VLC is a class organization. Hawks could take some lessons.[/quote

It is nice to see the Hawks (and their coach, and their dads) lose. I can't say that I have seen a "dark side" to VLC; but, the sham existence of Black Ops may be what people criticize them for. But when you see other teams getting new players (players getting jerseys in the parking lot and kids "re-classing" that day after plating in the 25 teams game) for playoffs in HoCo; it seems par for the course. Kids need to learn to lose, so that they can bounce back and succeed in life. The Hawks' dads, at least the ones who post here are just classless arrogant buffoons. To derive pleasure form your child's success is appropriate. To think it appropriate to mock kids on every other team, as Hawks' dads frequently do (in this forum and at the field) is contemptible. But they are following their leader. And they do win a lot at the cost of their dignity.

Blackops probably had hardest schedule. Played so well. Had sweetlax on ropes and beat the hawks and n semi we just were short on tiger our friend. We are here to stay and grow better,
