2006 florida lacrosse season outlook

[craig21]

how do you guys think everyone will do? who the top players will be? and everything having to do with this season coming up.

[ragnut]

Josh Etzion likely to be the best player in South Florida. Mike von Kamecke probably the best in Central Florida. No reason to believe St. Andrews can't win it all again.

[CFLaxer]

You're forgetting Bj Neller and Jack Nugent

[fenwicklax89]

kind off off topic but......

im goin to a lax camp from dec 27-31st in jupiter florida. its called no limit lacrosse camps. anyone on here (seein as this is florida) goin to this or know anything about it? im curious to see what this is gonna be like

[middie&dLax2]

i havent heard anything about it, do u have a link to a web site?

[fenwicklax89]

i havent heard anything about it, do u have a link to a web site?

http://www.nolimitlacrosse.com/

its a pretty legit camp, run by the guys from maverik lax.

its a day camp that goes from 845-3 for 5 days. im stayin at my aunts house about a half hour away. this is gonna be awesome - escape chicago cold, play lax most of the day then just chill like a vacation should be

[middie&dLax2]

ya its a frosty 76 here today, i bet'll feel nice compared to chicago

[fenwicklax89]

ya its a frosty 76 here today, i bet'll feel nice compared to chicago

its 18 here with the wind chill

[craig21]

wheres mike von kamecke play and what grade is he in?

[ragnut]

wheres mike von kamecke play and what grade is he in?
Bishop Moore -- senior -- already a two-time All-American going for 3.

[craig21]

did he move down from anywhere or was he an original florida kid?

[LymanLax28]

did he move down from anywhere or was he an original florida kid?
He's from Florida.

I had a huge thing typed up and my computer froze :banghead: I'll do it again tomorrow afternoon.

[Visirale]

Man, I wish we were scheduled to play Bishop Moore. Hopefully we'll add them to our schedule. We are playing Gulliver Prep this year... that will be fun.

[Visirale]

Hey Lyman, I watched your fall ball game today.You guys have gotten a lot more physical since the last time I saw you guys. Lots and lots of hitting. It was a fun game to watch. Your goalie's hit on that attack player was insane.

Haha, I also heard your whole "You're hitting more than you're playing" speech.

Still, even though you lost, it was a fun game to watch...

Seminole could be good. But our team is way too polarized. We have two very very good middies, but they both hate each other. We talk so much trash about our own team that we never get anything done. Hopefully we'll get over it...

[craig21]

i think st andrews or winter park will take states this year... i play for nease and i think we play winter park cant wait for that game..just moved down from long island so its my first season down here.

[LaxFL07]

I dont know too much about the south or the upper north so I'll stay away from those, but as far as central FL goes(in my humble opinion)

Winter Park has always been a top competetor and that wont change anytime soon....but I dont see them winning the north region again this year

Bishop Moore is basically in the same boat....but with VK as a senior they have a huge shot at being in states this year cause i think they also return a lot of their midfield from last year(correct me if i am wrong)

Winter Springs graduated all of their top scorers and are returning only 3 starters(1 attack, 1 middie, 1 goalie).....they have a lot to prove but juding by seeing what theiss has done to the program the past few years I think they will be a top team

Oviedo lost Noonan and will have to play behind Gio and Ryan.....i see them having a winning record.....but not getting near states

I havnt seen much from Lake Howell besides their preformance in the Pumpkin Shootout in which they went into the tournament itself as the highest seed....Also look for a strong definse behind the Possums goalie Johnston

Brantley will like usuall have an incredible team....but also like usuall i dont see them turning the corner this year and making it past regionals

Lake Mary will be one of the weaker teams this year with the loss of their incredible defense last year and starting goalie Tyler Mach(not sure on the spelling)

Timber Creek....I think this may be the year of the wolf and they have a damn good shot at representing the north....especially since their returing Coats....an all american last year

Well thats my opinion....feel free to argue or add on

[LymanLax28]

Timber Creek....I think this may be the year of the wolf and they have a damn good shot at representing the north....especially since their returing Coats....an all american last year
You play for TC?

Oh man, I just typed up a season outlook and my computer froze when I went to post it AGAIN. So I'll try it again later.

[Gobbler]

TC suffers from not being able to beat quality teams. Tearing through the lower tier teams is nice, realistically however, they cant get by the top 5 teams in Orlando.
Look it up on LP.

[xinebriated]

I go to lake mary high school, playing this year. Our fall ball team hasnt lost yet (jv) beat lake brantley on saturday.

[middie&dLax2]

is lacrosse a club for u guys??

[laxkid891]

yeah in WPB,FL it is because i go to palm beach central high school and we just got a team last year was our first season and yeah its considered a club.

[xinebriated]

is lacrosse a club for u guys??

at lake mary it is, its a school sport but the school doesnt pay for any of it, all based on donations and fundrasiers

[Laxordie24]

Any FL girls out there up for predictions?

[LaxFL07]

You play for TC?

No...but I still see them fielding a quality team...also a reason they struggled is because when i talk to TC kids they cant stand their coach(he got fired from possums) and many have considered leaving the program because of him

[CFLaxer]

LaxFL07 you have some very nice thoughts, though most of them are wrong. TC has some studs on their team, but they are not deep at all. They have no goalie. And this year is going to be no different from any other year, they talk the talk all during pre-season about how this is their year. But when it comes time to put up or shut up, they cant do it. They get steam rolled by quality teams. TC plays a different kind of lacrosse than everyone else.

