now attending. I think the hardest part about Chaminade is getting in, once you are there everyone there is at least capable of making it, provided they put in the required effort.

My son was admitted and said no. I know other kids as well that decided not to attend. Each kid/family had their own reasons. It appears everyone is happy with their decisions. Great school, but not the only option or for all kids.

So all that your post gives us is two more d-bags to look out for.
Open house today. Lots of 4'11" kids wearing their club swetshirts to impress JM.
My son was accepted but decided not to attend. As much as he would have loved to play lacrosse there (and who knows if he would have made the team) it was the lack of AP classes and the lackluster math and science curriculum, plus the lack of diversity, that informed his decision. Hopefully with the new center things will change academically. My son went on to play college lacrosse at a top tier D 3 academic and lax school. Please no disparaging comments about D3 schools. The Chaminade decision was right for him and that is all that matters. Chaminade is a great school for many, but it is not for every boy. So, yes some decide not to attend.

Are you serious ??? You think everyone that put chaminade as one of the choices and got in goes there ??? Some just put to see if they could get in. It's a very good school , it's not that good of a school.
Agreed, but Regis is! You know, that school where almost no one at Chaminade could get into...

We arson a lacrosse board... Regis doesn't have a lacrosse team!
Did you read the post? I wrote that I don't know any kids who turned Chaminade down. I didn't write anything about every kid who is offered getting in. I don't know a single young man offered a spot who said no. I do know a few who left after a year, but not too many.

And then you said "...frankly , I don't think there is one too good a school to turn down"
Actually - my son is a sophomore. He got into cham and chose to go to school in NYC..
It happens.
It happens.
so, record straight...I know of at least six boys who made Chaminade as first choice and chose to go elsewhere...my son included...I spoke about this several months ago that the draw isn't what it used to be, so the athletics is showing a resulting decline...look at the football program, it's in shambles, lacrosse is still good, but no doubt not as strong as it could be, the student athlete, the best athletes are not automatically drawn to the red helmet anymore...to much politics and travel team favoritism...it's what kept us away...best player doesn't always get past the old boy network,...and don't talk to me about the number of lacrosse early commits, other schools have just as many. anyway, generally, early committing the top athletes just makes them gun shy to play other sports, so those kids aren't available come later years to help the school maintain an athletic standard in contact sports....academics is still top level, but so are other schools. it's a fact....other schools are on the rise...
I put Chaminade 3rd many years ago and still was accepted.
Tel me the schools equal with Chaminade. No sarcasm, asking if there is a school in Nassau or Suffolk that compares academically, athletically and alumni strength with Chaminade.
uh, how bout Roosevelt HS for one?

Look at private school ranking nationwide and see where they are compared to your local HS nationally with the public rankings. There were a dozen LI schools in top 500. Chaninade is not even close to top 500 private nations wide.
Ahhh, there is the sarcasm.

Jericho Soccer was 2011, 2012 and 2013 state champions. And compete in many other sports besides lacrosse. 27th best academic HS in country. Not a lacrosse school, but certainly checks a lot of other boxes. With your theory, Chaminade can not be a "SPORTS JUGGERNAUT" because their varsity football team won .............ZERO ....count them .....zero games last year?
If you're a top student, I'd say CSH, Set and GC (in that order) are on par with Chammy. But if you're a student who isn't the top of the class, chaminade is a good choice. Those 3 public schools have the resources for the top kids to really excel. But there is a lot more to a chaminade education than books. Chaminade teaches young men how to prepare for the future, meaning college and beyond

I'm a Chaminade alum and soon-to-be Manhasset homeowner, and freely admit that Manhasset High School is academically stronger than Chaminade.
I'm still planning to send my sons to Chaminade.
(Who the [lacrosse] knows what I'll do if I have a daughter.)

Parents should be preparing their young men for the future. I would not leave it up to a teacher or brother. There has been some bad press there too??!!
Plenty of great schools on Long Island. The special students and athletes will always get recognized.
No one has commented on alumni. Chaminade has a very powerful alumni group. So much so that they are in discussions to make the school tuition free in the future. Agreed that those publics are comparable re: education & athletics, but what of alumni?

You don't think Manhasset or garden City have an aliumni base ?

One of the reasons we wanted our son to try Chaminade was because their networking is so great. I do believe it is, but a friend pointed out how many people we know that are unemployed, young and old, that are Chaminade graduates. If you are smart, motivated and a hard worker, you'll end up at a great college where networking will be just as important. It's nice to have connections, but there are other ways of networking than just through your HS.
It was a question, why getting hostile? The question is about the alumni base at the public's as compared to Chaminade, never said it was non existent asked about it.

When was the last time Jericho won championships in basketball, hockey, wrestling or baseball? C'mon, don't compare Jericho athletics to Chaminade athletics just because Chaminade's football team has fallen on tough times. Stop. Great academic school -- leave it at that.

You mean the fake catholic school championships ??
The point wasn't comparing the two football programs. Obviously you went to. Either school.
The football championship is legit. the football team plays a very difficult schedule and earns the championship if and when it wins.
you seem to be confusing this with the lax "championship" . I agree with the skeptical view. beating st.ants in playoff game , then declaring team state champs is a bit overboard ...but that's not the kids...its the mommy and daddy.

Again, nobody with a clue from either Chaminade or St. Anthony's ever claims to be state champions in lacrosse. The CHSAA title is bragging rights enough.
And the whole "two team league" was put in place because other CHSAA schools wanted to brag about being champions of something, so they removed C and SA from the mix.
And Catholic league football is by far the strongest football played in New [lacrosse].
everyone will have to take your word for that. I guess you have researched strength of schedule, records, etc. for football in NY state. the "by far" evaluation is really convincing. that certainly settles it.
thanks
thanks
Yes they do absolutely Clueless or full of it... alumni and parents both actually claim that they are state champs ,or back to back state champs. be honest.

Well then they are clueless and likely didn't play lacrosse growing up.
No coaches/players/alums should ever refer to either Chaminade or St. A's as state champs of anything unless they're someday allowed into the real tournament.

Chaminade is 99 in NY and 4379 nationally. Maxprep has on line. Not real impressive.
99 may not be "real impressive" but where do these other teams fall on the Max preps list. The Jericho Team etc

I never claimed Chaminade had a good football team.
I was talking about CHSAA football (including the city schools), not Chaminade football. Though Chaminade did have a good run a few years ago.

Guys we should not be talking Football on the Chaminade site. the best LI football will be Floyd vs Longwood this weekend (sorry lindy the run will be over once you get to them). WI and Bellport you are in a different league for a reason. Pequa not a bad team just not the same, but that is why they play the games.
As far as LI football and St A's just look they lost to Delbarton who got smoked by a real Football School Bosco. who lost to other reall football schools. Sorry capital region your not that good either. Shen you have always been great at football with 3000 kids why wouldnt you be ever heard of Sachem in the 80's. Imagine if Sachem, the Hills, or the Smithtowns were one high school. please

lindy will beat long wood and upstate football is better than anything long island produces. and farmingdale beats whomever in suffolk conference
G.C. would wreck Chaminade in football and win most years in lacrosse. that's without drawing from all over the tri state area for students and athletes.

i knew that Daler nation would want their say sorry i left you off by accident. Lindy try getting by WM first
While I think GC has exceptional talent in athletics, I don't think they would wreck Chaminade in either football or lacrosse. A good game in both but I think Chaminade would beat them in football and GC would edge them in lax.
Chaminade will destroy GC in lacrosse this year

Facts = Truth....
2015 NYSSWA football rankings A- Division (Final)
3 NYCHSFL teams ranked in the top 30.
Stepinac (NYCHSFL) and Aquinas (Rochester) Tied for #1
7 LI public school teams were ranked in the top 30
2014 NYSSWA football rankings A- Division (Final)
3 NYCHSFL teams ranked in the top 30.
Stepinac & Iona (both NYCHSFL) were 2 & 4 in the rankings.
3 LI public school teams were ranked in the top 30
2013 NYSSWA football rankings A- Division (Final)
2 NYCHSFL teams ranked in the top 30. St. Ants. #3 & Chaminade #13
8 LI public school teams were ranked in the top 30
2012 NYSSWA football rankings A- Division (Final)
4 NYCHSFL teams ranked in the top 30.9 (3 in top 10)
Chaminade #5 in state won the NYCHSFL Title
8 LI public school teams were ranked in the top 30
Catholic HS Football is simply one of the most competitive leagues in the state.
competitive .... that's fine, its a good league. maybe one of the best. the mom or dad who declares the league as head and shoulders best league in the state etc. is just an embarrassment to the Chaminade community. its not needed .

I'm not a parent, but I do stand by my comment that Catholic league football is (in general) far stronger than any other football played on Long Island. That doesn't mean that Chaminade has a very good football team, nor does it mean that every single Catholic team would beat up on every single LI public school every year.
But St. Anthony's very often does have a very good team, as do a few other city / metro schools.
(None of these teams would compete with the big New Jersey Catholics, though. Even during a great year for St. Anthony's they'd still likely lose to Don Bosco, Bergen Catholic, etc.)

As much as it pains me Li is Lax country not football country... but athletes are athletes.
Football - No NY or NJ teams in the top 100 in the nations
Lacrosse - close to 50% of the list

Looks like Chaminade will be playing McDonogh (MIAA) this coming year. Pretty awesome.

kind of off topic aren't you guys? wasn't it about the football teams lack of success even with hold backs ? point is that holding back doesn't mean you are going to be better.

Approximately 92% of Long Island freshmen (class of 2020) should have a 2002 birthdate.

That is just not true!!! Freshman on LI should have 2002 birthdays!
On LI no freshman should be 16 not until nov 1. Unless they moved here after school started from another state region.
What are you talking about. 16 really?
He repeated the 8th grade. So what? The parents made a decision that they felt was best for their son. Mind your own business.
Sorry meant sophomore with 2001 birthday

You mean best for deceiving others to think he is a good player. Pathetic and sad that a parent would stoop to that level of cheating to make their kid seem better than they are. Sad part is that it catches up. My sons 20 year old college freshman roommate had a meltdown because he thought he was good and now realizes it was a lot of smoke and mirrors created by his parents. Terrible!! And worst part is parents can't step in and fix it now

I think it does impact some. Especially if a freshman playing a Freshman sports level should be or could be a Jr.
Hold back playing freshman, hmm curious no rules about that one. I don't care if he plays varsity but that's not the case here continuing to play down in HS.
Now I wonder is it fall 2000 or fall 2001. Being masqueraded as a 2020.
I don't believe the above post about the meltdown. Doesn't pass the smell test. Sounds like BS

It impacts many:
how about the 3 or 4 on age kids that thought there would be a fair tryout at QB back in August?
how about the on age defensive players in practice or real games that get shown up by a young man possibly 2 years older?
for the advantage of one many are taken advantage of.
The fact is this kid could compete at a high level in his appropriate age, but his parents took the easy way and it already has paid dividends for them.
despite what we tell our kids, cheating is the way to go for some people.

Did happen, kid came from one of the MD prep schools and was a star in HS, reality check in college playing with kids same age that are Jrs.
What school? Which Md prep? What D1 program? Story sounds like BS, there are TONS of athletes in every sport who were HS freaks and college duds.

If so, if a player is infact a 16yo freshman he is no doubt a double hold back.
Defined as: took an advantage over his on age peers, twice.
A late birthday (pre 1st) + a hold back (8th grade) = Double holdback took the advantage twice.
Now this can all be the $hit house rumor mill - but if it isnt, isnt there a rule in the catholic league against such a player playing Freshman ball of any sorts. Especially ones with contact.
A 13 year old boy does not expect to play against a 16 year old in Freshman sports. It does matter and is other peoples business. Had you said a player in this situation was on JV A or Varsity team Id say was another story.

You said, ". . . there are TONS of athletes in every sport who were HS freaks and college duds.", yet you think his story - which is just this scenario - sounds like BS??!

why does it sound like BS if there are many duds. I find it plausible. Perosnally i was the opposite. I was the 17 year college freshman that had to wait till my "man stregnth" happened when i was 18. So for some yes there is another spurt again, this age thing doesnt really even out till 19/20. (and for some it will never even out, there will always be someone faster bigger stronger smarter)
second one in same family to do this?

Well, I'll definitely pester Jack and Brother Tom about this.
No reason for Chaminade to be pulling this sort of holdback [lacrosse]. It's embarrassing.

Will you really pester them? Will you stomp you feet and and hold your breath too?
How about speaking the truth, putting a name on it, getting a petition and holding back support?
Really, what are you gonna do about it?
QB on Varsity also repeated 8th grade, I am sure his parents don't tell anyone that when they sit in the stands. The boy should be in college.
that is absolutely true. would not have hesitated to do a PG year as well, but got the nod from a top school absolute success story that shows hold backs, repeats works. the end justifies the means...Machiavelli
Let's see if he plays?

Why would I not have a conversation with them about it? I'm friends with Jack and some of his kids, and see Bro. Tom once or twice a year. This sh*t never happened when I was there, which really is not that long ago.
I'm a relatively active alum who does care about the school -- the holdback / repeat stuff upsets me. I don't have any kids there yet, so I didn't know it was happening.

Get a hobby or a Goomata, WAY too much time on your hands.......
To the guys who consider this cheating, etc.: wake up! It happens all the time in the lax world and more and more on Long Island. Georgetown has a freshman who was born in 1996. He repeated the 9th grade ( transferred from public to private) and then did a PG year. Kid started his freshman year at age 20. Worked out for him -- he rec'd an athletic scholarship to one of the best academic schools in the US. Cheating or smart?

Repeating 9th grade=cheating. PG year=smart.

Kid missed out on 2 years of earning 100K a year and having already put two years into his pension..Lol...worked out real well
Going to Georgetown, did a PG year at a 60k prep, willing to bet he doesn't need the 200k nor the pension.

Relax. This holdback thing is starting to bare the fruit I've always thought it would.
Current 2016 College Freshman at ACC school, not from LI, from parts south. Kid is from one of the two holdback hotbed areas, won't say which, as I don't want to out the kid on here.
Was ranked in the top 40 of incoming Freshman by both dopey Ty and IL.
Well, fall ball started and the Coaches were less than impressed. Kid didn't even make the team, cut in fall ball.
I've never understood these Coaches who believe that a kid who has played down his whole HS life, will suddenly thrive in an environment where he now has to play up and standout???
I imagine that this is happening all across D1 this fall. As the first super early holdback recruits hit the turf. I suspect many will never see the field and others will be gone in fall ball of sophomore year. Sure, some will do well and thrive.
However, overall, I predict we will start to see the tide turn on these holdbacks and double holdbacks. As whole, they will not pan out.
I further believe you will start to see more upsets and non-traditional teams in the top 20. Let's face it, if Molloy didn't get hurt, Brown would have won it all last year.
Let's keep watching and see if I'm right...
too bad for the kids who were forced by parents to accelerate the process. they were children and victimized by the insecurities of mommy and daddy to somehow impress with the early commit bragging b.s.
the parents responsible for making this commitment should be ashamed but will follow the same pattern of blaming coaches etc.

quite a leap to corral the whole concept of hold backs as a pending failure based on one player. I do not see this singular event being a cause for universities to pull back from recruiting from the growing masses of single and double hold backs. They are in it to win it as it were. we just have to hope that kids who are age on and are at the top of their game with their peers continue to do so at the next level. I for one am proud of my age appropriate son who fortunately has been able to contend with the hold backs in his class and secure a coveted spot at a great institution in spite of the crowd of super hold backs he competed against.
And who is his best friend? I would guess jumping around so much he doesn't have one, or a group of buddies, very sad.
I also think the issue will thin itself out a little, but not much; in reality why wouldn't the coaches continue this. As posted on other forums, what do they really need 4 of the (on avg) 10 commits to pan out. With maybe another 2/3 playing supporting roles. Leaving 4 not working out, happens.
(4x4) 16 great players and (4x2) 8 supporting players, 24 players on a college team and woo hoo that coach is a genius.
2 Goalie
4 Attack
6 middie
2 off mids/att
2 Dmids
2 LSM
2 fogo
4 poles
Sure as a figure failing 40% a year would seem high, but the flip side is if you avg .600 each year Id say you would be a top coach.
and these schools still recruit whether the top recruit at 8th grade or a surprise in 11th. They just need any 4 of the recruits to pan out. whether recruit 1 or 10 (in some cases 12)

Exactly. And when you recruit 16 or 17 kids a year like Tillman or Petro, your odds of fielding a good team increase significantly.

Well, you have several classes to make up for then.
Senior class and Sophomore class both have a holdback or 2.
We know the freshman.

No leap at all. Mine is an age appropriate commit as well. He had the opportunity at 16 yo to play up against many a 19 and 20 year old 2016 rising college freshman at the committed games this past summer. Did quite well against them. I understand my views are anecdotally based, however given the lack of a double blind study on early recruiting to refer to, I believe I'm on to something...

It will be interesting to see if trends do indeed develop.
In the mean time; it behooves all age on kids to work harder in order to get the attention they deserve among these holdbacks
This situation seems to be a hot button. I wonder how the young man and his family are dealing with all this attention. Is the boys success out weighing the negative attention. The boy must be conflicted. He is having success receiving trophys while people are calling him a cheater.
Sounds like sour grapes to me. Whaaa whaa. Let it go and hold back your kid or find a new sport cry babies. Football is loaded with kids who are overage because they fail grades multiple times, no crying there. But in lax it's the end of the world. Bunch of babies. I tell my son to buckle up his chin strap and play. You guys tell junior it's ok the other boy is a cheater.
Why was the issue avoided . The question was meant to provoke people to think
No Inteligent response
My question is , did Chaminade start at QB Junior year?

Worked out for him -- he rec'd an athletic scholarship to one of the best academic schools in the US. Cheating or smart?
Cheating
Relax. This holdback thing is starting to bare the fruit I've always thought it would.
Current 2016 College Freshman at ACC school, not from LI, from parts south. Kid is from one of the two holdback hotbed areas, won't say which, as I don't want to out the kid on here.
Was ranked in the top 40 of incoming Freshman by both dopey Ty and IL.
Well, fall ball started and the Coaches were less than impressed. Kid didn't even make the team, cut in fall ball.
I've never understood these Coaches who believe that a kid who has played down his whole HS life, will suddenly thrive in an environment where he now has to play up and standout???
I imagine that this is happening all across D1 this fall. As the first super early holdback recruits hit the turf. I suspect many will never see the field and others will be gone in fall ball of sophomore year. Sure, some will do well and thrive.
However, overall, I predict we will start to see the tide turn on these holdbacks and double holdbacks. As whole, they will not pan out.
I further believe you will start to see more upsets and non-traditional teams in the top 20. Let's face it, if Molloy didn't get hurt, Brown would have won it all last year.
Let's keep watching and see if I'm right...
Browns roster was filled with heldback Prep school kids, do your research before you spew nonsense. 26 kids on their roster were prep school or catholic school kids many of them from the mid atlantic. Care to guess how many were heldback, reclassed, or did a PG? And I wouldnt exactly call Brown a "non-traditional", always been a good program. Oh and by the way, look what two teams were in the National championship, two of the biggest early recruiters out there who both carry huge rosters. Nothing will change, there will be parity in the sport because the sport is expanding but people are still going to hold back their kids, colleges are still going to early recruit, and the same teams that are always in the top 10 will remain there. Get over it and concentrate on what your kid is doing and making sure hes doing everything he can to put himself in the best position possible.
Again the parents are sitting in the stands and a group of people are cheering the boy and the other half calling him a cheater. He receives the trophys and people are whispering behind his back. Is it worth it? A question not a judgement
In every other sport there are "hold backs" . Especially in the two money sports, football and basketball. These kids repeat grades multiple times due to failure. There are thousands of them. No belly aching. Why is lacrosse different? You play a sport of the wealthy and you get prep kids and parents who can afford to hold their child back. Again, lacrosse is the sport of the rich white kid. Don't think so? Look at all the powerhouses nationwide. Get past it folks or you're going to go nuts.
When you are 18 months older than most kids you are playing with you better light up. Like many on here, I just think this sends the wrong message and is contrary to the Chaminade values. Before every game they make an announcement that the game is designed to promote "sportsmanshopo and fair play." How is letting a holdback or double holdback run the team consistent with those ideals much less the "do the right thing at the right time, no matter who is watching" mantra of the school???
So are you going to blame or punish the kid because his parents made the decision to hold him back? Not sure tha would be consistent with Marianist values either.
The fact remains that many parents are making this decision. Indeed, many parents believe holding their child back has benefits other than athletic benefits (including social and academic benefits). Read Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell. Many people are holding their kids back. You better get used to it and stop whining about it.

Just because people are doing it doesn't make it right. The fact you reference the outliers means you know it is cheating. Cheating the system to gain an advantage. We all learned many people cheat the system (tax system) this political season. Using loopholes to your advantage.
But doesnt galdwell also say the benefit will only work when a few take advantage and it isnt the norm???
Why do you say people should get used to it, let them be a voice. So what if you dont like it and think it Whining, they are entitled to voice their opinion just as they are entitled to hold back.

yup
Using loopholes to your advantage isn't cheating. It's legal. If a taxpayer can carry forward losses in order to not pay taxes, then the taxpayer is legally taking advantage of the rules to his or her benefit. It would be crazy to do otherwise.
If a parent decides to holdback a child to take advantage of the academic, social and athletic benefits that comes with a holdback (or a PG year), it is simply taking advantage of rules (or financial wherewithal) to the benefit of the child.

its not funny here either.
Agreed and it sucks. Tighten up the rules and enforce them.

exactly, but the only way either loophole gets tighten is through awareness. Awareness of the impact these loopholes are creating.
Now i dont agree with holdbacks but they do seem to have a right a to do it - legally
Now I can see a problem arising because of the moral standard and how does a moral standard get overlooked by a catholic institution.
So the impact of these loop holes are what exactly? Based on studies the child is socially more prepared, academically more prepared and obviously athletically more prepared. So the impact is a kid who is......more prepared to succeed. Maybe these hold back parents are on to something.

Yea how to cheat and take advantage of others for an advantage. No thanks! I'd rather my kid have the character not to be a follower who looks for the easy way out. So sweet watching him school the holdbacks on the fields and classroom

Oh, it is the me me me mentality. Okay Impact on those that were cheated!
We see how it seems to be working out for the cheaters, and many times it does. oh and once you bend the rules in such an egregious manner once, whats next.
I think all the hold back should have a special colored arm band for everyone one to see. So when he smokes a kid all the parents and coach will know why.

It all goes back to the premise that the advantage is only there if a few use the loop hole. If this is the road to success, then you will start to see the masses following and the advantage is now lost. From what I can see, within another two years, you will see many more holdbacks and the advantage will not be as great. I was VERY surprised to hear about the families that reclassed their kids in LI this year. I suspect the number will grow larger with each passing year.

Or maybe an L on his forehead! Even though all the fair playing kids already see the glaring L, pathetic!
If a child is intelligent holding them back is actually a disservice. Some kids need to be challenged. I have a child with a 4th quarter birthday and after careful consideration determined that if I held him back he would be bored in class. As a late birthday myself I could not imaging being "held back" in the 80's. I have also seen many late birthday holdbacks mature earlier but also peak to early and get frustrated once they can no longer simply bully younger kids. Eventually they all hit the ceiling.

Each year for the last few maybe 5 years there has been less than a hand full of True holdbacks on LI (pre October dob). There was always those families that held back their 4th qtr kids. Football exposed many of these early on because FB had a Nov cut off.
I complained years ago about that because if you look to manyu of the top 10 students in a HS graduating class they were the "late bloomers many a 4th Qtr hold backs". Who does that hurt an on age kid who was ranked 8th and 5 above him were almost a year older. You know the whole AI does count class rank.
I doubt we will see any more of the true hold backs (pre October), or more than we always had, there will always be that handful. What i fear is now seeing a handful of double holdbacks.
but to say it doesnt hurt or who dooes it hurts, there are others impacted. Stop reading outliers. try reading "the five people you meet in heaven". if not, read about Newton's 3rd law, every action has an equal and sometimes negative reaction, one more... just because you dont see it doesnt mean it doesnt happen. A tree falls in the forest, still makes a sound even if your not there to hear it.

The broader meaning of the "Butterfly Effect" is not that we can readily measure these occurrences, but how we can't. To claim a butterfly's wings can cause a storm (Hurricane or tornado), raises the point; how can we reliably say what really causes anything, especially if its something as immeasurable as a butterfly?

before a smart Aleck responses, yes I know the difference between Affect and Effect. Think about it.
well said. its like the parents on the sidelines who affect some sort of expertise regarding coaching, referees and when the other kids on the team need to pass to little janey or johnny.

Nothing will change, there will be parity in the sport because the sport is expanding but people are still going to hold back their kids, colleges are still going to early recruit, and the same teams that are always in the top 10 will remain there. Get over it and concentrate on what your kid is doing and making sure hes doing everything he can to put himself in the best position possible.
Look- simply put, Hillary Clinton would love this idea...
1) Delay entrance for kindergarten (steal advantage #1)
2) then repeat 8th grade (reclass - Steal advantage #2)
3) enter High school 2 years older than other freshman and get accolades for athletic prowess(steal advantage #3)
4) commit to college freshman year get scholarship $$$ (steal advantage #4)
5) do a year of postgrad at some New England prep school earn popularity because you can legally buy alcahol for your minor teammates (steal advantage #5)
6) enter college as a 21 year old Frosh - compete against 18 year olds (steal advantage #6)
7) do a red shirt year (Steal advantage #7)
8) senior year 26 year old competes against 18 year old in NCAA games( Steal advantage #8)
9) graduate live life as an entrepreneur offering shooting clinics/lessons for kids at the Hub and stringing sticks at Lacrosse Unlimited
Kudos to those who achieve success the Hillary way.
Post grad/prep school is not cheating, - go to college with a year of additional maturity
reclass/hold back is cheating- compete against pre-pubescent 13 year olds as a more physically developed 15 year old in order to look better to coaches, knowing that what could amount to 2 years of physical development is a HUGE advantage over 13 year olds.

The fact remains that many parents are making this decision. Indeed, many parents believe holding their child back has benefits other than athletic benefits (including social and academic benefits). Read Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell. Many people are holding their kids back. You better get used to it and stop whining about it.

Many LI parents do heroin - should we all get used to that too?
I really enjoy the posers who get on these blogs and refer to The creators as if they had some spiritual connection. give it up .

Worked out for him -- he rec'd an athletic scholarship to one of the best academic schools in the US. Cheating or smart?
Cheating
Relax. This holdback thing is starting to bare the fruit I've always thought it would.
Current 2016 College Freshman at ACC school, not from LI, from parts south. Kid is from one of the two holdback hotbed areas, won't say which, as I don't want to out the kid on here.
Was ranked in the top 40 of incoming Freshman by both dopey Ty and IL.
Well, fall ball started and the Coaches were less than impressed. Kid didn't even make the team, cut in fall ball.
I've never understood these Coaches who believe that a kid who has played down his whole HS life, will suddenly thrive in an environment where he now has to play up and standout???
I imagine that this is happening all across D1 this fall. As the first super early holdback recruits hit the turf. I suspect many will never see the field and others will be gone in fall ball of sophomore year. Sure, some will do well and thrive.
However, overall, I predict we will start to see the tide turn on these holdbacks and double holdbacks. As whole, they will not pan out.
I further believe you will start to see more upsets and non-traditional teams in the top 20. Let's face it, if Molloy didn't get hurt, Brown would have won it all last year.
Let's keep watching and see if I'm right...
Browns roster was filled with heldback Prep school kids, do your research before you spew nonsense. 26 kids on their roster were prep school or catholic school kids many of them from the mid atlantic. Care to guess how many were heldback, reclassed, or did a PG? And I wouldnt exactly call Brown a "non-traditional", always been a good program. Oh and by the way, look what two teams were in the National championship, two of the biggest early recruiters out there who both carry huge rosters. Nothing will change, there will be parity in the sport because the sport is expanding but people are still going to hold back their kids, colleges are still going to early recruit, and the same teams that are always in the top 10 will remain there. Get over it and concentrate on what your kid is doing and making sure hes doing everything he can to put himself in the best position possible.
Look- simply put, Hillary Clinton would love this idea...
1) Delay entrance for kindergarten (steal advantage #1)
2) then repeat 8th grade (reclass - Steal advantage #2)
3) enter High school 2 years older than other freshman and get accolades for athletic prowess(steal advantage #3)
4) commit to college freshman year get scholarship $$$ (steal advantage #4)
5) do a year of postgrad at some New England prep school earn popularity because you can legally buy alcahol for your minor teammates (steal advantage #5)
6) enter college as a 21 year old Frosh - compete against 18 year olds (steal advantage #6)
7) do a red shirt year (Steal advantage #7)
8) senior year 26 year old competes against 18 year old in NCAA games( Steal advantage #8)
9) graduate live life as an entrepreneur offering shooting clinics/lessons for kids at the Hub and stringing sticks at Lacrosse Unlimited
Kudos to those who achieve success the Hillary way.
the cheating isnt only athletics but academics also.

You're kidding right? You post five names and act as though that is the norm? OKay, I'll bite, the Lax powerhouses in LI are Hempstead, Brentwood, Uniondale and Central Islip?
Sorry to burst your bubble with the truth, but here are your powerhouse teams, then tell me about the diversity of those schools:
Manhasset
Cold Spring Harbor
Garden City
Syosset
West Islip
Smithtown (both)
Sorry to burst your bubble spike, lacrosse is about as diverse as basketball.

reclass/hold back is cheating- compete against pre-pubescent 13 year olds as a more physically developed 15 year old in order to look better to coaches, knowing that what could amount to 2 years of physical development is a HUGE advantage over 13 year olds.

It is a huge advantage -- no doubt. However, college coaches do not seem to mind. That is simply a fact.

Possession of heroin is illegal and harmful to the user and others. Holding your kid back is not illegal and not harmful to the child or others. Lousy analogy.
Taking the air out of a football is cheating. There is a rule prohibiting that conduct.
Cutting up a baseball is cheating. There is a rule prohibiting that conduct.
Opting to hold your child back is not cheating. There is no rule prohibiting that conduct. It is a parental decision. Period.

Then why do they have cut-offs? Saying there is no penalty is not the same thing as it being cheating.

Holding back ican be harmful to the child and may also be harmful to others:
1. Hold backs steal spots from deserving on age kids.
2.Holding your kid puts pressure on them to be dominant. If they don't excel, they become the laughing stock, an embarrassment. Why would you put your kid in that position?
3. Holding your kid back instilled the message in your child that he's not good enough to compete fairly in life, and must always look for a way to cheat to stay on top.
4. You are viewed as a disgusting example of a parent by your peers who didn't hold their kid back for an advantage. And if you don't think we berate you when your back is turned, you need to be more observant. But you probably don't care because you yourself probably have a weak character.
5. Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should.
6. Anything your child does accomplish, will not be admired the way you think. He will always be referred to as the cheating holdback who was not good enough to compete against kids his own age.
1. Hold backs steal spots from deserving on age kids.
Really? Take a look at the previous pages of guys bragging about how their sons dominate "hold backs"
2.Holding your kid puts pressure on them to be dominant. If they don't excel, they become the laughing stock, an embarrassment. Why would you put your kid in that position?
Kids will become "laughing stocks" if they don't play well in lacrosse. You are obviously pulling the lever for Trump.
3. Holding your kid back instilled the message in your child that he's not good enough to compete fairly in life, and must always look for a way to cheat to stay on top.
I know multiple hold back kids. None have self esteem issues.
4. You are viewed as a disgusting example of a parent by your peers who didn't hold their kid back for an advantage. And if you don't think we berate you when your back is turned, you need to be more observant. But you probably don't care because you yourself probably have a weak character.
(A) Don't make parental decisions based on what the guy with the red cup is saying behind your back. Bad way to parent; (B) weak character because you want to do what is best for your child? That is truly warped.
5. Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should.
But you should if it is legal, doesn't harm anyone else and is in the best interest for your child.
6. Anything your child does accomplish, will not be admired the way you think. He will always be referred to as the cheating holdback who was not good enough to compete against kids his own age.
Just because a kid is held back does not mean he or she wasn't good enough to compete against same age kids. Not even close.

Did your kid lose a spot to a hold back? You sound like a bitter dude.
keep trying to justify, ifs funny people write there is nothing wrong with it , I been around a while holding a red cup, I guess that makes me a Trump deplorable . Not once has anybody walked up to me and said my kid is a hold back. Why because you are ashamed.

Actually my kid rolled over the holdbacks and has been dominating his position as a true age grad year player since Sophomore year. Doesn't change my opinion of the cheating weasels. Love seeing them throw tantrums when they get smoked. Loser!
You hold a red cup at youth lacrosse games, you talk behind parents' back and you mock children who don't perform well athletically. Good Lord, why would anyone talk to you at all much less talk to you about their parenting decisions?

Watching Hold backs that don't perform is hysterical! Misfits tried to game the system and still couldn't compete. Pathetic! Parents fault that they and their kid have no moral values. We are seeing this more and more as losers are grasping at anything to get their kid noticed. Love to see the real players prove this trend wrong, classic
I know five "hold back" kids. Three of them now attend Ivy league schools, one is going to Duke and the fifth kid is going to Maryland. I don't know any "hold back" kids who aren't excellent players. Just my experience..........

Are you saying that the same percentage of age appropriate kids go to top Div 1 schools as the percentage of holdbacks going to top Div 1 schools? No difference?

Who cares, you do what you have to do because you don't believe in your kid or maybe you are just a follower or maybe just desperate? I'll take the high road and keep my kid age appropriate, it will be sweet watching you cheaters get smoked! A year, or even two, will not be enough to make your kid look better than mine, loser

Who says your kid won't get bitched by the hold back? Pretty bold statement. I don't agree with the hold backs, but you're such an a hole I actually hope your kid gets his helmet turned around. Live and let live jealous petty jerk.

Not happening here, its your holdback that went home crying cause he's a failure. Remember, you put him there ! Cheating [lacrosse]
Why is this soap opera discussion of holdbacks playing out on the Chammy thread? Can we please come to our senses and get back to unfairly bashing the elitist Chammy blowhards? Let's stay on topic here!!!!!
I thought this was the LI public High School Football scoreboard thread. I'm waiting for the score alerts.

If you could read dope you would see I wrote I don't agree with it. Therefore don't have one. But you're a jealous [lacrosse], loser. You're on a lax site sobbing about fairness. Get a grip guy who never played. Whaa whaa it's not fair, you're a [lacrosse]. How bout them apples!

Me thinks the under tone is directed towards chaminade's latest practice of accepting high profile holdbacks. And how a good portion of the elitist (your words not mine) did the pre first hold back to give little Johnny the upper hand.

