Wheat Ridge

Yes at first glance Wheat Ridge had a tough season in 2009 at 8-9. They actually played 8 teams ranked in the Top 10 when they versed them, including two top ranked California teams. They beat Columbine and Monarch (round 1 playoffs) and lost to Faiview and Colorado Academy by 1 goal each. They lost to Chatfield and Arapahoe by blowout scores. The thing people were talking about at the end of the season last year is that the entire team were Sophomores (goalie was a Junior) This year the entire team is returning including two all-state players. In 2010 WRLAX will play a very tough schedule including East, Cherry Creek and Mullen so it will be evident very quick if they are un-deserving of notice.

Wheat Ridge

No offense, but what did Wheat Ridge do last year that should make people wake up and take notice? They were 8-9, played only three top ten teams and lost to all three. Their only game against one of the major powers, Arapahoe, wasn't really much of a game at all, (19-6). If I'm missing something, please explain...

2010 top 15 teams

in state ranked in order anybody?

In state rankings 2010

 I'll take a wack at it:

1) Creek

2) Regis

3) Arapahoe

4) Mullen

5) Fort Collins

6) Kent

7) Chatfield

8) Colorado Academy

9) Douglas County

10) Heritage

11) Wheat Ridge

12) Mountain Vista

13) Denver East

14) Monarch

15) Highlands Ranch

my guess

alright of what i have played in the summer fall and early winter this is my prediction

1. Arapahoe, Gunter, Greg, there goalie is pretty good to, srtong defense, attack is solid but besides greg kinda slow

2. Mullen, lot of returning plyers nick ahrens, jake smith, lost some good ones too, but theyyll do great still looked good at dicks sporting goods field tourney

3. Regis, Great D... 3 division 1 recruits i hear?

4. Chatfield, mitch, and greg and connor lewis, and trace wollner, okay d GOOD o, new coach

5. Colorado Academy, played in tournment during summer good d okay o, solid team though

6. creek, played them during the summer, pretty good goalie, quick attack, d is okay not that big but they look solid

7. Columbine, they beat wheat ridge in summer dlc championship by a couple i guess, and new coach, and i hear they have beat mullen twice, all offense though

8. Kent, heard they have a good goalie, but got killed during summer tourneys,

9. fort collins, always up there but dont look like a good o brett newman is looking good

10. wheat ridge, alot alot of talk no hype, okay goalie, one good attackman, okay fogo

11. mountain vista, lost most of key players, but theyll still keep up i think

12. Monarch, good sophmore

13.  Heritage, lost tons of seniors same goalie i think theyll do just alright

14. rock canyon

15. douglas county, star player from last year gone

Fort collins should be alot

Fort collins should be alot higher than 9. im thinkin 3 behind mullen, and regis.  

didnt wheat ridge have two

didnt wheat ridge have two all state players last year...both coiming back?

Arapahoe 2010

I understand Arapahoe lost a few key players. Aside from Defense Gunter, Middies Leary and Menter, LSM Thompson and Attack Colosimo who does Arapahoe have back to defend their state title?

Is Cerosili coming back to coach?

Really ??

If you agreed with me in stating that it matters not whether a team wins or loses ... then why would you write earlier on  "btw, ....they actually won the game in the above video and they still whined liked a bunch of ill -mannered babies ..." giving me the impression that you felt like if they had lost it might be ok for them to whine?

In any event, I guess we agree to disagree on that point. Also, I do know the stick was not recheck, I'm looking at some home video right now ....um .... where did the coach of the "complaining" team acknowledge the stick was rechecked? I'd like to check my facts for my story.   Again, for me, not for everyone in life, it is about the truth.

Also, being a transplant just before last Spring, I guess I am curious... I read several blogs and see what appears to be 1 individual who clearly seems to have a grudge against this team. Why? I presume you must be one of the officials who officiated that game?

Again, my hats off to the 99% of the officials who do this for the love of the sport. For the other 1%, not necessarily you- just in general,  move on.

first, whining is poor

first, whining is poor sportsmanship win or lose. poor sportsmanship is not a lasallian tradition. i know. i graduated from a christian brothers high school.

as for grudges, i'd suggest the coaching staff at the school has a grudge against the official, not the other way around. to my knowledge no offical has posted videos on the internet highlighting idiotic coaching moves (i'm sure scrutiny of your home video would provide ample evidence of this) in an attempt to embarrass the coaching staff at any school.

as for this particular coach admitting the stick was re-checked (it was, i can assure you) this occured during a series of telephone calls that took place between the coach and the president of the Rocky Mountain Lacrosse Officials Association (RMLOA) regarding this specific incident.

lastly, i'd like to take this opportunity to invite you (or anybody for that matter)to submit your home videos to the RMLOA as they are always looking for videos as teaching tools whether they reflect negatively on the officials or not.

