You do know that math is a science don't you?

hahaha....awesome....this Rhodes scholar tried to correct a superb cultural reference (BB) with an incorrect observation that its math not science....classic...... yeah a dolt huh?

Are you a [lacrosse]? First the Ed Grimly comment. Then the beeeaaaach comment. Now the dolt comment.

This poster is a complete fool.

What happened to the LI privates ranked below public, interesting!

Surprised that the Owl's were not ranked by USA Today - they have the best cover d-man on LI and some offensive players back.......

Massapequa lost their entire starting defense, goalie and their best overall player at midfield. They will have to win high scoring games against Syosset in Nassau A.

With club lacrosse and all the show cases around, the best kids from non big time public lax programs have no need to go catholic.Chaminade is the only school worth the money.St Anthony's run is over in lax.

Keep repeating that to yourself and at some point you will believe it. Chaminade and St A along with the other Catholics provide a better environment to succeed in school. Keep your baggy a$$ pants and simple class subjects in public school.

FYI , my kid will be graduating a semester early from top school, because of all the public school BS classes, lol.

"Keep repeating that to yourself and at some point you will believe it. Chaminade and St A along with the other Catholics provide a better environment to succeed in school. Keep your baggy a$$ pants and simple class subjects in public school."

Obviously you didn't take the time to investigate what your local public high school offers - or you live in a town that doesn't have a sufficient tax base to support a strong public academic program.

I had sons in both environments so am able to compare. For u, the difference between Chaminade or other catholic schools is mostly cultural. The academics in the honors/AP classes at the public high school rival, and in most cases (AP) surpass what Chaminade offers. On the other hand, the lack of freedom to be an individual and the very strong alumni base at Chaminade far surpasses that of our local HS.

Did my son who went to the public HS, where baggy pants - no. But he did like the option of jeans and sweat pants. More importantly, he liked and took advantage of 8 AP classes, something he couldn't get at Chaminade - they don't offer any. Is the lax program better at Chaminade than what we have locally - no question, not even a debate. But for him, the strong academic offerings at the public school won over when deciding between the two schools. And, he did great with public HS and club lax and is now happy playing in college and getting an excellent education at a great academic institution.

To each his own, just know your kid and do your research.

I think Massapequa will be very good this year but not the best public school in the country or Long Island or even Nassau County (Lynbrook) so I think the list is kind of silly, they lost 118 goals and 96 assists to graduation from three players Kirby, Byrnes and Berge - that is a lot to make up and then add in new goalie and no returning starting defense and they have some work to do and they might get it done but to rank them as the best public school in the country is a little silly

I think this message is a bit misguided. A run can start and stop at any time. For example, the classes of 2020 crush and 2021 igloo could very well decide to attend St A's and continue their rise in the . It is all to premature to declare a run over.

Run over...you can't be serious. Last year's St. Anthony's JV team beat
Chaminade, Delbarton, Haverford, Yorktown and Wilton.

Wow you sound like your kid just graduated and your worried that Mass could repeat without your little Timmy. Very sad,

Where's the tough guy with the wise [lacrosse] posts? Been pretty quiet. Cold in queens?

A little bird says you may be surprised.

You obviously can't see the forest for the trees or have absolutely no idea what the goalie situation is there.

Interesting that USA today has Massapequa #12 in the Nation as well as the top rated public school in the nation, Joe Lombardi's Lax lessons does not have them in the top 25 in the metro area. IMHO Lynbrook is the top team in Nassau county.

Chaminade is playing Massapequa on 3/25 so maybe hold your gloating until you see who wins the game.

Massapequa players all have great credentials, right down to their 2019 8th grade team.

Solid players, willing to work hard and challenge themselves daily both in the classroom and on the field.

It is going to be a great season, in spite of the weather.

This should give Massapequa a huge advantage over all those towns with weak 8th grade teams, players that don't work hard and do not challenge themselves in the classroom or on the field......

I am looking forward to the Smithtown East HHH West game 3/27. Could be a great indication for both teams

This is a Varsity spot give those boys time to enjoy 8th grade.

