Reply to "2021 Carpenter Cup"

It’s too bad they have this attitude. The Cup is a lot of fun. Teams that make the semis play in Citizens. My son considered that a thrill.

More importantly, it’s draws a lot of college coaches from Maryland to Northern New Jersey at all levels. It doesn’t matter for the seniors. But it does for the juniors and sophs who make it.

For those who might be wondering what Carpenter Cup is ... The Carpenter family used to own the Phillies. They sponsored a tournament of all the leagues in the metro Philadelphia area on the PA and NJ sides. Typically each conference team is made up of the players who are first and second team all conference.

At one point the tournament was for prospects. Committed players couldn’t compete. Just before my son got to high school it was changed to all players. The tournament became more about our conference is better than yours than prospects.

My belief is if it’s conferences pitted against each other it should be about the best players from each conference.