Under Armour Underclassmen games

Jake Stroud from Kent, Brett Newman from Fort Collins , and Davis Gunter from Arapahoe were selected to the midwest team.

REFS GONE BAD ON YOUTUBE

Very interesting calls NOT made by REFS during a Denver High School Lacrosse Game.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhWbtXodIl0

 

 

bad video

video conveniently cuts off the end of the stick check....

personally, i think it would be better if you just admitted that you don't know one friggin' thing about proper officiating mechanics, thanked the gentlemen for their time and went about your business.

that way you won't continue to look like an idiot or worse, a whining loser.

 

btw, Mullen actually won the game in the above video and they still whined liked a bunch of ill -mannered babies....falling far short of LaSallianian traditions.

bad video -Maybe, however .....

I don't think the point of it was whether the team won or lost. The win or loss is irrelevant. From a journalists perspective it's about the truth
I heard it said several times by several officials throughout the year - "Why are they complaining? They're winning anyway." I think it matters not whether a team is winning or not, the fact remains that the right calls need to be made irregardless of whether a team is winning or not. Calling a lacrosse game is certainly a tough job, no doubt about it - but you have to do it for the love of the sport and not out of spite for a team(s).  Are mistakes going to be made? Absolutely - it's a fast game, but the blatant and easy calls have to be made.
Don't get me wrong, hats off to 99% of you who go out and do the job for the right reasons and take pride and integrity in the job you do. To the other 1%, it's time to move on. 
Most HS Varsity programs are filming their games - unfortunately or fortunately, the videographers are concentrating on the game action and not necessarily what the officials are doing during a time out or half-time. In speaking w/ several coaches across the board in the Colorado conferences I think that is about the change next year. It seemed to be a comment I heard over and over from several coaches in several different conferences. Concern over a few officials. 
The rest of the story ..... the stick was placed behind the officials back, while the other teams stick was checked. The stick in question was never checked again to see whether the ball rolled out or not. No penalties were called and both sticks were placed back into play.

you're right, the point isn't

you're right, the point isn't about who wins and who loses it is about constant, infantile WHINING.

some teams, reflecting their coaching staffs, are non-stop whiners and complainers. for officials it is a job hazard, like poor field conditions.

as for your assertion that the stick in question wasn't checked properly I ask, how would you know?  even the coach responsible for that video acknowledges the stick was rechecked and the ball dislodged cleanly.

 

 

bad video but worse yet ....

I don't think the point was whether the team won or lost.

From a journalists perspective, does it make it ok NOT to make the RIGHT calls just because another team won inspite of the calls? I've heard that several times. "Why are the complaining, they won?" I think that goes to show that one knows they made the wrong call, but it "doesn't matter" because the team won anyway - so no harm, no foul.

I think win or lose, if the right calls were not made, then it should be called out when its happening over and over. Everyone knows that most, if not all Varsity Highschool Lax games are filmed and a reason to be true to yourself and the game. Unfortunately or fortunately, the videographers are more focused on catching the game action, then what the officials do during a time-out or half-time - however, I think that will change next year in speaking with several teams in the Colorado Conferences. 

I agree that calling a lacrosse game is tough and hats off to the 99% of you who go out there & do your job with pride and integrity - but you do it for the love of the sport and not out of spite for certain teams.

The rest of the story .... there was not another stick check done, the ball never rolled out of the stick in question. The ball stuck and was placed back into play.

refs

in spite of the fact that this forum is by far the most worthless i have ever wasted the time to read ( do ya really think hlax has any connection to the team??)(has anybody looked @ this seasons stats when making declarations about who the best goalies are? or defensemen? or any position for that matter?) i will however fully agree that jack gormley has no business officiating any lacrosse game above the second grade. he and his lackeys need to be held in check for all the crap they pull............ i still can't believe they let gormley ref the state championship!!! he is a farce, a cheat and jerk as well.

cowards

and you, sir, are merely a coward. 

 

2010

So who are the best returning players by position for 2010?

2010

Attack: Jake Smith, Mullen, Greg Colisimo Arapahoe, Michael Roberts, Monarch

Midfield: Greg Kelsic Chatfield, Will Horne, Kent, Mitch Erickson, Chatfield

Defense: Brett Newman, Fort Collins, Davis Gunter, Arapahoe, Matt Kremer, Heritage

Goalie: Ryan LaPlante, Fort Collins, Chris White Creek

LSM: Peter Mcartney Colorado Academy

i can agree with everyone on

i can agree with everyone on the board except michael roberts? Matt Kremer? Both Goalies?? i would say kolton fatzinger  at goalie or w/e his name is at wheat ridge, maybe connor lewis at chatfield or coulumbines new goalie ben ripperton, for defense i think russ wilson at ca i played against i play attack he is insane and he should be up there, but otherwise it looks good

you might of forgot about...

