@HPE_TDSB@tdsb Thank you for your leadership and support, athletics within the TDSB has such a positive impact on our student/athletes as well as our coaches! Wishing you all the best on your next chapter.
@BlairHenley Agreed, he was respectful and mature in an extremely unfair situation with huge consequences. Hopefully this tournament will see the need for replay and the official will publicly admit he was wrong. Felix you are a first class athlete!
@naialaxtea Agreed but to blowout a team like this shows 0 sportsmanship and leads to the end of programs. I am a HighSchool lacrosse coach, there are things you can work on as a team and not humiliate your opponent.
Karma has a long memory!
@naialaxtea Agreed, or one of the captains of the team, preferably one who knows the rules.
We should all take a page from rugby…this is the only contact sport I can think of where the officials still garner the level of respect they should.
@naialaxtea@Hawgwld16 Please remember that we are talking about student/athletes who will most likely never play professionally. That is a huge burden to rest a championship on the shoulders of one athlete.
@AppalachiaSky@naialaxtea I think those 2 stats go hand in hand, Madonna’s goalie played lights out in the first half. It was SCAD’s alumni weekend and Senior Day they had a lot to play for.
@naialaxtea The other thing that has to be considered is the budget, teams have to have deep pockets to head South, not to mention the ability to miss classes unless it is during Spring Break. How many of the Northern teams have indoor facilities?
@naialaxtea There would be a competitive edge for the teams that can practice outside, in similar weather conditions…year round! And having the ability to play through heat is an advantage also for the Southern teams. Let’s have the Nationals in Michigan to test this theory!
