Thank you for an intelligent answer. Obviously whoever started this thread was not from Baylor. This is Baylor's 2nd year for lacrosse...and as you said it takes time to develop a program.

 

 

It??™s doubtful anyone from Baylor started this. Being an SI top 25 school usually means these stunts just aren??™t part of the equation, not to mention tolerated. Some of the responses unfortunately appear to be just as immature. It was good to see that at least a few took the high road and submitted good comments.

 

Baylor wasn??™t ranked the number one athletic school in Tennessee for nothing and it should be no surprise that they hired Jon Bloom to coach. People in the Nashville area remember him for making Webb BB a legit D1 team a few years ago. Apparently he??™s added a couple of other coaches that played college ball as well. It??™s probably only a matter of time before Baylor catches up with the rest of the TN teams.

Spreading participation of a relatively small amount of male students over track, baseball, soccer, tennis, crew and now lacrosse is a trick. However, with the ability to hire a top notch coach, I have no doubt that The Baylor School for Boys and Girls will quickly rise to mediocrity in just a few short years. Of course, being a "SI Top 25 School", there may not be enough patience to develop the program and they'll drop it as they did several years ago. When your tennis team is getting whacked 0-9 by the boys in blue across the river, resources might have to be diverted from lacrosse to bring in expensive talent from Zimbabwe and Germany.

You obviously do not know Coach Bloom. As long as he is there Baylor will field a Lacrosse team and it will keep improving. USN has less boys than Baylor and they have done pretty well over the years, Baylor has plenty of male athletes to keep all their programs running.

yeah, you guys sure are modest. and no offense but the east division doesnt look very strong. signal mt is 0-5 and you guys only beat them 10-3. you got crushed by webb bellbuckle, a D-1 team that isn't that good. as far as the top teams in division 2, Ryan, Brentwood and i guess cookeville (i just haven't seen them or any other teams play that I thought were top teams), you dont see those teams making their own post pages. As a matter of fact, you dont even see MUS, CBHS, or MBA making their own pages and those are some of the best teams in the STATE year in and year out (not to leave our ravenwood or mccallie.) my point is either back it up with your play, or just dont talk at all. I'll wait to believe your "dominance" when I see it.

 

Brentwood beat Signal Mountain today 17-1 or something like that.

    • RR, you might remember. Didn’t someone hide the kicking shoe that game? It seems I remember we had missed a kick the week before, and we needed all the points we could get. We thought we had a better chance going for two, so $?&@$ hid the shoe after the first miss that game. No one on our sideline looked for it very hard.
    • I will never forget the 1983 Heritage vs Maryville game. I remember driving home and listening to WGAP. Can't remember the announcers name. He asked Coach Story why he kept going for 2? Story told him " Why didn't you ask Renfro that last year"
    • TSSAA will let them all go to Mase.
    • Well nothing new, the Mustangs are really talented again this coming season!  They very well could go undefeated in regular season.  We shall see what happens in postseason.  I think the path to state title game is a little clearer than years past.  I think the Stangs are going to be really good and I think the traditional teams around in 2A are not going to be as strong.  It should be a fun season!
