Your crazy, I.M has been s staple on that team causing havoc to goalies down low, even when M.B. was there. C.Q. is a ball hog that takes poor shots when she should pass instead, probably why D.G. wouldn't play her. In the end , if she was half as good as you say S.A. would have done more last year. She is not even in the same league as L.R., S.P. or even E.B. from the same team, and all 4 are better than S.A.
This response shows that you are clueless and seem to have a bit of a grudge against SA... Sad, but it is your opinion. A grudge against St.A , I'm the one saying two of the best players on L.I. is I.M. and E.B. Both better than C.Q and S.A. and I further think that C.C. and C.B. both from S.H.A. are better than C.Q. and S.A. Neither tried out for school girls (or U-19 by default) so none of you lax aficionados probably even know who they are but should be very heavily considered So two of the best players, in your opinion, play for the catholics and didn't try out for a team where the best competition on LI was playing???... tough to make a case for how good they are... I know nothing about the St. A's players, but yes, not all girls want to get involved with the uber-political Schoolgirls. Those girls are not the only ones who skipped that. Then one might question whether it was because of politics or perhaps the fear of truly challenging themselves against an "uber" competive field of players. This as opposed to the small pond of catholics girls lax players they currently compete against... Maybe the catholic school girls just have a better self image (along with the parents) and don't feel the need to prove themselves to the likes of you

So 47 teams in suffolk played a total of 5 teams from outside N.Y. , and very few from neighboring Nassau. The catholics, on the other hand only have 6 schools but played 10 from outside N.Y. and schools from both Nassau and Suffolk including Manhasset, Carden City, and Farmingdale. So i ask who really plays a "small pond of lax players"?

Athletes who work hard and are competitive strive to be the best and want to play with and against the best! They don't sit at home and say "I'm just as good as those girls, I just didn't feel like playing"! The girls who did tryout and made the teams love to play lacrosse and take every opportunity to compete!!

A little disappointed that teams had to play kids 3-4 years younger at Lax for a Cure. They could of done a better job of putting the younger teams against each other. Some of the younger teams never played each other and they put them in different divisions. My daughter's teammates had two accidental collisions with a much smaller players and both times the younger girls got hurt.

What will be interesting this year is that WB, EI and Hauppauge all move to Class B due to lower enrollment. Now we will have many of the top players going against each other. Should be an exciting spring at the B School level! Eastport, Huntington, Sayville, WB, EI, Hauppauge, Harborfields, Kings Park, Rocky Point...Should be a competitive season. A Schools - WI vs MC Finals in Suffolk, pencil it in now! C Schools - BBP and Mt. Sinai will be an awesome contest! C schools Mt.Sinai is winning it easy BBP has no chance, Yes I said the same thing last year and was wrong but BBP has a 1 in 100 chance of repeating. Eastport lost several seniors who were key players as did Hauppauge RP and Harborfields. Watch out for Huntington and Sayville this year!! Sayville lost coach daughter which is probably a good thing, now others might be able to shoot the ball.

Why does everyone need to stir up trouble on here. "Coaches daughter leaving so now someone else can shoot" What is wrong with you? Stop making trouble. Focus on something positive and productive. Stop looking at what everyone else does wrong and focus on something positive for a change. This sight attracts insecure, whiners. Getting old!

small field of players? last year the catholic schools played : Georgetown Visitation D.C. Vero Beach Fla. Suffern N.Y. sec 1 Severn School Md. St Timmothys Md. Victor N.Y. sec 5 Regis Jesuit Co. Air Accadamy Co. Kent Denver Co. Wilton Ct. Danbury Ct.
While all Section 11 played each other plus New Canaan Ct. Christian Brothers N.Y. sec3 Suffern N.Y. sec1 West Genesee N.Y. sec3 Wilton Ct.

Crickets...
I'm guessing that no one replied because the thread was discussing the individual athletes challenging themselves at tryouts against similar age athletes from other areas on LI. NOT the HS games, scheduled by coaches, where the student athletes have no choice but to compete...

He also will practice more than anyone, so you will definitely get your moneys worth! My daughter loved playing for him and he treated her and all the girls great!

Is it true the YJ's have bought an armored car and had it wrapped in blue and yellow? It's that time of year when moving around all that cash is quite a chore. Un beeelievable.

The public schools are limited with their schedules and can only afford MAYBE one or two games out of conference. It is also a financial issue, The girls usually have to fund raise to pay for the trip! Furthermore, there is way more talent and competition in the public schools. St. A's is the only school with consistent talent in the catholics! All that being said, the discussion was about who were the best INDIVIDUAL players. It is hard to be considered the best if you don't tryout to play with and against the best!

