Fontbonne is DIII they just got a team. I suggested it to jack after hearing about it from Jaron. And speaking of that little piece of ****, how’s St. Louis? Did you get in any summer leagues yet? Hope your doing good and repping wisco well. Btw I’m surprised I spelt any names wrong I thought I looked them up before writing it.
Jaron let me know what Guns response is. I just sent out some e-mails today myself.

Its true, middleton is one of the best teams in wisco, but we (verona) beat them 11-4 in the state champ game, so don't pair us up with any old team that hinsdale beat...not to mention, we've beaten teams by two goals early in the season, and killed the same team by a 10 goal margin later in the season; there are too many factors that add into a games score for you to use the score of one game as a reflection of our entire state...
With your own logic, your awesome team beat a handful of our varisty kids by a 10-8 margin. with your logic, id have to assume that we change a two goal margin if we have a faceoff guy, our starting goalie, our first two middie lines, and 4 more attackmen....again, your logic...
Besides, styles, no one is saying that LT is bad or that Wisco lax is better than illinois, im just saying that you need to give us more credit than you have been. You can't deny the fact that with the full team we expected to field, Western Springs wouldn't have made it past the second round of Brewtown.

09-05-2005, 03:16 PM
besides what dwins says i dont even play for middleton anymore, and u cant compare having an all american goalie on WS because nolan was a graduated senior and WS doesnt play grad. seniors. Not that the goalie u guys had wasnt bad because he was solid.
Butters14
09-05-2005, 03:59 PM
Verona lost like 17 seniors, so we're out of the picture in the top tier of wisco lax, although if any illinois teams wanted to play us regardless, i'd love to play out of state teams. if your interested in looking to play some wisco teams send me a pm, i could even spread the word to some of the area teams because we're looking to play out of state teams more often

Yea, Pano, your coach is a deusche.

Last time I checked Jaron started this forum in the right way “no-haters” If you’re not from Wisconsin or have anything constructive or interesting to say about lacrosse that somehow pertains to Wisco lacrosse, leave.
Astyles personally I think you’re a joke and I’d have to say the majority, if not everyone here, would agree with me. What school do you go to? I’m sure you’ve said it in the past, but I can’t remember and don’t care enough to check. If it’s a even half way decent school I know that we’d be willing to play you guys and then the winner will have some legitimate bragging rights instead of all this transitive property bullcrap. You tell your coach tell me and we’ll set it up somehow.
I’m also interested to hear more about a previous comment by Jaron about Penn State. I couldn’t find any past comments about it as the site has a peculiar habit of dropping comments for some reason. I’m assuming that it has something to do with Astyles considering the response was to you. If I could get a quote similar to the one Jack provided that would be optimal.
DwinsChamps
09-15-2005, 01:05 AM
As much as i hate that steihls, he does/did play for lyons township....they would beat the best team that marquette could field by nearly 30. No joke, i hate to say it, but they are a great team and would embarass every wisco team minus our Verona squad from last season (if we were better coached on offense). They have what wisco teams dont have, and that's good youth programs and good coaching. Not to mention, a 6'5 dman who is good...like penn state good.
Steihls, btw, says that he's playing ball at div 1 penn state next spring, which is what jaron was refering to. I personally dont think that he's d1 quality (he's not listed on the laxpower recruits page...hmm), bice is better and put in 4 or 5 against a GOOD western springs (i.e. lyons township) defense. Steihls tallied one against our defense and butters.

Last time I checked your the one hating Illinois lacrosse. It is simply too true what AStyles has said. I cannot personally vouch for the fact that he is going anywhere, but I do know that Lyons would crush you guys had they had their full team. Their goalie from last year, might have been the best ever goalie in this state and had he not tried to play football he could have gone top 5 DI. WS was also missing Teddy Winders who is a nasty attackman witha 91 MPH shot. You will definately catch him on the All-American team this year. Had they had those two players it would have been pure domination. There was also this LSM on Lyons who is a top notch basketball player who rumor has it got calls from Hopkins and 'Cuse this summer for BBall and Lacrosse. If you guys still think you can take them I suggest you call for your asswhooping. The only reason Loyola Academy lost to them is because their bush-league coach called a penalty on ours for dipping on the field, and that wasn't sportsmanlike, we also lost a great number of our seniors. Id say look for an LT- Loyola match up in the state championship, and either of our teams could smoke your entire state. So Bow Down! :guns: :guns: :guns: :guns: :bartmoon:

