Missouri Lacrosse 2006

[veronaD#02]

Keep in mind this is the lax i come from though, In Wisconsin where kids dont know how to play, they just go out and play to hurt people. Some of the lower tear teams have players who will clear the ball...and throw it at you. Amazing isnt it?

Is that so?

[CoachFauss]

Does anyone have any details on Parkway Central vs. Parkway West or Kirkwood vs. CBC? Looks like those were both great games.

Kirkwood is in position to win their conference now if they beat Fox. Those 5 bonus points might be what they need to make the playoffs. If Fox beats Kirkwood, we'll probably have a 3 way tie in that conference.

And just to verify, did Central beat West? And did it go to OT? STLToday has one thing and Laxpower has something different.

[Eclipse]

Is that so?

LOL storts you know what i meant (Lafollete, waunakee, oregon...)

[oldno24]

Both have it PC beating PW. Laxpower must have been updated.

[Laxmaster2022]

Speaking of dirty teams, how come nobody has mentioned the most talentless and dirtiest team of all... Fox

we played them last year in the JV Tourney and they probly injured 1/3 to 1/2 of our starters, and the s***talking was continuous... honestly so much crap was coming out of their mouths; I'm amazed they could breath

Btw the defenders for D-world that completly shut down burst a couple times was #40 senior Jimmy Bunten who played the first half and a sophomore Kyle Wheeling stopped him in 1 on 1 a few times towards the end of the game. I was suprised by the players that stepped up to the plate on both teams.

[laxdefense5]

De Smet- 8 Lafayette- 7

[Eclipse]

Good game.....

[PSHLax17]

hey eclipse, tell whoever on your team hit my car and drove off after our game that I have his license plate number, school parking tag number, pictures of the damage on both cars and witnesses and if he doesn't contact me i will get the police involved. I don't want to use this forum like this but I have no other way of contacting someone from the team to get the damage taken care of

[PCLaxAttack]

parway central did beat parkway west in OT. It was a good game but central didnt play too well and west played really well. The refs were terrible and missed calls for both teams. Max Holter had 4 goals for pch including the game winner in OT and Mark Prey the PC goalie is dominant. Best one out there.

[Laxer87]

PSHLax17 What type of car hit yours that night? i might be able to help out

[Chaminademid]

The only well officiated games I've seen the head referee was at.

[pshlax18]

PSHLax17 What type of car hit yours that night? i might be able to help out
it was a white nissan maxima but he got the plates and color and pics and everything at the desmet vs laffayette game so its just up to the kid whether he wants to contact him or get the cops involved

[Eclipse]

no need to be discussing this openly, use PM's from now on

[laxme]

Jaron, show him on the field who's better.

Sorry Jaron, I was way off in my estimations.

[oldno24]

What happened with SLUH v Rockhurst?

[Eclipse]

Sorry Jaron, I was way off in my estimations.

ehh, I dont know who you are or what that means.

Anyway SLUH Rockhurst is at 7:30

[Laxer87]

any one know how kirkwoods doing this year?

[CoachFauss]

Anyone know who won the Clayton/Lindbergh or Rockhurst/SLUH games?

[laxme]

Anyone know who won the Clayton/Lindbergh or Rockhurst/SLUH games?

According to Laxpower.com
Rockhurst-17
SLUH-6

Preview for this weekend's big games.
#1. Rockhurst vs. #2. MICDS- MICDS travels to Kansas City to take on the undefeated Hawklettes who riding a 19 game winning streak, MICDS is coming with a 3 game winning streak after suffering a 10-8 loss to DeSmet. Rockhurst needs a win to maintain their track for a #1 seed, and MICDS needs the win to stay in the hunt for a top seed prove they an compete with the top teams. Interesting battle at the face off X between Hannapel and Striler? I believe. MICDS needs to control the tempo and keep the ball out of the potent Rockhurst offense. Wouldn't be surprised to see MICDS come out in a zone D to limit the shots on Brunt, who gave up 10 & 7 goals to DeSmet & South, respectively, whereas 3 yr starter Jason Coleman gave 5 & 6. In the end to much talent on Rockhurst attack for MICDS to keep up with. Spread Rockhurst -5.

Other games with playoff implications.
#4 Lafayette(-7) @ #14 Kirkwood- Lafayette way too much O for a Kirkwood team coming off a surprising win over CBC.
#7 Hickman (-3) vs. #13 Spingfield- battle in the Midwest conference, winner puts themselves in very good position for playoff berth.
#11 SLUH vs. #6 CBC (-2)- which CBC team will show up, the team that beat Lafayette by 5 or the one that lost to Kirkwood in OT?
#10 Ladue vs #9 Parkway Central (-2)- Ladue is undefeated on the year, but this is their first game vs. a team with a .500 or better winning %. Sorry CoachFauss, the hopes of an undefeated season come to an end.

The week ahead:
Thursday #2 MICDS vs. #6 CBC
#11 SLUH vs. #4 Lafayette

[Eclipse]

Nice report Laxme

[oldno24]

Agreed, very nice. Keep it up!

[laxme]

I'd be interested to hear from DeSmet or Parkway South guys as they have played both Rockhurst & MICDS.

Also, anyone know what happened to Ryan Walsh from MICDS '03. He went to Denver his Freshman year, and I went to check their website to see what he has been doing and he's nowhere to be found. I find it a little disheartening to see this as he was a very good lacrosse player.

[oldno24]

Ryan Walsh transferred to SMU where he has hooked up with former MICDS Rams Chip and Jono Hiemenz, as well as lest year's Desmet goalie Michael Tessier.

[laxme]

Interesting to see Sandy Boyce coaching that team. He has really solid background for a club coach, I know he moved to Dallas to try to get with Mark Cuban to get an MLL team down there. At least they have that going for them.

Not to minimize their achievement of play club lacrosse, but couldn't they have gotten the same collegiate atmosphere of an SMU at another school maybe with DIII lacrosse? I wouldn't go as far as to say it is a waste of talent, but it is not completely fulfilling their talent. I know situations are different, and people have different priorities, but it is not the choice I would make.

Rockhurst-17
SLUH-6

Preview for this weekend's big games.

#10 Ladue vs #9 Parkway Central (-2)- Ladue is undefeated on the year, but this is their first game vs. a team with a .500 or better winning %. Sorry CoachFauss, the hopes of an undefeated season come to an end.


This is definitely our biggest game so far this season - hopefully your prediction is wrong and we can come away with the W. We know Central is going to be tough.

And it looks like Clayton beat Lindbergh by 1 to answer my own question.

One other game with playoff implications - Fox @ Kirkwood on the 4th. If Kirkwood wins that game, they win the conference and the 5 bonus points. If Fox wins, we could have three teams at 3-1 in that conference and I'm not sure who would get the 5 bonus points.

These last 2 weeks are going to be exciting...

[pshlax18]

as for MICDS and Rockhurst-MICDS i wasnt as impressed as i thought i was gonna b from burst cuz our d pole shut him down but i also heard he was hurt?? their just a straight up good coached team that can change to situations. Rockhurst moved the ball quick and constantly were cutting which can confuse ur defense if u dont stay on top of it. they play two different games so i think it should b a good matchup

[Eclipse]

Lafayette 10
Kirkwood 9

[Chaminademid]

Jaron did you see your name in the paper the other day?

[Eclipse]

Jaron did you see your name in the paper the other day?

Yea, I dont know what a three headed monster is though haha.

On a note about Kirkwood, they can ball, and obviously can upset good teams like CBC.

[CoachFauss]

Any word on games that are cancelled today? I'm hoping we can play Central today but I have a feeling that I'll be getting a call from the school district anytime.

