I've been noticing some announcements around All District for 6A. Is there some central VHSL page that shows all the District/Conference/Region whatever for VA schools?
That would make too much sense for the VHSL to do that. Instead, you have to scour Twitter for high schools to post their own announcements. Or hope someone on here posts all of them (or even some of them).down_the_alley wrote: ↑Wed May 08, 2019 11:14 am I've been noticing some announcements around All District for 6A.

Pathetic. These are kids, this is their time.. What the heck is wrong with you?
The players are nominated by and voted on by THE CONCORDE CONFERENCE coaches. If you have issues with the list, contact the coaches and let the kids enjoy their moment. This season will be the last for most of the kids who are graduating. Consider the time and effort put into a youth/high school career by the players and their parents. Very few will move on to college lacrosse.sguy wrote: ↑Thu May 09, 2019 12:21 pmPathetic. These are kids, this is their time.. What the heck is wrong with you?
I don't give 2 shnits where they are from Loudoun, Fairfax or RVA. Don't be such an a$$ let them enjoy accolades. For a lot of these kids they will go college and not play lax.
Just posted Concords list because that's all I have. Would gladly post all the divisions. These kids have spent years preparing to play in hs. They deserve some love if justified. And yes there are GREAT kids that did not make the lists.
They are not all LSMs, they are a collection of defensive middies, long stick middies and fogos. Park is the fogo for Chantilly for example. I believe the Concord is the only district to do this to help represent players who add true value to their team, but fall through the cracks because of a statistical need from the other positions. Had any of these other players been a guy such as Nick Rowlett from Robinson last year who did more than just faceoff, they would have put them in the Midfield category.
Park from Chantilly and DeSouza from Oakton are both FOGOs, not LSMs.Doid23 wrote: ↑Thu May 09, 2019 1:46 pm To be clear, I am not commenting on whether a kid is worthy or not, haven't seen a game, just follow on the internet. I agree LSM should be a separate position, just strange to see so many of them.
It is weird that they don't have a category for FOGO, given how specialized the position has become, and how important it is to the game.
Look mom, not all kids are great players. Matter of fact, most aren't, and quite frankly don't come close to being great players.sguy wrote: ↑Thu May 09, 2019 12:21 pmPathetic. These are kids, this is their time.. What the heck is wrong with you?

I'm assuming you're a mom because of your "everybody's a great player" sentiment. It's very mom-ish.sguy wrote: ↑Thu May 09, 2019 3:18 pm mylongstick
Sad, you sound educated. But I am perplexed as to why my gender is of importance here.
THIS particular list was the collaborative effort of 5 coaches representing over 200 kids. Each coach goes into the meeting fighting for players who they deem are "Great" contributors to their teams. Each year, they leave the meeting irritated that they could not get more their players recognized. Its how the system works. So they do have kids that are in fact great contributors to their teams who go without recognition. The fact that you need to twist that statement into a "participation award" is just trolling.
The fact that you can't acknowledge that kids can be great players EVEN if they are not on this list is just weird. There are boys being recruited to play in college that are not on the list.MyLongStick wrote: ↑Thu May 09, 2019 3:38 pmI'm assuming you're a mom because of your "everybody's a great player" sentiment.

Great contributor doesnt equate to great player.
Kids can practice and play hard, be coachabe and have great attitudes. Maybe play "out of position and not complain. All great contributions to the team.
.
But it doesn't magically make them great players.
Usually parents like you never played a sport at the collegiate level, or higher. Your idea of "great" is seriously out of whack because you strapped it up against Johnny from down the block.sguy wrote: ↑Thu May 09, 2019 3:18 pm mylongstick
