Wisconsin High School Favorites in 2008

KM's coachs are Jim Dodge *head coach* he played at syracuse (on there JV for two years and was forced to quit due to conflicts with school, meaning not having enough time.) Our assistant coach, Falco, was a goalie at Maryland his frosh year *varsity* then transfered to a smaller school since he didnt like the college. Are other coachs all played east coast Lacrosse in highschool at least (some also played at the college level)

Sounds like they have one of the better coaching staffs in state.

Stoughton had no coaches with lacrosse experience last year, never played. More or less head figures that went to some clinics and learned the most they could through resources and players.

In the Milwaukee area at least, MUHS, AHS and KM have the best coaching staff around.

That's great for the Milwaukee area. It helps a lot living by a big city because you'll get those guys who played out east and really know the game. Madison isn't small by any means but it's much harder to find those guys in the Madison area.

no our coaching staff knew about the game which was great... we could tell that they knew what they were talking about... KM just needs better chemistry, and to get better on D *we have some goal scorers who have really developed as the year went on and with the select teams

coaching is a large part of lacrosse, but not all of it. especially in wisconsin, where it is difficult for a coach to implement complex slide/offensive systems since most players are rather immature to the sport. you cant justify your claim of having a great season just based on coaching. that being said, heres a little info on the KM coaches.

Jim Dodge-played at James-Dewitt HS in NY (07 state champs), played JV for Syracuse. Just awarded the '07 MAYLA coach of the year.

Coach Morrison (Falco)-Played attack for Maryland over offers from schools like Brown and Navy. Transferred to Roanoke to get more PT. Played H.S, at historic Landon in Maryland.

Coach Long- Played at Div. 1 Canisius in NY.

Coach Pelican and Rose also played H.S. lacrosse out East before moving to Wisconsin.

Yeah, we had a coach that played some college, I forget where, Mike Dreyer, but he wasn't bad, he just lost interest in coaching lacrosse I think, because of family and focusing on football... his decision, sadly he didn't leave us with any leads, though he did try to pass us off to play for Oregon... we didn't like that.

Now I am happy I have 4 coaches that have some experience.. mostly just highschool lacrosse with other coaching experience, including highschool coaching. Just got a defense coach that played some college I believe and tried out for the two Denver teams a few years back... I think thats what our coach said. I havnt had a chance to talk to him, he has only started coming just recently since he moved to the area.

But I wish I would have had a experienced coach in HS, luckily I got to play for Darcy one summer as well as learned some from the Verona squad when I played summer with them as well.

what non conf. games r eastside... marquette and arrowhead playing this year?

i have no idea yet. we will be taking our trip down to indy again this year, but thats all of the schedule that i know

So far Arrowhead has scheduled games with, Waunakee, Stoughton, Appleton, Green Bay Metro, and Wausau. I don't know how many more they will play, but so far those are it.

I am guessing some of those are doubles? Also you should look for some Illinois teams play. I played on a summer league and a few games for my cousin. They are pretty top notch in some areas.

I'm pretty sure he means those are games they have set up for out of conference. Not just only their games for the season.

If possible play New Treier, I've played them twice and it's always been fun...they are damn good though.

i think we play you guys in like april. im looking forward to it

hey, is there any one from Bay Val on here? im getting sick of the MALL and the MALA people... no offence. Im the varsity goalie for wausau and our coaches went to a meeting and said that all the coaches were saying that we are the team to beat.

BTW, where is state this year?

state should be hosted somewhere in madison this year. should be a fun trip.

I used to play for Menasha.

The only player on that team that would now be a senior and had any skill was Brandon. ( I don't even remember his number. ) But, I watched him play a bit last year and he has gotten loads better. He's attack.