alright i have thrown my **** in here enough to im basically laying it all right now. i dont hate illinois lacrosse at all...in fact i have nothing but respect for it. They field high quality teams and have great coaching. I was simply hating on steihl...the kid said after the tournament he was wrong and had a "new view of wisconsin lacrosse" Now all he does is slam. Props to anyone in illinois besides him. I have met alot of players from almost every top team in that state and liked every single one of them. Winders was on that WS team by the way...i rememeber seeing him thinking he was a solid player, and yes we all know brent nolan is sick as hell at lacrosse and one of the best goalies the entire midwest has ever seen. Now to the loyola kid we dont hate on you guys...in fact i dont even live in wisconsin anymore, i live in STL, but im still not gonna sit her and let you guys rip apart wisconsin like its worth a ****. Verona was a solid team, and could have been ranked top 5 in any state in the midwest aside from maybe ohio and michigan...that includes illinois missouri minnesota indiana and all that, so lets just chill out and relax. No state is hating on any other state here.

styles, you came in and said something like you've never heard of a wisco team beating anyone worth a damn. Seriously no one here is trashing illinois lax, if you'd read you'd notice that. We dont go trash the forums about you guys so give us some respect and dont trash ours. Like i said you cant say your lt team would've destroyed our verona team, we didnt play eachother. the best representation of how it would've turned out is laxpower, you guys (lyons township) had a pr of 90.58, we (verona) had a pr of 90.00. Quite close if you'll notice. That would probably translate if we played to the numbers, which after a full season are quit eaccurate, that you would win by probably 1-2 goals. Thats not an asswhooping by anymeans. Wisco lax is far better than you give us credit for. So seriously, stop with all your bull**** banter, all we have to judge how the game would've ended is laxpower's numbers, which clearly dont show the anhialation you seem to think that woudl occur. I'm not trying to trash you styles, or anyone else in illinois, i'm sure you're a great player but you know what you're making yourself seem like an *** to everyone on these forums.

The newest piece of Lacrosse being mentioned in Wisconsin's media. Not exactly positive: From the Marquette Tribune ...
Party comes back to haunt lacrosse team
Student Affairs cracks down on alleged hazing
By John Borneman and Phil Caruso
Tribune Staff
The men's club lacrosse team has had its spring 2006 season canceled, its official club status denied until next fall and is being accused of engaging in hazing rituals.
The team held a party at a private residence in early October that was attended by a majority of the team and other students. Photos taken at the party were posted by a team member on WebShots.com, a public photo-sharing site. The photos show at least some team members performing keg stands and drinking from a beer bong. Some of the team members were photographed wearing nothing but thong underwear.
As a result of that party, the university became aware of the lacrosse team's actions and accused them of violating university alcohol and hazing policies, according Vice President of Student Affairs Andy Thon.
"Following procedures in the student handbook for violations of club regulations, (the university) held a student conduct hearing," Thon said.
The university's decision to suspend the lacrosse team was based on the club's violation of university alcohol and hazing policies, Thon said.
For the past few weeks, the team has been locked in an investigation that has led to the cancellation of their spring season.
As a result of the hearing, the lacrosse team will not be recognized as an official student organization until fall 2006, according to a university press release.

my only suggestion for both of you is make sur eyour ready to make the commitment and make sure you like the school and dont just choose it b/c you want to play lacrosse. kevin was someone who loved lacrosse but hated the school enough to outweight that love, and most of those schools are a lot of money to spend even for a semester only to find out you cant handle it or dont like it. As for me, I'm thinkin right now i'll end up at uw-whitewater playing club.

butters is right, i cant stress enough that you guys need to be sure that your ready for ncaa ball. i know wisconsin has a lot of talent but usually compared to the schools that you guys are choosing, might not get a lot of playing time right away. school is always first, i mean for me right now at leo...im loving the lacrosse but i hate the school (just b/c they dont have graphic design here) so im in a major i dont want to do. just try and get a balance of a school you will like and then the lacrosse you are happy with.

