I think the problem is with the parents. If all of the kids of a particular team are from the same town, they are a town team. If said team has the ability to compete at a high level in both town and travel tournaments, the boys should be applauded.

Stop pounding chest when your team wins and stop whining when your team loses. It's annoying and embarrassing.

Let the boys play and applaud both sides, regardless of the outcome.
