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.

the 2 groups that lost at UA last week. But I he group that loses the most is the island as a whole because of nasty parents as yourself. You are the problem even more that the clubs and coaches, you're just to "moronic" to understand that

In regard to the other regions getting better, more kids are playing and they are def getting better every year. That NE command team was very good, with that being said and making no excuses, they had kids from 7 diff states on the team. LI is more concentrated though, like in hs lax, md,va,nj,pa,and li have better teams due to their depth. Not looking to start any fights, lot of good teams and players around the country, and its only going to get better. Enjoy the kids and the game.

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.

No question. I was surprised by the leap the West made. They were much better in both age groups this year. In 5 years, look out.

LI lost 3 games. They were inconsistent from game to game; too much me ball on offense (although lots of talent); mids and D didn't slide for each other and the goalies were just mediocre. No telling what would have happened if they hadn't been caught using an illegal stick. So let's not crown them champions but for the use of illegal equipment.

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.

How many YJs on the team? assume they knew how to play together? what teams had more than 1 practice? Why r there ALWAYS excuses? If you lose 3 of 6 games, and the eventual champion goes 7-0, beating you twice including one time that wasn't much of a game 12-6 and wasn't ever really in doubt (yes the semi-final game could have gone either way and yes the NE team came back with only a few minutes to go but don't they deserve some credit for that?) don't you just tip your cap and say at least for this tournament "the better team won"? I think you will find it's cathartic. Very likely, the next tournament a group of LI girls will win, because they are great players and great competitors. It just wasn't this week. It's ok.

BTW, that good DC team that you split with 7-8 & 10-9, played 3 other games. Those scores: 10-9 over NJ, 13-8 over Midwest and 14-8 over Southwest. That team that LI I guess shouldn't have lost too, NE, also played those 3 teams. The scores you ask? 18-9 and then 17-5 against NJ, 17-5 over Midwest and 19-6 over Southwest. I think the NE team was pretty darn good. Going by all the scores, the aberration was actually the tight game between LI and NE the 2nd time. All the other scores, including the 12-6 drubbing earlier in the tournament, point to NE being the best team in the tournament. Watched the DC team play twice, against LI and against Midwest, didn't think they were as good as you say.

Give them credit, the G8 has two top brackets in every age group, the Yellowjackets put all the B teams (Mitchell and other age groups) in top brackets. All the other clubs have their B teams in the B bracket.

Mass Elite a solid team. I saw them at National draw. But still a step behind the 3-5 top club teams.

Um no. As stated, they were going to have bigger rosters and play everyone and therefore likely wouldn't beat the other top teams. Skywalkers and Heros -- 5 subs apiece and one goalie. Mass Elite, 21 players and 3 goalies. Different model. What happened to Heroes btw? lost to Maryland United and Steps Blue? Two teams Mass Elite beat. Strange. Maybe the top 3-5 teams aren't as good as you think? Anyone care to comment on the Yellow Jackets top team only going 2-1-2? With the only two wins against the Rebels and South Jersey select?

The only team that appears to have actually stood out this weekend was M&D. Kudos to them. The rest of your daughter's teams, not so much. a lot of parity. So I think I might tone down the chest pounding a little.

Hysterical listening to the Heroes parents after they lost handily to Maryland United. Goalie dad actually yelling at his daughter from the sidelines berating her for letting in a "soft" goal. Rather pathetic.

You do know some people work at night, or work a swing shift at places like hospitals, firemen, police officers, or even as construction workers? Just because someone does not fit into one of your narrow minded little pigeon holes does not make them "pathetic", but your statement definitely makes you ignorant, and pathetic.

No "'ship" in the Capital Cup. It's a showcase only...for recruitable aged players. LOTS of college coaches who DO NOT care who's winning or what the score is, as it should be.

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.

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?

Whether any program is right for you is a personal decision based on a lot of factors but Liberty was a great choice for us and our daughter. As far as coaching, DG is absolutely a top coach who is certainly more experienced and on top of the game than many college coaches.