Middleton-lil' Adam, Urso, Haviland, Gundy, and Grant returning on D, along with Kneebone in goal.
West-Boyd, Nueman.
Sorry west but the numbers just dont match up. As solid as your two players are they cant compete against a team of good players. Especially a team who will no doubt have the best defense in the State.
Marquette#2
12-01-2005, 04:36 PM
It's hard to say. I can't say anything bad against SP cause they beat us by 1 to start the year but we did play really bad that game. Middleton then beat us by 2 that same year, so I don't think they are that SP is that far behind. I don't know who they are returning though. As for West I don't see how they wouldn't compete with Neuman and Boyd. Plus I think Middleton may be losing a few more key players then some of you think. (Jaron). As for us I'm not to worried about the milwaukee teams if the indoor tourny is any indication (beat combined USM and Eastside with their best players and we definately didn't have all of our top players there because of hockey). Outdoor season is a lot different then indoor too so who knows. But its still hard to say what we'll do against madison teams and I don't know how many games we'll even have out there this year.
Eclipse
12-01-2005, 08:02 PM
I still just cannot see west beating middleton. Middletons offense will have a cake walk considering west has no defense, and a goalie that needs to improve in the offseason a little to step up, not to say darcy isnt a good goalie, he is good at clearing for sure, he just needs to be more aggresive. On top of all that neuman and boyd will get good matchups against Haviland and urso, but even if they beat them they have a tough slide package in grant and gundy coming there way. With kneebone in goal its going to be even tougher for them to score outside shots. Add on to this the fact that having lost erik....west attack wont score a single goal all game, with maybe the exception of little white throwing in one.
Butters14
12-01-2005, 08:30 PM
jaron heres the deal, lets look at west and middleton like this... West has two scoring threats who will always put up goals: Boyd and Neuman... Middleotn has one scoring threat: Urso. Contrary to belief lindheim sucks, and i didnt think haviland was anything special this past season, he didnt do anything really. Also no matter who you have on defense or whos in goal boyd and neuman wills till score, all that matters is whether urso can keep up with their scoring. I see west and marquette int he state championship game. Middleton expects to be there, west wants to be there. West Will be in the state championship game... heard it hear first

Very true, outdoor is much different. MUHS poles are hardly intimidating and I foresee a very close matchup in Milwaukee this year, because the indoor team's better players had already played 4 games (Bottecelli, Pereles, and myself) with only 3 subs on each respectve sideline (USM had 7 players, 4 of whom were Arrowhead players who rode pine, Eastide had 5 and). MUHS may have depth, but more ball possession for Eastside will bode well.

Butters14
12-01-2005, 10:14 PM
first off... marquette will dominate milwaukee just as it did last year, every team down there sucks. second of all, jaron anyone could score on west last year, theres no difference other than one defenseman and that one defenseman couldnt have made more than a 1-2 goal difference. The loss of trevor from middleton will produce thta same result. Middleton is not a dominate force, middleton will do as well as urso and kneebone can make them do. I'm not saying west will blow thim out, but west will be int he state championship game./

Vail is very competitive and not to sound like the put downer but this may not be the best time to compete in a tournament like that since Wisconsin lost most of its talent to graduation, and even with those all stars we still managed to get shafted at a gay tournament in michigan and only take third. A smaller tourney may be better to start in, but do whatever.

are you just pulling that out of your @ss butters?...how do you konw that west WANTS to win and middleton doesnt...you say some stupid shiit
veronaD#02
12-02-2005, 10:58 AM
Jaron, i can't agree with you more. While people tend to think that with so many years under their belts they can compete in some big name tourneys, the same kids need to remember that collectively, Wisconsin teams are not anywhere near as good as they were last year on a national level. Graduation pretty much pillaged Wisco of its star talent, and it's certainly going to be awhile before we get that back.
I suggest looking into tourneys that have good jv teams/lesser varsity teams competing (GLLI is a good example), because spending the time/effort/money getting a vail team together is only going to be a painful setback.
And for the record, middleton is going to own the state this year. For West, Boyd is a tremedous athlete, but doesn't quite have the ability to make a game all on his own. He'll need to rethink shooting some of his shots (usually turnovers) and rely a bit more on newman to make something happen. Nevertheless, middleton (even without trev) should be able to hold newman/boyd to a few (we held them to a total of 3 goals in two games) goals while having an offense that should be able to get around a mike kent-less defense. West's D is ~2.5 stars, middleton's O is ~4 stars. Mid's D ~ 3.5 stars, W's O ~ 2 stars, at best. I don't see how there's any question.
Either way, though, the only reason that any non-madison team is competing in the state finals is bc they are given a spot. No Bayval, Milw, or non-conference team should be able to consistently hang with the upper tier (i.e. middleton, i guess west) of mala this season. Sorru muhs, wausau, and appleton.
Contrary to what some are saying, lindheim is actually good. If he uses his small size/speedless legs to lure defenders, he should be able to dish it all day. Unless, of course, he's playing the impenetrable verona zone (which sadly to say no longer exists)....the brainchild of yours truly.

