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

Same goes for St Anthony's, but go ahead plan a trip to Carolina next year. Hope those out of state games validates your self proclamations. Love to see them play top 5 or 6 LI teams.

Tell your HS. St. Anthonys several open days and flexibility on the schedule. Say what you want about the program, but if any HS on LI calls they'll play them. It's not up to then to prove anything especially since no other team on LI would go near Darien, Niscayuna, Staples, DeBarton or Yorktown in the same year. Friars do, no mater if it's an up or down year.

So let's talk about this particular article in Lacrosse Insider. It was covering the Ward Melville vs Chaminade game which we all already know.The title of the article :

This is one of the most incredible HS goals we have ever seen. I was hooked by the title right away. I wanted more had to click on it.

What's amazing about the article is the player who threw the inbounds pass. Remember the inbounds pass lol. Gets more ink and detailed write up than the player that actually scored the goal. This is the article below. After reading something just doesn't seem right here.

"The play; with Chaminade having possession of the ball with 5.9 seconds left in the half, trailing Ward Melville 7-4, Chaminade coach Jack CoachMor called for timeout.

The Flyers' (players name) who is headed to Yale after decommitting from John's Hopkins and who wears the prestigious No.19 this season, cleanly fed the inbounds pass to (players name)with about two seconds to go.

"(Players name) knowing he didn't have time to set and shoot, fired a spectacular over the shoulder behind the back shot that got past WM goalie with no time left on the clock.

Just think about it the player who scored the so called, "One of the most incredible HS goals we've seen "just gets a brief mention. Yet the kid who threw the inbounds pass gets all the ink. His number, school he decommitted from and where he's going.

Daddy making sure he gets recognition any way he can.

The catholics have a lot of flexibility to play teams from NY, CT, NJ, PA. The LI publics are restricted by sec 11-Suffolk and sec 8-Nassau as to the number of games they can play and have virtually no flexibility (typically 2 games outside the section). So, can we stop with the requests for games/matchups that should happen and that some schools are "ducking" games. Please get informed.

Exactly so when there are easily 5 teams from Suffolk A, 5 Teams from Suffolk B/C and 5 teams from Nassua that can be chosen. There are a lot of choices. The LI school will is up 1 NL to play one of the two. Don't see the issue you are referring to.

Splitting hairs for Chaminade, they could throw in another Suffolk team. Already plays w Nassua teams in Manhassett and Massapequa.

St. Anthony's no reason not to play Ward Melville in season and another Suffolk like Hills East (not as close as West but a relative home.gamenfor.either schoool). Next year would be great to see Smithtown West take on the friars. Take Syosett and Manhassett off the schedule. Add some fresh LI talent. Not like these coaches don't know who will and won't be the better teams. But go south, go take these boys on an extended trip. Good luck with that, not a gamble I'd take for their futures.

So St A's should take long time games against some usually strong Nassau teams just to play the Suffolk teams that you think may be good. How did SW do against SE the last few years. So now SW can finally win a game against SE and you want St A's to schedule them. Geez.....please stop your nonsense. The schedules aren't made to make you happy. Maybe you should have your AD approve travel down south to play some different teams and worry about your own team.

Exactly, now you get it! Yes, you are supposed to change your schedule to play the toughest schedule. It's not like you dont know the teams that will be strong or have a down year. You are again right in that the schedules arent to make me happy, but to challenge your team. I dont care if you go out west or south, would be great experiences, just be prepared. Probably best to do that in 2020.

I also feel you should plan for tougher LI teams. Maybe at least get 3 on the schedule, and 3 CT, 1 upstate, 1 Westchester, 1 NJ, 5 catholics. Leaves room for 2 out of region games.

You do a great job setting up a challenging schedule, but everything can always be improved.

LI publics, I am confused. Massapequa can play 5 out of conference games. How is it, that they came play 5 OOC games, but you are talking only two are allowed?

LI cath, yes you are confused. The quandary is hopefully you chose parochial for the very structured force feed education that some students benefit from and you should be commended for that. However getting caught up in the over hyped Lax world is a miscalculation on your part.

The question was about Massapequa and other section 8 programs. You did not answer the question. Instead you came across as offering a backhanded compliment/insult. Why? The question was not worthy of a pot shot.

The answer to the original poster's question is that Sec. 8 permits 5 OOC games while Sec 11 permits 2.

To the responder .....Don't minimize this possibility... Maybe they chose parochial (assume you mean Chaminade / St. Ants/ or Kellenberg) because they value a faith based education emphasizing the whole person. I assure you that not everyone goes to these schools for lacrosse- and not every lacrosse player is there just for lacrosse either.

Thin skinned Lad you are and the point hopefully not at the top of your head is the # of OOC games in " LI publics " are due to numbers in Nassau & Suffolk A. Simply stating you can even look said numbers up the and do the math.

OK Yoda,

Not thin skinned- just pointing out that you took liberty with a reasonable question (Pequa's ooc games) and somehow made it a pot shot on a completely unrelated topic (parochial schools).

Then I gave the answer.

Then I pointed out a very likely flaw to your misguided cheap shot.

If your answer was simply a matter of innocent but poor reading comprehension skills (yours) then I apologize. However, If as I suspect, you were being a determined jerk, then it was noticed and I took great pleasure in exposing you for the hammerhead that you are.

Now back to real lacrosse talk.
OK terrific jerky

Nassau(8) allows 5 OC games, Suffolk (11)just 2.

Thank you for this answer. Yes I saw it (by doing the math) and was truly confusidid, just like the new B/C div II in Suffolk. But to the other jerk, okay I get it. I thought i knew a lot about NY lacrosse, but never thought there was an OOC disparity between Nassua and Suffolk.

Is this a conversation for the summer state meetings or is this just a section XI conversation. This has got to change. It is good XI has some sort of ranking component but really, playing the last place teams for the 6-10th placed teams is not good. Those teams should not have to be forced to play the bottom 4 or 5 teams that doesnt help them. 2 or 3 maybe Let them go OOC to get a better challenge.

Make Sect XI great again!!!

No competitive team wants to play. There has got to be a level of sportsmanship and competitive drive. and playing these teams does nothing for ranking it can actually be counterproductive.

How bout just relaxing and let “kids” play a “kids” game. The last thing they need is the Roger Goodell of LI lacrosse. You’re ridiculous and sad!

Ronan Clooney, an amazing attackman from Chaminade has just committed to Fairfield in the 2019 class. This kid flew under the radar for a long time, but is finally getting the respect he deserves.

When are freshman tryouts?

Congrats. Fairfield is a great campus, good location good school especially in Finance. Lax team and program is marginal. Hopefully you chose the school for the school and did not go there for Lax. Coach will change over the next four years as well. Good luck.

Predictions for the coming year for Chaminade?

How is St. Dominics lacrosse?

really, St. Dom's? That ship has sailed 2 years ago. Will they be playing any fall games on the island to double down on that. Next you'll ask about SJB and St. Mary's

SD has good coach who is looking to build program-- after years of sub-par coaching with folks who didn't know d--k....but they will always be restrained due to the fact that they are smaller Catholic HS that has deep problems with enrollment thus causing problems getting players who can lax...only so much success they can have with limited #'s. If your son is a decent player who can hold his own with other "larger" schools talent, then he will be fine with much playing time. If he is middle of road, then he will be fine too because there is no depth and he will play a lot.

I have no idea what your trying to say, I asked a simple question. Just want to find out some info on how competitive St. Dominics lax is. If you can not provide a useful answer, please keep your ridiculous comments to yourself.