The early holdback (pre-1st grade or kindergarten) thing happens in public schools as well and has happened since at least the 90s, especially in our more well-to-do towns. Back when I played, Garden City's team always had a few kids who were basically a year older than everyone else, with some graduating at 19 or very close to it. They bought beer without any worries a year before everyone else could once we all got to college (I didn't realize that holdbacks were even a thing until I got to college). Though nothing beats the hockey guys, who always had at least one freshman that was 21-22 (anyone who played at an Ivy or NE school can vouch for me here).
All of that said, I'm still very disappointed that Chaminade appears to be involved in this holdback bullsh*t. The whole "repeating 8th grade" thing is definitely not something that we can all be proud of, and as such should really be looked at.
Anyone in this thread a current parent? Is it really this prevalent, or just the usual smack-talking of parents from other towns/schools?
The above post about GC hold backs is a LIE! never happened. But hey throw anything out there enough times and it becomes the truth. Tool
What do you mean "appears to be involved?" A kid takes the test, scores well and gets in. Jack Moran isn't conspiring to bring in holdbacks
In the current Freshman class at Chaminade there is one re-classified kid who is verbally committed to a D1 school. That is the only one that I know of.
How old is he

Yes, he should be in 10th, not 9th. He started school late as a little boy and would not make the 9/1 cut off date if tournaments and Pal had ever adopted and enforced that rule in his youth. Water under the bridge now, he won.
What team is he on? For club.
Yes it is a LIE about GC. Pretty easy to make up a story while remaining anonymous and not having to provide any facts at all. Put your name behind it, and provide the names of the hold backs. Then let's see. Otherwise I call you a LIAR and your story a LIE. Adios, Pinocchio.
I think you're all confusing two players. There's a holdback/reclass senior from GC that went to friends and there is a holdback/reclass freshman from From a different town that repeated 8th grade at LuHi. It's kind of creepy at the youth level. I can see doing a PG after high school but at the younger levels it just seems like sending the wrong message to the kid.
The original poster (liar) stated this occurred in the 90's. So I am not confused, but he is a LIAR!

What about those in the Soph class. How many 2000 birthdays there. And Im not talking december babies either. While we are at it how about the jr class.
And how are those grades, you really didnt need the help for grades or adjusting did you. The truth will set you free, actually it wont it will get just get you rediculed.

It was a lie, liar poster never responded to his lies, because he's a lying sack of you know what. But make up a lie like that liar and the lies will become truths. It's political campaigning at its best. Liars lie and he lied and now the little liar won't respond because he's a liar!
...and now the poor kid gets hurt. Feel bad for him, Dopey coaches go to the well one too many times and the young man pays the price. One kid cannot play every position on this or any team. Great job!
Teeeible move by the coaches and now it cost the player. It's not right.
Why did the situation cost the player
Of course coaches are going to go to a stud holdback. Parents fault all the way.
What happened ?
How bad is the boy hurt
Funny how when someone on BOTC is called out for lying they go silent!
Who is lying about what? You sound like a crazy person.
How bad was the boy hurt. I hope not serious
another win for lindy 19-13 8-0 baby
Go back and read, I'm not crazy, I just see and hear things you can't. Jealous?
It's time to take your meds.
Names are not allowed on here, for good reason, but I stand by this statement.
"Yes, he should be in 10th, not 9th. He started school late as a little boy and would not make the 9/1 cut off date if tournaments and Pal had ever adopted and enforced that rule in his youth. Water under the bridge now, he won." Lives in GC, attends Chaminade and plays for LIE.

There are two hold backs at Chaminade? One did 8th grade twice. He may of also had a late birthday. Right or wrong who knows ? The experiment might work well or be a disaster time will tell. How bad was the boy hurt?
U just described the boy in 12th grade. Why can't anyone get the facts straight? That current senior is going to Duke for lax. There is a current 9th grader (should be in 10th) from Carle Place who verbally committed to Maryland for lax.
Just trying to understand the landscape. No need to be rude. The boy from Carle Place does he also have a late birthday? Could he possibly be in 11th grade. No judgement. Curios to see how this works out.
I was referring to a 9th grade navy commit.
who got hurt? the supposed to be 10th grade frosh or the supposed to be in college senior?

Freshman QB got hurt.....nothing catastrophic, thank goodness. But agree the Freshman football coaches are morons.
I think everyone is making such a big deal singling out one kid by putting his town etc. The best player on JV is also supposed to be in 11th grade but that doesn't mean he is not a good player and that he wont show as well next year.

This whole string, and that's what you take the argument to be about? That a holdback won't live up to the hype and perform?? Talk about totally missing the point!
Do you think maybe the KID reads BOTC? Think he may know a bunch of adults are shaming him for a decision his parents made? think that's OK? Perhaps some of the parents on BOTC (who never strapped on a helmet BTW) need to put KIDS before themselves.

The kid reads it. The parents read it. They knew what they wanted to do regardless of fairness and/or other peoples opinions.

Welcome to the internet . . .
Why assume the child feels ashamed. People made decisions . Let's see the long term results. No free lunch . The topic hits a nerve.
Fair is subjective. What about the boy who lost his spot to him because of a maturity advantage.

BEST? Who is the best player? and if you think only one kid on the JV squad needs to be in 11th your kidding yourself.
WOW, whole bunch of cold hearted adults on BOTC. I'm sure if the vitriol was directed at your son, the outrage and anger would be palpable. But it's not your son, so don't worry about it. But remember, Karma is a b*tch. You and yours will get it back someday. More than likely, Junior will get smoked by a hold back in college. Probably Junior College based on the statements here. Good luck losers.

Missing the point - the "vitriol" - as you stated - is not towards the kid, and that has been overtly pointed out by many of the posters - it is towards the parents and others like them.
Along with the great things being a Chaminade parent entails... its part of the culture to deal with those jealous , not quite so gifted athletically or academically and who are - dare I say, poorly fit socially for Chaminade. Tolerance is a great virtue.
The kid reads it. The parents read it. They knew what they wanted to do regardless of fairness and/or other peoples opinions.
so be it.
That's cut and paste from previous post, so yeah I think you a** hats are throwing the "vitriol" at the kid. But keep trying to think you're not! Be proud!!
so be it.

So your answer is they do it because they can. I say it's a money grab.

Everything is a money grab if you don't see or have value in it. For some this is a good camp for other not so. To each their own. So many camps and clinics out there, some suck some are good. It's to the individual to determine what is right for them. So what is a money grab to you is a valuable experience to others. No need to trash it if you don't feel its worth it. Now if you gave specific examples as to why you don't like it, then I could respect that. I may agree or not agree but I would definitely respect it.

Didn't say I didn't like it, I believe it was a money grab to require 100% up front. It's October, Camp is in July. It's not refundable....

They're a tight-knit group this year with a lot of respect for each other on and off the field. That mutual respect is also evident among the Junior and Senior parents. Very positive dynamic. Hopefully that will all contribute toward a winning season.
is that a fact? so you mommies and daddies get along. who cares?
lets see how that goes when johnny is 2nd or 3rd attack line , or 2nd or 3rd goalie. lets see if the love in continues....

I think he's more comparing these classes to other classes at Chaminade, not necessarily to other public schools in the area.

Nobody cares how many kids are committed, or how well the parents get along. Can they win the big games??
Lindy who... Ward Melville
so you bravely go after previous classes (parents)? what is the purpose? i'll bet that coach will be sooooo impressed.
the new version of Chaminade mommies are the best . never talk behind each others back.
boo-by-Lindy Floyd getting closer to being back on top. i sense FL vs/ Floyd coming again in the near future...

Nobody's going after anyone, dude. Relax with the pot stirring. We all stick together (bravely), no matter what class the boys are in. Your smarmy and incorrect post doesn't make it any different. Go Flyers.

Sure - like the HS tournament in MD this summer where you supposedly only took the "committed kids" - meanwhile there were at least 8 uncommitted kids at the tournament. You took the kids you wanted to take, the kids who's parents are the [lacrosse] kissers. Same old crap at Chaminade - if you are an [lacrosse] kisser you are in. If not you are on the outside looking in. "we all stick together" - what a JOKE!!!

The Chaminade way...
yes this is true but please don't forget about the generous parents that fund/organize extra (supposed to be secret) lax for "select" freshman boys all winter before tryouts and inform the coaches who they selected to participate all based on their "sticking together friendships."
some of this is so ridiculous but I just keep reminding myself that I am happy with the education my sons are getting there and try to ignore these parents .

outstanding sets of parents . my husband and now my second son all lacrosse stars at Chaminade. we live very well because the job he got thru his strong bonds with other Chaminade men.
you cant compare the leg up you get.
I encourage other moms to not be shrinking violets...let the coaches know that you support the team or someone else will take the credit.

This happens in every grade. It only gets worse. The Chaminade lacrosse program is a joke. The coaches no nothing about any of the kids on the team - except the [lacrosse]-kissers. Please forget about getting any help from the coaches in the recruiting process - they do ABSOLUTELY nothing for you.
Go to Chaminade for the academics and religion - not lacrosse. Lacrosse there is not how good you are - it's who you know.
I know some will say that it's like that in real life but it shouldn't be happening in HS.
Pathetic...

yes the program is a joke! Who wants to be associated with a coach like Moran, who want to learn from Pomponio, why would you want to be in a joke of a program that has 23 seniors who will play lacrosse in college and as of now 8 juniors. Yes I say this lacrosse program is a joke stay away!!!!!

Coach Moran had zero to do with any of these kids being committed - ZERO. He knows so little about the kids on the team that he actually cut a kid last season that was committed to a D1 program. Talk about embarrassing...

I don't agree. moran does know his players. some of the commits are total jokes. there are kids who committed who have no business doing so. some college coaches accept the commit stuff as favor to an alumni, or just to get some dopey father off there back. the kid arrives and gets cut in fall.

Not this kid. After taking an embarrassing phone call from the D1 coach the kid was put back on the team. At the end of the year the kid was starting. After trying all of the [lacrosse]-kisser kids (who didn't deserve the look), he finally tried the kid who he cut. The kid played great. It is a testament to the kid - NOT MORAN...
sure thing dad..glad you cleared that up.

No - just giving you 1 example of Moran not knowing his players. There are many, many more.

Again, the Chaminade team that "sticks together" played in a tournament this past weekend. Except only the chosen were invited to play. There is a whole lacrosse world at Chaminade that if you are not a part of you never hear about. Lacrosse at Chaminade is a joke!

hurtful to a lot of people. problem is that they don't necessarily include the best players, merely those who are the inner circle , average players get the look because of social status among the parents. really nothing can be done about that. parents band together and you really can't break into the circle, its invite only and the coaches look the other way.
Did you burn your bridges in G.C. ? same thing goes on there.

1000% agree. Please, please, please, think twice if you are considering sending your kid to Chaminade and having him play lacrosse there. It is NOT what you think. You would think at a school with such a great reputation that politics wouldn't play a role. Politics at Chaminade is the worst I've ever seen. And the lacrosse coaches are the worst offenders!
So, GC plays politics, but win a whole bunch of lacrosse games every year. Does that even make sense?
playing time dictated by politics.
unless you can get into the in crowd. work it at the country clubs, summer home crowds etc. you can do this!!! moms... use that gossip!!
I believe it. I see the parents working it in 7th grade club. Laying the ground work for HS.
disgusting, but it needs to be done or you are out of the loop. moms...start the car pool now for exclusive trainers, club teams and make sure to do it secretly. you can always acquire new friends when you sit among the chosen. you wont regret it. my husband and I are glad we did so and we look forward to next fall and being among the best of the best!!~!
Yeah, I refuse to be that type of person. I guess my son will have to lose out.
Sounds like sour grapes. Wailing and carrying on. My boy doesn't play because of politics. Has nothing to do with ability. How do we know your son isn't the one who just isn't as good as YOU think?

I'm so much more disappointed in the coaches at Chaminade. The fact that they take part in this is sickening.
Do some of you actually believe this nonsense?

Good Lacrosse program that should be top 5 every year nationally. Yet they lose to public schools all the time. So much talent. It really is sad. Oh, by the way, academics are good, but they aren't creating any scholars over there. Kids were all smart before they went there. Kids make the school, school in no way make the kids.
When you've seen it, you believe it.
About chaminade taking some of the boys to a lax tournament this past weekend, can you tell me what grade this was? Obviously my son is not in the inner circle and will never be at this particular school. The heavy parental involvement with the coaches is so obvious and I agree it's awful the school doesn't insist on higher morals over this extreme politicking but besides a good education my sons are learning early how politics run in the real world, though they shouldn't be this way with the brothers who talk to the kids daily about doing the right thing all the time.
We will find out this spring, my son tells me they are stacked with top D1 players at every position.

Chaminade did not have a team in a tournament. A bunch of the students got together and entered as "Lead the Way" on their own. The goal of these young men was to raise money for The Lead the Way Fund in honor of the late SGT James (Jimmy) J. Regan, Chaminade High School Class of 1998. They had over 30 players and raised over $3000 for this incredible cause. The class of 2017 has done this over the last few years at Lake Placid and have raised over $20,000 in total. My suggestion is go to "The Lead the Way Fund" web page, learn about these great Americans who fight everyday for all of our freedom, and make a donation instead of discussing how bad this was. God bless America!

Let's be fair. Was the team that played this weekend not the same team that played at the NHSLS over the summer? Are you saying that no 2018s played? The chosen ones?
I think it's admirable that they have taken up the Jimmy Regan cause. I'm sure some of the non-[lacrosse] kissers kids' would have liked to be a part of that cause as part of that team as well...
Let's not hide behind a great cause. God Bless America!!!

There were players that were not at the NHSLS. Kids were asked to play and there was a limit as how many kids could play, the young men had a total of 32 players and yes non NHSLS were there.
I'm sure all the boys would have loved to have been part of that great cause. It's a shame if your child is not one of the "in" boys.
This favoritism with the coaches happens at every High School Sports program. The only sport in my opinion that it does not happen is Football. The best players will play for obvious reasons. For the other sports when two kids are of similar talent, if one kid plays at a club or with the coach outside of the school, they will be picked. I am a first year Chaminade parent and just experienced it with freshman Basketball. Some kids made the team because of their AAU team with the coaches. Good life experience for my son. He is a very good lacrosse player but is not with the express program. Will an express kid get the nod over a similar talented kid. Absolutely. The non express kid has to be much better in order to make the team or get playing time. It will surely be an interesting spring. We are at the school for academics first, the sports are secondary.

Very nice to raise money!
They got beat up in Lake Placid!!
Agreed your right to be proud of the boys supporting the cause. You are missing the point, you can be proud, be included and still if you are fair realize it is still wrong the "Extreme" parental involvement with the coaches and the school teams. I would think the school wouldn't want this reputation as catering the wealthier parents as opposed to a kid not from the Popular town where the parents are both working full time and cant and honestly don't want to kiss their [lacrosse] as part of the decision as to whether your kids included or not. God Bless America. Believe me I am just as patriotic as the next guy just because im not wearing the corduroys with the flags all over or not. Its important to raise nice children also.

Who coached the team?
It's sad actually. Youth sports have become so toxic. Especially lacrosse. I see parents and boys that are on the same team who are just out for themselves. Or their friend's kid. If your son isn't in with the "in" group, he will miss out. When I was growing up playing youth sports, this problem didn't exist. Because Dad's actually had to go to work. They couldn't make it their full-time job to drag their son to every practice and game and hang around and watch. Let alone stick their head up the coaches butt getting that extra edge. My parents hardly came to a game. It's the over involvement of the parents that has ruin youth sports today.
wow...incoherent much?

Football is not immune to this - at premier programs, politics plays a role. It happens in college programs at all divisions as well. As a prime example, the athlete that was highly recruited will get a very long leash when he under performs to coaches expectations.
I was referring to the post that concluded with the corduroy comment...that was incoherent
I love u people that say u are in it for academics first. Then by 10 Th grade u realize your kid will not see the field, you transfer out, lol
I see that in lacrosse. My son is good, but is not allowed to make mistakes without getting berated or losing playing time. He has a teammate who I admit is great, but is constantly making multiple mistakes. But I guess if you produce more, you get a longer rope.
Income inequality waa,waa,waa
Totally disagree with you. In Football the best play.

I played college ball and it happens. If it happens there, it will happen at elite programs below the college level where recruiting is involved. Your entitled to your own opinions, but not your own facts.

People with exception talent will get the longer rope in just about everything, not just lacrosse or sports in general
I also played college ball. Sorry to hear it happened at your program. I still disagree.

I have friends and acquaintances that played elsewhere and they echo the same experience in their programs. It's always the same story: a player who the coaches invested a lot of time and effort to recruit shows up, and Freshman into Sophomore year doesn't live up to what was expected - yet they give that player a much longer rope (playing time) than another player that wasn't recruited as heavily, but who, obvious to everyone else, can already produce more that the higher recruited kid. The assumption is consistently that they give the kid more rope since they have to justify the recruiting investment they made. Regardless, in these cases, the better player at that moment is not playing. (This happens in pro sports also with teams' highest salaried players.)
Kind of sounds like the pros....first round pick gets a lot of rope, not so much the 7th round pick. So to summarize, politics play a part in youth sports, HS sports, club sports, college sports, and the pros.
Yes, bu more so at the higher levels, and the discussion started with Chaminade football, so, yes it will/could happen there despite the original poster saying no.
So I have a 2023 son that plays Lax and is considered a top player. He does not play on Express. I also live in a town that has won a state title in Lax within the last few years, it also is a great school district. I stress academics to my kids, any advice on applying to Chaminade or staying put. Only reason why I mentioned I don't play on Express is because of the rumors if you don't paly there you wont play at Chaminade. I also had two cousins (twins) that went to Chaminade and they both went on to excellent colleges and it seemed to me that where they went to High School did play a roll. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated, I have time to make a decision...

It comes down to a few things. Most important question - Does your son want to go there ? It is an all-boys school. Then there is a commute, could be an hour or more depending where you live. Does your son want to do that everyday ?
I know boys who don't mind and boys who didn't like it and came back to public.
Chaminade does have a good academic reputation, but if you go to a good public and your kid is in honors/AP courses will it make much of a difference ? I would say there is advantage if you are looking at catholic colleges.
Finally, the lacrosse part. Your son may be a top player now, but a few years can make a huge difference. I know a few boys who were on Express top team in 6th grade, but were dropped off top team as freshman or sophomores. I'm sure that was tough for them, but it was devastating to their parents who thought they would always be top players.
Chaminade has 90 + boys try out for freshman team. I think they keep about half, and half of that group see the field.
So in two years ask yourself these questions :
Does my son really want to go there ?
Is he mentally mature enough as it takes a special kind of kid to handle longer day with commute, homework and more rigid structure ?
Would my son want to still be there if he doesn't make lax team ?
Does he really know how the commute/ time factors will affect him ?
If he does make the team, is he okay with being a role player or hardly seeing the field at all ?
What type of colleges is he looking at ?
Is he being looked at by HS varsity coach to be on varsity in 9th or 10th grade ?
Would he be okay with getting into a better academic college and not playing D1 lacrosse ?
Good luck, hope I was helpful.
Great points. good advice.
its role...not roll ...minor detail., but lets grammar shall we...?

^^^^ That is the definition of a reasoned, helpful response. Cue the negative Nancy's in 3, 2, 1, . . .
I agree . that is a very good response. its obviously from a mom or dad who experienced the process at Chaminade first hand and recently. please re-read it . its not malicious or judgmental. its factual. one more thing your shared experience with your son can be very painful if its all about lacrosse.
assume that this is directed at YOU....

All while my son has been lighting it up on varsity since freshman year for a great public school program, and I mean great athletically as well as academically. He will go to a top 20 school with enough AP credits to enter with sophomore standing. And he has the excitement and experience of 4 years of varsity. Is there really even a debate?
That's so not the norm. Congrats to your prodigy. If you were all that there would be no need to trash talk on a Chamnade thread.
Not trash talking, just stating facts. And my son is certainly not the only one. Go to WM,Syosset, SE,GC,etc, you will find many similar stories. If you are happy at Cham, that's great. Just suggesting many publics offer the kids a better overall experience. Oh,and there are girls!
Please keep Syosset out of this dog-fight. This is a Chammy thread. Let's focus on the quickly approaching season.

Oh yes, factual -- blah, blah, blah it takes a mature, special kid to handle it ... they have to travel, and I hear walk up hill to school both ways!!!! don't make me puke, its just another school overselling itself.
Chaminade is a great school. You may be a big fish in a small pond, but when you get there you see the level of competetion. Yeah you lit it up for CYO but now try to make the Chaminade basketball team! Same for soccer, baseball, etc. Football and lax are actually better in the sense that they take more kids. The problem with lax is 100 kids show up and 90% can play.....Say what you want, but you have to have skill to get on that team. Older sons have gone through this before.

I wrote what I know of some families experiences to respond to the parent asking. My son is in high school and plays for a top public school program. He never considered Chaminade and he wouldn't have the determination to do well there anyway, if he could get in. I was just relaying what I know has happened to other kids from my town and other programs that went that route. Some boys like it, some don't. It would be nice if there was more helpful advice and a lot less jealousy, bragging and general immature behavior from supposed adults.
Ignore the morons. It's a sad life they lead. Thanks for sharing.

If Lax is so tough, why do they keep losing to town teams that have a total of 300-400 boys in the entire HS? These town teams have 40 kids show up to tryouts to field a team from. They should be beating these teams by 10 with the second line. How come they routinely duck MIAA teams, year in and year out? Not bashing the team, just pointing out that the stories just don't match the results on the field.
Maybe those kids are burnt out by Junior/Senior year. Don't know.

Hasn't this been beaten to death? When Cham beats Pequa, WI or Manhasset every says "well, of course -- they should". When they lose to a team like Pequa -- a great program with tons of excellent players, Chaminade sucks. Enough already, if you can't admit that it is one of the top programs in America then you are really just delusional. Are there off years? Yes. Should they win more with the talent they have? Yes. But don't say "they keep losing to town teams" like they suck. Just ridiculous.
To the guy whose freshman is lighting up on varsity at a top public. What school. Because I'm callin BS on your whole story!!

Should never lose if so far superior. Games shouldn't even be close. The fact that they are, and many are lost is ridiculous. Again, if top program in America, why no MIAA? Why no Culver? Why no Inter-AC? Invite them in for game, they'll play you. Those guys all play one another. Parents should demand to play other top programs.

No school in New [lacrosse] plays a schedule with as much geographic diversity as the two CHSAA schools do (not the fault of the public schools, but this point stands). And neither Chaminade nor St. Anthony's have travel budgets anything like the middle-Atlantic prep schools do, so you can't really expect them to take real trips out of the area more than once or twice per season.
"Parents should demand to play other top programs." LOL.
(Fun fact: Chaminade will be playing McDonogh this coming year.)
Yes that is what the parents should demand of the school. And what school are district are you at where you are making demands chief?

there is an argument to be made for admissions. The same reason a school like ND struggles against Alabama in football. There are many more boys but they are not all athletes. Some are just students and maybe just maybe your school doesn't come close academically. We'll never know unless you post the name. Will you?
more Chaminade posts please? this blog absolutely carries this website.
very entertaining stuff.

I would bet they've improved a lot since leaving. They are the ones who didn't have their love of the game and creativity beaten out of them by that terribly restrictive system they play.
nah their moms organized the tailgates for the USA tryouts.

Uhmmm, nice try, but you have 31 NCAA players on Varsity??? I don't think the admissions policy is the issue.
How does the incoming class look this year
why don't you just go ahead and tell us about your son who is incoming mom?
we are all waiting anxiously

Becoming?!?!?!
Apologies, I stand corrected.
can we have that scouting report please? its vital information.
no one knows until march
No one can give insight on incoming class of freshmen?
someone has to have some color.
someone has to have some color.
Has Chaminade ever had a player other than Vin Sombrotto make the US lacrosse team?
Matty Ice and Mike Erherandt
Brendan Fowler
Matty Ice, Mike Erherandt, or Brendan Fowler have never made a US Team, they may be playing for the tryout part but team has not been selected. I don't see any other Chaminade guys who ever made a team.
The catholic schools overall have had good players of the past number of years but no real great players. Sombrotto is the only Chaminade grad to ever make a US roster and this year maybe Schriber from St. Anthonys has a shot but I can't think of any othe rcatholic school grads who ever has received that honor.

Are you insinuating that only those public school reprobates from LI have made this team? The nerve...
No just curious, I hear how strong the programs at Chaminade and St. Anthony's have been over the past number of years which the certainly are top programs without a doubt but they never seem to produce those great players like Manhasset, Farmingdale and Sewanhaka did years ago.

So the deciding factor on how we judge St A and Chammy players as being "great" is whether or not they make The US National team? Wow. Seems like all the armchair lax experts on this forum have set the bar pretty high.

I agree! A ton of talent is coming out of these schools regardless if they Make Team USA. Dylan Molloy, Matt Kavanagh, Tom Schrieber, Charlie Raffa, etc.
those are all outstanding players. absolutely no doubt at all. the really annoying thing is the assumption that just because you are on team especially at Chaminade, you too are a special player. most of the players are very average . notice how little the bench plays.
U know nothing about Chaminade, my kid is a top player in a very good public school he would not start at Chaminade, he plays club with kids that will not play much at Chaminade, some would start on our team, they are stacked with talent , heart is another question.

Chammy is hands down #1 team on LI. The JV team could beat most of top teams on LI. There is a reason they aren't invited to play in any BS public school championship

Yes, because they're not good enough. Asses handed to them by St As last year and beat by publics. Give a rest!!
garden city a public school nearby to Chaminade would beat them 9 out of 10 times.
get real. they could break the varsity into 2 teams and with the JV go 1,2,3 on LI. Garden City.......please...only the kids whose parents cant buy their way in play for GC
sorta like express to chaminade...but you pay thousands upon thousands to MC

Please, try to beat some publics this year. Maybe with 35 NCAA commits you can beat WI by more than 1 or 2, and maybe you won't lose to Yorktown this year? Oh and when will your team play MIAA, Inner Ac, Hill Academy or Culver?

there are only a handful of people who can make this true or not. Of course, I think I am one of them being on both sides. Varsity is one of the top schools in the nation (notice how i did not say top one of as many schools are), the JV program CANNOT BEAT many top teams. They may beat some but that depends on your definition of TOP. Maybe the bottom tier of the Playoffs but not the top 4/5 teams.

I really think it might be a 12-year-old pretending to be both public and Chaminade parents, arguing back and forth with himself.

Keep ducking the best competition, win against a public by 1 or 2, lose to other publics. Oh yeah, top team in the country alright. Games against any LI public shouldn't even be close, you have 35 NCAA recruits. You can boast all you want, but the results say otherwise. Now go talk to your tutor about understanding facts. Sorry.
Look, go beat some teams from the MIAA, Inner AC or Culver and I'll be the first to come on here and congratulate the team! Would like nothing more than to see mostly on age LI kids beat those other teams loaded with 20 year old seniors. The reality is, those types of results just haven't happened.

Mostly on age at chaminade is a stretch. I bunch of the top players are reclass or holdbacls
Get yourself a tutor. A "Tudor" is a style of home.

And they aren't a public school. That's the big reason they aren't invited to play in public school championships. They would have to win a few games first before getting there. The catholic school championship is already on schedule.

You're both responding to a public school parents who's trolling the thread.
U know nothing about Chaminade, my kid is a top player in a very good public school he would not start at Chaminade, he plays club with kids that will not play much at Chaminade, some would start on our team, they are stacked with talent , heart is another question.
seriously? who decided that your program or kid is a top player?
you can be a top player at a good school that's possible...
doesn't mean its a top lax school...

Hilarious. Tudor refers the House of Tudor, the monarchy that ruled the Kingdom of England in the late 1400s and 1500s. Think Henry VIII. The style of home is a reference to the Tudor monarchy. Nice try though.

Fast Times at Ridgemont High reference...well played. That guy was awesome...totally awesome.
Wow Battle of GC vs Chammy. If it was all about lax why is it that more of the "good" players don't stay at GC HS. Of the good ones that do stay at GC the question is how many of them took the entrance exam??
And because you are all about LAX Better question is in the past, lets just say 5 years how many GC HS kids participated in the D1 playoffs ? By participate I mean actually played in the game not stood on the sidelines or watched from the stands. I would bet if you just took how many Chammy kids participated from the final 4 teams the past 5 years they would double the GC number.
As for education how many GC kids that went away are back already or transferred to another school?
If you look at GC lax you will keep saying the same names over and over again. The few (3 or 4) that were the chosen. Chammy has too many to list
I think I gave you enough ammo to keep you going for a while

Another never played a TEAM sport guy speaks! The playoffs have nothing to do with it. You see GC kids know the SCHOOL maters first, not the program. Typical IDIOT, your kid must be a loser like you!
OK Mr played a sport guy and now thinks he knows everything. Lets look at where the kids who played lacrosse at GC ended up and compare to Chammy. Should be easy for the GC squad most ended up at same D3 school or won't pick up a stick ever again. EXCEPT FOR THE SAME 3 CHOSEN FEW
Chammi has been a wonderful pipeline for the NYPD and NYFD over the years. I guarantee if you scour the ranks you will find far more from Chaminade than from Garden City. Ditto for Corrections Department and High School ball coaches as well. Keep up the good work Chaminade.
This forum was about Chaminade lacrosse, yambag.
Typical elitist GC Assclown ripping Chaminade for having leaders of men go into the civil service, NYPD, FDNY.
Tell your Wife she can meet us all on St. Patrick's Day, on the Upper East Side, or Long Beach before she met you.

Chaminade make up bodes well for every occupation. Homegrown GC from Homegrown GC family would not even think about the FDNY or NYPD. Daddy can't hand it to him. Another situation where you have to earn it.
You can say the same thing about a certain type of facility and GC kids.
Lets see how many out of state trips the lax team takes next year.

Where are you getting your stats for Chaminade kids on the NYPD and FDNY? Either show me numbers or I call you a loser and your kid too.

Any thread or forum that degrades the men and women of the FDNY and NYPD isn't worth reading. Whether a Chqminade parent made this comment or some other idiot, Ask yourself where you were in the days and months after 9/11 when they were digging out bodies and going to funerals. Better yet, how willing are you to go into a burning building or patrol a housing project for the good of others. Your kids would be better off as members of those departments. They would definitely have superior leadership and direction than they are getting at home. Done with this crap.
I was there jerk, so as I am a member of one of those agencies for the past 26 years I'll say what I want! So do me a favor, kiss my [lacrosse]

I was there as well. Post was meant for earlier comment. Hit quote accidentally in my annoyance with where this thread has gone. Get back to lacrosse everyone.

It's a choice to be a fire fighter or in law enforcement. A well paying choice with lots of great benefits. Lots of bad apples in that group as well as good ones. When you CHOOSE this career if comes with risks as well as many great bonuses, good pay and pension. Just like the kids who commit to academies and get free tuition in exchange for service. It's a job. Now the volunteers who risk their life without any monetary bonus are another story.
My nephew is on FDNY, makes $140,000 a year works 3 days a week and rides his Mike do work, and can only fire himself. I will take that tomorrow.
I rest my case...aim high Flyers... 140k
Is it possible both schools/both lax programs produce good kids and players?
no its not possible only Chaminade produces good players. Didn't they tell you that...
Lots of bad apples amongst the PD and FD, LOTS? If there are lots of bad apples in those groups, stock brokers, bankers, and lawyers are 90% crooks. Maybe 99 %

Perfect, so you were referring to the cops! Every day in the paper I read about a lot of things, except I don't believe it. You, moron do. By the way, I know the type, how many DUI's do you have? Always the case.
I can tell you for a fact I know a lot of Chaminade grads, that are day trading to survive that would take a steady pay check.
A steady pay check, that began at under 25K a year. try supporting a family in Long Island on that, oh and that fat pension, I paid for it. Hey it's Christmas, but I'll be working, New Years Eve too, as a matter of fact worked NYE for the last 20 + years. My wife stays home and watches it on TV. You have no idea what the sacrifices these jobs are, but keep reading Newsday and The Daily News to get the truth!!

Even IF the hype was true, how many total does that represent of a force of ~34.4K? Do the math and then realize how rediculous your perception on this issue is!
The very idea that anyone would denigrate the people who are our Bravest and Finest is incomprehensible. And to do it on a Lax site is mind boggling.
Stick to Lax, and when your house is broken into in GC, or a GC cop pulls you over for DWI, tell him your thoughts--see how that goes.
Merry Christmas.

I think I have you figured out, 2-3 DUI arrests, plus God only knows how many times you took a pinch for smacking the old lady around? At least 3-4, plus I figure a couple of collars for possession of blow, and you definitely got nailed for propositioning an underage pros a few times. Therefore the anger at the cops. Keep it up winner, let me know how the market is doing, crooked blood sucking leech.
Rediculous?

Nobody forced you, in fact these jobs are sought after. You must take a test and pass to get in. Then there are politics. No doubt it is a dangerous profession. But it's choosen, with nice salary and benefits. You know what you're signing up for so don't complain. You are not the only one working holidays either, and you are being well compensated for that. Stop with the sacrifices. We all make them and you are no better than any other hard working parent.

Is true, a cop recently drove drunk the wrong way after being at a bar with OTHER cops, and killed people. Oh, and I don't drink, so no DWI's here.

Kids read the Newspaper too! Nothing being said here is not a fact, or on nightly news . Why are you so mad? Nothing untrue has been said. Jealous of the the job security benefits and pensions? For good reason, most don't get this. Everything in life comes with a trade offf. Stop pretending you are on a higher pedestal than any other hard working person. Do you think you are the only one who makes sacrifices?

Does Mike have a tramp stamp?
Mike sounds like a wonderful young man, after all he is willing to be ridden all the way to the firehouse three days a week! That's what I call a "keeper"
Merry Christmas to the FDNY and NYPD. Thank you for all that you do each and every day and night!!
Stay safe.
Stay safe.
Merry Christmas to all the Doctors, Nurses, Teachers, Lawyers, and Car Salesmen. Thank you for all the countless hours you put in to help people and provide for your families. It is truly appreciated!

WHAT ARE THEY BUILDING NEXT TO FOOTBALL FIELD AT CHAMINADE?

I guess West Islip-Chaminade series is over. WI has Penfield and Farmingdale as out of conference games. Replaced by McDonough. I understand for national rankings reasons, but thought they could work something out.
thanks , accidentally had my caps lock on. sorry.

what grade has the biggest exodus after the Christmas break Freshman or Sophomores
A friend of mine has a son in HS (Public). he said 3 of his sons friends are coming back to Public, is that true. Im a parent considering Chaminade I have a 2023.
if its your sons friends why would you come on here to ask that question? no way you are that simple

That first report card on Christmas Eve is a killer. Cham isn't for everyone.
Both the big two have "return" rates look into them. At 2023 just keep your eyes wide open. There is no right one wrong answer to which school you go to public or private. But the child has to want it more than the parent.
Big 2? who , may I ask is the other school in Chaminades class academically ? Also, maybe its not only report card as reason to leave. kids miss their friends (social life can be very challenging), others might prefer coed school. don't assume that the boy couldn't cut it in the classroom that's unfair.
exodus? really? before you use a word look it up. exodus is a mass exit. you think that Chaminade has a mass exodus?

My bad. I didn't mean to say grades were the only reason. All those you mentioned are bigger factors for most kids. I just meant that since chaminade first report card just came out prior to the break
Exodus is the 9th album from the master of Reggae Bob Marley & the Wailers. The album contains many of his greatest hits including: Jamming, Waiting in Vain, Three little Birds, One Love/People get Ready and the title track Exodus. Give it a listen, you'll love it!!

They say the first year and a half is the toughest. Any other opinions?
How will Chaminade fare against MCD this spring?
win by 12 goals minimum. may even play second line attack
over half the lax players from freshman team and same with sophmores on jv transferred out this semester is what I heard.
I heard the whole school walked out, they shuttered it, no more Chaminade.

That is some rock solid intel you are sharing with the world. Unfortunately if you knew anything about Chaminade you'd know that they operate on trimesters not semesters. Also there is no freshman lacrosee team yet since tryouts aren't until March. Other than that, you really seem to have your finger on the pulse of Chaminade.

