Looks like legacy will have another shot at YJ Skak this weekend. Anyone predicting a much closer game this time around?
Only if they are flying in the the girls from M&D Black?
YJ is a solid team, and Legacy as any team would, hopes to play well against them, but expectations are realistic, but hopeful. The team hopes to improve in areas that they struggled last time. And if you want to measure yourself this is a good team to do it against. Not to be overlooked is the other teams they play. Not much is known of the Igloo team, and no one is expecting them to roll over.
This is the Legacy girls tryout for YJ. There are 2 that will probably playing for Skak next year. Keep an eye on who the top YJ girls are matched up agaisnt and you will know who they want.
YJ will likely bring in about 4 new players this year. Just like they did last year, just as they will do next year. At least 1 or 2 will be from lower YJ teams, and yes many of those girls are more talented than most other LI clubs top teams. That leaves room for a couple or few from other clubs. The new addition girls are always welcomed, fit right in and mostly do very well. The competition for spots is between the new girls trying out, and I know of many of the very top girls from nearly every team are trying out. Every girl in this age group is a known commodity at this point. If there already was a back room deal for the two that you are talking about, so be it. But I would be surprised because I know of several top girls from several clubs planning on trying out who are way ahead of what I saw on the field. There are extremely fast, high IQ girls already extremely polished that can make an instant impact who will be looking to try out too. Every team Skak played this weekend there was talk of look out for this girl and that, they will be trying out this year. The few best players interested were not even at this tournament this weekend. Who ever makes the team, I'm sure it will make the team better and the girls and parents will look forward to welcoming them in.
And guess what, this will equal more of the same! Beginning to think CR no longer cares about winning and being elite. Pulling up 2 non impact players and finding 2 on the outside will have no effect. Sorry but just calling it as I see it.
Would equal more of the same? The team would sign up for that. They don't need to do anything drastic at try outs to create whatever effect you are looking for. Only three teams in the nation have ever beaten this team, they are all top teams and we beat them too. It is an exchange of wins and losses among the top teams. The team plays in all the top brackets at the top tournaments. They play probably 15-20 games against the top 5 teams in the nation through out the summer season. I am surprised they don't have more losses over the years as you would expect an even exchange of wins and losses as the top teams mix it up.
My guess is you are on here crying that the sky is falling because you are either jealous or looking to create waves of change to better your daughters chances of making the roster. You seem to think this team is so far out of contention that only exchanging 4 players isn't enough to save this team. You think that insulting CR, saying CR no longer cares about winning and being elite will spark her into action to make massive roster changes to a team that only needs some small tweaking, just like every team, every year needs small tweaking. If your daughter is trying out, I hope she is good, I hope she does make it and helps improve the team, we are always looking to better the team. There is no need to bash the team, they are not perfect, they have lost a few games, as has all the other top teams. Only one team has lost fewer, M&D, believe me, the sky is not falling.
