Rising Sons are an " AA" team, if they are placed elsewhere it is strictly a political thing either on their part or the league.
Yes, they belong there - think the conversation was about the teams that want to play the highest level along with them but are not ready . crabs, hawks, 91 force, FCA white, Looneys and rising sons are of a different level than the other 2020 teams and all have had close challenging games with one another and belong in their own division. Other teams are afraid of getting bumped from that division now that rising sons is coming-in reality they were never playing in that group and should not be.
If that holds up it will be an incredible 6 team league. Would love to see Crush and LI X pop in for a few "non-conference" games. Wouldnt be surprised to see a few of the known early recruiting schools on the sidelines of these games...
Define elite. You need 5-7 hold backs to qualify. The days of running thru the middle are over. If it's the six they are talking about then this is how it goes in order. Crabs 5-0 Looneys 3-2 Hawks 3-2 Fca blue 3-2 Rising sons 2-3 91 2-3
As to the point above about not running down the middle and shooting, two of these teams need to bring more discipline to their game if they hope to stay top 6 in the region. In particular, defenders and goalies running down the field trying to score when they have open offensive players. Be different story if the "play" worked but more often then not, selfish play like this costs the team and they are old enough that the coaches need to shut down this kind of play-it will gets worse in high school if not controlled now.
