How did all of the teams do today?

If this team included the best players in DC and Virginia how could they not get at least one win?

30s are still 3 years from being recruited. There really is no major benefit so I am sure some really strong players opted out of spending all of that money to go to DE Turf.

Kind of looked like the team was composed of the top players from a local team.. Just sayin...

AS is a really well run and fun tournament, but the selection process is unbelievably stupid and political. NB AA is just as well run, but most kids I talked to thought it was more fun and IMO the talent level for most regions was better. The 2029/30 DC team at NB AA was probably the only region that was weaker than its AS regional team, but they were still very strong and showed out well. They lost to the champion bmore team in the quarterfinals and played an excellent LI team tight until the very end of the game when they ran out of steam. If your kid makes AS, great, it will be a good experience, but if your kid makes both, send them to NB AA.

They told us that within 2 years, any player who didn't play AA as a sophomore and junior well not be eligible for the Senior Game.

Mostly accurate. However, I’d describe it as the top players from one local club, a few good players from other clubs, and not the best players from the rest of the clubs. The top players weren’t put in a position to win because at least a 1/3 of the roster weren’t even the best players from DV/VA.

Only 50 girls total make the senior game.

Top talent from around the country was mainly at AS. MD was the only exception where a lot of the best players choose AA. Which makes sense because its easier travel.

That’s not true. Take the 2029s; outside of DC teams, not one AS team was better than its AA counterpart. Bmore was better than MD Red, all of the top PA players played for Philly in AA, most of the upstate girls were at AA. Long Island was split between the two events, however, with YJ kids choosing AS and 91 Roar choosing AA. And I saw what the older classes had up at AA as well, definitely more talent there.

If you look at 27’ and 28’ years. Which is really the only ones that matter at this point. The better players were at AS across all regions. AA did have some of the better players out of MD choose that event in those grad years.
