Topic: Brentwood the power house

A lot like walking on a grave for fear what might spring up, it seems that nobody wants to take on the BHS Indians or their fans who have identified their mission as finally getting respect that is not grudgingly given. 75 games in a row, having to overcome the homecooking at the away games and the horrible officiating that at the last game I saw against Sachem East that took away 2 goals and allowed obvious grabbing, clutching and a game plan that seemed to be based on not losing rather then trying to win. For the playoffs, I would loove to see a game plyed by the teams and not decided by the officials.

Maybe St Anthony's can beat BW, but St. Anthony's gets its players from all over LI. Whereas, BW gets its players from BW. Also, about St. A playing BW and was turned down, you heard thats the problem, you heard. I will findout for myself if thats true, and not from rumors or info that was spread by St.A.

BW could end up like the Patriots, going undefeated and losing in the big game or where it matters in the playoffs. All it takes is 1 bad game.

Typical of my point no respect unless followed by "buts", innuendo and rumor, you just can't seem to just call a fact a fact.  With regards to the Patriots, just like the Chaminades, St. Anthony's, etc. those were teams created to win via recruitment, and planning, not by just plain hard work and using the resources available.  No dis respect to them, but BW had to do it with those players at hand, not hand-picked.  75 is still 75, it takes more then luck or miracles when playing a tough schedule made out by the leagues, and not by self-interested coaches or administrators.  One day at the top of the nations rankings is sufficient answer to you, rather then one game being the proof of the pudding.

Well i know Smithtown West beat brentwood last year in playoffs, and to be honest I don't care if they are undefeated in league play for all this time. Even though it's impressive, the best teams win when it matters most.

At you juauu,

Grown ups see the truth and usually accept it. So you're a St. A fan.  Hurray for you! The eaasiest way to build yourself up is to  knock someone down. St. A had a great season and ESPN Rise recognized them as #3, which is nothing o sneeze at.  Same organization said BW is #1, the difference is negligible, and I would certainly watch a match between them, fortunately for St. A, they likely have real pride, and not that false bravado that your note is filled with. Good thing that they seem to have more class then you do, grow up and just enjoy the sport!

mario look at the nscaa website pal. im not a st. a fan im just saying the truth. ive seen both teams play more than once and no doubt st. a would win. brentwood can dominate the public schools but private schools...bw is a joke to them. bw isnt as disciplind and the only play for themselves and they r all individuals. im right ur wrong. deal with it bud.................

Brentwood is disciplined and they do not play for themselves. If you watched every game like I have, you would see they play alot of touch and go, and alot of 4 to 5 quick passes on a few touches.

All this talk about whether or not Brentwood could beat St. Anthony's is never going to get anywhere. I played at Brentwood, on the only team so far to win a state title (1989 Co-State Champs). There are definite differences in private and public schools but saying that St. Anthony's is better based on the fact that they are private is a bunch of BS. Private schools, recruit and draw from a larger pool than any other school, even a school the size of Brentwood.

I can remember when I played that St. John's (they were the dominant private school team then) had players from Bay Shore, Brentwood, West Islip, North Babylon and Huntington (these are players I remember from club ball) and several other districts. One way I could use to compare them is the Empire State tryouts. There were 18 players that played for Suffolk in the Nassau-Suffolk game that determined theLong Island team and of those 18 players 5 were from Brentwood and I think there were 2 or 3 from St. John's. So being a private school does not necessarily make them a better team with better players. It's unfortunate that there is not a Federation tournament for soccer like they have in basketball with all four champions.
