This is the beauty of the process. Anything can happen in a couple of hours. The evaluators are supposed to be blind to past performance and supposed reputation should mean nothing. Otherwise why have a tryout. Maybe your son's team goalie wasn't feeling well or didn't have a great couple of hours. Conversely another kid maybe played over his head "caddy shack-like" for a couple of hours and had the tryout of his life. Trust the process unless you have concrete proof otherwise. If you have proof that something is wrong send Sage an email and coordinate with him to investigate. I know in the high school division there were some surprises too but hardly any flukes - just kids that played better than other kids with better reputations for the duration of the tryout. Thats life and that's how it works, nothing more than that. Maybe johnny who didnt make it is taking things for granted and getting a little complacent from daddy, his coaches and his friends always telling him how wonderful he is and other kids who are hungrier have worked harder and passed him by. Congrats to all who made it.
