Congrats on going to Navy though and thank you for your service.
Seriously, do you even have an iota of self awareness that this reads like a slap at a kid who: (1) while on the low end of mid-tier teams for the area; (2) still managed to impress enough coaches - you know, people who actually watch and know a lot of lacrosse - to be named POY; and (3) decides to make a decade-long commitment to serve his country? I get it, The Heights was overhyped and got several reality checks once they got into the meat of their schedule. Reality checks that still had opposing coaches saying "Hey, that kid's pretty good." What the actual f*** is wrong with you mopes?!?

Since when does winning, playing the toughest competition and performing in/ winning big games take a backseat to IG reels and a bloated statline from playing weak comp and multiple positions. There are numerous kids on the top 3 or 4 teams in the DMV more deserving (Heights was 13th). The Post clearly has no idea and apparently "opposing coaches" don't either. Really classy move by the Next Level folks putting that on IG well before the all-met team is announced as well.
Everyone who made All Met has been notified, so I don't see anything wrong with schools and club programs firing up the hype machine.

OK, who are we talking about then? Who are the guys that you believe were more deserving? Heights was 9th, fwiw. Not sure this is something to get worked up about, but nothing wrong with a discussion.Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:not a good look that a team that didn't even make it to the WCAC semi finals is the Wash Post POY.

Can the moderator look up their IP address to verify?
