The last six iterations of the National High School Invitational have played a bit like a wedding in a soap opera. After the wedding, alliances and romances change radically and the storylines to match, and there are plenty of surprises everywhere.
This year’s NHSI resulted in a number of interesting and dramatic results involving members of our top 10. But as we have seen, some of the NHSI teams have planned each other outside the weekend of competitions, and various competitions were different matches of the invitational this weekend. This should be a wonderful week.
This week Rightorightisright.com Honorary No. 11 team of the week is the ladies’ field hockey team that represents the Amsterdam Hockey & Bandy Club. Amsterdam started his main class season for ladies with a 2-1 victory over Den Bosch at the weekend. The scoring of the opener for Amsterdam was a 16-year-old American that you might have heard of: Reese d’Ariano, the home schooled Wunderkind who is in the American National Teasole.
