What’s the difference between last year and this year?[/quote]

Coaching

Why don’t you transfer to a school where your daughter will actually get play time rather than complain about the girls that are committed to play in college. Or who have had an injury. You are throwing the team captains under the bus for not having leadership skills to bring the team together. Just stop your whining and attacking of teenagers.

Coaching

You do realize that you are whining about other people whining and also exposing your own bitter insecurities right? I guess its also possible that this was written by a child, You see something you don't have so you ridicule. Got it

Mcd girls throw the best parties. Can’t miss them!

Fake news. 100% not true at all. The issue is culture and the fact that they may not have a team next year. I’m glad my kid is graduating this year or we would be leaving too.

No issue of a toxic culture when my kid played under TC. No time for soft parents or players and my family was ok with that.

So you are the dad that got drunk with kids at the seniors house last year. Grabbing drinks and taking shots with them. We all know who you are. You are doing your daughter a disservice by posting on here.

No her mom was acting like an immature toddler. Actually embarrassing for the daughter, feel bad for her. And trust me NO ONE is jealous of her or her parents.

You all need to start your own page. No one cares about public school lacrosse. When you all get a shot clock and play by IAAM rules then maybe we will listen to your gibberish

2nd wave of AA girls announced including “defender” from John Carroll that doesn’t play defense unless she gets stuck on d. What a joke that event has become!

Thought this was HS Girls Lacrosse not just Private School. There are talented girls at all levels and schools.

Triggered much?

No you are a joke. Kid is one of the top defenders in her class but helps her high school more as a mid. Will be a good defender in college. The girls all know she’s good and top players know they have to play well to beat her. Now go cry to someone else but also know Corrigan isn’t picking the teams.

Garrison is 100% not the issue. She is already going to college for lacrosse so why would there not being a team matter. Clearly there is an underlying reason that this person is with holding.

Private school people really @ChillLaxin.

It’s an issue if you want to play your senior year and compete. Good chance they don’t have a team or lose by 20 every game with the group they have back.

Hopefully no one is arguing that there aren’t really talented girls in public schools but as the hope in this forum is to talk lacrosse and not girls specific(as they also read this and the last thing they need is to be virtually bullied by grown adults), unless of course you are BR and then apparently it’s ok, falling to teams is the easiest. As for teams, right or wrong, there aren’t many public schools that can get a full roster and bench of talent like the private schools can. Therefore, when talking teams, the natural propensity is to discuss the best league. It’s why you don’t hear much about the Norfolk tides unless it directly impacts the orioles.

I’m not sure her college would be excited about her taking a full year off.

Defender that was named to team from JC plays defense in Club, One of the best Defenders in the Country, Plays Mid and attack in HS because that is what team needs. I am not related to her, but have watched her play for years in club, my daughters club team has battled her club team for years. Kid is a great player, high motor. Well Deserved selection. Her, BM Defender and Spalding Defender are legit. BM defender top defender in Country.

It’s ok if the kid acted that way along with her coach and teammates. Video can’t hide what caused it. Spsg feel entitled to do whatever they want. Truth hurts the kid I guess. I’m sure their coach is training them for more tricks for next week. Public school lax is bad. No way the top publics win more that 2 games in Iaam.

Clearly the OP is ignorant and does not have a child committed to play in college. Playing your senior year is extremely important especially when there is no club lacrosse past junior year.

I would put money on the top 2 @ChillLaxin schools (MV and SP) against 75% of the IAAM A schools. MV specifically has half their starting team who was recruited by the top IAAM schools and arguably the best player in the country who is a finalist for USA Today player of the year in the country. SP has a finalist for POY as well. I only see 3 IAAM kids on that list. You should get out from under your rock before making such ignorant comments.

