I had a chance to watch the Legacy vs Laxachusetts final over the weekend. It was a great game and I was impressed with the level of play. Something that was obvious was the size difference of the players with the Boston group being much larger.
Also as a bystander I overheard several parents from Laxachusetts talk about how several of their players are playing down. Match those comments with the several equipment bags in their group having 2019 printed on them and you can certainly draw a not so shining conclusion on the sportsmanship of this club.
Regardless the Legacy team was victorious in the championship despite the size and maturity difference. Well Done Legacy!
There are a number of kids on that 2020 Laxachusetts team that played for the 2019 team last year. Surprisingly, they aren't the biggest kids on that squad. My friend's son is on one of the 2020 teams (not black) and he pointed out the former 2019 players to me. That's not to say that some of those big kids weren't early holdbacks...would be great to institute an age cut off once and for all! FYI, there's also a 16 year old on their 2019 black team!
