Most the teams playing have seniors playing. If your daughter's team isn't why not? That was a choice made by a parent of a younger player that probably wanted to make sure their daughter got playing time most likely. The tournament rules were clear and given to each school. So is your issue with the tournament directors or all the schools that invited seniors to play when yours did not? Like Reply Quote

Otherwise you would think they would just be happy the girls get to play after a crappy past 12 months. Just saying. Like Reply Quote

Showcase tourney with no college coaches. High schools want to win for bragging rights only. 21’s are the only ones that are guaranteed a college spot and others are playing club hoping to get one. Doesn’t make sense to me to force them to join a team in hopes in leads to more play time next season. Organizers are making a nice bonus though at $300 a kid ! Like Reply Quote

Re: Girls High School B_O_T_C #334728 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A Blah, blah, blah, blah. Stop the complaining and take the field. Like the previous poster said, if you don’t like the rules and format don’t play. Simple as that my fiends. Complaining gets you know where and doesn’t move the bar. Please stop the adolescent complaints. Some graduates are playing and that is a reality. You complaining won’t prevent them from playing. Just don’t come. Like Reply Quote
