BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) WSYL NEW RULES

So what you are saying is you can't wait to see how a TRUE 2020 kid stacks up against looneys and 91 fogo HOLDBACKS? Wait aren't you contradicting yourself? Those kids are supposed to be rising 10th graders and you want them to go against a TRUE rising 9th grader. You sound like a fool. Get your fact straight before you choke on your own ignorant words. Those fogos from Looneys and Crush are A FULL YEAR OLDER than the Fogo on TAZ! Sooo what is your point?? Are you trying to say He went against kids his own age and WON? Unless that's your point you have no idea what you are talking about. Look at the proof!! He went against kids more than a whole head taller, that weighed more, and we're the same age if not OLDER, and he beat them. Too bad you weren't there to see it because if you were you wouldn't be spewing nonsense!

The WSYL website shows the highest point makers for Igloo all weekend have fall '02 birthdays. That is a holdback on Long Island - they should be 2020's (8th) and they are playing down in 2021.

The crying in here from the igloo parents is hysterical. Like a early post you can't change age which is why an age based tournament is more transparent. To sit here and continue to say 8th graders bet up 7th graders, don't your kids play JV? So your 7th grader played 10th graders and you pounded your chest. SMH at the craziness on here. You lost get over it and it wasn't a pretty loss either.

TAZ fogo was dominant, but he was not born in Oct 03 as it said on the roster. Some of the fogos he faced were his age and some were almost a year younger. Those are the facts. How he does against the better 2020 fogos this season remains to be seen, but I think he will hold his own. He is one of the top 3 2020s on LI.

Website had FO kid oct 2003,birthday, is it right or wrong.

LI is using holdbacks now. Pot meet kettle.

Rather not make the semi's with a legit team rather than use holdbacks.

Stay classy Holdback Island.

Maybe make the semi's before your start yapping MD nation.

Just so you know there is no way this crying as you are saying is someone from Igloo. The parents for both groups stayed at the same hotel, and were supportive of each other the entire time. Both teams took quality players and both teams made it to the final. This in itself was not a easy task. There were some serious teams in this event. With 8 very long games over three days this tourney was intensive. But the fact is most teams who put together teams specifically for this event did better then teams that did not. This is because of the age differences. Now you can look at one or two kids from every team that participated and say that kid is a little older, but the fact is that legacy had more kids that just met the cutoff then any other program. That is a fact. It's not crying, it's completely within the rules. But it is still a fact. Next year I think you will find ever club doing this, and then you will see a much bigger average of player on all teams. That will truly even the playing field. As it should be.

What you didn't see on TV. When Mad Dog West walked by Igloo during the opening ceremony - the coaches and the entire team turned around and gave them high 5s as they walked by - and every team after that. The Igloo Parents in the stands stood up and cheered for Mad Dog west as they walked by.

Igloo and Mad Dog had 2 very competitive games against each other.

Before the game started - The igloo players spotted Team Isreal in the stands and acknowledged them. Team Israel boys went nuts cheering for igloo.

Trust me - it was about the experience. Not the gold or silver medal.

Igloo should be proud.

LI is not only the leader in carports, now they are the leader in holdbacks.

Team Israel was from Florida, Maryland and Connecticut. All US kids. Not a single person from Israel. This only further demonstrates what a joke this circus is becoming. Can we take a pole as to what sham national team is created for next year?

Team Iraq next year. Hillary will let anyone in.

Heard they had 8 kids from Israel on the team. They are trying to grow the sport of lacrosse in Israel. You should also see what team Israel does outside of lacrosse that is also great. It's hope that one day lacrosse becomes their national sport in Israel.

Let's see who's crying next week! Bet it won't be Igloo parents. Enjoy your "win", probably won'y see one of those again!

I'm guessing this clueless parent is from Maryland who is somehow able to turn a blind eye to the Crabs 2020 team. It almost embarrassing to watch 3 or 4 of their players compete against age appropriate 2020. (One middie 44 and one defensemen 25 in particular.) But I guess as long as their parents are proud of them playing down then that's all that matters. ....carports? really?

As per their roster, all players seemed to have American hometowns except for two, which simply had none listed. Highly unlikely 8 of them were from Isreal. Instead it was a team of jewish american kids.

Middie is old and committed to UNC. #25 is an August birthday and played in the WSYL last year. Great kid and most here in MD don't consider August birthdays "holdbacks" Also, not a crabs parent. BTW, the biggest joke is the big attackman. Will be 16 soon if not already.

What's wrong if a country allows dual citizenship and a player is able to represent, as opposed just a club team based in the US? If it's the 'world series' then countries can go and to be part of it can be a great experience.

Are you telling me if your son/daughter develops to be a great player later on, has dual citizenship with another country, BUT cannot represent the US in world play or maybe Olympics, you would shun the opportunity to participate? Dual citizenship is already going on at the older world level, but we don't hear you complaining about that scenario.

I think a country entering this year a good step forward and I give the team credit for attending as the only represented country, knowing full well the level of competition.

The only downside at this age level is finding the players for the less skilled countries. But it's gotta start somewhere and that's great.

Unfortunately, for whichever club owner who decides to create a mega-uber team called "TEAM USA: a division of 88+3, NLF Affiliate and Conglomerate, Expressly coached by the Biggest Four Leading Edge and Crabby D-I Alumni with the intent to create a Leggicy for Dunkin Donuts"....that owner will either be guaranteed to make a fortune from the parents and dominate the tournament for years, or make the event spontaneously combust.
