Sorta OT - CNY High School Lacrosse...

[Forza Azzurri]

I was looking at the boys high school lacrosse and found a team called "Syracuse"...

Is that a combined city team?

Nottingham? Henninger? What happened?

Nottingham was awful when I played there but got much better and Henninger was a powerhouse when I was in HS...

Is participation that low?

 

[rrlbees]

Yes it is a city combined team.

Henninger, Nottingham, Corcoran and Fowler.

Ouch.

Fowler and Corcoran didn't have teams but Henninger had great teams.

And we were terrible but had enough players for both JV and Varsity.

What happened?

City budget cuts.

They combined baseball teams also.

I think the city schools have a combined hockey team too.

Section 3 has been competitive this season. WG was rolling but just lost back to back games against Caz and FM. Caz 1 loss to JD, WG 2 losses , JD 1 loss to WG.

Don't sleep on Tully. After losing their first two games 20-16 (Westhill) and 9-8 (Skaneatlas) has reeled off 9 straight and they are scoring a ton of goals doing it. Should be a fun Section 3 playoff bracket.

Uggh you're kidding, that's a shame?? What are the enrollments of those schools these days?

Roughly the same as they've been for the last couple decades.

Don't really like the idea; can't imagine the real savings is significant (especially when busing and new uniforms are factored in).

It's not about budget cuts they just don't have enough kids to field teams

Lack of interest?
