  6. WHY is Walton higher then Lambert on Lax power...Lambert killed Walton when they played, it wasnt even close.

    ReplyDelete

  7. And Northview killed Lambert and Walton beat Northview twice.

  8. During year, I noticed that the top 5A and 4A team always had the same PR on laxpower. Now there is slight difference with Walton topping Lambert in state. What Because said may impact it. It could also be impacted by SOS, since you notice Walton is 4 in SOS while Lambert is 12 in SOS. Not sure if that impacts it but might be. Laxpower has some merit but with the strang computer model, I'm not sure how much credance you really put in it. However, when you have one of those situations like you have with Walton, Lambert and Northview, where one beat one but was beat by another which was beat by the other, there's always question which is better. I guess the computer model figures it out based on something. But that doesn't change the fact that Walton won 5A and Lambert won 4A, which is what matters for that purpose. This is similar to how laxpower showed some teams ranked in the top 4 in their area based upon PR but those teams didn't make playoffs because they weren't really in top 4 in their area in head to head play. PR is overall but didn't take into account Ws and Ls in the area games.

  9. I have heard that 6 Alpharetta players are going to UGA, in addition to a number of others from good HS lax programs in the area. I believe that UGA will have an excellent incoming freshman lax class. The UGA team is already a young squad so they could have a number of good years ahead of them. All the best to each boy playing college lax, wherever they decide to play. By the way, when you are done playing, pleas come back to the area and coach!

  10. Hopefully soon UGA and GA Tech will go varsity instead of just club teams.

  11. A number of Northview guys are going to UGA and a larger number are going to Georgia Southern. This will add greatly to the talent on both of those squads.

  15. Walton is ranked higher AFTER the TN state championship the other day.

    Walton beat Harrison-- who beat Memphis University -- the eventual champs
    Lambert beat McCallie-- who lost to Memphis University in the semis.

    Laxpower is flawed, but until there is better solution, then it's all we've got.

    ReplyDelete

  16. Walton also beat McCallie

    ReplyDelete

  17. Walton #1 or Lambert #1 does not really matter...both were clear cut Champions in their Areas. Good job to both....

    Good luck to guys going to play in college...hopefully the rest of the guys have great summers of playing and improve for next year.

    Any big news to end the season or are we dormant until fall ball??

    Adam Seal - HighPoint
    Colin Massa (Junior) - Delaware
    Zack Price (Junior) - Highpoint

  20. Yet another Lambert Dad yes we are everywhere!May 19, 2011 05:24 AM

    While my son is going on to play college ball I would also like to point out that many Lambert and I would suspect other High School Seniors are going on to college leaving their lacrosse careers at the High School level. While some will play club ball others will just enjoy the academic and social life that college offers. Playing at the college level is a different animal than playing High School ball and its great to see these young men starting to make mature decisions whether that decision is to play or not.
    I salute every high school senior.
    Looking forward to watching some summer ball and lets keep this thread going with summer commits from rising lax players in Ga.

  37. Decatur #1 was a special athlete. Where is he attending next year?

    ReplyDelete

  38. A lot of people say they are playing club in college....wait till you find out how much it costs (if you are tight with money), the time it takes up (if you are taking a hard schedule), and the overall college attitude of wanting to relax and have a brew.

  41. you guys have to remember just because a kid is going to a certain college doesn't mean they will continue to play lacrosse there. Of course we all would like to see them succeed and grow the game at the college level, we have to remember it is the kid's decision.

  42. off topic but wanted to share that the championships games are now on tv.

  44. Scholarship Question?

    What is an avg D1 scholarship value $ ?

    It's sounds great,and you obviously have to be talented to have an offer,but what is a typical great offer,good offer and avg offer monetarily $ ?

    Thanks for your experienced responses?

    ReplyDelete

  45. Scholarships depend on th school and how much is costs to go there.
    Schools give out scholarships based on percentages and not money because there is a limit to the number of scholarships not a limit on the amount of money.

    Having said that would say that a very good offer for an incoming freshman playing D1 lax is about 1/4.

    Also coaches change the amount each year so as a player gets older and becomes a more intricate part of the team the coach may give them more scholarship money.

    related to scholarships....
    At the Division 1 level, 60 universities have lacrosse teams for men. There are 12.6 scholarships available per team to be divided among the players.

    At the Division 2 level, 41 universities have lacrosse teams for men. There are 10.8 scholarships available per team to be divided among the players.

    At Division 3 level, good grades carry the weight and will determine your grant, as well as how badly a program desires your services.

    Average roster is 35-45......do the math.
