at buckeye we were:
16 578 Gleason-Fairport HS 5-2-0

16th out of 60 teams, and only lost 2 matches.

thats my point - once you get into the elimination rounds then the game is win at all costs - but first you gotta get there.
I don't think that's much of a point either.
You weren't there, and don't know the circumstances of our losses, or how the matches/regional played out.

What you SHOULD note, is that we DID make the finals.

I never said offense is bad, I'm just saying completely ruling out defensive play (as it seems you have advocated in this thread) will come back to bite you. Or perhaps... you're robot is so completely undefendable you don't have to worry about this?
