Sucks for the rest not getting to finish the season. Definitely have some talent on that team.
Yes, agreed, there are some talented players. But depending how many were playing down it's kind of tough to tell. A pretty good 07 playing 08 might look like a star, but who knows when playing on age.
It's interesting that this team decided to pull all their teams for the season, coincidentally right when they got caught cheating in State Cup. All other MoCo teams managed to deal with the mask mandate. Yeah, we all hate it (for outdoor kids sports at least) but Bethesda and many others practiced and played with masks.
Agree with the coach that other teams do this (including one or two that seem to cross-pollinate players with this team), and I hope this serves as a warning to those teams that there are consequences when you get caught.
As the coach is apparently open to taking questions: I get that deck is stacked against smaller clubs, and being surrounded by Bethesda, Potomac, Achilles, etc. is tough. And I know you have lost good players to some of those teams. But how do you justify teaching 11 year olds that cheating is the way to win? And was it worth it?
