"Like I suspected, only 1 per certain grad years went anywhere brag worrhy"
Typical Long Island public school response. Colby and Bates are two of the better academic schools in the country. Go ahead and keep dreaming about that 1/8 of an athletic scholarship to UMass-Lowell. That is what it is all about, right? That's funny! Obviously you never heard of Syosset, Ward Melville, Smithtown, GC, Manhasset. Multiple kids going Ivy and top 20 in those program. Please spare us the baseless grasp at an insult, not working, biff. There are scores of public high schools on Long Island. The Red Cup guys only post about six to eight of them. How is recruiting going at Mepham, Valley Stream Central and North Bab? Stop it already.

The original poster contended that none of the backup goalies went to a school that is "brag worrhy." [sic]. Just noting that Colby and Bates are phenomenal schools. Perhaps those players did the smart thing and opted for excellent academic institutions rather than opting for Div 1 schools that aren't as well thought of. Of course, everyone can agree that it isn't about trying to win a national championship -- it is about getting a great education and using lacrosse for that purpose.

Better to wear a red jacket and have your son attend Colby than drink from a red cup and have your son attend Detroit-Mercy. But, it's ok -- you guys will never get it.

I don't get the jealousy. If you don't want your kid to go to Chaminade don't send him there.

You grouped Mepham with valley stream and north Babylon? The only thing those schools have in common is their parents aren't on this site. You think those are the towns making fun of you for wearing your red jacket like you are on the team. Hopefully your kid has a little more class than you.

Because it is wildly classy to drink out of red cups in the parking lot of a high school lacrosse game and make fun of other adults wearing red jackets. Yep, that's class.

Not sure how your reading compression is , but not doing either of those things. The problem is , you think the same person is responding to you. Multiple people respond to idiots like you. I'm sure it gets confusing with someone with your limited capacity.

If you have good reading compression, do you read really quickly? Or can you read really small letters with ease?

What schools have the best off season program? What coaches have been using the winter months to best prepare for the upcoming season? What programs have put the time in to build skill, strength/fitness, and comradery? Who has used the time to implement and teach their offensive and defensive schemes? Will there be a direct correlation between off season preparation / team building and success this spring?

don't get too hung up on the preseason rankings...Lots of teams not on the initial list play teams on the list...
Suffolk county got very little respect other than sme...lots of good games to be had out in Suffolk this year and suspect by the end of the year, you will have three of those teams in the top ten...
Chammy plays WM early so i expect we will see how they both stack up...

True, the preseason is just that, a pediction. And the prediction is that based on prior performance of the team and individual players, Chaminade ranks below some publics. The WM game will be an interesting indicator, as they were not ranked in the top 20. It does matter, of course not to those who were snubbed!

WM not in the top 20 was not a snub i/m/o-my kid is on that team. The last few years they graduated several all Americans. Those kids were incredible, but now is the time for others to shine-or not...we will see if the team can play as a team and not just a team supporting a couple of all Americans.
Like previous poster said, Suffolk will be a really interesting year because all of the top teams are playing each other. So, northport, sme, smw, sachem N, connetquot and even Commack all have legitimate shot to beat each other up during the regular season (if I didn't mention your school, no disrespect, the teams i listed are the one's I am aware of, others may be just as strong).
I suspect that there will be no undefeated teams in Suffolk this year-which is great for parents watching the games, but probably not great for these rankings...so unlike other poster's opinion, I would not expect three teams in suffolk to be ranked in the top ten (perhaps top 20).
either way, I for one am looking forward to this season as compared to last season. Last season had only a few good games all year until playoffs. This year, all the big lax schools play competitive schedules with very few blow out games...
good luck to all your boys and their schools.

What makes this year different from the past 10 or 15 years? This is a two or three team league as usual. If things have changed is it because some programs have gotten stronger or is it that some programs are no longer dominant?

Commack? Not only that, but the WM makes no mention of West Islip. That's messed up.