 Rhody Heller and Tanner Ottenbright from Regis. Both will be THE best players at their positions this year. Both are highly recruited to schools like Gtown and UVA.

Lets go Regis.  Arapahoe is

Lets go Regis.  Arapahoe is in for a tough game

Settle down Beavis!

My goodness the crack smoking comment was a joke folks.  It was statement merely to question the sanity of HLAX.  That is all.   Supposed to be a joke, funny ha ha.  

Coach 12345

 

Maybe you should take your comment about Drug testing to your own school. This lax community doe snot need people liek you involved. Just remmebre this is a very small tight group and you and Hlax will be found out. That will be a sad day for each of you.

grow up

seriously

 

Are you that sheltered?

 

He  made a joke that they need to drug test because his rankings were bad.

 

Hey HLax

My Dearest HLax - The only "seating" you need right now is at the dinner table to eat more crow. Dude, you are smokin' the drapes.

 

State Playoffs

Congratulations to all the teams this year some really great Lax is showing in the state. From my perspective I see that every team better take it one game at a time that to look past anyone is going to cost you. Take at  look at some of the defeats whether in state or out of state, HS or College. Leasons should be learned from the past and if they are we will all see the best playoffs in this states history.

 

Again good luck to all and remember play hard, be humble and always act like you have been here before as you never know who is watching in the stands.

 

 

Seatings for State

Seatings for state are out, and the top 8 teams are:

1. Arapahoe
2. Mullen
3. Kent
4. Heritage
5. Regis
6. Creek
7. Ft Collins
8. Mnt Vista

I'm not going to go into what I think about the seating, but I'm sure most of you know my thoughts.  Assuming the top 8 advance to the qrts (and I think Ft Collins gets beat by DC in a rematch).

 QRTS

Arapahoe over Mnt Vista 10-4

Mullen runs all over  Ft Collins 18-2

Kent avenges the lost to Creek 10-8

Heritage over Regis 10-9 (closer due to walker)

 SEMI'S

Heritage over Arapahoe (They play like the 2nd-4th qrt not the first) 9-8 in OT

Kent is on the payback tour beats Mullen 10-4

 Finals

Heritage over Kent 10-9

 

 

Drug testing?

Are they doing drug testing in CO school's yet?  ...Moreover, at Heritage H.S.?  If you talk to most coaches, they'll tell you that Arapahoe and Mullen are playing the best ball.  Should be exciting.  Good luck to all.   

Wow.


Again I would like to restate that nobody in the Heritage program is making such claims as HLax and again would encourage him to stop talking and making us seem arrogant. I dont want to discourage people from posting their predictions for playoffs, but HLax that is hard to do when you have already discredited your own opinion. It may be best to just succumb to reading the comments here.
 

But @Coach12345, that was low... comments such as this are unnecessary and crude. Nobody in the lacrosse community appreciates such accusations (even in a joking manner).

As for my own opinion, with the random cluster of upsets this season, its hard to predict anything past the second round.
But I believe the most likely Final 4 will be coincidentally the top 4 ranked teams as of now, Arapahoe, Kent, Mullen, and Heritage.  But dont count Regis, CC, FoCo, or Vista out of it. As of right now, the state championship is going to the team who has something to prove, the real question, is who will that be?

Hlax

They are called seedings, not seatings, hence the term "seeds".  How am I expected to respect your sporting opinion if you don't even know what seeds are?

On top of that, your predictions make very little sense.

Heritage/FOCO

Hlax,

I can't tell if you hate Fort Collins more then you love your Eagles, but I think it must be close.  18-2 loss coming to Mullen? Rematch loss to Douglas County? Please.  Vipers are young, I'll give you that but their close d is every bit as good as yours, their goaltending is better and the attack is no worse then a draw. I'm also here to tell you your mids are no better either. Too bad that game wasn't played. Could have been a really good one. 

You've had a great season, (against laxpower's 15th toughest schedule...) but now we'll see how good you are.  Good luck against Regis. 

Seedings for state

HLax --

The folks on this board love what a Heritage homer you are.  But it is also tough not to bait you a little bit.

In your march to the state championship, I note that you overlook Heritage's first round game.  If the bracket plays out, that would be against # 13 Fairview.  Who had Heritage tied up after three quarters and who only lost 10-8.  I think the Heritage coaches and players would prefer that you take it one game at a time.

Westside Rankings

I think the Westside guys are trying to be edgy and controversial with their rankings but in my opinion are only becoming irrelevant. Kent still #1 over Arapahoe? Chatfied?