[LaxFL07]

Haha.....just a thought....still dont see park winning regionals again though. But more importantly i think that the playoff format is being changed this year so that the state semifinals will bring in all the top teams on the power poll(or something like that) and all in all it will be possible to have a south vs south or north vs north state championship. If that is true it may end up being Gulliver vs SA in the championship.

[PilotShinjiIkar]

Lol, Freedom will get raped because they in three years have been getting less and less skilled players. This year they will only have like 4 starters from last year and even at that 2 to 3 good decent players, rest are very new. Lol I just wanna watch when they play Oviedo, WP, BM, etc.

[Bayhawk]

Need some advice...I may be relocating my family to FLA for the '06 school year. I have 2 sophomores who want to continue to play. Can you all recommended a few schools with varsity programs for us to look at in the Jupiter area? Thanks.

[PilotShinjiIkar]

Need some advice...I may be relocating my family to FLA for the '06 school year. I have 2 sophomores who want to continue to play. Can you all recommended a few schools with varsity programs for us to look at in the Jupiter area? Thanks.

Jupiter has a club program but the powerhouse of Southeastern FL lacrosse is a bit further down. St. ANdrews in Boca Raton which is about an hour and a half away has had the number one team in the state in the last twelve years. Pince Crest, Gulliver Prep are also good or so I hear. But those are even further south. So either settle for the only program that Jupiter has which is pretty new or go down further south for the elite florida programs. But then again their all elite expensive private schools.

[Gobbler]

Your sons could also be the catalyst from wich a competitive program is born. After the top 5 or so teams the level drops off dramatically. Im sure their influence on a new program would only be a positive.

[craig21]

hey bayhawk where are you guys from? I live in St. Augustine and i go to Nease HS i just moved down from LI. Lacrosse is getting pretty good down here. WE have great coaches at Nease and we are a pretty decent team this year. I'm also a sophmore.

[Bayhawk]

From Baltimore. One son at Loyola and one at Hereford. Thanks for the advice everyone.

[longsticklax124]

do any of you guys play for the florida possums? my team played agenst the possums this summer at w and l but they got kicked out for some stupid **** which sucked cause i wanted a rematch we only lost by one the first time we played them.

[bigfootprep53]

if u want north florida the new high school in flagler Matanzas has great coaches. they have Dan Cochi has one of there coachs and they will do good this year and Flagler Palm Coast is decent we have some great players

[bigfootprep53]

i dont but i know a good amount of people that played them. did u play the u-19 team or u-17 team. i tried out but didnt make it

[bigfootprep53]

i dont but i know a good amount of people that played them. did u play the u-19 team or u-17 team. i tried out but didnt make it
bigfootprep53

[longsticklax124]

i duno i think a couple kids had just graduated from college and this one meathead guy was going to limestone. he was sick to say the least

[bigfootprep53]

do u know what his name was. what position did he play

[WSLax13]

do u know what his name was. what position did he play

David Hagel....He played at WS....damn good middie....he was also the reasons possums got kicked out of the war for the south

[longsticklax124]

hey wslax do u know zach garcia i used to live in winter springs florida

[BCHSlax99]

I think Barron Collier is going to run SWFL pretty hard this season

[WSLax13]

Yeah man this is Graig....too bad you moved

[longsticklax124]

o thats not me i just played on a team with him this summer and i play agenst him during the season

[BCHSlax99]

Is weston even a team anymore?

[fllax99]

its my understanding that gulliver and standrews will most likely meet bfore the state final in the playoffs so a pinecrest and gilluver or pinecrest and st andrews final is more likely, but do not leave out winterpark, they have been working very hard to get better and have some new kids. bishop moore was right there at the end to and they have been working also. the road to the 'ship is getting tougher this year.

why did possums get kicked out of war of the south?

[longsticklax124]

they had alcohol and fireworks that was my understanding but ther might have been something else

[valax100]

does anyone know where etzion or von kamecke are going to play?

[LaxFL07]

does anyone know where etzion or von kamecke are going to play?

Etzion is still a junior.....I think VK is going to Delaware

[CFLaxer]

Winter Springs has a SICK midfielder named GALLO!!! U MY BOY GALLO

[LymanLax28]

Alright, here's my 2006 Season Outlook:

South Florida:

I don’t know a lot about the South, but either Gulliver Prep or St. Andrew’s will win states this year. Pinecrest will give them a run for their money, but in the end I think it’ll belong to GP/SA. Etzion will be easily the top player in the South, if not Florida.

Central Florida:

Winter Park: WP will, once again, have a solid team this year. With their massive coaching staff and choice of players, they’ll be one of the top competitors in CFL. As far as I know though, they don’t have any all-star players this year, just a team that works really well together (CFLaxer, correct me if I’m wrong).

Bishop Moore: Top team in CFL this year. Period. They’ll go to states and lose to either SA or GP. Their new goalie is great, they have a sick attack unit, and their strong midfield will be even stronger with VK at middie.

