Good weekend but many unhappy parents.

C'mon, you gotta do better than that. Unhappy about what? Cost of the hotel rooms? New Jersey Turnpike? Bay Bridge? Inconsistent officiating? The weather? The scores of the games?

At the 2021 level this turned out to be a highly competitive tournament. What looked like a probably M&D 2021 v. Yellow Jacket 2021 showdown in the final turned into a free for all. Every team in the pool was solid. Of course the U13 aspect gave API, Dolphins, and Catonsville advantages as they each had older players than the 2021 age group.

What a battle it turned out to be with M&D and YJ 2021's each ending up with two ties. Meanwhile Catonsville handles 2021 YJ, 2020 YJ ties their sister team, and API ties M&D.

In the end, M&D had to beat Catonsville (who beat UJ 2021 7-2) just to get to the final. M&D won a close 7-6 decision there. Then, M&D had to play the very talented (and older) Catonsville team again in the final and despite falling behind 3-1 in the 25 minute game, M&D roared back with 4 straight goals, some great defense and some clutch saves to win 5-3.

Despite the weather and the length of the games, this turned to be a very, very competitive tournament with 6 very good teams in the bracket. Well worth the drive from LI and Baltimore.

Kudos the the M&D parents and the YJ parents for continuing to make their rivalry spirited but friendly. Great group of parents on both sides.

Congrats to all the girls!!!

I wasn't at that tournament, but I for one think the re-cap of the tournament post was good and appropriate for this forum. It gave everyone an idea of what went on, was written in a non-subjective form. To tell someone to go live their life, because they are posting on a lax forum w/ accurate details, makes one think that you need to look at yourself for what you are posting, and maybe you need to "go live your life".

What's wrong with giving a recap of the weekends results ,I mean it's a lacrosse blog right? We weren't around for the playoffs so it's nice to see who came out on top. Safe travels!

The problem is that this is BOTC and there was nothing offensive or negative in the post. We have standards to uphold here.:)

In seriousness, it was a tough weekend. The short games made it tough and the fact the YJ and M&D 2021 were the two youngest teams presented a challenge that I'm not sure either were expecting. The heart that the M&D girls showed in beating an older team that hadn't lost all year twice in two hours was amazing. As you all know, typically tournaments consist of a bunch of blow outs with a couple tough games. This weekend they were all tough. I thought all the U13A teams really played well and made for a fun, tense weekend.

Pretty sure the recap wasn't written by a YJ parent. Do you really think they stuck around to watch the finals?

Saw TG 2021 black went 2-2 this weekend and the strong teams weren't even at the tournament. Thought they would be stronger this summer.

The only team that did anything for Top Guns this weekend was their white team in this age. Maybe they need to hold tryouts again and properly distribute the talent.

Careful...You are going to upset the guy who likes to point out that Elevate beat TG and only lost to YJ by 1.

News flash, because there's no time for pre-game stick checks virtually every team has illegal sticks in the summer. Especially the Maryland teams and YJ teams, the kids laugh about what the pockets look like in the summer

You do understand the white team plays the weakest bracket? Put those girls in the bracket the upper teams play and the get destroyed. You are trying to compare wins and losses from division play and relate it to misplaced talent, it doesn't work that way.

There is definitely misplaced talent on all teams.

I agree that there is misplaced talent on all of the teams. It is unfortunate that there is only a very limited number of spots for new players at try outs for the black and purple teams, the majority are already taken by those who have connections, well before try outs even take place.

Are you under the impression that this only occurs at top guns? There is always friends and family on all the teams. There are 23 girls or so on a team. In close games maybe 15 play. It really doesn't matter who make up the other 8 roster spots.

YJ 5-1 in a 20 minute game. Not trying to be rude, but after all the "almost" comments from last year, this was not competitive this go around. Best of luck to Elevate, they improved throughout the year in 2014 so hopefully that happens as we enjoyed the competition.

Elevate lost some talent this year. They are probably compare able to YJ B right now but it's early.

So now the discussion is who gets the nod for the second spot, elevate, TGs, YJ yellow, title nine, liberty, blue devil (or something), legacy, 91, beach bums, fl$, wave, express?????

Good luck. Do you have any insight to why M&D bailed on National Draw?

Well, I think the changing of tournament participation is a kind of natural phenomenon and has to do with the life cycle of the tournament scene as new tournaments rise and old ones fall. Also, I think there are a lot of trade offs and "political" motivations behind which tournaments organizations choose to participate in.

Finally, the quality and number of teams going to the National Draw has been slipping the past few years and it looks like it got to a tipping point of sorts as far as M&D is concerned.

Well, I think the changing of tournament participation is a kind of natural phenomenon and has to do with the life cycle of the tournament scene as new tournaments rise and old ones fall. Also, I think there are a lot of trade offs and "political" motivations behind which tournaments organizations choose to participate in.

Finally, the quality and number of teams going to the National Draw has been slipping the past few years and it looks like it got to a tipping point of sorts as far as M&D is concerned.


Also look at the list of college coaches attending, this tournament has certainly slipped heavily on that front too! Too big and competition too watered down.

I would rather lose to M&D every week than drive to NJ and play so many weak teams. 2021 YJ Blue won 13-3, 13-0, 13-0, 6-0, 5-1, the last two being twenty minute playoff games. Our growing rivalry with M&D has so far been so much more competitive for all girls involved. Both teams are also developing a growing respect for each other, as are the parents. I wish we could align ourselves to play them at every tournament. Since we are getting older we have noticed the Maryland tournaments are run so much better and competition is so much stronger. It will only make our girls better. Hoping to see them at the Prime time summer slam at Goucher college.
