Just witnessed a group of Hawks parents whining about the Black-Ops Team being made up of 5 different teams. These were the same parents making fun of this team back in the early Fall and on this board. Stay Classy Hawks Parents your kids are listening.
The Hawks parents have a valid point about Black Ops being an all star team. But Black Ops still was the weakest of the four semifinal teams, and the Hawks couldn't beat them. Plus, the Hawks had two other losses within the past week, and their offense relies more on one player than any top team. (except Tigers). So it is not like they were robbed of a WSYL title that they would/could/should have won. As many have said for years, without holdbacks, the 2026 Hawks are solid but nothing special.
Black Ops was not an All Star team.
Ok, a team formed specifically for the wsyl.
Of course it was. The 3 main clubs got together to form BlackOps cause they either had too many holdbacks (BLC) or not enough talent (VLC/NL) to compete. Then a few Dads went out and recruited from a few more smaller clubs to fill out the roster. That’s just the facts. DCE will use it to recruit those kids over as they form the 26 Team, hence why it was coached by the DCE coach.
Now, can they pull it off or not? Who knows? Is DCE 26 only going to take BlackOps kids (ie on-age)? Lots to watch and see how the politics and biz of youth sports play out.
