The WYSL - Team 91 issue is different for the championship game. If it's true that one kid did not get in until less than five minutes to go in a blow out, that is a crappy statement to make for respect of the team concept and sacrifices families made in a fairly short window to attend.

The game was not close after the first eight minutes. Everyone there DVRed or watched the game on the ESPN app/site, but those kids had no chance for that moment of having their name called or seeing their image on TV. How many 13/14 year old lax players have the opportunity to be on TV? How many of those players will play D1 in a game that will make a national broadcast? Would two or three changes of possession have made that much difference in the outcome of the game - maybe it's 15-9 instead.
