18-9 robo,

Robo looked really solid with younger players finally starting to step up into their roles along with them getting their power players back and healthy like number 5 on defense. I could see them being in good shape for winning the region and easily the district but I don’t think they are quite ready to make a state run again.

West Po looked like they were playing the game already lost from the start after robo took a strong lead in the 1st quarter. Number 10 did her best getting 3-4 of west po’s goals but one player can’t win games alone.

No. We hate BF because the parents cheer the game like it's life or death for them (more so tha for the kids). It's high school sports for pete's sake. Wins, losses, etc. don't matter- unless you peaked in high school as a person.

I believe this is a large contributing factor and extends to how they brag on this forum. Battlefield parents need to take some accountability for creating the dynamic.

Best response so far. There are some fantastic teams full of killers in this area and basically not a word about them on these lacrosse forums. Why is that? Because their parents don’t use DCUM to blab on about it. It’s been going on for years with certain of the BF parents and it’s annoying.

100%! The BF bashing didn’t start this year or last. This has been going on for years because BF parents chose to use this forum to elevate their teams to champion status w/o having won one. Every year the tune played like a broken record, “this is our year, so watch out world!”

My daughter was fortunate to win a state championship. Not once did the players or parents feel the need to hype themselves up on this board. They played it on the field, winning with grace and quietly celebrating amongst themselves. They never hyped themselves up for the next year.

I’m sure it is only a few BF parents posting this nonsense, but this is the reputation created for BF during the years my kids have played lacrosse. It continues today. BF parents put the bullseye on the players and team, which isn’t fair to them. Word to the wise, I have a daughter who played at the highest level of D1. I am aware of players who were not offered at programs because of their parent’s behavior. Don’t ruin it for your kids. Sit back, relax and cheer everyone on.