You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out a team or who the players are. No one said anything about starters although one can try to pencil those in whether at private or public.
It does seem logical Freshman and sophomores would leave now and since it is a lax site noting if they are players is the point. Although next week may see a bigger impact

this topic is by far the most entertaining of them all. keep them coming!!!!
thin skinned mommies and daddies vs anonymous tough guys.
its so great!!

I have no stake in this at all, but if a kid is good enough as a Freshman or Sophomore then they should be aloud to play. I don't care what school they attend if they are better then the upper classmen then they should be on the team.
that's the only thin part ...

Why? So if a freshman is better than the 35th senior on the roster they should play varsity? Different players have different roles. They would be better off getting experience on JV. School and coach have very right to make decision based on what is best for the players, team and school.
I see both of your points. but.... how about cutting kids no matter if they are seniors or juniors? its not an entitlement .
is the guy who thinks he's a cowboy with the boots and the duster coat back this year? when we played them it was great watching him stalk the coaches

It is not entitlement. If you are number 52 on the 55 man roster, you probably will never see the field. Why not give that opportunity to an upper classman? Why have a fresh or soph ride the bench instead of playing on JV?
The freshman and sophs cant carry the jocks of the juniors and seniors. None...nada....end of story. Go back into your hole and crawl back out in the summer.
go get your Chaminade fleece dry cleaned.
the story is just the opposite. of course the juniors and seniors WHO PLAY will be better than younger studs, but please don't tell me that the kids who rarely get on field are superior players. they just aren't and guess what...they know this.

maybe we should have two varsity teams of 25-30 each?
Please don't use terms like "younger studs" it's so weird.
young studs...young studs...young studs...

Chaminade Boys wear pantyhose (Do-Da, Do-Da)....
Anybody who went to Catholic school on LI in the 1970s & 80s know that!
Ugh, young studs....creepy at best, perverted at worst. And Chaminade boys take bubble baths, not wear panty hose. Where the heck are you from?
half the articles in ESPN about young players refer to them as young studs. relax you self righteous tool.

c'mon daddy ...please go away. The juniors/seniors will knock the cr@ap out of the pre-pubescent frosh/sophs.
HAhaha pre-pubescent frosh/Sophs, some are just as old as Jr's
I am losing my eyesight but I read these comments about "young studs"
being "aloud" to play.Safe to say this is not a discussion among learned men.

Get a sense of humor you stick in the a** jerk!! If you can't tell some banter on this board you need to find a new hobby, like reading about young studs. What a loser. How's that happy face look in the morning? And I watch ESPN, don't read it.
Not a Chaminade parent but I saw them play over the summer at the National High School showcase in Maryland which they won by beating several of the top MIAA teams. Seems to me they will be one of the best teams in the country this coming season and I cant for the life of me understand all the hatred pointed towards this school and these kids.
The brothers still turn the other cheek to the locker room morning boxing club we had in the 80's? you want to talk about steel cage matches before school started... no place for the meek.

Correct. Different team.
maybe that was an alumni team?

It was comprised of a group of 2017 boys who had played lacrosse with each other over the course of their time at Chaminade.
The object of playing in Lake Placid was to raise money for the Rangers Lead the Way fund, and honor the memory of SGT James Regan, Jr (Chaminade '98) who was a standout lacrosse player at Chaminade and at Duke University. Jimmy was killed in action in 2007 while supporting Operation Iraqi Freedom. Jimmy's jersey number 19 is assigned by the coach to the Chaminade lacrosse players (on Varsity, JV, Freshman teams) who exemplify Regan's leadership and character. Members of this 2017 group have raised over $15,000 over the course of the past 20 months.

Correct. Different team.
I see. They all had Chaminade helmets and were playing in A bracket
So assumed they were the varsity team.

I am inclined to believe that you aren't questioning the validity of the "different team" statement. And that is refreshing on this thread.
Most high schoolers wear their school helmets when playing in club lacrosse games and tournaments, but I can understand where you were coming from when you saw a team with all red helmets.
It was simply a team of 2017 FRIENDS who had bonded with each other at Chaminade at some point throughout their respective Freshman / JV / Varsity seasons. They ended up raising some good $$ for LTWF.
are they on the lacrosse team? its unclear. were they players at some point and simply were able to buy their helmets after completing career on freshmen or JV ?
WHO CARES??? They raised money for a good cause, what's the point of this questioning? Come on, kids do something positive, rip them, kids screw up and do something wrong...rip them. Here's the answer, a bunch of kids, maybe from Chaminade, who maybe played there, maybe not raised money for a great cause. Satisfied?
only seniors get to keep their helmets

Raising money is all good stuff! Great to see kids doing things for a great cause. Think the point was someone saw team at tournament and said best in country. Someone else said saw at other tournament, and they are not!! Two different topics. And calm down!

No dog in this fight, and I don't like many Chammy parents. That being said, one has to think with the number of former Turtles and Extreme players on that squad, they really should be very strong this year.
haha...the Chaminade parents don't even like the Chaminade parents!!! who would?

They will be very talented. They still need to beat the top publics, which they struggled with last year! Coaching? Politics? Not sure , but results are results.

The two teams were not comprised of the exact same players. Yes, each team had Chaminade students. Some kids played on both teams, some did not. Think of a venn diagram.

The most important thing about wearing the Chammy helmet is that the college coaches watching know who the smart kids are

Its not a red helmet.........Its THE RED helmet to the Chammy players. It befits the high scholastic principles and spiritual wholesomeness that the school has. Those who haven't attended (public school serfs) cant understand. Top ranked school and athletic programs. All hail Chammy

I think it's pretty laughable that people impugn others' educations based upon simple typos on an anonymous lax board. I am not saying that there are not other blatant examples of poor English presented, but two transposed letters is indicative of a typo, not writing ability.

They were 2017 grad year Varsity players. But since they didn't do well, the Chaminade fans call them a group of friends.

It is untrue that they were all 2017 grad year Varsity players. But it is VERY true that they didn't do well.
more reason to let some seniors go and bring up the outstanding group of sophomores. especially on d and goal.

Are you serious? So the sophs are going to skip over the players going to duke in goal and on d?? If you said fogo, maybe you have a clue.

Yup, because why would you want to have a senior have a special moment that would live on with him forever when you could bring up an underclassmen to take the spot. Just remember that when your son is a senior and a sophomore takes his spot, it's all about the win, not the experience of playing a sport in HS.

Oh Yes for sure... You can keep the helmet only with the agreement that it is placed in a prominent place inside the home and that public schools serfs must bow to it when they see it. In some cases alumni have their girlfriends/wives also bow when preparing meals for the King of the house.

Not sure I see the bad part of that statement.
There is some truth to your statement as far as the schools being selective. However, I disagree with the statement that the school does not make the average student better.
I have three in SA. Two I would say were strong students before. The third was an average student, good enough to get in but not an AP-type. However, the school's atmosphere has helped her become a top student. Not sure that would have happened in a public.

There are no top students at St A, it is a school for average kids.

would that qualify as a "helmet job"
For this long weekend:
Here is the often talked about"Flyer Varsity Dream Team". It includes players selected from all 4 classes.
*Disclaimer: this is just an opinion. All suggestions could be wrong. This is a re-enforcement of the amount of talent; not a criticism of the players or classes not represented; nor a criticism of the historical ideology of upper class-men play and sophomores and freshmen need to wait their time. No, I do not have a relative selected.
So, here it is (Enjoy).
48 Players selected (Most are practice Squad)
18 Seniors
16 Juniors
13 Sophomores
1 Freshman
25 Division 1 Committed Players
9 ACC Commits
2 Big 10
2 Big east
5 Ivy
1 Maac
3 NEC
3 Patriot
1 SoCon
4 Div 3 Committed Players
19 Uncommitted Juniors & Sophomores
12 Attack
18 Middies
2 Fogos
12 Defense
4 Goalies
Starting team (5 Seniors, 5 Juniors, 1 Sophomore)
Attack= 2 Seniors and 1 Junior
Midfield= 1 Senior and 2 Juniors
Fogo= 1 Sophomore
Defense= 2 Seniors and 1 Junior
Goalie = Junior
Important---- This sophisticated selection system consists of a monkey, Rocky Road Ice Cream, the internet, a quarter, a deck of cards, 2 clementines, and 4 red dice. Really, it just is based on watching some of the kids play, so don't get crazy about it.

Special moment for a Senior? Seriously? Should all get a participation trophy too? It is high school - these are not little babies but young adults that have worked really hard for a long time. Time to grow up and recognize that not everyone gets a free pass. Hard work, talent, and knowledge of the game should determine who plays. Very surprised to hear a Cham parent saying that - I agreeit is not about winning it is about all the intangibles that go into winning....
what the [lacrosse] is this?

Agreed, sorry upper classmen if an underclassmen is better he should get the nod. In the end it is about winning... If the team wins 5 games this year the coaches, parents, alumni, school officials are not going to say don't worry it was still a good season, our Juniors and Seniors played.

I feel sorry for the senior who was a back up last year and expected big things, but up comes a big time ACC commit to sit you down again...
Name the schools, not just the conferences

Very surprised to hear a Cham parent saying that - I agreeit is not about winning it is about all the intangibles that go into winning....
Agreed, sorry upper classmen if an underclassmen is better he should get the nod. In the end it is about winning... If the team wins 5 games this year the coaches, parents, alumni, school officials are not going to say don't worry it was still a good season, our Juniors and Seniors played.
Sure they are because high school coaches don't get fired for losing. They get fired for being bad leaders. Anyone who feels a senior should be cut for a freshman or sophomore is crazy. For what....a winning season. Which in the end means what and to who? I can see you all now....we were the state champs! Thanks Al Bundy! Polk high school losers

Why would you train year round, work you [lacrosse] off, why to be a state champ, that is the end all, and a memory for a life time.

Noooooo......read a page back. To own the RED HELMET silly. Stop with the who plays where etc. You are obviously a Chammy newbie with high hopes for little Biff. Be happy wit your helmet and wear your sweatshirt with pride.

A catholic championship is not a real State Championship, sorry. There is absolutely no comparison. It's St. A vs Cham, both would get spanked by a public state champion every time.

Unless you go to Regis, then Chaminade would be easy...

Wasn't that 2014? I think 2013 was when Ward Melville went 22-0 (they were an unbelievable team that year, probably the best team of the last ~5 years on Long Island). Chaminade did not play Ward Melville that year.
In 2012 Chaminade did beat West Islip, who later went on to win out the rest of their year.
Yes your right Pequa state champs in soccer 2013, lax SC 2014.
4/4, 5/18
Thats all that matters,,,,,,,,,

"little Biff" at Chaminade? wth. Dude, you are mistaken. Chaminade is chock full of working class students from lesser school districts working hard to improve their lot. THAT is the majority, not "Biffs".
and you collected your socio economic data where?

Only the facts on BOTC......St A #9 in country. No other LI Team above them. Sorry that the facts make u look uninformed.
Generally speaking, from the towns which the students hail from. There are a lot more Levittowns /Seafords / East meadows out there than there are Locust Valley's and Cold Spring Harbors

So what? Who really cares. What a clown, dude who cares where the kids come from. Too bad you cant afford it, maybe if Bernie won you could send "Rocko" to Chaminade instead of Roosevelt, get over it.
Right, that's four public schools out of what 48 in nassau... check your tuition roll now of kids from all the other towns and you'll see you are speaking out of your azzz.
Chaminade parents are not insulted by the implication of wealth and privilege.
It's kind of what they are going for , so you are propping up a self important group of people.

Why would I send my son to public school when he can go to Chammy. Please.......we don't want him wearing baggy pants down by his arzzz,and a backwards hat with a wife beater t-shirt.
That's the point. The majority of the students and families at Chaminade are anything but elitists...

There is a difference between being wealthy and acting elitist - you obviously missed the poster's point! I live amongst this, and I see the difference between those that are wealthy but otherwise act like pretty much everyone else, versus the self-important asswipes who think they are better because of their wealth.

I always wondered about that. Since the Chammy alumni men are de-balled during their HS years how do the women sire the next generation.......Me thinks Divine intervention.

The original poster said Chaminade parents are self-important. Re read the post. What's he/she basing it on? Facts? Experience? Or typical to the site, is he just bashing people he doesn't know? Making an assumption of others? I'll assume he's a guy who works as a ditch digger, wears a sleeveless Metallica t-shirt he got in 1992, and a size 52 Wrangler jean. See I am assuming, am I right?

Too bad you need Chammy to help you with that.

Right, he can go to St. A's for that.

You said, "Why should ANYONE feel bad for being wealthy?", hence my answer. Are you saying that there aren't plenty of wealthy doucheb%gs that walk around with an air of self-importance due to their wealth? Are you saying that Chammy parents that are wealthy somehow have none that fall into this despicable category? Maybe, its a generalization, but please don't try to say that none of the Chammy parents are somehow immune from this group. Actually, forget the whole wealth aspect of it - people that act like self-important doucheb*gs, regardless of their reason for doing so, are still just that.

Exactly, and every community has them, not just Chaminade. So until I know where YOU live how do I know you're not some self absorbed jerkoff?

I'm a Chammy parent and I know a couple of jerkoff parents there. But only a couple. I like most of the parents I have met there. There are more non-jerkoff parents than jerkoffs. And who knows, some of them probably think I'm a jerkoff too...
Whole lotta jerking off going on at Chaminade apparently!
Wrong - I like an actual topography where I live, so I live on the north shore of Nassau County.
LOL you cannot make this stuff up.
Yes they can
I wonder if these boys have any idea there is so much hate coming from deranged, jealous adults...
Don't forget all American Muller and Lucavic, just to name a few...

They stopped practicing in the bubble already. You're way late with your breaking news. Obviously you didn't get the memo about the new venue. Guess you're not in the right circle either.

JV and Varsity candidates were having individual clinics not practices, they were open to all.
Practices are held three times a day: 5:00 AM, Noon and 6:00 PM. This does not include the training table breakfast lunch and dinner and the mandatory pharmaceutical visit for PED's. Weightlifting 4 nights a week and speed and agility three days a week. Massage therapy on Sundays after church and blessing by Pope. Get a grip folks! It's High School

Hello....New to BOTC. That seems like a lot of time practicing. Do the students attend school/classes and is this school more of a training center like IMG. Also....is the lacrosse team good and well regarded. Thanks
my wife is posing as a construction worker so she can pretend she is working on the new building next to lax field at Chammy. no more available parking spots to watch practice.

The poster to whom you're responding was joking (the Pope blessing didn't tip you off?). Once the season starts, they practice each day after school like everyone else on Long Island.

To answer your original question: No, Chaminade is nothing like IMG or Hill Academy. It's a very well-regarded all boys Catholic school on the Island.
While the lacrosse team is coming off its worst year in recent memory, it's still a very strong program, and expectations are very high for this coming season.

Just a little BOTC humor, don't take it too seriously.
Channenchuk lives on campus at Chaminade?
Didn't the headmaster at Chaminade get in trouble for sexually abusing students? And, didn't the school cover this up and send the guy to Rome?
I get that this school has had a great academic reputation, but is anyone else bothered by this? I know Cham sends kids to lots of great schools. I know that the Cham alumni connections are some of the best on LI or maybe anywhere in the Tri State. The head of the school got into trouble abusing kids. Our kids.
I am a Protestant and do not have any axe to grind here. I think that 90% of the schools on LI are average at best. Most kids that graduate public schools anywhere are not ready for a top notch academic university. Many public schools do not teach the liberal arts (English, History, For. Lang.) as well as private of some parochial schools. But, many Cham lacrosse kids have to PG at Hotchkiss or Deerfield in order to "get into" an Ivy or Duke and ND. What, ultimately, is the reason you guys send your kids to Chaminade?
I get why you would want to send your kid here because of the rules(discipline), school requirements and the reputation the Cham has as a builder of young men. What else?
I hope I did not kicked the proverbial hornet nest. I'll hang up and listen....

The first answer is, "It depends on the individual student and his family".

I know that the Cham alumni connections are some of the best on LI or maybe anywhere in the Tri State. The head of the school got into trouble abusing kids. Our kids.
I am a Protestant and do not have any axe to grind here. I think that 90% of the schools on LI are average at best. Most kids that graduate public schools anywhere are not ready for a top notch academic university. Many public schools do not teach the liberal arts (English, History, For. Lang.) as well as private of some parochial schools. But, many Cham lacrosse kids have to PG at Hotchkiss or Deerfield in order to "get into" an Ivy or Duke and ND. What, ultimately, is the reason you guys send your kids to Chaminade?
I get why you would want to send your kid here because of the rules(discipline), school requirements and the reputation the Cham has as a builder of young men. What else?
I hope I did not kicked the proverbial hornet nest. I'll hang up and listen....

lol. I guess it's a long, hard, painful, throbbing four years at this prestigious institution.
can anyone just talk lacrosse anymore?? there is a TON of high level HS Lacrosse on LI to look forward to right now... great match ups, some bragging rights... but this holy war Hate stuff is way too much...
What's everyone think about the Muslim ban?
what??? there's a muslin ban? why can't we wear lightweight cotton?
Just remember that the Crusades were just a Catholic jihad. And the Inquisition, let's not get started. I hope they teach the truth to them there Chaminade boys!
Get off your soap box racist jerk. Protestants burned women they thought were witches. Sorry Hilary lost, dry your eyes and go on the NNY Times website to spew your political b.s. Guy with the muslin joke, you sir are a funny man.

Daddy and Mommy want to make sure no monkey business is going on.
did you have a tailgate at the hub?
I would advise all parents of Chammmy lax , freshman, JV and varsity to attend the indoor practices. Its the best way for you to suck up to the coaches.
make sure you have a clothing item with your last name displayed. the coaches are very influenced by that look.

I'm not a Chaminade parent. I have a younger player who isn't old enough to drive and he happened to have a lax workout at the same facility. The Chammy players look damn good. How many college commits on the team this year?

27 seniors and at least 15 juniors are committed to play in college
weak , watered down numbers. not as impressive as it may have been a few years ago. this early commit thing has made far less impressive. look at some of the names...free option on kids for colleges
You're a hard man to impress...
My local town HS has 2 committed...

y the way. its not a formal practice . these workouts are sponsored by parents to prepare kids who are trying out for team.

Everyone is invited, and can show up. Last year there was a league and a parent helped split up the players based on availability and position to avoid too many players at the same game or position...
The Chaminade coaches could care less about this. They don't watch, or even know who shows up... My son played a winter sport last year, and missed almost everything, and had No barring on his playing time...
coaches are there.

That is even sadder than the "non-chaminade" parent who just happened to not be watching his kid. Gimme a break.
These are high school kids. Mommy and Daddy need to butt out.
If you said it was something organized by group of returning players, then I think it would be helpful for the team.

. . .and I bet it had no bearing either . . .
Coaches ARE in fact there. If a kid is not participating it had better be because of a very important reason. either for a winter sport or if under some sort of disciplinary penalty from school.
As hard as PT is to get here, even seniors need to show up.

I believe it doesnt have to be a Chaminade Parent. i have been to many clinics with both my son and daughter when they were younger and saw many a HS team play and I ve been impressed.
you must have been at an impressionable age
any freshman or sophs going to be brought up? not to brag but my soph would absolutely light it up on varsity.
I know , be patient, but not for the whole season. maybe a couple of games.

Let the stud make the JV team first and no
Your a loser .
Breaking news from last nights Chammy sports meeting.!!It is being reported that Chammy will combine the frosh/JV players and have them play varsity this year and have the current Juniors/Seniors play the Chammy frosh schedule. The reason being since all Jr's/Sr's are committed to top D1 schools no use in playing the varsity schedule. The frosh/Sophs who also are all committed to top D1 schools will get some experience this year playing varsity schedule. Next year Chammy will play a full MLL schedule which will include professional box and field seasons. NCAA has ruled that because Chammy is the top rated school in the country all players will keep their amateur status. Chammy red will be the official color for USA lacrosse.

D-bag alert!!!
really? did just a certain group of parents get invited to the meeting?
a lot of D2 and D3 schools are turning down opportunity to play Chaminade in scrimmages and exhibition games.

There are only 500 d 2 and d 3 schools to play and they turned down that opportunity to play a HS team that loses to a few public school team each season ?

It's a public school parent trying to stir up sh*t in the Chaminade thread, per usual.
Someone took the hook and swam!

Chaminade does have a pool.
It's just not on the roof.
So Chammy has a pool, the popes residence, Channy's residence and plays div 2 and 3 college teams. All that and has a hot looking team mom. Sorry publics...... you don't stand a chance.

Well, they certainly do have a pool. And maybe (I hope) some hot team moms.
I'd love to do a survey in 15-20 years of the current 3rd, 4th and 5th string Chammy and St Ants players who will go 4 years without playing in a meaningful varsity game. Would they do it all again or go somewhere else and perhaps be a leader and a contributor, rather than a bus seat filler? Hey youth parents, stop listening to the broken promises of the LIE spin-meisters. I think we all know how that survey would go.
Um, does education matter in that survey?

...my guess, by then, those kids will have greater leadership contributions to reflect on than, the "big" goal they had in section 4 divisional quarter finals... get help.

No. This survey is strictly about lacrosse. The eduction survey is on Baclk of the Book forum.
In 15-20 years, if the best you can do is HS lax, something went very badly in your life. In 15-20 years I hope they are thinking abut how great their careers are, the house they bought, the families they are raising. But hey, maybe it will be all about their lacrosse experience in High School .
does Chaminade have 34 seniors already on roster ? (saw that in maxpreps).
where does the junior class fit ?
what if they bring along the better sophmores?

Sophomores, better Sohpomores? Are there any Sophomores who should be brought up? Maybe some are on age,same age as the Jrs, but brought up, hhmmm!? If they didnt do it last year why would you think they would this year? and of they did, oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy.

Few pages back answered this.
The Jr/Sr class will be playing the D2 college schedule since varsity publics are too easy.
The Frosh/Sophs will be playing the D3 college schedule.
The frosh/sophs are so good that playing the publics is just a waste of time. And because they are so good Chammy doesn't want to hurt the feelings of the Jr/Sr class.
The Pope will be giving the teams the official papal blessing of the teams this Sat 2/18.
The teams will then proceed to the roof a have the once a year pool party.
Hey, will that team mom be there?

Best you can do? I think not. But you think there won't be regrets? And let's not make like St Anthony's is some bastion of academic excellence. One group has decided to be fine with 4th string for academics and the other for the shiny new facilities.
OMG, enough with the team mom it's getting uncomfortable .

Yeah that's the best I will do. Just because you still fantasize about all those touchdowns you scored in HS doesn't mean we all do Al Bundy. You must have a very shallow and unfulfilled life if you still have regrets about your High School lacrosse team. You still pining for the one that got away too? What school does your son go to? What "bastion of academics" is he at? You're a dude who really needs a hobby.

Any chance of formally changing the Subject Topic to - Chaminade Hater and Basher page?
BTW - Can't be an easy HS experience; aside from the obvious -No Girls, Jacket and Tie, 1 hr ave daily commute...
then, fighting every minute, of every practice, to earn a NO guarantee, opportunity to compete on game day...
Isn't it a wonder why College Coaches are interested in recruiting these kids??
wouldn't any team practice that way. do you think that the only motivated, hard working kids are attending Chaminade ? why?
No, the competition is not the same at every school. Think Valley Stream Central has practices similar to CHaminade?

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.
Says a mom of a third (or fourth) string Chaminade player.
Stating the non provable. Feel free posit whatever you need to feel superior to public school players/kids or to justify the lack of p.t.

While I agree with part 1 of your statement, I disagree with part 2. WM has some of the best players on LI.

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

That's generous. how many public schools do know will have over almost 20 D1 commits (including IVY ACC, etc) contend with?
average HS is < 1, powehouse HS programs rarely > 4 d1 commits

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.
While I agree with part 1 of your statement, I disagree with part 2. WM has some of the best players on LI.
Does WM and Chaminade play this year? if so... could be an interesting match up

That's generous. how many public schools do know will have over almost 20 D1 commits (including IVY ACC, etc) contend with?
average HS is < 1, powehouse HS programs rarely > 4 d1 commits
Commits are not a precursor to success on the field. If that were the case Chaminade would be unchallenged and undefeated on a yearly basis. That is not the case.
may have 20 D1 commits. but spread along 3 or 4 classes. they are not all on varsity. some are freshman or sophomores.
the jr and senior bench on the varsity would be cut if they brought up all the committed players from underclass.

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.)

then, fighting every minute, of every practice, to earn a NO guarantee, opportunity to compete on game day...
Isn't it a wonder why College Coaches are interested in recruiting these kids??
It's no wonder at all to me. College coaches love Chaminade players because they know THEY WON'T FAIL OUT ! Even a low average Chammy student gets a 30 + on his ACT'S.
Public school academics DON'T COME CLOSE.
So, keep up the good hating, Haters. See you at Nassau Community...... Ta Ta
Our public HS has 12 D1 commits ,

Wrong, seniors class of 2017 have 27 Commits with 17 being D1 commits. Juniors also are very high numbers with at least 7 D1 commits.

Considering how great Chammy supposedly is it's surprising that there are really only 4-5 kids going to top D1 programs. Give yourself and the kids a break. Let's remember the running time loss to SA to end the season last spring. When / if Chammy goes undefeated this year u have full bragging rights on BOTC. As of now Chammy's record is 0-0 - just like every other team.

Kids make the school, not the other way around! When Chaminade takes average students and turns them into scholars, then you've got something to brag about. Chaminade only takes scholars and then somehow takes credit for them being scholars. These are kids that would be AP kids in most High Schools. Again, the "school" did nothing except collect a bunch of select students under one roof. It's kind of like saying an AA travel team is better than a PAL team. Well of course it is. The PAL team has to take all comers. Get it now? Come on, even you 30 ACT guys can figure that out...

What's with the attacks?? No one said anything about feeling superior.
Is it possible to somehow acknowledge facts that more kids = more talent in case of private school, without feeling inferior??
There are pluses and minuses on both sides, for each family...
St Anthony's is the football powerhouse... big deal. Try it... it doesn't hurt, saying something nice about someone else.

Not sure what your definition of top program is... but Chaminade students define "top programs" as top prestigious universities

The non-C/StA schools maybe. They're the ones who pushed for this particular setup.
Channy is for fairy's. GC is for men.

Do you really think all of the GC touting commments are from Garden City residents? I'd be willing to be that the overwhelming majority are from forum trolls looking to stir the pot.

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.

I'm sure the top 10 HIgh Schools in LI have as many or likely more kids going to what you consider top prestigious universities than Chaminade. Probably because they have more diverse student bodies and don't rely on the Jesuit school pipeline.

Considering how great Chammy supposedly is it's surprising that there are really only 4-5 kids going to top D1 programs. Give yourself and the kids a break. Let's remember the running time loss to SA to end the season last spring. When / if Chammy goes undefeated this year u have full bragging rights on BOTC. As of now Chammy's record is 0-0 - just like every other team.
Not sure what your definition of top program is... but Chaminade students define "top programs" as top prestigious universities
I'm sure the top 10 HIgh Schools in LI have as many or likely more kids going to what you consider top prestigious universities than Chaminade. Probably because they have more diverse student bodies and don't rely on the Jesuit school pipeline.
Since facts matter......please defend your post and tell us the 10 schools. I'm waiting to hear your answer

I'm sure this was just getting back at the GC guy by bringing up the suspensions resulting from the GC team trip to PA last year.
Probably not a smack at the cham kids cause they have a Disney trip coming up and do retreats too.
That said, some cham kids can make it deep into senior year and then blow it up by doing something stupid also. Happens everywhere and at Cham every couple of years too. St ants a few years ago as well.

And you believe it was a GC parent, not some loser troll trying to get a reaction? C'mon

oh boy...dirty laundry. way to keep it amongst yourselves parents.
so much for the "we are very close group of parents" someone leaking stuff.
so much for the "we are very close group of parents" someone leaking stuff.
How about the same stupid things that teenagers are prone to do, is done at every school every year. What a bunch of pu$$ies you guys are. Never got into trouble in HS? All your time was taken up with band, AV club and Drama Club I'm sure. Most guys who play HS sports are a little on the wild side and get into a bit of trouble. But the typical finger pointing moron on here acting like they are out there robbing people. So many shocked adults, sure your lads are angels, or you're just too stupid to realize what they are doing.
...but these boys are vetted so carefully!!

Dangerous grounds here... no one's kids are perfect, but as adults (and moderators)
We should know better than to post potentially slanderous or incriminating remarks about adolescents.

Peter Paul and Mary were an underrated American folk trio who performed the classic "Puff the Magic Dragon". There song "Leaving on a jet plane" became a top 40 hit in 1969. Unfortunately, Peter Yarrow was arrested and convicted of an unsavory act with a young girl leading to the demise of the band.

What's amazing is that anyone who has even the smallest knowledge of Chaminade knows very specifically that it isn't Jesuit. Yet some ignorant loudmouth on this board will actually argue that "um yes it is". Outstanding. This shows the intelligence of the average poster on this board. Furthermore, it strengthens anyone's decision to send their son to a private school. Back to the high road. Feel free to return to ranking 5th grade teams in the winter or trying to get your 6th grader a "look".
Nice rant. No one really care if brothers are marinists or Jesuit on this site. Move on and talk about lacrosse.

It's clear you don't know what you're talking about here.
Wondering if the 11th grade parents know that there have been "captain practices" for the past couple of weekends that only the chosen few have been going to - about 15-20 kids. This is the kind of underhanded bs that goes on at Chaminade. And it is known and encouraged by the coaching staff. Chaminade is a joke...
Clearly a Marinist move !

Why is he an A$$ because he called the issue out and thought it was BS. It is BS and the other parents should Be pissed off. just because your kid maybe one of the kids who attended still does not make it the right thing. Must be a real close team with the crap they do..

I CALL BS!!!! My son is a senior and there is a group chat with over 50 kids on it. If your son chose not to attend that's on him, a lot of seniors and juniors have not shown, so the joke is on you. Give credit to the ones that chose to show up, yes some where on vacation and that's fine.
Do you understand what the "Captain practices" are ? Happens every year and yes coaches know about it and encourage it. BUT it is open to anyone that wants to attend that is on or trying out for the Varsity. It is a way for the players to get workouts in before practice officially starts. What you may or may not understand is they don't start practice like Public schools months before the season officially starts or hidden in gyms and when practice does start the have cuts to make so getting ready is a little tougher than most if not all. They don't have a full indoor field to practice on all winter. So getting the kids to organize and run the practices is a good thing and necessary to get ready for the season. If you ask any of the boys they all know about the practices but may be a little intimidated to attend because it is run by the players and tends to be a little tougher on the arms.

Because he is NOT an 11th grade parent, that's why he's an A-Hole, just another sh*t stirring non Chaminade parent.

And your an A$$ too, because it's obvious by your post that you are not a Cham parent either. Trolling loser. Mind your own school nonsense.
There are no "secret" practices. The Jesuits weren't invited. I am sorry your son was not admitted to Chaminade but please stop stirring up nonsense.
with Hofstra so close I would wonder why they wouldnt reach out to them to see if time and space was available.

Most schools, public and private, with a decent program have such "captain practices" or "open gym practices". It is the place to weed out the weakies. And is done with most sports.

Nice little paragraph. Now for the truth-only the facts on BOTC........"certain parents" arrange for the practices which include obtaining the Hub or the Hofstra bubble. Lets not confuse it that "the boys" are doing this on their own. If your not part of the email chain or group email you don't know the time/date/location.

Correct - there are 50 names in the chat now - after yesterday's meeting. There were not 50 names prior - just the chosen ones. Again - more Chaminade BS...

Time to let your son out of the nest. It's not the chosen ones, if your son wants to be involved he should just ask. The boys all talk and know each other, we are talking young men not 6 year olds. If your son is coming home complaining tell him to go figure it out, mommy and daddy can't fix everything, it's called life.

and for these schools to do this they most include/invite all who are interested that go to the HS. it must be posted for all to see. Whether they go is up to them but cant be turned away regardless of how good or bad. in some cases parents think since little johnnie is going he is on varsity, no, FYi the coach has to let all on grade kids who show up participate or else the section can come down on them. When we were in school no coaches were allowed and could do preseason on school property.
Wow...I'm a Chaminade parent (not alumn)... Not Until reading posts on this forum, did I realize how much animosity and hostility is out there by small, envious parents (not kids)...
Chaminade is tough school, and kids are challenged to grow in an extremely competitive environment... NOT for whinny entitled crybabies... NOTHING is given to ANY KID, and Everything is Earned... may not like it, but if you knew 1st hand, you'd Respect it...

How the fxck would you know that?? Weirdo!!
Wonder what kind of BS advice you floated to your kid... thankfully, he probably ignored it, as usual, went to wall, and practiced on his own to prep for tryouts.
Chaminade parent here. You are correct to a certain point. The club lax players certainly get better treatment than the ones who don't play for the chaminade head coaches club. It's a fact!!. Money talks especially at that school

"Open Gym" cannot restrict who attends. "Captains Practices" most certainly can.

for Publics? For Publics, if you are using the school facilities it doesnt make a difference. If you use school facilities you need adult supervision (coach) and whether open gym or Captian Practices all 9th-12th need to be invited. (for publics only)
Catholics not sure the rule. Cant see them excluding anyone intentionally. i can see students knowing and not goign becasue they think they need an invite with a bow.

It's clear. You R Not a Chaminade parent...
Spoken like a parent who's son plays for Express.
Is it true that only juniors and seniors can play varsity at Chaminade?
No freshman or sophomores?
No freshman or sophomores?
Where can I park to watch tryouts?
Jericho turnpike is a nightmare
Can we get some sort of sign to put on dashboard?
That would be greatr

What you may or may not understand is they don't start practice like Public schools months before the season officially starts or hidden in gyms and when practice does start the have cuts to make so getting ready is a little tougher than most if not all. They don't have a full indoor field to practice on all winter. So getting the kids to organize and run the practices is a good thing and necessary to get ready for the season. If you ask any of the boys they all know about the practices but may be a little intimidated to attend because it is run by the players and tends to be a little tougher on the arms.
Most schools, public and private, with a decent program have such "captain practices" or "open gym practices". It is the place to weed out the weakies. And is done with most sports.
and for these schools to do this they most include/invite all who are interested that go to the HS. it must be posted for all to see. Whether they go is up to them but cant be turned away regardless of how good or bad. in some cases parents think since little johnnie is going he is on varsity, no, FYi the coach has to let all on grade kids who show up participate or else the section can come down on them. When we were in school no coaches were allowed and could do preseason on school property.
A true captain's practice is not formally affiliated with a school or team. As long as no coaches are involved, boys can do whatever they want, just as they would any other non-school function and/or socialization. That means that they can involve whomever they want or exclude whomever they want. Some people may not like it, but if it's truly a captain's practice, it is what it is, and the school has no involvement and,therefore, no restrictions/requirements on same. Unless Chaminade has somehow forbid these types of activity, which sounds far reaching, so who knows today.

"Open Gym" cannot restrict who attends. "Captains Practices" most certainly can.
for Publics? For Publics, if you are using the school facilities it doesnt make a difference. If you use school facilities you need adult supervision (coach) and whether open gym or Captian Practices all 9th-12th need to be invited. (for publics only)
Catholics not sure the rule. Cant see them excluding anyone intentionally. i can see students knowing and not goign becasue they think they need an invite with a bow.
Not true. You've never seen a bunch of players on a school field without an adult? No matter where you go to school: a coach "hints" to team leaders to get together to have a Captain's Practice. No adults there. Using school fields. Not everyone is told or is asked to attend.

