End of the day the MVP of the NCAA Championship game was a face off midfielder from Maryland and may I add not a carry the ball in the back of his stick guy or even a one knee guy. It has been said in face off circles "what was old is new again" so the traditionalists of the game can rest assured the face off midfielder must be able to pick up a ground ball. As for the IVY guy your really just a tool who has little or no concept of what wins or losses games at the college level and until your alleged IVY son plays in a D1 setting keep it down to a hush because the parents of the supposed IVY school will not want to hear your drivel in the stands.
He couldn't carry the ball in the back of his stick because it's illegal. Some days guys just don't match up well with their opponent at the X that's why it's important to have multiple players who can face off.
Great point, the MD fogo who beat Withers handily was actually the backup to the Northport kid, who didn't have a great year, just had a tough time, not that he's not good. There is just so much people don't understand about this position. It's extremely mental. Look at Baptiste who choked when his team needed him, and Ireland who was owned by Mackie. These fogos are all the heart of their teams, the way they play often is the difference of winning or losing. A lot of pressure for a young man. Please respect them win or lose, nobody on the team works harder! You should also know that there is a great deal of respect these young men have for each other, most of them are friends off the field and even practice together during the summer.
