POLL: L.I. Lutheran or St. Mary's?
- Thread starter mwingate

You obviously don't know their bench. They have a much deeper bench this year than last year but you are right the teams were not fully assembled so the that game is really not something you can use to make a judgement.
i thought that was fairly obvious? CHSAA schools can't bring in new kids past sophomore year. lutheran brought in one of the best players on the island as a senior. that's not an advantage?
hey, it's all legal. they play within their own rules but it's certainly an advantage.

If you think that is an advantage so be it but alot of the CHSAA schools are much larger than Long Island Lutheran and some would say that is an advantage.
You must not have seen seen Sbarro play with the team, he has been a sweet surprise for their bench, and he is only a sophmore. KJ Lee is another great addition. There are several sophmores and juniors who are improving greatly and will be a great relief for the starters as will Alford and others that have not even played yet due to football.
If you have a bigger pool to pull from I would consider that an advantage.Hand picked? Students transfer to private schools for many reasons ie: good academics,social atmoshere, smaller class sizes and yes for the sports programs they offer. Long Island Lutheran may attract basketball players just as St Anthony's attracts football players because of their reputation for having a quality program. The beauty is the kids receive a great education at the same time.
right. and they go to rice for the class sizes.
again, they don't break any rules. but to say it's not an advantage is silly. tobias harris never could have gone there if they had the same rules as the CHSAA.
end all be all reason why they've been good? no, as they were so-so at best from the time nicholas left till the time they hired carey. and the other private schools sorta stink. so it's obviously not the only reason, but yea, it's a nice thing to have in your pocket. much nicer to have than a larger student body.
Congratulations to LUHI on a great win last night , to Ash on a spectacular 34 pts, and to the underrated bench who did their part against some very tough competitition. Great team effort!
The bench did exactly what they were supposed to do, rotate in and out to give the starters a break and maintain the level of play and they did that just fine. Some of the starters only scored 2-4 pts the whole game. I do agree that Ash looked great.
