The switching of schools happen all the time. Most districts do not have the parents pay if they work in the district. South this year lost Pisano to North because his uncle is the coach there. Next year two players from the North basketball team are transfering to South to play because they know that South will be better. As a parent of an athlete from South I get mad that many players are taking away postions from South Athletes. South basketball team will have only four openings and now two will be filled by seniors transferring schools. This should not be allowed.

Back off Chris. I had the privilage of coaching him a few times. He's a class kid. His mom does work in the district so that's his option. No different then Steve Green (Brewster)who's parents work in the JJCR district. It makes things easier for parents. I'm sure as a freshamn they were not woriied about him taking someone's spot. He didn't transfer in, he was there from the start and earned his spot.
Steve is another great kid who may not ne the leader Chris is but he can defintely hold his own against anyone.

I did not read one post saying anything about the kids on Mamk negative. They have a real good bunch of players. I think it was the coach that people were implying or flat out saying were immature and whiney.
As for Dearwester, I know for a fact that in most districts, you still have to pay even if your parent is employed in the district. I guess Mamk does not do that? Or just in certain cases? I still can't see how Mamk residents can be happy that an outsider from Rye Neck comes in to Mamk and takes away a starting position. I guess the other starters don't care, and the bench kids do? You know if Suffern Hockey did the same type of thing, Mamk would have a full scale investigation.

Not being from Mamk myself, but watching them as often as I can, all you naysayers should put a lid on it. I've always enjoyed watching good area baseball, and this team does not dissapoint. They are a great team of talented, well coached kids. As for their catcher, Chris Dearwester, also a great kid, I hear his mother works in the school system at Mamk so they didn't pay a dime to send him to there. They also have another, very talented catcher waiting in the wings, who has on occassion catched this season. The sophmore is really good, maybe even better than Dearwester. I read these blogs on occasion and hear you bashing mamk, their kids and their coach. Chap is second to none in his dedication, knowlege of the game, and the effort he puts in to his program. As for the kids you bash, they don't just have one good pitcher, they have a talented core group that can be stacked-up against any team in the state. None of them toot their own horns. As for the Bosco game, and I was there, I know for a fact that the team was tight. Would they have won the game? No. But I would like to see this team of Juniors (and 2 sophmores) play a powerhouse team of recruited seniors at Bosco next year. I think it would be a different story. They lose nothing this year except Dearwester, and from what I see, his shoes will be filled very well. Good luck Mamk in the sectionals. You've earned the attention, win or lose.

"Chris Daerwester switched"? you make it sound like it was an option. Like Rye Neck kids have the option to go to either mamaroneck high school or rye neck high school (obviously they can't). IF his family did not pay the 15 thousand (or whatever it costs) to go to MHS then how is he in that high school? And if they did in fact pay this money for the last 4 years that means the Dearwesters paid about 60,000 dollars to go to MHS just for the baseball!!!! That does not speak well for their perspective on life. Basically from what I gather so far, the Mamk contingent have admitted that their starting catcher (I think) is a Rye Neck resident… NOT a mamaaroneck resident. So whatever Mamk does this year is again tainted, the same way it was tainted when Vasami (also a Rye Neck resident, who is arguably the best pleyer to come out of MHS) paid to come to Mamaroneck high school and won the section for the first time in like 50 years. And another Rye Neck resident takes a starting position away from a mamaroneck resident all in the name of winning.
