BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Boys 2019 Fall 2014/Summer 2015 v3.0

No one here ever gives teams outside of Long Island/ Crabs any credit. Look to New England where they have laxachusetts who has one of the top 2019 teams and 2018 teams in the country. There are also good teams like 3D and Tomohawks. There are a ton a commits out of Massachusetts so don't like that only the kids from Express, 91, Crabs, etc are the best.

I had not seen the Laxachusetts teams before this weekend and I was impressed. All of their teams at Big 4 were competitive. Big, strong and fast players on every team.

Lots of good lacrosse the last two weekends - and it proved that all of these teams aren't really separated by that much - Madlax, FCA, Crabs, 91, Express, Express North, Laxachusetts, Dukes, HHH..

Any given Sunday...

1) Team 91
2) Big 4 HHH
3) Crabs
4) Laxachusetts

10) Dukes

Laxachusetts 2019 team loaded with older kids. Can't comoare them to true 2019 teams

Good job by both Express 1 and Express North at Big4 this weekend - Express 1 loses only to HHH who won it and North lost only to FCA (in OT) who was unbeaten up till the playoffs.

Did they play 91?

There must be Edge parents visiting this board because otherwise I don't think anyone would mention them among the top 2019 teams because they ARE NOT a 2019 team.

I agree with many of the previous posts that most all of the top 10 teams people have listed are all within a goal or two of each other on any given day.

I wonder how the Edge "2019" team would fair against 91 or Express 2018s?

That would be a more direct comparison. Edge Lacrosse registers their teams down an age group at each tournament. The tournament directors should not permit this practice. Plain and simple. Your team is comprised of rising 9th graders? then they play in the 2019 bracket...roster comprised of rising 10th graders (as Edge 2019 is currently comprised) you play in the 2018 division. Fair play.

Perhaps you should urge your director to grow a pair and refuse to play such teams. No game, no issue. Don't understand why more coaches and directors don't have the guts to just refuse the game. When you know the team is playing down, just don't play. If more and more teams did this, there would be no incentive to play down. It would make such a powerful statement. Teams like Edge, Crabs, Laxachuesstts and Dukes would have no one to play... If the big clubs started to stand up for their players safety the tournament organizers would have to take notice.

Team 91 2019 I heard beat up leading edge in a game at rutgers i definitly think team 91 is the best 2019 team right now but everyone else is very close

These Edge parents are cracking me up. If I were traveling around with a team full of rising sophomores playing rising freshman at every tournament I would be embarrassed. I certainly wouldn't be boasting on an online forum about how my kids team should be considered one of the best.

For those who are a part of programs who do things the right way, best of luck to all of you this summer.

And despite all the holdback chatter / complaints - Platinum Cup championship game is 91 v Express, probably the least amt of holdbacks, if any

So let me understand , it's ok to only have a few holdbacks ?

91 has not one single holdback

Leading Edge and Edge are two separate organizations. for that matter countries.

Edge is 2019 until they are not and they don't lose. Hence, they deserve top billing with 91.
