I would agree question marks on the Highlight team selection. Were tryout numbers low again this year? It seems like a lot of the better players are not on the list. Maybe they did not tryout?

she made the team. have to get the younger one on the team now.

No numbers weren’t low about normal for Highlight which is always been lower then Command historically. Some girls stop trying once they don’t make Command twice. %80 of the roster are the top players in the region. I really can’t think of a single player that’s not on the roster that would be a automatic make. As long as they don’t over play the token players should make a strong run at the chip.

Roland Park has all of that talent and they still couldn’t t pull it together this year.
Just go to show that you pick a school for academics and not sports.
I know a bunch of girls playing who choose to go to an unarmed school and none made varsity junior year. So they were like ships passing in the night with siblings going to other privates, commuting all over the beltway, driving past other great privates to not make the team and said private.
But it’s all worth it in the end, I hope?

Makes sense about the overall numbers.I can think of a few other girls that would have been stronger additions. Seems very mid heavy which is usually the case. Problem in years past that some of those mid were not strong on the defensive side of the ball. LI and Conny exposed that over and over. Wish these girls the best.

What lacrosse talent are you talking about. They have one and she is going to Vanderbilt. They need to join MDS, Gerstell, and JC and go down the the B conference.

Did some of the talent go with American Select instead this summer?

Respectfully disagree, she had 20 ish D1 offers so can’t be as you described. Is she a showboat? Yes but that is the mercy culture

The sophomore attacker is best player on team by a lot and will go to a top 10 program in a few years. Nice kid too.

Some solid players were at the 25 tryout. Haven't seen the final rosters yet (looks like an A and B team were made for AS) so can't say for sure how good the talent ends up being (that said, I don't see any overlapping names on the UA Roster from the AS tryout - though I'm sure there could be a couple).

Sorry but they have nobody going to a top 10 team. Hope your not talking about the short blonde.

I know you heard she had those offers but I can assure you that she did not. She took the first offer and that was TU. Look, we played against her club team many times. She is what I described. No left and rarely shoots with her left. Always runs to her right, shoots across the goalies face, and hopes it goes in. Easy to defend. As a matter of fact we didn’t really defend her because she was a non factor. She is good at the B level. But would have been on A conference teams bench as a senior.

Nope, tall attacker.

Setting records for mercy and is an amazing player

She did not get 20ish D1 offers, you are fooling yourself and are beyond ridiculous to think people would even think that it's true. Come on.

For the 2025s, UA seemed to have a little less girls as more stayed with AS because of having two teams this year.

I now know that you don’t have a clue about A conference talent or lacrosse in general. Your amazing and mine are polar opposite. Amazing player for Mercy is not at the same level as the A conference level top tier teams. Two different kinds of amazing. I watched the finals the other night and I know who you are talking about, and she is definitely a bench player on the top A teams. She did a lot of standing around and waited for someone to pass her the ball so that she could shoot.
