[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's an illegal stick?[/quote]

It means the pocket is deeper than regulation, and not allowed in girls lacrosse because it gives an unfair advantage. A deeper pocket means it’s much easier to keep in your stick,for one thing. Sticks are checked at the beginning of the game so if 4 girls had illegal pockets in one short half it was intentionally done most likely - you can rig it to appear legal for the ref check and then punch it back to be illegal again.[/quote]

You clearly don’t understand how stuck checks for girls work.  The refs actually put a ball in the pocket for a stick check. A pocket that is legal at the beginning of a game can, especially in rain, become stretched out and no longer be legal later in the game.  It’s nit that unusual nor is it that big of a deal.  Plus you are talking about a tiny difference. The pockets weren’t egregious just slightly too deep.  I have no connection to Visi by the way. [/quote]

And girls don’t “punch” their strings either - at least not girls who know what they are doing. That’s not how you work the strings in a girls stick. [/quote]

Explain all you want but it smacks of cheating either way when four sticks were illegal in one half.  And the point earlier about those girls posing with the illegal sticks post game just shows they were proud of flaunting the rules.[/quote]

The girls weren't posing with the illegal sticks, it was the [b]COACH [/b] who said for them to put the illegal sticks front and center for the team picture.[/quote]

She probably did it because it was [b]petty of the other coach. Everyone thought that.[/b] Everyone! Holton parents can't be honestly proud of that? She was calling it on random people who didn't even score! And they still won despite the fact. God are you really trying to say that the coach taught them that? Holton you are so petty. Don't be a sore loser. Live off your SSSA win and let visitation have their moment. [/quote]

Yes, everyone did think it was petty.  Trying to win a game on a technicality.  Those refs really had to really study those sticks to decide if they were legal or not.  Its that tiny of a margin.  The ridiculous Holton parents braying in the stands were even more pathetic and petty.  Holton was that desperate because they knew they couldn't win just by playing the game.[/quote]

NOT A TECHNICALITY...It was multiple sticks.  The 1st time OK, but by the 2nd and 3rd time, don't you think all of the girls should have tightened and then retightened their strings?
Shame on Visi for not making adjustments.  Visi won and was the better team.

Move on, nothing left to be seen here[/quote]