You must've gone to Chaminade. I forgot they don't spend a lot of time on reading comprehension, deductive reasoning or creative writing..think outside the box. Figure it out.

Not sure where you went, but it must be a school where they teach you to be a jerkoff, jealous of what others have...........D-Bag
I can assure I am not looking up at you in any sense of the word and I'm quite content with my educational experience and station in life.
interesting thread. Trying to define captains practice or kids playing on playground. Very weak

No, the brothers teach the boys how to jerk it, we know that's true.

Several juniors and a soph could contend for other starting spots.

Agreed, they are good, but St Anthony's might have the better crop of talent in those years.
A few young Friars already have JVA and Varsity experience. We also keep hearing about the fab fresh that arrived this year.
Should be great to watch both teams over the next few years.
Are there tailgates for freshman and Sophs?

Put the current coaches working with your son. The colleges know who to talk to at Chaminade, don't use a coaches name that does not work with your son yet
Sorry he's a freshman. Making freshman team possibly be bought up to JV if we want. I just was wondering f it's more impressive to colleges f you use varsity coach name n case they never heard of freshman or JV coach.

College coaches will have heard of Chaminade, and they'll understand that it's fairly unique when it comes to moving up underclassmen. If it asks for current coach, put down the current coach.
Ok thanks

Good to see you're not getting ahead of yourself. "Looks like he'll make the team--moves up to JV--d-1 money strays to accurate".
Either you have the best dry sense of humor on the board or you're in running for the biggest d-bag.....

You don't even know what you are saying. Your son is not going to be on JV. Unless you are a face off or goalie and they need you, you are not moving up. St. Anthony's does it. Chaminade does not. They don't need to. And if you don't know by now that D1 colleges know all the coaches at Chaminade, not just Jack Moran, you have a lot to learn. Your post is actually comical.
And you went hook , line and sinker ...you tool

Yale wrote a letter to Chaminade re Popp's and he's not the varsity coach. College coaches know all the Chaminade coaches not just Moran.

unless they bring up the 10th grade f/o and goalie, which is the strength of that JV team (and Varsity is pretty strong their too), I dont even think those freshman will be pulled up. Unless of course an injury comes into play on any level (not wishing that on anyone).
Clearly the kid has his mom's brains.
If you want?? I doubt that very much. What position?
Actually plays mostly attack and midfield
but is very good face off , wins most of the time .
Was top goalie up until 6th grade so he still has strong skills in the cage.
I'm going to watch practice and decide about JV then let the coaches know.
but is very good face off , wins most of the time .

real question is how many made the JV team?
I too am curious on the numbers of how many each level carry on Chaminade. I know years ago they used to report over 100 kids trying out. Chaminade and St. Anatomy's freshman teams used to boast as many kids on their Freshman teams as many HS Varisty teams. ??70?? Those numbers cut to ??50?? for JV and again up to 60+ for varsity???
The current Freshman team has 48 players. This includes 4 goalies.
how is the talent this year

Is that because of a new rule, dealing with age and dare I say Holdback. I say new because each year they have 2/3 holdbacks..
If KB, SJB or Doms got 1/4 of the quality kids that are sitting on the Chammy or St Anthonys benches I know some coaches that would be taking a few antacids before their games. It's time to change the transfer rules and have a competitive Catholic League.

What is the rule and how does changing the rule make anything competitive. The better players wont leave. As you say the " bench players " would be those changing.
If the better players would go from the start that would help. Remember that they used to say St Dom's had a shot don't snooze on KB. I'm still amazed why SJB doesn't have a quality team I keep hearing Chm and SA JV could beat them. How true would that be?
Love how GC will play St. Anthony's and Kellenberg but refuses to play Chaminade.
Anyone know how the Varsity did at their scrimmage against Smithton East?

I think 6-4 against Syossett and 3-3 against SE. Same old Chaminade. Terrible offense. Slow moving - everyone afraid to make a mistake. Takes 45 seconds to sub. The coaching is TERRIBLE. Awful lacrosse...
Because sophomores go back to Chaminade or St Anthonys thinking they will eventually crack the starting lineup. When they find out they never will, oops, even though you've never played a varsity game, they make you sit out a year if you want to transfer to another Catholic school. How many parents know that? We didn't. My son would have started at SJB and still been committed to the D-1 school he's attending.

what are you talking about?
Many of the 1st and 2nd string lacrosse parents know that there is a "sit out" rule when you attend Chaminade or St. Anthony's and want to transfer after your first year. I too, dont understand their rule if you didnt play Varisty why you still have to sit out. Do the catholics have a rule, if you played on varisty and you transfer in you have to play varsity.

The rule is in place to prevent recruiting. If you transfer within your district there is no sit out rule. It is a NYS Education Department rule, not a public or catholic school rule.For example a kid who lives in Syosset but played at St. Dom's in 2016. He then transfers to Syosset and can play in 2017 for Syosset. Or a St. Anthony's player who lives in Huntington Station can play at Walt Whitman without sitting out a season.

Yes! Right, Chaminade REFUSED to play GC. I know this as a fact.
Keep telling yourself that. Would be the biggest crowd for a game on LI. Chaminade would crush GC and then all the excuses would comeout.
Wish they would play so every Chaminade kid would get playing time.

Crush is an understatement. Pulverize is more like it.

St. Anthony's would beat both of you.
Ask the Chaminade coach, then see who is telling stories. I know for a fact, Flyers said no.
GC played STA on Saturday and held their own quite nicely....
Chaminade refused to play GC, fact!! They don't want to be exposed.

If one of the teams would get crushed why would it be the biggest game on LI. Personally, I think this years WM SE game has a bigger draw. Maybe Pequa Syo. and of course your Woodstick. Come to think about it Ill probably check out the Chammy Pequa this week game before i would have went to a GC Chammy game.
Not sure many outside of GC really care about that game. From the sounds of it (and I dont know anything but what is spewed here) sounds like it means nothing to Chammy so they passed on it. Like, yeah, no big deal thanks but no thanks. I am more sorry to see the WI Chammy games gone, outside of last year, those were some great games. Although WI lost the last few meetings, i think that game helped WI right the ship for their season. Not sure WI will get that from the northport or Daler games.

No, Chaminade did not want to play GC, that is a fact. The original poster knows it too, hence posting the other nonsense about GC not wanting to play Chammy. Nice try, can't alter facts.
GC doesn't want to play Chaminade because they dont want to do anything to draw attention to Chaminade or create a legitimate rivalry. Each year they lose several good players to Chaminade and the more they try to make Chaminade irrelevant the less likely (they think) kids will leave GC. The last thing they want is to lose to them, I can promise you, but it is really more about just not showcasing Chaminade in front of future players.
What nonsense, showcasing Chaminade, in case you didn't know every kid and parent in GC knows all about Chaminade. Hardly need a lacrosse game to showcase it. The reason Chaminade didn't want to play GC is because they have too much to lose. GC isn't even ranked, but the team is good. They beat Chaminade and it's a great year. Chaminade loses to GC and the year is ruined. Fact, Chaminade refused to play GC. Ask the coach!!!
Flyers vs WM who's winning ?
Why can't a sophomore (who has never played a varsity game) transfer to another Catholic school as a Junior without sitting out? It's a dumb rule.
Recent GC kids who left to go to Chaminade became impact players there and ended up recruited to Yale, Harvard, UPenn, Georgetown, Army, Duke, Briown, Fairfield, Villanova and others. If you don't think the GC coach would have preferred to have them on his team you are crazy.

He can as long as the school he is transferring to is in the boundaries of the school district in which he lives. For example, a kid who lives in South Huntington and goes to Chaminade can transfer to St. Anthony's without sitting out a year.

Then I'm crazy, know the coach, he doesn't care, play with the horses you have.

Academically you are not forced to repeat a grade if you transfer.....maybe the schools don't judge starting on the lacrosse team in 10th grade the same way you do

Then why does the coach reach out to certain kids and their families who are considering Chaminade and try to convince them to stay in GC? He does it every year.....

Nice story, unfortunately it's just that a story, what a pathetic person you are. Keep trying though loser, should pay more attention to what goes on behind closed doors at Chaminade than what goes on with lacrosse.

But he doesn't......but there are dark and disturbing things going on behind closed doors at Chaminade, let's discuss that for a bit, it deserves some light.
If you don't know about the in house meetings with kids to try and convince them to stay at GC your kid is not a player. Ask any GC parent who is thinking about having their kid take the test to get into a Catholic school and they will all tell you the same thing.
THEY TELL THEIR KIDS NOT TO SAY ANYTHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE THEY WILL HOLD IT AGAINST THEM AND NOT PLAY THEM
been there done that.
This year was even better. They told kids to stay because Chaminade was going to be added to their schedule. Just like all the other promises of being moved up, playing time, ALL B-LLS-IT

Take your BS and go to Chammy. We don't need your toxicity here. Be a cancer on that program instead.

Since you are not from GC, and therefore have no idea what you are talking about try this, LIAR, LIAR, PANTS ON FIRE. Keep making up stories pal, but can't make up the blatant pedophilia going on at your $9600 a year school can you? Dark $hit going on over there, watch your own!!
Who cares about GC. Lets talk about Chaminade 2017 Lacrosse!!!
Hey GC Boy: Looks like you could have used some more "horses" out there today against Syosset. Above posts also left off Notre Dame and there is a GC resident/Chaminade kid committed to the Irish as well. Assume GC coach wouldn't have wanted him out there today either! LMFAO
Syosset beat GC 9-4. I believe Chaminade beat Syosset in their scrimmage 6-4.

GC beat up Pequa in scrimmage, so I guess we are in for a beat down tomorrow.

Speaking of horses, and men dealing with boys, how are things in the Chaminade locker room, HAHAHAHAHAHA

Wrong. Don't care. Get over yourself.

Oh, I thought Scrimmages don't count?? Isn't that what we hear from Chammy Folks when Syo Parents say Syo beat Chammy in the early spring scrimmages in past years? Syo starters were out after the 1st 1/2 and were running a variety of offensive sets to get live experience. I'm sure Chammy was doing similar.
Scrimmages are scrimmages - the score is meaningless. Chammy did not beat Syo and Syo did not beat Chammy.
Good luck this weekend! great game for both schools.

Because this is a lacrosse forum, and it would make the Catholic League more competitive. But the two headed monster likes it just the way it is.

Huh ???? Do you really think the Lacrosse coaches have any comment on the administration of the rules for all the catholic school sports. You cant be that stupid.
Funny no one talking about game yesterday?
Inquiring minds want to know.

The transfer rule is a NYS Education Department rule. Chaminade and Moran can not change it

as stated earlier. You are an idiot.
Since no one else will say it - same old Chaminade on Saturday. 10-6 final. I think 6-5 at the end of 3rd qtr. Coaches say they ran out of gas in 4th qtr - amazing statement since they have 20 D1 commits and 7 high level D3 commits. Coaches can't find someone to step up. Slow, afraid to make a mistake lacrosse. They have all these D1 commits but no one does anything on the field. They are the worst coached team.
First game of season against a top program that has been practicing a lot longer, lose 10-6 and you are ripping the coaches already.
What coach said they ran out of gas ? Can't have 27 players on the field at once. Coaches can't shoot and score. Sometimes you just get beat by a better team. ANY GIVEN DAY

Why don't they look for a new coach.

Just because a team is loaded with D-1 commits doesn't make it a dominant TEAM. It's a collection of D-1 commits, many kids who are committed are selfish players, and I don't say this is in a bad sense, these boys have just been trained for lack of a better term to play selfish so that they are seen by college coaches. Hence the commitment.
The Chaminade coaching staff continually loses games that it should not lose given the talent they have. These are not selfish kids. The 2013 team -- which inexplicably lost two (three?) games -- is a perfect example. Tons of the kids from that team went on to be successful college players at excellent programs: Zenker, Dunne, and Fowler are all multi-year starters at Duke, Carrigan (3 year starter at Loyola), Lukacovic (starter/team captain at UVA), Pratt (captain at Yale), Muller (one of best defenders in country at Maryland), Cerrone (significant minutes at Duke), Tigh (starter at Yale), Mahon (starter at Harvard). The point is that these are not selfish players who performed well at Jake Reed and then mailed it in. Driven, talented kids. And, nevertheless, these coaches find ways to lose games. Very often by slowing up the offense when they should just let the players play.

Having seen 7 or 8 games the past few years, this seems like a fair and valid assessment. McDonough is a great program and it was the first game for Cham (excuses) but let's be honest - 6 goal production ain't gonna cut it against top teams. This offense makes watching women's softball seem exciting.

Three quarters of the kids you mentioned never did a thing in college and are irrelevant, one of them is probably your son.

Starting at a top 20 lax program is irrelevant? Graduating from a top school is irrelevant? Where did your son go to college? you sir are irrelevant.

That is real dumb thing to say. Where did you play grand master Rabil?
Sadly, like Dom at UVA the game has gotten away from Jack. It's passed him by. With all that talent at Cham this year, they should be scoring way more. Too conservative.

Rumor is the season is great Moran will retire. If not he will do one more year. He actually does very little coaching (just screams on the sideline). Who is going to replace him - Fay, Leghart, DeMeo? All buffoons...

Probably someone like Schwalje or someone from the outside. They won't move those guys up.

Leghart runs the defense, DeMeo runs the offense and Fay just brushes his bad 80s mullet. Leghart at least seems to care. DeMeo and Fay are egomaniacs who walk around like their [lacrosse] don't stink. Since DeMeo has gotten there the offense has been terrible. Everyone is afraid to make a mistake - I'm not sure how many years it takes to realize that the slow it down, methodical, take 45 seconds to sub - doesn't work - just awful to watch. With their talent it should be a fast paced offense - run and gun - that ball should be zipping around the field. They need some fresh blood like Manhasset got (Cromwell). It should be a clean sweep of the coaching staff...

Everyone is afraid to make a mistake - I'm not sure how many years it takes to realize that the slow it down, methodical, take 45 seconds to sub - doesn't work - just awful to watch. With their talent it should be a fast paced offense - run and gun - that ball should be zipping around the field. They need some fresh blood like Manhasset got (Cromwell). It should be a clean sweep of the coaching staff...
Every single parent who has had a boy go through the program in the last decade agrees that the offense is a joke, Every single one. Including the parents of "high profile" players.

Three quarters of the kids you mentioned never did a thing in college and are irrelevant, one of them is probably your son.
Starting at a top 20 lax program is irrelevant? Graduating from a top school is irrelevant? Where did your son go to college? you sir are irrelevant.
This is akin to the same guys who think if your son doesn't play on the one of the top 5 or so 'elite' travel programs, they should just hang it up. It's not worth arguing with these idiots - you'll never convince them differently, but in the end, they are still just idiots.

LMAO well said!
With 2 games under their belts, it appears that the talented Juniors are having their chance to play.
4 of the top 5 total point scorers are Juniors.
Junior goalie leads as well. Senior g commit still waiting.

Lets be honest - in first game the juniors crapped their pants. The attackmen never backed up the cage and went offsides 4 times. The midfileders were overmatched as well and the goalie didn't have a great day. Please relax on the top scorers stuff - you played a pansy yesterday. Clearly the leaders on the team are the seniors.
And they actually have 2 committed senior goalies...

Speak for yourself. My son likes all the coaches. Looks like a pretty good team also.
Why just single parents?
Right,
The juniors made no contributions against McDonough?
And 2 senior committed goalies with no stats this yr

Talk is that this is Morans swan song year. Leghart's been with him 23 years,an alum has the backing of the admin as well as the alumni. Players really love playing for him say very player friendly unlike Faye. As a parent of several players who played for Coach Moran and Leghart it would be a good fit. But then again what do I know
You know nothing

So true, St Anthony's is so darn soft. The non league schedule they play is also soft.
I think Cham lost around 6 games last year. Doesn't sound like the boring offense is working.
How'd the freshman do?

Ok, the guy above this post is a jerk
Observations from the Cham St Ants game today.....
The "boring" offense of the flyers was actually very up tempo and quick.
The speed of both teams was evident.
The juniors on on the flyers are impressive (goal scorers and goalie).
The youth (4 Sophs and especially the freshman)on St Anthony's squad will make them very good for several years. Kids are gonna be excellent.
Both teams like to play tough physical LI lacrosse.
That is all.
Thank me very much!

Five of the seven goal scorers were juniors
Agreed.
Chaminade looked dominant, despite some sloppy play at times.
I still feel their offense will continue to sharpen and gel as the season unfolds.

St. A's middies did nothing. Chaminade D did a great job on their attack. The big lefty will need to get some other skills besides trying to bull-rush everytime - that will not work at this level - but if he can develop a right hand he will be awesome. Played with no fear for being so young. St. As goalie didn't have his best day. 2 Chaminade junior attackman are good but clearly everything they do on offense starts with the senior attackman. He is really really good.
Finally - can you NOT hit at all in HS lacrosse anymore? There were hits both ways that were clean but were flagged...
Freshman, JV and now Varsity all beat St Anthony's handily this week. Go Flyers!
So young ??????? Double hold back is the story. He is big but when he got checked he stayed away for long time. Not surprised but this weekends game is the one everyone will talk about.
People will only talk about yesterdays game if St A would have won. Their excuse is they are young. How can a program like that not have a steady flow of seniors.

not so sure the st.ant frosh he is a double hold back... announcers said he was 14 and he turns 15 next month. although he is 6-1 205
by contrast I have a soph that is 15 now and does not turn 16 till aug-- which makes him on the younger side for his grade

Double hold back? If the kid is 15 he is on age.

Yeah, though there were only like two bogus calls that I saw, the refs allowed plenty. It would have been far worse had it been a college game -- even in D1, the flags get thrown anytime someone falls down.

The Freshman defenders were twice the size of the attack men from St. Anthony's and the flag was thrown everytime they had a big time check. Only one check that I saw warranted a penalty. They were penalized because they were bigger. This is HS Lax not PAL.

Lacrosse is no longer a contact sport. There is very little contact allowed at any level. Watch NCAA lacrosse, very few "Big hits", those days are long gone, never to return. Speed, speed and more speed is what lacrosse is becoming.
Chaminade senior attack is outstanding
This must have been written by the senior attackman. Kind of had an arrogant quote in Newsday after the game.

It's good to wrap fish in . . .
Good win by Cham today against Ward Melville. Cham coaches (once again) decided to take the air out of the ball too early. Let Melville creep back. This happens again and again.
Chaminade defense looked very good and aggressive at the right times, but their clearing all game was absolutely terrible. Both goalies looked really good.
Small attackman (#1) was a lot of fun to watch.
Small attackman (#1) was a lot of fun to watch.
It is about time the defense started going after people. They looked good but if they want to keep winning can someone give them a man-up play to run. Someone tell the coach it is ok to watch any college game and copy one of their plays if he can't come up with his own.

It comes down to POOR coaching. The man-up is atrocious. They are just wasting opportunities. But the defense is really good. The goalie I thought would be better - that defense gets on the hands of every shooter. You can't be letting in shots from 20 yards out...

Refs let both teams play... until Chaminade was up 5-1, then mysteriously every call went WM.
Wouldn't it've been great to hear News12 or Newsday ask Chaminade coaches why in the world, leading by 4 goals, in the 4th qtr, Against WM's zone Defense, decide to immediately settle for outside shots, instead of waiting until WM was forced back to man D?

St. A's left attackman is a ninth grader who turn 15 this month. Totally legit. End your lies.
Who cares. Kid is good, plus chaminade has a 16 year old freshman who qb on freshman team. Parents did same thing to older brother 4 years earlier
you probably don't have the ballz to say that to parents directly. you are a weasel mommy or daddy....

well, a weasel mommy really wouldn't have the ballz right?
actually being ballsy is not gender specific .
The football team has quite a few D1 commits for football. the freshman QB ids close to committing to top 5 football program....stay tuned.

Please dad!!!! Stop. The team plays in a very weak conference and plays nobody. But continue to live that fantasy. I will be waiting for the top 5 school QB commit announcement. I guess you can try buying that position but talent is what matters in football.

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.

...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.
nice to see 3 goalies get some meaningful playing time. there is no difference between 3rd string and first. play the senior!!

There is more than 1 senior goalie.
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.

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.

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...

Lighten up Francis!

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.
...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.
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.

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 .

The one thing all the D1 recruits bring to the field is confidence because they have been validated by college coaches. A mediocre high school coach that inherits a team full of them can look great.

Chaminade lost yesterday to St. Ignacious 11-10. It was probably the best High School lacrosse game I've seen in 5 years. Some really good stuff...

They also recruit from a 150 mile radius....
Great game is spot on! Glad I went. Great lacrosse was played. Only a few penalties....could have gone either way.

SI is coed catholic school 9-12 with a smaller enrollment than Chaminade. Betcha that 150 mile radius has fraction of youth lacrosse players within 20 miles of chaminade
A few facts and thoughts:
St. Ignatious is co ed and a bit smaller than Cham. Better athletes in Cali?
No.... the Flyer Junior Goalie is better.
Face facts, one player from SI put up a six spot... that's on the D- period. (not on the Goalie)
Cham seniors on O were basically shut down - Juniors did most of the scoring.
Faceoffs were great.
Crunch time, down by a goal, 1:29 left, coming out of a time out, Gotta score there.
made the season for the Cali boys.
Great game!

I do have to say i applaud the 16/17 Year old soph's for playing varsity thats where they belong.
To bad Chaminade will never allow that, play down much Flyers! but it is true, cant beat a team of holdbacks with just a few.
Chaminade lost to the better team. Is that what they teach the kids there, when you lose, start coming up with excuses. Sounds like a lack of character to me.

Maybe, but without any real 'competition', they can cam make a fairly compelling pitch to poach most of the best lacrosse players within that radius. Chaminade has competition for lax SAs both from other privates as well as many good publics, along with the strong complimentary club options.

Responses:
1 - Why does everyone defend him - because he is going to a top D1 school? Because he is the chosen one? He has been mediocre at best this season. If you think he had a good game the other day you don't know lacrosse. Too many stick side goals - and another 20 yarder. There were 5 BAD goals.
2 - Kid was the best HS player I've seen - shoots just as hard lefty as righty, uses his body really well, a complete player. But I guess the goalie is not responsible for his goals - doesn't have to make saves against him.
3 - Again, nothing on the offense happens without the senior attackman - everything goes thru him. Chaminade scored 4 goals in a row in the first quarter - he didn't have any. But who did they lock off? Him. On 90% of all HS teams (and probably college) the lefty attackman is in the top 3 in scoring. Because they are the finishers - they should score a lot. Easy on the junior stuff (2 midfielders are are really good - the other juniors should not be on the field).
Agreed - great game - but stop with all the nonsense...

Agreed Great game.
I'm not criticizing any player. I just think the Junior Goalie is better.
Please look at the box score for the flyers from the past 2 games.... St.I and Yorktown. It does not look like nonsense.
I'm saying the seniors are good but the juniors have put their stamp on this team as well.
I think St. I did a good job of taking the senior attack out of the game but that creates opportunity for others to step up.
Flyer D could have done a better job of taking the St. I goal scorer out of the game (don't you think?) Where else could some adjustments have been made?

Denver doesn't have any freshman from LV. You mean kid at UNC? He's Mormon and spent 2 years in south america on mission.
Keep trying to bring up ages of players if you must. Bottom line is there are good coaches now in all parts of the country to teach the game and tons of kids playing everywhere. It's OK to just tip your cap and say well done.

Reclass and age talks really only matter in 8th 9th & 10th grade. This is where puberty, size and maturity are exposes for an advantage (or disadvantage) and moms dads and coaches know it.
It is enough to push a kid to a commitment (or out of the sport entirely).
On the Varsity and College level it is a non factor- kids have mostly caught up.
keep telling yourself that.!
Went to see Yorktown vs Chaminade this past Saturday. Both teams played hard and competed right to the end. Although I was pulling for my Huskers, it was a great game.

Please tell me then , why do they Red Shirt kids?

Wow! What were your stats as a junior goalie play varsity back in the day?
Can't you team parents work this out? It is very embarrassing to squabble about the team on BOTC.
Just like Backup QB's - Every backup Goalie in lacrosse is the next best thing....it's a lonely position.
Yep imagine being the backup to the backup for your whole varsity career
The past few years you guys have always been ripping each other (the other grade) without cohesion.
As far as goalies, Last year in the big game JV A the two goalies split, no. So do you ha e 3 or 4 goalies?

The goalies should transfer to Kellenberg. Much better school and will have a ton of playing time.

Before you bash the kids - remember, BOTH senior backups are committed. Name another High School team where not 1 but 2 back-up goalies are committed? Both are really good. They have 3 top-level goalies - but only 1 can play. Which again leads to why HS lacrosse doesn't mean that much...
Senior 3rd string goalies father has been a complainer for years.

Before you tell people what to do - remember their are THREE senior backup goalies.
Watch it there partner those cowboy boots ain't just a dooshy affectation . Them pointy toes can hurt you
You have two senior goalies who are committed to play D1 lacrosse, but still have never gotten their chance on the Chaminade Varsity. As juniors they sat because there was a Notre Dame committed senior playing ahead of them. Now they are seniors and have to watch as a Duke committed junior plays instead. Whether it is right or wrong, fair or unfair, I totally understand why they would be disappointed.......Why don't we leave it at that and move on?

Lets not include the 2 committed Sophomores (one of which should be a Jr and re-classed because of the Current starter). How many Jr goalies are there? Didnt they use 2 goalies last year and is it true last year they split time. Not going to say you split time on varsity, just curious if they split time last year on JV. Did the goalies split time on JV last year?
Does the Sophomore re-class split time with the other committed sophomore goalie on Jv?

One of the sophomore goalies from last year transferred back to Massapequa. He is committed to Lehigh.

Lets not include the 2 committed Sophomores (one of which should be a Jr and re-classed because of the Current starter). How many Jr goalies are there? Didnt they use 2 goalies last year and is it true last year they split time. Not going to say you split time on varsity, just curious if they split time last year on JV. Did the goalies split time on JV last year?
Does the Sophomore re-class split time with the other committed sophomore goalie on Jv?
One of the sophomore goalies from last year transferred back to Massapequa. He is committed to Lehigh.
Observation: I hear alot about this one's commited, that one's commited. I've seen plenty of commited kids, both boys and girls, that just don't impress me. So that really doesn't hold water.
On the JV A team the coaches have made the effort to get all the goalies some playing time.
St. Anthony's used to be the same. But now there is is dozens pulled up. Some dot play much, philosophy is off imho.

This is a Chaminade not St Anthony's thread. Open a new thread for that of you want
Till then it about Chamimade. All players see time, you say, you were careful not to say in every game. Last year the goalies split even the most challenging games. This year or even last year on freshman did more than one goalie play against St. Anthony's. Last years JV A had committed goalies, well at least one was last year. And they still split time. Not sure 2019 Chaminade goalies ever split time against St. Anthony's.
With that logic and the 2019 goalie committed to Notre Dame will the 2019 goalie play over the Duke goalie or will they split time. (Probably not you don't split the on Varsity unless a blow out)
Hey blog police. It's a comparison to Chaminade. I'll comment as I wish.

Personally I don't think you can compare the schools now. Especially if one now pulls up a dozen kids. You can say one school varsity is better because they play the games... but you can't compare Chammy Fresh to SA fresh. Or you can't compare the sophomore classes. You used to be able to predict the future between the two but if you don't have a child on either team you won't be able to predict a thing.
When will Chammy start pulling up kids, next year just in time to drive 2018 crazy,. The first grade that should have been moved up
FYI Chaminade parents you are just another good team on LI, no ones is kissing the ring.

Isn't that why the kid re-classed in the first place?
So what are the chances for this Saturday's Reg's Rock match up? Saw GC v Manhasset this past week and Manhasset seemed to have some strong attackmen and one particularly strong midfielder (along with some other decent midfielders). But their defense seems undersized, more interested in waving their sticks than feet/body position, and reluctant to be physical. I think that will be an issue against Chaminade and our bigger attackmen. They seem to have only one defender who can deal with size and strength. The reverse is true with our defense on their attack: we will physically dominate the smaller Indians' attack. Any thoughts/comments?

What position do you play young man? Nice to see a player on here and not a parent. You are a player right? You said "we" so I can assume you're actually part of the team and not some parent who THINKS he is on the team. Any way good luck kid.
Manhattan , lax program is absolutely horrendous. they could use a cardboard cutout to play goal. D1 recruit ???? wow.

Wow, so nicely put- lax daddy who did nothing academically or athletically since high school in the 80's.
Wait, I'm selling you short - you led your sanitation department softball team in most beers chugged in a single inning.
Like it or not, the kid is a D1 collegiate athlete at a school that counts Rudy Giuliani and ray Kelly as alumni. It's about this kids future, not your past.

Now I think the Duke bound junior Goalie is better, but The Manhattan bound Goalie will do just fine there.
He'll be playing lacrosse for a few more years. good for him.
This board would be better served encouraging these kids to pursue their skill sets; seek out opportunities; and take advantage of those opportunities as they are presented to them.
What is wrong in the life of this miserable POS that he/she can't appreciate and celebrate a kid being selected to play at the next level?
Most chaminade kids are tools. Just like there parents.Most kids go there either because they are odd and awkward and have no friends in public school(Evan Hansen), you live in a town where there are minorities in the schools and you can't stomach the thought of sending your kids there, you are an elitist (generally applies to the attorneys) most of whom are really not that good.Or your kids are such gifted athletes you have to send them there to play the only other competitive catholic school on the island(St Anthony's)Yes your kids are drinking and smoking weed just like every other kid,the difference is they travel 50 miles to do it.

And the [lacrosse]hole comment of the week goes to this bitter little man, sure your wife looks good standing on the stoop watering the lawn in your white undershirt smoking a Marlboro. Good luck in life, please put a plastic bag over your head and end it so your kid has a smattering of a chance.

Most kids go there either because they are odd and awkward
(generalization & you forgot the coma after odd) (Either/or- probably could be 2 sentences)
and have no friends in public school(Evan Hansen),
(not sure about the hansen reference, also poor coma usage) (should be "odd, awkward, and have no
friends")
you live in a town where there are minorities in the schools and
(should be a new sentence. you switched from third person personal pronoun to second person- be
consistent!) (are we talking about me or the kids)
you can't stomach the thought of sending your kids there,
(again, poor pronoun usage does "there" refer to Chaminade or the town HS?)
you are an elitist (generally applies to the attorneys) most of whom are really not that good.
(You probably should have closed the parenthesis after good--- you are referring to attorneys and not
elitists)
Or your kids are such gifted athletes you have to send them there to play the only
(why?) (Finally,here is the "or", but now you've switched from second person pronoun to the kids of the
second person- very confused!)
other competitive catholic school on the island(St Anthony's)
(again, proper names must be capitalized - Catholic)
Yes your kids are drinking and smoking weed just like
(You forgot the coma - should be "Yes, your kids....)
every other kid,the difference is they travel 50 miles to do it.
(Period after "kid". new sentence) (.... and you are back to third person again?) (Also, "every other kid"
is poor word choice- should be "many other kids")
Fact check: Summit, NY is 50 miles west of St. Anthony's and Montauk is 50 Miles to the East.
Grade: D-minus (extra credit given for using letters instead of grunting)
In sum, you don't like Chaminade kids for several reasons.
HAHAHAHA, great work (but you spelled comma wrong) a true and fantastic post. Post of the week, to you sir!! Touche
Sorry about the comma.
As Dickie Dunn said in Slapshot "I tried to capture the spirit of the thing".

Thanks Syosset dad, Dear Macy*s please bring Syosset players pants they have a bad habit of walking home in their silk panties.
Enough with Syosset. Take them out of the conversation. They blow. They lost to a "C" school.

Result really wont matter to either team. I am predicting a 5+ spread this and next year. Thought they had a chance early but Chaminade is just to strong. Now rounding the final corner and into the home stretch those '18's are proving themselves to be a force.

Why, I was simply noting the season is in full swing and those 18's are no longer varsity rookies. They now have some quality time on varsity. They will be around one more year. Pequa relies heavily on Sophomores in many key spots and they will be around next year too, but next year I think Chaminade gets even stronger.

No dog in the fight but "C" school doesn't mean less talent on the team, just a smaller pool of athletes to pull from. Many A, B, and Private schools would lose to that same team.

...CSH wins with 3 Standout Players, Imagine CSH Coach with Chaminade's Roster??
Coaching is such an underrated competitive factor in HS Lax.
Is it true that most CSH, and Chaminade's moms, are on xanax.

Fact!
We'll never know, soft schedule - fact.
A lot of misinformation on here:
It is NOT true most CSH Moms are on Zanax (what a weird thing to say).
We do not know factually who would win, CSH or Chaminade but it would be a great game--I think this year CSH would win but most years my money would be on Chaminade.
Not sure in what universe a schedule that includes Syosset, RVC, Smithtown West, New Caaanan, John Jay and Greewich would be considered soft. Disappointing that CSH vs. Manhasset rivalry was interrupted this year. Haters gonna hate. Great win Manhasset over that large all boys Catholic school in Nassau/Queens. Nice GC win over SWR and though virtually unreported or mentioned anywhere nice win by CSH over Greenwich 13-6 (though game did not seem that close). I thought best player on the field was Greenwich defensemen-he was sick. Csh JV dismanted Greenwich Jv 13-2 as well. Some great games Saturday. ST. A's, would have like to see you guys win that one. Enough Port bashing, they are clearly in the upper half of Conference 1 but not in the class of Syo and Pequa quite yet and still behind Farmingdale. The rest of Conference 1 has nothing to do--been the same story since the 80's. Will consolidate routing interests beginning next week to each of the Section 8 representatives in the State tournament. which I predict will be Massapequa, Manhasset and CSH. The latter two get off of Long Island and the last brings it all home. Suffolk A two horse race- SE and WM (but wouldn't want to play HHHE, tough out). routing for SE--WM too pompous. Not sure B's, C's SWR. Enjoy. oh yeah, In the Catholics history repeats itself and St. A's wins game 3 AGAIN.

CSH JV may have "dismantled" Greenwich, but they also lost to the Chaminade freshman team.....so calm down with that.

I couldn't agree more. Chaminade coaching terrible again on Saturday. No adjustments, terrible personnel decisions at the end of the game - just awful from start to finish. Great to see the coaches screaming and cursing at each other on the sidelines though...

Guy put out a nice informative post and you have to be a deucheb@g! Typical Chaminade parent. Go get your blue blazer pressed jerk off. Now you know why everyone blasts your pedophile academy.
While Chaminade does get a fair share of very good players it does not mean that just because you are on the team that you are a great player. plenty of very average players on the teams.

You would hope. Every top freshman and sophomore at Set is on Varsity. Your team probably beat a number of 8th graders. Nice job!
I would bet more than you think. And i would bet that more Chaminade kids are on xanax than you think. Sign of the times. Striving to be something your not, can be very stressful to some.

CSH JV may have "dismantled" Greenwich, but they also lost to the Chaminade freshman team.....so calm down with that.
Guy put out a nice informative post and you have to be a deucheb@g! Typical Chaminade parent. Go get your blue blazer pressed jerk off. Now you know why everyone blasts your pedophile academy.
You have issues!!!
And you have a pedophile problem at your $9500 a year school
This is a lacrosse website. Go spread your anti-Catholic hate elsewhere!!!
The CSH jv that the Chaminade freshman team beat 10-7 did not pull any of their freshmen up to varsity. Chaminade was up the whole game.
True story. Chaminade f/o guy was dominant and scored like 5 goals. Nor did Chaminade have any of their Freshman on Varsity. It was basically frosh vs. frosh. There is only 1 Soph on the CSH JV that gets any significant time, a goalie who plays half the game--its not like their JV is stacked with upperclassman, those that are there ride the bench. So missing your point or you are just misinfomred/made poor assumptions.