Lake Brantley: I think it’ll be a big rebuilding year for this team. They lost some quality seniors and don’t really have any standout players. The only thing they really have going for them is their speed. Still, they’ll be one of the top teams this year in Central Florida.

Winter Springs: Great team last year, ehhh this year. They lost pretty much their entire varsity team. Other than a couple good players, they don’t have a whole lot else on their side. I don’t expect much from them this year, but you never know.

Lake Mary/Lake Howell: Like always, good teams, but not quite good enough to compete with teams like Bishop Moore and Winter Park.


Summary:

I only talked about teams that have normally been competitors, so if your team isn’t in there, it’s because either A. I don’t know anything about you, or B. You haven’t consistently been one of the top teams in the state.

State Champs: Either Gulliver Prep or Saint Andrew’s
Runner-Up: Bishop Moore
Top SFL Teams: Saint Andrew’s, Gulliver Prep, and Pinecrest
Top CFL Teams: Bishop Moore and Winter Park

[WSLax13]

Winter Springs has a SICK midfielder named GALLO!!! U MY BOY GALLO

haha....thanks....WP has got them sick poles too. But yeah LymanLax28....I agree we did lose our whole team so Im not arguing that where you coming from isnt a valid argument, but I have to put forward that we had a lot of unsung players last year who were always able to put forward and do their jobs well and contribute but were hidden behind that senior talent. So dont disregard us compltley.

[CFLaxer]

Winter Park: WP will, once again, have a solid team this year. With their massive coaching staff and choice of players, they’ll be one of the top competitors in CFL. As far as I know though, they don’t have any all-star players this year, just a team that works really well together (CFLaxer, correct me if I’m wrong).



It is true WP doesnt have as many all-stars as last year, but they are returning the starting goalie, two of the leading goal scorers, and a mid-field that is probably the best fundamentally sound units in central florida. Last year WP had a ton of talent, but too much talent can be very very bad. Kids start wanting to win games just by themselves, or worse they start playing like all-stars. When a team works as a team, and has a few good players mixed in, that is a recipe for success.

[craig21]

Need some advice...I may be relocating my family to FLA for the '06 school year. I have 2 sophomores who want to continue to play. Can you all recommended a few schools with varsity programs for us to look at in the Jupiter area? Thanks.


our coach also is an ex maryland alumni. He was an All-American for the terps in lax but i forgot the years.

[John Spartan]

either SA or gulliver will be knocked out before states because they meet in the quarters, this is a fact

[bigfootprep53]

y do u always rule out flagler

[CFLaxer]

Because they have never given anyone a reason to count them in.

[Wolves Lacrosse]

Bishop Moore is basically in the same boat....but with VK as a senior they have a huge shot at being in states this year cause i think they also return a lot of their midfield from last year(correct me if i am wrong)


Timber Creek....I think this may be the year of the wolf and they have a damn good shot at representing the north....especially since their returing Coats....an all american last year

Well thats my opinion....feel free to argue or add on
Yeah Timber creek has somethign this year. And its not only coats, expect a few more all americans to add to the timber creek list.

As for Bishop Moore, they do look like the team to beat this year. They took timber creek down in GPS but timber creek had just come off an overtime win against winter springs not 5 minutes before so they played tired and you could tell.

As usual, its going to be an interesting year

[NOOB]

Lake Mary/Lake Howell: Like always, good teams, but not quite good enough to compete with teams like Bishop Moore and Winter Park.


Lake Mary is going to be out of the picture this year because of their loss of Rauch and their defense. The next few years will be time for them to rebuild their team. This year Lake Howell should be able to top Lake Mary but not any other quality teams

[Spike205]

they had alcohol and fireworks that was my understanding but ther might have been something else

I played for the 'Possums at the W&L tourney over the summer....to start off yes we did have alcohol, no it was not Hagel it was Chapas and only Chapas, yes we did have fireworks but they were unopened (bought from the trip up through SC, a team for downstairs set off fireworks in the quad in front of the dorms and we were blamed...Thirdly the coaching staff at W&L on the first day had picked a "favorite" team during the tournament which we promptly beat 13-2. After this there was much resentment from the W&L staff...After being kicked out the War For The South refunded our entrance fees and informed us that in the coming year the program will no longer be held at W&L as a result of how the coaching staff handled the situation.

[wolacrosse14]

you're forgetting about Shayne Frost and Reed Reynolds out of THE WO

[vaporstx28]

Yea i agree, Reed Reynolds broke the scoring record, and Shayne Frost is just sick when it comes to the dirty work, he isnt afraid to mix it up a little bit. West Orange is gunna b a competitor this year fellas. look out for the WO.

[Gobbler]

Like your goalie that had a scholarship to Virginia?

[chargerlacrosse]

yeah fenwick i'm going to that no limit camp in j-town with my team and a few of my cousins from VA. i didnt go last year, but i heard the first two days are so are kinda slow (since there are a lotta kids down here that havent played before obviously/or either dont ahve much of a clue in general), but its cool toward the back end...see ya there bro

[Visirale]

Yea i agree, Reed Reynolds broke the scoring record, and Shayne Frost is just sick when it comes to the dirty work, he isnt afraid to mix it up a little bit. West Orange is gunna b a competitor this year fellas. look out for the WO.
Who's the really big defender on WO? He's very... thick?

