[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]STA played 3 cupcake programs todays  to go 3-0[/quote]

Still, 8 of their kids were admitted today to Harvard, Princeton and Yale.  [/quote]

Ivies don't admit in November, but nice try. Not to mention, last year's matriculation was eye opening for a lot of STA parents. Ivy admits were athletes, legacy, and big donors. Lots of good/top students did not get into their desired schools. STA matriculations are not what they used to be. [/quote]

35 to Ivys, Duke, and Williams caliber school's, 33 to Wake, BC, Notre Dame level and 8 to Oregon, PSU and James Madison types.  You are spot off.  [/quote]

Who cares?  Go away this is a lacrosse thread. BC JmU wake and Oregon don’t even have lacrosse teams. [/quote]

The idiot who said “STA matriculations are not what they used to be” seemed to care and needed to be put in a factually accurate place.  I am sorry to have had to smack a fool down on this thread but when fools need smackin, they gotta be smacked.  [/quote]

Well STA certainly sucks at lacrosse commitments to college. They have some of the lowest numbers in lax recruiting in the DMV. If you want to play lax at the collegiate level do not go tot STA. Facts.[/quote]

STA 2023 class had at least 6 College commits. Definitely fewer than some of the other programs, but don’t think that constitutes “sucking”. [/quote]

One half way decent class doesn’t make up for all the other years. STA has some of the lowest, if not the lowest college commits for lacrosse. If you want to play lacrosse in college do not go to STA.  The competition level just isn’t the same. Only reason to attend STA is if your lacrosse player isn’t good enough to play on the top teams in the DMV. Boys who don’t play much on the top teams can start on the STA varsity team. And vice versa, the majority of kids who start on STA’s team likely wouldn’t play much on top teams. STA is just on a lower level and does not have the talent nor depth of top DMV teams.[/quote]

Couple of problems with that: STA's tuition is one of the highest in the area and might be the highest with the donation "suggestions" and the academic standards aren't lowered for lacrosse players. They also prefer to admit legacies with  family $$ rather than new families with no association to the school. I'll give credit to Heeter though, he's not afraid to schedule games and he's done better with what he has more so than any STA coach long before him. [/quote]

Unfortunately, that’s still not saying much. STA had its most talented senior class in decades with the 2023 class and they still ended up at the bottom of the IAC. Very disappointing. They just play at a different (lower) level and this year will not be any different.[/quote]
