Did they ask older kids to play, I have no clue. But IF they did and IF older kids played, they were there as fill in for short numbers not to help "win" as VLC doesn't focus on tournament wins. So again IF that happened you can call it cheating but I would say that might be a bit of a stretch.


The game in question was a 10-0 loss, so I am not following the 25 Parent’s logic that a bunch of 25s were playing in that game. Doesn’t seem that VLC had an unfair advantage in that game. It looks more like vlc was at a disadvantage.


There is no "if" about it. Older kids absolutely played. The fact is that it is still cheating even if you were short a player due to injury or some other "good reason". That is not a "stretch" it is a fact. If some or all of your best players can't make the tournament, oh well, suck it up and take the L, don't bring in older kids to fill in. That is wrong, period.

If VLC hadn't brought in some 25 subs, the 2026 team would have been crushed even more massively than they were.

don't confuse the issue. its a fact that 25s were asked in advance to play with the 26s and a few players did. some call it cheating. cheating can still happen and be less effective than desired. more offense needed? more defense? probably both


Oh, it’s you again. Don’t you have to get ready for Crab Fest?

why wait? look at the 21s and 22s.

PVI had a great tournament win but it's PVI, not VLC. PVI is well regarded and has a great future.

Add in the 9 that will be playing in state finals in VA this week


+1


that's not saying much, red session was garbage, big boys are playing in the white


So you don't count Bullis as one of the big boys? They've been touted in every other forum post. You can only beat who they put you against.


It will get PVI ready for another run at VEL this fall.

White session also has Woodberry forest St Albans some out of state public schools. Red Session may have been weaker but still had some strong teams like Salisbury and G town prep. But not Yorktown
