US Lacrosse released their end of year rankings, and a number of top teams are represented by Syracuse recruits. Let me know if I missed anyone.

1. Saint Anthony's (NY) - Michael Leo
2. St. John's (D.C.) - Luke Rhoa, Vincent Truijllio
3. Mt. Sinia (NY) - Joey Spallina, Dylan Sageder
11. Brunswick (CT) - Blake Borges
12. Archbishop Spalding (Md) - Finn Kelly

9 NY teams in the Top 25, plus another 4 in the others receiving votes (including FM and JD).

Is there anyone worse than Lindsay Kramer? The guy literally roots for the negative.

Don’t follow Lacrosse much, but damn that guy sounds like my kind of coach.

I don’t know about other stories, but that particular one seemed like he was just telling it like it is.Basically just asked some questions and got some answers that I thought were a joy to hear.
Coach basically was telling how wussyfied kids have become.

Great article. I find his comments to be 100% spot on.

Desko to WG?

Why would he want to deal with that den of helicopter sports parents?

I wonder if current OCC assistant Dylan Donahue is a candidate?

The better question would be, was I serious?

Donahue would be great but the admin (and school board) has to back him 100% = it’s his way or the highway. The parents can go kick rocks.

Messere's comments sound a lot like those that Doug Rowe made when he stepped down as Baldwinsville's highly successful girls lacrosse coach. IMO, school administrators need to be more supportive of coaches like Messere and Rowe, who work long hours for little coaching pay.

Frustrated by a few parents, departing Baldwinsville girls lacrosse coach Doug Rowe is 'ready to go'

Longtime Baldwinsville coach will quit after the upcoming season.

Parents don't kick rocks anymore. Every parent thinks his kid is the next Tewaaraton winner.

agreed, but they’ll go kick rocks if the coach tells them to and the AD and board support the coach.

And from what I hear, Mike felt like he held back quite a bit in that interview.

Thumbing the ball in that pic.

Is that necessary with today’s pinched and offset heads?!?
