Team Stats (posted April 20, 2009)

Stats for Varsity and JV are now posted, just click the TEAM menu button (to the left) and appropriate level in the drop down menu for stats.  The JV stats do not include the first two games.

Ground Ball Note:  The Ground Ball stats included are for ground balls that are 'possessed' for at least a 'two-count'.  If a player picks up the ball, drops it, and picks it up again, then it is only considered one ground ball.  If a player picks up a ground ball and it is immediately checked out of his stick (< 2-count), then it is not being considered a ground ball.

[Please note that these statistics are those captured by Mr. Long and are not the "official" scorebook stats.]

First Home Game (posted April 2, 2009)

BE - 4, Eastern - 15

Early game jitters made for a close first half with Eastern leading 6-3.  However, Eastern scored on 9 of their 17 shots in the second half to spoil the inaugural home opener for the Crusaders.  An errant pass by Eastern eluded the goalie and went in the net for Eustace's first goal.  Joel McGowan led BE with three goals.

Scrimmage Results (posted March 29, 2009)

BE - 4, Cherry Hill East - 4

BE - 8, Moorestown Friends 1

Six different players scored goals.  The score was indicative of the game as shots were 37-13, and ground balls were 54-18.

Coach's Corner (posted March 13, 2009)

The first week of practice has been going well.  The boys are working hard at their conditioning and their lacrosse. 

Several items I need to bring to your attention (before I forget!):

- The Spring Sports communion breakfast is Sunday, March 22, in Crusader Hall at 9:00 am.  It is expected that all Spring athletes attend if at all possible.  There is a mass, some food, and individual team parent meetings to follow.

-  We have added a varsity game against Oakcrest on 4/20, a JV game against Gloucester Catholic on 4/9, and a scrimmage against Cherry Hill East on 3/24 to our schedule.  The schedule is available online at

NJ081092198&spt=15&lvl=1&division=1&ct=s&year=2008&timeoffset=240

-  The guys have been doing a great job of being ready to go at 4:00.  As a result, we’ve been able to let them go at 6:00 as promised.  Please make sure you have arrangements for your son to get picked up in a timely manner.  As a parent, I know sometimes things get messed up, but you should realize that a coach has to remain until all players have been picked up.  Thanks for your help with this.

-  Next Thurs. and Fri. are half days for the underclassmen (the juniors and seniors are away on class trips).  The freshmen and sophomores are taking standardized tests.  We will have practice one of the days (probably Friday) right after school from 12:30-2:30.  We may go that time for both days.  I’ll keep you posted but just wanted to alert you to the different schedule.

Coach's Corner (posted January 16, 2009)

Coach Carlin is trying to get the administrative things out of the way before the season starts.  All players are asked to supply the coach with the following information:

     1. E-mail address (so he can update his distribution list.)

     2. Registration Form

     3. Conditioning Form

Conditioning Program - Bishop Eustace has a conditioning coach this year and it is recommended that all prospective players be in shape when practices begin in early March.  The newly refurbished weight room will be available to all players beginning the week of January 26th.  

Schedule Changes - Click on the 'Schedule' menu button to the left and see the updated schedule.  A summary of the changes follow: Absegami game changed to Saturday, Clearview dropped, and Cherry Hill East added.
