Landon offense was led by their attack w/ maybe 1 goal from 2nd line mid...and generally took care of the ball, won most FOs until the 4qtr
STJ had many opportunities to close the lead or even pull ahead, but did not clear well, forced passes, lots of sloppy play.
Must be noted that yesterday’s win by Landon over SJC was first game in a loooooong time that Coach Bordley was not on the sidelines. A great man who had a positive impact on literally thousands of boys.

The coach, who is often paid very little does not owe a parent any explanation for who plays/who does not and why. Your asking or time used to pander to you is a team distraction. This is a top league with top players. You should also not overstep your son's role in learning how to cope with this recreational activity. Does a college coach owe you the same support? Unless you coach or play you have no other role on the team except cheering good play.
I too played lacrosse in HS and college (D1 national championship team for that matter--though admittedly I rarely saw play that year) and I think you're a total jerk. If lacrosse coaches don't like the pay, then they shouldn't do it. Nobody is forcing them to. Oh, and if you knew anything about schools like St. Albans, then you'd know that in fact, these kids are required to play sports. They are not "optional enhancements." Could they pick track over lacrosse? Sure, but should they be forced to play a sport and then have to pick one they don't enjoy. And if the coach selects them for the team then the coach does owe an explanation for his humiliation of so many players. I wish my DCs had never gotten into this sport. I don't know a single lacrosse father, whether he actually played, or just lives vicariously though his son, that isn't a total jerk. So go put your visor back on get out there to cheer on your lax bro star!
The coach should have communication with his PLAYERS, he owes you nothing! Have your son go out for fencing. This way you do not have to deal with all of the JERK lacrosse people who treated you poorly in college while you were the towel boy for the lacrosse team. At least you have an old JHU towel somewhere in the closet.
Not a boy. And my teammates treated me great. Had a great time in college. And I am now really successful and pay a fortune to send my kids to a good school and give much much more on top of that. And yes, for that reason, I do think the coach should explain to the players who are getting screwed (by the way, I don't consider my DS one of them--he's no star, but he hangs in there and is having a great time). The point is that he doesn't. Just another d-bag lax bro who knows most of these guys that he can humiliate now will be far and away ahead of him in life in no time. It's his only way of feeling like a top dog and it's pathetic.
Sorry this was my mistake. I did not know that you had donated extra to that program. This changes my opinion. Thank you to you and your partner for the donation and congrats on your successful career and life. Of course this extra effort on your part should have a direct impact on your son and the evaluation of him as a player. In fact, if you could see fit to pay off my bar tab at Kenwood CC he will most likely start this season.

Not surprisingly, you heard D1 national championship and just assumed boys lacrosse. Typical.
