91 combo - but you cannot count on that team to exist going forward? is this team to replace the avengers? does 91 avengers exist anymore? I didnt see them play -but did look at tourney machine- express north must be ok? they blew out 2 teams and somehow lost to 91 combo? any color?

3 or 4 were from 91 tri state

91 combo had some good athletes. They never stopped trying. Express was just a more solid team.

did anyone see express north play on saturday?

Don't know if you'll be seeing the 91 Combo team again - was mostly boys from outside LI. Texas and upstate ny. MD was a no show, some conflict or something. There was 2 or 3 boys from LI 91 2025 white and 91 2025 orange's goalie.

it was a B team vs. a pickup team. What you saw was an ok/good B Team who has played together for a year plus taking advantage of that familiarity to win in fall ball.

Congratulations.

Will they play B again at Mayflower? That will keep them away from Taz, but the other Team will likely get the beat down. Who knows, will the Geese play up in their own tournament? I suppose not, but that would probably be an even matchup.

They were decent. They can score but let 91 Combo but up 10 against them in a lose. Solid B level team.

Express played the Taz on Columbus Day and lose 9-2. They will play each other again and they will get better for it.

As for the Geese, can't see them playing up. They did that last year at Pro Player and got beat up pretty good and all 3 teams they played were asked to take it easy.

so, here is a question- if every single team that is discussed is a B team or town team - other than Taz and Pack- are their any other A teams at the 2024 level?

If your son's team plays in A divisions, he's on an A team. Don't let these freaks mess with you.

exactly!!! so Taz Dad or Taz coach,whoever....move up!!!

Based on the fall, Igloo, Express 2x, Outlaws Elite, Longboards, 91 Combo, Express North, etc are all good teams. Time will tell if any of them will take down the Taz. Would assume WP will play up in every LI tourney except Lax Fest.

Lets Call Pack A, then Taz is (not quite or maybe) an A team, so that says everyone else (who Taz will crush) are B Teams. Unfortunately, the Pack are screwing up the curve. But because they are there, how else do you want to handle it?

It isn't easy, or nice to say, but even if Taz is an A team, who else is an A? I would say no one. Then let's call all the rest B+ to B-. It's not bad to be a B, isn't that above average? Or is there just too much grade inflation here to make the parents happy and the grades are really B to C?

So sad. You have way too much free time. They're 9. Get a life.

Pack plays 2023 going forward. Except Laxfest this team has no reason to play at the 2024 level anymore. No reason to rip into this statement because its backed up by results. Going to tournaments and winning 15-1 is not doing the team any good. Playing 2023 A or B is the right move for these boys, win some tournaments, lose some tournaments it doesn't matter as long as the competition is there. Well coached team with a solid base of good players should play where they belong. Nothing against any 2024 teams out there, but this team is built to play up.

Let some of these "other" teams get some practices in, and we will see where it shakes out in the fall. Some of these teams don't even have plays going yet. Hint for you - never seen the Pack play, but I have seen Taz. And the rest of the groups will match up evenly come spring. No question.

What do you mean built to play up? Based off of 75% of the roster's DOB's in 2005! I would say born to play.

yes they will

The Avengers are now Express 2024 O'Reilly.

91 combo is not the new 2024 team. It was a pick up group. Texas, Tristate and a few 2025s from 91s long island teams. The group was mixed 2024/25.

but was 91 combo put together because 91 no longer has a B team?

Except in Maryland where they are behind at least two teams.

yours is probably 10....

This is a sad and ridiculous statement from a jealous parent. These kids all play PAL football and are roster verified EVERY week.

How many times does the WP have to smack around Taz to shut everyone up? Conversation is getting boring. They beat up B teams in the 2024 bracket and come spring they will suddenly be able to hang? Okay

80% of the team plays football also. So they must have the Football programs fooled too. You're an idiot

Basically yes...

Wasn't the score of the last game 5 4?

The TX boys were big boys!

Wolfpack still only play 12 kids?

Pack is the best (no doubt about it). Sure on the 2023 comment except the thing is the pack would have had more competition facing Taz at Blatant then they had vs the Tornados. Enjoy.

Blatant Finals
Taz beat Express 7-4
Express beat 91 4-2

For someone who has experienced his son win a tournament in the B class I can tell you this. The kids know that there are some A teams out there that a very strong, that being said, for other programs to win a tournament in the B class is just as satisfying for a 9/10 year old. Winning after a long day with teammates is very gratifying and boasts the kids moral and love for the game 10 fold. Yes they are so called B, but at this stage, its about the kids and the experience. Thats why they have split divisions. Congrats to the kids on the strong A teams, who im sure put in a ton of effort. Keep in mind though fellas, the boys that are the big ones now could very easily end up being avg or small. Growth comes at different stages im sure you all know. At this stage, let it be competitive but fun. A/B/C who cares, I guess for 4th graders its for their Daddy's to brag. good luck boys.

Not sure. Last time they played it was a one goal game. They are pretty even

Both teams are playing up in Mass in a few weeks. We'll see how close the teams really are once they play the game.

Not even close! Pack wins by 5+ goals. Taz is so weak they took 2025 kids to fill the roster.

what difference does it make? both teams only play the top 12-14 when it matters

4 - 2

Son, give the phone back to your mommy. This forum is for adults who realize that 4th grade lacrosse is only...... 4th grade lacrosse!!!

Great parents, great kids, they are all learning so much, thank you lord for such wonderful coaches. Blah blah blah. Pack wins by 10

You just an a$$
