State Cup Results?

Dehydration

<<What ages? I know one GU14 FH player was dehydrated, but she left in her family car; I saw her as we left after the game and had spoken with her mother at half time. I did not see an ambulance at our game.

EDIT-My daughter just told me that FH GU14 was playing down at the end because three players were sitting out (had actually left?) due to the heat beyond the original one who left first at half time. It was brutal.>>

Dear God! Has anyone heard of GATORADE!?! GATORADE AND WATER MIXED TOGETHER!?! This could have been a disaster for these young women. THREE dehydrated players from one team?!? Has this team not been educated about the importance of hydration? I didn't see any other teams at the State Cup with this problem. If this team did indeed have to play down by 3 players due to dehydration, then someone needs to educate these players, their parents and their club about the necessity of pre-hydration and hydration throughout the game.
Best wishes to the girls for a speedy recovery. Thank goodness you are okay.

Re: Stars

Does anyone know how many of the Stars' numerous goals yesterday were scored by the player who dropped down from the Stars' U15 team? That team must be missing her this weekend!

great question. that team was already stacked and now they added a national pool player from last years U14s. I know the u15 girls still won their first game w/o her but I think they will have a tough time repeating as state champs. it has really made a juggernaut of the u14 team however, they look unstoppable even next to a great team like the scorps 14s. I don't know why stars is even at state cup. they already have a spot in regionals and are huge favorites to go to nationals. why risk injuries?

GU13 SCORPS 6-S OVER BHAWKS
GU13 STARS 6-0 NOVA
GU14 STARS12 -1 NOR'EASTER

THESE ARE GAMES I SAW

ALL 3WINNERS LOOKED DOMINANT

the S which you took for a 5 should have been a 2. I am still mastering my keyboard and apologize for the error

Scorps 13's looked nervous against MPS. Close game. Even teams, Scorps won 2 - 1. Go ahead goal hit crossbar and bounced off keeper and in. Great job by both teams

Speaking with other parents and coaches a lot of teams had dehydration problems on Sat. The girl that went to the hospital also has a bad asthma problem and that was the main cause. Parents and coaches breech this all the time. You can lead a horse to water but cannot always make them drink. Nobody thought it would be 95 degree and so humid Sat. It took everyone by surprise..........

To make things even more scary for the competition the Stars have another Regional player on the U15's that could move down to the U14's!

they are doing something right at stars. only a few years ago the current stars u14 team would routinely get beaten up by scorpions u14. now they seem to have pulled even if not passed them and headed to a new tier. from andre cup to u16 they should have a team in every semifinal. too bad they are not closer to my kids!

U-15 Stars still have an awful lot of talent.....

Is today's U-13G's match-up between Blackhawks and MPS a replay of last weeks Needham fixture which got so much attention here?? Winner could likely advance to the final 4.

Yes it is.


If MPS plays like they did yesterday, they'll be in the final 4.

I believe that player was with the Scorpions until last year. While age appropriate as a U14, she is grade-wise a 9th grader, like most U15s, and wanted to play with those in the same grade. Scorpions policy is that players have to play on age appropirate teams, so she moved to Stars.

MPS 2 vs. Blackhaws 2. A well played match by both sides. Blackhawks will be in the final 4.

Hopefully there is one thing with which everyone can agree -- Goodbye U Mass hello Citizens Park -- although I will miss those U-17 boys games being played on fields 50 yards wide.

Saw one of those today (probably the same game). Not just good bye, but good riddens!

Re: Dehydration

Dear God! Has anyone heard of GATORADE!?!

As someone said, you can lead a horse to water but....... Here's a tip. Between games in weather like yesterday, encourage a snack or light lunch with chips or some other salty snack. The salt will make a kid thirsty so that they will drink to quench their thirst and replenish fluids. The salt also helps retain fluids for the second game.

Agreed - the news of the Stars U15's death was premature. They went through their group 3-0-0 with the highest goal differential in the GU15s. This is a team with plenty of firepower and tons of talent.

There has been a lot posted here - some of which is inaccurate. I'd like to correct one of the inaccuracies because I don't believe it is fair to the player who actually earned a special recognition.

There are no national pool players on the GU15 Stars or GU14 Stars. There were five 1992 Stars invited to the national development camp last summer, but none of them is currently in the national pool (unless something has changed in the last month). As far as I know, there is only one such player in Massachusetts in the 1992 age group and she is from the Scorpions club. In fact she was one of only two players from the region at the last national camp for this age group (1992).

The lack of success/recognition of region one at the national level of ODP is another topic however.

Is anyone else a little sceptical about the grass fields being ready for next year at Lancaster?When I was out there they looked VERY thin in the grass dept.Dont count out another year at UMass just yet.
