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

The past few years you guys have always been ripping each other (the other grade) without cohesion.

As far as goalies, Last year in the big game JV A the two goalies split, no. So do you ha e 3 or 4 goalies?

The goalies should transfer to Kellenberg. Much better school and will have a ton of playing time.

Before you bash the kids - remember, BOTH senior backups are committed. Name another High School team where not 1 but 2 back-up goalies are committed? Both are really good. They have 3 top-level goalies - but only 1 can play. Which again leads to why HS lacrosse doesn't mean that much...

Senior 3rd string goalies father has been a complainer for years.

Are you saying there are 5 quality goalies on varsity, HOORAH!

How many goalies do the JV teams play. Do the back ups get any playing time?

So there are 2 seniors that are committed to Manhattan and Wesleyan. Junior is committed to Duke and starting. 2 committed sophomores 1 to Notre Dame (reclass) 1 committed to Furman. So I would say that is 5 quality goalies in the program. I don't t think the sophomores are on varsity.

Before you tell people what to do - remember their are THREE senior backup goalies.

Watch it there partner those cowboy boots ain't just a dooshy affectation . Them pointy toes can hurt you

You have two senior goalies who are committed to play D1 lacrosse, but still have never gotten their chance on the Chaminade Varsity. As juniors they sat because there was a Notre Dame committed senior playing ahead of them. Now they are seniors and have to watch as a Duke committed junior plays instead. Whether it is right or wrong, fair or unfair, I totally understand why they would be disappointed.......Why don't we leave it at that and move on?

Well put.

Lets not include the 2 committed Sophomores (one of which should be a Jr and re-classed because of the Current starter). How many Jr goalies are there? Didnt they use 2 goalies last year and is it true last year they split time. Not going to say you split time on varsity, just curious if they split time last year on JV. Did the goalies split time on JV last year?

Does the Sophomore re-class split time with the other committed sophomore goalie on Jv?

One of the sophomore goalies from last year transferred back to Massapequa. He is committed to Lehigh.

Observation: I hear alot about this one's commited, that one's commited. I've seen plenty of commited kids, both boys and girls, that just don't impress me. So that really doesn't hold water.

On the JV A team the coaches have made the effort to get all the goalies some playing time.

St. Anthony's used to be the same. But now there is is dozens pulled up. Some dot play much, philosophy is off imho.

This is a Chaminade not St Anthony's thread. Open a new thread for that of you want

Till then it about Chamimade. All players see time, you say, you were careful not to say in every game. Last year the goalies split even the most challenging games. This year or even last year on freshman did more than one goalie play against St. Anthony's. Last years JV A had committed goalies, well at least one was last year. And they still split time. Not sure 2019 Chaminade goalies ever split time against St. Anthony's.

With that logic and the 2019 goalie committed to Notre Dame will the 2019 goalie play over the Duke goalie or will they split time. (Probably not you don't split the on Varsity unless a blow out)

Hey blog police. It's a comparison to Chaminade. I'll comment as I wish.

Personally I don't think you can compare the schools now. Especially if one now pulls up a dozen kids. You can say one school varsity is better because they play the games... but you can't compare Chammy Fresh to SA fresh. Or you can't compare the sophomore classes. You used to be able to predict the future between the two but if you don't have a child on either team you won't be able to predict a thing.

When will Chammy start pulling up kids, next year just in time to drive 2018 crazy,. The first grade that should have been moved up

FYI Chaminade parents you are just another good team on LI, no ones is kissing the ring.

Please, stop observing, you don't know what your looking at.

Isn't that why the kid re-classed in the first place?

So what are the chances for this Saturday's Reg's Rock match up? Saw GC v Manhasset this past week and Manhasset seemed to have some strong attackmen and one particularly strong midfielder (along with some other decent midfielders). But their defense seems undersized, more interested in waving their sticks than feet/body position, and reluctant to be physical. I think that will be an issue against Chaminade and our bigger attackmen. They seem to have only one defender who can deal with size and strength. The reverse is true with our defense on their attack: we will physically dominate the smaller Indians' attack. Any thoughts/comments?

What position do you play young man? Nice to see a player on here and not a parent. You are a player right? You said "we" so I can assume you're actually part of the team and not some parent who THINKS he is on the team. Any way good luck kid.