[Eric]

Whats the deal with the Clubs teams in south florida anyone know anything about Spanish River, Cypress, Douglas, Dwyer?

[wolacrosse14]

Who's the really big defender on WO? He's very... thick?

His name is Jake Anderson, why?

[MSDLAX]

At Douglas we are in our second year. We lost three seniors of substance and have a young team. This may not be our State Champion year (St. Andrews over Gulliver) but many of our young players (8) made the South Florida Select Team as did two (2) seniors. Most have played Fall Ball together at North Broward Prep.

The Varsity coach is one of the few to ever beat St. Andrews - with a club team and become state champion! The Junior Varsity coach coached the U-14 Select Travel team this summer and the U-16 fall ball team. Both are from Long Island and both played College ball -- look for this team to surpise some and humiliate others - but be a team to beat in 2007 and beyond.

[Eric]

Yea u guys did give us a run for our money last year when we played u it was a close game. We lost alot of seniors last year, but i dont think it make a diffrence those guys in my eyes didnt play with heart this year is our time to shine all of the varsity guys have been playing together since 7 grade so i think we gonna be pretty strong on the plus we also got a better coach in my opinion from the one we had last year. So i think its gonna be a hell of a game.

[MSDLAX]

Agreed!

Did you play fall ball this year? I heard there is a new Miami Lacrosse fall program down by you...

Are you guys playing in the St. Andrews Tourney?

[Eric]

Nah that program doesnt start till next year i got a personal invite to that when it starts but i wont be able to play. Parents moving to naples and i staying here in miami two months with a friend just to finish my season then i leave to go play with a school called Palmetto Ridge. Which i here has no shot at winning anything my senior year so i have to win state this year or my goal wont be accomplished. And i cant have that

[ChargerCane7]

Whats the deal with the Clubs teams in south florida anyone know anything about Spanish River, Cypress, Douglas, Dwyer?


Although I don't know much about those schools, I come from a club team, the one at Suncoast High. We hope to do MUCH better now that we don't have to face the "St. Edward's and Cardinal Newman-type" schools in the new setup for the divisions...

Anyone has anything else to say about the new ways of division in the South Florida divisions?

[mikabaloskian]

hey. sorry this is off topic but...anyone know a hs in N.FL worth playing for? im movin down from GA and dont know where there is a team. ive heard of some ocala lax rec league but id like to play school ball...college scouts etc.

[craig21]

hey. sorry this is off topic but...anyone know a hs in N.FL worth playing for? im movin down from GA and dont know where there is a team. ive heard of some ocala lax rec league but id like to play school ball...college scouts etc.


nease in st augustine/ponte vedra...bolles in jacksonville....n episcopal in jax

[bigfootprep53]

there is flagler palm coast and matanzas high skool in flagler county. matanzas is freshman and sophmore rite now at the skool but they have a mll player as a coach. and flagler palm coast has always been a good north florida team. we have won districts twice in the last three years. we just didnt win last year.

sorry forgot bout flagler/matanzas too

[bigfootprep53]

its kool. after this upcoming year the north florida will be up for grabs cuz it is usually flager winning it but now there is two districts for north florida and next year flagler has no one

[LaxFL07]

its kool. after this upcoming year the north florida will be up for grabs cuz it is usually flager winning it but now there is two districts for north florida and next year flagler has no one

Well id hate to say it but central florida is included in the north florida region also, and flagler cant even keep up with any quality team from the central florida area. So to say that flagler is usually winning is incorrect.

[Visirale]

I assume at least most of the CFL teams have started conditioning... Sticks and pads are allowed this monday. How does your team's outlook seem thus far?

Seminole is going to be the best it has in a few years. Our middies are in amazing shape... one runs marathons, ha. We have a really great attack line and defense is seeming to shape up... we just don't really have a goalie yet.

Our new coach is great. He played D2 ball at Ohio-Wesleyan. And he's been reffing here since then. He actually knows the game, and it's going really well..

[bigfootprep53]

im sayin the teams in north florida not central so which the person i was talkin to knew exactly what i met most likely. i was talkin about the jax, st augustine, flagler and all those teams in those counties so talk when u know what ur talkin about dude

[bigfootprep53]

also what team do u play for

[CFLaxer]

didnt bolles own flagler last year?

[bigfootprep53]

yea but what skool do u go to

[Visirale]

Ah. Tonight is a beautiful night. I finalized my stick set up (I was going back and forth between heads...) got everything drilled in, taped up... my gear is in my car. I can't wait for 2:30 tomorrow afternoon.

And if you're curious

STX Ti Pole
DeBeer Wizard

STX AL6000 short stick (blah, but it's just to screw around with)
Gait Chaos
STX Power end cap

Brine F-15 pole (backup)

[LaxFL07]

also what team do u play for

Winter Springs

[staaLAX3]

yo, im in 8th grade and i live in PA, but im going to be down in South Florida for Easter(naples/bonita area) and i was wondering if there was a chance id get to see any good lacrosse while im there?

[RichfromBoston]

What about Bolles?
They had a great season last year and will be better this year

[wildcatslax21]

Let me lay it down for you guys
Top 4 in central FL

Bishop Moore
Winter Park
Timber Creek
Lake Howell

Hands down

Some of you might be underestimating TC and LH, but they can contend this year, all the good teams from last year lost everyone, leaving more room, the only team that really strengthened over the summer is bishop moore, they now have two transfer possum players, with michigan, radar, and VK at middie, there gonna be sick. Of course Haus is the **** so you guys better watch out for him.

