[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Still no explanation for what has happened to sta’s Program. [/quote]

No dog in this fight, but they had a winning season last year.  I checked laxpower and it seems to be the best w/l record in many years.  And they beat my son's team (SSSA) once, and only lost to SSSA by one in the IAC tournament.   That won't happen again, mind you!  But i thought that sta was pretty good, or at least respectable.

STA did just fine this fall.  beat everyone in the fall ball league except Gonzaga who they lost to by 1 with under a minute to go.  not that fall ball is as good as the spring, but it is an indicator that they will be just fine.  They have multiple D1 and D3 commits (or soon to be committed) on the team.  Only meaningful loss is the goalie but the offense will be MUCH better than last year and the defense will be comparable.  And they have a new assistant coach (plays in MLL) who seems to be fantastic.  STA came in tied for third last year and there is no reason to think they won't be just as competitive this year.

You're more right than wrong, bro.  STA doesn't get the credit it deserves for being a solid team in a conference that will test you.  Their FOGO could compete with anyone last season (except Shockey, but who could) and they got a few guys on offense who are really talented and unselfish, making for a multi-pronged and dangerous offense.  I do think you underestimate that VLC pole they lost to graduation.  He seemed to provide the energy and aggressiveness that kept STA's often overmatched defense at least in the game.  I also think that Next Level guy they brought in as another assistant is a good guy and great teacherwho might be able to funnel good club players to STA.  But the problem for STA is that others in the IAC have reloaded.  I'm not hearing that STA has.  I'm hearing there may be a few strong freshmen and sophs coming up, but they'll be too young and inexperienced to fill any voids.  That young goalie did look great in the fall ball game I watched, but as you note, it's fall ball.

Good luck with the season.  I'm one who thinks it's not healthy for our conference to have non-competitive blowouts, so I'm hoping STA and EHS can bring there game up.
