yes... Really

Wow, exactly what he or she said was going to happen just did. Dads on here ripping into it or the poster. Hahaha you guys are pathetic and it seems weren't invited. You make it too easy

Come on, her sons team wasn't invited, but something GREAT is happening! I wish my son was invited so I could see how AWESOME it is going to be!!!!!

That is PATHETIC, fake posting so you can pump yourself up about your kid. That is too easy.

Have to agree. That was rookie pot stirring from an obvious newbie mom. Watch and learn from some of the professionals first.

the teams are high level teams. leave it at that guys. move on.

High level, yeah that's it. Your boy is great. Should already be on Varsity. That's what the other Moms told me!

A lot of jealousy on the 2024 thread.

The jealousy is pretty sad considering it is from parents (who most likely never played the game and cheer when their kid bull dodges thru 6 defenders to score without ever looking to dish off to a wide open attackmen.... FYI, coaches cut those kids later on). Parents whose focus should be on 'Is my son enjoying playing lacrosse?' or 'Is my son improving his skills and lacrosse IQ?'.

And maybe even a better thought at 4th grade since all boys don't mature at the same rate....'Is the club my son is on this year the right fit for him from a developmental standpoint before a competitive standpoint?'

Let's hold off on pounding our chests for a few years.....you want it to be serious when your son gets near recruiting age, I'm all for it. At 4th grade though, the pressure you are putting on your kid will only turn him off from the game and make him want to quit. Then who will you live vicariously through?!?!?

More like humor if you look at it. Same story from the mommies and daddies about how great the teams are, but no substance.

It's good that the LI teams are going down and there will be other teams from MD playing too, not just the "top ones". I would assuming all the boys going will have a blast and all the parents will find something to complain about. Enjoy it boys, and try not to be like your crazy mommy and daddies.

Is there a name for this event or website?

No

Top secret, only the best get an invite.

Then how did Express B get and invite?

To be fair to any other teams on Long Island besides wp or taz. Does it really matter. A B express. Igloo. Etc. It's not even close so who cares

Not close to WP and Taz?

Express B+

how much better is the so called A team then O'reilly?

They are about the same...If Pack is AA and Taz is A, than the Express teams are B+ and B. We will never know though because the so called A team will never scrimmage the B team. I wonder why that is?

excluding the teams down south , are there any 2024 teams that can come close to at least TAZ excluding wolfpack which is in another class , I feel like everyone else is below. is laxachuseets 2024 any good? edge from Canada?

Plus isn't the Express MO to mingle in kids from both teams who they favor and bump deserving kids that are really on the team?

That's a D-Bag statement. Maryland has a much better group of 2024's in general. They have a team that are better than WP, a few better than Taz, and a whole bunch that are in the same class as Taz. Up here it's about the two best (that will change in a few years). Down there it's about the 7-8 best. No comparison. And for those crazy moms and dads that think being coming from a top LI youth team assures them of some sort of special recruitment benefit, you can forget it. It was always Md and LI that had the top HS teams and kids. Take a look at the IL Top 25 HS teams. The top 7 are all from different states. LI, Md, Ct, Pa, NJ, Oh, Mass, etc... The game is growing and LI teams are now big fish in a much smaller pond.

These are 9 and 10 yr olds kids you're talking about, not NCAA Division I NOBODY here has seen all the teams play so stop the nonsense!
Keep living vicariously through your "star" son, you pathetic losers!!

You mean smaller fish in a much bigger pond. These LI teams have seen 4 or 5 of those MD teams last summer and except for Bethesda all of them were a grade below. No your facts before flexing your jealous nonsense.

You mad, brah? Settle down.

Not with this age group, yet anyway

Soon enough.

Maybe so, maybe not

we'll see if the coach can withstand the pressure from the organization.

isn't it the deal that the A team gets the pick(s) of the litter? Sooner or later, it has to happen or the kids who stick it out get left behind.

I'm sure it'll happen soon. Wait until the spring when the A team coach grabs the better B kids to beat a team in the championships. Some of the kids on B stayed back because of the coach and are excellent.

i

Can't see that happening this year. The "A" Team coach is never around and hardly knows his own kids let alone the B team kids. It's crazy but the O'Reilly team is run like an A team. They practice more, scrimmage more, play in more tourneys, and do team outing together. Haters will say what they want but at the end of the day nobody is really looking to run to the so called A team. Maybe next year, but now is a different story.

just wondering if this kept you up all night? Seeing how it was 1:30 in the morning when you decided to post this incredibly pressing inquiry.

Working on my game. No rest for the weary!

Where are the games being played down in Maryland that Taz, WP, xpress, going to?

The Landon School, in Bethesda. Just noticed that Landon is ranked #2 in nation in this months Lacrosse magazine....

Is there just one bracket? How big is the tournament?

Just six teams LI vs MD....Taz, WP, xpress vs. Hawks, BLC, and madlax.

Any teams playing in Harding march madness?

I heard there was a few more teams playing
