Built around coaches daughter. Their top player gets lots of attention and midfield isn’t elite. I see 3 factors.

I love when people make a point of saying: “these people have families”
No coach should be on here nor should they be taking any of this palavering seriously. If they do, shame on them.

"liberal ways"? C'mon. Grow up.

At this age group, who is relevant on the island then?

As a parent with a player on this team what you have written is far from what she is experiencing. The team is senior heavy and there were high expectations that were not met but that is not all on the coaches. My player has felt valued and challenged and has continually mentioned that she is learning a lot. Spitting out venomous perceptions is not good for anyone. These are people with families that give up their time to coach (pay is nothing) and don't deserve to be slandered by anonymous posters on a forum that should be used to celebrate the accomplishments of our girls.

$350 and no tryouts. If your in the in crowd good for you but don’t think it’s the best players selected.

This weeks summery:
Maryland teams still too afraid to challenge Long Island in the World Series.
#NoHoldbacksAllowed

Madlax needs more holdbacks if they ever want to compete with Hawks again!

Thank You

My guess is Garrison. They relied on transfers and B players to lead instead of their returning top players. You must be one that got more play time than deserved while the coach didn’t fulfill her commitment to help the team improve. Wrecked the chemistry of the team and didn’t teach.

I'd put St. Joe's ahead of Garnet Valley since they beat them. Penncrest is better than Shanahan. Wissahickon has not exactly played murderer's row and lost to Methacton.

GFS?

What the heck are you talking about?
