[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not sure who all these parents are.  I have a kid playing lacrosse at one of the above mentioned schools, and I have never come across anyone who is this obsessed with the game.  Unless I know you and you are a closet nutcase.  [b]What is it about this sport that brings out the worst in parents?[/b]  You never see this kind of discussion on other high school sports.[/quote]

Because it is one few the few sports that kids around here can get recruited for really good schools that they otherwise could not get into.[/quote]

Unlike soccer, basketball, tennis, crew, track, baseball?[/quote]

Very few athletes from the IAC go on to play Division I soccer, tennis, or baseball -- those are highly competitive sports and this league area is not the national hotbed for them (and the best soccer players don't even play high school sports because the cartel soccer system bars them from playing for their school).  For the schools that have rowing, yes, they row in college (although colleges are increasingly stocking their crews with giant foreign rowers from Europe, AUS, and NZ).  A reasonable number of basketball kids do play Division I -- a function of how strong the local basketball scene is and how much IAC schools recruit.  Proportionally and arithmetically there's no doubt that the number one Division I sport played in college by IAC grads is lacrosse.  Take St. Albans, for example -- it's been one of the weaker teams in the league and it has lacrosse players on rosters this year at Yale, Dartmouth (multiple), Harvard, and Lehigh.  [/quote]
