How is st. John the baptist.

Education
Lax

How is St. A's academically?

Does anyone The Dads name who brought the talent from hills 91 to express orange, his kid is the only one who doesnt belong at this level, I find it amazing how some parents feel my kid plays on the best team this makes him the best player around, I don't think colleges give scholarships to players who's parent's kiss butt, High scholl is coming your manipulation game is over lets see how your kid does LMAO

SJB education is second to none. I have a kid there that plays varsity lax. Because of the way the diocesan high schools are set up the will never be able to compete with St A. or Cham. an lax. Great academics, send your kid if you can. he can make up the recruiting in the summer

What is it about "the way the diocesan high schools are set up" that SJB could never compete with St. A or Cham? I'm new to the Catholic school scene. Please shed some more light on why the setup makes it so that the duopoly of St A's and Chaminade can't be broken into. You can have an army standing on the sidelines but the reality is you only need 15 really good ones to compete in HS where subs are rarely made except at middie. Thanks.

If you have never been to St A. OR Cham. You should visit. Truly the most amazing commitment to athletics. St.A . Has a gym that is easily 3/5th of the school, and Cham.'s new complex is amazing. both with world class training facilities. Cham. has also been the hallmark for finer education (if your kid can get in, very high standards). With that being said, they are both independently run (not by the Diocese of Rockville center). where as SJB and Holy Trinity are. Suffice it to say that SJB and HT are traditional catholic schools. Now with that being said, being independent they are free to higher any coach the please, and put tuition monies to use in any way they see fit. SJB and HT must ask to diocese, and they put a much higher standard on academics.

It's sad that it comes down to who you know and not how well you perform in everything you do. Really hurts a lot of kids!!! Why not teach kids the right thing, to work hard instead of always having parents weaseling to make the "right connections". Much better to help kids learn perserverance and to work hard than to know "who's-who in the corporate world" or any world for that matter. Very sad that every move is so calculated in many parents. Just enjoy life and teach our young what is right.....WORK FOR IT!!!

Thankfully I've seen that the manipulation ends on the high school team (club teams will alway be prone to it) - if anything it backfires and sets a kid back in the high school program. The JV and varsity coaches in our school don't want to hear the opinions of the parents and have written emails to all the parents not to even try. They are very aware of who the manipulators are (their reputations are not a well kept secret, especially if they've had an older kid go through the program) and have called out several of them in a fairly public way. You don't want to be on the wrong side of that conversation.

2016 Rankings:
1.Express Orange (cudas)
2.fl$ (very solid scrappy team)
3.91 orange (raiders)
4.Outlaws
5.Crabs they will get pumbled by the strong long island teams. They will not be able to match up with the physicality of the 'cudas or 91 raiders
Should be a great summer.

With the exception of the crabs in the 5 spot (should be 1 or 2) these rankings aren't bad. Take the Crabs out and for long island teams it is accurate. Express is just an all star team, fl$ is very chippy, small but tough great D and goalie, 91 is very solid with some new good players and the Outlaws can beat any of above although they are weaker than last year

My sons team(Lofng Island Pride) has recently played 2 great lacrosse teams. Tenetious Turtles and 91 orange. Long Island Pride is a powerhouse orginization and i know the owner. He is a class act even when the pride rocked to amazing teams both games by about 7 goals. GO PRIDE!!! #1 2016 team!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Outlaws beat fl$ last week, Will be better this year
Still Express is 1st till some one beats. 91 and outlaws 2-3 then all the rest. NO ONE ELSE ON ISLAND CLOSE TO THESE 3

Crabs didnt get pumbled by any LI team

When did Pride play the Turtles? Wasn't last year and certainly was not this year.

Not sure if and when they played these teams- but I saw the 8th grade team play one day and they are beasts! Talk about some big players with talent. I wondered why they are not talked about more. Do they play in a different division than other big name teams?

crabs beat you twice this year

no express parent is talking trash about the crabs. They are are great team and the coming years should be fun to watch. They have our respect

Why no Express 2016 Orange at the NSCLA club championship in Delaware? Crabs are dominating and every other big time club team is here. Where are you?