Butters14
12-03-2005, 11:35 AM
No you're incredibly wrong jaron. Middleton does indeed expect to get to state, because they all think like you and think that West wont be able to stop them. The only other team that I see as a potential contender would be Sun Prairie but they lost a lot of people and it depends on how others step up.
Eclipse
12-03-2005, 12:42 PM
Stop acting like you know my old team better then i do. Last year we had the best defense in the state. THE BEST GOALIE considering garret was hurt, and some of the top scorers in the state. We lost alot of the power we had from last year, west didnt and they gave us a run for our money. If anyone should expect it, then its west. Its just not going to be. Im sorry but no matter where you are two great players cannot match up against a team of players, once that first line is off the field, the pressure is on. The difference is middletons defense will hold west attack to nothing. Scoring will break down like this.
Middletons attack:3 goals
West attack:0 goals
Middletons Midfield:3 goals
West Midfield:4 goals
Middleton wins 6-4

Middletons offense will have a cake walk considering west has no defense, and a goalie that needs to improve in the offseason a little to step up, not to say darcy isnt a good goalie, he is good at clearing for sure, he just needs to be more aggresive. On top of all that neuman and boyd will get good matchups against Haviland and urso, but even if they beat them they have a tough slide package in grant and gundy coming there way. With kneebone in goal its going to be even tougher for them to score outside shots. Add on to this the fact that having lost erik....west attack wont score a single goal all game, with maybe the exception of little white throwing in one.
Oh yes... I believe this is EXPECTING to win... point proven once again. Jaron's once again in second place.

Jaron, i'm not sure how you came to the conclusion that Middleton had the best defense in the state. We gave up 12 total goals, with a new goalie, to you in 3 games (that's 1 goal per quarter). Trev and your "best in the state" gave up 21...11 in the state champ game. Not to mention, our entire starting defense was unanimously voted to the mala team.
After the last few gamesf we've played, I thought that you'd remember how good the rohrer's and our d was...

I must apologize for muckfadison. He is a teammate of mine on notre dame. a few things u should know is that he is about a foot shorter than anyone else on any team, he takes "low-risers" from 40 yards out and whifs everytime, and he is a compulsive Braveheart watcher, sometimes viewing it 3 or more times in one sitting. My point is that you guys anger troubled children like muckfadison. he really only wants peace and harmony between gb and madtown, but is confused by these posts. he is right in saying that appleton will have a pretty good team this year. one of their guys is quite amazing. I play with him in indoor and he dominates. But no matter what kind of miraculus team ND can raise this year we're still gonna have a hard time beating appleton much less a madison team such as verona. I personally have never played against or even seen a verona or middleton game. i really don't know what u guys are capable of, but from what i hear... you're capable. the fact is that your team(s) has not played us (ND) for like 3 years, and i would throughly enjoy a game against a skilled team. i really dont know why we havnt played verona or middleton or any other team outside our conference, but hopefully this year we will. and it doesn't matter if we're gonna get our asses handed to us, but DON"T ASSUME THAT GREEN BAY's SKILLS RESIDE IN TWO TEAMS (SW and bayport) cuz frankly, from what i've seen they're not gonna be too hot this year. all right, i wish u well.

"the only people to be recruited from wisconsin are from madison."
Hey...not entirely true. Some Milwaukee guys are getting recruited (very few compared to the talent pool of Madison), albeit only DIII, but recruited nonetheless...
I'm just playin' tho; no harm no foul. Does anyone know how Sollenberger likes Whittier? I'm quite intrigued, yet know nothing about the school beyond what Coach Connor told me over the phone...
On another note, the entire state of WI laxers need to unite for the betterment of the sport. With having such a small a laxer population as we have, regional factions (thank you Thomas Jefferson) cannot arise to destroy us. Arguments are healthty, yet they've become all to frequent and all too hostile. Let's all just relax, beacuse, who knows, Madison, GB and Milwaukee players may all end up on one "all-star" or "all-state" team down the road...and Madison guys, please don't say the team would only consist Madlaxers....