How true. Funny how the facts seem to bring out the crickets.
East Islip High School Beat SWR Hills West yet no love until they beat CSH or Manhasset in LIC
Still, CSH has a strong 2020 class. Not to mention the f/o man on chaminade got lots of help from the LSM, who got 4 or 5 gbs off of the wing, chammy totally dominated ground balls

Wasn't the Championship, that's next week.
Was a great game though. Thank you for hosting today's game. Championship game should prove to be another great game on Weds at St. Anthony's.
Both teams have very talented well coached players.

Funny, if they were in your league/conference you wouldnt want to play either of the 2 big boys. Ill take that even further and their JV teams would be ranked amoung the best on LI and probably in the playoff in any of the leagues on Long island so gloat while you can but How many came players really came out of Manhassett CSH Wm and Se to go to Catholics anyway.

That's a laughable statement!!
The Chaminade Freshman coaches were terrible. One or two of them know nothing about lacrosse yet scream and yell about things they don't know. The substitutions were terrible. Up 14-2 and still running the first lines. The coaches picked favorites and those kids could do no wrong
yeah Chammy freshman would be a playoff team too.
Great to see Long Island well represented, but how does not even playing a top ten tri-state team = national 6?

They could have and should have gotten more kids on the field.....you are right about that. At the same time, starters were best players, not just favorites.
Starters were the best players. Big drop off after that, but %100 should have put subs in. Don't understand what they are trying to prove. Why take 40 kids if you're only going to play 17?
so that the deluded parents can go around saying that since the kid is on Chaminade that they are superior players. only the best from every town can play at Chaminade. All would be stars at their public schools.
My son who is a senior plays club with a lot of Chaminade kids that are very good.but not seeing the field. Maybe it's time to play the seniors.

Because some of those other kids will eventually become starters and some of the current reshman starters will not get much better and will be surpassed. A larger team keeps everyone involved with a chance to improve and move up.
I agree that the starters on the frosh team were the best and there was no favoritism. It was noticeable when you saw all the kids play in some of the games.
Your kidding yourself. The best plates who start are the same players who are n he top clubs. You can hope that Johnny will surpass the starters and keep on buying post game snacks for 4 years. Not gong t happen. It never does.
What is going on with Chaminade varsity? Clearly they have plenty of talent. Watched a little of the Delbarton game. What kind of offense are they running? Are the right kids not playing? The offense looks very flat. I also watched Landon play Bullis, Landon looks like a top D3 college team. Ball flying all over the place at 90 mph. Cuts, picks, dodges, really impressive. Have absolutely no dog in the fight, public school kids, but it seems to me there needs to be a change at Chammy. Love that guy JM, taught my son some things years ago when my son played Express, but it seems like he might need to go join Dom.

There were several freshman players who started (or got significant minutes) and did well even though they do not play for a "top" club team.
Why do you keep saying they have plenty of talent they lost every big game they played ?
I think the problem with the freshman team was the balance of the schedule. They killed their opponent in every game they won but lost every time they played a good team, like Delbarton and Darien. The one exception to this was Cold Spring Harbor. They came back from a 5-1 deficit against Delbarton in 3OT, the game could have gone either way. But against Darien the offense looked completely flat the whole game against a very strong Darien defense (who pulled down sophomores for that game).

Wait until next year when they have a Soph starting.
bitter senior parent. you drank the koolaid. your 3rd stringers were just not as good as you wished. the team wouldn't have all the wins they had without the juniors.
I have to imagine it's the coaching. They have a ton of talent and it seems like they're holding them back. They don't take advantage of the transition game at all. Let them run. Maybe it's ego. Maybe it's over coaching, IDK.
Wait until next year when they have a Soph starting.[/quote]
Yes - but he will be 17 years old. Not really a sophomore
Yes - but he will be 17 years old. Not really a sophomore
Maybe the juniors are just better than the seniors. Guess there was no gold at the end of the rainbow for u . Thx for finding ND1 and xpre$$ family vacations to paradise island. Sucke$$. Your kid is great , D-1 for sure. 90$ an hour. Great investment
You bickering parents are a great advertisement for the cohesiveness of the Chaminade Flyers Lacrosse team...jeez. I'm sure your kids don't listen to your discussions and gripes over dinner and bring that sentiment back onto the practice fiels, huddles and locker room either. Now I'm sure St. A's wins round three AGAIN.
hahaha....spot on....raw but spot on...
Who said he is being moved up ? Wont happen dont need him if everything you are saying is true. Between next years Juniors and seniors they will be fine. Better than fine

That's what they said this year:
current seniors 33-0 freshman and JV (1st team ever in Chaminade history to do it)
current juniors 33-0 freshman and JV (2nd team to do it)
This season - disaster! 4 losses which could be 5 after Thursday (although probably not - Anthonys down this year as well). If they brought him up he would be 17 anyway - same age as most kids on the varsity.
By the way - the talent is there - It is the coaching not the players why they lose
no .....its the lack of depth.
Some coaching yes but players need to run the plays and finish....
Chaminade needs to get off there high horse and let underclassmen play on Varsity. It is ridiculous that they don't. In my town I think there were 5 Freshman on Varsity this year and all five contributed. The five were better then most of the upper classmen, so play up if your good enough.

The offense missed many opportunities which could have won the game. Darien only scored one goal against Chaminades settled defense. Rest of goals were unsettled from turnovers. Close Defense on both sides were outstanding. Delbarton, Darien and Chaminade are equal in talent and any team can beat the other on any given day. They were great games to watch.

"equal"??
"beat each other on any given day"??
Haha!! Only problem is Cham did't win. Easy thing to say for the loser
How about....The better team actually wins the games, doesn't make excuses
I can not believe what I am reading. Someone actually said the chosen ones are equal to another team.

No, just panties.
I'm not a Chaminade parent (CSH), but the pantyhose and panties jokes are in poor taste. You are making fun of high school kids, grow up.

Poor taste maybe, but still good fun.
A bright note for Chaminade fans and parents: four of this year's D1 playoff teams were captained by Chaminade grads: Loyola (Carrigan), Yale (Pratt), Duke (Fowler), and Maryland (Muller).

This kid has to be the second coming! Friar alumni here, I'm embarrassed and ashamed for them! I went to school with lots(probably about 6-8)of friends that were booted with 68-74 averages! This is an absolute shame for the rest of the kids on that team that worked hard this season! A full house cleaning is the only way to get this stink off of the school and team! I would have loved if they still played the game, just to let the boys have it!

Unfortunately, this is the case, or close to it. However the young man is still only 17 years old. We all know there are plenty of 19 year old seniors out there.

What is also relevant is that the kid played 5 yrs of High school lacrosse as a high school student. If you happen to be in public school and play varsity as an 8th grade student and move to a private school as a 9th grader, for the start of high school, that student is still eligible to play 5 yrs of high school lacrosse . For the purposes of NY state you are not a high school student until 9th grade.
Ad and coaches should have been aware . Bad situation all around.
What's the difference between this kid, uh, man and all the other holdbacks ?
Agree they should have played the game. So unfair to the seniors at both schools who did nothing wrong. I would look for the head coach to be removed though.
He did 9th at st ants. The rest of the above timeline is accurate. The AD has no records. Give me a break. Kid is on age. That a fact.

Seems like probably an accident then? Coaches didn't understand the rules until it was too late?
I guess they caught it and reacted quickly so as to not negatively affect the coming football season?
Bottom line. Both Weizorick and Channy are corrupt people. The express organization is corrupt so why are we surprised they wouldn't try something with the High School. Idiots!!!
no way he is 17

If that timeline is correct that is just pathetic. Give me a break. This is Catholic high school athletics, not UNLV basketball or Florida State football where anything goes.
So St. Anothonys vs Chaminade is not on Thursday ??
So much for the Catholic ethics! What a disgrace! Coach should be fired. Brought shame on the school and lacrosse program.
That's funny... St. Anthony's so scared to play this year they turned themselves in....hahahahahahaha Even the Bravo team kicked St. Anthony's [lacrosse].
Didn't want to officially give up the ship!
Didn't want to officially give up the ship!
Extremely sad for all involved. Especially Seniors from Chaminade and St. Ant's. They never got to have their last game.
with everyone knowing who's who in the lacrosse world, why is this only coming up now? Who reported it and why now?
they would have lost anyway...but yes a shame for both teams.
Chaminades high horse has won them many championships. There are too many good players in every grade, why would they pull up?

This kid has to be the second coming! Friar alumni here, I'm embarrassed and ashamed for them! I went to school with lots(probably about 6-8)of friends that were booted with 68-74 averages! This is an absolute shame for the rest of the kids on that team that worked hard this season! A full house cleaning is the only way to get this stink off of the school and team! I would have loved if they still played the game, just to let the boys have it!
Kid did not play 5 years of varsity, played only 2 yrs on Varsity but played 5 yrs of "High School" lacrosse as a high school student. The year that he re classed he would have had to sat out that season, apparently did not . He apparently played 2 yrs of Freshman lax, 1 year of JV and 2 yrs of Varsity , thus 5 yrs of High School lax . Coaches and AD should have known , no excuses . Kid not an impact player by any stretch , but no excuses .
So they don't play SA, who is now n second place they play. Cry me a river Chaminade. Your not playing. Game because you didn't want to. 1 plays 2. 2 isn't SA.
Exactly... what kind of a self righteous sanction, on the high school level, decides the best punishment is to pull a championship game right out from underneath, over 80 players looking forward, to perhaps their last HS Game? ... GREAT FAIL ALL ROUND.
Does anyone know exactly who were the bone head decision makers?

Embarrassing timeline... why now?? How did they manage to get in the St Dom's and St John's game after the fact?? Forget the kid... This is St Anthony's Cowardly way to avoid the 2nd Chaminade blow out... They avoided the 3rd by canceling the long standing 3 game annual series.
Really? You're gonna trash the kids at SA!! They and their parents are very upset. These kids worked hard all season and wanted to play today. It's the administrations fault. Not the players. Some adults really need to grow up

Let's not forget the fact that when St. Anthony's varsity lacrosse lost to Chaminade earlier this season, several St. Anthony's players urinated all over the visiting locker room at Chaminade. One of them subsequently bragged about it on social media.

Great reply
Hey -- SHA girls play St Ant's at 7 pm for the title at Adelphi. Chaminade men welcome to root for the Lady Spartans, #1 seed.
I am very confused SA turned themselves in. Why not suspend the player, play the game then get the punishment from the league. no league turns a ruling around that quick. Or has this been in the works and,no coming to light what is the timeline here.
And again why. Isn't championship game being played. It should be Chaminade vs who ever is now the #2 team.

I'm sure they only "turned themselves in" because someone threatened to drop a dime first. It is inconceivable that St Ant's coaches didn't know this kid's player history.
What does not add up for me is the 5 years of HS lacrosse rule - more then a few kids have played JV or Varsity in 8th grade at their public HS and then went to Cham or ST A's for four years of lacrosse. Also I believe there is a freshman on St. A's right now that played varsity last year for Bayshore and Varsity for St A's this year, will he be ineligible his senior year?
As for today's game, just let the kids play, if it is a forfeit nobody will care after the fact, just let them finish their season and in many cases their careers.
Just MHO

Please stop showing your ignorance. There are only 2 teams in Triple A. Technically either team could lose every game during the season and still be playing for the championship. Maybe not the best arrangement but that's how the leagues are set-up. As far as all the drama....like everything else totally overhyped..... Its high school lacrosse!!!! Like a previous poster stated play out the games. This was an admin mistake. So what.....its high school lacrosse!!!! The kid skipped 8th grade and repeated 10th. That's a big deal?? (sarcastic).....its high school lacrosse!!! Finally.....I guess if you want to cheat..... hold kid back before kindergarten, repeat 8th grade so your 2 years older then attend school. That is ok ?????

I agree, flyers should play whom ever came in 3rd (now 2nd place since St.A's vacated all wins.
League really had no choice but to be harsh in their ruling, otherwise, this crap would continue!
I would really feel bad if the kid had no idea he did something wrong, letting his team down like that.
Coaches absolutely knew. You don't go to St Anthonys and play lacrosse without the coaches knowing who you are especially since the kid probably played Express as well. But who does 10th grade twice. I guess you have to say since the coaches are new they did not know all the rules oh wait they have been there for ever and do what ever they want. Admin finally stepped up but now finish the job and send a message. Someone needs to be fired and not some poor asst. Cancelling the game although hurts many Maybe this was the last straw for the admin. since they were also aware of the locker room stuff from game at Chaminade.
Have to figure that with all the emphasis that Saint A's puts on competitive athletics, things like this are bound to happen.
With all the kids that go there just for sports, that more than a few will turn-out to be trouble for the programs there. Just look at the 9th grade girls lax player who was shown the door last semester. She was actively pursued by the school with her baggage.
Agreed, any coach worth his sideline attire would have known that the kid had played all these years.

The "5 year rule" is in effect once you enter HS. A 8th grader that is moved up does not count towards the 5 yer rule. It is when you start HS.

Exactly my thinking. People who want a Catholic education would not think to first call their lawyer. That is one of the reasons why I pay to send my kids to an environment where they are not with people like you.
Where is The Catholic League's voice of reason here??
...The punishment was accepted without any investigation... little, or no regard, to the their thoughtless sanction impact on Seniors (on both sides) who were robbed on the memory of last game... (many posters may not remember your last HS gm, if it wasn't for the Championship)

Weizorick and Channy should recuse themselves from the UA event that they are involved with. They cheat, period. Channy and a Keith have had kids from the Express team who go to school in the city involved with his St Anthony's practices. Totally inappropriate!! They can't help themselves and just like with this issue; they will run a corrupt UA tryout.

Hahaha, the jokes on you! Sent your kid to private shool because you thought the grass would be greener. Spent all that money to find out that the school is incompetent. My son is getting ready to play for a real HS championship while your son's memories of HS lax are a colossal disappointment.

yea ok......school please???
I love the fact that either one of those two teams can technically lose every game, but declare themselves some kind of state champion.
The rules are very clear: If a school uses an ineligible student in any interscholastic contest, such contest
shall be forfeited to the opposing schools. With regard to playoffs, at the time of discovery the school declared
ineligible will be disqualified from the tournament immediately.

Nothing will happen, just talk and maybe just maybe a sorry somewhere in there.
The kids will be the only ones who suffer (both teams). AD and coaches will be just fine.

Agree on all your points. Coaches knew for sure. Really stinks that the players at SA & Chaminade suffer because of adults egos and power. Several should resign.

Oh really? And what exactly would your lawyer do? Who you gonna sue? St A violated the rules, plain and simple, and will now face the consequences. You're an idiot.

It's not just 5 years of HS sports. It's 5 years as a High School student. Students who play HS sports as an eigth grader still have an additional 4 years of eligibility.

Thank you, now it makes sense and it is a good rule for obvious reasons although from the looks of it the decision to repeat had nothing to do with athletics - I will stand by my second point - let them play the game.

If he loses will you call your REDICULOUS attorney? A$$ hat, my kid goes to public too. But reading your comment I was embarrassed for you. Let me guess, Syosset? Or Port? REDICULOUS!!!!!
Newsday is reporting that the coach self reported, seems they did the right thing. It is unfortunate but the rules were enforced. Coach W, who I do not know seems like an honest enough fellow.
They should all be fired. Send the message loud and clear!!

Exactly right. While we all feel bad for the other players, they knew as well. Everyone there knew. It is not surprising that this is the culture. This is exactly what is happening in lacrosse, everyone does what they want, whether it negatively impacts other families or not. So, I would say to stop whining about it because after all....they are only following the rules, right?

Tear down the school!
Take away all of the trophies they ever won!
End the lacrosse program entirely!
Then on to the parents of this horrible cheater, they knew.
Banish them to Mastic Beach! No, that is too nice, banish them Wyandanch!
So has this kid committed to a college?
I blame the parents and the coaches (travel and h s) and the AD and the school admin.
Reclassifying is a joke and cheating .
Trying it this way was absurd.
Maybe now the chsaa can address this issue head on.
As far as the game .... Play it ! - a second bravo game- coached by the captains maybe
The black and red captained scrimmage.

You are making a lot of assumptions about a situation you obviously know nothing about.
The other players did not know. This is not the culture. This was an oversight by the AD who should have been aware of the situation.
Given the talent pool, the coaches certainly do not have to break the rules and risk the season to field a competitive team. The rules were violated and the consequences are clear. This was not a case of malicious intent but rather ignorance and incompetence.

Thank you, now it makes sense and it is a good rule for obvious reasons although from the looks of it the decision to repeat had nothing to do with athletics - I will stand by my second point - let them play the game.
The league rules are black and white on this - if you don't follow those rules, why have them??
Exactly right. While we all feel bad for the other players, they knew as well. Everyone there knew. It is not surprising that this is the culture. This is exactly what is happening in lacrosse, everyone does what they want, whether it negatively impacts other families or not. So, I would say to stop whining about it because after all....they are only following the rules, right?
You are making a lot of assumptions about a situation you obviously know nothing about.
The other players did not know. This is not the culture. This was an oversight by the AD who should have been aware of the situation.
Given the talent pool, the coaches certainly do not have to break the rules and risk the season to field a competitive team. The rules were violated and the consequences are clear. This was not a case of malicious intent but rather ignorance and incompetence.

Let's not forget the fact that when St. Anthony's varsity lacrosse lost to Chaminade earlier this season, several St. Anthony's players urinated all over the visiting locker room at Chaminade. One of them subsequently bragged about it on social media.
This is a much bigger deal than the eligibility issue.

TKO!
Hahaha, the jokes on you! Sent your kid to private shool because you thought the grass would be greener. Spent all that money to find out that the school is incompetent. My son is getting ready to play for a real HS championship while your son's memories of HS lax are a colossal disappointment.
If he loses will you call your REDICULOUS attorney? A$$ hat, my kid goes to public too. But reading your comment I was embarrassed for you. Let me guess, Syosset? Or Port? REDICULOUS!!!!!
Keep Syosset out of this toolbox. No dog in the fight. This is a terrible situation for many kids and families, especially the seniors.
Game should be played even if only as a "scrimmage."
I heard self reported right before Chaminade Championship game for a reason. Catch my drift.... they will try to hold the trophey and call it "Forfeit"
I do not understand why a SA kid is repeating a grade. If he was failing, how was he able to stay at SA? I thought, and I could be wrong, that if you don't pass, they send you back to public school. Did they make him repeat 10th grade at SA and not send him back to public so they could keep him on the team?

I thought I saw another post (maybe in the Boys HS forum) where someone corrected the record to say he did not repeat 10th grade at St A, but that he attended 9th grade in public, repeated 9th at St A,, and then progressed through his next three years at St A as appropriate.

Its funny that you try and bring Syosset and Port into this. This is a administration issue within a Catholic school system that has shown to be so flawed. I dont know how an attorney will solve any issue. Its a game that wont be played. The issue is with this year and this particular players eligibility. How could the schools administration and coaches not be aware of the situation. As a matter of fact how could the parents and player not be aware of the infraction. I find it hard to believe they waited till the last game to report it. Something smells a bit fishy here.

brought from Boys HS site>
Let me get this straight ... this player finished 7th grade and the following school year went to 9th grade in Saint Anthony's. Finished 9th grade and went on to 10th grade. So at this point this player repeats 10th grade, which would now bring him back in the grade he should have been in and continues on that track to this year's graduation. Understood he played all 5 years in but there are plenty of long island players who play varsity in 8th grade and will end up playing 5 years of high school ball. He seems to be of age for a varsity player...not a hold back....plus he skipped 8th grade. Lets move on!!!
Don't see REDICULOUS guy stating he's NOT from Syosset or Port, therefore I believe the original assumption to be factual.

Clear enough A-Hole???
yes, forfeit the crappy season get it off the books and don't have an "official" championship loss. Catch my drift.... typical
yes, they are very classy those St. Anthony's boys. And smart too.... bragging about it on social media! Genius!
Playing a sport at St Anthony's is tougher than making a lot of college teams. And when your program is that strong and expected to win, rules are bent just like they are in college. Lots of money and bragging rights at stake. St Anthony's has a lot of kids on scholarship that don't belong and why do you think that is....?
Just win baby!
Just win baby!
nice try....sure that post was from st ants. person.

Methinks thou doth protest too much! Thanks Brave, so predictable. Why the question marks though? Are you asking a question?
While no one knows all the ins and outs of the sitution
Seems like this was a bad idea from jump street
Having child skip 8th grade
It would seem to make that type of move he would have to be very gifted in the classroom ?
But to then repeat a grade a few years later
Hopefully just a oversight as pointed out above
But sure seems like more to the story

"Harder than College teams""?? Really? You've got to stop smoking that crack! St A and Cham no different than any other good LI HS program. None of them compare to a college team.
Chaminade would have gotten their rear ends handed to them in Championship game. That's why they turned kid in.

If you don't think securing a roster spot at ST A's is harder than most D3 teams then you haven't been through the process. I'm not saying its better lacrosse but it is harder to get on the roster

Good for the st a parent who blew the whistle. Anyone who thinks otherwise is quite naive. When people wake up from the st a / x press coma after their wallet has been fleeced it's a true moment of clarity. Good for u sta fed up parent. Break the circle people . If u listen to fools, the mob rules.

Yeah Dad! It was epic!! ...no refs, no clock, no coaches...no care.
Someone suggested a charity fund raiser game...
but, who else, gets the sense that Coaches, simply don't care enough, to go out of their way and make it happen?

Definitely not a Syosset Dad. Syosset dads are thinking about the playoff's, not posting on BOTC or planning their summer beach plans like SA Dads.
Have a nice summer fool.

Doubt it.
Oh yes it did. Kid wearing a SA #22 jersey. Looking at his size , it probably happened near snack bar
And let's not forget about the hillbilly in the Cavs jersey in bare feat.
He was a real class act!!
He was a real class act!!
Do you also doubt that the St. Anthonys Varsity team urinated on the floor of the flyers locker room after the game? Wake up parents, ALL OF OUR schools everywhere, have kids making bad choices but instead of doubting it , ask your children. As parents this is the time/opportunity to discourage poor behavior before we send them off to college. I for one use all of these horrible college stories to talk to my son, about excessive drinking, drugs, being a good person, friend, making right choices. They are becoming adults and its no longer oh boys will be boys! Its putting as much into our kids being good people, not just good lacrosse players. Why do people think that they don't need to check in with 16/17 year old kids? Talk to them, discuss their friends, try to make sure they are safe and helping others be safe and yes they can still have great times.
It absolutely happened -- I saw it and heard it. Friars kid walked in front of the SHA student section -- which is all girls btw -- and yelled that P word loud and clear for the SHA parents in the adjacent parent section to hear it loud and clear.

If you lose will your attorney be there? I knew you were a Syosset dad as soon as I saw the reference to an attorney. So predictable.

Mom get off your soap box. What is this your attempt to pay it forward? Give me a break. And yes, I do doubt the St. Anthony's varsity team urinated on the floor of the Flyers locker room after the game. It was probably before the game.

if you say this happened, not one parent stood up and said something, not one dad corrected this young man. Maybe then he did and was talking to the parents and not the girls

St. Anthony's is gross. No way in [lacrosse] the Head Coach didn't know before now. To argue otherwise is just silly. They know all the kids. As for the championship game being canceled, that is terrible for all the players. But dont get mad at the league. Get mad at the player (and his parents) for cheating and St. Anthony's administration for being complicit in the scheme and/or incompetant when it comes to managing their varsity lacrosse program.

So let me get this straight... It was ONE kid? The original post made it sound like a group of kids.
I'm not saying it was right but you are bashing a ton of kids because of ONE kid saying something that I don't know of anyone who heard other than you. My kid doesn't go to St. Anthony's but stop with the bashing so much. I know a lot of great kids & families that go to the school.
Corruption is the name of the game when it comes to Boys lacrosse. The adults involved are some of the most crooked individuals you will ever encounter in any facet of life.
Game is great ,young kids are innocent but the adults are broken.
And its everywhere!!!!!

Not condoning what happened. Terrible mistake. Kid is not an impact player and I do not believe the coach knew because he only deals with varsity players and this boy only played two years (including this season) on the varsity team. Obviously someone knew and it was reported by the administration. Player is still 17 from what I am told and I know of numerous 19 year olds who played high school lacrosse this year, including one of your own stars. There were significant penalties which, unfortunately, also hurt Chaminade. But Mom, really, ask yourself why 19 year olds are playing HS lacrosse. Both my kids will be 17 when they start college. Neither needed to be held back or re-classed. [lacrosse], you guys have freshmen who are 16. To me that is both gross and nasty....lol...your words. But unlike you, I am not going to disparage the entire Chaminade student body and administration as you have done with St.As. Chaminade is a tremendous school and if I lived in Nassau I would send my boys there. I am sure you will post again about how St. As students did this or that. Go ahead if it makes you feel better about yourself. For that matter, continue your rant on how we should raise our children as you stood on a soapbox on a lacrosse forum. I need your advice (not really)since both of my kids will go to St.As.

You are obviously uninformed about the circumstances. But why know the facts when you can write your ignorant blabber.

St. A's enforces very strict academic requirements that are very demanding...

It's his job to know, which is exactly why he shouldn't have one anymore. Kind of Ironic though how all these kids left their home HSs to play for a mediocre Catholic program, and now many of them get to watch their own home HSs battle for real championships while they got robbed due to incompetence.
Can anyone ever cite precedence of a High School Championship Game Cancellation (in any sport)?
...let alone, due to 1 ineligible player... I'm thinking never.

Go ahead if it makes you feel better about yourself. For that matter, continue your rant on how we should raise our children as you stood on a soapbox on a lacrosse forum. I need your advice (not really)since both of my kids will go to St.As.
It's his job to know, which is exactly why he shouldn't have one anymore. Kind of Ironic though how all these kids left their home HSs to play for a mediocre Catholic program, and now many of them get to watch their own home HSs battle for real championships while they got robbed due to incompetence.
Dangerous assumption; ALL kids leaving hometown HS for sports.
...found the Opposite is true.
Most families (cant speak for St A but, as 4yr Cham parent) chose Catholic School, DESPITE, the very realistic possibilities of athletic frustrations.
The talent pool depth leaves little margin of error for young athletes - "next up" sports team culture is sobering... must carefully weigh all aspects before deciding.
Maybe this will serve as a wake up call to all.
But probably not. I have to confess that although not against the rules, a 16 year old freshman is against the spirit of the rules.

I feel bad for your wife...
I guess the SA kid didn't get the memo to spend his 5 and 6th year of hs at Deerfield or Salisbury like the chaminade kids do
It's over, it's done. Enough, move on, nothing to see here. Kids go to Catholic HS to get a Catholic education first, play lacrosse second.

SA JV boys basketball was also disqualified earlier this year for ineligible players
SA JV boys basketball had no such incidence. You are a liar.

Not condoning what happened. Terrible mistake. Kid is not an impact player and I do not believe the coach knew because he only deals with varsity players and this boy only played two years (including this season) on the varsity team. Obviously someone knew and it was reported by the administration. Player is still 17 from what I am told and I know of numerous 19 year olds who played high school lacrosse this year, including one of your own stars. There were significant penalties which, unfortunately, also hurt Chaminade. But Mom, really, ask yourself why 19 year olds are playing HS lacrosse. Both my kids will be 17 when they start college. Neither needed to be held back or re-classed. [lacrosse], you guys have freshmen who are 16. To me that is both gross and nasty....lol...your words.

If violation of the rules with clearly defined penalties for violation are a crock, then yes it was a crock also. Eighth grader brought up to play varsity but the player didn't meet some of the physical requirements to play up.

Why are you mixing public school and private schools?? They are governed by different bodies, with wholly distinct rule sets. IE, one has nothing to do with the other.

yeah, notice how he was a good player, was the test relevant to the sport, no it wasnt. As for the test they squashed it the next year (or year after that) so the rules for the physical test were a crock and found to be such and done away with.
what ever happened to that player and coach?
So if the season doesnt count is it conceivable to think the players get their year of eligibility back?

Then why didn't they play in the championship game? Because they brought varsity players back to JV team for playoffs

You cannot possibly be this stupid.
You speak with such conviction about a scenario in which you have no clue about the rules. Catholic League Basketball rules state that players can only play in one playoff (Varsity or JV). JV players may go up and down during the season for a set number of games before they must stay up on Varsity. None of the JV players were near that number of games. The player you speak of was a Freshman, who was up for a few non league games, and was sent back to the JV to play in their playoffs. The Sophomore who came up, stayed on Varsity for the playoffs. Both could have played the JV Championship, but one stayed with the Varsity.
So.... kid who caused the uproar at St. A was sabotaged by the Mom of the backup LSM. Mommy was pissed her son wasn't starting, so she blew the whistle. Shame on the selfish [lacrosse]!

So it's the whistle blowers fault? Yes, that's exactly what's wrong with society today. Nobody wants to be held accountable for their own actions.

Season counted as the games were played. They just forfeited all of them.

Test is meant to verify physical maturity. Test still exists for all sports if a middle school player is pulled up to JV or Varsity.

Are you that f'n stupid to say that. This isnt about accoubtability.
In general, I am okay with whistle blowers. But when the motive is as rotten as the situation you have to think twice. The question has to be, If her kid was playing would she have made a stink.
Whistle blowing for the sake of justice and Right i have no problem with... I have an issue when it is an issue of self-promotion

The "test" does not exist, another one was put in its place. Not the same process less vigorous. Has even less to do with any sport. As well, get rid of the 3 days of tryouts for the underclassmen; If they cant take the first month let them be allowed to drop back to MS ball.

Time to find another school for little Johnny alter boy.
I don't claim that the Mid Atlantic folks are any smarter than our Long Island friends but would it not make sense that the semi final team that lost to St. Ants would be declared the winner since they have to forfeit the win. Wouldn't it make sense for that team to play Chaminade for the title? What am I missing. (please don't correct any grammar) Just answer what seems to be an easy question from the outside.

Whistle blower in this case (apparently) was a malcontent... How is it, that you can't find anyone from; Coaches, Players, parents, fans, alumni, faculty, administration, on neither Anthony's nor Chaminade, that was in favor of canceling Championship game, but game was still cancelled?
Opinion Question, will Chaminade's Varsity team be stronger, weaker, or same next year?

Dear Hillary, CHSAA felt it was right to cancel game. Result: cancelled! Please don't speak for everyone you ignorant jackass. You must be a St. A guy, proper grammar is either, not neither, you moron .

There is no semi-final team that lost to St. Anthony's. Chaminade and St. Anthony's are the only two AAA Catholic school teams in the state. They play each other for the "championship" every year.

Hint: Not one of those people had any authority to be involved in a decision based upon established rules that clearly laid out the resulting penalties.

Easy Answer to your "Easy Question": While your alternative solution might be reasonable, it is an alternative, IE, NOT the solution clearly laid in the established league's rules to deal with specific situation at hand. It is both surprising and sad how the concept of adhering to rules is foreign to so many.[u][/u]
Parents doing all that jockeying around, reclassing, changing schools multiple times...for what?
a trip to Arcadia
destruction of two teams seasons
winning their son the "pariah of the year" award
priceless
a trip to Arcadia
destruction of two teams seasons
winning their son the "pariah of the year" award

Nice way to be remembered.......The kid who's helicopter mom destroyed the lacrosse season.......loser.

There is no semi-final team that lost to St. Anthony's. Chaminade and St. Anthony's are the only two AAA Catholic school teams in the state. They play each other for the "championship" every year.
In this situation the winner of the AA should have been asked to play Chaminade for a unified championship this year, not fear to any of the Seniors on both side but especially Chaminade seniors. They are entitled to play a last game in the colors of their school

First, there is a limit to the number of games a team can play in a season. Second, they did play a last game it just happened it wasn't for the AAA "championship".
How was Chaminade's season destroyed?
Boo hoo! Really.? You obviously have. I idea what playing at SA or Chaminde is like and what that last game means to these great kids. People in the outside have NO clue but claim to know everything

If you went to either of these schools you should demand a full refund, you write like a third grader. And NO ONE cares but you, waaaaa, stomp feet and ball up little fists, our season got cut short.
And you act like a third grader

Again -- nobody from either school (C or StA) really refers to it as a "state" championship. The only people who might are first-time parents.

Whether your kids go public, private, Cham, Anthony's, doesn't matter... do you remember how great the feeling of playing a varsity sport, with all your friends, gearing up in anticipation, to compete against your schools' historical arch nemesis (topped w Championship title on the line)??
...once, in a lifetime experience... if you are lucky enough, by making (nowadays) year round sacrifices (training, practicing, missing parties, vacation, etc...) to be in that position to lay it all on the line one last time for your teamates and school colors...
yeah, no one died, and life goes on... but roughly 50 (seniors) were Robbed of that "once in a lifetime feeling" because some tired, beaten down adults, decided to take the easy way out, and hide behind an antiquated, CYA rule.
...pretty soon, no one will give it another thought, Except, of course, when those 50 kids, fast forward to adults, and decide to look back, on their day, that did not happen.

No it's not, a rule was broken, should it have been covered up? Is that what you're writing? Cover up the offense so the boys can play? It's unfortunate that one family from St A decided to try to game the system. He got caught, penalties come with breaking the rules

The penalty for using an ineligible player is severe. Athletic directors and coaches knew that it is severe but neglected to do their due diligence (their job) to make sure there were no ineligible players on the field. You say it is an antiquated rule - why so?

OK mom. Your kid didn't play before you tattled, and now he will never play. What did you actually accomplish? Some things are better left alone.

Nice comment from the original poster.
Totally agree that the parents made it about them. They tried to beat the system and take unfair advantage of things for their own (and little johnny's) benefit.
Instead the took a sledge hammer to the whole season of their son's team and destroyed the dreams of two teams (especially the seniors) who deserved the chance to play and run onto the field as triumphant victors at the end of their last championship game in their final season.
The dream of Sticks jubilantly thrown high in the air, sprinting to their goalie, jumping in each other's arms, the pile on at mid field, shoulder bumps, chest bumps, fist bumps, high fives and the roar of the crowd
....All Gone! Nothing.
Nothing but disappointment and a memo from St. Anthony's athletic director.
For many boys, their last game -LAST GAME, never happened.
That is some legacy!

....Antiquated rule and punishment, because It's a 2 teams league (Chaminade/Anthony's) - Can't effectively Sanctioning 1 team from Championship, without denying the 2nd Team from competition... it's, not as if, there is an opportunity for the next runner up team.

Who said anything about covering it up?? The original poster painted a vivid picture of how the nuclear penalty ubruptly ended kids' careers (from opposing team) whom had nothing to do with the infraction

yeah, no one died, and life goes on... but roughly 50 (seniors) were Robbed of that "once in a lifetime feeling" because some tired, beaten down adults, decided to take the easy way out, and hide behind an antiquated, CYA rule.
...pretty soon, no one will give it another thought, Except, of course, when those 50 kids, fast forward to adults, and decide to look back, on their day, that did not happen.
The penalty for using an ineligible player is severe. Athletic directors and coaches knew that it is severe but neglected to do their due diligence (their job) to make sure there were no ineligible players on the field. You say it is an antiquated rule - why so?
....Antiquated rule and punishment, because It's a 2 teams league (Chaminade/Anthony's) - Can't effectively Sanctioning 1 team from Championship, without denying the 2nd Team from competition... it's, not as if, there is an opportunity for the next runner up team.
Was it ever more than a 2-team league . . .??
St. A's would've won the 3rd game, as usual. Consider yourselves spared Flyers. Can't wait for next years version at Chaminade of the jr parents griping about the seniors...just remember, what comes around goes around.