[LaxFL07]

Thats a pretty sound prediction. But does anyone know anything about lake howell's attack and midfield? I know their D will be good behind Alex and Frankie but that has usually been the strenth of their team. A lot of people say they only came out of the pumpkin top seed because of an easy schedule.

[wildcatslax21]

----------

[wildcatslax21]

What about Bolles?
They had a great season last year and will be better this year

Oh yea...Bolles...Didn't they quit the GPS because they were in last?
But yeah, they'll go the distance!

~Spread Eagle

[wildcatslax21]

Umm... RYAN AIKEN! hes sick and their lead attack men. Def. an all-american candidate this year. other then that their midfield is sound, no allstars but they are all legit players. Their D is definately their strongest unit. The best games this season will be any combo between TC LH WP BM.

~Spread Eagle

[Wolves Lacrosse]

Yeah well, i think those for teams TC, BM, WP, and LH are going to be the teams to watch this year. Although im not sure about lake howell, im just going off of what you guys are seeming to agree on. During the fall ball i think TC beat LH. But i might have my facts all wrong. Also, from what people keep saying WP isnt the team they used to be. I Dont think that is all true so im not going to believe a thing untill i watch them play in their Orange vs Black game this weekend.

[LymanLax28]

So did you guys have try-outs? How'd you do?

[Visirale]

So did you guys have try-outs? How'd you do?
As of now, we're running about 35 people, and we'll probably keep all of them... on one team. If we got up to 40 or 45, we'd do JV and Varsity, but we don't want to be like last year and only have 2 subs (not 2 lines, 2 subs...)

[wildcatslax21]

who is this wolveslacrosse?
I know a bunch of kids from TC, maybe I know you, whats your number?

[wildcatslax21]

Were not forgetting anyone out of WO. WO sucks.

[wildcatslax21]

who do you play for Visirale?

[Laxordie24]

who do you play for Visirale?
check his profile, he plays for Seminole High

[Mjt615]

Watch out this year -- it's all competitive.

[wildcatslax21]

Uhhh...Wrong.
BM's faceoff middie Dave Rule is Lombards prodigy, he can faceoff just as well, he just lacks a little in the stick skills department. BM is possibly stronger than it has ever been this year

[Darkness1]

Who do you play for CFlaxer?
Just wait till you see TC this year, Top 4 in CF easy

[CentralFlaFan]

Uhhh...Wrong.
BM's faceoff middie Dave Rule is Lombards prodigy, he can faceoff just as well, he just lacks a little in the stick skills department. BM is possibly stronger than it has ever been this year
Rule has a much harder shot

[PuLsE_SpEeD]

Hey, quick question. I just moved to the Bay area and I'm going to Robinson HS (which doesn't have a lax team unlike Plant) but unfortuantly due to where I'm living right now I can't go to Plant.

Does anyone know about any lax programs that take place during spring season?

[wildcatslax21]

I dunno I was shooting with Lombard the other day and his shots rippin right now...Maybe in comparison to Lombard last year and Rule this year, but since college Lombards shot has only gotten stronger.

[wildcatslax21]

So tell me you guys. Give me an indepth analysis of these teams. I wanna know what you think...

BM
WP
TC
LH

Tell me all that you know and tell me how you think they will do this year

[CentralFlaFan]

So tell me you guys. Give me an indepth analysis of these teams. I wanna know what you think...

BM
WP
TC
LH

Tell me all that you know and tell me how you think they will do this year
My money is on either WP or BM in the finals. TC and LH cannot be taken lightly however. Oviedo a sleeper?

[LaxFL07]

Mjt615, Brantley didnt win districts last year. They lost by one goal to WS in the district final. WS lost to BM in regional semis and everyone knows the rest.

[wildcatslax21]

With Oviedos loss of noonan theyll have a mediocre season

[wslax20]

dont rule out ws this year. we lost a ton of seniors, and returning only 3 starters but we do have a lot of young talent. i do believe bishope moore will the team to beat this year but wp is always a talented team. This year will be interesting.

[wildcatslax21]

What do you guys think of Timber Creek?

[wolacrosse14]

thats why i had 4 goals and 1 assist against your defense last year right.

[wildcatslax21]

Kid i've never heard of you, no one has ever heard of you. You and your team aren't and never have been considered a threat. West Orange? be serious pal, no one considers your team or anyone on it to be good.

When your losing to teams like Lyman, come on. Face it Shayne Frost and Reed Reynolds, you guys are nothing. The best players at a crappy program. You guys must be so proud

4 goals against our backup D. We wanted to get out 2nd string, because thats all we need to beat west orange. but yeah we'll watch out for you. lol

[MSDLAX]

Sam -

You should check out www.parklandlacrosse.com they just started this year too and they have a decent website and some good things in place.

[LymanLax28]

So tell me you guys. Give me an indepth analysis of these teams. I wanna know what you think...

BM
WP
TC
LH

Tell me all that you know and tell me how you think they will do this year
I'll just speak about BM, because honestly, I don't know a whole lot about those other teams.

