BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Boys 2024-4th Grade Fall 2015 Summer 2016

3rd and 4th grade team from LI, TriState, Maryland and Texas if they make the trip.

It will be interesting to see how they play, them being from out of state and all. Might complicate things since they've probably never played together before.

Genius, why didn't I think of this?

Ha....LMAO. Thanks Captain obvious! "Might complicate things since they probably never played together beore". An adult wrote that, correct?

They have so many hold backs they ARE playing the right grade level

Actually it happens all the time and it happened. Clearly happened! They did have older kids jump in and play the championship. And for the idiots who say taping a game makes people a tool. Maybe you are just poor and can't pay the $75 it cost to have a game filmed... So I can enjoy the game and catch it on film. But post photos on Facebook all day and talk [lacrosse] in forums... Longboards is a young team who has an entire pal team on it. They earn their victories fair and square

Stop Legacy barely played starters

Believe what you want but the coaches mixed up players the whole game. The score doesn't matter because they knew they would win. It was a weak tournament for that bracket. Good practice for them though.

Interesting discussion Taz vs. Express. 13-1 was Taz all over Express early with disciplined play, familiarity with each other and Express first tournament ever. Not just first tournament. Until they beat Outlaws first game, they never had a scrimmage let alone game. I watched second games closely as well. Outlaws were much better against Express and Express much better against Taz(tied at halftime). Take nothing away from Taz-good players, well coached and together for some time. It's early, actually it's fall!! Let's see these teams in spring/summer when coaches have had a chance to coach these other teams, that have barely played together. The talent levels are not dissimilar at the top.

Yes - 2 years vs. a few weeks is a big difference when you are 9 years old.

It's still pack/taz and everyone else

Express A proved yesterday they will be in the conversation with more time together.

it seems like only 2 real A teams playing lacrosse these days and one of them playing in the 5th grade bracket, so either Taz moves up, or they just blow everyone out all year

Since when do you combine game scores? Once express A figured it out, they lost by 3 in the second game and were ahead for a lot of the game..plus it was the first game they ever played together. How long has taz been playing together?

so according to you, Taz is the only other "A" team around? Personally they are all very close with WP way ahead and Taz behind them. Other than those two, all the other teams are in the same class. So Taz could continue to win in this bracket, or move up to 2023 B. If they stay, they should win with some class though. Express upgraded with both teams, and Igloo still looks like a good team. 91 Combo looked well run with some very sound players. Again, if Taz is not getting any competition, move up to 2023B, and the rest of the 2024 is wide open.
