Originally posted by Unregistered View PostIt's hard to know just how good the DA players will be. Am I wrong or did Newton North have one or two DA players return to their team last year and it barely showed? Obviously there are a ton of great DA players that could make a huge impact but not all of them would be difference makers in this league.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostYou pick a bad choice of words to make your point because winning and losing in soccer is often more a matter of the balance between opponents being 'tipped' rather than plowed over. Little things are the usual difference between winning and losing. One player, in soccer, could indeed tip the scales in favor of two otherwise equal teams.

Nothing is 100% defined, however, chances are that the DAP would be excellent high school players. For Framingham, there is always a steady stream of soccer players from a large immigrant community that grew up playing soccer. Add a couple of players with even better skills and abilities and you have possibilities especially in high school soccer.
That said, on the other side, perhaps they are leaving DAP since they weren't so great and weren't getting any playtime.
In the end, Framingham has always had the potential to spoil the day for other schools, but they have largely failed to advanced far into any tournament.

DA vs HS
With the exodus of players and the issues that the NE Revolution have had, I find it difficult to believe for most players that playing high school ball with a decent team and coach, with 2 hours practices every day, is such a detriment to your development.

Was at the Medford jamboree this weekend and the 4, of 8, teams that stuck out to me were Winchester, Danvers, Algonquin, and Medford. Medford looks the weakest of the 4. Seem to have real problem at goalkeeper. Danvers looked the best of the bunch.