Verona didn't play ND last year we played Appleton, which I'm led to believe was the best GB team last year, correct? We won 12-6. From what my coach from last year, left to coach at denver university, Notre Dame wouldn't play us last year. Whether thats true or not i'm not sure but all of the seniors remembered the game a few years back and wanted to play you again. As for verona this year, we lost our top 3 middie lines, top 4 poles, top 6 attackmen. I'm the only returning starter, so playing us this year would prove nothing. Middleton and West are the madison area teams to play if you're looking for top caliber competition. Sun Prairie would be a very solid team to play as well.
Butters14
12-14-2005, 09:39 AM
I'm not trying to make excuses, i'm stating fact. I have no problem playing you guys, but if you're going to talk trash about last years team you're quite sadly mistaken. Verona's team from last season destroyed far and out the second best team in the state 11-4. You say you're a first class team? I'm saying you can only prove it by playing first class competition. Heres a list of first class teams this year... Middleton, Madison West, Milwaukee Marquette. prove it on the field
Butters14
12-14-2005, 10:53 AM
OK lets get this straight, you didn't have the PRIVELAGE to play Verona this past season because you couldn't even win your own conference. The team that did win your conference we beat quite convincingly, 12-6. You were the third best team in your conference behind Wausau and Appleton, so don't try to say you're a top tier team. Second of all, I started playing lacrosse as a sophomore, I didn't start playing goalie until I was a junior, and I'm arguably one of the top 2 goalies in the state. Don't bring this bs about lack of experience, you've had just as much as I've had if not more.

first of all muckfadison does not represent the intelligence in this school.
Second of all im not sure your argument that because you beat a team that beat us you are therefore better than us holds up. we all have different styles of play so i dont think it is fair to say that you would automatically kick our asses.
I was a freshman the first time we played you so I cant really say anything about why we refused to play you the first time. However, when we did play you. It was the worst display of sportsmanship on your part that i had ever seen. I recall people yelling at our coach, throwing helmets around, swearing at our team, etc... So we left when the game was over.

gee how do i defend the madison conference? Oh yes I know, Madison has won every state championship, Green Bay has never even gotten to the championship game. I also recall a couple years ago in milwaukee when Verona beat your "Green Bay All Star Team", quite handily I recall. Verona also thoroughly handled the Milwaukee "all star" team this year. Don't even consider comparing yourself to last years verona team. Seriously until you guys win something you really cant talk trash. Madisons on top until someone poses a challenge.

12-14-2005, 01:33 PM
True, we had a few players on the team who...well, weren't good sports. We put up with them all four years, and no matter what we did to try and control them, they got out of hand from time to time. Please don't take their behavior to personify that of the Verona program.
But after the game we're talking about, no one threw helmets, yelled at your coach, etc. We had no reason to. We were smug in the fact that we had just proved our worth in the state, and showed you guys that we can back up our talk. I remember shaking hands, walking off the field, and listening to your coach comment loudly "I question your kids' schools, coaches, and parents. You're a bunch of trashy goons."
Verona consisted mainly of a bunch of hockey and football players who joined lax as an off season sport. That's how we played lax too; physical, but usually the hits were clean. Every team takes a cheap shot now and again, but whenever someone on Verona took one (usually one or two players who had no self-control), everyone made a stink about it because "they're winning, there's no need to take a cheap shot. What a bunch of trashy goons."
Now I don't know what other sports the players from Green Bay play - badminton, soccer, basketball, chess from the look of it - but out-of-state referees have come in to watch our games and have agreed that we play very similarly to how it's played everywhere else. If the Bay Valley isn't ready to play physical, then you aren't ready to play outside of your own conference. It's a part of the game, and when you're able to control the ball like most decent teams can, you won't have to worry about getting pushed around by bigger teams.
So if you really want to play Verona so bad, then dig the sand out of your vagina and strap on your pads, because they're not going to wear Maxi Pads just so you guys don't *****.

