Chaminade comes up on the short end of a 7-5 score today playing St. Ignatius from California. Not that surprising as St. I's has a reputation for recruiting.

You're kidding with this excuse right ? How about they were just outplayed. Saint Iggy has 2 D1 senior recruits and 4 D1 junior recruits.

lol, no way, a private school that recruits? wow thats wacky, never heard of something so outrageous.....

Good teams lose games sometimes, there doesnt have to be an excuse attached to every loss.

And Chaminade doesn't.

Wow, one stupid comment (by me) is all it takes for the fur to start flying......
Maybe what we learned is that you shouldn't rank schools based on the # of D-I recruits they have. It may just be that the coaches from Fairfield, Marist, Etc don't travel out west.

The idea that a two goal loss to St Ig is a bad loss is really ridiculous. St Ignatius is one of the best programs in the country. The team lost in multiple over times against a well regarded McDonough team the other day.

Chaminade has 44 D1 recruits and they lose to a CA team with 6 D1 recruits??? How is that even remotely possible? Was it coaching? What is going on with that program? Really bad loss. Watch out for St A's...

What is ridiculous is anyone who thinks counting a list of D1 commits is a measure of quality. The bar isn't high for over eager kids and dads who will pull into lower tier D1 programs or even middle tier D1 programs if they have connected club and prep coaches who can push it hard. Oh, and the lacrosse 'journalists' have a clue about where HS lacrosse is outside of the mid-Atlantic and the Tri-State? Come on. It is ridiculous that any one prep has over 20 D1 recruits, and an absolute joke that one could have 44. Chaminade is a superb program, and ALWAYS has some top players. But 15? 35? 44? Come on. That's marketing and public relations with the twitter whores who cover the sport, most prominently a guy who played volleyball and never stood on a prep or college field. I'm pretty damn good at fantasy football, thank high very much, but Belichick hasn't called. My heart will go on. Maybe yesterday wasn't Chaminade's best day, but the team they played was decent. And no, I didn't see 10 obvious D1 recruits on that SI team. Maybe one to three is a better guess. Frankly, I haven't seen a prep team save for Boys' Latin in 2013 or Haverford in 2015 that had 5-6 OBVIOUS future D1 standouts. I have to say I respect Chaminade's program and coaches for their consistent excellence at the HS level, but I find this parental 'enthusiasm' to be a bit too far into the lunatic fringe. Your sons lost a high school lacrosse game people, and they weren't robbed or cheated. SI was two goals better than you yesterday. It's called sports.

so Chaminade actually has 40+ D1 recruits on its current roster? nice.

I love when Chaminade loses makes the day go so much faster, reading all the pile on mail,

You been losing big games for the last 4 years, you are just another good high school
Team on LI, time to face the facts, u have one d LP, that would start on an all Long Island team.

Don't think GC has to worry about any D1 coaches calling any time soon especially Starsia lesson learned. The ones that were lucky enough to earn a spot on a D1 lower teir team will be the last for a long time.

Given the number of talented lax players get every year, I think a strong argument can be made that Cham should win more than they do. The 2013 team was dynamite. Div 1 kids at every spot including FOGO and LSM. The second midfield line had kids committed to Harvard, Princeton and Villanova. That team never should have lost a game. My point is that maybe there are other factors that need to be evaluated.

Chaminade seems to lose to high quality out of conference teams more often than not. I can't remember the last time they beat tiny Yorktown. I'm betting they go 1-5 against WM, Manhasset, Yorktown, Pequa, Greenwich and Delbarton.

Seniors should play especially on offense
