US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums MID-ATLANTIC LACROSSE MARYLAND FORUM Girls 2029 Grads - Mid Atlantic Region

You can’t count out 91. We played two close games against M&D and Heros. Not a top 10 team??? We can compete with anybody and will take on any competition unlike other teams.

The rankings is just an algorithm. If you read how it works, the math works out (https://www.USCL.com/faq).
Is it accurate? Not really. But it does give you good idea of who the best teams are. When the pretenders do play the contenders, that's when the teams with inflated rankings get exposed.

There's no 2030 thread on this board so I am going to post this here in hopes the SOMEONE in admin at Hero's see this. Your 30 Green team has a defender on the team who is the dirtiest player I've ever seen. She is constantly shoving and holding girls which i "guess" could be considered aggressive play. But for the past two tournaments she has full swing as hard as she can smacked opponents across the face with her stick. Not even going for the ball just swing across and hit their face as hard as she could. And before anyone doubts this the opposing team records all of their games so it's there for all to see. And what do the Hero's 30'coaches do when this player red cards out of a game for smacking a player hands shoving her and then hitting someone across the face 2x all while setting up on the draw circle ?? The female coach pats her on the back & comforts her instead of reprimanding her and the male coach goes and gets her a water . She should've been expelled from the tournament & sent home !!!!! SHAME SHAME SHAME on you Heros coaches. And the Heros coach was shown a video of her smacking a player across the face from the same opposing team last week at Live Love Lax by the person she hit's mom. Not going for the bad just running up & smacking her across the face as hard as she could. He was all apologies then but actions speak way louder than words!!!!! Hey Heros 30 green coaches - you must just want to win that bad. This player is darn near assault. Heros you're this self proclaimed "premiere club" then you should do something about this situation since your 30 coaches won't.

Can you go pump your chest on your NY board? Nobody here cares.

91 went 1-4 and didn't make the playoffs last weekend, losing to M&D, Hero's & Coppermine by a combined 10 goals. Very good team, but not Top 10. Also, all the teams in the Top 10 play the same if not tougher comp. than you, so who are you trying to call out for ducking competition?

You could simply go to Hero's website and contact their director and 2023 coaches.

YJ. He/she is bringing their fued to the wrong forum. Constant argument over who plays tough competition. Yet neither of them play the same competition week in and week out as Heros, M&D and Coppermine. Only team out of the state who does is NXT and kudos to them.

Agreed. If the coaches won't do something about it, contact the director, Tierney Ahearn. I'm a hero's parent and this kind of behavior should not be tolerated.

Weird. Why don't they play each other considering they're both LI teams? Part of the reason Hero's, M&D & Copp are so good is that they play each other over and over again. Iron sharpens iron.

Anyone who has been around the HG 2030 coaches and players and parents know they are very toxic, and that kind of behavior has been going on for years, starts at the top when they didn't fire the male coach for calling 4th grade girls "garbage & classless" for simply trying to kill the clock.

This is known Heros behavior - nothing new unfortunately....instead of putting it on an anonymous forum, it needs to be directed to Heros personally. I don't care what age these girls are, if they aren't taught now that this is not OK, it will continue to happen. Typically a RED card is no play in the next tournament (yes, It's like that in College but also used to be a rule in Club).

#60 is the Heros Green 2030 player who will eventually hurt someone in her frequent battles with rage on the field. Please be aware of this player if you will be playing this team…..the video is hard to watch.

What number is the player?

IS video on youtube?

Always the helmet kids....

Easy keyboard Karen. You’re certainly allowed to voice your opinion but why not actually take action instead of hiding behind words on a forum for anonymous users? If you’re so passionate about this - go speak to the coach(es), program director, tournament director…

You’re an adult. Never bring attention to a single child regardless of their actions. Imagine if your child was being called out on an anonymously submitted forum. Have some decency. Remember: these girls are not professionals and are still learning a sport they love to play.

