You’re not fooling anybody with that statement. My daughter is not on the team but I applaud the kids that made it. I guarantee if your kid was selected, you would not have made that derogatory statement. For those that make these negative statements, you are telling us that your kid wasn’t selected and you are envious of those that made it. All selection processes are flawed, but it is what it is.

The top A conference teams schedule out of conference quality teams. Mercy is not a quality team or competitive team. So they played in a play day. You are joking right. A play day is for everyone to play. when you brag about a play day win, that proves that you are a bad team. Trust me, McD, SP, BM, NDP, GCS are not scared of Mercy and their JV style of play. Mercy is not worth their time. Beating Mercy by 20, and using their bench players for the majority of the game, is worthless. I would suggest that Mercy schedule games with the top 6 A conference JV teams. Mercy already lost to three of the bottom A teams. Enough said about Mercy. Stop making us laugh about Mercy beating the top dogs.

Stop it. Play days don’t count and you played the bottom 4 teams losing to 3 and Gerstell doesn’t belong in A. They should actually think about C. No jv. Only 14 on varsity and kids that wanna play lax won’t go there to go 0-13 in A conference. That is the spot Mercy wants ?

Look Mercy mom/dad, every top 25 team in the country wants to play our top A conference teams. That is who the top A will schedule…not a JV style Mercy team. All you have to do is look at the 2022 B conference championship game. Mercy cannot beat the top teams JV teams,…no joke. Stop dreaming. No one wants to play them because there is no benefit to beat a team by 25. Plus, those teams play the top teams in the country every year…and you say they are afraid of Mercy! If they schedule public teams in the area they will schedule Century, Glenelg High, Hereford, Severna Park, Broadneck. They will not schedule Mercy because it is not competitive to the bench players, let alone the starters. Plus Mercy players will get their feelings hurt, and we don’t want to see that stuff.

Combine the B and C conference and move 4 A teams down. That’s the solution.

And Good Counsel played their bench more than their starters that game after they just scrimmaged McDonogh and had a game that Monday. Beating Mercy in a scrimmage wasn't our #1 priority that day.

Are you referencing UA? Flawed is an understatement and for some reason every thinks its legit. Years ago, a player wasn't even on the callback for her region, but somehow made the team? HMMM. Now there are players making the Sr team that weren't even on the UA watchlist, how does that work? Has nothing to do with envy, not even close.

It is envy. If your kid made it you wouldn’t be complaining. Seems like the only ones that are complaining are the parents whose kids didn’t make the team. My kid didn’t make it but I am not complaining. She is going to play for a good school next year and we are happy. Your kid is also going to play for a good school, so give thanks and move on. Stop the negatives about unfairness and watchlists comments.

How about jealous. Is that a better word? Pick one of them because it describes you. Guarantee if your child was selected you wouldn’t be on here complaining. That is a guarantee.

forget the watchlist, there is a kid who has never made an UA team in 4 years playing in the senior game..

As long as Hammerhead's kid is on the list I am good

Cleary wasn't a priority to win at all, all season...

The UA games is not a big qualifier. Total body of work is heavily weighted. There are kids that intentionally didn’t tryout for UA Underclass games. Doesn’t mean that they aren’t good players.

And she doesn't deserve to be there?

Who is “she”? What school?