Like everybody's been saying, Bishop Moore is going to dominate this season. Winter Park will give them a run for their money, but in the end, BM will come out on top. They've got a strong team this year (possibly even stronger than last year), with Rule facing off, VK at middie, Billy/Nick Gio (Austin's little brothers) and Chris Soj (Tim's little brother) at defense, plus Haus, little Haus, Mooney, McEnerney, and C-Vas. I think Bishop Moore is definitely going to be the team to beat this year.

[MatanzasLAXD47]

LOL, no one calls him Von Kameke, its V.K.

Matanzas is a first year school but will probably go .500, seeing as we have half of Flagler Palm Coasts varsity team from last year.
Next year, its on. MHS is going all the way, and the year after that JESUS. State title/10.

[rosslax37]

Hey my team is comming down from Ohio to play some Florida teams on spring break. Last year we played Pinecrest, Gulliver, and St Andrews. Im pretty sure we won against Pinecrest but lost by one goal to both the others. (same schedual this year) I was wondering how these three teams are looking this year and how many starters they are returing this year. Thanks

[wildcatslax21]

Alright, here's my 2006 Season Outlook:

South Florida:

I don’t know a lot about the South, but either Gulliver Prep or St. Andrew’s will win states this year. Pinecrest will give them a run for their money, but in the end I think it’ll belong to GP/SA. Etzion will be easily the top player in the South, if not Florida.



Okay, youre a little wrong here. It is MY humble opinion that Etzion is EXTREMELY overrated. He was being shut down by mediocre defenders from possums everytime they played last fall. VK is easily the best in florida. hes the fastes shooting, running, strongest, most agility, AND gonna be a 3 time AA.

As for winter park, your crazy kid, how can you say they don't have any allstars, haven't you heard of BJ Neller, Jack Nugent, and their face off guy Adam Baumgarten is sick. Clay patterson is the best defender in the state, 30 times better then JP Rice from St. Andrews, but he blew his whole knee out, and to my beleif he is out for the season.

You obviously have your facts wrong kid.

But how do you think you guys will do this year lyman, hows your team shaping up?

[wolacrosse14]

2 of my 4 goals were in the beginning of the game against your man down team, so i guess if thats your second string but i think i would want my man down team to be good, but i will stop talking trash and see what happens this year.

And since im writing you back i had a question, Do you play on Possums or TeamFLC?

[flalaxgoalie]

Ur a bishop moore kid judging from checking ur post history, but i could be wrong. anyways, Clay patterson (?) over jp rius from saint andrews. Clay has improved tremendesly and is a good defensement but not at rius's level. Rius shut out park's best player last year to nothing and went to blue chip camp this summer which is best 90 juniors in THE NATION. wheere half the kids are already commited to the top 5 syracuse virginia such schools. UVA was interested but he ended up as a D1 commited to Bucknell (acording to laxpower). However i agree with you that BJ neller is a baller and so is von kamacke (going to top 20 school deleware i hear???). I havnt heard of the other guys. cant judge a player by fall ball. Etzian had 7 on winter park last year and didint play in 4th quarter and then made the all star team as a sophmore at top 205 recruting camp (500 kids mostly junioors), he can only get better. Good luck "Wildcatslax" on ur season and get off the forums if ur just gna talk trash.

Alright, that didn't come across the way I wanted it to. What I meant was that you guys don't have one single player that the whole team kind of revolves around, like many other teams do, what you guys have is an all-around solid team.

[flalaxgoalie]

I agree, Saint andrews almost always finds itself in the state championship because of their teamwork and coaching and solid all around players. There all on the same page.

[bigfootprep53]

i think MHS will beat fpc this year

[MatanzasLAXD47]

No doubt dude.

O'Campo is incredible, his stick skills are CRAZY.

[bigfootprep53]

but greg can shut him down

[CFLaxer]

I thought matanzas was only having a JV this year?

[bigfootprep53]

no they r one of a few sports at the skool that is havin varsity

Alright, listen...Clay Patterson played LSM las year when park played andrews in the championship. I do play for the possums. When the possums played south florida (aka St. Andrews) in the fall last year, Clay shut Etzion out. He didn't get 1 assist, goal, etc...On the other side of the field, JP Rius was getting destroyed by Matt Haushalter of Bishop Moore. No offense to Haus, but who should be harder to guard? Him or Eztion? Yet some how Haus had a couple of goals to go with some assist, unlike Josh Etzion. UVA wasn't interested in Rius for his atheltics, it was his academics that were going to get him in there. Another reason why he went to Bucknell, a far better school academically than UVA. Clay went to Top 205 and so did BJ Neller, so don't act like Etzion is some kind of god because he went. The main difference between Clay being better than JP and Etzion being over rated is in the schools. WP does not recruit players from the north like golderg. Look at it, St. Andrews is an all star team. Anyone can stand out when they are playing with other all stars. I have played against St. Andrews and their D is sick, not only JP but the other two. They are almost just as good, he has room to make mistake with the other two out there. Etzion is playing with a bunch of other studs too ex: Kane, Harry Larry, the right side attackmen that they have, etc. Not to take anything away from WP but they have a few all stars in BJ Neller and Jack nugent, and a superb Defender in Clay Patterson who has the to hold their Defense up on his own. Clay doesn't have the help from his other defenders like JP does. So who ever is posting this needs to think about that for a second. What school do you play far man? Are you on a travel teams or do you just run your mouth and then hide on the field? Oh and good guess that I am a Bishop Moore player, it's completely evident in my name Wildcatslax21! haha retard. You're Ridic!

