Why is nobody talking about the IL indoor event on the weekend of the 9th. The top 32 teams as ranked by IL squaring off in what is the closest thing to a girls national championship as we have ever seen. Am I the only one that thinks this. Old develop into something big.
Nice tournament and good idea, but clearly not a national championship. It is indoor and not all top teams are playing (see Summit, Ridgewood, others). Still a good idea.
ok, serious? because Jersey teams arent there? They took the final rankings from the 2016 season and invited all those teams to bring there best players to a tournament close to Jersey. If the schools, coaches or players decided not to attend thats a forfeit of there ranking spot. It seems to me the organizers allowed those teams that gave up, or couldn't find enough commited players to then take players from other schools to fill in rosters. And lets be frank about this, it's not like the N.J. teams are really going to beat the likes of Mc Donogh, Manhasset, or Garden City. Walton (Ga.) St Anthony's (NY) and Westwood (Mass) are also no going but that is on each school so because your region doesn't send a team doesn't make it "not real" the only thing "not real" is your reigons commitment to finding out who is the best. I mean look at Mass. elite complaining how they should be considered top 5 club but not sending there only top ranked team to this event to prove it. And Mass parents , don't complain about the distance, Novato California is sending a team. Most of the top H.S. teams are sending teams if yours isn't you don't get to complain you should have sent a team. This silly sentament that its only 7v7 is also ridicules wether you put your best 12 or best 7 on the field makes little difference you still play your best so in the end it my best against your best. These girls are top athletes and will play to win, this should be fun
and last time I check (look at laxpower dope) Summit beat the two LI teams they played last year - Eastport South-Manor and Smithtown West. I know, I know no NJs teams can play with anybody on LI according to you. Again, nice tournament but no indoor 7-7 has anything to do with a national championship. Just in your crazy parent eyes.
Lets be real about this, you jersey people are boasting about 2 wins but fail to mention that they lost to st. stephens who will be attending, but those are the only 3 games your top teams played all year outside of N.J. and its not like you beat either team handily you beat E.S.M. by 1 and smith west by 4. just for the record G.C. beat E.S.M. by 4 and Darien (#8) by 8. You Jersyites can call me a dope all you want, and some of your teams seem to be competitive, but until either you H.S. teams start playing a more competitive out of state schedule where they are beating top teams frequently, or at least put together a club team that is competitive with L.I and MD. we will never really know. Either way for you to try to delegitimize any event because YOU did not send your top team makes you the dope. Lets be honest until someone beats Mcdonogh they are the best, but what we know for sure is that it will not be a team from NJ this year. Send a team or shut up
