| Lacrosse is the nail in the coffin of football for those that understand the concussion issue. |
i played lacrosse in public high school with kids of varying social economic level. VA starts public school playoffs this week, you really should get off your high horse and come out and watch some of them. |
No need to watch. Have it on good authority Yorktown has this in the bag. |
| Just hand Yorktown the trophy at this point. |
This is all cap except for the comment that lots of lax kids have rich parents. |
You don’t say? Of course, even among these schools, there are differences. Landon and Prep are orders of magnitude more expensive than PVI and Gonzaga. Now, if you tell me the basketball and football players at PVI and Gonzaga are full pay, I will have to call BS. |
| I am pretty confident that SSSAS does give our financial aid, but they typically recruit from VA public schools, so the kids don’t have the financial flexibility of many of their Bethesda peers. |
Sorry Biff, or maybe it’s Trey - you know for the roman numerals after your last name, lacrosse is a great game, but lacrosse is irrelevant to football. As long as college football fills stadiums, dominates tv ratings, and gives full scholarships, there will be no nails in any coffins. I’d agree with you that most wealthy families - especially the 1% - won’t let Junior play football, but the 99% will continue. And the kids of the 1% are getting so soft, they’ll squander the family money in no time. Beyond that, Yorktown beats SJC 12-5. Book it. |
Not at SJC |
Landon was good but not great. Prep definitely has players that are not full pays I don't know about PVI but I wonder how you know everyone's financial packages at all of these schools. I seriously doubt you do. Gonzaga was not that good this year. |
I hate to break it to you but people with money aren't always the best lacrosse players. |
| This just in Yorktown beats Sjc 12-5. I thought the score would be worse considering how many STUDS Yorktown has. Congrats Yorktown on the #1 team in the DMV and maybe even the whole country. |
| That Yorktown team is truly special. |
I heard Yorktown gives players athletic money |
| Yorktown is going to be the next expansion team in the PLL. |
