Wisconsin High School Favorites in 2008

...one absurdly large high school. Would the WLF rules allow AHS to make multiple jv teams?

Some schools in Missouri used to field 2 freshman teams. Some even had Varsity, JV, Freshman, and like introductory teams for first year/kids that were horrible.

We already did, lol...we don't have the coaching staff for anymore teams. We had one varsity and two JV last year. There is talk about having an intro team for the kids who don't make V or JV, it wouldn't run like the normal team, but the kids would still get to practice a few times a week and schedule up games with other JV teams, but not be part of the actual conference or anything.

I mean the Arrowhead area right now has the three highschool teams, two 7th/8th grade teams, 5th/6th grade teams and a youth 3rd/4th grade program.

How did Arrowhead get such a strong infuence in lacrosse into their community? Its rediculous.

No idea. We started it one year and the next year (last year) there were youth teams and 3 high school teams it was rediculous.

So it's just strictly Arrowhead? No Hartland(or whatever that other town is called) or anything?

yea middleton is doing the same thing this year. we have about 45 freshmen this year that have already played before. we have 2 JV teams and im pretty sure are cutting people.

the newspapers call it "hartland arrowhead," the best way to describe it is that there is Arrowhead High School in Hartland Wisconsin. Have you ever heard of Mequon Homestead highschool? or Waukesha Catholic memorial? they're similar in that there is Homestead High School in Mequon Wisconsin and Catholic Memorial High School in Waukesha Wisconsin.

AHS is pretty ridiculous, with two campuses and immaculate facilities(and proper funding), it's no surprise to me that they're able to draw over 100 to tryouts.

^^^you got it.

We get called "Hartland Arrowhead" sometimes, don't know why. Arrowhead is technically in Merton(it has a Merton mailing address). But yes, it is right in Hartland which I guess is why they call us that.

Oh.. I always thought it was like a co op school. I guess I learn new things everyday

45 Freshman! wow, we have trouble just getting anyone. With fees, learning the new sport, and cost of equipment it's hard for us to recruit.

It's hard to recruit period when it's only going to be your second year having a team.

Our 2nd year(last year) we had enough for 3 teams. It just depends on how many kids you have in your school. With AHS having 2300-2500 kids you can very easily get a large number of kids interested in lacrosse.

We have a little over 2000.

Stoughton is 1200 or something, so getting 50 is pretty decent. Thought with a youth team now, hopefully that starts making a stronger influence.

We also had yet to really try and pull Edgerton kids into it, which was a possibility.

we only have 4 freshmen that are gaurenteed to play

Stoughton has like... none, for the fact that there is no telling how many kids will go out for lacrosse from the current freshmen class. Or at least none that I know of, maybe like one.

We'll have atleast 5 freshmen

Cool, so some did show up to the meeting.

Since Oregon is not fielding a team, anyone know where they are going if they want to continue playing.

They're already at Stoughton

i wonder if the oregon underclassman know they can still play at stoughton this year. they will be important for the future of the oregon program.

Janesville could use the extra bump your lacrosse whores.

It isn't a matter of us being lacrosse whores. Us and Verona are the most convient places for them to play. Some are coming here and some are going there. We got the MCF Kids and a the decent ones from Oregon.
