very disappointing how 91 has handled this and the unity of that team...kids were competing during Fall/Winter getting ready to move outside for the Spring to compete even more for spots on the rotation, and tourneys, etc...then this comes a long...picks a team a few wks right before the tourney and jams a few practices in with 4 crushers...in a tourney that really means nothing...some kids not picked, opt out, others go because they feel like they have to, others hardly play during games or practice, even ones playing more are effected as there is no continuity/flow in the team and their play...complete disaster and hearing crazy tension there...coaches arguing, defenders running midfield, middies running attack...am sure they will work hard between now and Denver and may even win it but it makes you wonder was it really worth it?

That NLF thing is more important as well as the brand of 91. You can't lose and say your the best apparently.

Only one guy developed talent that's JS. The rest acquire it and put there name on it.

They will sacrifice every kid for the better of the 91 brand, they are up 21-0 and they still have those CRUSHERS in scoring at will and not to mention some of the parents and the way they act. I saw a 91 kid flip a parent off after the igloo game because they were celebrating.

Nice job 91

How does 91 use Crush Kids when the rules clearly state that players must be on the team

"All players must compete with their team or program on a regular basis. Minimum requirements are that players must compete with their team/program for at least two other tournaments or in a seasonal league. These events do not need to precede the qualifier but must precede the Championship event. WSYL reserves the right to require proof of participation in these tournaments or leagues. Players cannot be added only to participate in the World Series."

I have no idea what 91 did or didn't do. This I do know. Winning this event says you have the best youth team in the Country and translates into dollars. Organizations want to win this event. Right now these kids shouldn't even be playing travel ball since its the School season anyway. Consider it bonus lacrosse.

You were correct until you mentioned they shouldn't be playing travel ball at this time due to school ball season.So what your saying is it's time to regress with Middle School ball ? So the kids who trained all year long with their travel organization should take this time now to rest and focus on strictly town , play at the level of kids who do not participate in travel and picked up their stick a month ago to tune up for town.. Just Way to many clueless people still stuck with town ball "rules" that have vanished years ago, no less middle school ball. Or just maybe your one of those guys who are all about town travel and wish some kids who play elsewhere would come play for your town to make the team better as the coach is not offering the high intensity training that others are getting.
Come back in 4 years and see who's left on Varsity as far as who plays travel and who doesn't. The game has evolved and travel offers way more then political town ball, and as this age group is the largest Boom of high end lacrosse players you will be seeing drastic changes like it or not at all town school varsity programs , there will be no choice left for town to up their programs if the varsity coaches want to keep their jobs..

Your wrong. Heres why. Some kids choose not to play on their middle school teams, thats fine, the studs will have been brought up to Varsity. At any rate, if you are playing school ball you are playing 6 days a week , two hours a day. An athlete should rest at least one day. Your going to run the kid into the ground. Also, programs ,like the SMithtowns , Ward Mellville . CSH, and many others have great programs and coaches. I believe Chaminade just lost to one f these programs. Chained who picks the best of the best lax players in the Island could not beat a reggae;r HS team that has to draw its players from its own school boundaries.

What two additional tournaments are the Blaze/Crush kids playing in?

Another delusional parent, let me guess your not and everyone else is.

You can practice 7 days week or 1 it doesn't change the athlete, some kids can pick up the game at 10th grade and be good, others can play 7 days a week for 13 years and it won't make a difference. Understand that everyone is crazy and everyone makes a choice and no one really cares what your choice is. Once you get over yourself and stop worrying about everyone else and who does what it shouldn't matter.

Also to the guys who stay on 91 with a person who benches you to win and throws you to the curb and you stick around because you think your son is getting better makes me laugh.

Go to the crush games and watch the 7 kids who don't play and then watch were they are in 4 years crying that their HS goal stinks because JS had them on crush

I would think most competitive travel 7th grade lacrosse players would be playing on the JV for the town they live in. At least I know my son does. Middle school lacrosse would be a complete waste for him.

I am just looking at scores for WSYL qualifier did Igloo really beat 91 11-4 ? Must be a typo

No typo there, Crush kids couldn't do a thing!

Anyone know which team received an invitation in the North other than Legacy, 91 and Igloo? Did Eclipse, Prime Time, Express, Icon? I heard there may be as many as 6 teams invited.

Legacy, Express and Eclipse
