2023 was a weak bracket anyway. Who cares

some people do. since you don't care but took the time to care by posting, you answered your own question.

This was the 2024 team -- no 2023 kids or holdbacks were involved - if you were there, you'd understand why Valley only lost by 2 on Monday -- the fields were soaked on Monday with more than a handful of deep puddles that stopped the ball completely. If it was dry for the finals like it was on Sunday, Duke's 2023 would have beaten Valley Select by a lot more than 2 goals.

The Shore helmets at the Viper were clearly the more dominant players in the 2023 bracket.

Didn't both teams play in the same conditions? Worst excuse ever.

OK pot stirrer. Didn't seem that way against massapequa.

A Shore parent did not write that...

Doesn't matter they write plenty of other crap on here

So Valley only lost to Dukes 2023 by 2 and lost to Igloo 2024 by 3. Valley also beat a 6th grade team 9-6. Makes no sense that they could beat Valley. Anyone have the real score? [/quote]

6-3 igloo. Valley players, coaches, parents out of control. Several vicious blind side hits and cross checks especially late. Refs called the game with 2 minutes left after 3rd cheap shot. [/quote]

Sounds like there's a lot more to this story than this guy is letting out. If it were just the Valley parents/coaches/player and cheap shots then Igloo would have been awarded the win. Something tells me this is a typical igloo team with older kids claiming to be 2023. I'm sure both teams were out of control.[/quote]

VS parents were freaking, kids were being kids, coaches had no discipline. Bad penalties taken by older bigger boys, would go to the sideline and not even be talked to by their coach. Refs did the right thing saying enough, injuries were coming.

Why are we still talking about how this? I've never seen, or even heard of, Valley Select. Also, the Igloo team was a 2024 team (and all Igloo teams cheat anyway). Furthermore, 2023 Dukes National is a good team, but lost to Warriors at Shamrock. You'll probably never see them on LI again unless it's in a weak tourney. Let's move on.

Who are you kidding? You will see the Dukes again and Valley Select. Its just a matter of time. They are both top clubs that are out of State but don't worry, little Johnny will have to play them in the near future and be beat by better teams

LOL! Shouldn't you be posting videos of you kid playing chump teams???

True Blue tied Shore to Shore! DK lost it! Whose next?

Score?

So that means True Blue is the 2nd best team in the country! Good for them!

Any info on how the teams in the Bible bracket did yesterday?

That's "B" bracket!

True Blue and Joe Cat are a complete joke and an insult to Massapequa, and Adelphi's feeder program.

Mamas boys 3-0
Icon 1-2
Outlaws 2-1
Express white 0-3

Mamas boys coaches-have some class. When you are blowing a team out, have the kids pass the ball some more.

If it's a Tavel program, why the insult to massapequa? I can't imagine all the kids there on on just that team.

What were the scores in the A bracket? Other teams?

That's their way. Get blown out by good teams so they keep their foot on the gas when they can beat others.

How did the A bracket shake out?

Great concept for a travel team... ruined by brutish coaching... have never heard a good thing about them from anyone outside of their team

Anyone know any scores?

Crickets. Interesting. Guess there was only 1 game in the A bracket.

Who did they do this to?

What was the best team in the "A" bracket?

Express white which happens to be there 3rd team.

Guess TB and STS didn't have any actual "W"s or they would have posted scores already.

Most of them are from Massapequa ....

I would think they would be pretty Good. The town team is pretty good. Although not sure why they don't try any a brackets. Always in b.

I can't speak to the coach's reputation though. Don't know him.

Other games were well played by both sides. Good time for all the kids.

How did True Blue do yesterday?

here we go, one weekend in and let the hate begin..Unreal...

1-1-1

Thanks. I was just wondering about the magic JC said he was going to do for the chosen few. Should have kept the old kids.

For the record, Mamas Boyz has played in A brackets this season as well, so they do not go into B brackets and just pummel teams.
As for the coaches, they are wonderful coaches, who actually play every kid on the team, and also play 2 goalies. To blame a good group of kids and coaching for another team getting blown out is comical. Practice more or don't play in tourneys.

There is no need to run up the score on a team just because you can. Clearly, your son learns his sportsmanship from you. The coach needs to control the game and teach the players to win with dignity. If they are going to enter B divisions, they should have a plan in place for situations that arise so that other players don't become discouraged. To say that it's the other team's fault for being a weaker team is disgraceful.

aside from the coaches asking the boys to literally not shoot the ball the entire 2nd half (which does nothing for either team or the game), what would you like them to do? he sat his top players as much as he could, passed the ball around, ran some plays for time. I mean really guy.
We got mopped up at Blatant in an A bracket and we didn't blame anyone. We brushed it off and moved on. I suggest you do the same.
