Last year there were two F/O kids taken. This year only one (very deserving). I find it interesting that the other kid was taken as a Middie even though he tried out for the F/O position but should not have made it in that position based on his performance. Every other Boys Roster has two F/O positions listed. What?
great player and fogo - it is like they have an extra roster spot by not taking two fogo's and haveing an excellent middie who while he maybe not be one of the top 2 fogo's on long island he is a top 5 - team is built to win
How do you try out for F/O and then make the team as a middie is my question. Would it be better for the team to carry 12 middies, and one F/O or 11 great middies and two elite F/Os? Just because someone makes the team last year, shouldn't guarantee a spot the next year by bumping someone else more deserving. The best at the TRYOUT should make the team. There are so many great FOGOS on LI that tried out thinking they would be picked fairly based on their PERFORMANCE. Every other region picked two FOGOS, LI should be the same. If the evaluators were from outside LI, it would be much more fair. Good luck to all the boys who made the team!
