Your theory is horrible . Some background on Rebels . Started by I believe 3 dads out east who had kids that wanted to play year round but at a higher level than any of their town teams could . Rebels beat YJ and would beat TG in that they generally take some of the better players and do not have the back end of the 24-27 man rosters to contend with . They also play to win games and generally know who and how to stop the other teams . For all the talk of the greatest player on the east coast in the 2020 age group I have seen a rebel team beat her green machine many times as lacrosse is still a team game . Those kids will remain on blue although they may struggle to live up to the hype of best players in their age groups .
