Reality Check.....In the past 5 years St. Ants has played top ranked teams from Upstate NY, CT, NJ, PA, MD

Likewise, Chaminade has played top ranked opponents from Upstate NY, CT, NJ, CA

Among the names that should ring a bell: Delbarton, Darien, Yorktown, St. Ignatius, Greenwich, Fairfield Prep, Bergen Catholic, Wilton, Haverford, La Costa Canyon, Don Bosco, Immaculata, Loyola Blakefield, New Cannan, Episcopal, Niskayuna,

Locally, their schedules consistently include West Islip, Massapequa, Ward Melville, Manhasset, etc.

This year the friars have Syossett. I expect that Chaminade will again find a way to add a game with West Islip which has been a great game for both teams over the years.

Is that not enough of a non league list for you haters?

Certainly does not look like the Catholics are ducking anyone!

How has the recent Nassau/ Suffolk HS combined record looked against teams from PA, NJ, CT, MD? I think GC plays St. Pauls(MD) & Duxbury (MA) regularly. How about the big tough Syosset, Northport, and both Smithtown teams? How are their records against powerhouse out of state programs?

Nailed It!.........Chaminade's Schedule now opens with West Islip and also added Ward Melville.

No doubt, consistently playing the toughest schedule in the nation.
St. Ants & Chaminade have been playing this caliber of talent for decades.

Take a look ... Chaminade has ranked in the top 50 national poll in each of the past 10 years and St. Ants for nine out of the past 10
The teams they play also are consistently nationally ranked as well.

How does Chaminade's rate for a non-league schedule?
WEST ISLIP 6X top 50
SAINT IGNATIUS PREP 8X top 50
WARD MELVILLE 8X top 50
at Manhasset 5X top 50
YORKTOWN 6X top 50
at Massapequa 4X top 50
at Fairfield Prep 5X top 50
at Greenwich HS 3X top 50
DELBARTON 9X top 50
Now, add in 3 games against St Anthony's 9X top 50

Talk to me, who are they ducking?

For all the Syossett fans: you've only ranked nationally 3 times... sorry your just not there yet.

Just the facts, Ma'm!

Are you really bragging about playing WI?? WM beat Cham last year and has a good chance to repeat that. Syosset would beat Chaminade easily this year, the only one that counts. Hope to see that game

This guy did not even absorb the facts... Chaminade only plays hard core battle tested winners.

Syo needs to be more consistent.

To disparage West Islip is foolish. The program has a great history, great coaching, and will put a tough team back on the field. A few down years does not take away from the program. The talent will be back.

Anyone hear anything about a coaching change?

This is a lacrosse thread, not football

Oh I'm sorry, could you point me in the right direction? Is there a Back of the end zone site?

You never know what will be popping up.

LOL- still hoping for a hockey site! That would be one crazy site!

shhh take a look at www.backoftherink.com Like I said many things on the horizon for the Back of.... sites Also working on www.backoftheplate.com and www.backofthebasket.com All in good time, my friends.

Heard Coach Pomps is back for lax.

Is this for certain?

Did all the best lax players suddenly, some would say "miraculously" pass the entrance test and get in? The applications should all be in by now.

So that means keep your eyes peeled for parents decked out in their latest red/yellow outfits.

And no public school parent ever wears the local high school gear.

if you were a true fan you would have attended some of the Public school games. If going through this travel process you made a true friend you would've supported those past teammates families on those public school teams.

if you did this, you would notice the apparel of each school being displayed - proudly - on many moms dads sisters and brothers (even grandparents).

does that include the dbag on the LIRR who wear's Harborfields pull-over everyday?...

This could be the dumbest conversation I ever read on here and I've seen some real dumb ones.

Chaminade's Non-League Schedule:

Smithtown East (scrimmage)
West Islip
St. Ignatius (CA)
Ward Melville
Manhassett
Yorktown
Massapequa
Fairfield Prep (CT)
Greenwich (CT)
Delbarton (NJ)

For the guy who says their schedule is soft - please look again. They play a who's who of lacrosse. By the way St. Anthony's schedule is just as tough. For Chaminade and St. As to continuously be in the top 20 in the country year in and year out with the schedule they play is impressive...

getting closer to season . how do the Flyers shape up this year? any standouts?

getting closer to season . how do the Flyers shape up this year? any standouts?

Defensively, the team should be fine. Senior goalie (committed to Notre Dame) got a lot of playing experience last year. XXXXXXX, a senior defenseman headed to Penn, also played a ton last year. Juniors will contribute defensively as well.

At the faceoff X, Colgate commit was outstanding last year and he is back.

The big question for Chaminade this year is will they be able to score against solid defensive teams. Chaminade's entire 2015 attack graduated . Moreover, while senior middies are solid, gritty players, they aren't big scorers (like say Cerrone or Bonafede or Zenker were in recent years past). In order for this team to do really well, some junior middies (or sophs?) and attackman are going to have to step up.

Boom, you just went there! 800lbs gorilla - Will they pull up the soph's

The senior and junior class are very strong ( juniors alone 12 D1 commits). They still have to have tryouts, no sophs will be moved up and they only have 44/46 spots not 70 plus. Time will tell how good they will be but there is a tremendous amount of talent in that upperclass. Wish all the candidates beat of luck during and after tryouts