It's been a joke for many years now - sad

To be fair the players you are mentioning are very good but they would not have the same stats in a tougher conference. When talented players play against players of lesser talent (As is the case in almost every public school game) they look like Michael Jordan. When they play against and with other top players, they blend in and would not have nearly the same stats as they would in public. Even the girls that are playing in the IAAM A conference that sit the bench have played since they were in kindergarten. Where the publics fill up their roster with some experienced players but most have never played prior to HS or MS and are there to be part of a team. I mean Severna Park playing Glen Burnie is like SPSG/MV/MCD playing Mt. DeSales. Difference being is that MD would a tough matchup for any public school.

Give it a rest LG.

Have the public coaches set it up and use the shot clock. Not sure publics have more than 2 really good players. Half recruited is a stretch for MV. Their top 2 players are really good. The others wound not play before their junior year at earliest. I think BMS beat Sp and MV and MDS was pretty close.

Ummm NDP just beat AS for their last regular season game.

MV MDS was not close and MV played without their top player who was coming back from injury. Yet still won pretty easy.

As a parent who has had the luxury of having BR as their daughters coach, I can’t say enough good things about him as a coach and leader. He treated my daughter extremely well, built a great team culture and can say my daughter is better for having him coached her. Dont believe the nonsense coming from outside of this team. Although it’s pretty funny, but the non stop insults about him gets old. If he did was he was accused of he would have been fired. But it never happened. So let’s just move on.

You're such a typical private school parent

USA Today list? That goes off of nominations 😂

Any list missing the Visi senior, Good Counsel middie, and UNC daughter, just to name a few, is either incomplete or seriously flawed

The IAAM crowd used to say the same thing on the old Laxpower forum about Alice Mercer and Lizzie Colson. Seemed to work out pretty well for them despite playing the lowest of the low and hoarding stats in high school. I would say 3 or the top 4 (not sure which 3, MV, SP, Glenelg, Century, would make the IAAM playoffs this season. And all 4 of those teams would benefit from a shot clock. The issue with a shot clock in the public schools, is these teams are already winning 20-1, if they were forced to shoot every 90 seconds or 2 minutues the scores would be 60-0. No one wins there.

Each of these schools have good coaching who have been doing it at a high level for a long time, which is hard to find apparently in the IAAM.

The senior? Not the Junior?

NDP just beat AS, so that AS would win big over them is just not true.

Liberty just lost to Gerstell. Cmon publics aren’t good enough to compete with top 8 privates.

“Even the girls that are playing in the IAAM A conference that sit the bench have played since they were in kindergarten. Where the publics fill up their roster with some experienced players but most have never played prior to HS or MS and are there to be part of a team.”

This is the densest comment I have ever heard. You sound so ignorant and elitist. Shut up!!

Take a look at the USA team that competed in the last World Cup- mostly (as in over 80%) were public school kids. It seems to have worked well for them.

Not to mention how snobby it is to say we need to separate the two in a lacrosse discussion. I guess you think money and status allow you to say so. Not shocking!

I would much enjoy a public school forum because we would not be as degrading to kids or have as entitled of parents talk about how everything is someone else’s fault.

MV has the top Junior in the nation. And arguably the best freshman. Those 2 alone are better than half the IAAM teams. They would walk onto any IAAM team and take any spot they wanted.

But yes, they are the anomaly. Other than SP, there aren't any other public schools that could hang.

Of course the Private schools are going to be overall better than the Public schools because they are drawing kids from all over the State (some board kids from other States) & some just because of the lacrosse programs. Public are only getting the kids zoned for their school and also just those that opted not to go Private. It’s a fact. However there are still a lot of talented kids within the Public schools that could easily play from these same Private schools. Lacrosse is big in this area so I get it but school is more than just sports so both Private & Public school kids will be fine. No need to bash either. Just enjoy whichever your daughter is playing and remember she probably has good friends at both so watch what negative things you say because it’s not a good role model to talk bad about others. Lift others up rather than knock others down to feel better about yourself. Plus if your daughter is lucky enough to play in college she will have friends that came from both as well as all over the country. Teach them to get along rather than pit them against each other. Good luck to everyone playing today.
