Coach Rose has pull with anything girls lacrosse. She has done an amazing job promoting it and runs a top girls lacrosse travel program. She wins at all levels. Girls playing this weekend are alumni of both her Hs and her travel program. This year she might win in HS but even she would admit it’s a down year for Northport. Lock off the Duke commit and who scores? All the posts on this site about disproportionate point hoarding should start here. Great shooter & goal scorer off a free position but she’s not a great player.
Coach Rose should have no problem acknowledging all the talent in other towns, she has most of them playing in her travel program. So while her Northport team might not win, how many YJ girls will make the UA teams? She still wins. Hence Pull.
Lacrosse is very much about who you know and has very little to do with amount of skill and what you know. It’s unfortunate but that’s how it is.
Really, I think all the D1 commits have plenty of skill? It also helps if you play for an organization that promotes itself as being one of the top organizations, and then produces some of the top players in the country. Doing something right
The two leader Tewaaraton nominees, Scane and North come from non-hotbeds and did not play for a big name club. Go figure?
