No doubt, there are some amazing and well deserved players who played on the squad. And at the same time, there are some definite head scratchers along with a few who have never truly performed at a high level but seem to be "entitled" to making this team time for one reason or another. Its all good though, as the best mindset is for the majority of kids to treat this as a "look" and not to worry about getting selected due to the politics.

Which players do you feel are "entitled" who made the team. Just trying to understand the process. I have heard or seen most of these kids names from watching and reading about MIAA lacrosse this spring. There are a few names that are new to me.


Of course there are some head scratches. Many top MIAA players this year are on the team., even if they dont have a great tryout, everyone knows their talent.

If you think this is a true tryout , it isnt. It is a tryout for a few spots only. Most of players talent is already known by coaches from school and club. No big deal. You still have a shot, just a small one if you are not known. If you are known, a much better shot.
