[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Zero chance that SSSA crowd will let boys lax become an IAC bottom feeder if the problem can be fixed by a new HC[/quote] This is a joke right? STA and EHS were awful, and they barely beat those two teams and got beat by the top of the IAC by double digits. They have some solid players but coaching is awful, and has been even back to the championship year. The coaching staff needs to be cleaned out and start over. But i thnk the 'bottom feeder' title is already well established over there in Alexandria.[/quote]

STA has entered the chat[/quote]

I don’t think so. I think the point was they already are bottom feeders if they can barely beat the other perennial bottom feeders. [/quote]

Isnt the real question for all three of those school, given the other DMV options, is the process reversible? I mean why risk your kids lax future at one of these places? Academics are pretty much a wash here or there, but if your kid loves lacrosse aren't you scuttling any of their dreams by taking a chance on SSSAS, EHS or STA?  And at $50-60k per year, doesn't that put other options on the table that are either comparable or substantially cheaper?[/quote]

The academics are not close to being a wash.  That’s part of the problem at one of those schools, there are less athletes and more scholars! The lax star is likely not getting in anyway.

BUT

Another interesting and ironic aspect is that some of the “stars” from previous years at high school lax powerhouses are now at great colleges and in alum support programs (ie the path to jobs) that are run by dads with kids at one of those lesser lax schools mentioned.  Why does a dad with a kid at high school x, who is helping a kid who graduated from a different high school and now attends an Ivy keep HIS kid at the school he is in when it underperforms at lax?  In other words, if, hypothetically, SJC gets a kid to Yale and Yale kid is now being mentored by a super successful Yale alum (that wants his kid to go to Yale)  isnt the Yale dad just going to move his kid to SJC from the bad lax school?

The reason STA sucks at lacrosse is because the music program is too hard to pass up. This has already been settled. No way to reverse this. Bassoons don’t miss.[/quote]

This joke stopped being funny about 10 pages ago. [/quote]

This post was definitely written by the mom who made the original comment about the STA music program. Keep the music program jokes coming . . . [/quote]
