And LB left their “Star” attackman in the game until the middle of the 4th quarter so he could pad his stats!!
Definitely daddy’s influence over the OC. Lots of bad apples on the sidelines at Blakefield.

Arlington at Brewster Arlington

Clarkstown North at Wappinger Should be Wapp
Pearl River at Tappan Zee TZ

Brewster over Arlington would be the upset of the week, if not for one thing:

Fox Lane over Greeley in OT.
That is not a typo.
A varsity lacrosse game in section 1 was won 3-2.
It was almost a controversial ending as FL looked to have scored the go ahead goal less than a minute to go, but was waved off by the officials.

Re: Boys High School Anonymous 9 hours ago

you are a disgrace!!! What would you expect! JC doesn't have the hold backs that most of the schools have and they work hard to compete.
Sorry if your silver spoon, elitist attitude will only allow you to cheer for the Baltimore teams. I'm sure if it were up to you the league would be a 5 team league, that's great! Grow up! I'm sure u probably never played a competitive sport in your life or you would know how to win with class and loose with dignity.

Jesters will have kids recruited. So will every other club. Even the “bad” ones. Have your kid play where it’s a good fit for them and for you.

Every club has +- Most important thing is the coach of that team. Will they help your kid improve and will they have fun.

You only see the potential in their offense when they play a disgrace of a lax program? Someone's a disgrace and it isn't the JC program.

This!! I mean we are talking about teenage boys. Teal classy.

Re: Boys High School Lax Anonymous Yesterday at 09:57 PM

Get your facts straight. To be clear the MHS coach that was let go was not let go due to conflicts of any type with players or clubs or even his own kid. We all know, prob even the district now, that should not had happened.

Massapequa parents rallied to oust the 2x State Championship coach and now they want to get rid of the new coach. Most of the time it isnt the coach, it's the players.

Club coaches are paid by lacrosse clubs to coach which makes this even more questionable... Catholics/Privates you have a choice for your son/daughter to attend or not and put up with the politics there but now its invading the public schools its very alarming and unethical

The MHS coach won two NYS championships. Who cares about club! There were no conflicts between any club nonsense and the MHS varsity lacrosse program.

I bet you're a lot of fun at parties.

We get it, MD is the land of holdbacks at elite level. While that is true to some extent, most areas including LI have their share now.

One year, your wish will come true, it will be some arbitrary date of one year for everyone regardless of grade, until that time, Shzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Deep pocket Daddy ball is live and well at the Catholic schools.

It sure is. It's amazing how much these schools have changed in the past 5 years. I have kids at 1 of the 2 Catholics for the past 6 years - this thankfully my last. What we have seen this year is a disgrace. Seniors left out to dry. Weird sophomore promotions. You can have it.

It's so interesting to me how much money Millon has been able to make on the back of this consistent business model.

One of biggest reason MM focused on his sons teams and them. Gotta give MM credit, one of the more disliked people in lacrosse community, yet had his son as the number 1 recruit, talked about constantly and now starting at UVA all the while making a pile of money off the dreamers of lacrosse who fall by the wayside thinking they will end up like his son. .

GC/P'ville I think could go either way.
I don't think the CSH/Town game will be as far apart as that.
Somers I think depends on which Pelham team shows up, but it should be a Somers W
Greeley/FL is a classic rivalry game that could be a trap game for Greeley, but I don't see Greely losing.

The rest is pretty spot on.

Rye/Eastchester is a league game - they have to play it.

Huge schedule advantage for Dons, Coming off glorified practice with lots of kids playing vs Gilman that doesn't particularly play many kids who went to ot with chc.

You only see the potential in their offense when they play a disgrace of a lax program? Someone's a disgrace and it isn't the JC program.

Re ML v NL: aside from ML's FO guy, who is good and travels from way out of town and 2 good lefty middies and decent defense, I don't see how they are going to beat NL. NL has an equally good FO player, if not better, very good mids and LSMs and far better attack and goalie.

Maybe NL flops, which is known to happen, but ML is no powerhouse team. Certain players never seem to come off the field that should and the coaching.....well, we all know the nonsense on the sidelines.

You mean the Crabs lefty who started at Crabs, went to FCA, held back and then back to Crabs....oh yeah....solid!

He's the new, most-obvious holdback flavor of the week. I'm sure the kids parents are very proud of their 15 year old.

Layoff the kid and his family. Holdback whining is done for 2028s. HoCo rules allow 15 year olds to play. And it helps the on age 14 and 13 year olds get ready to play against much older kids next year.

Yeah the on age kid(s) cut to make room for him are really getting a hand up from club lax. They'll be so much more ready for HS now!

There are many kids in AAA who are better than Elite players. And those AAA kids are getting valuable game reps against excellent competition with fewer holdbacks. If kids on Crabs attack depth chart want more minutes they can work for it or play AAA. That may be a blow to parents' ego but still better for kid's development.

I think the caveat is that there are many 1st and 2nd line AAA kids who are better than 3rd line elite kids. But not usually bigger, to be fair. And at the lower end of elite, certain coaches' sons should not even have made their team, and everybody knows it. Even when the Dad Coaches are Lax Legends lol. So, there's minimum 6-10 kids in Elite ball who we all know shouldn't be there, just based on that metric alone.

The fact that a handful of 2028 AA players (and good numbers of AAA players) have made elite rosters every year for the past four years should make that take not very controversial, but yes it is heresy here on BOTC.

For years there was a CLEAR disparity between AAA and Elite, despite what parents of AAA teams like to think.

However- with the arrival of puberty, and AAA kids holding back— yes, the line is getting more blurred. Some AAA kids will turn into student athletes with puberty and they’ll be more than ready for Elite. And frankly, there are kids at Elite who have not benefitted from puberty— and unfortunately, the Elite division has simply left them behind. It might be another year or two for them to catch up

I don't think there is anyone arguing that AAA teams are generally as good as Elite teams (though I think a Clippers vs. 91 or Team Money matchup would be a coin toss), but the idea that every player on an Elite team is better than every player on an AAA team seems silly.

We've played on AAA and Elite teams, and in both cases there were a handful of kids on the team who were difference makers but the bulk were good but somewhat interchangeable.
