BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) High School Lax Boys

And your kid plays for who ????? Ok let me guess....top rated academic HS with numerous Intel science winners, Ivy school admits and a state champion lax team full of top 10 lax commits where all the parents are happy and none complain about the coach.....

Now reality......your son cant make either team so he plays at a low level public school.

Why is the catholic league a mess. St Anthonys was supposed to be bad this year. As or the jv teams that was club parents talking up Chaminade. Both jv programs would dominate 80 percent of varsity teams on long island. As for varsity programs they are opposite of public school programs. Both teams play a few easier games then the toughest schedule out there. Public schools play easy schedules with a few descent games. No public school would subject their teams to the schedule these teams do.

Public schools are only allowed 16 contests so they can only schedule a couple of non league games.

My point being public schools wouldn't play that type of schedule even if they could. Chaminade and st Anthonys could set up their games to go undefeated every year they play very hard schedules and the teams that see them at the end of the year will see different teams than at the start of the year. They play one game a year that matters but they play an extremely tough schedule so people can post about their loss

Anybody know the complete seedlings for Suffolk A this year?

WM losses to a better WI team by a few goals. 8-6 -r 9-7 not sure.

WM coach deserves all credit, again. he has a very decent team but his decision making is poor, bordering on horrible...

WM coach insists on second middy line being all sophs--all good/great kids and all committed, but none have ability to make a move, dodge, and score at this level, out weighed by 20 pounds. ... completely insane...maybe try a senior and see what happens??? Insane...

FO---the WM coach has three committed kids at x FO, but instead puts in the all american wrestler for the last five, down a few goals...clearly, the coach hasn't changed with the times...coach-FO important now...60 -40 is better than a 50 50 ground ball, ask Syracuse, better yet, ask umass? where you played...

Coach-

Just a poorly managed game. Is it possible that you take a minute and re-evaluate? You have a chance this season to win, but not if you make the decisions you made today. review the tapes, look at the replays, make sure the best are playing...or, stick to your guns and manage based on your relationships and the kids paying your summer tuition

WM-Good luck. Watch the tape!!!!

Wow shots fired......

Sachem north 1-4
Sachem east 2-4

Just combined teams already and make
1 team.

Nice win for WI. Cold temperature made playing difficult.

Can you just relax regarding the WM Coach. It was a good game by two very evenly matched teams. AND two good coaching staffs. It is early in the season. I am pretty sure 'I am trying to lose' - said no Coach ever.
Adjustments will be made, kids will learn and improve....life will go on. Nobody died today on that field. Have a little perspective!

Well, lets also remember that WM played 4 solid quarters until the final horn.....WI stood up and cheered when they took out one of the WM players.

Class Act

Losers lament

Yes that was it. They were cheering for injuring a player, not the fact that he got up and walked off the field by himself. Idiot.

Nice win for WI. Cold temperature made playing difficult.

It is my understanding that when the senior all American wrestler came in as a FOGO the score started changing... Not sure if I understand your point. I think if they let him play the field there would have been a major difference in possession certainly and defense too. It was the first time he played all year and there was a swing in momentum when he did. Are you suggesting that the other FO kids should have been used instead because of their college commitments?

Another Daddy crying about his upperclass kid not getting playing time.
What a joke. Your superstar isnt getting it done on the practice field.
Coaches want to win....especially vs. WI. Great rivalry. Its a players game. Recruited FO's couldnt beat WI at the X. FO at WM has been a problem since 2013. AA wrestler made it a scrum & it worked, good coaching move. WI is WI....tough team not to be over-looked. Its a long season, keep working hard everyday. FWIW, its easy to figure out which
parents are on here bashing the coaching staff....support the team instead of bringing them down.

We like the all american kid and agree he should be on the field...just not a fogo-I am not even close to saying the other fogo kids should have played because they are committed-but very much saying that the all american isn't as good at it as any of the other three.

Now, if you were losing every fo (think about that kid from sme we will face in a couple of weeks) and you put him there to battle, like a long pole-excellent coaching move, but that was not the case yesterday.

To your point about "momentum" -he didn't win possession as much as any of the former players, nor did he score nor was he given the opportunity to play defense. Having him run on the field and run off after losing possession is just foolish and poor coaching.

I completely agree the all american kid is an asset the coaches let sit on the side line when his size and strength are the exact attributes the team needed yesterday at middie. I also think he would have been a very strong fit during sachem n game and agree that the outcome could have been different if the coaches let him play yesterday (four or five or even 10 other boys in exactly the same position). Same old political nonsense in our happy little town.

I am not attacking any of the wm players.

We at WM have been watching these boys for ten years and we all know each of them, their strengths and weaknesses and when they are on and when they are not. If some kids weren't on, weren't strong enough, couldn't hit the cage, why not see if one of the other kids sitting on the bench were on, were strong enough, were hitting the cage. You and I agree that yesterday, the all american should have been playing (a lot).

the WM coaching leaves a lot to be desired and while some might say too early to pick on the coach (fair point), my opinion is that the team has an opportunity to actually compete for LI championship this year, so giving the coach a pass on a poorly managed, poorly coached game against WI is wasteful and harmful. And if we were all being honest, we would admit that sachem and commack were close games that could have gone wrong.

WM is still coaching as if the two all Americans from last year were on the field. They are gone -get over it and coach the very evenly talented 42 kids you have.

there is not a kid on that team that isn't as good as the other 41, so if fogo by committee, why not middie by committee or attack by committee or d by committee??? Unlike all the recent past years, we have a pretty even talent pool. Someone will undoubtedly say they are building team chemistry-to that I say bs-these boys have all been playing together for years, pal, travel, in house...they know each other well.

for the record, my boy was in all his normal shifts and didn't have a great day. If I were coaching, would have replaced him in that game for another kid...one of several. getting pulled for having a bad day is exactly what this team needs.

we all have to pay 200 for this stupid video service-my kid uses it-suggest that the coaches do the same...

the only people that will disagree with the above are the parents of the other 14 or 15 kids that always play no matter how poorly they are playing. the parents of all the other 26 equally talented boys watching and freezing on the side, will entirely agree-

I am with them....

So you're saying that WM has a team of completely equal players? No single player is better than the other 41? That's amazing! Or, you're just completely insane. If playing on the summer team is making the difference in playing time, then play on the summer team. If playing on the summer team helps the boys better understand the coach's offense, then play on the summer team. If playing on the summer team strengthens the coach's faith in particular players (thereby putting them a step above the 41 other equals), then play on the summer team. Or just complain that the world is unfair and no fault lies on you or your son.
