Scoreboard Highlights
While we expected opening round blow-outs in the knock-out phase, did we really need to see 16-0, 16-0, and 18-0 scores posted by the Long Island teams? Yes, this is a "national championship" and much of this points to unbalanced competition even at a national level. Should these teams even be competing at a national tournament?
This ridiculous disparity highlights and probably legitimizes a criticim on the boys' thread about the Boiys' U15 tourney being a joke. Seems like the cut off should have been at 8 teams and it would have been a great tournament. What we've seen so far has been a huge waste of time.