i have no problem with anyone playing physical. i always hate how lombardi, coach of SW, always complains about ND being too physical. they have more of a soccer mentality which is run. What muckfadison said about "east-coast pansies" was completly ridiculous. Even trying to compare a east coast team to wisconsin is pitiful, much less a mediocore team like ND or Appleton. As i've realized over the past two years the more skill you get the less actual hitting u do, not to say that u shouldnt knock a kid on his a$$ when he cant pick up a friggin ground ball, but u get my point. Notre Dame has three returning starters from last year, and the rest of the positions we hope to fill with some of our more talented football players. Don't know how thats gonna work, but in all honesty i think we have a chance at beating out Wausau and Appleton for the conference. I know thats probably not much to Madison, but whatever kind of competition we can get were gonna play our hardest and go off the field with no regrets. In closing i'd just like to say again, i apologize for my dumba$$ teammates (muckfadison, madtownlaxsux) who can't even have an intelligent discussion without making refernece to how you guys supposedly suck and can't back it up or whatever. i alredy told u about muckfadison, and the other kid is just as bad. so hopefully we can forget about our online chatting abilities and play some lacrosse.

You know, if you want to set your sights on the upper-tier madison programs, you should be sure to beat menasha first...then we'll talk.
Eclipse
12-14-2005, 03:47 PM
You all contradict yourselves way to much in GB. First we played all finnese like "East coast panzies." Last time i checked when we played Menasha a few years ago in state they refused to ever play us again because were too physical. Verona did the same thing to ND a few years ago.
Second lets clean up this getting recruited by crappy illinois schools. Last time i check there was no NCAA team in Illinois so strike 1. Second Kevin Bice was recruited by Goucher in Maryland. Jace Rauman was recruited by St.Leos in Florida. Brad Sollenberger was recruited by whittier in California. Brad Campbell got recruited by Mars hill. Strike 2. On top of that players like me, butters, urso, Alex, Neuman, and boyd have all been recruited by a fair share of D1, D2, and D3 programs across the country. Strike 3...take a seat.
Alright then youre still better then us and we have no class right? Lets take the Brewtown showdown of last year where i decided to play for oregon...possibly the worst team in madison. We had a little other help as well from boyd and a few other good players from the madison area. In no way was this team the best in madison. The Mediocre oregon team i played for managed to succesfully stomped the Green Bay all star team by at least 8 goals. Oh yeah, i think we had some eight graders on that team too!
OK so we have been playing our whole lives here in madison right! Wrong. I dont think there was more then two kids on verona and middletons combined teams last year who have been playing since before Freshman year. Understand what its like to pay 10 bucks every sunday in the winter so you can play at an indoor soccer field. Understand what its like every single winter to play in full sweat suits on snow covered fields just to get better. Understand that here in madison...all of the teams have unity, so then realize why we can get 20 players from four teams together in January and play...just to get better. Its called dedication. Do not tell me about working your butt off until you have seen the work many of the players in madison put in because you wont win.
I dont care if youi like madison or not. But do us all a favor. dont tell me we are the guys with no class. If im right you are the one who just came on the forums...and out of nowhere decided it would be fun to call us ******* and girls. Wow thats alot of class.
Not to mention in the last two years Madison Teams have succesfully outscored its Green bay Counterpart 66-31. Almost twice as good :bartmoon:

Marquette#2
12-14-2005, 08:18 PM
A few comments.
1. Don't bring up the Brewtown as a judge of any talent what so ever. Our team that was there had 3 varsity players on it and I assume that many of your teams had very few talented players there as well. The only team there that had a close to full roster was Western Springs and they're from Illinois.
2. I understand that there is little else to talk about now, and thats why people want to talk crap. But when you haven't checked the forum in a total of 36 hours and you come back and have to read through a page and a half of people talking bad to one another just to catch up it is a little bit frustrating. Though it does help you realize how dumb it sounds.
My analysis: Team's change a lot from year to year; however, up until next season Madison owns all bragging rights. All bragging rights, over BayVal and Milwaukee. That's because the winning history lies with them. I remember getting to the State Championship as a Soph and then just being owned (as a team) by Verona. Earlier that day we beat Menasha in a thrilling game, and I was just happy to be there. The next year we were defeated by Middleton in the Semi's by two and contended for the whole game. The rest of the state is catching up, but until we show them otherwise on the field Madison is still king.
So while fighting helps pass the time, it really is pointless.

