Anonymous Unregistered A	Happy holidays and New Year to all those people who volunteer their time to coach, manage, organize and positively impact the youth of Westchester. My boys learn so much from their coaches, especially the lessons they will need to succeed and be happy in life. As a coach, I hope that a similar impact is felt by those I am asked to teach and instruct. Thanks again to all those who contribute.

Even if you (correctly) assume more than 3x number of kids on LI play lax than in Westchester, LI still has way higher % of D1 players. Sure, some kids in Westchester are great and some clubs are good and some high school teams kick [lacrosse] but, overall, LI is way bigger, deeper, better.

Three of the top 3 Nassau HSs could easily be accused of being similalry very affluent areas, along with many others. So, that's not all of it.

Anonymous Unregistered A	Wow. . . . It never ceases to amaze me when I read all the vicious posts on this blog, but most of them are reserved for the Long Island or MD forums. The stereotype about Westchester and Fairfield kids being spoiled brats is clearly coming from someone who doesn't know them at all, or has had one bad experience and is generalizing all players from that area into that group. There are bad seeds everywhere, and being spoiled has nothing to do with the socioeconomic bracket that you fall into. It has more to do with the entitled feeling you get from your parents, which has zero to do with income and everything to do with class.

I'm sure that's the first thing college coaches will tell you while they're recruiting all those top laxers from Somers & Mahopac. And I'm guessing they're ignoring the 'entitled' (yes, reclassified & PG) kids from Brunswick, Deerfield, etc. ?? who actually make up the majority of the top D1 rosters of players from Westchester & Fairfield. Those 3 towns you mention are similar, except Yorktown has a rich tradition of lacrosse and a well run youth & travel program, while the other 2 clearly do not. The funny thing is I'm not sure who you're taking a shot at? John Jay? Bronxville ? Rye ? really not that many programs here in Westchester when compared to LI.....

That comes from genetics , Fairfield kids , most westchester kids know daddy will be there to open his wallet and save the day. I will take yorktown and mahopac kids to a rumble. At least they won't run and drive away in their BMW.

The HS lax team is competing in NY Class D this year. Bronxville, per capita, has got to be sending more kids to quality D1 programs than any other school around, LI, CT, NJ or Westchester. No Monmouths or UMASS Lowell either. ND, UNC, Yale, Brown, Harvard etc. And no my kid does not go to Bronxville. Plays at a competing program but you've got to give credit where its due.

Absolutely, and especially give credit on the academic side. Those are typical Prep School recruiting Universities you mention, and Bronxville has to be doing something better on the education side that other public schools are not. It's not just the lacrosse...

I guess on that one particular afternoon Mahopac wasn't ready to rumble with their inherited genetically superior brass balls. But all in all Mahopac had a good year last year, program has been heading in the right direction.

Funny thing is, some coaches encourage that type of play. That garbage doesn't cut it in D1, so lets let that die.

I suggest you watch a good movie , probably a comedy . That comment is pretty funny . another idea would be to watch a good sitcom - one with canned laughter. 70s I woulda suggest odd couple , 80s ALF, 90s Seinfeld.2000s Curb your enthusiasm .

I love a good 80s sitcom. You clearly have never seen them play. They probably would beat most westchester varsity teams this spring.

Let's face it, if any of our kids were good enough to get significant playing time on a team such as Crush you'd be proud as [lacrosse] and would likely already be committed to a D1 school. All that said, few are good enough AND THAT IS OK! Allow your kid to enjoy the game no matter what level they play on.

Much like Paul Bunyon they carry lax sticks (instead of an axe) and they use them to dominate all in front of them. I am told, that when they get ready to play, they all wear the same custom Crush orange neon compression underoos.

Listen when you leave a room , when you leave a field , you will hear laughter. There laughing at you .You know it. The owners of 91 are embarrassed by guys like you. YOU havent done anything , if your son is on Crush that's great for him . Too bad he has you acting like this .Really think about it .
