What is SS?

SS is South Shore, and this mom thinks they are the cream of the crop. They’re not, but it will be fun to watch. Can’t wait for her to see reality.

What clubs do the SS players play for?

What does that have to do with anything, who cares what club team they play for. SMH

So a friend of mine son will be 18 next week, he should've graduated in 2023. However he had his kid go to kindergarten twice, so back then i asked him he said he wasn't mature enough to go to first grade HAHAHAHAHAH. My friend and his wife are both teachers and they were both college athletes. They new at 5yrs old they should reclass him thinking the advantage it would give him being a year older. Unfortunately it didn't pan out he will play in college on the D-3 level which is great but its not what they thought was going to be the outcome.

Reclassing is BadPerson for sure but with friends like you who needs enemies. Who knows why exactly they had their kid “reclass” (I’m not sure I would call it that at age 5) but I hope it wasn’t for athletics. A lot of kids have to be held back or repeat a year for a lot of reasons and it usually ain’t athletics at that age. And you say the parents were athletes; then they would surely know the best time to reclass is not at age 5 but to repeat grade 8 or grade 9. And nothing wrong with d3. I can think of 20 d3 schools is rather go to then the bottom 40 d1 schools.

You’re his friend and you are mocking him? You’re a special person.

What exactly is your point? Are you responding to a particular post?

Starting Kindergarten late, repeating kindergarten, repeating 9th grade, PGing etc... are nothing new. I went to college in the mid to late 80's and had friends/teammates who fell in each of the above categories.

Yeah that seems like a peach of a friend. That “friend” showing all his insecurities about his own kid online. Mocking his so called teacher friend for something that’s so commonplace for kids to hold back when they at very young and then to think that D1 lax is the only goal in life. Feel bad for his kid and the pressure he must put on him and the role model he sets for being a friend.

The guy who wrote the original post is the real pathetic person here. He’s an incredibly disloyal person as well as a pathetic coward, he should laugh in his “friends” face and see how that goes.

Hmmm. Let’s see… based on a little common sense… good clubs have good players. Average clubs have average players. Bad clubs have bad players. Based on your response, we already know plenty about the SS team. lol.

Turning 18 in the Fall of your senior year of high school is pretty normal. To me it does not really count as a "reclass".

Hmm Yes Lets see....If you feel club teams matter so much. There are more SS on the better club teams than GC. In past years GC has been the better team. NOT this year.

South Side HS

Seriously - what a guy. For the record we switched schools after pre-k - my son is a July birthday. New school said he would do better academically as an older student so we repeated pre-k. I had no idea what the lacrosse landscape was. I hope my friends don't tattle on me. By the way, my son is going D3, at a school that most D1 kids can't get in to. I am pretty sure thankfully I don't have jealous friends like you.

Agreed. Those kids have the choice. WSYL use to use 9/1 as the cutoff date (not sure if they still do). I believe that MD schools consider the 9/1 as completely on age. Does anyone know what date most of the MD schools use? Prob not in moot any since I’ve never heard of a kid from MD that went D1 and wasn't a prep kid.

MD schools are 9/1 but it seems like half of boys with summer birthdays start a year late for various reasons. Very few public school kids going D1 from DMV but there are 5-10 each year. Most notable recent one was Brian Ruppel (G Maryland) from Catonsville HS.

Its South Side! not south shore. not a mom. And they are! the cream of the crop this year. deep down you know it.

Sorry auto correct, and you are most certainly a mom, because a man would never write the way you do. You’ll lose to GV badly just an FYI.

What a bunch of Bozos!

I happen to agree with the mom, South Side should be beat GC this year. Loaded with talent and deep.

South Side Mom’s Group has spoken!

If they are so loaded with talent why haven’t they gone further? The 2024’s were on the team last year and they didn’t make the differential . They lost a lot of good talent with their 2023’s including the goalie. The ‘24 goalie is nowhere near as good. So unless they have a younger student goalie coming up they could have a gap there. They haven’t won a title in a very long time. I would say their coaching is an issue as well and should have been changed years ago. But time will tell.

With St A's moving out of the Catholic League will they still play Chaminade 2X a yr?

St Ants is moving to where? I didn't hear that.

They are not. Next.

Before covid they where said to be moving to a Private School Schedule, sounds like its happening now.

Again. Trust me. Not happening. LI public schools aren’t competition for the Catholics. Manhasset and GC and wherever can blow their horns but they aren’t.
That being the case they are going nowhere.

They are on Lawrenceville 2024 Schedule. Trust Me

That's a prep school. St Ants plays prep schools every year. That's nothing new.

I understand your frustration over your situation. You’re paying $50k to buy your way on to what’s historically been an Allstar team on LI and a pipeline to top D1 schools. Heck, you’re already paying $25k+ in public school taxes which you don’t even use. Now it looks like it’s all going to be for not, since both the Catholics are in for an off year. Yeah. I get it! It’s true, past performance doesn’t guarantee future results, and 2024 is about to be a vivid reminder of that. St A’s has been king of the island the past couple years, but that team is now long gone. And the pipeline doesn’t come anywhere close to being able to replace those key players. Chaminade has been solid last couple of years, but definitely not elite. They will also be knocked down a peg this year. Simply, the majority of the top talent in ‘24 decided to play for their high schools. As a result, 2024 will see public schools take over the top spots this year.

You obviously have no clue what you're talking about. Your entire statement is void.

Ahhh. Still in the denial phase. I get it. Acceptance will come. Give it time.

In your define wisdom what Public School will be taking over the top spot?

According to the RVC Moms Group it's South Side all the way.

If you know anything about the subject matter that you are arguing about, then you already know the answer to your question.

SS lost to GC by 1 goal last yr. the 24s did all the work. GC 23s did all the work for them. SS 24 Goalie is REAL good no holes there. GC/Holy Cross offense is weak and will be shut down. SS fogo may be one of the best in country. Moms club has spoken!

GC will have a off year very Over Rated that being said SS always underperforms. MHS Moms Club!

ST A keep playing babyball or ready to step up with a shot clock, dont get it

You are delusional! I would love to see some proof on that. Who scored all the goals? How many saves did the ‘23 goalie make? If the ‘24 goalie is so good why didn’t he play last year? Oh, because the ‘23 goalie was superior. SS is playing a much easier schedule than last year so they can pump their chests. They still won’t win it all!
