It's the start of the Fall 2019 season. Use this thread for your posts regarding this season's school soccer.

Saint Anyhony’s =Top Dog

Yes, St Anthony’s is the tallest midget on the circus. Now that we got that established can we move on?

No friar parent would say that it’s a no-no

Perhaps a new friar parent? Maybe not brand new, maybe someone with a 10th grader? who could big mouth daddy be?

Who has already committed with colleges?

Who are the top girls to watch this season?

I don't think so...All the top 2022 year players are public school kids and St. A's doesn't really take too many underclassmen on Varsity. Think there was only one 10th grader last year.

Just stop. If you're hoping someone will say nice things about your kid then be prepared for her to be to trashed as well. Teenagers shouldn't be discussed other than to post a list of who makes all state or whatever.

The St Anthony's dad posted something similar on another thread, so he's a perfect example of how not to behave as a parent

All the Fury B players who go to St A think they're making Varsity, might be the first in many $hi+ sandwiches they're going to eat. Wait till they get 10 mins a game at Fury and don't get rostered for some games. They need some humble pie. Then Schmidt will tell them what great futsal players they are.

How refreshing an anonymous parent speaks so highly of children attending a Catholic school. I wonder if they kiss there own kids with those lips. High school parents at there best.

I can't speak to the quality of the players as I don't know them, but sheer mathematics makes it unlikely.
St. A's Varsity carried 29 players last year-
12-2019 players
16-2020 players
1-2021 player

JVA carried 25 players last year-
21-2021 players
4-2022

The fact that 12 players graduated but their are 21 rising Juniors is going to make it tough for any Sophomore to make Varsity, especially if they weren't on JV "A" last year (which I don't think they were). Regardless, good luck to all the kids-wishing them all a healthy, injury free, successful season!

Unless you're the coach you know too much about this team.

Maybe...but my daughter is on the team, so at least there's a legit reason for the interest, lol.
Ps-last year's rosters are on the website, so the info is pretty readily available.

Top team to watch in Tri-state will be Ramapo in NJ. Team has Duke, UNC,Villanova committs among many others, only thing holding them back is Rec level coach.

Nassau teams to watch-
Massapequa
Syosset
VSS

Suffolk teams to watch-
Smithtown West
Half Hollow Hills West

Sachem East will take itt

Possible but unlikely...
Smithtown West was the least affected in terms of losing productive players to graduation, same with Half Hollow Hills West. Sachem East lost 2 biggies and moved up in the rankings.

Not so easy for VSS this year-

Did any of VSS Girls graduate? Otherwise why would it be any harder
Then the success they had last year ?

Where are the Power Rankings in Section XI for the new season?

They might have moved up a div

How many conferences in Nassau? Suffolk?

They moved up to AB1.

What diff does that make ? They won LI. If all the same kids
Why wouldn’t they be the team to beat?
