it is impossible to do a tryout with unbiased evaluators - anybody that is in the long island lacrosse community is at most two degrees of separation away from every kid on the field. No way to avoid it, understanding that, it is impossible to explain to a kid that was in the final game that not only was not selected for the team or as an alternate but kids not making the final game where on the list as alternates. It was just clumsy on their part and really means nothing unless one of those kids winds up on the teams.
