[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not affiliated with the STA program.

STA is gradually heading in the right direction however its hard to truly assess as they play in a very very good league. If Heeter can get more kids to come out, and the example provided above in convincing some of the D3 football player and Ivy league football commit to come out and give the sport a try, I view that as a very positive step. The Next Level to STA pipeline is starting to shape up as the middle school program appears to be getting stronger - again this is a good thing.

I think STA would be in the upper half of the WCAC and might be able to complete with PVI and Dematha this year.

How long has STA coach been there? Isn’t it very difficult to get into STA? They don’t let just anyone in - even if they are a great lax player. That seems to be a bigger problem for STA. There are too many alternatives to STA that weren’t available even 5 years ago

STA's problem is that they have a reputation of being an academic grind.  It doesn't mean the admissions' standards are much tougher, it just means when you get there it's an academic slog.  The reputation is based on fact.  We've known talented lacrosse players who ended up getting recruited who did not want to put up with the grade deflation BS at STA and transferred to schools with great academics, just without the sado-masochistic focus on "rigor".

If that’s the case, STA has no chance of climbing as a lax program - too many other top lax programs with less rigorous academic standards that still get lax players into schools that non lax playing STA families would kill to get into[/quote]
