Anonymous Unregistered A	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 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.

Way to battle boys! Only Bad coaching can blow a 6pt lead! Not necessarily , Syosset always seems to be a 2nd half team in competitive games. Last year's team was the same way. They just seem to start slow and then all of a sudden come alive. Sometimes I don't think it says anything about the other team it just shows you can't get too comfortable if you think you have a good lead when playing Syosset.

You are a pervert if you don't at least have a kid with you. Why? I was at a football tournament in NJ, an older woman was there, her husband had been a huge contributor to the HS football program in years past. He had passed away, yet she continued to attend. She said watching HS football was the highlight of her year, she had always gone, and always would. By herself, no children/grandchildren of her own in attendance. I would say she was about 65-70 years old. Is she a pervert? Give it a rest.

Faceoff kid was very good. Won a lot of the battles but didn't end up with the ball because of the LSM's? The LSM position is not as strong. Looks like there are 2 under classmen at LSM? freshmen or Soph? Just too small and not mature enough physically to compete on the Varsity yet. They look very tentative and were knocked all over when they went to get the ball.

Seriously, there is absolutely nothing perverted about going to a Youth sporting event without having a kid participating. I will occasionally stop and watch a little tykes soccer match to remind me of how innocent sport can be. I smile when I see the kids smile. I will go to HS games because I enjoy them, and they were a huge part of my life for years. As to the notion of scouting games, I think it is all about age. At the HS level, sure why not......any younger and you are probably taking the whole thing a touch too seriously.

The game between these two should be great. Once CSH beat Syoset it changed everything.

Hope it didn't happen again When you comit to a school , coach is promising you a roster spot IF and WHEN you get in. Getting in , is up to the kid , not the coach. There may be a little curve for an athlete , but not much in the better academic schools.

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.

The OP is asking in mid April, which to me means it was a standard decision time event. Plenty of coaches, especially without scholarships to be determined, will tell a kid "I have a spot for you, and I will push for you, I doubt there will be any problems....make sure you keep your grades up". And the parents hear "you're in".

Anonymous Unregistered A	I also heard this about Haverford. And heard it from multiple people. I personally know of two kids who kept their grades up and both were told by the Haverford HC they were "done" and than didn't get in. One year apparently Haverford only took two of the ten kids they told were "done". Just be careful if you are dealing with Haverford. That's all I'm saying.
