If the WP and Taz were smart they would leave the teams and coaches in place. These 2 teams are as good as it gets at this level of lacrosse. The fact that they now go head to head in a manner rarely seen at this age says a lot. Competition breeds success and both these teams have found it. By looking at the threads the bashing between both teams has slowed to a halt and what that tells me is their is an unsaid respect now between the programs. Last season it was the WPs year, this year its Taz's time. who knows what happens next season but I'm sure its going to be knock down competitive and that's what's its all about. Cogratz to both teams on making 2024 Lax very exciting. Unfortunately my son is dealing with a program that is not showing this kind of progress, hope his skills step up into next season, making either one of those teams is his goal.
Very well said and agree. My son's program did not progress as well. But..as you know...grass is ALWAYS greener and there will be movement. Amongst all programs. Up to every program to evaluate every year what they have and see what they can do to get better. We all spend too much time and $ to be flat lining.
Although winning and losing not critical at this level, skill development is. Dont want to build on a bad base, in any sport. Even the kids that dont play a ton in tight games on these two teams...they get the benefit of what I bet are really good practices. Lots of touches. Lots of development. That is what its all about. Oh yeah, and fun while developing.
