It was never even a game last night, the goal that HHHE is credited was scored by WM goalie...

I am not saying that kids should get equal time and I am not saying the kids that played all game aren't deserving. They are clearly deserving of their play time. Just seems to me in a 17-1 game that was a blow out at the end of the first q, coach could have shown a little loyalty and respect to the team and let a few seniors play.

Say what you want about the catholics and their position to not move up freshman and sophs, but the system clearly is fair. On all of LI there are only a very small handful of Freshman that can actually contribute.

To stick some of them in with 8 minutes left in a blow out to run around while junior and senior kids that have been loyal to the program stand and watch is just sad.



To many coaches are always looking at the future. In my town the coaches never think the team is good enough so they are constantly preparing for the future by playing younger players over the upper classmen that are better and stronger than them and can help the team much more right now. The days of being loyal to the players are long over.


I agree do want to work with younger kids. Can't agree with you on better and stronger. In a district like WM bench goes deep. Coaches have them all year long because kids play with them in the summer, so there is plenty of time to develop. No excuses...WM like many districts have too much politicking and closed door deals to get kids playing time. So the bottom line is be loyal to players that have been with you for years in a 17-1 game!
