[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not only do almost all come from private schools, almost all cone from a handful of schools.  STA for example has had just one high school all American in its history.  Landon won it's inference for 20 straight years. Then Prep became a power. Now Gonzaga is a power.  SSSA is even more dominant in girls LAX

Public high schools didn't even have teams until recently, but everything is changing and the future won't be lie the past. [/quote]

This post is almost as misguided as it is poorly written.  Lacrosse is more about being seen by college coaches at summer and fall recruiting events, where you play either with your team or as an individual.  Schools like Landon and Prep continue to have a lot of kids who commit to college lacrosse programs.  Part of it is where they go to school, but a bigger reason is they have good players who are seen and consequently recruited by college coaches.

More and more public school kids are going D1, D2 and D3.  The talent pool is bigger in Northern Virginia vis a vis Montgomery County, but the trend continues.  You also see more and more kids being recruited from Florida, California, Texas, Colorado, etc.

So your post is woefully ignorant.  Among privates, kids are committing to college lacrosse programs from a wide range of private schools in this area.  Further, there are a ton of public school kids who have committed as well to college lacrosse programs
Stick to writing about something you know.[/quote]

You need to do a little more research. Very few if any public school's in MoCo have D1 recruits. Churchill has 1. Landon has 16. The one D1 recruit has everything to do with the club that player played for and almost nothing to do with the public team.

Yes maybe in a 5 -10 years more public schools will have D1 recruits as more players start playing on good club teams that attend the high profile recruiting events. That is where the recruiting is happening, not at the HS games.[/quote]

And you need lessons in reading comprehension.  I never said a lot of Montgomery County schools have kids who have gone D1.  I rebutted the PP's assertion that "almost all come from private schools, almost all cone [sic] from a handful of schools".  You also make the point that I ALREADY MADE - that it is more about the club you play for than the school you attend.

I never said public schools in Montgomery County have tons of D1 recruits.  I will note, however, that your post is myopic.  There have been a number of kids over the past few years that have attended schools like Wootton, etc. that have gone D1.  But as I already note, public school lacrosse in Montgomery County is nowhere near as big as private school lacrosse in this are (or public school lacrosse in NoVA).[/quote]
