Express may shock you this weekend. They are a better team than you think. And next year if the top kids from O'Reilly ever move up they will be a very competitive A team. What did you do in 2 weeks? This weekend Igloo lost to WP in the the playoff 10-4 and Express lost to WP at NLF 12-3. The will need to get thru Laxachusette before they worry about Taz.

Does anyone realize that scores don't tell the entire story. Sometimes very good teams like TAZ and pack rest there best players in easier games. It's called strategy. If pack or TAZ wanted to run up on igloo or express they could

Don't forget the kids Schwalje and Channy are recruiting too. Sure some O'Reilly kids will move over but it won't be a mass exit because Channy needs the 2nd team to be solid or it will disband. That would mean less money for Channy and that's not how he works.

Looks like twenty four is going to try and steal a lot of those good players. They are a low cost program and they are praying on the lack of practices. Look out.

Having seen both teams I think express is better than Igloo. Laxachusetts is also very good. They lost to Bethesda 8-6 in Semis at NLF. I feel all teams are starting to level out. I also think all the teams need to play each other more.

If pack or TAZ wanted to run up on igloo or express they could We get it...Taz plays 12-13 kids when they play the likes of WP, BLC, Mad Lax and they play to win at all costs. That's fine, unless you are kid 14-22. Express on the other hand always plays every kid to help develop them all. Enjoy your sons tee shirts. You'll be washing your car with them in a few years.

He is setting up and easy road to the finals by skipping Taz/Laxachuttes.

I agree. Tryouts should be sept/oct. August common man. Let the kids enjoy those 5 or 6 weeks. Give families an opportunity to actually go on a family vscation, that isn't a lacrosse tournament. Season goes to end of july. Tryouts are 3 weeks later. Just incredible how sports has changed. The days of coming home from school ,going down the block and playing with your friends are long gone.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ and you will pay. Tryout for a team where your son will get the best coaching/training. Dont worry abt being on the BEST team. Things change a lot when kids get into HS.

Schwalje is an amazing coach, period. As far as lack of practices-not true. Doesn't your kid play any other sports, or does he eat and breathe lacrosse year round. Look around buddy, top high schools and colleges have multisport athletes.

$$$$ grab. Have to go early now on tryouts. Kids make the team and the team holds them to a quick commitment. Teams that try out later in the month will have a MUCH smaller pool to chose from. Fact.

your wife clearly wears the pants in the family , and btw- schwalje parent- way to avoid the beatdown from taz They will play Sunday...it will be closer than you think Lol! Express is no where close to competing with taz or WP or BLC or madlax. They are in the big B bucket with oreilly, outlaws, igloo, TLI. Which is fine btw! Well buddy, they played in the finale of the Blatant Fall jam and it was 7-4 Taz. I wound say that is some what close now don't you think. seriously fall jam? legacy has practiced 75 times since then? schwajle maybe 10

Finally got to watch TAZ today and they are on a different level then any of the other teams at lax clash. Move the ball extremely well and are very unselfish. Fun to watch. Keep up the good work.