But seriously I think it would be interesting to play verona and any one else outside of the bay conference who is will to play us. I think that our failure to play alot of different teams the past two years has hurt us and I know i will be pushing for our coach to schedule some more games. So i hope we can all just chill out a little and hopefully play each other sometime soon

12-15-2005, 02:35 PM
As I consider myself one of the originators of lacrosse in Wisconsin (not one of the original 5 from Verona, but soon after), the progression of lax throughout the state means a lot to me. I played one game as an 8th grader, and we started an actual league my frosh year (that's right, I haven't been playing my whole life as earlier mentioned...) hence the beginning of lax in Madison. I fundraised for the program, I helped out at the youth clinics, and I made a push to get youth programs established within individual schools. I've put more time into the growth of lacrosse in the state that I can count.
To settle the dispute that's been raging in this thread, the other areas of the state can't contend with Madison. For the time being. We got a short head start on the rest of the state, and the Verona, Middleton and West programs have fielded very athletic players for some reason. I'm beginning to see this in Milwaukee increasingly, as well as teams like Wausau (watch out...) and Appleton. Since the other teams in the Bay Valley have boycotted playing us, I can't attest to how athletic they are.
What I can say is that the other conferences in the state will narrow the gap in talent in the next year or two. Marquette or U School could really do some damage if they got a solid coach out there (not to hate on your current coaches, I'm talking about someone from the east coast who really knows the game well). Madison's dominance is coming to an end, especially since Verona graduated so much talent, and Middleton will lose much of theirs in the next year. With new teams like Arrowhead and Pius IX fielding teams, I think Milwaukee will have their shot at dominance next. I can see Wausau and Appleton doing well in the coming years, as they both had strong showings this last year, but as far as the other Bay Valley teams go, I expect nothing. It's not because they don't have the athleticism or talent; it's because their coaches are not concerned with the well-being and advancement of their players as much as they are their own reputation, and because by not playing against talented teams, they will struggle to improve.
Verona and Middleton had strong showings in the tournament in Illinois. We won respect for Wisconsin lacrosse, which means that out-of-state teams will be more willing to come and play us now. So you at least owe that much to Madison lacrosse.
Like I said - Madison lacrosse dominates, but it will likely be short lived. Hating on us isn't going to do anything. Playing better teams, or shoveling snow off of a field to go shoot, or playing wall ball in 10 degree weather, now those are the kinds of things that will get you to where you want to be. So quit complaining, quit swearing, quit hating everyone else just because they're better than you...because your time will come, if you let it.
Once again, as much as I want Verona to succeed, I want the state to succeed more so. If the state sends 5 kids to play d3, I don't care who wins conference. If the state sends a kid on a full-ride d1 scholarship, who gives a who wins state. It's still a developing sport, and it's going to change by leaps and bounds in the coming years.
What angers me most of all is that by talking trash about Madison, you're attacking everyone associated with it. That includes all of the players who have gone to college to gain respect for the state. That includes all of the players who started the sport initially in the state, the sport which you now play. You should be less concerned about us "cheap, dirty" Verona players and more concerned about developing your left hand. You should worry less about how Madison dominates the other conferences right now and more on how to change that. Basically, you should stop being so greedy, like we've seen all too often from the GB teams (and your coaches especially) and start taking some pride in the fact that you play such a fun, new sport and that you're a part of its beginnings.

Marquette kid at Oberlin- Ian Mark. He did start our team. Played one year in h.s. and is now playing NCAA which is pretty cool.

Don't forget Jacob Russel, LP/AJ, and (i think a middleton middie) the kid with "the knee braces"...all are playing college of some sort. There was alot of talent that went unrecognized.

I dunno, I'm sure you guys were good, but seriously... nobody from your all-star team probably would have made the cut at a serious program in MI or OH. Did any of your teams play in Midwest Scholastic, how did they you do?
It's cool that you guys have pride. But, it'd be a shame if last year was the high water mark for Wisconsin.
I know I'm about to get hated on, and Eclipse is about to name more sick laxers from Madison, but y'all just ame awfully close to sayin "We were the best there ever was and the best there ever will be" just now. Y'all take a look at reality before u stroke yourselves like that.
It's cool that sum guys from WI are going to NCAA, but is that such a big deal. You should see the scrubs who get reqruited to all those Middle-Low D3 colleges. That aint sayin nuthin.

