That video also solidifies me why Veo is terrible for lacrosse. It missed the actual controversial goal. |
If you knew how to work VEO, you would know it's panoramic, and you can control what the camera is focused on. You can also zoom in and out and pause. If you don't know how to work the technology, perhaps consider having your daughter teach you how to use it before you come here bashing the product... |
You also have sound with VEO, as in hearing the whistle, which is when the play is officially over. Important in this case for certain. lol |
I’m just watching the linked in game sir. |
Thankfully so we can hear those Heros parents, good god, get a grip Heros mom. |
More than halfway through the season now. First four playoff positions seem set.
1. Mnd 2-3. Heros or Mdu East (depends on who wins their game against each other) 4. Cop Central 5. Cop West (if they can win their next 4 games) 6-8. Looks like there will be several teams with a record of 5-3. It will come down to tie breakers. |
Two games that will determine playoff spots
YJ DMV vs Cop West Skywalkers vs Stars |
2 others: BLC Blue vs Skywalkers Blue BLC Blue vs YJ DMV |
BLC got a screw job honestly, having to face M&D, MDU and Coppermine.
|
If BLC wins out they probably will be one of the 5-3 teams that get into the playoffs. |
BLC and HG always get the shaft on schedules since M&D protects theirs by refusing to play MDU each year. Looking at it, and MDU’s schedule is a joke this year. They don’t play M&D or Copp. |
Agreed, I do wonder if they will be prepared when it counts. |
As a parent with a high schooler and middle schooler, I wish someone had told my older kids’ teams that all this talk of record for a seventh grade team feels misplaced. Girls still growing a lot. Some of the best players will stay that way but more often than not, the field will change by high school based on size, injury etc. And a lot of times, most lacrosse parents can’t see the forest for the trees.
Also this ridiculous NCAA settlement is going to change the nature of recruiting for any conference a school that opts in. Lots more lacrosse scholarships which sounds good on paper but I worry that coaches are going to rely much more heavily on the portal now. Why take a chance on an high school athlete when you can get a hungry bench sitter from Duke? Ivies didn’t opt in but you better have the grades and test scores or they won’t take her (just ask all the junior recruits retaking the SAT after their commitment was announced.) my kid saw five at the test recently. |
We are just talking about our girls playing lacrosse. I don't think anyone is taking it seriously. What is going on with the NCAA settlement? |
With all due respect, if this is the way you are “just talking about your girls playing lacrosse” it is too result-focused and catty, esp for middle school. I try to remember that maybe people wouldn’t actually talk like this IRL and then I go to my younger daughter’s games and hear wild comments on the sideline. As for NCAA settlement, not final but current version has scholarship spots increasing for women’s lacrosse from 12 to 30 (most people think this will allow coaches to offer current players more rather than create room for HS bc rosters are capped). Also likely to eliminate walkons bc rosters are capped. Olympic sports and men’s sports beyond the revenue generators are being decimated. Football basketball etc getting huge bumps. Schools have to opt in. Ivies did not. My take is power conferences are not looking out for athletes but rather revenue. |