Tough $h*t. Boo freaking hoo, get over yourself losers!
Now that the season is behind us lets look forward.
Can Kellenberg step up to the AAA league; losing some talent but the 2018/2019's players made some noise as JV last year and many key players now have a season of varsity under their belts. Will '18 be the year everyone thinks for Chaminade, with the sophomores coming up can the 18/19 group prove to be a national powerhouse team. St. Anthony's do they have anything to prove do they have to rise up or will the mix of 18/19/20 set the stage for some amazing things to come. While we are at it, why not blend Iona, Fordham and Stepinac into AAA, making it a 6 team division.
Get ride of AA and help St. John's (before they implode) and St. Dom's (with their youth) and move them into A with Trinity and St. Mary's (along with Farrell and Kennedy). With 5 teams plenty of ruoom to play Publics or step up to play a game against the AAA or out of state teams.
Who is doing what as a team over the summer? Don't give me the Club BS either, room enough to do both and remember school ball always comes first!

Club is not BS, that is where the kids get recruited. Not room enough to do both - limited # of weekends, school ball always comes first except when it doesn't, like summer.

All while my son has been lighting it up on varsity since freshman year for a great public school program, and I mean great athletically as well as academically. He will go to a top 20 school with enough AP credits to enter with sophomore standing. And he has the excitement and experience of 4 years of varsity. Is there really even a debate?
That's so not the norm. Congrats to your prodigy. If you were all that there would be no need to trash talk on a Chamnade thread.
Not trash talking, just stating facts. And my son is certainly not the only one. Go to WM,Syosset, SE,GC,etc, you will find many similar stories. If you are happy at Cham, that's great. Just suggesting many publics offer the kids a better overall experience. Oh,and there are girls!
Hmmmm, the bull4hit meter is redlining! I don't even know where to start with your nonsense. I guess I'll just wait for your son to walk on water this summer. Thanks for the laugh Pinocchio!

That's the truth. Parents made it about them. Very sad.
No it's not, a rule was broken, should it have been covered up? Is that what you're writing? Cover up the offense so the boys can play? It's unfortunate that one family from St A decided to try to game the system. He got caught, penalties come with breaking the rules

Who said anything about covering it up?? The original poster painted a vivid picture of how the nuclear penalty ubruptly ended kids' careers (from opposing team) whom had nothing to do with the infraction
Too bad, it wasn't the "nuclear" penalty, it was the appropriate penalty as decided by the CHSAA. They are HS Seniors, they are students, lacrosse is not there career. Stop acting like this is more than what it is, a bunch of kids had the game cancelled. That's it, you are a cry baby, it's embarrassing so please stop.

...you are clueless... BOTC is a HS lacrosse forum. Please go back to CNN, The View, or wherever you get your favorite fake news.
Clearly you have never lace them up, if u did u would realize how big that game was to the seniors.

Oh, and BTW - word was dozens of college coaches were planning on attending Chaminade/Anthony's game... most players are committed, but crappy lost opportunity for unsettled players.
Chaminade will always be stacked... although they are loosing 3/4 of their D, FOGO, and Dodging Attack threat
Entitled [lacrosse] boys who tried to cheat got there just desserts! Hahaha, too bad you're deceitful scumbags! Try again next year cry babies

Whether your kids go public, private, Cham, Anthony's, doesn't matter... do you remember how great the feeling of playing a varsity sport, with all your friends, gearing up in anticipation, to compete against your schools' historical arch nemesis (topped w Championship title on the line)??
...once, in a lifetime experience... if you are lucky enough, by making (nowadays) year round sacrifices (training, practicing, missing parties, vacation, etc...) to be in that position to lay it all on the line one last time for your teamates and school colors...
yeah, no one died, and life goes on... but roughly 50 (seniors) were Robbed of that "once in a lifetime feeling" because some tired, beaten down adults, decided to take the easy way out, and hide behind an antiquated, CYA rule.
...pretty soon, no one will give it another thought, Except, of course, when those 50 kids, fast forward to adults, and decide to look back, on their day, that did not happen.

The penalty for using an ineligible player is severe. Athletic directors and coaches knew that it is severe but neglected to do their due diligence (their job) to make sure there were no ineligible players on the field. You say it is an antiquated rule - why so?
....Antiquated rule and punishment, because It's a 2 teams league (Chaminade/Anthony's) - Can't effectively Sanctioning 1 team from Championship, without denying the 2nd Team from competition... it's, not as if, there is an opportunity for the next runner up team.
Oh, and BTW - word was dozens of college coaches were planning on attending Chaminade/Anthony's game... most players are committed, but crappy lost opportunity for unsettled players.
Yeah, where did that "word" come from? Your own a$$? Word had it, what a moron . Word had it that Clinton was going to win the election too.
Troll Revealed - Chaminade/ St Anthony's players heard the "word" from their college bound coach (Something You would NOT know about, but quite OBVIOUSLY touched a nerve... Not our fault.
Agreed. Never laced up... Doesn't have a kid on either team... Guess he proves the point, ... it's difficult to empathize when you are a narcissistic sociopath.
Yup... You and Alex Baldwin are still disappointed.
Now we will see Kellenberg start to build a quality lax program.
St. Anthony's is a bunch of cheating scumbags. Every player and coach knew about the ineligible player and said nothing. Got exactly what you deserved. Should extend into next season. Lying scumbags who want sympathy, sorry scumbags, not happening. You got what you deserved.

Yes, every year before 2006

be careful what you wish for.........they would all go back to publics and most of the public school kids will be sitting on the bench.....
My kid is public and would start on either team. so you be careful.
You also would have a lot of open college spots since most of your commits would never happen without their chaminade helmets on
Then those kids wouldn't be able to watch from the sidelines in college like they do in high school. I hate to break it to you but most of your kids are not as great as you think they are

Chaminade is no better than the good public programs, they have 2-3 players that are very good, the rest are just average, sorry. You just pay more money. I think most of the parents just like to drive around with a Cham bumper sticker. My kid will be going to a better school than most of the Cham graduates, will be entering with enough AP credits to be a Sophomore, and got to play a full season of lacrosse in an actual competitive league, not the wussy Catholic league riddled with cheating holdbacks. How di that work out for you this year?

My son took two AP classes as a sophomore, and three as a Jr. and Sr., Sciences are 4 college credits. Definitely possible to have enough credits to qualify as a college sophomore. Doesn't necessarily mean the kid can graduate early, but it sure is nice not have a to take more than 12 credits in college while playing lacrosse. Also the better HS programs have multiple kids going to Ivy League and other top 20 programs, so don't think it's BS. Definitely, the Lax part is spot on.

Most of them live in places with crappy public schools, with crappy lacrosse programs, hence the private education . A few live in lacrosse hot bed towns, they would have to compete for playing time.

Will continue his football career as a Grad Student. So yeah, had 60+ credits went in as a Jr. How about them public schools?

Most ????????. Where is your research obtained. Ok....I will bail you out. You have no idea what your talking about. For sure the private players would have most public players on the bench and whining to the coaches.

My son received 4/5 on the following exams granting him Sophomore status entering college. AP Bio, Chem, and Physics. AP Euro and American History, AP Calc A/B and B/C, AP Spanish, AP Computer Science. Sorry, you were not able to take advantage of the plethora of offering that public schools present. My son has taken advantage of all the great opportunities put in front of him and he is super prepared to take on the challenges at the next level.

Really?? This year's Chaminade team won
...2016 National HS Lacrosse Showcase Champions. Beating all National powerhouses including Maryland's best McDonough, Calvert Hall, St Paul...etc
Look it up, Than you can shut up...
He has gotten all AP scores back already? Thought they aren't released till first week of July? If he took all those prior to senior year, he must have started in 8th grade?

My son that I was referring to just finished his first year of college, second son is a current Jr. and is doing the same. You are correct that the scores are sent 1st week of July. Any other questions I can help you with? Why are you so mad that public schools offer so many opportunities that privates don't?
Yea ok..... school district that released scores already????? Nice try though. You forgot the intel finalist award and Brookhaven science award, NYS Hall award for gifted students

Sad for you that you're a jealous dope. You assume a lot of things! And don't use the word Intel finalist and Chaminade in the same sentence. Those types of honors are reserved for only the best programs. I know it's hard admitting your son doesn't have the same types of opportunities as mine and you're paying a lot of money for it.
Hey moron, please never compare Bay Shore to Chaminade. Worry about being equal to PM , Sayville and Floyd
Hey, how was that last lacrosse game for you? My senior will be playing for a county championship this week and then preparing to enter a top 20 school. So proud of him and our awesome public school program.
Anyone that thinks a PS grad and Chaminade grad of equal grades and Lax ability have the same opportunities is insane. A D1 school would take a chaminade grad over PS grad any day of the week and twice on Sunday. Sorry.

Figure it out on your own dummy! Not looking to draw attention to the kid. More interested in pointing out that it IS possible to achieve coming out of a Public. Something that cannot be done at some of the privates.
Top academic and athletic honors are given to public school kids every year. FACT.
Dummy????? usually that means your argument is invalid although you came up with 1 possible student. AP courses are offered in some privates with same option to transfer. Your argument is wrong. The quote was about private school lacrosse boys going back to their public school and benching the less talented players. Have a great day

Are you really trying to compare one of the best schools on the island to one of the worst. You cant be serious.
I will say, just like Chaminade or any other Catholic school, the BSHS did not make those students they way they are. The district at one time had very strong direction and great primary school, leadership right now is suspect and unproven; Maybe too much government rules and regulations, maybe not. You bring up the Dual language program, Bay Shore primary schools did a great job years ago identifying the accelerated students and their families at an early age (2nd grade - Not the HS, HS just benefited). You stood in line to get your child a seat in the UPK program. It wasn’t a babysitting service and an effort had to be made by the families. The service wasnt available for all, it was a lottery, treated as a select program. If your child was lucky enough to get a seat they would always have a leg up. I remember they said they would always track the UPK students’ progress; i have yet to see one - guess that fell to the wayside. The students who you are identifying as the top 25 were identified well before HS. Many (not all) of them graduating now and in the past few years were the product of a "Mr Fallon" and the old board which pioneered many things for their children. Not sure you will see the likes of those again (at least another 4 years).
As far as AP, St John’s and St. Anthony’s offer those same students you mentioned as the top, the opportunities to take AP exams, would be interesting to see how the students marks match up to their neighborhood brethren.
Did any of you ever read that there is a 60/40 minority split, yes 60% minorities, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that the main language (spoken in home) at the school is not English and the %'s project to get worse over time. Yes, worse; are you kidding me. I still dont believe that one (BOE page, auditors information). The school also wants to get rid of those programs that made our children flourish, those accelerated programs. Because like in sports everyone gets a participation trophy and how dare someone try to better themselves or their children. and I didnt even get to the gangs, violence, arrests and drugs. You will say every school has them right, ill agree to a point. but you ask any defector they will say you lose the kids and families because of the Middle school culture. 8th grade graduation is a real eye opener for some. Try getting a grip on that. Although the high school is different, I can fully understand those not willing to gamble with their children's future.
Sports/activities, its simple. If you are a female great, a runner even better, if you are in music or drama it is an amazing school. Bring back the marching band! However, if you are male and play competitive sports please research your options. Is the core of the boaster club a figure-head chair who thinks they are the AD, worse thing that happen to district. Sorry, not the worst that would be the non existent AD. All in all a recipe for disaster. As far as lax, it is a, could have | should have | would have. This should have been the best year BS had in a decades. and not just Basketball. The talent had been there since youth. Bay Shore has always had some good youth programs look at its pool of talent. Never want to see anyone lose their job but it is time, its time for the Athletic Director and his side kick chair to go.
That said, some families have better resources regardless, but wherever you go, you get out whatever you put in.

Besides Muller, other starters rotanz swr and Dolan was a umass transfer. Oconnell was chaminade grade, but non starter. How many public schools had more than 1 player on Maryland. And look across the teams in tourney. How many chaminade grades
Great to see Long Island represented, public and private, but to be fair you might want to check where some on that M defense went to HS.

Besides Muller, other starters rotanz swr and Dolan was a umass transfer. Oconnell was chaminade grade, but non starter. How many public schools had more than 1 player on Maryland. And look across the teams in tourney. How many chaminade grades
Northport fogo started for MD, but was pulled. OSU had two Smithtown kids, neither play. MD has a Smithtown West kid who doesn't play. Syosset has fogo on MD, never plays. Riverhead freshman on MD don't think he plays either. Not sure if I missed anyone? Looks like Rotanz was the only LI difference maker
It really bothers me how Garden City hasnt had the balls to play Chaminade, even though they play similar schedules. They just dont want to lose all of their GC talent to CHaminade once the kids see Garden City get their asses handed to them. It really shows how much gc wants to keep their "recruits".

Its Grad not grades. According to inside lacrosse there were 12 Chaminade Alumni competing in the 2017 NCAA tournament with 4 of them Team Captains.

Tens of thousand public school grads on long island vs 350 Chammy grads.......OK, this makes sense.

Muller and Rotanz stand out players, the rest...not so much. So can we agree that both public and private LI helped get the job done?

So what you are saying in essence is that GC kids at the public are superior to the kids playing at Chaminade from other towns and would unseat those kids. Hate to tell you this but in HC we embrace the kids and families from Chaminade and the public school. Unlike most (your) town we all get along just fine. If your son wants to get a Chaminade education we encourage you to take advantage of that. If you would like an excellent public school education we also encourage you to pursue that. Lacrosse is a very small part of the development of our young people. Thanks for your concern and sorry it "really bothers you", enjoy your holiday while reflecting on those lost in battle, which includes a Chaminade graduate.

Sure, but you must acknowledge and now agree with the original post on this thread. 2 chaminade players on team. 3 from all the other PS schools on LI.

Congratulations! You are the perfect parent... but, how did you possibly predict the AAA Catholic League Championship was going to be cancelled Senior year?? Had I known, definitely would've gone publi:/
Oh Besides, All American, Defensive player of the Year, Muller??

You're lying. If it were true, You would not feel the need to brag... on an anonymous forum. Loser.
Fair comparison - 1 private school vs entire LI public school player pool :I

25% of all the Teams involved had a Chaminade grad as a captain including Maryland , I guess you know more about lacrosse and leadership then the coaches.

Chaminade is smoke and mirrors. They don't win any highly competitive national competitions. A joke
Are you really trying to compare one of the best schools on the island to one of the worst. You cant be serious.
I will say, just like Chaminade or any other Catholic school, the BSHS did not make those students they way they are. The district at one time had very strong direction and great primary school, leadership right now is suspect and unproven; Maybe too much government rules and regulations, maybe not. You bring up the Dual language program, Bay Shore primary schools did a great job years ago identifying the accelerated students and their families at an early age (2nd grade - Not the HS, HS just benefited). You stood in line to get your child a seat in the UPK program. It wasn’t a babysitting service and an effort had to be made by the families. The service wasnt available for all, it was a lottery, treated as a select program. If your child was lucky enough to get a seat they would always have a leg up. I remember they said they would always track the UPK students’ progress; i have yet to see one - guess that fell to the wayside. The students who you are identifying as the top 25 were identified well before HS. Many (not all) of them graduating now and in the past few years were the product of a "Mr Fallon" and the old board which pioneered many things for their children. Not sure you will see the likes of those again (at least another 4 years).
As far as AP, St John’s and St. Anthony’s offer those same students you mentioned as the top, the opportunities to take AP exams, would be interesting to see how the students marks match up to their neighborhood brethren.
Did any of you ever read that there is a 60/40 minority split, yes 60% minorities, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that the main language (spoken in home) at the school is not English and the %'s project to get worse over time. Yes, worse; are you kidding me. I still dont believe that one (BOE page, auditors information). The school also wants to get rid of those programs that made our children flourish, those accelerated programs. Because like in sports everyone gets a participation trophy and how dare someone try to better themselves or their children. and I didnt even get to the gangs, violence, arrests and drugs. You will say every school has them right, ill agree to a point. but you ask any defector they will say you lose the kids and families because of the Middle school culture. 8th grade graduation is a real eye opener for some. Try getting a grip on that. Although the high school is different, I can fully understand those not willing to gamble with their children's future.
Sports/activities, its simple. If you are a female great, a runner even better, if you are in music or drama it is an amazing school. Bring back the marching band! However, if you are male and play competitive sports please research your options. Is the core of the boaster club a figure-head chair who thinks they are the AD, worse thing that happen to district. Sorry, not the worst that would be the non existent AD. All in all a recipe for disaster. As far as lax, it is a, could have | should have | would have. This should have been the best year BS had in a decades. and not just Basketball. The talent had been there since youth. Bay Shore has always had some good youth programs look at its pool of talent. Never want to see anyone lose their job but it is time, its time for the Athletic Director and his side kick chair to go.
That said, some families have better resources regardless, but wherever you go, you get out whatever you put in.
Yeah there is a lot going on in Bay Shore, they are at a turning point and I am not sure in the right direction. Confused as to how someone can compare them to Chaminade in either sports or academics. There was a time about 6 to 8 years ago that that could have been possible but the past is just that, the past; whether recent or distant. One thing for certain, the future doesn't look that good. Careful BS, the Superintendent knows a thing or two about the minority demographics, not sure that's the right direction you want to go towards.
and I quote "...demographics shifts have created barriers between parents who do not understand English or the American school system..." are you kidding me. "... Bay Shore has taken "deliberate" steps to break down those barriers...", yes they are breaking down those barriers at the cost of the brighter, dare i say "new" minority (upper/middle class to affluent) students, because as the post above says the minority shift has changed.
Im not Betsy Devos but the Non-Speaking and Special Ed students will be getting the honey out of the pot going forward, scary to me. The IB has how many students, wonder how long that cost will be viable, before it is cut? The superintendent asks to take an active role in your students future, me, looks like i will remain an active participant by moving from the school district.
I wish the issue was a lax coach, our issues are much deeper. Wonder what the voucher system will cover.
So, the real NYS HS championships will start play this week. Who ya got?
I think you're on the wrong thread, there is a boys high school lax page to post on. This one is actually dedicated to a specific HS you just can't stop thinking about.
In 5 years Bay Shore HS will be Amityville HS.

Since it's a Lax thread and your boy is done, thought you might want to follow the exciting upcoming games. But I'm sure you have some hot dogs that need grilling.

Thanks for being so thoughtful... keep the updates coming. MSG varsity can't even spell lacrosse
Regarding GC/Cham -- here are a couple of theories on why they don't play that I have heard of and I am sure there are more - one is that an argument developed when a Cham coaches son did not get much playing time at GC many moons ago and another was that Cham lax camp was sending articles into the local GC newspaper which some felt was a form of recruiting - GC coaches do not hesitate in saying they want to keep all GC players at GCHS with their friends in a top academic school with excellent lacrosse. Some families feel strongly about a Catholic education and all the benefits that Cham provides. Either choice is fine if it is right for your son. I would love for the schools to start playing again but it will not happen with the current coaches in place. It is a missed opportunity to raise a lot of $ for a worthy charity.

Why does Money have a part in this? It a missed opportunity for some top programs to place each other in their backyards. Why turn it into a money grab charity or not.
I never thought of raising money for a charity as a money grab - it is about to trying to help someone out in need and both communities are fortunate enough to do that as are many communities on LI. Now if we are talking Express lacrosse - that's a money grab....
why don't they scrimmage each year?GC scrimmages St.Ants frequently... it would provide an opportunity for kids who chose to attend Chammy to play against hometown kids even if they will not be playing during regular season in many cases. everyone usually gets to play in scrimmage setting since they usually play more than 4 quarters.

It's a scrimmage so really who cares!
you do know that scrimmages are used to help a team improve and prepare for season?
two powerful teams scrimmaging prepares both teams.
two powerful teams scrimmaging prepares both teams.
would care more than seeing GC or Chaminade whip some team by 15-18 goals ....
Scrimmages don't count, ever. They are not a barometer of a teams success. They are used to evaluate players and schemes. The only people who view a scrimmage as a real test are those who have no knowledge of organized sports. I played in tons of scrimmages in multiple both football and lacrosse, not one meant anything. Kind of like a pre season football game in the NFL.

You keep telling yourself that.

And you keep believing they count guy who never played. Ridiculous!
I think that the players play just as hard in scrimmage or game. coaches coach just as hard in either as well.

Again, if you believe that you have never played. But if you want to claim an imaginary victory off of a scrimmage, you would think that.
no one claiming win or loss. its about improving. take it easy. I know difference between game of record and scrimmage. never implied anything else but an opportunity to get on field together..... geez.
Ignore the hostile reply about claiming a win . just a d-bag. he is the one who keeps score of scrimmages.
I guess the holdback formula doesn't garner even honorable mention on all L.I.
may want to reevaluate early commits...

In response to never played. i don't know about original poster , but I did in fact play football, hoops and lax at top school in N.C.
The habits we were taught were to practice as if in a game. to play hard all the time not just while daddy and mommy are watching at game acting like a know it all.
Point t is that scrimmages are important, fun and developmental. in any sport. you think schoolyard basketball isn't competitive? football workouts/scrimmages in beginning of season? how about club lacrosse, it doesn't really matter the score does it? its about improving. so please calm down about keeping score in scrimmages. the post was suggesting a way to get two great programs on the field no one predicted who would "win".
If you cant understand that its sad.

Really? What top school? Let us determine how "Top" your school is. Let us determine your credentials. Here's a hint NC Central is NOT a top school!
maybe N.C. is Nassau county? that would be Chaminade or Garden City.

How does Chaminade freshman class look? I hear that this batch is best ever. Maybe this is the year they give the freshman and sophomores a chance. especially on defense. its about time.

Yes they are. No doubt the best ever. They have requested to play Div 3 lax schedule this spring. Some may skip Chammy altogether and go pro.

You people can't be serious.
why not? Chaminade gets the very best from wherever they play the game.
alumni fund to supplement transportation to more far reaching areas.

The lax players go to Chammy for free.
when does the team store open? I need some lax swag to wear around G.C.
kind of rub in the h.s. people that we chose to send son to Chaminade. he's a stud and tremendously mature for a true freshman. we are very proud he will be attending one of the top school in the country.

None of the top schools in the country are on LI. Furthermore, the top schools on LI are public, according to the rankings, not me. Sounds like you need to pipe it down, you're embarrassing yourself. Walking around GC with Cham gear just shows how ignorant you are paying for an inferior product when you could get better athletics and education for free. You sound like the Emperor with New Clothes.
GC is a town with tremendous income disparity. lots of lovely homes and lots of potential knock downs. to me, it seems as if those in the knock-downs are the ones with the Cham gear trying to run with the 'have's'.
movin' on up. you can have your in-laws move in and take ESL at the high school.
plenty of drinking and drugs flowing thru Rockaway Ave too

Not sure who that may be. The top 3 def, 3 middies and 2 goalies stayed at GC high school. This class has some very tall and talented players, who play on several other top 2021 teams on LI. Will be interesting to see how they fair for there high school career. Having the option of Cham or GC is a good problem to have from an academic view. Both are respected by college admission people. Whether or not they play in college, who cares. Have seen more kids transfer out of college where they wanted to play lacrosse and found out how hard it was and ended at NCC before maturing enough to realize what they wanted from an education. By the way, the parents who walked around like roosters saying how great their son is and playing college lacrosse at some Div 3 school in North Carolina, walk around with heads down and keeping very quiet. Overall, enjoy the ride. It ends so fast. At this stage, colleges don't care what club team you play for. If you are an athlete and a good team player with strong lacrosse fundamentals and IQ, they will find you. Enjoy the Labor Day Holiday

Whether or not they play in college, who cares. Have seen more kids transfer out of college where they wanted to play lacrosse and found out how hard it was and ended at NCC before maturing enough to realize what they wanted from an education. By the way, the parents who walked around like roosters saying how great their son is and playing college lacrosse at some Div 3 school in North Carolina, walk around with heads down and keeping very quiet. Overall, enjoy the ride. It ends so fast. At this stage, colleges don't care what club team you play for. If you are an athlete and a good team player with strong lacrosse fundamentals and IQ, they will find you. Enjoy the Labor Day Holiday
so true

Keep at it "dude who wishes he lived in the village." You are pathetic, those who make the most noise are those who want what others have. You have shown your colors, envy green, now defend yourself by ripping the village and the residents again. Its a sad commentary on you. Go on now we are waiting........

P.S. Fat St. Anthonys Coach is a total zero. Not surprised there would be cheating in the program.

Drove through the other day, dropping off the refuse from my home renovation. Couldn't tell the difference between the dump and the homes, just left it on what appeared to be an empty lot. Homeowner came out, no teeth, no shoes, dirty overalls and very unkempt, turns out he's the mayor.
You clearly weren't driving through Wantagh Lakes then...

No, that's the trailer park on the left, right past Wantagh Woods. Didn't drive past it, smells awful!!
Wantagh Lakes is the nice part of town with the water views of the sump.
Oh, I know where that is now....guy playing banjo on side of road just before you get there, right?
That pretty much confirms it. This site is for A-holes.

Funny how you all put down Wantagh, All your wanna be sons could only hope to gain the accolades of the lacrosse royalty called the Fowlers, who live in Wantagh and attended Chaminade. You may live in a mansion in GC, but your kid will never be a college All-American. You can shut up now! Keep living on the edge of your seats for a Ty Xander shoutout, tools!

Wow, that is the MOST insecure post I have EVER seen on BOTC. What a clown, get a sense of humor loser. You must be a real joy to hang with. Feel sorry for your family
just some mom who would give her left arm to move to G.C. then she would be wearing all the swag and on here bragging about the GC program and lifestyle.
[lacrosse]
Hey Wantagh guy. At least you have a bsement and can look down on all those Levittown folks build on slabs... Yes this site is for A holes and we are all a part of it, some with better senses of humor than others... And I thought you summed up GC nicely.
pretty sure a Chaminade kid who is from G.C. was all American and defensive player of the year on a National championship team .
Terwarten may be residing in GC next spring . Duke attack man is among the favorites.

But it's ok to put down a persons home, town, job and choice of school? I agree that people talk to each other very nasty on here. Lots of things are painful.

Funny how Cham has had two recent National Championship MVP's in the last 5 years.
Fowler and Mueller.
Serious question... would you rather win the tewaaraton or the MOP of the Championship game?

Is that even a question??? The most pestigous agme in all of Lacrosse based on a body of work? Or doing well in one game, which for Fowler he cheated at if you go back and watch all the earlies he wasn't called for. You must be kidding here.

Well, were the words followed by a question mark? Then it was a question.
I guess I couldn't see the answer given the tremendous endorsement money and opportunities in front of all the tewaaraton winner's mailboxes. By the way, most of these guys (tewaaraton and MOP's) have real jobs- they are not cashing endorsement checks for a living.
However, You sou should realize that the Championship MOP likely has both a ring and a plate, while almost half the time(8/17) the tewaaraton winner does not.
So, yes it is a question.....would you want to help win your team win a Championship or do you want the trophy?
Same question for the Heisman winners... (with all their lack of success in the pros)... do you want that trophy or to be MVP of the championship game?

Everyone who has ever won a team championship, that is EVERYONE, says the individual awards do not matter. So the MOP needs to be the choice assuming the MOP isn't from the losing team.

Well who have you talked to? Every pro athlete ever interviewed says Championship over personal awards in every instance. So unless your talking to a bunch of NCAA lacrosse champions and Teewaarton award winners you're statement holds no value!

I think you mean MVP. On the other hand you can use your MOP to dust off the biggest prize in Lacrosse.....The Tewaaraton, the MVP of all lacrosse which is based on a body of work, not one game.

You don't think that most Tewaaraton winners would trade their award for a championship trophy? The team win is far, far more meaningful and memorable than an individual post-season honor.

No, I quite clearly mean what I EXACTLY what I said... MOP - Most Outstanding Player!
(Pronounced: Emm - Oh - Pee)
Please, don't tell me what you think I mean. You must have a problem with comprehension (or reading).
You can just have someone wikipedia or google it for you.
Here is the list of MOP's and the Tewaaraton's for the last few years (from wikipedia):
2017 MOP Tim Muller, MD - NCAA Champion 2017 Matt Rambo, won the Tewaaraton
2016 MOP Chris Cloutier, UNC - NCAA Champion 2016 Dylan Molloy won the Tewaaraton
2015 MOP Wesley Berg, Denver - NCAA Champion 2015 Lyle Thompson won the Tewaaraton
2014 MOP Jordan Wolf, Duke - NCAA Champion 2014 Thompson Bros won the Tewaaraton
2013 MOP Brendan Fowler, Duke - NCAA Champion 2013 Rob Pannell won the Tewaaraton
2012 MOP Eric Lusby, Loyola - NCAA Champion 2012 Peter Baum won the Tewaaraton
2011 MOP Colin Briggs, Virginia - NCAA Champion 2011 Steele Stanwick won the Tewaaraton
2010 MOP Scott Rodgers, ND (Lost in Final) 2010 Ned Crotty,Duke won the Tewaaraton
So, again as also stated by another poster - most people would rather win the ring for their team (a National Championship) over an individual award. Only three of the last eight Tewaaraton winners are actually NCAA Champions, while 7/8 MOP's are champs. The exception is ND's Scott Rodgers, who stood on his head in a losing performance in the championship game against Duke.
If you need further clarity you can ask Molloy, the Thompsons, Pannell and Baum if they would trade.
What are the great endorsement deals for Baum and Molloy, who, by the way went to great schools and could likely have very good jobs?

you've probably never talked to a champion or a runner up for that matter.
Here's to the MOP! And just for fun send Scotty Rodgers a tweet and ask him if he would trade the MOP trophy for the NCAA win.
And Pannell is very active on line too. Why speculate, just ask if he would trade.

her quote is sadly not sarcasm. it's cluelessness. that mom doesn't know the sport.
she just wants little johnny to get all the attention.
she has no idea of the team aspect of the game and for sure, she has no idea about its rich heritage.
she wouldn't be able to recognize a champion even if they were personally introduced - because she'd be so busy blabbering how her little johnny is the best and deserves a bigger trophy.

Keep on your tangent, No Tewaaraton, the ultimate prize for Cham!! That's the bottom line, deal with it.
they have a ACC freshman who will win one in next few years.

It is my guess that the 13 Flyer alums/ national champions, since 2010, sleep just fine with their championship rings and not caring about you being all about individual accolades.

How could they go wrong. They have more D1 commits than a D1 school. Think about it they have over 12 D1 commits in this 2018 class. More than moat D1 classes have in their 2018 class

You are clueless. How many commits does a college program take in a given recruiting class? So if you look at the current 2018 team at Chaminade they have kids going to Army, Duke, Denver, Princeton, Navy, Notre Dame, UNC,Holy Cross, and Yale. With over 20 announced commits and more coming.

They will dominate the coming years.
How many of them will play, or are they there because they pay their own way and raise gpa of team.

Are you asking, how many committed players are being picked up to bring up GPA at the D1 programs they are committed to? I would say 5 to 6 but they are committed to great programs. Even with 5 to 6 as academic add-ons that still leaves over 15 solid D1 players at Chaminade this season.
You can also say how many players from any given D1 recruiting class to any particular school are academic boosters, if there are 2 to 3 then a D1 team only brings in 15 really potential players and of those 15, 5 or 6 may see some time.
We hear that every year, maybe Chaminade should shut up , until they go a whole season not losing to a public school.
Please tell me what 2018 college senior from Chaminade that will be an impact D1 player this year?

Curious how are facts dense. Example of a conversation at your home, "dad I don't agree", "son you're dense".
They should be real.good this year, but is this the last year they have a chance against the Friars. Unless of course the Friars trip themselves up again.
I will say, I love that Ward Melville plays both Friars and Flyers this year. Those games will try to help parellel, or settle the rest of LI lacrosse.

Any insight on how Chaminade 9th grade tryouts works? Do they pick the best talent or is it who’s parents donates the most $$$?
Don't be stupid!

Doesn't that mean they "donated a lot" ? I mean giving to Chan is like giving to the collection basket on Sunday, right? And you just keep giving and giving!

Yeah, but my older son got to play a few minutes each game.
The best players play regardless where you played club. And the ones that don't play say the express kids play as an excuse. It just so happens the express and 91 kids are the better players. This year the starters are about 50/50 Express and 91.

Hey, hey, calm down there Sparky, you know that is not true.
But with the new Manhattan Coaching staff there for the last 2 years understanding that they can recruit smart LI kids who want to stay close to home and play a lot, expect that program to improve.
And we also know the truth that the best don't all play at Chaminade.
ok Tex....got it.

People that disparage teams and players at any NCAA level really need to pipe down - the absolute weakest mens player in the NCAA lacrosse ranks is still in the top 12.6% of all players in the US! smh

Come on now, I get it was a dig at the prior post of a player not starting at Chammy that maybe should have, I get it, but really.
Sure no one wants to be on a basement dweller, but no not even the cheating 15 year old 8th graders couldn't start at MC. But you never know, he just might want to look their direction in a few years.
And to reference, now that my kids are older, I am looking at which kids get good jobs and which schools facilitate that. (And which kids/schools didn't).
you get out of it what you put in!

So they tryout and have cuts. They post the depth chart during the process so kids know if they are above or below the line before the final cut. Don't worry who is coaching .

... or can be used to falsely assuage fears of bias even when there is some!
why don't you ask the school or coaches?
could someone please tell the parents of the kids who aren't Chaminade lacrosse material that they have plenty of other sports? its not fair that the better players have to share coaches time at practice and in blowout games

Be careful, when your superstar gets to college it is more likely than not that he too will be competing for a little of the Coaches attention, and a minute or two of playing time at the end of a blowout loss...
her superstar at Chammy will be prepared for the next level.
Anyone know what public schools are on Chaminades schedule? I know Ward Melville and of course Manhasset

You say Most, I doubt you know much about publics (at least on LI) because as one other post in the HS thread states; "...only about 30% of Nassau teams are good... 40% of Suffolk are good..." so no they would most definitely NOT lose to most teams

Agreed. They will be fine, but very overrated. Last year Cham was stacked w talent, and still managed to underachieve
All the early developers and reclass kids peak while other kids are catching up and move past. That’s what happens to Chaminade.

Not really... Chaminade has such deep talent pool that "early peakers" draw all the playing time Freshman and JV year from the future Varsity starters...

True! Just wait till the St. A Sophs get there shot at them! Going to be a beat down!
The St. A sophs in college you mean

From a Nassau public and not a fan of St. A's where they pray in a 3-point stance in front of the lacrosse sticks cross, but their class of '20 is STACKED and will certainly be #1 on LI that year which usually puts you in the top 5 nationally...
Only potential derailment will be failing out, some sort of scandal or mass reclassing--all of which are in the realm of possibility, but not rooting for that to happen.

WOW, bringing in religion.....a new low, even for BOTC.
Is it true the JV team pulled up 5 freshman? I thought Chaminade didn't do that. With 50 kids on the JV team, was this really necessary?

From a Nassau public and not a fan of St. A's where they pray in a 3-point stance in front of the lacrosse sticks cross, but their class of '20 is STACKED and will certainly be #1 on LI that year which usually puts you in the top 5 nationally...
Only potential derailment will be failing out, some sort of scandal or mass reclassing--all of which are in the realm of possibility, but not rooting for that to happen.

Thanks for staying in Nassau public and far away from the school.

