Haha, keep pretending! Trust me, education sub par. Teachers working there could not get jobs in public, so they took what they could for 1/2 pay. FACT!

You are mentally disturbed, FACT. My niece is an ND grad with honors, went to St. A's and chooses to teach there. Please, just stop already. BTW my son goes to public school, a very highly rated one. Many of the teachers there are tenured, lazy, union malcontents... That my friend is a FACT!

days who

Are you kidding me. There is only 2 reasons to go to St Anthonys and they are you live close by or you were recruited to play a sport. You do not go to St Anthonys for academics. Just look at the Building. When the Under Armour sign is bigger than the school name it tells you they are not about the academics

Exactly! Don't forget the affluent boosters that give mega bucks to athletics, merely because they drove past the school.

My kid goes to WM and plays lax and we are happy with our choice. Good school and generally competitive athletics. We didn't choose to live in the district because WM had a strong lax program, we chose because we liked the house, the neighborhood and the education the district provided...

We know people within the district that send their kids to chammy and St As...the families we know that have made this decision did so for may reasons, but mostly because they wanted the religious education and chose between the two based upon many factors including the commute their kids would make to and from. From what we have heard, both are excellent catholic schools with excellent academics and also happen to have strong athletic teams.

For the life of me I cannot understand why any of you need to insult either St A or chammy. If you are happy with your school (again, we are happy with WM) why would you need to put down another school or claim that academics aren't good? As far as strength of schedule for lax, both chammy and St A go out of their way to play tough competition out of league. In fact, I would argue-as a WM parent-that chammy has perhaps the toughest schedule around. They make a point to play all the top publics and many top baltimore privates.

Why do you care enough to come on here and put down either school? You really need to look in the mirror and figure out what in your life is so bad that you need to come on this lax site and talk about the academic quality of either school...

Also will say, we went to watch the chammy/WI game last saturday since WM plays both shortly. Parents of both teams were of course cheering and of course would complain about this call or that call, but in general, very respectful. Not any obnoxious people...well done parents.

for the St A people, i suggest you just ignore the obnoxious poster, as soon as he/she realizes you cant be bothered responding to stupid rants, the foolishness will stop...

Thank you. Excellent post. Also, thank you WM for sending the best players to come out of your town in the past 10 years to St. A's (boys and girls) and a girls coach. Enough with the venom, if you don;t want to send your kid to a catholic school don't send them.

GC lost again today. Like I said earlier could be starting season 0-5 before getting first win. Offense is pathetic. Someone needs to tell coach when you are losing and there is only 6 min left in the game you need to go to the cage not work the ball around 5 times before getting a shot. But then again he doesn't have the talent like in the past so he actually has to do some coaching. Going to be a long 3 years in GC before things turn around. Nothing in the pipeline.

If GC played a soft non-conference schedule like most teams. would you think they were great? Say what you will, but it's undeniable that they don't hide and are competitive in every game regardless of the roster. They won back-to-back state titles as recent as 2012-2013. It's impossible to win championships every year in any sport (Yanks, last World Series 2009?) As far as the 'pipeline' is concerned, their JV team hasn't been able to find a team that can come within 10 goals of them. You are terribly misinformed. It may be a bit premature to call for the demise of GC lacrosse.

GC won back to back titles before they quietly encouraged parents drink the GC 34 kool aid. Those State Champ teams were loaded with players who played for very good club teams from FCA to Express, fl$, Outlaws etc.

You are all still very vague. No idea what GC 34 is or Manhassett 32.

Yes it is. You have to play for town team or else. Unless you are that good he NEEDS YOU not the other way around. In other words you have to line his pockets. Shame because it also allows so called coaches to tell your kids what position they should play when they are 8 and are stuck in that position for the rest of their time in GC. If he wasnt in it for the money then he would be honest with some of the kids and tell them they will not make the team before taking all that money in the winter from the parents and then cutting the kid. YES GC has cuts. I blame the parents for allowing it. Maybe losing a few games will wake them up. Playing a tough out of conference doesnt always make you better but will get you hurt. Lets see

Some great game on the docket for today
Li
Quot v Nport
Cold spring Harbor v Syo
HHHW v Calvert
SE V HHHE
WM V Sachem N
Lindy v Floyd

west
Hen Hud v Pville
Yorktown v Mahopac (Mahopac lost to Nport by 2)

Hhe great game - i think not - blown out - they are not very good

I think Calvert Hall scheduled the wrong Hills team. 19-3 ?, way to represent Section 11. I think Brentwood would have played it closer.

Suffolk A! Toughest league in the country.

The 8th grade early recruit (commit) had 6 & 4 in his first High School Game.
10 points in his first ever varsity start. Could you imagine what he would do against lesser competition.
He plays in Suffolk A, the toughest league out there.
His 8th grade club team would beat many of the teams in the league.