~Spread Eagle

[wildcatslax21]

We know whats going to happen this year. and "the WO" aren't gonna be anywhere near it

And i would hope that you would score against our man down team. Its our best D thats true, but you also have one more man on the field. You should always score during man up ideally. So its really nothing to be proud of. You should stop talking trash, and you shouldn't think you're a badass because you broke the scoring record at WO. way to go.

Yes I play for possums

[flalaxgoalie]

You based ur entire opinion on some southern florida players entirly on ONE single Fall ball game. Nobody is calling anybody god. And the possums players DID indeed get the best of sum of the southern florida studs. But when it comes down to it Rius stepped it up the 5 days at Blue Chip (top 90 juniors in nation) and had offers from schools such as Navy, Bucknell, Providence and others (this is factual), while Etzion made all star team over 5 days at top 205 where BJ and the WP defensemen DID NOT. Five days judged by 100 college coaches..... All these kids are sick athletes and lacrosse players and their talent can be argued EITHER way. However there is no need to talk all this trash about whos better and whos not. The more good players in florida the better...

[wolacrosse14]

I dont think Im a badass im just frustrated because about a quarter of our team cant catch and throw. I know were garbage, we were decent last year and the trash talk was just for fun, Im glad you talked back it was hilarious but i will give you a little respect cuz u play for possums cuz i play for FLC cuz i didnt make possums. So i will give you that, but i still worked your d poles. So are you one of the two names on laxpower cuz my name is up there and i didnt know if you were one of the two winter park guys on there.

[wildcatslax21]

What do you guys think of Timber Creek this year? Lake Howell too?

[MountainGoat22]

Hows Lake Brantley doing this year? They def. have some speed on there middie lines (Kyle Beckman, Bryden Feigery) and some good poles (Zach Engel, JB Park). I think they are playing Oveido tonight.

[FLax]

What do you think of......what about.....Same **** every year and it is still just Winter Park and St. Andrews

[craig21]

theres a lot of talented teams/players in FL this year its gonna be a good season of lax and many teams that aren't as recognized are gonna be giving good teams a run for their money. some of the northern Fl teams that havnt been as strong in past years are becoming stronger and better.
thats just my opinion. it will be fun

[Visirale]

How did the seminole jamboree go?

SHS didn't show because our coach got deathly sick overnight and our assitant coach doesn't have the paperwork in, so we couldn't have her coach... Oh well. Lyman, we'll see you on the 15th....

[wildcatslax21]

I dunno, BM is insane this year. They could give park a run for their money. Its best not to be to cocky and underestimate teams.

[fllax99]

:bartmoon: bm wins the north easily this year, they have to with all the talk they spew on this forum...right winterpark? your gonna just lay down and let BM rule the central state?

[ChargerCane7]

Yo Eric...

Sorry i did not ask before, but who do you play for? I mean, we had a lot of close games last year...

Anyway, I went to the Preseason Classic over at Atlantic High...
We played both Killiam(possible spelling) and Coral Springs, i think we tied the former and lost to the latter. In alternating quarters. For about three hours. From the looks of things, we have work to do before the Valentine's Day game versus P.B. Central...

[Wolves Lacrosse]

Well today was the jamboree. It was a lot of fun having all the teams in one place to meet eachother and scope out your competition for the year. How did everyone perform and how did it influence your ideas on whose who out there? I wasnt able to watch much of the bishop moore/winter park game but i imagine it was good.

WP was up 2-0 in the beginning, then BM came back to score I believe it was 2.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
WP beat the BM girls though :agree:

Yeah, the TC/WP game got cut short because of the rain, which made us angry becaue the other games did not stop and as soon as they called the game, the rain began to let up. At the end it was 2-1 for TC.

[FLax]

that must mean that timber creek is a ****load better then Winter Park and Wp was scared to play them...as someone watching the game it was easy to see that WP was going about 20% speed and my friend said that it was there 4th string goalie was in.

[CFLaxer]

they did have their 4th string goalie in, and they were running all of the middi lines trying to get everyone worked in. its a jamboree, it doesnt mean anything. TC beat WP last year in the jamboree and look what happened during the season...

[Wolves Lacrosse]

We all know this. Nobody was making any assumptions based on a 15 minute game. Foy and coats werent playing either on the TC side. We all noticed that the 1st string goalie wasnt in. Your goalie plays for the possums

[ifx]

#14 from WO is nothing, anyone who thinks this kid is good must be dumb, his lacrosse career ends in a club or division 3 lacrosse team. WO is nothing.

[FLax]

Yes i was being sarcastic it just sounded like wolves lacrosse felt like WP was scared to play them and that TC was much better then WP

[BTlaxripper]

[QUOTE=LymanLax28]State Champs: Either Gulliver Prep or Saint Andrew’s
[QUOTE]

It will be St. Andrews. I will bet my life on it.