When HS careers end, and these girls go off to a very impressive list of colleges...where are they after college? Have they been able to utilize their college experience to position themselves for a successful career? With all the emphasis on lacrosse, is there time for academics? Where have the past 6-12 years worth of early commitments ended up in the real world?

This committing and all the other BS surrounding it means nothing in the end. Let them play, have some fun, and get a degree. We have been through it and were wound tighter than most. In hindsight we stressed way more than our daughter. She just wanted to play and we just wanted to say she committed. She was smarter than us.

Working side by side at Walmart with your wife. Many of these early commits are driven in all facets of their life and will do excellent on the field and in the classroom. Recruiters and graduate school admission officers are well aware that D1 student athletes make excellent candidates as they are highly competitive and have learned time management . Amazing so many of you jeolous losers are against kids chasing their dreams , sounds as if you have kids who just did not cut it at lax so you need to tear down the kids who are .

Not always wise to push them into a situation where they will be in above their heads. Second, I played in college, division 3, was a great experience, lacrosse did not get me into my college, and I was able to have a well balanced college experience. Third, it has been many years since college, and I can assure you no one asks me on a regular basis if I played lacrosse in college, nor is it something I go around talking about. Like the poster above said, lacrosse is only in my life now because I coach my children's teams. Make sure it is what your child wants, and it is only a part of her college experience, not the thing that will dictate their 4 years. Again, even Division 1 will not parlay into a lucrative career for 99.9 percent of people.

Second, I played in college, division 3, was a great experience, lacrosse did not get me into my college, and I was able to have a well balanced college experience. Third, it has been many years since college, and I can assure you no one asks me on a regular basis if I played lacrosse in college, nor is it something I go around talking about. Like the poster above said, lacrosse is only in my life now because I coach my children's teams. Make sure it is what your child wants, and it is only a part of her college experience, not the thing that will dictate their 4 years. Again, even Division 1 will not parlay into a lucrative career for 99.9 percent of people. We know of some really smart kids that are going to academic schools that are beneath them just because they are feeling some coaches love and being thrown some athletic money...WRONG CHOICE PEOPLE! Make sure it's the right school and if lacrosse fits great. I agree that this committing thing is way out of control and overblown. If your kid has a 100 average, they shouldn't be going to a 80 average school because the lacrosse coach gave them some money.

[quote=Anonymous]When HS careers end, and these girls go off to a very impressive list of colleges...where are they after college? Have they been able to utilize their college experience to position themselves for a successful career? With all the emphasis on lacrosse, is there time for academics? Where have the past 6-12 years worth of early commitments ended up in the real world? Either working in a job given to them by family or working in walmart. [/quote or coaching yj

A 17 blue just committed to Harvard and there's a few more on that team going Ivy as well.

As far as I know I.m. Tried out and made schoolgirls, the first team and under armor. She was also invited to try out for u19 and heard she was down to the last cut. C.q. Made the team . As far as e.b. She's a great player and St a seems like it will be stacked this year especially with their goalie.

Hilarious that some TG losers are in here bashing CR on the college placements of her players when just about everyone of them are going to a school better than Hofstra . Please tell me the fantastic career choices your super academic daughters have picked . Also please tell me the schools that these 100 average kids have picked that are beneath them , you can't because CR does not pressure anyone to go to certain schools .She may have a better relationship with some coaches than others .

CR wanted SS to go to ND so much that she promised SS to them. When SS chose to go to NW CR went nuts.

I have never heard any Blue Chip kid being pressured by CR! I know a lot of them personally including my own! It doesn't happen! In fact she I very careful not to influence the kids! Contrary to what all you TG people think, She is not a monster! She is actually a very nice women! The kids love her! Even some of the TG kids! Give it a rest! You don't know cr or anything about her if you don't think that she pressures her blue chip players to go to certain schools

The kids on the rest of the teams are settling for schools that make them an offer. Some on those teams would be better off going to stronger academic schools and just playing club lacrosse. But if you play travel we all think they must commit!

Name the school she is pressuring kids to go to, or the school that some kid went to that they really did not want to. Have been thru the recruiting process with her , my daughter had many different options and CR personally told me that she stays away from recommending one school over another. All of you who think a kid should base their choice of school strictly on the schools World News ranking are clueless.Your kid should pick the school that fits the best on many different criteria , location, size , academics, cost, social factors and yes lacrosse if they plan on playing.
