Just saw who our coach selected for "all conference". I mean, our coach is bad but selecting this girl just proves how out of touch she is with this team. She picks the most selfish player, who doesnt pass and is the last person you would want to be a role model for the rest of the girls on the team. Go figure!
Come on, lacrosse is all about selfish stat building which leads to early verbals. If you are trolling this site you probably have an athletic kid and are around other sports. Answer me this, what other sport do you hear about the constant scholarships and early committing? Baseball? Softball? Soccer? Football? Basketball? NONE OF THEM! they all get some scholarships but the only sport you ever hear about is Lacrosse and summer club teams are a major driver.
I'm not going to disagree with you in regards to the selfish stat building - that is rampant on LI and some of the coaches are also to blame for letting it go on.
However, I will disagree with you in regards to the scholarship issue you raise. The reason you hear about it more with lacrosse is because more kids from Long Island are using lacrosse as a tool to get into school than any other sport. The numbers don't lie - more kids are going to college to play lacrosse (boys and girls) than almost all of the other major sports combined.
