Nothing worse then seeing someone score over 5 goals in a game and maybe have one assist and the team wins by 8-15 goals in a game. At the end of the year you see the kid with over 40 goals and a limited amount of assists but in the big games against the good teams they are either shut out or score very little in comparison. I understand the kids being selfish but the coaches should either pull their kids out or tell them to pass it to their teammates . Jus my opinion and I'm sure some will agree and many will disagree


Completely agree with your post. Not to take away from some really good players but it is a joke. What's worse is when you look at their teams weak schedule and see a player put up 8 goals, 6 goals, 5 goals. Then they play someone decent and he has none. They should post the players SOG also. That's where the real story is told. That being said it is high school lacrosse and you play who is in front of you. It sure does help when your head coach likes to pad his wins with a weak schedule.



Agreed. get your one or two goals and get out or practice passing. I like to hit the game by game stat and see if they score 2 to 3 goals per game against all competition.


Just look at the schedules some of these teams play. Tells the entire story. Conferences really need to be balanced better to avoid padded stats and better competition across the board. A few schools on there play really competitive non league games. Others look to beat up on weaker opponents. What does a weak schedule get you? One or two All County players with top stats, a coach that can keep his high winning percentage and a quick send home in the playoffs because you haven't been challanged enough.


So, can the 8th grader be an All-American as he is the stat leader?


Figure when playing good teams 2 goals 1 assist is probably the average and that's playing all game in which own team is getting beat and scoring against 2nds and thirds.
