After 45 years, this frequent flyer is finally landing.

Chaminade head lacrosse coach Jack Moran announced he’s stepping down from his role — 21 championships and 629 wins later.

“I’m just going to miss the banter,” Moran, 73, told The Post.

“Often, when interacting with the kids, a simple look is enough… whatever we engage in, we give it our all, every single moment. I’m truly going to miss reminding them of that daily.”

After Moran announced the end of his tenure, he received “178 text messages and about 100 emails” from former players wishing their old coach well.

“I know them all,” Moran said of those he instructed since 1979. “I probably have a story for every one of them.”

It’s not his final flight, however.

Moran will hold an advisory role with the prestigious Catholic program, where students cut from varsity teams are often still recruited for college.

His attention will shift towards the growth of players and enhancing team robustness, emphasizing enthusiastic second and third-line players as “by sophomore year, those who sulk realize they might not be in the right sport.”

“I won’t be attending every away game. I’ll be enjoying watching my grandchildren play during weekends, but I’ll certainly make it to the Delbarton game,” he mentioned regarding the New York-New Jersey competition.

Assistant coach Gregory Kay, the school’s chief academic officer and 1998 grad, will fill the coach’s huge shoes next spring.

Moran, whose Flyers last won it all in 2018, ended his career on a championship loss to the school’s respected archrival, the St. Anthony’s Friars, by a score of 16-12 last month.

“In fact, I was happy it was St. Anthony’s,” Moran said. “Because from going out, that’s a team I want to go out with.”

Semis are Place to be for Carle Place

These Frogs don’t want to croak in the big game.

Carle Place’s softball team is heading to the state semifinals and could bring home the Nassau County town’s first state title in the sport.

The 19-5 LI champions face 20-3 Chatham in the semifinals Friday night.

“We don’t know anything about them, we’re going in blind,” said sophomore third basemen Alexa Mifsud.

Nevertheless, the squad is keeping cool and calm.

Junior Isabella DeGroot, a first baseman who also pitches and plays the outfield, recalled pregame jitters of playing Cold Spring Harbor in the first round of the Nassau County games.

They conquered CSP 18-0 and then 20-0 in the best-of-three series, and the Frogs used the moment to know the team can hang with the best of any competition thrown their way.

“We’re going to have to be ready for all different kinds of pitches now — and we’ve done a lot of hitting drills for that,” DeGroot added.

The USA Patriots amputee softball team, better known as the National Wounded Warrior squad, is traveling to Long Island to take on two local teams, the LI Senior All-Stars and LI All-Stars, at noon and 1:30 p.m. Saturday at Moriches Athletic Complex. Admission is free.
