Respectfully, I doubt that. Almost every WG player goes on to play in college, even if it's D3 or club.He was my gym teacher back in the day. Recruited me last minute a little for lacrosse one season when he lost some kids for disciplinary reasons right before the start of the season, but I wasn't really interested. It would have required quitting my job at the time. Good dude though.
I'm confused by the statement that only 10 of his players didn't go on to play lacrosse in college. I'm pretty sure there were ten guys on the team my senior year that never played competitively after that.
Alrighty then. I'll put aside my firsthand experience and knowledge of my time at West Genny in favor of this article's statement I guess.Respectfully, I doubt that. Almost every WG player goes on to play in college, even if it's D3 or club.
I just think most at least play club & that he's probably counting that. Even if it's club at a school that also has a varsity team. I've known of few WG grads playing for SUNYIT when they were still a club team that barely played at WG outside of mop-up time. Same at Utica College. Just a couple examples. You'd obviously know better having seen it 1st hand though, just doesn't seem plausible that there'd be 10 on one team. I also wonder if he doesn't count kids who played another sport in college against the 10.Alrighty then.

A lot of guys never even made it to college. :noidea:I just think most at least play club & that he's probably counting that. Even if it's club at a school that also has a varsity team.

if that 10 is an accurate count than I am 1 out of those 10. I can't believe that number to be true. I played lacrosse my whole life at wg and when your younger all you plan on doing is playing college lacrosse but eventually when you don't play other sports and play lacrosse all year round you get tired of it. I decided I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life and just wanted to go to community college and stopped playing. I know I'm not the only one in this boat.A lot of guys never even made it to college. :noidea:
Plus, I know of guys that went to schools that didn't have lacrosse, or they went to a D1 school for academic reasons and then didn't play anymore. Or they just didn't want to at that point in their life anymore.
They've got to be counting it weird.
Wow, how many seniors were on the team that year? There were only 8 seniors on the team this year and 32 on the entire team.He was my gym teacher back in the day.

Now I'm debating cracking out the yearbook and doing some Facebook stalking to figure this out for sure.Wow, how many seniors were on the team that year? There were only 8 seniors on the team this year and 32 on the entire team.
