[quote=Anonymous]I played football at a top Ivy. Very few of the 30 recruits in my class were " ofthe manor born". Most were sons of steelworkers, high school coaches, cops, and IBM salesmen. A few played ball at the Exeters of the world, but in these cases they were PGers from similarly middle class backgrounds. Many of the lax players were quite blue collar. With fancy places like Landon and Georgetown Prep dominating the local lacrosse scene - and with many of their star players going to Ivys - it is easy to forget that most of the college rosters are stocked with firefighter's sons from Long Island and high school principal's daughters from West Genesee NY.[/quote]
