State Cup Results?

GU17 Bolts v CRU

Anyone see the GU17 Bolts v CRU game?

MYSA website says 5-0 Bolts. Would have thought it would have been a very close match (the 2 teams tied in their MAPLE game).

Guest...That was your perception? Seriously?

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.

If athletes are drinking large amounts of water, salt intake via Gatorade, salt tablets or other salty foods in critical to avoid hyponatremia (low sodium). Hyponatremia can be fatal as happened to a Boston Marathon runner last year.

I thought it was a very good game by 2 skilled teams. I havent seen your team play a whole lot as of late but I dont think you expected the other team to jump out like they did and it looked like your (team) was a bit concerned, yes. You obviously know your team much better than I and dont have the same view so. I will tell you that there were many parents on the sidelines who were nervous based on the comments.

In the end though you obviously did what was needed to be done.

Congrats on a successful weekend.

OK...

As a rival parent I can honestly say that this Scorps team is about as composed a group as you will find. From watching the match I saw no evidence of nerves at all. I was surprised at the level of MPS play. Far better than what I saw at Bandits.

Not that it is anyone's business, but I feel as though, as her mother, I should set the record straight for all the newsbags out there. The young lady who left in an ambulance at Amherst was not dehydrated. And yes, she and I have both have heard of water, gatorade, saltines, etc... There is such as thing as the medical privacy act and we will hold to that.

I was feeding off the parents comments is all. I didnt choose the appropriate words...

Hope that your daughter is OK!

I thought that it was fine for posters to note the hot conditions and it's affect on the players. It was also great to suggest advice on avoiding dehydration. But it was over the line to try and blame the players, parents or coaches for lack of proper hydration - sometimes you do everything right and still end up affected by the heat.

In your daughter's case wasn't heat at all. Best wishes for your daughter. and for the posters who were a little judgemental - lighten up. Every time something bad happens no need to cast blame without the facts.

My daughter also had the start of dehydration at the end of the first game Sat. My wife was stating to her 3 days before the RR to drink, drink, drink. I don't think some realize how much fluid is used in playing a high level sport in extreme heat. With my daughter case we got her a good luch in air cond. and plenty of fluid before the next game. She was monitored during the game and was fine. I agree no need to throw the parents, team and even club under the bus. This is the same team as the above post.......
