[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This whole conversation is so weird.

With all due respect, who cares about who won the natty? Very few players are choosing a school based on whether a team has won the national championship. College, for most, is about academics and having a great overall experience.

For example, many people believe playing for an Ivy or a school like Stanford or Duke is far BETTER than winning a national championship. So even if they could play at team that has won multiple nattys, they aren’t going to choose it. The question one should be asking is whether a club able to help your daughter develop and grow and, come high school, to commit to a school that checks their boxes.

But if you’re strictly talking competitiveness of teams, I would think a more accurate measure would be looking at top 20, or teams that made the NCAA tournament, or teams that made it to final four. But bottom line is that if there are declining numbers for top local teams, it isn’t because of the emergence of other local teams - it’s because the sport is growing and more players are being recruited from non-hotbed areas and from areas like NY.

Our first Capital parent has entered the chat! The only people who say lacrosse is merely an avenue to an Ivy. SMH.

I wouldn’t assume that parents posting on here are:

1) actually parents of 35s, 34s or 33s. People chat all the time in forums that aren’t about their kid, and this forum has been on the top of the new posts list for a while. Drama is always a draw.

2) actually more than one person. No doubt the Hoco dad is posing as other unique but aligned +1 posters. Lauding the 34 team and club is the clear agenda, but so is ginning up bad feelings about M&D and Hero’s. Some of the pro Hoco 2034 posts are so obnoxious that even that could be a fake Hoco person. Similarly, the piling onto Hoco may just be by one person with a grudge against the 34 head coach (with the Century mentions; no 35 or 34 or 33 parent is going to be in the know about that) but pretending to be novel posters.

Let’s all have good tournaments this weekend! See everyone at Live Love Lax, except Hoco lol. They’re at an Apex tournament once again.
