It really is embarrassing for St. A's or Chaminade to ever lose to a public school. It should not happen...Congrats to Massapequa.

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.

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.

Georgia Tech? what sport?

I will now delete the entire post if it contains offensive language.

That's the fate of the boys varsity lacrosse thread if it doesn't change.

We can take the entire thread down. That will fix the problem.

Private school all stars went down to public school team. Mommy and daddy should get over it. Bunch of sore losers.

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!

Who isn't lovin the blue collar public taking the high brow private to the woodshed!!! Great afternoon!

You threaten taking the whole thread down because of a few bad apples? Don't understand that logic.

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.