what he was saying that everyone who played on the all-star team would have played somewhere in the NCAA. Which in turn would also mean that they would play at a program at OH and MI and even good IL. i have seen the top players from OH, MI and IL and i can completly agree with jaron and back his statement.
in regards to playing with big tournaments or the top players from the midwest events. we dont hear a lot of info about them in the wisconsin area. it took kids actually trying to find out about stuff like the dixie thing that i know a couple of kids played in. if players from our area (the elite ones) would try out for any other team, i would say that they would be one of the starters or probably second line. we do have the talent and just athletic ability to do so

Also i wasnt stroking myself in saying we were the best there ever will be. I am saying we are the best there will be for a few years. I have seen Milwaukee's best and his name is alex, after that u guys kind of drop. In no way will the over all skill level of milwaukee green bay or madison be what it was in madison last season. Milwaukee you have some great talent but its not close to what we had last year.

i agree w/ u guys when u say that the talent down in madison was the best it will be for a long time, but up here we got some extremely good players, maybe not as good as u guys had down there, but were getting really really close to it. i played against u guys downt there for 3 years and ive seen what u can do. last year we had a couple extremely good players, but they just didnt care as much as u guys and kinda wasted theri talent, but if they worked as hard as some of us and u guys, we would be rite up there w/ u guys.

Like i said earlier, the talent pool will now spread to GB and milwaukee. I can say that this may be the last year a madison team wins state for a while...if they win it at all. Although the talent will move i think it may be a few years before it was as good...but it will happen. you guys want to win and want to play better. you will all get what you have been working for.

Green Bay's system may work differently. I know in Milwaukee we had a conference(sectional) tournament, and that decided who went to state. It's essentially the same system as the WIAA; however, everyone qualified so I don't know how much prestige is in that.
Blade- How many of your varsity guys were at the indoor tournament in Brookfield. It was good to see you guys come down, and some of your players had decent size.

3 things: Blade you are probably gonna get banned for swearing
2:no one cares if you were featured on the cover of a magazine
3:The system is the same everywhere. Each city sends the winner of the city tournament to state, except for the host city which sends the regular season champion as well as city tournament champion. EX:
From Madison: Middleton (Reg. Season Champ) Verona (City Tournament champ)
From Milwaukee:Marquette (City Tournament Champ)
From Green Bay: Appleton (City Tournament Champ)

Speaking of the host city issue. Any word on where the game will be played this year? I know it's suppose to be in Green Bay, but what stadium would it be played at?
I'm not a huge fan of the rotating tournament. Pick a nice stadium, and stick with that for years to come. That's how tradition gets built. Madison seems to be the best location, and that's where the majority of the WIAA championship events take place. Seems to make sense.
Also, I think the system is a little skewed, and the host city should not recieve two teams automatically. This isn't saying that Green Bay could not earn a wild-card, but open that extra spot up to the entire state. The best way to choose that team from the entire state, laxpower.com. True, laxpower may not be perfect but it is far better then what we have now. I would hate to see a team that runs the table the entire season lose in a conference tournament on a fluke and not get to go to the show since the host city must send two teams. Thoughts?

Word up here is that its gonna be played in the Banta Bowl this year. it was supposed to be played at NDA, but i guess were getting our field torn up so its in Appleton. i also think that it should be the four best teams in the playoffs, but i think what theyre doing rite now is just trying to promote lax throughout the state. in a couple years however, i think they should just develope a system and stick w/ it for deciding who goes to the state tourney. also i agree w/ the idea of it being in madison, seeing as how it is the state capital and all sports go down there for state championships, but i also hear that the Banta Bowl is extremely nice, so i dont know.

That's cool. Are there any pictures of this place online?
Edit: Just found a few. It looks pretty nice. http://www.lawrence.edu/about/tour/banta.shtml . Only problem is it's two hours away from Milwaukee and Madison. Which will have an effect on the casual fan turn out.

Looks like a tight field...then again so was breese stevens. they should also move the time of the game back like an hour or two...we only got under the lights for like 20 minutes of our game. Sux

Verona Middleton got a solid amoutn of fans, our game inbullrush had so many people show up. Bullrush championship had a big crowd too. State championship too. Lot's of verona students would come and watch because we were so good, Verona's full of fair weather fans.
