Someone he is not allowed to play for Looneys in the spring. I assume Looneys needed the win to make sure they can make playoffs.
Game should be a forfeit as anyone who has played high school can not play this league per their own rules. The player has played the whole high school season with his Florida team. The team they played should pay the 50.00 protest fee and have the game forfeited. It is getting ridiculous that Howad county is ignoring ALL of their own rules and pandering to certain teams. Look it up-it is very clearly written. Shameful as Crabs. Shame on HoCo.
Ok, how many holdbacks does your sons team have? It really isn't none of your business. I'm not associated with Crabs or the team with the FOGO from Fl., but I'm not butting in and yelling like you are. Let the kids play. You should just mind your own business and STFU.
The rules are the rules. Holdbacks have nothing to do with this particular rule. You cheat; you forfeit. The rules are very clear and it was done knowing the rule as published to ALL the teams. This league is a sham. How do you know...maybe I am with Looneys...maybe with Crabs and maybe not either but sick of teams doing whatever they want regardless of rules. Hard to believe with your fury that you are not a Looneys parent who got caught. The nonsense needs to end, have some sportsmanship and follow the rules.
Wrong, I am not with Looney's, never have been. My fury comes from people on this board who are not associated with either team involved and yet yell and scream forfeit. Look, the holdbacks are also breaking the true rule/guideline of HOCO and every team in 2020 elite has, to some extent, holdbacks. Maybe not as many as Crabs but they have them. So you are saying its ok to violate the true/intended guideline on grade but not on this. This player is a kid, in the 8th grade yet good enough to play on his varsity school team. So lets go after him and his team and make them forfeit the game. Don't you have better things to do than this. I do know from a reliable source than this kid won't be going to school in Florida this fall, he will be going to McDonogh, so now find something to yell about that.
I assume you're a parent and not some kid posting. So assuming you are an adult, you should know what it means to have things like integrity and character. This isn't an indeitment of the kid, but the coaches first and foremost followed by the parents.
Rules are rules, and in this case fairly black and white. Whether he is good enough to play varsity is completely irrelevant. What's lost in this current cesspool of youth lacrosse are the things parents and coaches pretend to espouse as values. We're building men of character, values blah blah blah. [lacrosse]. You're enabling kids to say it's ok to bend every rule possible or simply break them to get ahead. Well done. And America wonders why kids these days don't emulate previous generations that made this country great. It starts with people like you.
