98 Girls ODP Tryouts

[Unregistered]

Hmm...could this give some credence as to why they (ODP) were looking for some of the talented but larger girls? I'm not sure that is what they did, but some parents were complaining that it seemed they were passing up talented younger and smaller girls in favor of the talented larger girls. This might just be one of the reasons?

Possibly but that thought process will only work inside of Oregon. Try taking a larger team to California and you won't see the same results. Talent and skill will still over take size.

I would expect to see the '97s beat the '98-99's, especially at this point in the ODP process. Who ever was keeping score and posted it on here is rather sad. The '98 girls had 2 teams with each team having 5-6 subs with girls that have never played a full size game together playing in a formation that most are not familar with.

I am not sure why someone would post a score of an ODP age group scrimmage. I think it is funny. My guess is it is to give some credibility to the group. Here is the thing. If the 97s didnt beat the 99/98 pool every time, even with a weak pool, we are in big trouble. There doesn't even need to be an excuse "formation" "more players to sub." Silliness

I would agree, unless the score was 3-2 with the 97's coming out on top. That would lead to some credence that the 98-99 pool is better then anticipated.

Speaking of the 98's, did the rotation mean anything? Was it random? Are there still 9 girls to cut before Eugene?

According to the emails, next week they will post the names of those making the trip to Eugene. Good luck to all this coming weekend.

I wonder if they will get the "ice baths" the 97's did last year ?