That said, you would be foolish not to know how strong the 'Pequa 2019 team is. Along with them are Garden City, Syosset, Ward Melville, Smithtown, West Islip, HHH and Bay Shore.

Those boys moving up to High school next year have Long Island lacrosse staying as a powerhouse. Just given them their time.

Stay off the big boy site, no one cares about 8th graders.

Don't hate. Obviously parenting in Pequa is far superior to other towns. No where else are kids challenged to work hard in the class room and on the field. In the words of Hans and Frans Pequa, "you are a bunch of flabby losers".

You may not care now, but those teams with talented 2017's playing varsity, they care and know who is coming up to help behind them.

You are not a nice person.

You are obviously a very disgruntled parent who is living in a depressed school district

or

You are a frustrated former HS lax player who could not keep up and now your son is on a team who cannot keep up

or

You are just an jerk.

Whatever the case may be, you are certainly challenged. The point the original poster was making was that Massapequa was looking forward to the upcoming game against Chaminade. The Massapequa players are just as focused as the Chaminade players, on and off the field. In fact, Massapequa has great players coming up in the ranks, ready to support the Varsity players. Many of the 2019's are siblings to the MHS Varsity players as well as siblings of the Chaminade players.

It is in the blood.

Get ready.

That is funny, I was told all the good Massapequa 8th graders are going to Catholic school.

No secret that a lot of Pequa kids go to Catholics in the past. I think the poster is promoting the Junior High boys. He must have one. They are good players. Same as a few other towns. Several quality players scattered amongst several club teams. Where is the big deal ?

That is what they said when 5 Massapequa kids left for Catholic schools a few years back,class of 2014. Then Massapequa wins the state tournament in 2014. It must be a good sign. FYI, the people saying the better kids are leaving for Catholic schools are the parents of the players leaving.

Chaminade players all have great credentials, right down to the Massapequa 2019 8th grade team whose best players will be going to Chaminade next year.

Solid players, willing to work hard and challenge themselves daily in the classroom, in church and on the field.

It is going to be a great season, in spite of the weather.

Can anyone give some valuable insight to the bottom half of the leagues. I figure 2-4 could be a crap shoot with any of those teams taking a different spot. Just as 5-8 could have movement. but does anyone think the bottom 1/4 as detailed should be moved up.

Can anyone give some insight to these teams.

Is it me, the younger parents can't wait to be in the spot light, lol.

The top talent on the Muddogs 2019 will NOT BE ATTENDING CHAMINADE in September 2015.

FYI......Pequa 2019's have some lax players going to Chaminade. Are any of them considered to be the best players? NO!


The best 2019 Muddogs are NOT attending Chaminade in September.

Look at he roster of 2019 Muddogs:
Of the boys attending 8th grade at Catholic schools now, the best have turned down Chaminade.
Of the Berner 8th graders who play on Muddogs, the best players have also turned down Chaminade.

Bottom line is MHS has talent and they have the players ready to rise through the ranks over the next 2-3 years to remain a powerhouse.

It is a fact that the varsity players have younger brothers who are just as talented. In fact, some of the varisty Chaminade players have younger brothers who have opted to stay in Pequa.

Looking forward to ALL of the teams playing. Our Strong Island players are very talented. The best part is, holdbacks are not an issue here and ALL of our boys are good kids.

Wishing all of the players a healthy season!

They should be carefull what they wish for. Many sad faces on the sideline when junior doesn't see the field till 11th grade

interesting note. the starting goalie for pequa and the starting goalie for chaminade both pequa kids. I guess pequa didn't suffer too badly...won first state title. belies the contention that Top players all opt for chamninade

Are you even reading the posts????

No one is suggesting younger players be brought up. Happy to have the middle school, JVA's, B's out there working and playing the game.

It sounds to me that 'Pequa is looking forward the season beginning. Happy to match up with the best and compete.

As I am sure, all of the schools are.

Good bye to Old Man Winter.
Lax Bros are ready to take the field.