Manhattan , lax program is absolutely horrendous. they could use a cardboard cutout to play goal. D1 recruit ???? wow.

Really? You're bashing a kids commitment? What a loser. You probably got cut from hop scotch and table tennis in 12th grade. What a DI#K!!

C'mon, you invest all that money into Cham to wind up at a school like that??? Give me a break and stay public, anyone can go there. Lax program is the bottom of barrel.

Wow, so nicely put- lax daddy who did nothing academically or athletically since high school in the 80's.

Wait, I'm selling you short - you led your sanitation department softball team in most beers chugged in a single inning.

Like it or not, the kid is a D1 collegiate athlete at a school that counts Rudy Giuliani and ray Kelly as alumni. It's about this kids future, not your past.

SMH

whoa...maybe the post was to try silence the Dad who keeps saying "play the Senior" and bashing the Jr.
and Manhattan? come on....

Manhattan has a very strong alumni base in the NYC area, specifically in finance.

and engineering.


Now I think the Duke bound junior Goalie is better, but The Manhattan bound Goalie will do just fine there.
He'll be playing lacrosse for a few more years. good for him.

This board would be better served encouraging these kids to pursue their skill sets; seek out opportunities; and take advantage of those opportunities as they are presented to them.

What is wrong in the life of this miserable POS that he/she can't appreciate and celebrate a kid being selected to play at the next level?

Most chaminade kids are tools. Just like there parents.Most kids go there either because they are odd and awkward and have no friends in public school(Evan Hansen), you live in a town where there are minorities in the schools and you can't stomach the thought of sending your kids there, you are an elitist (generally applies to the attorneys) most of whom are really not that good.Or your kids are such gifted athletes you have to send them there to play the only other competitive catholic school on the island(St Anthony's)Yes your kids are drinking and smoking weed just like every other kid,the difference is they travel 50 miles to do it.

And the [lacrosse]hole comment of the week goes to this bitter little man, sure your wife looks good standing on the stoop watering the lawn in your white undershirt smoking a Marlboro. Good luck in life, please put a plastic bag over your head and end it so your kid has a smattering of a chance.

I'm going to edit this person's post line by line.


Most chaminade kids are tools.
(Good sentence structure, however proper names must be capitalized- Chaminade. Also, this contains an overstated and unsubstantiated generalization-- or--- personal opinion)

Just like there parents.
(Not a sentence) also (THEIR not There)

Most kids go there either because they are odd and awkward
(generalization & you forgot the coma after odd) (Either/or- probably could be 2 sentences)

and have no friends in public school(Evan Hansen),
(not sure about the hansen reference, also poor coma usage) (should be "odd, awkward, and have no
friends")

you live in a town where there are minorities in the schools and
(should be a new sentence. you switched from third person personal pronoun to second person- be
consistent!) (are we talking about me or the kids)

you can't stomach the thought of sending your kids there,
(again, poor pronoun usage does "there" refer to Chaminade or the town HS?)

you are an elitist (generally applies to the attorneys) most of whom are really not that good.
(You probably should have closed the parenthesis after good--- you are referring to attorneys and not
elitists)

Or your kids are such gifted athletes you have to send them there to play the only
(why?) (Finally,here is the "or", but now you've switched from second person pronoun to the kids of the
second person- very confused!)

other competitive catholic school on the island(St Anthony's)
(again, proper names must be capitalized - Catholic)

Yes your kids are drinking and smoking weed just like
(You forgot the coma - should be "Yes, your kids....)

every other kid,the difference is they travel 50 miles to do it.
(Period after "kid". new sentence) (.... and you are back to third person again?) (Also, "every other kid"
is poor word choice- should be "many other kids")

Fact check: Summit, NY is 50 miles west of St. Anthony's and Montauk is 50 Miles to the East.



Grade: D-minus (extra credit given for using letters instead of grunting)


In sum, you don't like Chaminade kids for several reasons.

HAHAHAHA, great work (but you spelled comma wrong) a true and fantastic post. Post of the week, to you sir!! Touche

HAHA but you spelled douchey wrong.

Dear Chaminade,

Beat Pequa tomorrow!

Sorry about the comma.
