Valencia strikes again!!!

[Dugout Dad]

Let them play whereever they want to play who cares..You guys have a lot bigger worries than this. You ought to be worrying about Dugout dads president getting this nation back on her feet..

Your president has a degree from Notre Dame, we should be just fine.

That will make a man root for USC...

It's not all about one or two players on a team, that's why they call it a team. I wish Valencia all the luck because Saugus looks tough this year. They have a great team.

[DurfWerzel]

You're right. It isn't about one player. And I hope everyone takes a moment to notice that Valencia has been playing and winning with the exact same team they had last year. The tragedy in this story is a good kid having to suffer for a year because her parents wanted her to be on a team that didn't really need her to be competitive. And as much as all the families involved like her personally, I think most are glad that they ultimately won't have to listen to all the "asterik" talk should the team happen to make it back to the CIF championship.

Regarding other Foothill teams, I think both Saugus and West Ranch will be strong. Although it's hard to say how strong because of the schedules they've played.

So true, and I feel the same way about the kid she is awesome. I wish the best for her. I have known her and her Family for years. No matter what she will be just fine. I just hope she is happy, at the end of the day isn't that what really matters.

This school is no way near us and all the talk on hear I'm kind of curious for those in the know. How many of those girls are really supposed to be at Valencia vs. not? Please no names please just numbers; that team played solid in the last couple of tournaments. congrats to their victory this past weekend.

Can everyone just agree that no matter how you slice it, this is NOT a tragedy. The word keeps being used in this thread to describe this situation. Its simply not tragic. It belittles people that are going through REAL tragedies.
Just sayin.

[Gone in 2.6]

Good for you Ace. That word is especially grating right now with the recent loss So Cal travel ball has suffered

Thanks for the good old fashion "midwest common sense".

[DurfWerzel]

Ace, I completely agree. Poor choice of words on my part. As for the current roster, I believe there is only one player on the current roster who is attending VHS on an inter-district transfer.

wow!