Shawnee Mission East called off their St. Louis trip so that's one less game for Parkway North, Webster and Ladue.

[Chaminademid]

I'm about to leave for Kansas City, so I assume we're still playing

By 3 headed monster they just mean even if you stop 1 of the heads the other 2 will still destroy you....that kinda thing.

[Eclipse]

haha i know, its just a wierd metaphor

[goalie33fan]

Jaron, what paper.

[Eclipse]

Chesterfield Journal, it was about our whole team.

[wolfie8914]

#10 Ladue vs #9 Parkway Central (-2)- Ladue is undefeated on the year, but this is their first game vs. a team with a .500 or better winning %. Sorry CoachFauss, the hopes of an undefeated season come to an end.



That's funny Laxme....dead wrong.

Ladue 4
Parkway Central 2

[CoachFauss]

I see Webster beat Shawnee Mission South today. SLUH beat CBC and I heard CBC is worried about making the playoffs - I think they are still in it but it might come down to a tie-breaker for the last playoff spot.

Any other scoring updates? Did most of the games get cancelled today?

I heard MICDS' game at Rockhurst was called off. I wonder if that game will be made up at some point. If not, Rockhurst loses out on some potential points because their first alternate game is a 1 point game for them. I still don't think it will cost them the #1 seed if the MICDS game isn't made up.

[laxme]

That's funny Laxme....dead wrong.

Ladue 4
Parkway Central 2

I'm the type of person that doesn't give out respect until it is earned. And this is the first time your team played anyone so it's hard to a read how good that undefeated record is. Now we know, good win. I'd be excited if I were you. Don't read the wrong way. . . Has Ladue ever been in the playoffs?

[fenderstrat3578]

Rockhurst MICDS will most likely not be made up just because both teams schedules are pretty much full, and 9 hours total of driving is a lot for anybody.

The CBC vs SLUH game. SLUH up two, CBC has the ball, time out gold. CBC could have and should have come back, but I guess their stickhandling skills just drained. They missed tons of critical catches and passes on fastbreaks and quicksticks at the end. so Good win SLUH

Playoffs are shaping up to be pretty interesting. Rockhurst will be the 1 seed, MICDS most likely 2, DeSmet 3, and a questionable 4 seed. MICDS and DeSmet might be flipped from how i have them. If anyone can upset rockhurst this year...it will be a playoff to remember, because they are on fire.

next big games upcoming before playoffs: Kirkwood v fox, MICDS vs CBC, MICDS vs Lafayette, Lafayette V SLUH, DeSmet vs SLUH,

[CoachFauss]

Has Ladue ever been in the playoffs?

Not in the last 8 years. Came down to a vote of the coaches a few years ago and we didn't get in which is one reason why we now have a point system for determining who gets in and where they are seeded instead of the coaches voting on the seeding.

As far as how the seedings will go, Rockhurst should get the #1 but there are a lot of teams that could fill in the next few spots. I ran a few scenarios and it looks like 13 points will be enough to get you in but just changing a couple of games, I ended up with the following teams who could finish in spots 2-5:

Blue Valley West
Desmet
Ladue
Lafayette
MICDS
Parkway South
SLUH

There's a big difference between that #2 spot and a first round bye and a #7. A lot will hinge on the outcome of the SLUH/Lafayette and MICDS/Lafayette games.

It looks like the first playoff game of the year will be Fox/Kirkwood. The winner will probably make the playoffs while the loser of that game will be watching when the postseason rolls around.

Other teams who have a good chance of making it:
CBC
Hickman
Parkway Central
Webster Groves

If Central upsets South or CBC upsets MICDS, they could knock the other one out and it would take more than 13 points to get in.

Teams that are probably going to just miss out:
Springfield - need to beat Hickman
Aquinas
Rockbridge - need to beat Hickman or Parkway South

Like I said before, these last couple of weeks are going to be interesting and I'm sure we'll see some upsets which will screw up all of my predictions.

[wolfie8914]

Anybody go see Mike and Casey Powell today?

[fenderstrat3578]

yeah, they were awesome. Mikey is a cool guy, i got to talk to him for a while

[wglax18]

i'm not one to talk trash on these forums but after playing Webster I feel like something needs to be said. First they are the cheapest team I have ever played. They couldn't hit they could only slash because they were afraid of putting on a body hit, and they slashed consistently. One of our players had to leave the game because after one flag was already thrown for slashing and the play was dead some meat head d-pole deliberatly threw a check into his leg, that makes two slashes in only one play in the game. Second there coaching staff had no class what so ever, neither did their players. Our players got trash talked from the coaches all game and our head coach was also taking crap from their coaching staff. Their players would whine about everything that happened to them but when #16 decks our goalie in the crease it's a fair hit. And #19 was the biggest disgrace to lacrosse I have ever encountered. The kid has a wooden shaft and has one goal, to hurt other kids. Any respect I had for this team has vanished and I don't believe this team deserves to take the field with any other STL lacrosse team. I think most of my team would agree. by the way we beat them 13-5. We started out 8-0 on them so they were never in the game.



That is trash talking. Webster Groves is not the cheapest lacrosse team, in fact i believe it is one the of the most respectful. I'll admit against parkway south some of the players lost their tempers, which was an exception. Our coaches were extremely angry at us about this and we payed for it in practice. Webster has started a tradition of kneeling when there is an injured player. All teams except for p south have followed suit. The p south members are only giving their side of the story. Your head coach was the biggest pieace of **** i have ever seen. He yelled at the ref what to call, he trash talked (told our coach to lookat the score), yelled at our head coach when coaches aren't supposed to even talk to each other. Your players talked to so much **** even though you were winning. Yes you did score 8 goals in the 1str quarter, but the other 75% of the ame we hung with you 5 to 5. We had been used to playing low tier teams such as chaminade and summit, and we weren't used to your higher level of play. I'll admit your team has a wide rangfe of talent, especially couch, he is amazing. that "meathead sefenseman" you are refering to was todd hope (one of the best if not the best d pole in the state) Nobody on our team is out to hurt other kids. WE have a solid team this year and will be in the playoffs. Ask anybody from any other team we have played and they will support me in saying we are not cheap. We are not the best team, but we have potential this year. Do not count us out as we will be in the playoffs. You have a better team but i believe we coulkd possibly beat you.

[stlkclax]

Hey all. This is Coach Paul Lee. I am an assistant coach for the varsity squad at MICDS.

I just found out about this forum from one of my players. What a great way to find out what people are saying about Missouri lacrosse!

I wanted to announce that I am coaching the 2nd-Annual STL.KC All-Star Team and this year we will be traveling to the Tri-State National Lacrosse Festival in Hamilton, New Jersey (My Home State). This will be one of the first Missouri All-Star teams to travel to an elite east coast recruiting tournament and everyone involved is very excited.

Last year, we had some of the top underclassmen in the state on this team, including (to name a few):

Paul Reintjes, Schaffer Degen (Rockhurst Jesuit)
Spencer Hampton, Kevin Bell, Mike Reinberg (DeSmet)
Sam Striler, Kenny Burst (MICDS)
Chris Whitehead, Steve Couch (Parkway South)
Mark Prey (Parkway Central)
Matt Yoon (SLUH)
and many more.

We are expecting many of last year's guys back again this year, but we are actively seeking more team members to fill remaining spots on the 2006 team. I would like to openly invite any Top Missouri lacrosse players to apply to be a member of this team.

