…and while we watch, all will be serenaded by the ding-a-ling of cow bells.

One or two scorers, a couple of solid defenders, someone who can hit cutters and a solid goalie is about the best most publics can hope for. Combine that with enough girls who can throw and catch and understand the basics and you've got a very strong team.

Great point. Public School coaches are often limited to 2 standout players if they are lucky. But the upper teams competing for a state title also have some very skilled complementary players committed to play at the college level. Some coaches use these players and play more of a team offense while other coaches rely only on their stand-out players running isos and two man games. Past champions Langley and Yorktown are great examples of a couple elite standout players but solid supporting cast and all played a team game. The standout players often had more assist than goals. This is what makes Battlefield a threat.

Maybe they don’t pass to your daughter because she drops it wide open...

You’re missing a lot, watch closer. 😉


Seen almost every game and it is all #22 on offense with some nice contributions by #8. She must score 40-50% of the goals as the entire offense resolves around her. If we are losing in the 2nd half it gets worse and she will take nearly every shot and doesn't even look to pass. Offense couldn't do anything against Battlefield when she was out 2nd half -- only 3 goals scored in 25 minutes. Yes, there are some other really good players on this team but coaches either don't use them or know how to run a team offense. This team could be so much better watching how other team's play.

F’in weird. Even their parents are nice after they lose.

I’d hate to see any of them in a dark parking lot 30 minutes after a game. Weird vibe from them is all I’m saying. 😳

Sounds like a New Jersey or Long Island transplant 😂
