What did Chaminade say last year when they played WM?

Chaminade said the same exact thing that WM said when they played in 2014.

2014? Living in the past!

Ummm... Isn't 2015 also the past?

Your team will always be judged by the most recent game played. That's how it generally works.

Nobody said the sucked, only that they were beat by a fine public program the last time they played. Easy there! It has turned into a great rivalry. A game that is looked forward to! Who knows, maybe this,year Cham will reclaim the bragging rights!

Hope not, sick of the express a hammy connection and the phones parents.

Can you hurt you hammy when you are on the phone? Or does Channy just hurt your wallet?

Welcome to club lax [lacrosse]. Get out now while u still have a few bucks in your pocket.

How about the cost for the "event" in MD for the 2024 B team. 150 bucks extra I heard! That is too much.

You have to play for Express if you want to go to a Catholic, so they have you trapped.

You Play express if your boarder line to make team in 9th and JV- Kid never see's field then gets cut on varsity because summer checks are done. If your kid play elsewhere but is good, he will play. Look at SA and Cham 9th Grade roster the Bottom 15-20 kids all Play express.

that simply is not the case! You have no idea what you're talking about!

Yup

Yup

I don't know Mike C of express personally but thought I would share a funny story and probably validate why so many on this board have shared distasteful comments. A parent I know whose son plays on Express is going to a tournament in Maryland at the Landon school this weekend. Each player is being charged a $120 tournament registration fee even though on the tournament website it states that the cost to register a full team is just $450. So, after the first 4 players, it simply profit for what shouldn't be a revenue producing event. Don't know how many kids on the team but assume 20+ which would mean a $2000 profit into Mike C's pocket for doing nothing except registering his team. Can anyone confirm this because if true, just disgusting. Assume that is the behavior the moderator was referring to. Hard to for Mike C to defend himself or the program if accurate though.

Group rates are often more than the regular rate since they slip the coaches rooms into the "Special" rate. There, they screw the players again!

A lot of the top 15-20 play Express too

less than half the kids who got legit playing time for Chaminade last year played Express. It simply is a myth that you have to play Express to get on the field at Chaminade. A complete myth

Confirmed, except it's $125 per kid to play. Crazy thing is he could have just charged each team playing $50 more to make the $2000 profit but he decided to screw his own players instead.

I never thought I would defend this guy but you have to pay coaches, their travel expenses, hotels and meals. That all costs money. And he is also in business to make money. That's how this works. You don't get mad at the plumber who charges you 200 dollars for the pipe that cost 8 at Home Depot. You are paying for a service. If you could do it without anyone else , you would. I could write a book on other negative things to say about him, but this isn't one of them.

It is a business. All of these clubs are. Nobody is coaching for free. This is America. Other clubs owners are making $, but according to this blog it seems like MC is the only club owner making $. A lot of disgruntled Daddy's twist things to make MC look worse bc their son couldn't measure up or succeed on his team. Come on parents. Grow up

If he wasn't so sleazy in everything else he does nobody would pay any attention to this stuff.