What, did you really just write that. You know you have some severe holdbacks also right.
And reading some talk about SA 2020. I think the best team the island has seen will be next years SA team, aided with many of the 2020's.
So gross. This is exactly what they have always sanctimoniously said they wouldn't do. Chaminade just jumped the shark.

What about the 2021 that should be 2019, or the Texas holdback squater? Can’t make this stuff up!!
Cant blame the HS, that makes no sense. This reclassimg takes place at the club level, long before HS. Funny, there is such a lack of sportsmanship that I notice more and more and it's starts young, not just holdbacks and reclassing, but I see winning margins of 15+ goals and hotdogging and starters staying in so much more than years back. Is what is. No amount blaming or complaining will cure it.
People will blame Chaminade for bringing up 5 freshmen to play JV. That is garbage and will only cause problems for the kids, coaches and administration. Way to go!
Wow did any of them play for express, lol
Wow! That’s pretty sad. It’s a shame Chaminade is conforming to the other Catholic schools when they don’t even really need to. They use to be held to a higher standard. Youth sports has really changed for the worse

Including the FOGO?
Well, one really isn't a sophomore. Plays all his sports on Varsity anyway so kinda confused on why the holdback happened to begin with.
Holdback/reclass. He should be on Varsity (but he should also be a senior). My son would look like a superstar playing against kids almost two years younger than him. Most kids would.
About the hold back situation- we'll see less
since early recruiting rule changes in Lax;
the hold back was designed to allow a blue chip 6'7" basketball player time to grow that last 3" , NOT the 5'10 180lb HS Fresh LAX player to dominate for 2 years, with the hopes of duping the College lax coach into early commit -
The last 2 years proved "hold backs", early lax commits players do not continue to develop into impact players in college.

I think everyone would be surprised to see many of the DOB's of many players on these teams. yeah sure they are good at sports and good in the classroom, they are older a year or so more mature then the usual student on their classes.
Ok Mom guess you have the data base with the student birthdates and can share

From the silence I am quessing Chaminade did not do good
If you are referring to the JV scrimmage Chaminade won the first against Westfield 6-1 and was beating Syosset 8-1 at the half and it was 9-4 when I left in the middle of the second half...Westfield and Syosset tried at 3-3...

Is that last statement fact based or your assumptions? How did the holdbacks do as compared to non holdbacks? Please show your data to prove what you are writing or at least state that this is your opinion and in no way can it be verified. Thanks

draw your own conclusions....
you can agree - or agree to disagree.
not a problem- but why should anyone do spoon feed you.
the statement is perfectly reasonable and not outlandish. if you want to PROVE it is some how wrong, then you provide the the counter facts.
No it is not the responsibility of the reader to verify your statement. If you can’t backvit up don’t write it. It’s nit even remotely reasonable. You wrote it as if you KNEW the information. Now we all see it was a guess on your part. Why don’t you PROVE your statement? What a loser
Did Cham scrimmage Locust Valley yesterday? Curious how LV looked.
It was cancelled
Locust valley was by far the better team .
They have many D1 can’t miss players on the team.
Chaminade looked beaten the whole day
LV is pretty close to a lock for state championship.
They dominated in every phase of the game.

I second the original post... judging from the tone of your response - truth is too close to home...
sorry, Early recruiting is done. UNC, Hopkins (greatest offenders) had missed on too many reclassified and early bloomers... FACT.
...and we ALL Dont have to think too hard for first hand examples, of where reclassified diminished returns, from coaches and player perspectives.

This is true. Was also wondering......are there actually any Cham boys in college making an impact on their team besides Fowler? Seems like mostly LI public school boys are game changers in college this year.
Lv definitely has the nicer field and campus. Beautiful. The girls are much hotter there too... LV wins.
Connor Carey is probably AA this year in D3

No it doesn’t hit close to home, my son is a Junior in a public school. I don’t know a single hold back. What I’m taking from this is that your sons are less than average players. Your excuse for their lack of ability is to claim “holdback” at every turn. That’s what I take from your tone! It’s true isn’t it?

Nah... actually opposite... my point is, generally speaking, there is NO long term advantage for "Hold back/reclassified" players anymore.
Early recruiting is finished...
the extra year of physical development is neutralized by the time the player is on HS Varsity, and College level

Yes, lots of Chaminade players have made, and, are making impactful contributions to their teams. But, what does that have to do with reclassified players?

HAHA! So, you are comparing 1 HS's (Chaminade) volume of impact players vs the entire combined LI public HS player pool?? ...you set a high bar!!
BTW - How many LI HS do you know that claims (5/6) class 2017 players, starting on D1 Programs as Freshman??

Who are making big contributions this year?
Well, if that is the case and there are that many Freshman Chaminade grads starting at D1 programs then clearly there chemistry and or coaching problems at Chaminade.

I'm not sure what scrimmage you were at, but it could not have been the one between Chaminade and Locust Valley on Tuesday. If they kept score it was approximately Chaminade 24, Locust Valley 3. Why all the hate? Locust Valley is a quality squad for the size school they are, but not in the same league as the big boys. With the numbers they have, it would be very difficult. They have a couple players that bounced out of SA (didn't know that was possible), that are two of their better players.

All the players who are attending or attended Chaminade were not developed by Chaminade. Chaminade has the luxury of having players attend from all over Long Island. The best players who also have strong academics that have been the best players early on in the lacrosse community. Unlike public schools who rely on the pool of players within their community. Look at the luxury they have. Who else has that luxury. How many good to great players attend chaminade and never play. I would consider it a failure if they are not the best program in the country every year. What other school has the pool of players that Chaminade has. Some may say St. Anthony's but I think that the academic rigors that Chaminade has differentiates it. It takes a very committed student athlete to attend and also the all boy aspect.

First to say Chaminade is NOT for everyone... The successful Chaminade student must have courage to weigh the potential athletic frustrations, with the opportunity for strong academics and religious education.
The top Chaminade lacrosse player's profile defines (college) "top program" differently than D1 NCAA top 20 polls... Cham player views Prestigious Academic Institutions as "top programs ...

Wow - you clearly missed the sarcasm literally dripping from this post - that is clear by your attempt to respond and rebut it versus the volumes of other BOTC readers who saw it, understood it, yet knowing such, scrolled on by for days with no comment . . .

I second the original post... judging from the tone of your response - truth is too close to home...
sorry, Early recruiting is done. UNC, Hopkins (greatest offenders) had missed on too many reclassified and early bloomers... FACT.
...and we ALL Dont have to think too hard for first hand examples, of where reclassified diminished returns, from coaches and player perspectives.
This is true. Was also wondering......are there actually any Cham boys in college making an impact on their team besides Fowler? Seems like mostly LI public school boys are game changers in college this year.
HAHA! So, you are comparing 1 HS's (Chaminade) volume of impact players vs the entire combined LI public HS player pool?? ...you set a high bar!!
BTW - How many LI HS do you know that claims (5/6) class 2017 players, starting on D1 Programs as Freshman??
All the players who are attending or attended Chaminade were not developed by Chaminade. Chaminade has the luxury of having players attend from all over Long Island. The best players who also have strong academics that have been the best players early on in the lacrosse community. Unlike public schools who rely on the pool of players within their community. Look at the luxury they have. Who else has that luxury. How many good to great players attend chaminade and never play. I would consider it a failure if they are not the best program in the country every year. What other school has the pool of players that Chaminade has. Some may say St. Anthony's but I think that the academic rigors that Chaminade has differentiates it. It takes a very committed student athlete to attend and also the all boy aspect.
Umm, Calvert Hall and IMG come to mind.
I think the point he is making is that Chaminade can draw from a quality pool of all local players; Calvert Hall can also do the same, but IMG cannot.
Another point to make about the quality of the Chaminade Athlete, Of the 8 teams in the 2017 lacrosse quarter finals Chaminade Grads were one of the captains on 6 of the teams. That says it all. Very happy my son made the decision to attend Chaminade.

First to say Chaminade is NOT for everyone... The successful Chaminade student must have courage to weigh the potential athletic frustrations, with the opportunity for strong academics and religious education.
The top Chaminade lacrosse player's profile defines (college) "top program" differently than D1 NCAA top 20 polls... Cham player views Prestigious Academic Institutions as "top programs ...

CHS is one that comes to mind, and the one kid from there is tearing it up at Virginia! Which Cham freshman have done anything?
Ahhh... just did. If you are that interested, it's not too hard to figure out...
...not about to start dragging in names, when the kids don't even know this is a topic of discussion...
BTW- good for that CSH kid... he is a heck of a player and having a great year!

Why would you be worried about naming names of kids who are excelling, unless there are none? Nobody asked you to tell about the kids who pooped the bed. Enough about this elitist Chaminade crap. There are a ton of public school kids excelling at top 20s. I’m still waiting for the answer to the question about how many Chaminade grads are excelling at D1 Lacrosse in college this year besides Fowler??

Long Island is the major hot bed for lacrosse. Chaminade is not a 40 plus thousand a year school so it is affordable. Chaminade is perfectly positioned to draw from the best schools on Long island. Think about it they draw from the historically strong programs like Manhasset and Garden City but will also draw from some of the stronger Suffolk County programs as well. You also will get thr exceptional athlrtr from non hotbeds to attendalso.

On the flip side the public school kids have been playing together since second grade and with the better programs have been taught the same system that the HS runs, you would think that should count for something when putting a team on the field.
How come there aren’t any Chaminade stand outs in college this year?? You would think they would be more stat leaders with all the hype. Sounds like a lot of Smoke and mirrors to me.

Ok, I’ll bite.
ever see Mueller’s name on top off points total leader?? You Probably, never heard of him until he won 2017 D1 NCAA Defensive player of the year...
...at least 5 graduated 2017 seniors starters at Freshman - no hype

Baloney! The clubs are developing the players. Ward Melville doesn't win the state last year without the contribution from the Express developed players.
Chaminade 11-6 over McDonogh
Huge win for the program. Should put them in the top 5 for multiple polls since McDonogh was top 5 in all 3 major ones

Down year for McDonogh not as many good PGs there this year. Last year was different. Basically there are multiple teams from LI that could have also had same result. Ex. WM, SW, SA and sorry something I am sure you know but just don't say. Lacrosse still great on LI.

Don't get ahead of yourself. McDonogh is not that good. As mentioned here before, Preseason Rankings are not that accurate.
I think Chaminade won't lose a game this year. They are that good. Before you comment, name a weakness they have.

It's is only just the beginning.
Chaminade will also be good next year they have a good group of 2020s.
It's is only just the beginning.

I don’t know if Chaminade will win the next couple years. Classes of 2019 and 2020 both stacked at SA.
Look at Theo top D1 2017 players public baby

They should do undefeated... last year, the only thing they Lacked was Chemistry.
Competition is way down - Manhasset, St Ingnatious, McDonogh, WM, All graduated their horses...
Get your championship this year Flyers, the drought begins next year...
Chaminade is handed a D1 team each year, they are not producing D1 athletes. Each year they fall short of winning championship because of coaching.
Coaches stink, have same plays, game after game. Dont know how to rotate in kids.
A good coach can see quality in kids that have not been picked out already by Duke, Notre Dame, Army.
As stated above, competition is very weak this year, Chaminade will win because of this, not because of coaching.

Puzzled with coaching for St. Anthonys as well. Very good talent and deep with the few sophs up. But the coaches have this ridiculous system now where all middies play 2way. Really a head scratcher with the talent and size of the roster. Kids are gassed and it showed as they collapsed in the 2nd half vs Yorktown. Yorktown sliced them with cutters as gassed ball watchers, with no understanding of slides led to most of the goals from 3 yards or less? No energy to clear and the offense disappeared as a result.

This is true. And why are kids getting pulled up from any grade? Chaminade is embarrassing themselves with this. Very disappointed in the coaching. Keep the same kids in over and over, when there are just as talented kids or better not getting time. Coaching favors kids because of who the family is.

McDonogh doesnt do PG. They have holdbacks/reclassed and many that will held back in Kindergarten.
McDonogh just lost to Culver by 1. Chaminade is that good.

St. A''s has a handful of underclassmen up. They didn't need that many.
I heard of one of the freshman that they moved up to JV. Not sure about the other.

So they move 2 sophs to varsity. I guess the reclass, MD, MA kids who are older during the summer tourneys isn't an excuse anymore. LI has to be consistent. Cant complain about playing older kidsnow.

Moved the 10th grade face-off kid up along with another 10th grade middle who played JV last year (older). Two freshman are getting playing time. Starter on attack and one on 2nd middle line.

This year, St A's should have moved more Soph Middies up. Freshman should have been on JV. What St A's needs is to do now is drug test the players. Strike while the iron is hot. You thought the parents telling on a 5th year kid last year was bad. Just wait for those results.
Alumni get involved help these kids, coaches and administration isn't helping. 2 years 2 black marks on the program.

Is this detailing Chaminade or St. Anthony's. I read this as 2 Sophs and 2 Freshman on the Flyers Vasity this year. Think St A's has more than 2 sophs. Funny how some think it could be either school. The Chaminade Soph middie had to play JV last year, was to old to play Freshman the whole sportman like concept.

The only one who has to be tested is you because of your stupidity.
St. Anthony's handled easily by DelBarton today. Most (not all) underclassmen that are up shouldn't be. It's like they are up to make sure they don't back to their home HS.the next two years will be good, this year is a thow away to get underclassmen ready.

St As was not handled easily. It was 10-9 in the 4th quarter. The sophs and one frosh played great. No one is going back. The sophomore class is outstanding including those still on the JV team which beat Delbarton JV today.

Don't count out the 2020 class at Chaminade. It is going to be great games against St Anthonys the next two years. Chaminade has some great 2020 players. Don't count them out.

The only underclass players on Chaminade varsity are the older soph middle who played last year on JV and the middle/faceoff soph who they moved up. All the rest of the 2020s stayed down on JV.

St As was not handled easily. It was 10-9 in the 4th quarter. The sophs and one frosh played great. No one is going back. The sophomore class is outstanding including those still on the JV team which beat Delbarton JV today.
Game was never in doubt. Inexperienced team, vs Yorktown ouldn't clear, forced the crease, and every goal was 3 yards away. It's a rebuild year for the next two, never seen that at St. A's.

The new building is ugly.
Also it blocks view of field so it’s difficult to watch freshman practice from Jericho Tpke.

Are you saying that the St A 2020 fogo can beat the Chaminade 2019 fogo 50% of the time? There is NO WAY that is happening. Beating the Chaminade 2020 fogo 50% of the time is highly unlikely also.

Yup, already saw him struggle this year. Overrated. Good but not elite. You’ll see!

Chaminade has excellent goalie, defense, LSM, middies and attack. Why on earth is an adult on here taking pot shots at 15 year olds? Just be quiet and watch the game on 4/25 when Chaminade and St. Anthony's JV teams play each other. It will be what it will be. And to the stunad who made the "we have two good 2020 defenseman" at Chaminade, you win the trophy for the biggest zero and coward of all........and you know exactly what I mean. Shame on all you losers!

No one is taking pot shots at 15 year olds. Where was the pot shot? "Not sure the studs... match up..." (Match up meaning play, line up across from, compete) against each other.
Both Chaminade and St Anthony's teams have good players; but going to these schools they will always be compared to one another. The JV game between the two schools used to mean something, but that ship has sailed. The JV game you talk about, that game does not give any indication of the two school's sophomore years like it used to. Like last year, St Anthony's brings up many of their players to varsity. All of those players who were moved up, even half of them, would have changed the outcome of the JV games.
So please do not tell me 4/25 we will see. You will see what you want.
Chaminade JV will not lose a game this year. They have talent at ALL positions especially defense (goalie, LSM and all 3 defenseman).
Chaminade definitely has the edge for the 2020 year.
The attack is very strong, SA won't have an easy time stopping those boys. Between the freshman line and now, they have improved drastically. With the addition of a freshman onto their JV roster they're only getting better as time goes on.
The middies at Chaminade are probably the closest competition but then again they have lots of middies who could compete with the SA starting line. A lot of them are from teams such as Igloo, Terps, etc. so lack of skill doesn't seem to be an issue. With the discipline the coaches are putting these boys through along with their numbers Chaminade may be able to get the edge in the middie position.
LSMs at Chaminade have the edge no doubt. SA has a definite stud LSM but Chaminade also has a very talented Igloo player who should be able to give SA a run for their money. They also seem to have other kids who can run as backup and keep up relatively well.
Defense at Chaminade is very underrated for 2020s. To say that there are 2 good 2020 defensemen would be ridiculous. The 2020 freshman team clearly had a slacker in their starting line but they seem to have improved to sophomore year. The starting line has 2 Terps defensemen along with another defender who excels in skill without question. Although there seems to be a falling off past that line, their backups should be able to keep up.
The fogo situation at Chaminade seems to be a little iffy at the moment. Without their main fogo, Chaminade seems to be in a rough state but his backup has had very impressive numbers as far as this season on JV. It'll be interesting to see how he can preform against his SA competition.
The goalie is no contest in the slightest. Chaminade's 2020 goalie has consistently been able to impress everyone and is clearly an elite player. No issues there.

You mean like struggling against a Middlebury commit?
I love the boldface introduction
You take yourself way too seriously.
Doing such a detailed review is so weird.
It’s all opinion and you write as if you run some sort of NFL draft camp. Who cares?

So please do not tell me 4/25 we will see. You will see what you want.
"match up" is more commonly used to evaluate talent on one team, by player, versus another if and when they would play. IE, used as a figurative term as opposed to the literal.
Wave one UA out! Looks like Chaminade daddyball sons nowhere to be seenđź«
The defensive middies at chaminade are most likely why chaminade has a major edge on the SA 2020 boys. There are no other d middies quite like them, and you can’t find anyone like them in the country.
Who are these stud d mids please tell
I’m sure Daddy d middies will fill us in.
I am sure that the mommy or daddy has no clue about the role of a defensive middie.
I’m sure the daddy of d middies is well versed in the role.

The initial post about d middies was a joke obviously. At least I hope it was a joke.
How did the Massapequa game go? There was an all-star match up at FO.
Really? Then he should also know that it’s not a pervasive function at the high school level. At high school level the kids play two way unless the coaching is sophisticated in the same sense as college game. To imply that 2020 kids are specialized to that extent may be a reach.
chaminade over pequa 8-5

Chaminade is over rated. Good players, no chemistry and lack of hustle. They got outplayed today. I took my son to the game and was not impressed. They will continue to struggle against good competiton. Nice Wake-up call for the coaches.

Of course its the coaching. LOL. With the amount of cant miss super stars on that team how in the world could they lose to a town program. I guess they are not as good as their dads think they are. LOL. Good for Ward Melville. Chaminade needs to realize if the super stars cant play together they cant win. Especially when there is selfish play by certain players.

Not to be a [ChillLaxin] but WM is not exactly a typical town program considering the number of state titles they have won and their continued success year after year.
Ward Melville does it the right way. They don’t play club lax, which is a total waste. They play together from a young age, then HS comes and they roll. Live and learn to all you daddy’s paying club lax and wasting your money. Enjoy those T shirts and the WSYL. Hahaha

Wrong Coach. The kids that are the biggest guns on WM did play club. SO PLEASE a lot of great lacrosse players because of club.

Wrong. Many of the stud seniors play on LI Express. Try again.

Not true. Many WM players play club and the majority of boys who played in the Chaminade game play club. Goalie, FOGO, 4 of the 6 midfielders, 2 of 3 attack 3 of 4 D / LSM.
When they get to HS their coaches like for the boys to play together in the summer. I do not believe it is mandatory and I have not heard of any backlash if a player chooses to only play club.
Obviously they have a very successful program and their coaches know what they are doing. Lacrosse community on the island is very small especially when talking about the stronger club teams. Everybody knows who the players are, the clubs they play for and the HS they attend.
Why make up BS?

And the coach is an express coach I believe.

Not sure where you got your info from. 3/4 of that team, most of which are starters belong to club teams. Also, a majority of those starting players did not play town ball at all because of the rule that you could not play both town and club. Maybe 30 years ago your statement rang true but now the majority of the highly skilled players all play club.
WM.always at the pinnacle of LI teams.
As good as the Cham kids are, the team aspect seems lost - same as last year.
I think they believe their own press. Also many of the same kids with poor attitude from the football squad from a few years ago. Entitled pampered

Yes I agree Chaminade did not look like tight group and after a first half like that adjustments by coaching staff should have been made. Defense looked stiff and nonathletic at times and attacks ride was slow. WM is a better team this year and has better coaching. I am sure Coach CoachMor was not happy. I think they should play more games against Suffolk A then traveling out of state.
IMO, the problem at Chaminade(St. As too) is a lot of those kids have been anointed as the chosen ones very early, even before HS by their coach and Ch**ny! So why they get to HS and to tell mommy and daddy that they are no longer the best on the team would lead to their heads on a platter! It’s a shame because there is A boat load of talent on that bench!
what happened with football?

Same goes for St Anthony's, but go ahead plan a trip to Carolina next year. Hope those out of state games validates your self proclamations. Love to see them play top 5 or 6 LI teams.

Be careful what you wish for, St A’s is going to be good next year.
So let's talk about this particular article in Lacrosse Insider. It was covering the Ward Melville vs Chaminade game which we all already know.The title of the article :
This is one of the most incredible HS goals we have ever seen. I was hooked by the title right away. I wanted more had to click on it.
What's amazing about the article is the player who threw the inbounds pass. Remember the inbounds pass lol. Gets more ink and detailed write up than the player that actually scored the goal. This is the article below. After reading something just doesn't seem right here.
"The play; with Chaminade having possession of the ball with 5.9 seconds left in the half, trailing Ward Melville 7-4, Chaminade coach Jack CoachMor called for timeout.
The Flyers' (players name) who is headed to Yale after decommitting from John's Hopkins and who wears the prestigious No.19 this season, cleanly fed the inbounds pass to (players name)with about two seconds to go.
"(Players name) knowing he didn't have time to set and shoot, fired a spectacular over the shoulder behind the back shot that got past WM goalie with no time left on the clock.
Just think about it the player who scored the so called, "One of the most incredible HS goals we've seen "just gets a brief mention. Yet the kid who threw the inbounds pass gets all the ink. His number, school he decommitted from and where he's going.
Daddy making sure he gets recognition any way he can.

Tell your HS. St. Anthonys several open days and flexibility on the schedule. Say what you want about the program, but if any HS on LI calls they'll play them. It's not up to then to prove anything especially since no other team on LI would go near Darien, Niscayuna, Staples, DeBarton or Yorktown in the same year. Friars do, no mater if it's an up or down year.

The catholics have a lot of flexibility to play teams from NY, CT, NJ, PA. The LI publics are restricted by sec 11-Suffolk and sec 8-Nassau as to the number of games they can play and have virtually no flexibility (typically 2 games outside the section). So, can we stop with the requests for games/matchups that should happen and that some schools are "ducking" games. Please get informed.

Exactly so when there are easily 5 teams from Suffolk A, 5 Teams from Suffolk B/C and 5 teams from Nassua that can be chosen. There are a lot of choices. The LI school will is up 1 NL to play one of the two. Don't see the issue you are referring to.
Splitting hairs for Chaminade, they could throw in another Suffolk team. Already plays w Nassua teams in Manhassett and Massapequa.
St. Anthony's no reason not to play Ward Melville in season and another Suffolk like Hills East (not as close as West but a relative home.gamenfor.either schoool). Next year would be great to see Smithtown West take on the friars. Take Syosett and Manhassett off the schedule. Add some fresh LI talent. Not like these coaches don't know who will and won't be the better teams. But go south, go take these boys on an extended trip. Good luck with that, not a gamble I'd take for their futures.

Not a gamble you'd take with their futures? Laughable. All these kids will be in college soon enough and own their own. Worry about your own kid. Sounds like he is the one that needs a chaperone. Or a helicopter daddy.
So St A's should take long time games against some usually strong Nassau teams just to play the Suffolk teams that you think may be good. How did SW do against SE the last few years. So now SW can finally win a game against SE and you want St A's to schedule them. Geez.....please stop your nonsense. The schedules aren't made to make you happy. Maybe you should have your AD approve travel down south to play some different teams and worry about your own team.

Exactly, now you get it! Yes, you are supposed to change your schedule to play the toughest schedule. It's not like you dont know the teams that will be strong or have a down year. You are again right in that the schedules arent to make me happy, but to challenge your team. I dont care if you go out west or south, would be great experiences, just be prepared. Probably best to do that in 2020.
I also feel you should plan for tougher LI teams. Maybe at least get 3 on the schedule, and 3 CT, 1 upstate, 1 Westchester, 1 NJ, 5 catholics. Leaves room for 2 out of region games.
You do a great job setting up a challenging schedule, but everything can always be improved.

Sounds like you want the AD job. But again, worry about your team......its less stressful.
LI publics, I am confused. Massapequa can play 5 out of conference games. How is it, that they came play 5 OOC games, but you are talking only two are allowed?

LI cath, yes you are confused. The quandary is hopefully you chose parochial for the very structured force feed education that some students benefit from and you should be commended for that. However getting caught up in the over hyped Lax world is a miscalculation on your part.
Nassau(8) allows 5 OC games, Suffolk (11)just 2.

The question was about Massapequa and other section 8 programs. You did not answer the question. Instead you came across as offering a backhanded compliment/insult. Why? The question was not worthy of a pot shot.
The answer to the original poster's question is that Sec. 8 permits 5 OOC games while Sec 11 permits 2.
To the responder .....Don't minimize this possibility... Maybe they chose parochial (assume you mean Chaminade / St. Ants/ or Kellenberg) because they value a faith based education emphasizing the whole person. I assure you that not everyone goes to these schools for lacrosse- and not every lacrosse player is there just for lacrosse either.

Thin skinned Lad you are and the point hopefully not at the top of your head is the # of OOC games in " LI publics " are due to numbers in Nassau & Suffolk A. Simply stating you can even look said numbers up the and do the math.

OK Yoda,
Not thin skinned- just pointing out that you took liberty with a reasonable question (Pequa's ooc games) and somehow made it a pot shot on a completely unrelated topic (parochial schools).
Then I gave the answer.
Then I pointed out a very likely flaw to your misguided cheap shot.
If your answer was simply a matter of innocent but poor reading comprehension skills (yours) then I apologize. However, If as I suspect, you were being a determined jerk, then it was noticed and I took great pleasure in exposing you for the hammerhead that you are.
Now back to real lacrosse talk.

Not thin skinned- just pointing out that you took liberty with a reasonable question (Pequa's ooc games) and somehow made it a pot shot on a completely unrelated topic (parochial schools).
Then I gave the answer.
Then I pointed out a very likely flaw to your misguided cheap shot.
If your answer was simply a matter of innocent but poor reading comprehension skills (yours) then I apologize. However, If as I suspect, you were being a determined jerk, then it was noticed and I took great pleasure in exposing you for the hammerhead that you are.
Now back to real lacrosse talk.
OK terrific jerky

Thank you for this answer. Yes I saw it (by doing the math) and was truly confusidid, just like the new B/C div II in Suffolk. But to the other jerk, okay I get it. I thought i knew a lot about NY lacrosse, but never thought there was an OOC disparity between Nassua and Suffolk.
Is this a conversation for the summer state meetings or is this just a section XI conversation. This has got to change. It is good XI has some sort of ranking component but really, playing the last place teams for the 6-10th placed teams is not good. Those teams should not have to be forced to play the bottom 4 or 5 teams that doesnt help them. 2 or 3 maybe Let them go OOC to get a better challenge.
Make Sect XI great again!!!
No competitive team wants to play. There has got to be a level of sportsmanship and competitive drive. and playing these teams does nothing for ranking it can actually be counterproductive.

Ronan Clooney, an amazing attackman from Chaminade has just committed to Fairfield in the 2019 class. This kid flew under the radar for a long time, but is finally getting the respect he deserves.

He went to Chaminade to commit to Fairfield, a mid level D1!?? Please don’t come on here and brag about that!
Congrats. Fairfield is a great campus, good location good school especially in Finance. Lax team and program is marginal. Hopefully you chose the school for the school and did not go there for Lax. Coach will change over the next four years as well. Good luck.

Boring school and mediocre lacrosse, which is why so many players leave.

I have no idea what your trying to say, I asked a simple question. Just want to find out some info on how competitive St. Dominics lax is. If you can not provide a useful answer, please keep your ridiculous comments to yourself.
SD has good coach who is looking to build program-- after years of sub-par coaching with folks who didn't know d--k....but they will always be restrained due to the fact that they are smaller Catholic HS that has deep problems with enrollment thus causing problems getting players who can lax...only so much success they can have with limited #'s. If your son is a decent player who can hold his own with other "larger" schools talent, then he will be fine with much playing time. If he is middle of road, then he will be fine too because there is no depth and he will play a lot.

Okay, how this - great coach. not much by the way of overall talent. Here and there they have players. 2 years ago they had a good handful of starters. If your going to SD for other than lacrosse great, have at. if you're going for lacrosse think again. Same goes for SJB and SM.
Now if you are really interested in their lax, a good indication would be seeing them play in the fall. Many high school teams play fall tournaments. Find out if they are playing.
Chammy plays in some off season tournaments. SA coaches are too lazy and value their club $$ more so I doubt you will see them out there. It is funny though, most of SA talent is 91 kids maybe they will push to play more off season as a team.
What are Chaminade and St Anthony's out of Conference (out of State) schedule? When does that get announced to the masses. When do the publics schedules get finalized?
Chaminade as always will have one of the toughest schedules. They have the schedule but have not released it yet

If they gave a crap? seems like their program has been pretty darn consistent, consistently great. Politics don't seem to be a problem in fielding a strong team, more like a strength. Remember what you are getting there, they pray in a 3 point or athletic stance...

Interesting comment. How do you account for 6 starters playing for Team 91 as well as 3-4 kids on Legacy? Maybe your kid is just not that good?

The previous statement is not true. CoachC will play who he thinks will give his team the best chance to win. Very simple.
Coach C will play who he thinks deserves it. No matter the club. If youre better youre better and playing. equal club but he will split time. He may prefer his club players but if a player from another club deserves it he will get it. Saying anything else is too easy.
Chaminade should be above it, but unfortunately they are not. Who knows the coaches, went to school with them......Whose older brothers went to the school.......blah blah blah.

So true. Juniors,Seniors ,watch out for Sophmores in this group. Parents have already made the plea. Good luck!

But its minimal at Chaminade......lots of Express players were cut during tryouts. Younger brothers of existing players were cut. Some sons of existing coaching staff was shielded but that's to be expected. Overall, it was a fair as it could be.
"Every year the same BS junior /seniors look out give me a break" SO TRUE, HEAR THIS EVERY YEAR OUT OF CHAMINADE. GREAT CAMARADERIE.
"Politics, politics, politics..." POLITICS SEEM TO BE WORKING JUST FINE AT ST. A'S.
if csh is beating Massapequa in a scrimmage, yes only a scrimmage, it doesn't bode well for the publics vs. the privates this season...

Of the three sophs pulled up only one should be there. There is enough depth that is not necessary for the other two. This team has a lot of chemistry, they proved it by winning in the summer, hopefully it will carry over this season.
Blah blah. Can’t wait for the Friar v Flyer match up these next two years. Hopefully, they both fulfill the expectations

Haven't we heard that before? Still think SA runs away with it, for both years.
The pull up thing is becoming the norm at Chaminade and more so at St Anthony’s is seems. I think some of these kids do go just for lax and the coaches move them up so they don’t leave to play varsity at their district. Just my opinion, no fact.

That statement makes no sense, IMO. First, the player (parents) can decline to be moved up. 2nd, if they move up, most likely less playing time for player than if they stayed with their class. To each their own as to moving up.
One thing is for sure, Chaminade is not moving people for fear of anything. There is enough talent on all three lax teams to worry about a kid leaving over status or playing time. HS is about academics, not lacrosse.

Well, a player rarely turns down the chance to move up. And it's not a comparison to the past, it is the present. Kids are being moved up to keep the parents happy, not all. Again, no fact, just my take. There is more younger kids playing varsity now in the publics than ever. It makes sense that the catholics move the better kids up so they are stuck on a JV a so so team vs playing varsity in their district.
Good win on Saturday

At St. A's when a kid gets "pulled up" he is really just returning to the grade he is supposed to be in anyway...If he is really short or really skinnny he will still be his 2nd time through 9th grade and going forward in most cases.

Players just this year turned down offers to move up.
Sorry, really don't buy your theory.
So the parents go to whom to make this request? The varsity coach? The AD? The administration?
And what do the parents say?
"If you don't move little Johnny up to varsity, we are pulling my son out of Chaminade?"
Very unlikely.
And if the school honored these requests, it would just open a huge can of worms.
What is next? Demands for playing time?
Chaminade does not need PIA parents or their tuition money, or the donations or the headaches.
Fairly sure the response from Chaminade would be "adios".
Look at your St. A's roster and you'll know EXACTLY what I'm talking about. With your group of holdbacks you can say ALL cases as well.

As much as i hate the hold back concept, (in HS), if an underclassmen hold-back plays up, that's where they should be. Now about those kids who should be in college or Prep school Who's guilty at that one.
I know i know, in NY state you cant have your what, 19th birthday before your last game?

There’s one holdback on the St Anthony’s starting line up. It’s high school lacrosse, not 4th grade PAL. Get over it. Why don’t you have your kids take up badminton so you can sleep at night. Unbelievable.

What are we talking about here. I am not aware of any St Anthony seniors that should be in college or Prep school (for PG). However, in Mineola that's a different story now isn't it.

St A's have a soph who is a double hold back. He will turn 20 during his senior year .
Friar guy, pull your head out of the sand. I do know what I'm talking about; lets start with the Commack kid and ESM(?)midfielders Mc...
Great choice parents. Hold your kid back to get that elusive .25 scholarship and then have a dream of making $500 per week in the new MLL...

Any of those kids seniors, or if they were in their right grade would they still be in HS.
if yes, then STFU and save it for a year. Playing appropriate range. In Mineola there are boys that should be in prep school or college, not High School.

Wow, you are so on top of your holdbacks. As mentioned earlier, only one starter is a holdback. . Big deal...if he wasn’t a holdback he would still be playing in the same spot he’s in now. Again, it’s high school lacrosse and he’s playing kids his age and older. I’m sure this kid would run circles around yours. What’s your fascination?
No fascination. My son is doing just fine and I didn't have to game the system for him. All you hold back parents are the same. Just admit you gamed the system. Maybe he needed it maybe he didn't but doesn't change the fact you did it. So stop telling everyone else to STFU or man up. You created an advantage and now you try to dust it under the carpet and tell everyone else to just deal with it. We are and have no choice but please, get off your pedestal.

The two year hold back is especially pathetic. What was more ridiculous was listening to MSG Varsity talk about him with such amazement as being "just a freshman" last year when by rights the freakin kid should be a junior. That said, this BS is all on the parents as the kid can't hold himself back.
Drop the mic!

Please stop singling out kids. There are many many boys who were held back or started school late that we will never know about. September, October, November babies that were held out of kindergarden and have had an advantage because of it. It is the parents who make the decision and they do it because they believe it will help their child. Why the obsession? Kindergarden holdback, re-class, PG.... Why do you care what others choose to do? If I could do it all over again I would have held all of my children back in kindergarden even the girls and I would sen the boys to do a PG year. Smart wealthy families have been doing it for years and it definitely has a positive impact on the child. Growing up in a blue collar community on Long Island I had never heard of a PG but in college I saw all the 19 and 20 year old freshmen (there might have even been a couple of 21 year olds). Definitely give the kid an advantage in all aspects of their life.
PG year is a totally different animal than hold back. I'm all for the PG. Kids were not singled. a little hint on just two so as not to appear i'm pulling this stuff out of thin air. Those not in the know or none the wiser. Also, no problem with anyone doing whats best for their kid-but don't a t like its not an advantage and give others attitude.
Lets stop talking about hold backs. This is High School Lax not Youth Lax.
Let us talk about Lacrosse and the upcoming match ups for the Flyers.
Why does it bother people talking about holdbacks, if there's nothing wrong about it.?

