[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone brought up Hero’s Green 28. They had multiple losses to top ten teams last year. Double losses to Eagle Stix. Triple losses to Coppermine and double losses to MD United. Losses to Aces and Crush MD too. Barely beat Pride Red (??) by one goal (ranked 19) and squeaked by Monster (ranked 16) too. [/quote]

And they won the Youth National Championship in DE this summer. There’s that to consider too. [/quote]

Agree, but with Coppermine missing a few stars, and Eagle Stix not attending, the door was open for the #3 team.[/quote]

In other words,  when you remove Coppermine's holdbacks, they are no longer the best teams.[/quote]

Can we put this to bed once and for all and stop targeting specific kids?  So lame for an adult to do. [/quote]

No specific kids were named.  It's a very valid point about competitive fairness.   The only tourney all year which requires kids to be on-age sees the #1 team lose to a team outside the top team from the west.[/quote]

Agree.  Probably need girls lacrosse to go the age verification route.  Holdbacks for lacrosse alone, with no academic or developmental need, have become rampant for boys on the top clubs.  The private schools thread for DC routinely jokes about boys aging out and not being able to play their senior season of high school.  It would be a very negative development for that to spread to the girls game, and the major success that the top 2028 team has experienced is a pretty powerful incentive for more.[/quote]
