Marshall parent here, score was Yorktown 13 Marshall 3 until the last 10 seconds when classless #21 added an extra wound to Marshall. Personally, I think that scoring right before the end when you’re up by 10 is pretty unsportsmanlike and disrespectful. Talked to my son after the game and word on the street is #21 is “a total douche” (his words not mine) and acted in character. I think that players like this are contributing to the loss of decorum in this sport.

Imagine if your kid played for Wakefield today.

It’s a no win situation when these better teams play the really bad teams. If they run up the score, they are jerks. If they go into four corners install, they’re just mocking the other team. If they sit their starters the whole game, that means their starters aren’t playing 50% of the season. I know our team even brings up JV players for those games and they still keep scoring.

Sorry not sorry if my son's team is that much better than your son's. Why should my son, who is a starter, constantly have to sit out after the first quarter just so the third string and JV kids can go in to play so the other team doesn't get their feelings hurt because they're losing by so much? And no, I'm not willing to drop a couple hundred grand to send my son to a private school so he can play in a more competitive high school field.

Based on the fact he is playing in the waning moments of a blowout, #21 on Yorktown likely doesnt see the field often, and that was probably his first career goal. That moment definitely meant a lot to him. If your son had such a problem with him, maybe he should’ve played better defense instead of focusing on belittling the players on the opposing team. Lacrosse is a ruthless sport.

So, it’s kind of a matter of class. Good coaches dial it back that point and look to move the ball, spread the playing time, and not ring up the score. They know their teams are superior, so what’s the point of winning 22-2 versus 12-2? Others keep in their starters and pad their stats.

Your comments give a good sense of which camp you are in. And many on this board can probably guess which one of 2 or 3 teams your kid plays for.

Guesses anyone?

Great post! The great coaches respect the game and their opponents and have that balance with all above. We were crushed by a superior Langley this year but still class act by coach, players, & parents.

So Langley beats Marshall 21-1 in the regular season, yet the concern is Yorktown scoring at 14th goal in a game that is not even a 12 goal game final?

Odd reasoning to be offended. Doesn't look like Yorktown put 20 goals on anyone this year and I'm not even a fan of them.

Yorktowns coach is one of the most classy individual’s in all of lacrosse. I’m willing to bet any 20 goal games the 2-3rd string guys are scoring. 48 minutes of playtime goes really fast with a running clock so your team really sucked if you lost by 10 or 20. The last second goal your kid gave up isn’t going to ruin his life.

Tell us your kid plays for Yorktown without saying your kid plays for Yorktown?

Is the Marshall Mom’s complaint merely that a goal was scored in the last few seconds, or something more?