I have heard all the rhetoric about the St A's holdbacks or holdback. One out of fifty kids on the team. Certain Chaminade supporters have gone on and on about this. I have one question. Does Chaminade have any re-classes/holdbacks or kids who started school late?
If they have one, this topic should be over. Before anyone accuses me of supporting holdbacks, let me say this; I wholeheartedly disagree with it and know it gives a kid an unfair advantage over others. My son is a late birthday and has been the youngest kid every time he has step on the field to date. But, I am also realistic and understand this is no longer youth lacrosse and every team, Catholic, public or private has players whose parents have gamed the system and given their kid and unfair advantage. Every team.

Well, I guess that is why they play the games. I'm shocked. I would've lost the ranch if I were a gambling man. I blame the coach. Too much talent there...
Chaminade had all the talent.

Defense looked great. always had a stick in the face of attacking middies and attack. The slides were great. The two juniors ate 34 for lunch. The Goalie is the best in the country.
The team has chemistry.

Wow........bulletin board material. May 15th will be here soon enough.
Chaminade did not have all the talent. Chaminade did however play as a team. That was the difference. You Flyer fans have now posted two things that will surely be used to motivate your opposition in the next game. Thank you.

Yeah because so many kids are on here. they are too busy playing while moms and dads bicker on lax boards.
So true, but it will find its way to them, trust me on that.
How is TS not a UA All American. He has been nothing but dominant whereas others picked do not have nearly the same stats?? Don't get it?
UA will have two sub par fogos going at it. Should be Cham and SW.

From what I remember, GC did send both SW and Pequa fogos home with their tails between their legs. No respect! Where is the transparency in this process?

The GC FOGO is good, no doubt, but the process is the accumulation of the last several years including performance in both high school and club. Obviously since the season is not over, one or two games during their high school career is not the deciding factor. Go to the UA site for the exact methodology. From what I saw during the West game, the SW FOGO is clearly better then the GC FOGO. GC had tremendous help from his wings and did a great job countering but he lost nearly every clamp and his statistical advantage would not hold up if they played again. SW kid is on fire right now. Chaminade playing really well right now too. Massapequa kid, now that he is done with wrestling, will be back where he has always been soon. For the GC fan club, your FOGO is having a great year. He is a very good player, committed to a great school. Leave it at that. Having watched these kids for several years, I still say for the 2019 class, SW, Chammy and Massapequa FOGOs (no particular order) are the top three on LI. GC is close behind. Amazing that four of the top ten 2019s in the country are from LI.
Hopefully in the future, UA will start selecting 4 FOGOs for the game instead of 2. Almost impossible to select the top 2.
Now please lets hear from the Mom who wants love for the freshman and sophomores in public schools who are doing well against committed seniors. How did the MS game go for Islip? How is the tiny, but quick BS kid doing? I am being sarcastic.
Please lets not hear from her.

Ummm...Sorry SW, UA has spoken, and you're not the best despite what your mom thinks. GC beat you fair and square, but yet excuses keep being made. In fact your team lost that game, and F/O were a big factor. In case you don't know, let be explain something to you. Face Off is a three man position, watch a college game, and you will see. The official is Pequa (UA All-American), Cham/GC, SW. Agree they're all great HS players. Lets see what happens in college, where we may never hear from them again!

Hey Guy, I get it. Wing play is important and the SW kid is going to have some pretty good wing play at MD. Additionally, I have no affiliation with West or their FOGO, but I know talent when I see it. It’s just strange that after posting numerous times about how the GC kid smoked the SW and Massapequa kids, making it seem like an individual competition, you now try to tell me FO is a three man position. Thanks for clearing that up coach.

It is just strange that after numerous posts touting the individual achievements of the GC player, you now tell me FO is a three man position. Great, thanks for clearing that up
coach.
[ChillLaxin] that UA is a culmination of "years" . It should be this years best, should have nothing to do with Club lacrosse. Its all political anyway.
None of this matters anymore since Pequa kid was named best on LI. Nobody cares about GC, SW, or Cham, none will be playing in the big game. College is a different animal. Only time will tell who survives
Politics on this team are ridiculous. Up by 12 goals and they put politically hooked up sophomores out there before seniors? Really?

Wrong "bro". That is what JV is for....
The politics on every one of Chammy's lax teams are a disgrace, not just Varsity.

Really? Sure there are some politics, no more than anywhere else. How in the world do you know what is going on at practices or in the weight room?
If you son is not playing, he should ask the coach what he can do better.
It is one of the most difficult programs around to even make the team......much tougher to get playing time.

Two years ago in the D1 quarter finals, there was one captain per team from Chaminade. That says it all.

Top 10 dumbest comment ever on this site! And that is saying a lot.
Not really, While some fine schools on the list, let's not get crazy about St. Joes, Mercer, Jax, Marist, Bryant, U-Mass-Lowell and Cnisius.
Still no comment on the Depth Chart. Do they still hang it to let everyone see where they layout.
The best thing they can do is bring up the Sophs that are better than the seniors. Varsity is for the best players not just ones that have been there. Looks like the big two have finally caught up with the rest. Now I'm not saying there isn't politics, of course there are. There is probably more than any other school, similar at SA. The Chammy house is run a lot better than SA's.

As far as the face off position and UA. If SW kid wasn't a Laxachuetts player and instead was a lets say 91 or Express kid, I am sure things could have been a bit different. Like many have said club scene comes into play. How's the Aussie doing
Give it a rest with the depth chart comments. It was never a fair competition.

Why give it a rest. If the depth chart shows where you stand, and you see your not where you think you should be, then you have to work that much harder to not make it a competition.
No one ever thinks things are fair, and by the way things are never fair.

St. Anthony's -2 over Chaminade. 10-8 (prediction). Just a prediction; I'll admit it was a bad prediction and I was wrong if the situation warrants-not trying to start an online, anonymous brawl.

You know what is easy? Answer: coaching varsity lacrosse at Chaminade. They watched film for the first time all year yesterday.
My prediction was wrong. Friar's did not cover, only won by one goal. Got the direction right anyway. Where is the guy touting how Chaminade D stymied the Big Lefty? 10 points... Last laugh.

If thats how you saw it. What I saw was like I said earlier Chamindade has the best middie and Saint Anthony's has the best attack. Yes, the Chaminade goalie would have been MVP had they won. But noone can cover the middie. The pass and BTB was incredible, not sure what anyone was thinking but incredible none the less. And the other BTB, oh my from the stands amazing from the video how didnt the goalie expect that.
game should have been 12-5 plenty of pipes but that led to a great game.
I will note how many times do coaches really forget about their timeouts
Chaminade JV with a great win over St Anthony's to win the Championship this year...hopefully they can continue the winning next year into Varsity!

Real nice comment about CoachC. You are a clown. Chaminade has ZERO chance of beating SA next year. ZERO.
Chaminade are you looking forward to 2021?
Very nice job by Chaminade at NHSLS. Beat some quality teams (Culver, McDonagh, Lincoln Sudbury, St. Stephens/ St. Agnes) before falling to Deerfield and their many PG players in finals. Great work!

Pretty much better than every team on LI except one, and they went 1-1 against them. They stroked the NYS champions in class A.

Probably because Chaminade doesn't want to get embarrassed by St A's.

The Flyers should be more than fine. They are a PRIVATE school with 300+ boys in each class. They should "stroke, smoke or beat" EVERY public school they play. They attract/passively recruit the best talent on LI. When they don't beat every public school it should be seen as a failure, lack of heart, coaching or effort and they should be EMBARRASSED-and it usually happens at least once a season. Christ, Manhasset a conference III public school with defined student population boundary and changing population demographic upends them every few years. Chest pounding Chaminade dads, please go away and save your bragging for when you beat St. A's and Delbarton in season-that is your comparable.

Yes and no. Sure deeper pool of male athletes so that is an advantage. Chaminade lacrosse attracts talent because its a powerhouse, advantage.
Chaminade does not accept transfer students which is a disadvantage to other privates. Chaminade costs $12,000 a year, disadvantage because it limits the amount of families it can attract. I'm sure they miss out on great athletes that can't afford or are unwilling to pay.
Athlete has to have the grades and maintain the grades to get in and stay in, disadvantage.

Relax dude, its football season.
It's also cross country season over at the red flyers.
Chaminade has a football team? I thought they dropped that team or stopped competing anyway, years ago...

Yes
A few here and there. Much more so at St.A's and Chaminade and you get a couple each year of kids returning to their public school after having been held back at a private for a year.

Just so we are clear, Chaminade dismantled the Class A state champions last year. The game was barely competitive.
Go Chaminade Dad. Yay, you beat the public school A champ...We'll be sure to remind you how great you are when you lose to St. A's, your peer competitor, or the next time you lose to a public.

You (St. Anthony's Daddy) and your buddy (Manhasset Daddy) really need to get a life.

If you read the post, the angry little Manhasset dad went on a wild uncalled for rant, the answer to his unhinged comment was that Chaminade did, in fact, beat the Class A champs pretty soundly.

Okay Manhasset Daddy. Trying to stir things up? Surely a Chaminade Dad would know this is a Chaminade thread on a public forum open to both the elite and the commoner alike.
Serious question who are your top players playing D1 and producing.
Chaminade...2nd place...

The Pequa Chaminade game was a blowout. Chaminade played their 2nd 3rd and 4th string while Pequa left their starters in to make the box score look more respectable.

And he did not start at Chaminade, why because he played for Tide, not $$press.
Nice job winning football championship!
Alright, let's get into it.

I like the freshman 91 re-class group. Can't wait to see how these cheaters turn out.
St. A's wins again. Who's your Daddy Chami? And they go on to better schools to boot.

Those re-class 91 parents are classless and should be ashamed, but are too clueless about life to even understand.

Literally, two posts that make no sense and are virtually unreadable. Guessing neither writer went to Chaminade.
Duke, Duke, Duke. stink it. It worked. Not so clueless.
Lol. Chaminade is not known for producing literary scholars, rather rote drones efficient at memorizing and regurgitating. If not a fact, certainly the prevailing sentiment amongst college admissions offices across the country.

I am sure the "cheaters" will turn out just fine. When the "cheaters" go to Duke, UVA, Yale, Cornell etc . . .and graduate with a degree from one of those schools they will turn out just fine. When they have a degree from one of the schools mentioned and go on to great things in life I am sure they will be just fine. Although one day at the 25 year class reunion they may be 8 months older than some of their peers. Oh my goodness they should realize the ramifications of their decision and stop!
And no this isn't the father of a kid who reclassified. Just dealing with facts. By way of example I know a boy who just reclassified and he is May 2004 and a repeat freshman. He is an excellent player on grade but now as an reclass will be recruited probably by every school in the country. This boy will turn 19 the same month he graduates (private school). My son who didn't reclassify is a August birthday and will graduate at 18 but IS ONLY 4 MONTHS OLDER! So seriously if the best kids cant play with kids 8-14 months within their own age then they cant play at D1 anyway. Just my 2 cents.

You sound way too committed to allowing a 91 kid to reclass and take a younger kids spot on the team. Sounds like you're the 91 dad. L O S E R

So you Son who is an August Birthday will graduate at 18? In NY he is a hold back, my son is also an August Birthday. He will be 17 at graduation. Also you said it perfect, " if the best kids cant play with kids 8-14 months with in their age they cant play D-1" So why repeat a grade. If your good your good you do not need to repeat and re-classify. But If you know your average well then do what you have to do. it all evens out in college. I hope your son and his friend enjoy the extra year of HS.
When are lax tryouts this season?

Crazy, obsessive, compulsive dwelling on hold backs pop up every where on this forum. Can’t we get beyond this and focus on the joy of the game.

Because their sons can’t compete, therefore his competition is a hold back. Not the obvious, that he is a sub par athlete. Sad commentary on lacrosse parents as a whole.
while not as egregious as cheating at the 9/10/11 year old level, it is finding a weakness in the rules to exploit and allow for 19yr old kids to play against 14-18 year olds. I for one, will have my kids play down to JV to really rack up
Dude the truth is people cheat. It is not pleasant to have kid miss out on starting ,beat out by a kid that shouldn't be there by a kid that you know repeated a grade for a fact because he was originally in another grade with your older son. This has happened twice to my kid with holdbacks who couldn't compete on grade at youth. One transferred to private to repeat and another transferred schools in the district to repeat. That kid steals all the reps in youth your kid sits because the other gets 13th grade. If you have limited means hard to overcome. There are only 6 attack, 6 defense , 12 middies and 2 goalies that will get to play in JV and V over 3/4 grades.

Am i the only person that thinks there is a mental issue with holding a kid back to play youth sports?
You are not wrong.

An on age August birthday in NY would start their senior year having just turned 17, and not turn 18 till the summer after their graduation from high school. So an August birthday who is 18 when they graduate is a holdback.

A few things. I was the one who posted about my son and turning eighteen. To begin with, the idea that this conversation is still going on after my post in January (approx 4 months ago) is humorous. I check this site every few months or so and when I saw this I laughed bc boy do people have issues. Secondly, I made a typo. My son does turn 18 in August as was posted so he will be 17 and not 18 at graduation and will turn 18 right before college. I will reiterate that if he plays against 19 year olds WHO CARES. He will be better than some and worse than others. As for the above comment about boys who turn 18 in August going into their senior year they are clearly holdbacks. This is 100% wrong. I know of 3 families whose children celebrate their birthday in August and will be 18 entering their senior year and none of them are holdbacks. Been friends with the families in the community since kindergarten when the only sport the boys played were t-ball. In fact none of them play lacrosse. One is soccer, one is tennis and one doesn't do any sports at all. None of these boys will be playing sports in college and NONE OF THEM ARE HOLDBACKS. so please, who ever is bitter and had their girl taken by a holdback keep this conversation going not only on this thread but every other thread (please note the sarcasm and have a drink). Look forward to reading the responses in 4 months when hopefully life has resumed and is back to normal and I come back to this site.
You keep going on and on about holdbacks when all I wanted to say was congratulations to the Class of 2020 at Chaminade. There are some VERY good players on the team and it is really too bad they lost their season. There was a lot of great stuff on the schedule for the boys and it would have been a lot of fun. Best of luck to everyone next year in college....I hope you crush it.

The majority will never be heard from again. This was their last chance for some meaningful playing time. Sad after spending all that money, but unfortunately those are the facts.
It is the least expensive private school on Long Island due to it a endowment and has 10+ seniors going D1

The parents spend the money for a great education, lax is secondary..... even as good as the program is. IMO, money well spent.
At least you were spared being blown out by St. A's three times this season...

I was curious so I went to the inside lacrosse website to see what it said about the 2020 lacrosse class and those playing in college. For whats its worth Chaminade has 19 players mentioned graduating and at least 13 of them are playing in college. Clearly more than just the starting team. The colleges that these boys are going to are excellent for the most part. Yale (x2), Holy Cross, Michigan, Navy , DeSales, Tufts, Washington & Lee, Denver, High Point, Army and Furman (will invariably go somewhere). I am sure some of the other boys who don't have colleges next to their names are doing great things as well as some of the colleges they are going to are USMMA, Boston College, U Albany, Cal Berkley.
Whether or not "the majority will never be heard from again" on the field - WHO CARES. Chaminade appears to have done right by these boys via education and lacrosse. For the record I have no dog in this fight as my son doesn't go to Chaminade nor will he I was just bored and was curious. I just find the consistent negativity humorous. If the boys at Yale, Tufts, Navy, Army, etc . .are "never heard from again" on the lacrosse pitch I am sure they will do OK in life. Lets look for ways to prop up our youth and whether or not they go D1, D2 or D3 , start varsity, ride the bench and/or never play lax again it would appear that getting a good education and playing a game they hopefully loved in HS did well by them. Just my mini rant (although I would hardly classify the above as a rant) for the day. Lets let positivity rue the day. I hope everyone has a nice weekend and stays safe.

Best of luck to everyone next year in college....I hope you crush it.
The majority will never be heard from again. This was their last chance for some meaningful playing time. Sad after spending all that money, but unfortunately those are the facts.
I was curious so I went to the inside lacrosse website to see what it said about the 2020 lacrosse class and those playing in college. For whats its worth Chaminade has 19 players mentioned graduating and at least 13 of them are playing in college. Clearly more than just the starting team. The colleges that these boys are going to are excellent for the most part. Yale (x2), Holy Cross, Michigan, Navy , DeSales, Tufts, Washington & Lee, Denver, High Point, Army and Furman (will invariably go somewhere). I am sure some of the other boys who don't have colleges next to their names are doing great things as well as some of the colleges they are going to are USMMA, Boston College, U Albany, Cal Berkley.

You forgot the 2020 middies going to Notre Dame, Fairfield and Scranton.

Errrr, I don’t think so. Chaminade has superior defense, LSM and goalie. St. Anthony’s had big edge at attack. Face off is pretty even, but I’ll take the Chaminade Yale commit all day. Middies even. In the end, I think it would have been a battle with much turning in face offs. Number 34 needs the ball to dominate......

My kid plays for Express. Granted the star players on Chaminade are Express kids... whoever wrote this is nuts. St. Anthonys has potentially best player in the country, w 3 of the top 10. This post was almost insulting.

Would not be close. St Anthony’s would dominate. Yale commit would struggle against Duke. Agree that Chaminade defense/goalie may have an edge. Offensively St Anthony’s would run circles around them. St Anthonys’s Middies/Attack are solid. Chaminade losing the middle and Attack to Prep Schools hurt them. Next year will be different.

Word is the Covid 19 came out of Chaminade new science labs so they wouldn't have to play St A's this year.

Good one, Fredo. Now go lie down and rest. You must be tired from making a funny.
I'm pretty sure we went 1-1 for the season. Then O'Neill woke up and had a great game.
Obviously an stunad
St. A's has 1 player.
Pretty sure it was 1-1 during the season.

Why on earth did Chaminade not go to NHSLS? In years past they have beaten Boys Latin, Culver and others featured yesterday on ESPN. They should have been there and could quarrantine when they got back.. What a sad loss of exposure for the rising juniors and seniors!
Administration clearly stated no practices, meets, tourneys, Captain practices were allowed until further notice.

Chaminade never “officially” allowed any team to go to NHSLS. Although it was all Chaminade varsity kids, it was never a school sanctioned event and they were always carefully billed as “Flyer Lax” rather than Chaminade. It was nevertheless organized by the coaches and they could have done the very same thing this year when players needed the exposure more than ever before. Lazy.

Except that this year, due to Covid, they were explicitly told not to organize anything. Doubt they are lazy, more like they want to keep their employment.
Why on earth did Chaminade not go to NHSLS? The reason is that coach M was too busy with his Express teams.. Total Joke.
Is anyone awake here?
Are the Catholic schools going to allow fitness/workouts under supervision? It certainly can be done safely and would be better than leaving the athletes (I mean students) on their own.

All of these kids are bending the rules and doing small group activities... wink, wink!
Catholics schools will have sports starting September 21, as of now. They are it subject to Section 8 and Section 11s decision to go with that nutty schedule.

Save you prayers for those that need them. I’m not sure why you needed to define me as a heathen, maybe say one for yourself.
I thought Heathen was a nicer term than lost, which is what I think you really are.

Yup... proper chirps on on a Catholic School Thread
Agree. Dopey chirp. Better discussion would be what to do about the coaches.
Looks like they have 2 squads in the LILJ (FLG) winter league and they played last night.

how did they invite the Junior’s if their was no team last year? wonder if that is why they were all mainly marked as 2022 on the roster.

Correct....Gold is mostly juniors and few 2023 sophomores. I'm sure they were asked based on talent and recommendations from JV coaches. Although no, team, tryouts were completed last spring.

I guess they happen to be all the express kids too.
Any info if this league at Stonybrook will resume.
Chaminade varsity lacrosse coaches are really a disgrace......The conflicts with Express are unconscionable. Year after year, the coaches shamelessly use the Chaminade brand to market Express and then penalize kids viewed as disloyal to the enterprise. The coaches do next to nothing to get kids recruited....unless you are an elite player for Express and/or come from a legacy family or went to school with one of the coaches. Everyone else is on their own, regardless of skill. The talent funnel is re-filled to the B every single year with dozens of strong players coming in. The coaches just sit back, count the money and convince themselves that the program's success is all due to their brilliance.
They are good Catholics that are just trying to make some money.. Hahahah. St Anthonys and Chaminade coaches all are doing it. Your better off paying the express vig if your child is attending the Catholic schools.

I never understood what the huge draw to playing Lax was. Ok, maybe a kid is afforded a chance to attend a so-called "great academic school," but in all reality, what type of degree program will the kid pursue? Medical (Research), law, pharmaceutical, to name a few, considering playing college lax is a full-time job. Sad to say, this sport is extremely overrated and overpriced at the youth level. To the very wealthy, the cost of youth lax, private [ChillLaxin].S., followed by the Great Academic school, is a drop in the bucket. But to everyday working family living comfortably here on L.I., it's a stretch. In that regard, I truly believe the parents are the driving force behind their kids playing this sport, and many will go to no end financially chasing the office water cooler lax conversation about their kid. Maybe because of their prior shortcomings in sports and/or other areas in life. Lastly, my kid is in his junior year at Chaminade. As a parent who makes a comfortable living here on L.I., I didn't drink the Express potion $$ entering his freshman year. [ChillLaxin].S. Lax will end next year, and my kid will pursue a lucrative career field at a good school.

This is a dopey post. Lots of kids use lax to get into good schools, make connections and land good jobs. Not sure what rock have you been living under, but may be time to open your eyes.

Did you ever think it’s possible that some kids just really love to play the game ?
There are coaches at Chaminade who their own sons don't play for Express. 91 players start over Express kids all the time for the Flyers. In the end, they field the best players. If 2 players are equal, maybe the Express or legacy helps a bit.....that that would be at any program.

Yeah....not so much. No Chaminade varsity coach has a high school age kid playing lacrosse. Nice try though...

Its sad such a great school allows this. But I guess that is why 2023 kids were hiding as 2022 for the winter league.

Is that what they call it now? “Time for some “humility” Johnny, but don’t say a word!”
If it’s humility you are seeking, good for you, I’ll have my son pass on that.
Congrats to the Chaminade varsity red team for winning the LILJ Winter HS League defeating Mount Sinai in the finals...
"Only the second day of 2021 and already there is some good news on the scholastic sports front!!
Congratulations to Flyers Red on winning the ACC Division at the inaugural Long Island Lacrosse Journal Winter League...
Finishing the event (most of which was condensed into a week of games) with an overall record of 7-2-1, Chaminade rallied from the #3 seed by posting respective 9-6 and 8-5 victories on Saturday over 2nd-seeded Whalers (comprised of multiple schools with a heavy Cold Spring Harbor and St. Anthony's influence) and top-seeded Mt. Sinai...The first of the two triumphs avenged a previous 10-9 loss on December 28th.
Spearheading the offense with a team-leading six goals (including a hat trick and game-winner in an 8-7 quarterfinal win over Shoreham-Wading River) was Marquette bound Conor McCabe...The senior attackman scored three times today, netting a pair in the semifinals before adding one final strike in the championship game...
Concluding the week with five goals was the Crimson & Gold's extraordinary senior two-way middie, Ben Bonafede...The Bucknell commit may not have registered a goal in the finals, but he was a VERY big reason why the team advanced to the 'ship, as he posted a two-goal effort in the quarters on Thursday and followed it up with a mad hatter during this morning's semifinal round...
Sharing 3rd place honors among Marianist net rippers were two stud student-athletes who will continue their careers at the next level competing for Atlantic Coast Conference programs---Senior midfielder, Will Lynch (Notre Dame), and 2022 A/M standout, Charles "King Pluto" Balsamo (Duke)...Mirroring one another in all three "money matches", each struck once in the quarters and semis, and then combined for half of Chaminade's total output in the title game by logging 2gs apiece against the Mustangs.
The next in the line of great CHS face-off specialists, Machado Rodriguez (Yale), did more than his fair share during the course of the past week...Dominating the draws in all 10 appearances, the future Bulldog went above and beyond in the tournament finale, complementing his possession garnering work by scoring on two separate occasions to become the third Flyer with a multi-tally showing versus Mt. Sinai.
Matthew Rettinger (Wesleyan) had goals in the quarters and finals!
Tommy Casey (Marquette) and Grant Pearsall rounded out the list of playoff scorers for Chaminade, as they each had one in the semis.
Defensively, only one word would be needed to accurately describe the collective performance of senior quartet---Vincent Fowler (Duke), Andrew Rooney (Siena), Aidan Wagner, and Ryan Kiernan---and that term is LOCKDOWN!!!....
Pitted against the top-2 scoring offenses of the week in consecutive games, the unit successfully held Whalers (entered averaging 10.4) to six goals, and shined even brighter in the title contest, limiting Mt. Sinai (11.3 per game) to a modest five!!!
Alex Zepf (Notre Dame) and Dan Burger (Endicott) split time in the cage and were equally reliable down the stretch...The former [Zepf], who returned for the knockout portion of the week after missing the round-robin, handled 1st half duties, while his fellow senior was superb while acting in the role of closer!!!"

Spearheading the offense with a team-leading six goals (including a hat trick and game-winner in an 8-7 quarterfinal win over Shoreham-Wading River) was Marquette bound Conor McCabe...The senior attackman scored three times today, netting a pair in the semifinals before adding one final strike in the championship game...
Concluding the week with five goals was the Crimson & Gold's extraordinary senior two-way middie, Ben Bonafede...The Bucknell commit may not have registered a goal in the finals, but he was a VERY big reason why the team advanced to the 'ship, as he posted a two-goal effort in the quarters on Thursday and followed it up with a mad hatter during this morning's semifinal round...
Sharing 3rd place honors among Marianist net rippers were two stud student-athletes who will continue their careers at the next level competing for Atlantic Coast Conference programs---Senior midfielder, Will Lynch (Notre Dame), and 2022 A/M standout, Charles "King Pluto" Balsamo (Duke)...Mirroring one another in all three "money matches", each struck once in the quarters and semis, and then combined for half of Chaminade's total output in the title game by logging 2gs apiece against the Mustangs.
The next in the line of great CHS face-off specialists, Machado Rodriguez (Yale), did more than his fair share during the course of the past week...Dominating the draws in all 10 appearances, the future Bulldog went above and beyond in the tournament finale, complementing his possession garnering work by scoring on two separate occasions to become the third Flyer with a multi-tally showing versus Mt. Sinai.
Matthew Rettinger (Wesleyan) had goals in the quarters and finals!
Tommy Casey (Marquette) and Grant Pearsall rounded out the list of playoff scorers for Chaminade, as they each had one in the semis.
Defensively, only one word would be needed to accurately describe the collective performance of senior quartet---Vincent Fowler (Duke), Andrew Rooney (Siena), Aidan Wagner, and Ryan Kiernan---and that term is LOCKDOWN!!!....
Pitted against the top-2 scoring offenses of the week in consecutive games, the unit successfully held Whalers (entered averaging 10.4) to six goals, and shined even brighter in the title contest, limiting Mt. Sinai (11.3 per game) to a modest five!!!
Alex Zepf (Notre Dame) and Dan Burger (Endicott) split time in the cage and were equally reliable down the stretch...The former [Zepf], who returned for the knockout portion of the week after missing the round-robin, handled 1st half duties, while his fellow senior was superb while acting in the role of closer!!!"

Or just teach them to write a big enough check
You have no idea what you are talking about...Varsity starters are from Express, 91, Legacy, and ICON. Varsity coaches couldn't help much because the season was cancelled last year but JV coaches were extremely helpful to multiple players
Nobody said anything about the JV coaches. They are great. I won't belabor the point. You will find out for yourself.

New AD at is some piece of work there also..Talk about bribes and parents promising him things. Its so so bad there its disgusting. They really did a nice job of covering up what that teacher did a few years back also..Money heals all wounds
What are you talking about? Did your kid just get cut from a sport?
i have driven by that school when the kids are leaving classes. No one talks to each other and they all look miserable walking alone. I guess 14k+ year its all worth it!!

So just another made-up silly post, jealous that these kids will succeed in life, and that CHS will be a big part of it. It's kind of sad how much jealousy resides here. The kids aren't miserable, they are excellent lacrosse players, the team beats everyone in LI save STA every few years. Please get over yourself.
its all abt the $$$$$$$$. Frosh enjoy those coaches this spring clueless,screamer and I'm just here for the $.
Did any of the 2023 Lax players get brought up to Varsity?
Only the express 2023s got pulled up. 75 man roster.

I would love to know how this person has this information! Or is it a silly little rumor and they are fueled like an 8th grade girl? Thinking the latter

Sounds like the college rosters this year.....
Haven’t even had tryouts yet. How do you know the roster?
I think with every high school, its going to be tough to cut kids from any sport during the Covid era. I think school will take as many as they can handle. Its the right thing to do, if a kids wants to be on a team, so be it.
No one is getting cut. As long as you keep paying your express tuition payments your son will be on the team.
My kid plays for 91. Is he allowed to try out for the Lacrosse team at Chaminade?
Hope your kid is good and gets moved up to JVA Coaches for JVB are really really BAD. JVA coaches are fantastic

Agree 100% Freshman coaches are clueless when it comes to lacrosse and coaching in general. Screaming isn't teaching.

Wait, the freshman team has not played in almost 2 years and that team crushed all the teams that were of same age.
Its not how good you are at Bubble Bath U its "who you know" and how much $ u give. Then you get to play. Sorta like pay for play.
Wow! Someone has some issues. Maybe seek some help.

So you were correct, then ONLY Express players would start on any of the 3 teams (JVA, JVB or V).
A quick look at the starters, it is clear that you have no idea of what you are talking about.
"the team beats everyone in LI save STA every few years."
Please check yourself on the above comment. St. A's OWNS Chaminade... I won't even get into the recent (last 3 decades of football dominance as well).
Chaminade is the laughing stock of lacrosse when they lose to one of the publics, which they do most years, and the entire island is there to cheer that loss. Get off your high horse...300+ boys, many of which were recruited to play lax there, and you are going to tout beating publics with 100 boys to choose from in some cases?? Go back to your 1/8th acre stamp and continue dreaming of your son escaping your miserable life and getting to GC so you can stop running from your public school district.

That's golden! A rented trailer in Shirley, love it.
Stop calling me Shirley...and a trailer is a little too big.
Public school Dad here. Just looking at the league championship results and the media recognized top recruits of late, I really do not see how any human grounded in reality could argue that Chaminade does not play 2nd fiddle to St. A's. Granted it is a good backup fiddle, but common. Not saying St. A's is a better school, because I know it isn't, but as for talent, wins and championships-it is what it is.
That being said, you need help. The deck is stacked. There should be no glory in an uneven match.

Does anyone have any idea what Chaminade schedule will look like this year? Are they playing publics?
Same thing for St. Anthony's?

What happened in the JV Scrimmages vs St A’s today
Chaminade dominated.
St A players need more express practices. MC will send an invite and an updated tuition bill.

ST A’S freshman won both games
They pull all their best players up to Varsity. Depletes the JV team.
8-10 Soph at St A's are on Varsity. Chaminade isn't very good JVA and B this year. JVA coaches are great...Freshman coaches are terrible. One coach just yells all game long and doesn't have a clue about lacrosse..Ask anyone who has played for them

Ask anyone?
Friars have to be licking their chops today after the Flyers barely beat Iona Prep at Bubble Bath Stadium.
Really, Bubble Bath Stadium? Ok 50 year old public school Suffolk dad. Time to move on.
Tight game with a very game Iona Prep team yesterday. They have a nice program. Got me thinking, when was the last time either St Anthony's or Chaminade lost to another NY Catholic League squad?

Iona Prep has 5 DI commits. They are a very good team that is well coached. It would be a mistake to take them lightly.
Yes..... you are correct

JVB/Freshman. JVA/Sophomore. Varsity is junior and senior. Coaching at all levels is great for both schools. And the teams are very good also. JVB game was a Friar one goal win over Chaminade. Was good lacrosse on both sides.
JVB Freshman coaches are AWFUL. One coach just yells nonsense all game long. Has zero clue about the game. Also that school is very political..Who you know as in Express

Look at who is starting on these teams, the players are from all travel clubs. The best players play, Express or not.
As for the coach who yells, he runs substitutions so who cares. He really does not coach the games or in the practices. Some like his enthusiasm l, some don’t.....
This thread is quiet? Did the Flyers play today?
Chaminade, what's up?
3rd place finish in league is a real possibility this season. Good luck. Go beat up on the weaker Catholics now...bullies.

Really Friar dad? Chaminade dad's are at work. Guess you have time to troll BOTC and collect your unemployment.

The only reclass difference is that the Chaminade kids do it when they repeat 9th grade at Chaminade, so stop with that.

Plainly, Iona can flat out play. Very good squad.
Westchester has always had some great Lax programs, Yorktown, John Jay, etc.

Flyers were definitely off to a slow start this year but have improved greatly week over week.
Are you surprised that's Chaminade won or shocked that Friars lost?
Freshman ast coach and wrestling coach still the worst person alive. ask him where his kid is going? talk about brain aneurysm..lol

Easy answer. Some parents want their kids to have an advantage and think they are the best parents because they will do anything to better their kids' chances or experience. They don't care about anyone else or fairness. It's justified, the kid is better in high school because he got all the training and all the game reps. Some kids hold back or even double hold back on top of this. Lacrosse allows it. So the parents do it because there is nothing to stop it. Most of the other sports don't allow this. It won't stop until the sport won't allow it.
Holding back 1 year....maybe a little crazy.....holding back 2 years....you got problems.....
Every major D1 school has 24-25 year olds on the roster. holdbacks may be gross to most parents, but it is the reality of college lacrosse today. College coaches LOVE them!

Because, it’s allowed and accepted by the sport, and a clear advantageous move! It’s rewarded at the college level! Look at the top D1 school rosters. They LOVE holdbacks!
If your kid wants to “play” on one of those teams, you need to consider holding back 1 and now maybe even 2 years!!! fool, but unfortunately becoming a reality.
This is why it’s an elitist sport, and becoming even more so. It cost lots of $$s to repeat 1 or 2 grades. Public schools do not allow holding back for sports reasons. You would need to switch to private.
The “LAX families” have known the holdback game and advantage it has, and have been doing it for years starting at Kindergarten age, pre first, etc…. Mainstream families just catching up on the whole holdback scenario, as now it’s almost a must! SAD! The Sport needs to change the rules and fix it at youth levels. It’s getting out of hand.
However, I think the people in charge of the sport and the rules are prob. From the “LAX families” this all started with?
You cant play sports in Public or Private high school in NY state if you are 20. Rules dude.You can turn 19 the summer before school starts senior year.
My kid is going to be in College when he is 17. He is screwed. Time to bail on this game.

Not sure what information you’re getting but there isn’t any difference between high school sports. They actually all follow the same rules. There are plenty of basketball and football players doing it. And for those parents who continue to use the “injury” line, if you’re putting your kid out there and you’re concerned about their well being but still putting them on the field, you’re a pretty lousy parent.
