[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our DD played for another ‘top 4’ CHRVA team and Metro has, hands down, the best talent. Does Paramount make more with less? No question, does VA Juniors punch above their weight on junior teams - yes, does VA Elite produce many kids who play a lot at college (ie more prepared), yes. Ultimately Metro kids go, consistently, to more, and higher ranked, D1 schools - yes. Every kid wants to play for Metro, and occasionally, sitting on the bench is ok too. [/quote]
I get that when Paramount started 9 years ago they achieved success without being able to attract the best local talent, but they are well established now as the second best CHRVA club and attract phenomenal athletes.  I cringe every time some compliments Paramount saying things like they "make more with less" - seems super insulting to call the the amazing athletes that play for them "less".[/quote]

I would say that finishing 5th place at the 2023 18 Open Nationals (which is the all time CHRVA Record) with only 1 Power 4 player on the roster would be considered doing more with less, especially considering Metro's team that season had 7+ P4 commitments (and most of the teams with open bids in the 18 open field have upwards of 5+ Power 4 players). That team also had a 5'6" MB and a 5'7" OH. I'd also consider that doing more with less.[/quote]
I assume that it's the same poster that continually cherry picks that result from 2 seasons ago to claim some sort of superiority over Metro.  Congrats on the great result. How'd last year's Paramount 18s finish at USAV Nationals?

It's still insulting to call Paramount athletes "less" than those at other clubs.[/quote]

A feat of success from two years ago that Metro in 25 years has never accomplished (even though the esteemed Club Director of Metro has been coaching 18s for the last 15 years for the club). Metro families and players will always make excuses, especially since the above poster is Metro's little pet who [b]works as a high-profile lawyer for a major hotel chain[/b].[/quote]
Are you trying to dox someone? Not sure how that supports your contention that calling Paramount athletes "less" than those at other clubs is not insulting. [/quote]
I didn't even want to respond to that message because it was way too weird. How do you know that an anonymous poster is the Metro's little pet who [b]works as a high-profile lawyer for a major hotel chain[/b]? Did they use some attorney jargon that I missed? Or the PP is hallucinating in their belief that they can identify someone on an anonymous forum? [/quote]
