I know many are happy to see Crush lose. They have nothing to be ashamed of, and fought a great game that could have gone either way. The bigger issue here is the cheating. All of the great top LI teams that play fair will have to deal with this. It is time to demand age regulation. Teams like Crush can still be competitive with the cheating holdbacks, but what about some of the other very good teams. Just not a true competition for either team. If you chose to play up, that is one thing, otherwise, it is not in the spirit of fair competition.Sad!
Please do not paint all of the Maryland teams with the Crabs brush. There are more teams that are age appropriate and enjoy good classy competition than there are teams that cheat to win. Unfortunately, the current #1 team in Maryland is generating the most noise. The legitimate teams in Maryland are not supportive of the Crab's model and we are also confident that most NY teams do not throw punches on the field and say profanities to their opponent while cross checking them. We are no fan of Crushes field tactics and behavior, but they should not have lost the Championship to a team that had boys who finished 8th grade last week. Aloha should be doing the right thing and awarding the Championship to Crush and disqualifying the Crabs.
