Many of you simply don't get it. Scoring goals is a good thing but it is not the only thing.

GB's, CT, Saves, assists, DC, etc... Are all just as important.

Turnovers , poor decision, selfish play, lack of hustle, lack of communication , missed slides, being out of position, getting in the way of teammates etc... All have a negative impact on the team but many parents don't see any of it (bad coaches miss it too).

Since most HS teams are extremely weak and have very few strong athletes it is easy for girls to pad their stats if the coach allows it.

As another person pointed out, Girls HS Lacrosse is meaningless and irrelevant. That is until you get to the county finals or at least the final four. And it is rare that the teams with selfish stat padding players will make it that far.

Two truths: Defense wins championships and selfish players will always hurt their team.

Very sad but the meaning of "One more" has changed.