I saw St. Andrews and Gulliver play in a jamboree yesterday. It was 11-2 St. Andrews going into the 3rd quarter until the game got called due to a concussion.

Coach Goldberg runs a college offense, with the middie up top running in. Always cutting, always shooting, always moving the ball. Go watch them play.

As for defense, #13, Christian something was the only one I remembered. Very good stick control.

As for offense, I can't remember all of the, their entire offense is great.

We could've hung with them last year, this year nobody in Florida will be able to. I guarantee it Goldberg will take it home again.

[wildcatslax21]

The TC WP game will be a good game this season. Neither of the teams were scared and TC has developed as a quality team, they can hang now.

I also thought it was funny that WO is still talking.

[wolacrosse14]

who are you to talk, what school do you play for and where you going to college?

[Wolves Lacrosse]

Wolacrosse14. The whole state of florida is "talking". Your garbage. You have no reason to believe that you are any sort of threat to the top quality teams. Everybody caught a look at the WO/Olympia game and it looked real ugly.

[wolacrosse14]

yea, ifx your right both of those excuses you listed are true so u get two moans for the day, but you just start busting on me and i wasnt even talking trash and also you still havent said where you play and or where your going to college, yea im on laxpower going DIII but i dont think your name is up there. And wolves where are you coming from, if the whole state is talking about me then i cant be garbage cuz im good enough for you to talk about me. The real good players wouldnt even care and i know there isnt any TC kids on laxpower yet.

[CFLaxer]

A lot of the best kids in florida just go on to play club in college. I've seen u play, and i've also seen BJ neller play, hes quite a bit better than you and laxpower says hes going to florida state. so what credibility does "laxpower" in guaging a players talent? I also know for a fact that some kids from central florida who were on the possums had offers for DIII and DII schools, but would rather stay in state. Stop tooting your own horn buddy.

[wolacrosse14]

im not saying thats a good thing or a bad thing, im just wondering what reason these people are talking trash when i didnt even say anything in the first place. Im just saying that there isnt anything wrong with a DIII or club team, because yea most of the good players in FL go to a club team. CFLaxer your on FLC?, school/pos.?

[wpramrod]

never speak of west orange lacrose again they suck

lYMANLAX28 there is no way in hell bishop moore beats winter park at regionals..
Winter Park has a lot of talented players such as Bj Neller and Jack Nugent. Not to mention a lot of really good Sophmores

name some "really good" sophomores

ws is not a threat this season

[QUOTE=wolacrosse14]you're forgetting about Shayne Frost and Reed Reynolds out of THE WO[/QUOTE


Who the F is Shayne Frost and Reed Reynolds nobody knows you and nobody will care if you dont win games WO lacrosse... give me a break

[wpramrod]

The best match up of the year will be Wp vs BM

[atakakiller3014]

Wp is the best team in the state of Florida. They have the best line of defense and they are all juniors. Their weak at middies but they have Jack for that. And at attack they have a lawn ferry and Bj. SO that pretty much makes them the most dominateing team in the history of lax.

-3014

[atakakiller3014]

Bm is not deep at all, if they suffer one injury this year they will have no chance at being over .500. They will never get to the state championships as long as WP is a school (FOREVER).

[wildcatslax21]

OK listen. Corey Noonen, mayber you've heard of him played for Oviedo last year, possibly the sickest lax player ive ever seen (personally), and best player in FL last year.
He plays for florida state
On the other hand, Choda, and 2 kids from freedom are going to St. Leos a DII school.
So lets think about this just because your going to a DIII school, doesn't mean your good, and doesn't mean you'll get any play time. And we all saw WO play at the jamboree, and guess what. NO ONE standed out. not you, or any one else. so shut your mouth and get some skill. The only reason everyone is talking about you is because you posted that you honestly think you're one of the best players in FL. be serious. you suck. your garbage. Lax power doesn't gauge how good an individual player is. and just because your going to DIII does NOT mean your good. so since you've gotten ripped on by everyone and still haven't managed to get a good comeback. I suggest you just cancel your account, and quit lax, because you suck.

That seemed a little unnecessarily harsh. Do you go to WP?

[WSLax13]

About the Noonan thing...yeah he's maybe the best player to ever come out of florida and yes FSU is not a division school...yet. They are doing DI in a few years and that probably drew him in. Also incase anyone was wondering, FSU destroyed mars hill....a DII school.

Good those guys were dick heads, I played in that camp to.

[Slingblade_2]

wat is the best high school team there in florida??:

[FLax]

St. Andrews, Gulliver prep, and pincrest in the south
Winter Park and Bishop Moore in the North/Central

Overall St. Andrews has the rings and the rights to say they are the best, but due to the outlook of some early games it looks like the gap is being closed

[fllax99]

you dont really believe the gap is closing do you? I will say the more cocky SA gets the closer they get to getting upset in a game they should not lose like last night it seems!

Gulliver 10-1
Bishop Moore 11-6
Lake Brantley 16-8 forget this one was close even till half, the second half is where games are won
Pinecrest 6-4

Four of the five best (WP) in the state other than SA :bye:

[zanderaruba]

Josh Etzion likely to be the best player in South Florida. Mike von Kamecke probably the best in Central Florida. No reason to believe St. Andrews can't win it all again.
etzion is nasty. i agree st. andrews will win it all again
