Nahhh- forget that! Let's go to Maryland to slaughter some Massachusettes kids. That's probably better for the sport.


True Blue and Gladiators did just that last spring. Lax and some pizza. Played later in summer at Tri-lax (TB won) but there was, IMHO, a mutual respect between players and parents.


Blue did it once (and lost to Gladiators, ensuring that this would not occur again). I was suggesting the improbable; a weekly or bi-weekly set up involving 4 or 5 teams that would break through the stigma of ONE simple "loss", by one team or another. Just sharing a positive concept.
