US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) CHAMINADE Lacrosse. Stories and news.

If sophomores have been brought up, where did the upperclassmen go? Or do they plan on having 65 on the sideline? What the [lacrosse], three buses for away games. LOL

word is the sophs are replacing many of the starters while playing the soft part of schedule to prepare for championship

To all you naysayers who said the Chaminade "system" of having only Jrs and Srs on varsity would never change. How you like dem apples? Times are a changin' big time. And it's a healthy thing, not something to be afraid of and to protect an outdated philosophy. Traditions are meant to be broken. Enjoy those Soph parents cheering their studs on that varsity field while the Sr parents stew about the bad decision of moving to Chaminade just for lax. LMFAO.

What championship? Can Chaminade play for a championship if they don't win many games? If so, it confirms what a mess the Catholic league is.

Forget the tradition of playing only Jrs and Snrs. One of the traditions that should be broken before bringing up sophomores is the tradition of playing the exact same offense and style regardless of who is on the team. If you don't have a Cerrone or Bonefede, kids with great first steps and enough strength to run through defenders, then don't run an offense that requires that.


I've watched two full games and I don't think they have a single goal from an unsettled attack. Everyone is afraid to step outside the game plan. Turnovers by the opponents always seem to get fed back to the goalie to begin a clear.

I hope the sophs coming up light it up, if they don't it's going to create some interesting dynamics.

Dont mention a kid by a number and dont narrow it down so its impossible to not determine who your speaking of.

Why would Chaminade coach want to cancel todays game vs Doms on turf allegedly due to poor weather? It stopped raining well before game time!

FYI no Sophomores moved up. Everything was status quo at Chaminade. All players were practicing with their respective squads. No one moved from any teams.

Did I miss something, the so called great team won by 1 against ST A. With 2 kids up.

The way it should be. Although some sophomores show talent amongst their own age group. Playing varsity is a huge step, and they are not likely to stand out or play any better than the current starters. Just because Ty Xanders has mentioned you, it does not mean you will make any impact on a varsity squad. There are maybe 2 players at Chaminade now who could be college All-Americans. Otherwise a very average bunch, not to be compared with stars of the past!

Are you suggesting that Ty Xanders doesnt know everything about high school lacrosse? Blasphemy!

Anything to say? Apparently everything is staying exactly as it was. Have some hot sauce with your crow.......Like the previous poster said, one of the more obnoxious groups around.

listen we all know this years senior class over at chaminade doesn't have what takes to lead a team and win a title this year. they just can't fulfill what the seniors before them did.

DELETED best defenseman in St. Doms history

yes you did, were you at the game - big factor changed from 1st half to second half.

Playing Varsity is not a "huge step" 9th and 10th graders are playing on just about all of the top public teams.

Ward Melville beat Chaminade Varsity with three freshmen and three sophomores on the field. They also play for the same club teams as many if the Chaminade soph's. Not a stretch to say some of the Chaminade soph's would have a positive impact on the varsity.

It is unfortunate but true, in this day and age High School Lacroose is no longer the most competitive outlet for scholastic age kids.

The top club teams on Long Island draw the top players from many of the top High School teams.

The top 91 and Express teams have some of the best players from Syosset, Massapequa, Ward Melville, Manhasset, Chaminade , St Anthony's, and others. The teams that they compete against have the best players from other areas around the country. Many of the 9th and 10th graders on these teams start and contribute on their respective varsity squads.

that was a response to the comments that SA had 3 freshman pulled up to JV. They replaced 3 sophs who got pulled up to Varsity. Chaminade had their full compliment of sophs at the JV OT game

Was not insinuating that Chaminade was pulling up sophs. Sorry if I mislead you

well that's ok.
they will before you know it

If St. A's is starting to pull up Sophs its only a matter of a few days or weeks before Chaminade starts to relax and do the same thing. They need to stop being so uptight that they squeak when they walk - and I'm not talking about their shoes. Relax, the apocalypse won't start when there are 3 sophs running up and down the field for Chaminade varsity.

Chammy/Doms today @ Chammy....big game for both

Really big game..Besides Anthonys vs Chaminade there are no other Catholic league games. Everyone else are schedule fillers. Sorry just being honest

Sorry Dad, you knew going in that wasn't the way they run the program.

Even if the sophs are miles ahead of the seniors? Antiquated and it's no longer working.

If the Pope can show flexibility on many historically taboo issues, so too can Chaminade lax show some flexibility. It's going to happen, just a matter of when. Otherwise the parents will be crawling all over the administration there to make it happen. Especially if the team is losing left and right. Since when is a game against Dom's a "Big game". Are you kidding? Things much change if the market forces demand it to.

Not such a big game after all. St. Doms...not so much

What a tool

OHHHHHH BOYYYYYYYYY. Entitled much?

Just beat Manhasset (home of the one-sport-athlete)

So not only are you making totally irrelevant Pope analogies, youre actually suggesting that parents will go to the school administration to force the lacrosse coach to bring up sophomores? Im sure that will work out great for your kid.

So sorry. I predicted Chaminade 15 Doms 6. Was actually 13-4. And to the moron that predicted Doms 12 Chaminade 5, don't quit your day job and go to Vegas anytime soon.

I was at Chaminade vs doms game
Never saw so many unhappy parents on a winning side
One dad sitting behind chant bench in stands so coach know he's angry that his kid isn't playing
Doms are class act
Only 20 or so kids
Parents good fans
With one exception a guy who ONLY cheers for his kid
In doms side the worst aspect of a great sport

The Indians are going to crush Chaminade into Lemonade. Minimum 10 goal difference.

Moron? I think not. Got your panties in a big ole bunch... Love you Chammy guys, so easy to play. Enjoy your win, have a drink, relax. Believe me the kids care way less than you do.

Kids may care less. But you're still a moron.

Ok, maybe not a moron but obviously not someone you would go to to have a knowledgeable chat about Long Island lax. Moreover, I have always found that it is the public school guys are easy to play. They truly believe the conferences they play in are actually good.

Hahahaha. Amazing wit in your retort... I love it. Be careful another L is looming... Don't get too puffed up about the Doms win.

No worse than the 2-team joke they call the Catholic "league". Enjoy the beatdown that another small public school is about to deliver to Chaminade tomorrow. Despite the "poaching" that Chaminade does to the Manhasset program, this won't be pretty.

would that Doms parent be 'the whistler"?

Think so
He coaches, refs, calls plays as in pass the ball to guess who
Yells same kids name every play

Hey moderators you should rename this the forum the Public School Dad's Chaminade Haters Club. Very strange how much people resent families that choose Catholic education. Lot of hate (and perhaps jealousy) not much real lacrosse talk. Not sure why but wow.

Lemonade? Huh? Better teams than 'set have beaten Chaminade by 1 or 2 but not crushed. It wouldn't surprise me if the Injuns win but 10? that would shock me.