Here are tournament details:
- Tri-State National Lacrosse Festival (more info at www.trilax.com)
- July 7th - 9th (flying out of St. Louis on July 6th)
- STL.KC All-Stars will be placed in the Elite Division (Most Competitive, facing off against teams from Baltimore, Long Island, etc.)
100+ college coaches expected to attend (all will be watching Elite Division games)
- Team player names and bios will be published in the coaches' book handed out to every college coach in attendance (one of the best coaches' books in the nation)

This is a great opportunity for players who want to be seen by college coaches and develop a networking relationship with some of them. It is also a great opportunity to flex our muscles on the east coast and let the country know that Missouri lacrosse is full of fresh talent.

Here are application requirements for players who were on the 2005 team:
- Commitment e-mail or phone call (E-mail to: stlkclax@yahoo.com or Call (201)709-6755).

Here are application requirements for players who were not on the 2005 team:
- an E-Mail containing your name, position, school, address, phone, e-mail (Send to: stlkclax@yahoo.com).
- an E-mail letter containing your lacrosse resume, your future plans in the sport, and why you should be a member of the 2006 STL.KC All-Stars.
- a Coach's reccomendation letter via e-mail.

OTHER REQUIREMENTS:
- the trip will cost an estimated $600-900 dollars which includes flight, hotel, team gear, food, transportation in New Jersey.
- open to Juniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen
- Seniors who wish to play must provide a letter/e-mail/phone call from a college coach who wishes to see them play in the tournament and permission will be granted

There will be no tryout and selections will be based on coach's reccommendations, player credentials and statistics, and the quality of your applications.

This is a non-profit operation and coaches on the staff will be sacrificing their time and efforts for no financial gain. The goal is to help players to gain exposure and promote Missouri lacrosse.

Thanks for reading and don't miss out on this great opportunity.

nice job, prey look good in net?

[CoachFauss]

nice job, prey look good in net?

he made some great saves but I have to give my goalie some credit - Malashock only gave up 2 goals in the game and he's now ranked 2nd in the state in wins and save percentage and he's tops in goals against average. Mike has really been solid all season.

[Chaminademid]

I dont remember too much from when we played you guys about your goalie so i cant really throw in any compliments, but obviously he's doing well so hopefully he'll keep it up.

[stlkclax]

QUESTION: "Open to all grade levels? or Just underclassmen?"

Open to all grade levels.
However, seniors must send me an e-mail from a college coach stating that the coach wants to see you play in the tournament. If you're a future Fontbonne player, since the program hasn't really started up yet, you can just have Coach Silva send me an e-mail stating that he wants to see you in the tournament, and that'll get you on the team. OR If you're not, an e-mail from any other college coach is fine.

[Chaminademid]

Jaron im gonna school you tomorrow.
I know you're an attackman....but i'll find a way.

woah woah there buddy. our coach was the biggest piece of **** u have ever seen?? now that cant b right. our coach is kick a** and ur coach is the one that just got outta prison and is tellin the other coach to score these while pointing to his balls and then also tryin to intimidate our coach like he was gonna kick his a** and tellin him to shut up with a little hand motion that was pretty cute. the reason our coach told ur coach scoreboard is bcuz he told him to shut up after askin the ref to make some decent calls. our team is used to not gettin all the calls bcuz one were a public team (lafayette im sure u get this too) and refs never seemed to like us just cuz we are "parkway south" but that game was ridiculous. we were gettin hit from behind and slashed like crazy. i mean one of ur players did a full helmet to helmet check to OUR GOALIE while he was in the crease! what kind of playin was that?!most of ur players were were just tryin to slash us. especially whoever that #19 is- he needs to quit now cuz i didnt c him go for the ball once. i dont recall any of our players talkin s*** to anyone in that game cuz they were too worried about getting broken arms from sticks. the reason u guys hung with us 5-5 is bcuz one that amazing player couch u were talkin about scored on our own goal haha and u were playin against our jv team who was also not tryin to run up the score. i didnt know we reffered to any1 as a meathead defenseman?? but i wish my best of luck in the playoffs to you and hope that that was just a one game thing.

[pshlax18]

hey i forgot to ask this earlier to desmet players-when u guys were playin lafayette i noticed that spencer h wasnt on the field as much as i would have thought unless i just didnt see him but i thought he was #7? hes one of the best if not the best defenseman ive ever seen play in missouri and i was just surprised at this. any reasons??

[laxdefense5]

yeah hes a great player...this year our close defense is pretty stacked, by far the strongest part of our team. spencer got moved to LSM for the year, hes kinda bummed out cause he hasnt been gettin the glory he had last year as a close D, he has 4 goals and a few assists so hes doin pretty alright.

also jaron, i heard josh got expelled for drugs, is this true or just some stupid rumor i keep hearing??

[CoachFauss]

Anyone know when Parkway South is going to play Chaminade?

[Chaminademid]

BTW man, your enormous

[wolfie8914]

nah...it was really really muddy and I wasnt impressed with him. I do understand that under normal circumstances I would have seen better things. It just that if somebody shot a bounce-shot it would get stuck in the mud, etc.

[wglax18]

i wouldn't count webster out

Kirkwood...easily

[CoachFauss]

kirkwodd vs. webster predictions?

This game counts for Webster but not for Kirkwood in the playoffs so Webster might have a little more to play for but knowing the history of these two schools, it should be a great game.

hi Im new to the stl area, I played girls lax at my old school in new mexico, I want to play with boys now. Im ready, where do I sign up?

[wglax18]

what school do you go to here?

[wglax18]

I just want to end this here, but you can't be serious saying that our coach just got out of prison. Try just got out of iraq with the marines. Its fair to say that both of our coaches weren't acting in the most respectful matter. And you say your jv team played the whole game. Correct me if im wrong but the only people i saw playing were self and flynn. I guess they are on jv. The thing i noticed was that most of your varsity was playing our jv. Anyways good luck to you too, i want to see a public school get far.

[Pottyboy55]

I go to Nerinx, I think, I've been in saint louis for 4 days now. my Papa got a job working with Anheuser Busch so we just moved. I like lacrosse, maybe you guys of this forum can help me?

[Pottyboy55]

I like lacrosse, help me?
I have a stick it's the Dbeer Apex, I need some shooting stirngs. help??

[Pottyboy55]

Narynx? (sp?)

[laxme]

our coach is kick a**. our team is used to not gettin all the calls bcuz one were a public team (lafayette im sure u get this too) and refs never seemed to like us just cuz we are "parkway south" but that game was ridiculous.

I am glad to see you like your coach, as I hope Coach Stepp has improved from the days he was asked to not return to Wittenberg after his first semester freshman year.

And if you think you don't get calls because of a bias against public schools- I have a quick memo for you- these are middle aged men refereeing lacrosse games- I guarantee their very own public high school diploma led them to this illustrious career.

And if you think you don't get calls because of a bias against public schools- I have a quick memo for you- these are middle aged men refereeing lacrosse games- I guarantee their very own public high school diploma led them to this illustrious career.

Laxme, what are you saying about the refs and their background? They may not always get the calls right but I can tell you that a lot of them are very highly educated. I know one ref with degrees from Harvard and M.I.T., another who's a docter and another who is a lawyer.

I hope everyone realizes that these guys are out there because they love lacrosse and are trying to help the game grow. I would hope that there isn't a bias when they referee games. Trust me, I've complained about plenty of calls, but we all have to realize that without them, we wouldn't be playing.

Trust me, I've complained about plenty of calls, but we all have to realize that without them, we wouldn't be playing.

I am greatly appreciative of their effort, but the good majority of lacrosse refs in MO have been converted from football or soccer or whatever sport, then there are a few former parents or players, but this makes up a very small minority. They have no reason to care if the game grows other than it will give them more work.

My point was that there is no bias against public school teams by the referees. Everyone has to deal with the same refs, and we do have to be nice as we already have a shortage and we don't want to run them off- except a few-mainly Chuck from K.C.

And just because Schulte's kid played at Ladue doesn't mean you have to stand up for them when someone makes a joke.

