Or the kid who shows up to practice, puts the time in and gets bumped for a bruiser (note the different helmets on the Express sideline). My boy plays 2022 and I want him to grow and absorb lessons that extend beyond lacrosse; lessons that are metaphors for life. Juicing a sixth grade line-up against teams that maintain ONE roster all season may rack up the W's but it is not doing the sport, or these kids, any favors in life. I would rather lose with integrity than win with an asterisk, but I seem to be in the minority around here.


Definitely not in the minority on this one. Well stated!
