[quote=Anonymous]Two very meaningful posts above from a very sincere BF parent, and the only lax dad I know with the guts to put his name behind his words in this forum.  Good people and good thoughts.

As a neutral on this one, but a close follower of VA Public lacrosse, I would echo two things: (1) Battlefield's rise should be celebrated in an era when too many come on here just to decry the declining state of VHSL lacrosse.  It shows competitive and geographic growth which is welcome.  More than perceived SES, I believe some of the negativity toward BF has been driven by jealousy of how the playoff brackets were structured in the past, which gave BF a clearer path to the State finals than historical power programs in Fairfax and Arlington; that has been rectified.  And yes, maybe a bit by the BF fans' special brand of enthusiasm.  That said, things seems to be going pretty well in real competition this year, including fan behavior, and the playoffs are shaping up to be among the most exciting and competitive in years;
(2) the sentiments on the fact that we are talking about kids playing a game, having meaningful moments of growth and resilience, are directly on point.  It's just not appropriate to talk about other's children in a specific and negative way, here or elsewhere, in a public forum.  It's not funny, or cool, or "just trolling."  It's classless.  And when adults do it, it's absurd and self-indicting. You may be anonymous, but you know you posted.  Agree strongly with the call to be better and move on.  Looking forward to a great postseason.[/quote]
