She is sitting on the bench unable to get in because an administrator within the district has a vendetta against her an her family. Instead they play an uncommitted 11th grader, with little or no varsity experience, and use the excuse that she is a transfer from another school. The statement that coaches will play the better girls is just a lie. That or this is the worst coach on Long Island

Where is this happening???
I could never mention what district this is happening in, The girl in question was threatened with expulsion from the team if, and I quote, she will be "Cut out like a cancer" if she , or her family, do anything the coach (or the administrator, or the administrators spouse) deem antagonistic. Needless to say she is very upset. Not that the coach or administrator cares. [/quote]

If this is true the family needs to take legal action
against the school- I have heard of
Some crazy school politics back stabbing but legally
this is a threat and the family has legal grounds
to take action [/quote]

Anyone else read Harlan Coben's new book The Stranger? It's a mystery thriller set in a fictitious affluent lacrosse town in NJ. Some of the characters in the book had to have been based on lacrosse parents in my town - or yours. Unfortunately, I even saw a little of myself in one mom.
