Laxachusetts beat Express 11-4 at the Express tournament not 8-3.

Express won 3 tournaments this summer. Icon won 0. Express best icon by 2 or 3 goals when they played against each other head to head Express dominated in their season ending tournament. Sorry but facts are facts. That would lead most people to rank Express ahead. However, if they played 10 times they would have some excellent games. Both are strong programs and will probably both continue to get better.

Express was 2-2 against laxachucetts getting beat in one game 8-3 give or take a goal. They beat laxachusets by one goal. They lost to igloo 14-4. Express is not in the top three. That is for igloo , icon and 91 in that order. Not sure who is 4 and 5 between express and TLI. I would guess express would beat TLI because tli had some bad games. Express got worse as the season went on. Even Igloo B played them close. I'm sure express will be looking for players at every position. High turnover means they are not AA.




te=Anonymous]I don't know about that. Express was thumped by every good team. I wouldn't call Laxachussetts a good team. Not one to hang your hat on at all. [/quote][/quote]

And then Express beat them when it mattered in the championship by 2 goals.

Laxachussets is not a great team so I guess we can put Express into that category too. Maybe if they played the other top teams closely, then you can say they are a top team. Until then, you can't. They weren't even close to Igloo, 91, crabs, etc.
Not for nothing, but their tournaments were weak. Almost gimmies

Where was Team Tiger from ? They played today at pridefest ?

Lax black is a very good team. Not sure if you actually ever saw them this summer? And if beating them and Icon among many others to actually win tournaments are gimmes would love to hear what should actually count as legit. Always much easier to try and discredit accomplishments than show success.

Express will make a lot of changes next year especially at D. They won't compete next year with the current team. There was a big decline after the spring. They beat Icon early in the season. Icon got much better by the end of the season. Proof one goal game against igloo who beat Express by ten when express was playng the best they played all season. Considering the entire season and not just one win Icon is the better team. Express is more on the level with the next layer of teams like team Long Island.

Team Tiger does not have a 2021 team. They are drone Northport.

Express beat Icon in late March or early April on Easter break when families were away. So give Express the "W", but Icon, for one, was not fully represented. By then the shamrock shootout had already been rescheduled a few times so the show had to go on, it is what it is ... On the other hand I was surprised that Express didn't go to LI Laxfest or the Young Gunz invitational tournament. Those two tournaments are generally attended by top teams and Express was conspicuously absent from both. Any insights?

Actually When Express played Igloo it was early in the summer and the team was still figuring things out. Probably one of their worst games all season. Not sure who is saying they were playing there best then but clearly not a parent or someone who ever actually watched them play. Probably someone concerned they will continue to get better. They came together and were playing outstanding team lacrosse by the end of the summer. They are a very talented team. A few additions and they will be able to beat anyone.

Except igloo, icon, 91, and 2-3 teams in Maryland.

Not sure why Icon keeps getting mentioned with this group. The only teams that won elite/AA tournaments from this group this summer were igloo, 91, and Express. And Express and Igloo both beat Icon this summer. Not sure about 91.

[/quote]how does one person have this much info on 6/7 grade lacrosse. my God. you have a lot of time on your hands to know that much about the face of 2021 lax for next season. no hobbies?

What AA team did Express beat? They did beat A teams in close games but got beat by a lot by AA teams. Icon played AA teams closer and beat all A teams by a lot. Icon is a top 3 team.

And don't say Express beat Icon because we already know the top players from icon did not play in that game.

Express beat Icon. In a championship game. I am Sorry if your players do not show up for big games. That is odd.

Funny stuff. Express parent claims Icon is not AA and not as good as Express because
Icon never won a AA tournament or beat another AA team. When the Express parent is asked to name one AA team they beat this year the answer is Icon. Does that mean Icon is AA? Also if icon is not AA that means Express did not beat any AA teams either. Under that standard that the the Express parent excludes Icon from AA status it compels the conclusion Express is not AA either having failed to beat a AA team this year. This is especially so when Ecpress beat Icon they were not AA that day given Icon was missing many top players.

You are all crazy. Be happy your son is playing and move on.

And the question of where Express was for a couple of big tournaments this year such as Laxfest and Young Guns remains unanswered...

Express lost to Laxxachusetts11-3 and igloo 14-4. Laxxachusetts is not aa and neither is express. Going 2-2 against laxxachusetts and 3 of those games being a one goal game and getting beat by them by 8 goals in the fourth game proves express is not aa. Express if they were aa should have destroyed them in all four games. Express is looking to make changes. Giving up 7 goals to the Two Way lacrosse team and many goals against other non a teams when they have one of the best goalie shows they need help at at stopping goals. It is no secret they are looking and This is a good opportunity this year to make this team. They are a good program because they are one of the best with getting kids into college.

Express got Slapped good by 91 orange this season already , the disappointed look on MC face when the score started to pull away was priceless .. He will never compete against 91 .

Win every single tournament except two!!

wth does that mean?

Why on earth are 2021 parents already worried about recruiting.

What parents are worried about recruiting?

2021 parents don't need to be concerned with recruiting now, but if their child wants to play lax at college level and the parent wants to give them the opportunity to make that happen than it is the time to get on that Selective solid team this Fall- if they are not already....parents need to be concerned about playing for a top club team where their child will get better with solid teammates and with that a bit down the road ( and not to far down the road these days) the recruitment and exposure to college coaches will fall into place.... Of course they are those crazy great athletes that this does not apply to but to most others now is the time to start aligning themselves with the right teams...

Possibly because of the exposure that the World Series of Youth Lacrosse just had - a game on ESPN2. 2021 teams will be competing to go to Denver in 2016 to participate, provided they win whatever qualifier tournaments they set up. Given this exposure and experience there is no doubt recruiting is on this grade's radar.

For Long Island the only team that applies for is Igloo. After that it does not matter which team you are on. Just make sure you tryout for a team that practices a lot. I see far too many teams charging $1500 to $2000 and even more that guarantee less then 20 practices. Stay away from those teams that won't assure you the number of practices needed to get better.

No one's recruiting 7th graders

No one is getting scholarships anymore unless you are the best of the best so stop dreaming that ur child is being recruited!

my god please don't commit to any school before visiting Miami. after visiting Miami, if you decide you would like to go to school in the middle of Baltimore or on some farm in the middle of nowhere then you have more will power than me. Club ball all the way. practice and jump in the ocean.

Anybody know when the Icon tryouts are?? All other top teams are posted but haven't been able to locate info for Icon. I checked their website but not updated yet.

That's why ICON a terrible organization. There is no organization. Terrible because southern Nassau county needs a good
Local program and name. Bad move PM
