We are essentially saying the same thing but for the fact that you find it completely implausible if not impossible that STA has some talent in the LS “relative” to their peers at other schools. Please calm down now. Thanks.

No one said impossible or completely implausible. Those are your words. The argument being made is that 3-5 players is not enough. Question asked and answered. No bee in any bonnet, besides your own.

Are there 3-5 STA boys who play club lacrosse per grade probably, are they all "very good" or future commits unlikely. Having 3-5 decent players does not equate to being competitive or successful in the IAC. You need a lot more than that. Look at the history and appreciate the comparison to other schools (the reality check). You can recognize the 2023 class is great for STA, but not a new trend and not the start of IAC dominance. That is a bridge to far. They would need double the recruits and a much stronger bench to compete against the big boys.

Dude chill. I think you are missing the point that the three D1 commits at STA probably don’t care if they ever win the IAC. That ain’t the end all be all for the STA gang. Their standing in the IAC has no impact on their ability to play in college. The commits are all on good club teams. Boys who care about winning IAC lax definitely should not go to STA. But good lax players who play for good clubs and are otherwise inclined to attend STA should know they can be very recruitable, IAC record notwithstanding.

Or is it a bridge “too” far? Grammar counts at STA though.

Excuses, excuses. The larger schools could easily have very few good lacrosse players. Just because you have larger numbers doesn't mean you have top athletes or players for any given sport. And if you want to use that excuse, then just compare STA to Landon, Bullis, or SSSA (as you said). They have double and triple the amount of commits each year than STA, so your excuse is just that, an excuse, and ridiculous.

You should realize that you are responding to different posters. Also, you are the worst cliche of the insufferable lax dads who have stood on the sidelines (usually the same side side as the players) coaching your kid since he was 8. Just pathetic.

Wow, anger issues much? How does the excuse response get you this worked up? Look in the mirror and take a deep breath before you respond in such an out of control manner. It's embarrassing.

Dude, only STA parents say their boys don't care about winning the IAC. News Flash, they actually do.

Classic response from STA booster when they have no real argument. It's a list-serve response, get over it. No one is asking you to edit their post and, by the way, your post is grammatically incorrect also.

You are so out of touch, I wonder what school your kid attends and what sport your kid actually plays. I feel bad for your kid.

PP… the STA boys care and want to win.

Keep your snarky comment to yourself

[Anonymous]

Nope

You clearly don’t know the boys. They all 100% care and, quite frankly, wouldn’t be competitive athletes (let alone D1 or D3 athletes) if they didn’t care about winning or losing their games and league. Haven’t you ever seen them rush the field after a win?

[Anonymous]

The boys all want to win. But it’s good for these boys to lose. They’ve drawn a good lot in life. Not getting everything they want is a good early life lesson. I applaud STA’s pluck in continuing its lacrosse and football programs, and am overjoyed when the teams regularly have losing seasons. It built grit and character and humbled my Bulldogs.

I want to get back to the guy who got a bj from a sta mom.

Really another STA thread on this forum.

You see enough STA threads on the Independent / private schools thread.

I’ve never met a more arrogant community in my life.

You do understand that it was clearly not a STA parent that started this thread, right? So your post is off base and weird.

You are mistaken. The OP is clearly an STA mom. Don't worry most of the parents on the team know that she's a loon. And loon, we know who you are so please stop posting on this thread and the other threads in the lacrosse forum. You are embarassing yourself and us though do know your gal pals including me have turned the frequency of your posts into a drinking game.
