“They all deserve congrats! And yes, 9 may be YJ, but 7 are from Suffolk schools and 2 are from GC - both areas whose talented lax players frequently play for YJ rather than another club.”

Good observation, parents of younger players below 9th grade
see this. The new phenomena developing is that parents of average to mediocre athletes see this "model" of club lax girls getting recognition and going to good colleges. So these parents push there 6 and 7th grader into club lacrosse and try and kiss the right "butts" . So now you have lots of mediocre athletes cramming these clubs, in particular 6th and 7th grades.
