BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Girls 2019-9th Grade Fall 2015 Summer 2016

I said it on the 6th grade thread, and I'll say it here. On the girls side, for the first time I can remember, a L.I. Team didn't reach the finals in school girls because of all the parents and coaches using ther club affiliations to to advance the girls they deem worthy. For any parent to come on here and say that there is no politics involved, is the problem, and are usually the same parents you see screaming on the sideline for their kid to go to goal, and care about nothing but there kids stats. This unfortunately poisons their kid. If instead of coming on here pounding your chest about your kids club, and how your kid is more talented then every other kid, you should be encouraging your daughter to try to make the "weaker" kids stronger, no matter which, if f any club they play for. But because of you parents Long Island girls lacrosse as is slipping into mediocrity, and this age group is a major contributor. Yes the other regions got better, but not because they're better athletes, but because they play better lacrosse, not better me-crosse that we have started playing on the island. I said it before when I was a kid I was proud to play on L.I. Not for some greedy club director. What you people don't get why is if yore kid is really one of the best they need no club to get into school, and if your kid is average then the work it takes to get on a college team is the same no matter what club you play for. Congratulations this age group has started the slide into being the lacrosse footnote

Your whole statement shows what a moron you truly are. First its the politics being the reason these teams did not win then its that other regions are better and play a better brand of lacrosse. Could it be that other regions have more kids playing the game than they used to and are actually getting more competitive. Again another moron claiming politics yet please tell us the group that benefitted from these politics.

what are you talking about ? LI Metro team 1 won Schoolgirls

Lets not over-react. LI Command was a stick-check away from winning the entire tournament. There was mixed talent on the team but that is always the case. They played very well.

Disagree. Had no idea how to play together since they only had one practice. Redeemed their first loss in the play-offs against a good DC team and should have redeemed their other loss to NE (eventual winner) when they were up by 2 with less than 2 minutes left. That game should have never gotten to an OT stick check, Do agree that there was mixed talent on the team and that hurts when you pretty much give everyone even playing time.

"Mixed talent" but let me guess, your kid was the best one, correct? The rest sucked.

Why were more teams added???! Especially rebels...

Mitchell took a beating today. 8-1... How's everyone else doing at G8?

Mass elite not so well

How is that possible? I thought after last week at UA this team was going to turn some heads as posted by their biggest fan last week.

Not as pathetic as posting at 1:38 am. Get a life.

Looks like all the major teams are at the IWLCA STX Capital Cup in VA this weekend. Whoever comes out of this one with the 'ship is true champion.

Notre Dame has reall accelerated their recruting timeline even compared to last year. For the 2018s, they did not have their first commit by design (wouldn't take commits) before their big recruit weekend the first weekend of September of the girls sophomore year. As of today, they have at least 5 2019 commits that I know of and are published on club websites - 3 from STEPS (one not published yet), 1 from YJs, and one from BBL in NJ. Amazing how things have accelerated. Sure hope the proposed legislation gets passed to push back the timeline.

any team coached by one of the top 10 HS program coach's is probably a pretty decent travel team, no?

My friend asked me and honestly I don't know as I don't have a daughter in this age group. Her daughter is on TG 2019 and is looking to switch. She said she was watching Liberty Black at Capital Cup and said they beat some good teams (NEMS, STEPS, etc.) and looked very good. How does Liberty Black 19 compare to YJ and other top teams in MD. She said Liberty 2019 is probably the 2nd best team on LI and was considering a move?
