St A 16. SJB 5

Syosset over SWR in OT!

2-1 end of 1st quarter. But way too many horses.

WI won

If I may rant for a minuet. Recently, on both the boys and girls high school threads, I have seen comments to people {being anonymous we don't know the ages or profession of anyone} about attending H.S. games. In some situations an attendee either didn't have a child on either team, or stayed at a tournament longer than some felt appropriate to watch other teams play, or traveled a distance some would see as too far, or voided a game for "scouting" purposes. These people were vilified by others, and even called derogatory names for watching a sport the love. Why is it only lacrosse parents do this. If someone went to watch a football game, or a basketball game between two good teams no one would care or say a word. Who are these parents to hijack a public sporting event and slander people for loving a sport. Are they the same people that complain that Lacrosse isn't popular enough and should receive more attention, while excluding anyone without a direct interest in any particular game. Shame on you for calling someone a "perv" or a "loser" for watching a game they love. I bet you're the same person making March Madness brackets at your office, does that also make you a
"perv" or a "loser" for watching that sport with no child involved. Maybe if we welcomed people into watch our children play the sport we all love it will grow and become bigger, instead of pointing fingers at people and calling fans names.

I understand the point but there was also a point to those responding - if you were at Staples last week it was for a reason. Not just a weekend drive as a spectator to see a game. I am all for seeing a game that is nearbye, but the travel and traffic to staples is a bit much for just watching a game as a fan.

Syosset beat SWR in overtime, overcoming a big deficit and handing the team their first loss. Way to battle boys!

Only Bad coaching can blow a 6pt lead!

In pressed with SJB's Defense. Very good in the 1st and part of the 2nd quarter. But as the last poster, posted way to much for them. SJB's middies played well but attack not very good. If they had a stronger attack it could have been a little closer. The difference in the programs many more quality kids.

I live about a half an hour from Manhasset and i do not have a kid on Manhasset or CSH but was thinking about going over on Monday night to watch the game, would that be OK in your book or should I stay away? not sure were the cut off is.

You are a pervert if you don't at least have a kid with you.

And how about faceoffs?

Delbarton over St. Anthony's today. Summti beat Delbarton in 3OT to start the season and remain undefeated. Bridgewater beat GC and also are undefeated. These 3 NJ teams are very good and can play with anybody. Probably Ridgewood too. Top NJ teams still underrated despite entering top end of national polls and by many on this board.

Only thing your missing is that St. A is not a top team, so the win doesn't prove much

Has anybody heard whether kids were told they would be in Haverford and than didn't get in? I know this has been happening repeatedly over the last 3 or 4 years and just want to know if it happened this year. Amazing that a school that prides itself on a honor code would allow their Men's Head Coach to lie to 17 year olds each year.

Just let me know. Hope it didn't happen again

oh really? Undefeated before this game and ranked towards the top in the country in national polls. But nice try. Delbarton also beat up Malvern Prep who was top 10 or better in national pools.

Kids have ONE shot and one school to apply early admissions. When a coach says your kid is "in" and it has been approved by admissions, you should be accepted unless your grades drop dramatically or you have another extreme problem. "getting in is up to the kid, not the coach" is 100% wrong. You really have no idea what you are talking about. I've been thru this with 3 lacrosse players, 2 boys, one girl, 2 Div 1, 1 Div 3, and if a coach told me my kid was in, and than he was rejected, like it appears has happened at Haverford, I would be beyond upset. I'm just correcting this comment from the writer so no one is misled by someone who's kid obviously hasn't gone thru the process. When a coach says you are "done" and you apply ED, you should be in 99.99% of the time.

D3 Haverford college. No disrespect meant to the Prep School
