2023 Boys Private School Results /Game Schedules/ Commentary

[Anonymous]

STA is strong this year, most likely the best team the school has had since the 2014 team.

I don't think any IAC team or any team for that matter will take them lightly. Agree that playing 4 games in 5 days is pretty grueling for any team, especially STA who historically has never had much depth.

Who did they lose to last night in Texas?

4 Highland Park 8 3 87.91
5 Westlake 5 2 87.57
6 Episcopal Dallas 5 2 86.52
7 Dallas Jesuit 5 4

It’s a different level of lacrosse.

I guess you meant it is better lacrosse?

Looks like STA beat Southlake, Dallas Jesuit and Episcopal, and lost to St. Marks. It was an ambitious spring break schedule with 4 games in 5 days.

And they were missing their LSM (Penn) and best defenseman (Cornell) for the last game. IF everyone gets healthy they will be solid.

Poor scheduling by Heeter for scheulding 4 games in a span of 5 games while in Texas. The Lone Star state probably has more gifted athletes playing the sport for fun than your "club lax bro". Texas lacrosse is much more physical than what you would see in the DMV. Playing 3 games in a row is a recipe for disaster and a good way to get players hurt.

The LSM headed to Penn should be back in a week. The player headed to Cornell could be out for most of April.

StA did the same things last year, playing a ton of games over spring break in North Carolina and losing the last one. Then they played Bullis the day after playing St. Andrew's (which they nearly won) a week later.

The HC's club background really showing here - maybe this is the year he learns that playing a bunch of 40 minute running time doesn't matter club games in the Bro Lax Naptown Ultimate Elite Championship is not the same as playing too many real games without kids having time to recover.

Varsity games are very different than middle school club games. These kids take a beating on varsity. The game is faster, more aggressive, there is far more contact, and much bigger hits. It naturally takes longer to recover.

And doing it all with no real attempt to play (let alone) develop a bench. Not sure what level STA could get to but know they will never sustain anything because they will likely get run down. They run out of gas in games and across the season (and sustain injuries) bc they don’t find a few extra kids to help off spread the minutes. We have beaten them bc of it! Pattern repetition is a strong instinct and frailty among many coaches.

Ok, this is just dumb, or we now have Texans posting here. In no universe is Texas at this point equal to the DMV. They are athletic but definitely not skilled. At the end of the day, this sport is about catching and throwing the ball and sticking it in the back of the cage. Period. How big, strong or fast you are can help amplify wherever you might be on the main elements of the sport but they can't compensate. Maybe in 5-10 years we'll see the TX schools competing against St. John's, McDonogh, Chaminade or St. Anthony's but until then. Just stop.

Most of the best athletes in Texas are playing Spring football right now.

Doesn’t mean they can hit you and beat up your kids which I think was the point you seemed to miss.

Mark he poster was also comparing Texas kids to club players, not top notch DC lacrosse. You missed both points being made.
