2030 Girls Lacrosse

[Anonymous]

Saw M&Ds roster and they got better. But other teams were able to add more talent to close the gap. M&D still might remain on top, but I can see some reshuffling of the teams right after them.

There is a family who are former teammates who likes to stir things up on here, I don’t think there are actual hard feelings from almost anyone from any team. Don’t believe everything you read on an anonymous message board.

If that’s true it sounds like SR should be pretty solid for this age group

Who Cares?

I would say SR and their supporters do. And the rest of the ISL is going to.

If there was one (self described) ‘best player,’ her departure will likely mean that everyone else will get better as I have never seen a video that involved anything other than her running down the field to the goal alone.

“Self described”? I would avoid getting personal when talking about 12 year old kids here. Talk about parents, coaches or clubs all you want but not the kids other than positively. Whether it’s the girls who left Coppermine, BLC or YJ they all left for what they think is a better opportunity to help them grow in this sport.

There wasn’t a single identifying characteristic in that post so it’s not at all personal.

Also it’s very toxic - for the player and the team - to have a ‘best player’ - everyone will be better off without this dynamic even though it stings now.

If it were only possible for people that you knew to see how you speak about 6th grade girls, I would help make that happen in an instant.

Coppermine and Heros need to update their rosters. Heros usually is quick to update them but not this year.

Again, a very general comment that you are taking personally and as some sort of grave insult. Why? It’s obviously not a positive dynamic to have a team where one player is put out there as ‘the best’ - everyone suffers including that player. However, it’s not at all uncommon and certainly isn’t a descriptor that singles out a specific team or player.

Where did you here that this is "obviously" a toxic dynamic? Have you played sports?

Let's see, are you speaking about someone, or know nothing about the team(s) and just speaking "generally"?

Actually, no one in the ISL will care about middle school wins and losses. You need some perspective. 7th grade.

A poster made an innocuous, hopeful comment about the future of a class. Reply was "Who cares?" Yeah, about 7th graders. Actually 6th.

And now there's you, who struggles with reading comprehension. Montgomery County folks are real pieces of work.

The good news is we are about to find out how good everybody actually is from Fall tournaments. My guess is:
1. M&D - got better
2a. MDU - unknown changes, lost coach
2b. HG - got better
4. Coppermine - lost a couple top players
5a. BLC - lost a top player
5b. YJMA - lost a top player

So basically the same positions as last year but most likely with a bigger gap between top 3 and others. Sound right?

Going to have to make assumptions here as the rosters have not been published.

1. M&D
2a. MDU - no change
2b. HG - made additions to get better
2c. Cp - made additions to get better
3. BLC - were they able to make additions to replace player they lost?
4. YJMA - same question as BLC
