BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Girls High School Lax

Looks like the big scoring had a 14 point effort in a win by 10

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Opening day in HS lax - how did it go? Any interesting scores?
High School Lacrosse and Newsday are both irrelevant. 90% of the teams on Long Island are not competitive and 90% of the coaches on Long Island are terrible. Selfish players and their parents create problems on the field as well as the sideline. If you are fortunate enough to play for one of the 8 - 10 strong programs consider yourself lucky.

This will not sit well with many of you but... Thank God for Club Lacrosse. Club lacrosse has provided an outlet for many girls from HS programs with weak coaches to be recognized so that they will be able to pursue their passion at the next level. Every college coach that recruited my daughter said that they could care less about HS lacrosse (yes, our HS situation was discussed). They said that they understand and that they saw what they needed to see during the summer. It was my first time around so I asked a lot of questions and it became very clear to me that HS Lacrosse truly is irrelevant. Maybe if your daughter is fortunate enough to play for GC, Manhasset, Mt. Sinai, BBP, ESM, WI etc... and she has a good HS coach and a legit chance to compete it is fun and positive. For many the HS experience is not positive. It is an unfortunate reality but in the end the HS coach, the delusional parents, the selfish players, the statistics, the honors etc are all meaningless and irrelevant. We are grateful that the club experience was positive and that our daughter will attend a great school with a very competitive lacrosse program. We are optimistic and looking forward to a bright future.

A Wheatley player put up 14 yesterday..

Those same club girls are the ones that stat pad like crazy in HS. Why? because most of us don't know what they do on their club teams so they want to make sure the world sees.On the HS teams with weaker coaches they run wild. And Newsday does matter because they all list their HS point totals in their college bios, not their club tallies. KO from SB lists 255 goals in HS and 100 and something point season right below her tewarten nomination

I heard that kid is one of the top kids in the country...needed every goal to win that tight game.

this comment is Ridiculous. The catholic schools are great here on LI. Even I can say that ST Ant's kids are competitive, disciplined, academically strong, seem well mannered when it counts which is not the norm at this age. SJB is a great school as well. Same moral codes and message.
friends there who left public schools are amazed and delighted at the change in their kids/athletes. and mostly, academics is #1 focus there, from the words of the coaches. support is there, also, every day of the week.

It blows my mind but this is true. Been through the process twice, sat, spoke and dealt with many coaches during recruit visits and coaches meetings. They don’t look or care one single bit about HS. Don’t even bother following up with HS coaches. It is 100% club driven process

I heard that kid is one of the top kids in the country...needed every goal to win that tight game.

I call BS......Sure, you "heard" that kid {probably your kid} is one of the best in the country. Go ahead and pound your chest. But don't come on here and call it a close game. 17-7 is NOT a close game. That score is equivalent to a basketball game score of 68-28. If I told you the leading scorer of that blow out basketball game scored 56 of the 68 points, nobody in their right mind would say, "needed every point to win that close game".

CR is one of the most powerful people in the entire sport. Earns way more than most college coaches, carries more weight. runs the tournament circuit, has her hands in all the BS all star games and owns US lacrosse to boot.

And you know what? Delaying verbals until 11th grade is actually great for her and the clubs because it keeps the kids on the hook for another 2 years instead of 8th graders verbaling. Now everyone has to stay really motivated with club until 11th. Clinics Fall ball, tournaments etc ca-ching ca-ching ca-ching

Can just see the proud Papi at the water cooler now..." Funny you should mention the NCAA bball tournament.....my little S--I scored 14 goals yest during a HS lax game....what a talent she is....watching her run the length of the field and score 14 goals is something to see....sure she missed 10 shots too, but her teammates were cheering her every shot as they stood around!"

UHH, the won by 10. Pass the ball

And another Nassau girl put up 10 Goals but at least her team lost in OT and they seemed to need every one of those goals! Let the games begin!

Guess you haven’t been paying attention Port has defeated Syosset in playoffs 2 straight years and has only lost to pequa to prevent county championships last year in ot. Yes they are quality. Graduated 3 D1 players and have 3 more left. Don’t comment if u don’t know.

How did Port do today? How did all the D1 girls fair against Pequa?

Okay, help me out!

Since it is the beginning of the year, Ill say it. How or what can be done if the Newsday stats got it all wrong. In a relatively contested game. Goals are given to players that didnt even come close to the offensive zone and assists to players on defense who didnt cross midfield?

Who is responsible for this. I thought the books of each team need to be verified before the game was called official.

Bring the wize cracks on but I hope to get the real answer as well. We all have the films already so the coach already knows.

Try this.....Drop lax and play in the band.

nailed it...cash cow continues..

Who cares? Honestly are you really concerned? Not a wisecrack , just amazed that people actually care enough to try to have it changed.

Actually most people care and if they are going to put stats in the paper they should at least get them correct. That is why you should have an adult keeping the stats for both teams who should compare the books at the end of the game .It also keeps teams honest about the stats of their players. With your concept why keep stats at all just keep the score of the game.

And here we go........3 months of complaining about.....stat padding, too many goals, too big a scoring margin, no passing, go to goal ball hogs,... all brought to you by some pompous negative fans who need to complain about something.

Why ask here?
Call the coach and ask how stats are kept.
Make sure to let colleges you are interested in that you worry about unfair numbers.
