Palm Beach Tournament - Girls Division

Here is another way of looking at it, if all the AHD players were attending the schools they are zoned for and playing for those teams this squad would not be undeafeated this year, and if you think otherwise, please save it, we are going to have to agree to disagree.

And if the queen had the hang down things she would be king, there are several public HS with as many starting (11 for your benifit) travel players as AHD.

I bet these schools you are referring to are NOT 2A schools. There is a big difference having a 6A schools (minimum of 2300 in high school) w/ 11 starters on travel teams and a 2A school (max of 453 in high school). You can't make that argument and have it fly. I would argue that any 2A school (or 3A school for that matter) that has 11 starters from traveling teams offers some form of financial assistance and finds way of getting that information out.

My arguement was that there are equal numbers of starting travel players on the 6A, 5A, 4A (the better teams) as the 2A so therefore they are not winning because they have more club players than the other schools. That was the point I was trying to make.

Maybe the kids go there because they have the chance of a better education than at the public schools, is that not why private schools exist and the parents pony up the money.

I disagree w/ this statement. There are several 5A & 6A schools who have so many travel players that many end up on JV. To say that they have the same number of travel players as most 2A schools is nuts.

They have the same number as the top level 2A schools which is why those 2A schools can compete w/ the bigger schools.

Alright then you are helping me prove my point, 5A and 6A have as many or more travel players than the little 2A schools, so the playing field is somewhat level. If anything with more travel players to choose from then the 5A and 6A schools should have the advantage, that has been my point all along, they can pick the cream of the crop and put the rest of the travel players on JV.

As I predicted, you will never ever get it, so lets just agree to disagree. By the way, I am definitely not alone in this opinion, just about everyone I have spoken to about this feels the same way. That's OK though, you just go right on "thinking" that the team would be just as good without all the "recruits/imports", we all make mistakes and you are certainly entitled to yours. Long live the QUEEN!!!!!!!

I will not agree with you on anything, your an outsider looking in you do not know what goes on, you listen to the negative rumors and thrive off those, probably you live your life that way.

Outsider, insider my ***, you have no idea just how close I am to this team and it's Delray/TB parents, Delray/TB players, Renegades coach, and even their controversial, TB hating trainer from the Red Hots, so please don't make fool of yourself, what I am stating is all first hand knowledge, not "rumors" everyone knows the facts (except you). Like I said, just read the thread, or better yet, just sample a few opinions on the subject around the HS soccer community, you’ll see that I am certainly not the only one with this perspective on the plain truth here. I will say it again, the team would not only be a shadow of itself without the imports/recruits, but some of it's opponents on the field would be stronger with those players that have been "recruited" away, simple. OBTW, since you won't agree with me on anything and all I wanted was to agree to disagree with you, does that mean that you actually agree with me :?: :?: :?:
