A 20-4 win in girl’s lacrosse is just plain bad sportsmanship. The coach should have used the lopsided game as an opportunity to give playing time to players who don’t play often.

Poor leadership by the coach. Sports is much more about teaching the kids than running up the score.

1. The girl’s game is 7PM today at Foley
2. The Algonquin coach did in fact play the non-starters
3. There were some extenuating circumstances w/ the Nipmuc team