[Eclipse]

I like lacrosse, help me?
I have a stick it's the Dbeer Apex, I need some shooting stirngs. help??

Well first off i dont think Narynx has a boys team, and I also thought that if your school offered a girls program, you couldnt play boys lax....i also advise you that lacrosse here, especially guys, is much more competitive then it is in New mexico....so.

Johnny Macs and Stickhead, along with Dick's are some stores around here you can get equipment

[Chaminademid]

Well i can guarantee you Nerinx doesn't have a boys team.

[PshLax12]

coach stepp wasnt thrown out of wittenburg. He came back because of his long time girlfriend. Where did you get that?

[pshlax18]

and along with that laxme, u said that you're sure that the refs public school education got them to where they are now? just to let you know...i went to a private high school for a semester and it was also yours(desmet) and the education there was definitely not better than any public education ive ever recieved. there were also a bunch of complete dumba**es there just like any other school(including p south). This has nothing to do with education, seing that the public school i go to now gives me a lot better education than DeSmet. Sorry, I hate to break it to you.

[wglax18]

todd will be on

[wglax18]

kirkwoood wins 10-4. Dissapointing, but a very dirty game. Kirkwood had around 10 conduct penaltys and at least 20 total flags. They showed no respect for the game nrr the fans. #1 on their yelled at the fans as he was running down the field, "you guys are a ****ing bunch of *****s". This shows no class and i have no respect for them even if they have talented players.

[wolfie8914]

when did he say that?

[kojak89]

I agree kirkwood played down to webster's level, but against good teams they don't do any of that. Kirkwood should be shown a litle more respect/ especially wit the win over CBC and a close game vs. Lafayette. Don't count them out in the playoffs.

[Eclipse]

I agree, Kirkwood seemed like a very respectable team when we played them

[CoachFauss]

They have no reason to care if the game grows other than it will give them more work.

And just because Schulte's kid played at Ladue doesn't mean you have to stand up for them when someone makes a joke.

First of all, I think you're crazy if you think the only reason these guys would want the game to grow is because they want more work. I would venture to guess that most of these guys can make a lot more money, in a much easier way, than they do running up and down a field while being hounded by high school kids, coaches and fans. There's a severe shortage of officials already and the officials I've talked to are always looking for guys to help them out and ease the number of games they already work.

Second, it didn't sound like you were making a joke.

Third, I used Schulte as an example, along with two other refs, because I know their background. I wasn't standing up for anyone in particular, just providing an example that these guys could stay plenty busy, whether it's at their day jobs or reffing other sports, and that they're not reffing lacrosse just for the money.

If you were making a joke that these guys do this full time and only have high school educations, I didn't pick up on it. I just think that most of the refs around St. Louis deserve a pat on the back for putting in the effort. Like everyone else, sometimes the amount of effort that's put in to something doesn't show on the field, but they're trying.

As far as your comments about "Chuck in KC", we had him for two of our games in KC and I thought he did a pretty good job. If nothing else, he's making sure we have two officials at the games there because he did at least three games that day we were in town. I'd rather have a rookie ref instead of a veteran ref trying to do a game by himself which is what happened in the Aquinas/Pembroke Hill game the night before.

[yallaintgood]

okay thats all great coach, but i m gonna be the sourpuss and say a bunch of this refs suck...espically chuck. and one of biggest things is why are you posting things like this you re a coach. act like one. just out of curiousity how many other mo coaches have posted on here. i not gonna lie and some of things you say make a lot of sense and you explanations are good and helpful...but stick to that if you want to post.You re a coach, honestly man, i get tired of reading about you re predictions and trying to mediate the forums, they have moderators for that... i known i m a dick, but your a coach

[CoachFauss]

I wasn't trying to moderate anything - just expressing my opinion

as far as my predictions, I'm not giving out my picks on individual games - just trying to give out some info about the new playoff system and what I think it will take to make the playoffs this year. I can tell you that I've already missed on some picks. It still looks like it will take 13 points to get into the playoffs in case anyone is wondering.

Do other people have a problem with me posting? I can tell you that I haven't said anything here I wouldn't say to someone's face and I'm not trying to hide my real identity either. If you guys want me to stop posting, let me know.

[goalie33fan]

Who told you to stop posting? You have the most informative/respectful posts in this thread. Keep it up. : )

[pshlax18]

i have no problem with u posting. its just yallaintgood. you can tell he's not the nicest of kids by his login name and it summarizes everything about him in his last sentence of the comment he made...he's a dick.

[Pottyboy55]

do you knoiw the morrells and kevin adams, I have a good friend that goes to wittenberg

[Eclipse]

Yea this thread is seriously going back to its roots, we were all going good for a while, now its a bash fest again.

First of yallaintgood who cares if coaches post? This is missouri lacrosse 06 thread right? Not missouri players thread? Coaches are part of missouri lacrosse? In many other High school threads like the illinois thread, not only do players and coaches post, but fans, parents, and people who dont even play! So who cares?

Second this thread shouldnt be a place to solve old problems. Although with given circumstances of people getting bashed behind there backs, i understand. But lets end it now.

Laxme you had a great post about game predictions, why cant we have more of that instead of ref bashing?

To get back on topic

Lafayette 16
Chaminade 4

[kojak89]

so what exactly is the playoff situation right now? whos in? whos out? whos on the bubble?

[wolfie8914]

Vianney 6
Ladue 5

2nd OT

[DLP]

ya spencer signed today after school

[CoachFauss]

Vianney 6
Ladue 5

1st OT

I want to come out and congratulate Vianney on a big win. If you have Vianney on your schedule, you better keep an eye out for them because this is not the same team I saw earlier this year.

[Chaminademid]

But the important thing about that game Jaron, was that i schooled you.
And by you I mean #14, cause i didnt have the chance to school you.

[CoachFauss]

Current playoff standings and games remaining that count in the standings - some teams have clinched the 5 bonus points for winning their conference and some are predicted but it would take a lot for them to not win it.

The top 12 make the playoffs - I don't know the tie-breaker so teams are just alphabetical if they have the same number of points.

Out of the remaining games, they're a mix of 1 point and 3 point games and you can find that on the molax.org website

I still think 13 points will at least get you into a tie-breaker situation for making the playoffs. This last week of the season could see a lot of movement.

Rockhurst, 27 (includes conference champ points), 4 games remaining
SLUH, 27, 1 game remaining
Parkway South, 24 (includes conference champ points), 2 games remaining
MICDS, 20, 3 games remaining
Blue Valley West, 19 (includes conference champ points), 4 games remaining
Desmet, 16, 4 games remaining
Lafayette, 16, 3 games remaining
Ladue, 13, 3 games remaining
Vianney, 12, 1 game remaining
CBC, 11, 3 games remaining
Hickman, 11, 5 games remaining
Springfield Glendale, 10, 5 games remaining


Webster Groves, 10, 3 games remaining
Kirkwood, 9, 2 games remaining (will win conference with win over Fox)
Aquinas, 8, 3 games remaining
Fox, 8, 2 games remaining
Hazelwood, 8, 1 game remaining
Parkway Central, 7, 3 games remaining
Lindbergh, 6, 4 games remaining
Rock Bridge, 6, 6 games remaining
Clayton, 5, 5 games remaining
SME, 3, 4 games remaining
Pembroke Hill, 2, 3 games remaining
SMS, 2, 3 games remaining
Blue Valley North, 0, 0 games remaining
Chaminade, 0, 5 games remaining
Summit, 0, 5 games remaining
Parkway North, -1, 5 games remaining
Olathe, -3, 4 games remaining
Wentzville, -3, 7 games remaining
Eureka, -4, 5 games remaining
Parkway West, -5, 5 games remaining


Some HUGE games coming up:

Ladue/Clayton
Lafayette/SLUH
Lafayette/MICDS
Kirkwood/Fox
Desmet/SLUH
Hickman has three 3-point games
Parkway Central/Clayton
Parkway Central/Vianney
Springfield/Hickman

Each of these games could make or break a team's chance to make the playoffs or get a high seed. Hope everyone is ready for this week...

