For some reason? If you think really hard Im pretty sure you can figure out why they didnt go to Dicks......(Hint: there was another 2017 team there from Long Island that supposed to be really good)
Turtle buddy, news flash Terps qualified in a u15a bracket by winning a Fall 2012 tournament. Meaning, your team play 7th graders in Fla where the 2017 Terp team would've played 8th & 9th graders. Fear was NOT in the thought process..
AFAIK, there were only two 2018 teams in the 27 team bracket...the rest were big kids and I mean big! Breakers AA and Denver elite were stacked with large kids and each team had a couple of 6'2" players on each end of the field...very intimidating to say the least, and extremely physical, but that did not stop the skill of the Long Island Turtles.
Represented the LI region well against some seriously big and talented kids from all over. Also, IIRC, the turtles won the summer sizzle, the mad lax and crab fest tournaments on their way to the [lacrosse]'s tourney. I think they earned just a little respect for going undefeated in all of those tournaments.
Maybe they're not the best, but they sure are trying their best. What more can you ask?
