There is not much difference between Terps Black and True Blue. Terps Black has more depth at Middie, True Blue has more depth at attack. Both teams have solid poles. Goalies are strong for both. Terps Black had no face off specialist and were rotating kids, True Blue goes with one solid face off kid.
After the games one of the refs said he let the kids play, so this Long Island style of play may or may not be able to be exported to environments where the officiating is more restrictive. However in this environment it makes for fun lacrosse.
Your breakdown of the two teams is close to what I see also to some degree and in talking to some other 2017 LI dads.
I agree Terps Black has more depth at Middie than TB witch will help in summer. At Attack I respectfully disagree with you, stronger attack on Terps Black, FO, no doubt TB has a very strong young man at that spot and TB wins there over Black. Both teams are completely different Defensively, TB has a little size advantage on D with old school style smashers, where Terps Black is a fast athletic D that swarms, both defenses are relentless for sure. Goalies are both evenly very good! Nice to see both teams so strong for LI.