Vid?

it's not on youtube and shouldn't be but M&D records their games and all of their parents have clips of two middies being smacked across the face at Live Love Lax and L4TC. There's no need to put someone's number on here and identify them but they should absolutely send it to Heros admin and just bypass the 30 coaches. A previous poster is correct - someone is going to get hurt

You sound like the type of helicopter mom that is ruining this sport. You are on an online forum trying to dox a 12 year old girl instead of taking your complaint through to the proper channel. Get a life Karen.

I was actually watching this game and happened to see the play that this woman is referencing. The M&D player took the first cheapshot at the Hero's player and then there was an unfortunate reaction to being hit that no one is condoning. The M&D player even got a yellow card for the play but you don't hear this mom bringing that up in her post. The players even shook hands afterwards. At the end of the day, lacrosse can be physical and no one should be intentionally hurting anyone on the field but to get on an internet forum and try to go after a young girl and put her number out there for everyone to see is pathetic. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Hey lady,

Take a lap.

Sincerely,

Everyone

Hey lady,

Take a lap.

Sincerely,

Everyone

let's go back to 29's

Sorry, anyone who was at this game or has seen the video knows the helmeted player instigated the incident not the girl who was defending herself. People like you are what we call enablers…the helmeted girl needs to be sat down for multiple games or dismissed from the team. Yet the coaches seem indifferent to what just occurred. Isn’t it convenient that the girl who is striking the other player in the head and face is secure in the safety of her helmet. I wonder if your opinion would change if the girl who was struck required stitches or was left with a nasty scar on her face.

Yet we’re more worried because someone used her number. Everyone who was there saw her, saw her coaches and saw her number please.

Off the lacrosse field this would be called assault

Why doesn’t this person start a new thread for the 2030s so we can get back to talking about how over rated team 91 is

This type of behavior and actions shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone. This is how Hero’s condones their play. They are dirty and their parents are classless. Nothing changes with them.

Says the woman garbage talking other people she doesn’t even know on an internet forum. Class class class.

this is false and videos don't lie!!!! I was at that game too. The pink player was already standing on the draw circle and the white player came and stood right in front of her. Not to her left, not to her right but right in front of her. Both players shoved on the circle although white shoved first. They would've and should've both gotten yellow cards which the pink player did. But after shoving the white player smacked the pink girl across her left cheek and then cocked back and smacked her AGAIN - an
actual second time - across her right side of her face warranting a red card. No one did anything to her. There was no cheap shot. The video is indisputable

Again - has this been sent to Hero's? Yes, they ARE known to play like this - my daughter and her teammates have been on the receiving end many years ago and for the parents - pathetic is not the right word. Yes, this child is learning at this age - but if her coaches are condoning it, that is a bigger problem. If she got a red card, she should be sitting out the next game (that USED to be the rules in the past). In college, if you get a red, you can not play the next game - these girls have to be taught the RIGHT way.

were you able to get a hold of Heros director? wonder what she will do about this

This is the second time in the past few weeks that specific children have been called out on this 2029 thread. If you’re hiding behind your keyboard as anonymous and calling out children - you’re a coward. Absolutely pathetic.

Not even a 29 player or issue. BOTC needs to start a 2030 thread so they can take their fight somewhere else.

Does it matter that the player is not a 2029 player? You only want to read things that relate directly to you? Don't read it if you aren't interested in it. The original person stated that there is no 2030 forum therefore they brought it here - right or wrong.

Missed the point. Previous poster was calling out the 2029 thread for mentioning a player, again. While I agree it is wrong, this parent calling out a player isn't even from the mid Atlantic and is calling out a kid from a different age group. Don't lump them in with the 29s. Separate issue that needs addressed on the correct forum.

There is no other forum, there is no 2030 girls forum, what don't you understand about that?

Why does it matter and bother you so much that it's not the "correct forum"?

It bothers me you keep posting here and nobody cares.

Has a flagrant foul on the sports field ever resulted in assault charges?

You called it! Rankings were updated and they’re still 2nd 😂
