The problem with lax is 100 kids show up and 90% can play.....Say what you want, but you have to have skill to get on that team. Older sons have gone through this before.


If Lax is so tough, why do they keep losing to town teams that have a total of 300-400 boys in the entire HS? These town teams have 40 kids show up to tryouts to field a team from. They should be beating these teams by 10 with the second line. How come they routinely duck MIAA teams, year in and year out? Not bashing the team, just pointing out that the stories just don't match the results on the field.
