Don't take the bait. Obviously Express 1 is not a "B" team. But objectively they are no where near as dominant as they were over past few years. Not a criticism. Still a very good team, just not dominant. Other teams have and will catchup. Maybe roster turnover will help. Maybe coaching change or style change will help. Or maybe there's just too many good players at this age so lots of teams will beat each other sometimes. Outside of bandits, we know.
That exactly correct. If any of these morons had older kids that have been through it before they would know. Most kids don't play travel lax in 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade. Once the real kids without crazy parents start playing, the field levels out dramatically. Yes, bandits are tops and probably will remain there because a lot of parents will play their kids out of position so they can go to Denver (although only 12 kids will realistically get any tv time), but the rest is a crap shoot. Badgers, S2S, Warriors, and Igloo will all be different teams next year. Some will lose their best players and some won't bring enough new talent in to compete. Either way, all of those teams are going to be grinding it out and beating each other up for the next few years. Good competitive lax never made a kid worse, so they should all worry less about being on the best team and more about finding the team that suits their son's need best.
Exactly. Bandits area A team, Badgers are a B team.

I guess that makes any team other than the Bandits a 'B' team. Exactly. Bandits area A team, Badgers are a B team.
