Hmm here's and interesting fact : Current Team USA roster . Littered with Ny, md , nj girls out of 25 players 1 mass ... now that's says a lot about Mass lacrosse ! How bout that ME. Trumpeter ...
Why is this so hard for you to understand. No one, or at least not me, is arguing that Mass lax as a whole is somehow better than NY/MD lax, just as our local sport, hockey, makes your kids look like ankle skaters (maybe u know what that is?). But the ME 2019 team, specifically the top 10-14 players, can go toe to toe with any team in their age group. Why does that bother you so much? Its a small group, unique to this age group. This is the 2019 thread. Seems ok.
I think the reason it bothers LI and MD parents is they have done nothing to earn that reputation. They could have played in any number of championship tournaments against the MD , Heroes, Skywalkers , YJ teams but have elected not to. Those teams have put it on the line against each other for years . In short just because you say they are means nothing they have to prove it .
Fair enough. And I agree. It frustrates us as well because we know our girls would be better for having played those teams all the time, win or lose. You have to remember that most of those tournaments are a solid 5-6 hour drive for us (8+ w summer traffic on Friday and Sunday nights) so it is not that simple. But your point is very true.
