I know its only NEWSDAY, but i am sure its like this in any major lax area,,,but kids and parents do get a kick out of seeing their names in paper next day...wouldn't it be nice to credit defenders in blurbs about the games?
As previous poster mentioned, kids play selfish when they are looking to get name in paper next day.Sounds trivial, but for teenage boys/girls, its a big deal.
A mention of how well a defender played or how big a stop the defense made to win a game w/b a nice thing o see once in a a while.
Instead we get "Mary Jones led the scoring with 8 goals, ..or "Susie Smith had 4 goals and 3 assists".. |
