I dont want to sound like a jerk here , but cool numbers and all but not usre how much they mean. Some of these teams have been in blow outs where the 2nd string goalie and D is in, they let in a goal or two and it fudges the numbers. Accounting for a running clock?

All the advanced analytics here are for not and may work in pro or high level college games, but not in HS.

There are very few numbers that matter, one is the number in the W column and the other is the number of L's in the playoffs. You have an 1 in the L column for the playoffs and your most likely not the best team. Thst it. [/quote]

I get that numbers are scary for you.

Do you somehow think that the numbers contradict the wins and losses? Because, um, that's dumb. The numbers provide context, which can be used along with human observation and evaluation.

Do you have any useful comments about any of the teams? Do you actually know enough about lacrosse to offer any useful comments? What have you seen that contradicts the numbers? [/quote]
