Nicole Blood was never at argyle. She was at Saratoga frosh to junior year (Left the program just prior to Spring 2005 her junior year.)
As i said in my previous posts i was talking about NXN not the NY Feds. In your earlier post you said NY should dominate because they are allowed to use 7th and 8th graders. Thats not the reason they are so dominant, there are a lot of other reasons why they are the best and have won NXN 6 years in a row.
I have never said that NY is the only state capable of winning NXN. I agree with you that Saugus has a great chance of winning NXN this year (so does FM and Toga)and california has a number of excellent teams behind Saugus. I originally posted because i said there were to many excuses from the cali people of why they lose. They have lost because the NY teams have been better period.
NY girls are just better then the NY boys. At 7th and 8th grade girls are usually more mature then 7th and 8th grade boys at that point, i think thats why you see it more on the girls side of 7th and 8th graders making varsity or being brought up to varsity. Like i said before they NY teams have not achieved their dominance strictly on the basis of using 7th and 8th graders on their teams. I think you know that is true.
If you don't understand why having 7th and 8th graders on a roster is an advantage, nothing more I can say will convince you.
Interested to know what the other reasons for NY girls dominance are.
Sorry I got Nicole Blood wrong. I knew many/some of those girls transferred and somehow thought she was one of them.
What fueled Saratoga's years of dominance? Was it an integrated age group program that fed directly into the junior high/high school team? After Argyle, what changed at FM and other schools? Why did Saratoga lose its total dominance?
