Not sure why the detest for McD either but let’s be clear about 3 things:
1) it certainly wasn’t a useless tournament to the girls
2) if you think it useless, then why ever play any tournaments, with your logic games don’t matter then either
3) This is usleful if you care about rankings for Maryland teams. This is the only games the teams will play between states for their high school. Therefore it helps all Maryland teams with national rankings which is also important to the players (clearly not to you of course because it is clear that your comment is literally about taking success away from the girls that work hard win or lose)
To close, just let them have their kudos on a great winning weekend. As I am sure you can’t possibly run up and down a field once let alone for 4 straight hours of games and playoffs.