[Chaminademid]

Parkway South @ Chaminade rescheduled for Sunday 5/7 at 4PM for whoever was wondering.

[Pottyboy55]

do not hate on new mexico LaCrosse, I am a girl, and I'm good as boys can be too, watch me, I can do mikey powells tricks, I study hard and work hard.
I can shoot 48mph!!! that was my fastest shot! I'm trying,
p.s. Ian Tallet is a bender
p.s.s. Coach Of The Year: CoachFauss

[Eclipse]

No one here is hating New mexico lax, i just said it is more competitive here.

Also doing mikey powell tricks, and only being able to shoot 48 isnt going to help

[oldno24]

Surprised to see Ladue lost to Vianney. Game report?

[Pottyboy55]

ladue came into the game expecting to crush vianney. vianney rose to the top and played better then us, plain and simple. Ladue did Not play any where close then they were capable of. I believe vianney scored on 3 man up possessions. there is no excuse for losing, but there could have been a few things different, other then the players. no excuses though.
you think your surprised, you micdser oldno24 you.....

[kojak89]

Kirkwood vs. Fox predictions???

[laxme]

Laxme you had a great post about game predictions, why cant we have more of that instead of ref bashing?

1. I like getting a rise out of some of you guys, and it kills time between games

2. I think it is great that Coach Stepp come on to post. Sure he had to do under someone else’s username, that 3.0 at Wittenberg really didn’t help you with being able to sign up for an internet site. It’s tough but if you have some free time, read my book “How to use the Internet for Dummies”, I’m working on “Coaching lacrosse for Dummies” so until then you will have to continue to dwell in you mediocrity. And I would stick with my story; it sounds a lot better than letting everyone know that you have been wiped since you were 18. What an example you have been to your players, choosing a girl over lacrosse.

Coach could send me that purple drink recipe again, that sounds delicous.

Lastly, it was not my intention to bash referees rather I was trying to dispel the notion of a bias from the referees. I tried to do this in a joking manner, but too many people took it the wrong way.

Now we shall return to the action on the field.

Is the SLUH/Lafayette game today or Monday?

[laxme]

I had really good post for the games, but it must have been too long and froze the page. I'm ticked, but will have my predictions in before game time. I need to redeem myself after going 1-2 last weekend.

[Pottyboy55]

laxme, you're a piece of trash. I bet you have the smallest sac so to make you feel better, you come on the forums and rip on people, over the internet, you're a dou che bag

[laxme]

thank you, but isn't douche one word?

[wolfie8914]

yea so correct me if I'm wrong but Laxme = Rob Arnone, Chaminade Head Coach

[CoachFauss]

I can tell you that I had the same problem trying to sign up here and never received the email you need to confirm and be able to post the first time. Of course, I only have a law degree...

[Eclipse]

yea so correct me if I'm wrong but Laxme = Rob Arnone, Chaminade Head Coach

Where did you get that from?

Also pottyboy who are you...just a few days ago you were a girl going to nerynx from new mexico, now your talking like you go to Ladue.

[laxme]

Of course, I only have a law degree...

So you couldn't get in Medical School? But you should hang that Online Degree proudly. I am becoming a lawyer in my spare time too. Is your firm hiring? I have some great recommendations, Eclipse, PSH17, Pottyboy can you help me out?

I will correct, No. Rob Arnone is a very respected Chiropractor, and ambassador of the game of lacrosse in St. Louis. How dare you talk bad of him.

[laxme]

#6 CBC vs #2 MICDS- Don't be fooled by CBC ranking they aren't as good as that shows, but are better than recent games. Midfielder Hulsey has come up big for them in big games and will attempt to today. MICDS has good long poles that will be able to contain him. CBC doesn't ahve the supporting cast to step up, but they will be desparate and keep it close. MICDS by 2.

[MountainGoat22]

Our (Springfield) entire season is gunna come down to the hickman game this Sunday. We have 4 games in 2 days. Its gunna be crazy.

[goalie33fan]

laxme, I think it Hilarius that you talk trash on an online bulletin board. Show a little respect for the people that you play against. I don't know why you feel the need to do this, it doesn't make sense to me. Do you do the same stuff on the field?

[pshlax18]

i agree with that. laxme did u not read the part about coach stepp sayin that there were also problems with the lacrosse team that he didnt want to discuss in public?? o and since your correcting people on spelling, isnt it spelled "whipped"???? not wiped. just thought i'd let you know. you can correct any of my spelling if you'de like because i really could care less. And i really don't think that Coach Stepp needs the "Coaching lacrosse for dummies." If you didn't notice we beat you so i don't what that says about you... and also he's led us into beating CBC, Lafayette, and was leading us to beat MICDS, except we crashed and MICDS came back but that had nothing to do with him. I respect my coach along with Coach Fauss that you obviously don't show any respect for either. Is being a prick your goal in life? I think you should stop trying to be a lawyer because your doing a great job at makin an a** of yourself. I may have said some things on this forum that were rude, but never to a coach, and also if I realized i was wrong, i stopped.
P.S.-the purple drink was amazing but P.S., tommorow at practice its that green drink: thats sugar, water, and green

[Pottyboy55]

wait, psouth homie, are you talkin about the purple drink, or That Purple Drank?

oh and laxme, you're not a has been, you're a never was, you rookie....

[wglax18]

you are hilarious

[Pottyboy55]

how is Fox?
didn't kirkwood just play them?

[CoachFauss]

Kirkwood beat Fox tonight - there's no love loss between those two teams.

Fox took an early lead and the game was back and forth but Kirkwood held on at the end.

Ladue will have their hands full with both of these teams this week.

[CoachFauss]

So you couldn't get in Medical School? But you should hang that Online Degree proudly. I am becoming a lawyer in my spare time too. Is your firm hiring?

Sorry to disappoint you, but SLU Law School doesn't offer an online degree and I didn't apply to medical school. if you are interested in working for me, give me a call at my office. I'm sure you have some amazing qualifications.

[CoachFauss]

any other scores from today?

BTW, the score of that game was Kirkwood 8 - Fox 6

[laxdefense5]

De Smet-14 Webster Groves-3

correct me if im wrong coach fauss but de smet and south are tied with 19 points, before the webster game, because webster is in our conference dont we get 3 more point for beating them, and we play chaminade next saturday who is also in our conference. Dont we get 3 more for that game if de smet wins...also the sluh game next week could also add a few points...

Couldnt De Smet be ceded first in its conference?? i dont know, tell me if i figured that right?

[PshLax12]

South 12
Central 6
Good game all around

I really don't understand the cedings (if thats how you spell it. Theres that parkway education for ya) but south plays 4 games in the next 5 days including chaminade on sunday so our points might go up too.

[wolfie8914]

for for further clarification....

It is seedings/seed/seeds NOT ceding/cede/cedes

[wglax18]

desmet was a goo team all around. Our defense really broke down today, and we are looking completley different from the beginning of the season (in a bad way).

[Pottyboy55]

sweetlax

to beat a zone defense, move the ball fast, changing directions frequently, find the seams, light the lamp

[pshlax18]

o pottyboy, im talkin about that purple DRANK, my bad

[CoachFauss]

De Smet-14 Webster Groves-3

correct me if im wrong coach fauss but de smet and south are tied with 19 points, before the webster game, because webster is in our conference dont we get 3 more point for beating them, and we play chaminade next saturday who is also in our conference. Dont we get 3 more for that game if de smet wins...also the sluh game next week could also add a few points...

