Any 2018 team can beat another on any given day. The teams are that close. 91 is no better than Crabs and Express is no better than 91. They are all that good.
Sit back and enjoy some really good lacrosse in this bracket.
"on any given day" is a platitude/rationalization you could apply to any competitive sport and is unprovable by definition. What's a fact are the actual scores on any given day, and that's why the games are played with referees, scoreboards and clocks. You can only talk about the games actually played, won and lost. 'any given day' games don't exist.
In the transient world that is Fall Recruiting circuit lacrosse the scores and winning and losing does not matter - rosters are different from week to week and even game to game with in a tournament - this is not a league or playoffs and while the teams play hard they do not play to win. In a "real" situation your best goalie would play the whole game, your starting attack and defense would play the 90% of the game and your first offensive middy's would play 70% of the game. In the Fall showcase circuit you have kids still playing Soccer and Football. FCA and WCS have different rosters every week 3D and Madlax have area teams and national teams and FCA puts teams together on a tournament by tournament basis as well as a lot of kids play on multiple teams. In a play to win at all cost tournament without concern for playing time and hurting feelings you have 8-10 really really good teams and on any given day any one could beat any other one. for my money if they all played to win, 91 is the best team but certainly not unbeatable.
