[quote name="youthinkyouknow" post="1300040" timestamp="1350180466"] [quote author=TGWhite link=topic=104629.msg1299973#msg1299973 date=1350175814] I am seeing praise for Bmt B from everybody, including their opponents. It seems as though they are definitely the best team in the area. I guess if you handpick a team and reduce the number of teams competing for the high value players then you can indeed create a highly effective team. Bmt B (6 - 0) and Bmt G (0 - 6) speaks for itself. Bmt G's coaches must have missed the draft or the tryouts. Just speculating on what everybody else is thinking... [/quote] ::) I love people that make themselves look like idiots when they talk about something they know [b]nothing[/b] about. Last year in Pee Wee, this team consisted of 17 (two 8-year old's and 15 7-year olds) players. 2 players moved up to Junior, leaving the possibility of the 15 players to return as 8 year old's. Of those 15, 13 returned. When kids return, they return to the team they were on the year before, then you draft for new kids. There is no hand picking ding-a-ling. The majority of these kids have played together since first year Flag under the same coaches. That's 4 years they've played together. Also the "high value players" well most of them are the coaches kids, so as long as the coaches stay together, the "high value players/studs" will stay together. Pee Wee Gold is a brand new team. The head coach and assistant coaches from last year moved up to Junior. There is a new Head Coach and he had to establish practically a whole new team. I know this because my child plays on this team and has been with these coaches and this core group of kids since first year Flag, so there are some [b]facts[/b] versus [i]speculation[/i] ::) . [/quote] So there is not really a draft for Beaumont? If ALL of the returners go back on the same team, even though there are other teams in the same divison, that seems like stacking to me.