Couldnt De Smet be ceded first in its conference?? i dont know, tell me if i figured that right?

I didn't have the Parkway West win down for Desmet when I posted that so yes, you both had 19 before you played Webster today and now have 22. I have Desmet with 2 games remaining now, both worth three points so they could get to 28.

Desmet probably won't be first in the conference. It's based on how you do in your conference games only, not overall points. The worst Parkway South can do is finish 3-1 in the conference if they lose to Chaminade. The best Desmet can do is finish 3-1 in the conference. Because Parkway South beat Desmet, they win the conference and get the 5 bonus points.

As far as being seeded, that's based on overall points and has nothing to do with how you finish in your conference. You can win your conference and still be a lower seed which is probably what will happen with Kirkwood who can get a maximum of 18 points if they beat Ladue next week.

If you have any other questions, post them here and I'll try to answer them about the playoffs and how it's done.

[Pottyboy55]

Coach Fauss? did you see the fox kirkwood game? how did fox do? who's hot? Who in the world is Fox??

[laxme]

Is being a prick your goal in life? I think you should stop trying to be a lawyer

Whatever I have done, I apoligize because it must have really offended you to call me such a horrible thing. But, yes since our great president Bush has offered tax incentives for alternative fuel vehicles, I have decided to run my body purely on anger and hatred, so please continue to give me fuel.

I was also under the impression that conference titles were tied first to points rather than conference record, but it doesn't appear that way.

"Ladue will have their hands full with both of these teams this week." Do you play MICDS Saturday? First things first, this is for the conference championship even though you lost to Vianney, correct?

Off topic, who is Fontbone going to play next year? They are going to play Wittenberg in the Fall Classic, as preview to the DI games. But during the regular season? I may understand Lindenwood, but I hope not too many other club teams?

[LaxBeast]

Hey,
No offense but you guys remind me of a group of prepubescent girls yelling at each other for no reason other than the fact that you have nothing to do with your lives other then to demean each other on websites because you have nothing better to do with your time then to talk about how you could be, or how could you could have been. If you were that good, you wouldn't need to talk about it, you would just prove it Are you guys lacrosse players, or a bunch of insecure chicks writing for Teen Beat? Grow up. Maybe it is just me, but last time I checked, filling these pages with empty promises and shallow predictions only equated to a bunch of losers looking to find their way to a low place finish in the race of life. Anyway, while you guys are ripping each other apart based on shallow compliments and familiar criticisms, has the St. Louis lacrosse community accepted the fact that they are about to be destroyed by Rockhurst Highschool from Kansas City? I checked in to the Missouri pages wondering if anyone had even figured out how to beat Rockhurst, but apparently you guys don't even have the focus to think about the playoffs. As a Zionsville player ( we are the only team to play Rockhurst within a point) I was kind of hoping that you guys would be focusing on the prize, but since you guys are fighting amongst yourselves, let me know if you even care. Hope all goes well in Mo and that you guys have a great time *****ing each other for second place.

Conference titles are based solely on how you do in the conference. If your conference has 5 teams, you could theoretically go 3-9 in games that count for the playoffs and still win your conference.

Ladue plays at MICDS on Friday at 4, at home vs. Fox on Saturday at 1 and then at Kirkwood Wednesday before finishing the season at Clayton next Friday.

Maybe it is just me, but last time I checked, filling these pages up with empty promises and shallow predictions only equated to a bunch of losers looking to find their way to a low place finish in the race of life. Anyway, while you guys are ripping each other apart based on shallow compliments and familiar criticisms, has the St. Louis lacrosse community accepted the fact that they are about to be destroyed by Rockhurst Highschool from Kansas City? I checked in to this community wondering if anyone had even figured out how to beat Rockhurst, but apparently you guys don't even have the focus to think about the playoffs. As a Zionsville player ( we are the only team to play Rockhurst within a point) I was kind of hoping that you guys would be focusing on the prize, but since you guys are fighting amongst yourselves, let me know if you even care. Hope all goes well in Mo and that you guys have a great time *****ing each other for second place.


Lets start off by saying this. As an Indiana player, you shouldnt come on here spitting game after Indiana teams have gone 0-3 against missouri teams this year. Including, your state champions.

Back on topic, ignore this kid, i could care a less what an indiana kid thinks about what he has to say. Let him judge us, he doesnt know who half the people who comment on here are, who they play for, or how good they are.

On the note about who fontbonne will play, we will be fine. Lets just say we will have to travel alot.

Please don't think that you got Rockhurst's best showing. Your game against Rockhurst was the second game they played that day, and after an hour and a half bus ride. Not to mention that every single player that came on the trip played in the game. You guys got crushed by a mediocre Barrington team from IL that would probably be comprable to CBC's team. You wouldn't make the playoffs if you played in Missouri. So just be thankful Rockhurst did not unleash the full spanking you had coming to you and stay in your own forum.

[PshLax12]

Laxme, Do you have down syndrome?

Laxme, I'm just wondering who you are/where you play? Most of the others on this forum are pretty open about who they are and where they play. I think everyone knows that Eclipse plays for Lafayette and Wolfie8914 plays for me and the most of the others have their team in their name but not you.

You also seem to post in the IL forum on a pretty regular basis which is why some people thought you might be Rob Arnone who used to live in Chicago.

And since I'm hoping we make the playoffs, I'll throw this out there - anyone have some thoughts on how to beat Rockhurst?

[RockLaxx21]

Zionsville Player, it was 8-1 at half and we put in our JV and Younger players and blew the lead. Why do u want trouble from MO Lacrosse players? We beat you guys with hinderences...

Off Topic: Who all is doing the Tri-State Lacrosse Team thing in NJ?

[Pottyboy55]

Rocklaxx, are you doing it? I'm working with Paul Lee on it, should be sweet.

[MountainGoat22]

I really wasnt impressed by Fox at all. We beat them by 4 or 5..but we lost to Kirkwood by 1. Is Lindbergh (sp) supposed to be good? We (springfield) play Lindbergh, Wentzville, Hickman, and Parkway North this weekend. How are these teams?

[Eclipse]

I wouldnt underestimate Hickman

Why didn't you play your JV and Younger players against other teams? Or if you did, why didn't other teams score? No other team besides Zionsville came within 5 goals of Rockhurst.

[wolfie8914]

Off topic, who is Fontbone going to play next year? They are going to play Wittenberg in the Fall Classic, as preview to the DI games. But during the regular season? I may understand Lindenwood, but I hope not too many other club teams?


It's Fontbonne not Fontbone.


what comes around goes around.

[wolfie8914]

I wouldnt underestimate Hickman

Yea I totally agree. I never really hear much about them but they have been top 10 all year.

Also whats the deal with sluh, they are only 1 point under rockhurst in the Missouri standings with 26 points i think. Are all of those points legit?

[laxme]

Let me explain humor for a second. Me correcting the spelling of a word that he is using to insult me- funny. You correcting Fontbone- not.

What comes around, goes around.
MICDS 8 Ladue 5.

[wolfie8914]

What comes around, goes around.
MICDS 8 Ladue 5.


That actually makes no sense.

And I suppose your team beat MICDS?

[wglax18]

thats a good showing against micds

[wolfie8914]

I think it was Ladue 10, Fox 4, but im sure coachfauss will correct me.


anywhoo...I would just like to tell everybody that Fox is a bunch of inbred savage cretins. They have absolutely no class. There are obviously some exceptions on their team, but for the most of what I saw in the game—they are cheap, and yet still cannot win. Enough with my ranting...

