Curley being mentioned is hilarious. The “champs” lost to Spalding, Severn, and MSJ by a combined 40 goals last season. Apples and oranges.
That is the difference between teams that play with holdbacks and those who have none.
These are high schoolers. The holdback issue doesn’t apply.
Sure it doesn't.
I detest holdbacks at the youth level. If that is a worry for you in High School this might not be the sport for you and your daughter. It's 4 years worth of kids thrown to the wolves to sink or swim.
It's not a concern. This is just what happens when teams with mostly all holdbacks plays a team with slim to none at the HS level.
It's not a complaint. Its just an example.
I generally agree with you re: holdbacks, but I really don't think that's the deciding factor for a team like Curley. They lost to MSJ by 12 last year. I really doubt MSJ has many holdbacks, it any. Curley's squad just simply isn't as talented.
