YJ wont waste their time playing Long Island Club teams
Not true, YJs lose to Long Island Club teams. Again, such arrogance.
The perception of wasting time is different from a discussion of wins/losses.
That fact is that the Yellow Jackets believe at the most senior levels in the organization that the other Long Island franchises actually "duck" their competitions. Now, you can agree or disagree with that assessment however BOTC has heard the quotes first hand.
That said, the bottom line is that as much as one might attack the Yellow Jackets for not attending the other club tournaments on Long Island, the fact is that the Yellow Jackets are the biggest girls game in town and the other clubs need to chase them down in competition and beat them in order to change the landscape.
It is our belief that clubs like the Top Guns and Liberty to name two should be attending events like the Elite College Showcase and other Yellow Jackets events. Until those clubs make the first move, you will not see any chance in the competitive landscape.
I agree with you when you say until you knock off the champ, you can't call yourself the champ. And the YJ Blue teams consistently win, it's that simple.
But perhaps YJ events are avoided by other Long Island clubs because people are tired of the way the YJs handle themselves on and off the field? You think Carol Rose wished Shannon Smith (a YJ alumn) good luck when Shannon formed Top Guns?
Also, YJ Blue teams are terrific. Gold and Green teams are not close to the level of Blue.