[laxdefense5]

I'm almost positive i'm playing on the tristate team as well...

[CoachFauss]

I think it was Ladue 10, Fox 4, but im sure coachfauss will correct me.


You got the score right. Any other scores from around Missouri today?

I see Hickman beat Parkway South - I think that should open up some eyes about how good Hickman really is this year. Any comments from the South guys about what happened?

i dont know what to say other than, we played with no heart, didnt play as a team, and seemed to do everything wrong. our team tends to underestimate people and when we do such a thing, it's like we don't care. It seems to me like if our team isn't playing a team that's supposed to be amazing, then we don't care what the outcome is. It really makes me mad but we had a discussion about this after the game and it showed in our next game that people are starting to get their heads outta their a**es

[CoachFauss]

it showed in our next game

Who else did you play and what happened?

[goaliedude13]

Got question who do you play for laxme????? Ive been reading all these posts and still cant figure it out........

[Pottyboy55]

Laxme does not play..... like I said before,
he's not a has been, he's a never was.... come on goalienig13
hahahah

laxdefense5, what team do you play for? Im helping with the tri state, Im tryin to figure out who everybody is on this forum that is playing for tri state. it will be sick.... there will be atleast a hundred coaches scouting our games.

[MountainGoat22]

Coach Fauss, we (springfield) just got done beating Limbergh 11 to 7 and Wentzville 18-4...we play Hickman in about 2 hours..

[Pottyboy55]

I live by micds so I stopped by for their game against ladue.....
the game was a lot closer then the score shows. Ladue actually had the lead at one point. the ladue goalie played absolutely ridiculous...
in my book, 8-5 against micds is pretty damn good,
considering I used to play for them.

[CoachFauss]

Coach Fauss, we (springfield) just got done beating Limbergh 11 to 7 and Wentzville 18-4...we play Hickman in about 2 hours..

wow, busy weekend. You guys still have Parkway North and Olathe at some point, don't you?

Good luck today - I think you guys need to win this to make the playoffs this year. Post a score when you get a chance.

[laxdefense5]

i play for de smet

[laxme]

My comments for South losing to Hickman is "wow". I believe Hickman is a solid squad, but how did they lose to Parkway West. It is tough to travel, get off the bus and be ready to play, which is why I think for Rockhurst to do what they have done this year is pretty remarkable. That will also hurt your seeding as if you beat Chaminade and take the conference you will still be 1 point behind DeSmet.

Looks like 11 playoff teams are pretty set, with Parkway Central still able to knock out Vianney with a win over them and Clayton.

My Guestimations of seeds with certain assumptions
1. Rockhurst- 35- will beat pembroke to finish perfect
2. MICDS- 34- still playCBC & Laf
3. DeSmet- 28- should beat SLUH & Cham
4. SLUH- 27- assume lost to Laf
5. BV. West- 26
6. P. South- 25- beat Cham & win conf.
6. Laf- 25- if beat SLUH, Wentz. win conf., MICDS = 3 point game
8. Hickman- 22- can win out
9. Kwood- 18- still play Ladue
10. Ladue- 17- Clayton only game left that can earn points, if can replace SME add 3
11. Webster- 14- should win out vs. P West &
12. P. Central- 13- can beat Vianney
12. CBC-13- Cham & MICDS left
Vianney- 12- play Central for playoffs

As for your questions, I believe I am objective enough to not allow who I play/played coach/coached for affect my comments and therefore is of no consequence.

Teddy, still at Colorado? I wasn't able to find you on the roster. How's your lacrosse career these days?

[Pottyboy55]

na, I left CU, Im going to SLU next fall, my lax track is dank tho cuz, thanks for askin.

[Eclipse]

SLU, good choice, just stickin with club ball?

[Pottyboy55]

yeah, plus I want to try to keep coaching. we'll see.

[Eclipse]

Anyone else notice Laxpower has Rockhurst listed at 20...in the nation?

I mean of course they are only power rankings but i wouldnt be surprised to see them get an honorable mention in the IL poll this week...teams like New Trier are bouncing around in there, i think Rock might be able to

[wolfie8914]

How accurate are the national power rankings?

...if Rockhurst played the no. 19 or 21, would it pretty much be an equal game, or do the rankings not really mean that much?

[kojak89]

so how is where the playoff games are played decided? I play for kirkwood and if the games are played at the higher seeded team's field we would have to go to columbia to play hickman and then if we win we would have to go to kansas city to play rockhhurst. is this right???

[laxme]

I would love to think Rockhurst is a top 20 team and what that could mean for MO lax, but they aren't. This year on their trip to CA, they didn't get to play as good as teams as they did last year, or if they had gone to the Jesuit tourney at Georgetown Prep, and usually they play NT from IL . The Power rankings are some what reasonable, and they do have adjustments based on the state a team is from. But Rock's SOS is 584th. As far as the Midwest the top teams in MO are always comparable to the top teams in IL, but behind MI and OH. But the top 20 teams in NY, MD; top 5 in CT, MA, VA, OH, PA, NJ, would all be beat Rockhurst. I think a great accomplishment would be top 50, of course if htey win state they could be a wild card in high school championship and it could be settled on the field.

Kojak- first 2 rounds are at the higher seed, then Semis & Finals are in St. Louis. So get your iPod ready for the trips.

I agree they are not a top 20 team, but its still cool to see them there. Like i said they could be an honorable mention team, hopefully. If they win state that is...

The top 4 teams get a bye. The 5-12 seeds play each other and the winners of those games play the top 4 seeds. The first round game is at the higher seed and then the top 4 teams will host the second round game.

The bracket, which hasn't been determined yet, is located at http://www.molax.org/MSLA/2006MSLA_Championships.html. I think the standings could still change quite a bit over the next week because some teams have played almost all of their "playoff" games while others still have a few left.

[Chaminademid]

Psouth 20-2 over Chaminade
I was sick so I wasn't even there, but one of my friends gave me the score.

[Laxer87]

So what's with sluh this year? do they have a just a few good players or is it a pretty solid team? i know their goalie is one of the top goalies in Misouri... but is he the only reason for their sucess with many low scoring games...

[PshLax12]

Who else did you play and what happened?


on our trip to columbia we played rock bridge as well as hickman.

Is that points calculation accurate?
Can someone verify this?

[STLGURU]

can some people do a playoff points and seeding calculation?

last time i checked

[CoachFauss]

can some people do a playoff points and seeding calculation?

last time i checked

Lafayette plays SLUH and MICDS this week - those 2 games will go a long way to determining where everyone ends up. By Thursday, things should be clearer.

Is Rockhurst going to play Lafayette or will Rockhurst's 2nd alternate game count? I'm assuming that's another 1 point game instead of the 3 they could have gotten by beating Lafayette?

BTW, the Ladue/SME game doesn't count in the standings and we're at 14 points now because of our win over Hazelwood. Our only game that counts for points is Friday at Clayton but we still have the opportunity to take a point away from Kirkwood on Wednesday because it counts for them.

No, it is not the current standings. They are as I see the season finishing.

[laxattack1414]

SPringfield should be in the play-off's now we accumulated 5 points this weekend beating wentzville hickman and parkway north. We now have 15 points for the season with two games left.

[CoachFauss]

SPringfield should be in the play-off's now we accumulated 5 points this weekend beating wentzville hickman and parkway north. We now have 15 points for the season with two games left.

15 points should get you in and you still have one game left that counts for the standings - Olathe. If you win that, you'll be at 16 and that will definitely get you in. If you lose to Olathe, you'll drop to 14 and it could be close. The Blue Valley West game counts for them but not for you guys. If you beat them, they'll lose a point.

