You can have multiple strong players on the field who can all take it to the cage, and you will win some games like that for now, but as they get older that style of play will disappear especially against better teams who can play defense.Down the road bad coaches get exposed.


Great insight about blue players and their parents. Selfish all around. The pulling back and resetting without even a look to their teammates happens all the time and then when they do pass they usually have 1 friend they will pass to. Once they get the ball you can stop running because it is never going to get passed back. They are shooting for the 7th grade call up to varsity, the 9th grade commitment to college and to be the scoring leader in newsday beating up on weak teams by scoring 10 a game. SELFISH!!


Agree 100%, from watching it happen too many times. Unfortunately, they seem to get ALL those things you mentioned in the last sentence...especially the 7th grade call up, and it's really too bad...


Did any towns that had 7th graders on Varsity make the playoffs?


Ours didn't last year, or this year, and there will be probably be 7th graders again next year...it's a joke, and having these 12 year old girls makes no difference in the outcome of any games, or the final record...it's unnecessary and a joke! I could see if they were impact players, resulting in more wins...not the case at all!


In my town there has been one 8th grader that was pulled up to varsity in the last ten years. She was the first in off the bench and did well. She has started every game since 9th grade and is a major part of the teams success. If lucky enough maybe 2 8th graders will be called up to JV and thats it. Juniors on Varsity this year played JV last year and are D1 committed . The Juniors wait their turn and start on Varsity and are impact players.
