This poster clearly has an axe to grind against SSSAS/KJ, even when the facts show their team was just really good this year and played exceptionally good team lacrosse. It’s always something: they can’t win the big one and will wilt at the end of the year, they can’t win in the shot clock era, they will choke because they can’t handle the pressure of expectations, they don’t play good competition, all the usual unsupported dribble. All false.

The objective facts show they went 25-1, won two championships, played 10 games against teams ranked/receiving votes in national polls, got stronger as the year went on, dominated a good Stone Ridge team in the finals with a shot clock, and dominated a good STAB team in the finals without a shot clock. They have good talent on the team coming back, and no one is claiming anything next year other than they will compete. All not good enough for the haters.

I hope next year we can enjoy multiple quality teams in the area, and that the newer teams and established teams keep producing quality players we can root for in college as representing our region with pride. So many of these high school girls are close friends from travel/the circuit, and much closer than many of the vitriolic posters on this board who tear down these impressive young women instead of celebrating them. And for those who wanted a summary of the actual game, here’s the posted summary from the VISAA thread.
—
10-5 SSSAS wins. A lot of talented players on both sides, SSSAS just much better team overall that played well together. SSSAS went out to 5-0 lead, it was 6-1 at half, 7-3 well into 4th Q, and was never close. A shot clock wouldn’t have made a difference. Congrats to two talented teams on impressive years, with STAB getting a signature win over an excellent Good Counsel team and SSSAS winning two banners. A bunch of great players showing lax talent abundant in the region.

I had the chance to watch their last few games and got a glimpse of the future varsity team with the 2026 seniors cheering them on. The team displayed great chemistry, superb passing, and ball movement, along with impressive dodging skills! They are definitely going to dominate next year as well! KJ & BL must be thrilled to coach this talented 2027, 2028 and 2029 group of players. I even overheard parents from the opposing team mistaking their sophomores and juniors for seniors because of how well they played! They were that impressive!

Enjoy AA next year NCS!

Not to be that person but during the Sidwell game it looked like a good 8-9 players were injured in their lineup. I doubt they could play as well while being so shallow.

They were down at least 4 freshman starters. The last few games don’t represent their actual ability as a team.

It's a lie! The NCS parents would not have led is so far astray!

The parents weren’t playing the game. It was bad but they at least had possession majority of the second half because of their goalie.

Goalie dad just cant help himself.
