I have consistently seen the turtles lose over the last few years to medium grade older teams from Westchester County. I am not sure that is the greatest strategy for those kids. Much better to dominate the 2017s consistently and get in their heads that way. Earlier this year I saw one if the Turtles best players at a series of workouts prior to the Jake Reed try outs. The kid was very good however when he went up against the best of rest he was far less dominant . Part of it was these kids where motivated to show him who was boss so to speak, and they got in this kids head who expected by virtue of his Turtle status everyone would collapse
If the Turtles are consistently losing like you said you've witnessed then how do they win most tournaments that they enter?
Not a Turtle dad just asking.