[laxme]

Yeah, huge weekend Springfield, that should know out P. Central & CBC unless they pull of a miraculous win over MICDS if that game is still being played. IF CBC can win that game, then Webster may be left out.

I wouldn't count on the LAF/Rockhurst game being made up.
1. What motivation does Rockhurst have to play it? They'll get the #1 seed, and Laf has already replaced it.
2. When could they play? It would have to be tomorrow, Tuesday. They play Pembroke on Thurs. and Laf has a game already for Sat. then the playoffs start.

[Pottyboy55]

when is the seeding meeting? I'd imagine saturday?

[CoachFauss]

when is the seeding meeting? I'd imagine saturday?

the seeding meeting is next Monday. That's also when the all-conference players are decided.

Not a lot of seeding to do anymore with the point system but I'm not sure we've decided what the tie-breakers will be for teams with the same number of points.

And the motivation for Rockhurst would be to continue an undefeated season. Just because a game doesn't count doesn't mean you shouldn't play any harder. No one wants to go into the playoffs on a down note...

[indylax09]

So does anyone have any ideas? They beat Zionsville. Zionsville's going to win Indiana this year.
Doesn't seem like anyone in Misouri wants to address this.

[Eclipse]

Ideas for what? Even if we had a clue we would discuss them openly for other rockhurst players to see...then counter

[RockLaxx21]

Yes pottyboy i am doing it with about 7 other rockhurst kids as it is, all juniors

[indylax09]

That's because you don't have a clue how to beat rockhust. st louise is too proud to admit it tho.

[pshlax18]

when has anyone ever talked strategy on this forum indylax09? thats somethin that you keep to your team and im sure each team is going over such a thing, just like everyone does before a big game. But no one has to worry about them right now. Each team plays one game at a time and if they don't then that one game could throw them out of playoffs.

[Pottyboy55]

I know how to beat a team like rockhurst.
does anybody care to hear?
MICDS has the only shot at beating rockhurst because of their defensive package.
bar none. sorry to "offend" other teams. I'm just being realistic here.

[CoachFauss]

Any scores from today? Some games that should have playoff implications:

CBC/MICDS
SLUH/Lafayette
Clayton/Parkway Central

[kojak89]

the way to beat rockhurst is ball possesion (offense and ground balls) and burying shots. thats how you win ne game. Defense has to be stellar. It takes 100% effort too. Most teams that have played them so far prolly went into the game thinkin they were about to get killed and haven't put it all out on the field. ALSO r these playoff standing predictions accurate? It seems that laxme and others have been putting more than 12 games into account im pretty sure most of these games don't matter because only twelve games count for playoffs. can ne one clear this up?

[Pottyboy55]

kojak, good ideas, no offense, you need the right defense against rockhurst.
a simple adjacent slide will not work.
you will have to run a zone defense. prevent any shots from on the crease, and you must have a goalie that can actually save shots from the perimeter....
would not be easy at all.
take away the crease from Degen. stop #4 on the right wing. MUST have a good transition game with middies that can possess the ball past half field. gtg to cards game, peace

[wolfie8914]

That's because you don't have a clue how to beat rockhust. st louise is too proud to admit it tho.


Why do you talk this unneccesary noise?

Everybody knows Rockhurst is good...what is your point?

At the end of the day, our Missouri team beat your Indiana team.

[Chaminademid]

SLUH rallies in the 4th to beat Lafayette 7-6

[MountainGoat22]

deleted.--------------

[JBills33]

Did we rally or just regain the lead that we had maintained for the greater majority of the game? Lafayette is a solid team and I commend them for a great game.

Respect SLUH yet?

[Chaminademid]

I wasnt at the game, I heard you guys were down 6-2 in the 4th then came back to win

[CoachFauss]

according to prepsports, Parkway Central beat Clayton but that might not be enough for Central to make the playoffs at this point

Anyone know what happened in the CBC/MICDS game?

and so much for my idea that 13 points will get you into the playoffs - after the games this weekend I now think it will take 16 to get in

[Pottyboy55]

cbc 7
micds 6

[wglax18]

you can't be serious. i guess that knocks webster out of playoff contention. The last slot was between webster vianney and cbc, and the unthinkable just happened. I can't believe that micds could lose to cbc.

[Laxer87]

what went wrong in the CBC MICDS game? i figured MICDS was going to win it

[laxme]

SLUH/Lafayette was a great game. I was suprised to Jehling back on the field, I think he was injured for a little bit, he had a good game. Lafayette did a good job keeping the pressure on SLUH offensivley, but SLUH's goalie came up with good saves. Lafayette's defense was worst than I thought. I know they recently switched goalies to a Sophomore and I don't think the blame can go entirely to him, their slides, and clears weren't up to par. I kind of belived the "3 head monster" until this game. Blumenthal is going to draw the opposing teams best defender, and SLUH did an ok good sliding to him, but he finished with 4 goals, and no assist. He has been big in every game, against CBC he went 3,2, DeSmet 2,2, Kwood, 5,1 SLUH, 4,0, but the other heads of that monster weren't capitalizing on the action he was creating and too much ball watching.

This sets up a really good game Wednesday when DeSmet takes on DeSmet East.

As far as the CBC/MICDS, I am suprised by the outcome, but Coach Condon was going to have his team ready, and CBC has been up and down all year, they just did it at the right time.

And for beating Rockhurst, mixing in a zone is a good idea, but not exclusively, they would possess the ball too much. Just hope you have sucess early and they get frustrated and force passes. On defense, they haven't allowed more than 6 goals, and yes Yoon and Prey are very good goalies, but Coleman has started since his Sophomore year and if played in St. Louis would be all state. Not to mention they have the best LSM in the state in Reintjes.

[CoachFauss]

This sets up a really good game next week when DeSmet takes on DeSmet East.

What game are you talking about next week? If you're talking about DeSmet/SLUH, it's tomorrow.

[lax02]

what are your predictions on all american for middie, attack, and D-fence????

[CoachFauss]

what are your predictions on all american for middie, attack, and D-fence????

I don't think it's broken down by position - I think Missouri gets 5 All Americans and 1 Academic All American total regardless of position.

[lax02]

well then who do u think those five will be??

[Pottyboy55]

you can't really do much against a team like Rockhurst, with athletic ability and talent they have this year. you would be playing mostly a defensive game against rockhurst, unless you can stop their transition from coleman to their middies...
Rockhurst runs a lot of scissor cuts, atleast they did the past few years, which is where left wing and right wing midfield/attackmen cut through, switching sides. they do this when the ball is either top center or behind at X. this causes confusion on the crease while they work up top or from x. as for offense against them, I don't know too much about their defense, except that their goalie wears a sweet doo rag or whatever. but, to be honest, there is no reason that Rockhurst should not win state.

AA?
Ian Tallet. Hands Down best defender in the state. he's just on another level then any other defender in the state.
AA? about 6 desmet kids, as it always goes that way.
gotta love molax politics!!!!!!!!!!!
I dont know if Rockhurst is eligible for mo AA. but if so, Shaefer Degen maybe. he's pretty dank

[CoachFauss]

I dont know if Rockhurst is eligible for mo AA. but if so, Shaefer Degen maybe. he's pretty dank

Rockhurst is in Missouri so they're part of our group. The Kansas schools pick their own all-conference and all-american

I think you can put Lonny down now considering he was an AA last year and Ian certainly will have my vote.

[Pottyboy55]

I think it's only fair that EVERY coach puts Ian down for AA, atleast every team that Ladue has played this year has seen that Ian has completely shut down their best player. It would be a travesty for molax. Overthrow the man, if #17 for Ladue does not receive AA.

[fenderstrat3578]

will SLUH be ranked #1?!?!?!?! they
