      Banner again this year and undefeated as well!
      We are a very good team with very good players who work hard and deserve and reap the awards.
      We are a “premier” high school team and unfortunately most public schools, anywhere, are
      Really an extension of town Rec. Sorry

      If you are a premier high school team, you would go out of your way to compete with other private or prep schools in New England (and beyond). Similar to what MSC is about to do with hockey.

        If they were a real premier high school team they wouldn’t be barely beating so-called rec teams.

          Some people call it parity. I call it awful soccer from top to bottom. When anyone is able to beat anyone it isn't because everyone has gotten better and are now on an equal playing field. They have gotten worse and are now on an equal playing field. Watch, think, fact.

              Playoffs

              Well the playoffs are now upon us. I am going with LaSalle with SK as the runner up. What a surprise! As far as the rest are concerned. Go out and have some fun. As stated above there is not much difference from 3 to 15. If you want to debate this you are too hopeful for this site. lol

                  I would think that the concept of playing in regional and national leagues would entice high level athletes to attend LSA (or any other like private school) and not having RIIL teams, they would not be subject to recruiting rules. Something to consider, if private schools want to be considered premier level, they need to be able to compete and beat like competitors. Seems it would not only benefit the private schools, but the public schools as well.

                    But if they go play other recruiting private’s and prep’s, their domination ends and then they have less recruiting cache. They’d have to start from scratch (and likely at the bottom of the standings), and why would they do that when they can continue to dominate in public school league?

                      First, there is not a great comparison to what MSC is doing in hockey; just look at what MSC plans:

                      "The tuition for the players who choose to be boarding students will be $44,975 per scholastic year, which breaks down to $18,575 for boarding expenses, $12,000 for the boarding fee, and $14,400 for tuition. Take away the boarding expenses for day students and the tuition is $26,400 per year.

                      • Each Tier 1 AAA team will play close to 60 games, including national showcase tournaments. The season will start during the last week of August and play the majority of its games on the weekends. The goal is to play in the USA Hockey National Tournament that begins in early April, and Plante expects his program's teams to compete right away. "

                      Second youth hockey/high school to college (at least around here) vastly different than youth soccer to high school/college. Most serious hockey players go to prep school programs even after high school and many high schools don't have (if they have at all) a serious high school program, let alone state league.

                      What is interesting is MSC keeping a "RIIL" team - not sure if this is a bone to the PCOA or just to avoid losing tuition dollars for the marginal local player to other schools. Interesting how RIIL distinguishes the RIIL team from the rest of the program..

                      Additionally, look at the coaching staff MSC is bringing in - no way you could match that at soccer and hard to believe a parent would pay $44K (or even $26K for commuters) for soccer unless you were getting a far superior private school education (ie. the top ISL schools).

                      Hard to imagine a high school replacing the Stars, Scorpions, and FSA - and considering you have to compete at a single "U" level that means bringing in (like MSC) 20 or so kids per age group..

                      Fascinating idea though and will be interesting to see how MSC fares..

                      Finally, LSA going to say ISL - why would they? Nothing to gain but more cost..LSA would rather stay on top in RIIL and be (usually) the best among mediocre than be mediocre among the better..

                        Absolutely great points! Although the soccer landscape is admittedly quite different than hockey, I think with a concept similar to Mounts they can truly say they are among the best if this program is a success. I think people would have more respect for LSA and similar schools if they at least tried to compete with like programs nearby. Even if it is non league games.

                          Things have evolved dramatically in school sports just within the last 5 years. LaSalle has not kept up with the changing times. As the quality of RIIL sports continues to decline, the quality of prep school sports continues to rise. LaSalle players today are largely the girls who were not recruited by prep school teams and have no other private school choices.

                              $44k is the quoted price. Top athletes at prep programs like this pay a fraction of that.

                                How many points are needed in each division to make the playoffs? I believe it was 13 for d1, but not positive. Any idea for d2?
