Is there a reason TG black is playing in B division at the US lacrosse Nationals? YJ blue is in A? They have been playing down lately

Games just started - first scores should be getting posted soon. It will be interesting to see if YJ Jones gets past Integrity in the pool play.

Is this a real question? They can only win in the B division. They played really weak competition this summer and as you can see avoided YJ and some of the better MD teams. It's so sad the lengths these LI clubs go to avoid playing each other.

2020 is u14 playing in u15 b division

TG only has 2 teams there playing in U15 division. You want to talk about a weak bracket? Take a look at the patsies the 2019 blue team is playing.

Well they're all playing each other tomorrow

I can't believe people burn a week of summer vacation to fly to play one of the weakest fields of the summer. What am I missing??

Sounds like you are missing the tournament for one. I would say there is nothing wrong with more Lax and more time spent with your daughter. This all goes by too quickly. I am not sure where this event will be next year, but maybe you can ask your club director to look into it. Maybe that would improve the field depending on the club you are with.

Yep, play on the "time with daughter" heart-strings...how bout vacation after a lonnnngggg summer season of travel lax? wouldn't that qualify as quality daughter time?..or is that one last tournament in Larry Birds stomping ground bringing the family closer?

Any reason why L ...Blue or Teal teams not at the US lacrosse nationals?

Wow with all this talk of a weak field in Indiana I was expecting the Yellow Jackets teams to be the last two 2020s standing. But it turns out that the actual Final Four is one YJ team + MD + CO + FL. The 2-loss YeLLow Jackets team is playing for fifth place in the consolation bracket.

Jones team is a shell of their former self, that is why they have played in weak brackets all summer. God forbid this team had to face Curcio! A number of jones girls looking for new teams.

Team 180 2021 (Colorado) 10
Yellow Jackets Gold 2020 9

The Integrity team is looking strong, but I think they have several 2021's on the team.

Jones will be fine. They have plenty of families that have been carrying CR's water for years paying for camps privates etc. She wishes every team was like this. Parents that support her. Pay for everything and have a coach that some parents control. Question is will they keep traveling around the country to play in low level brackets?

The simple truth is that the B teams are not what they used to be. Look at the college commits. The schools that B team players are "comitting" to, can be done without YJ. Many without travel.

Why does everyone (already hiding behind the "anonymous" name) use initials for people that are clearly being discussed? It makes no legal sense--- it's not like you aren't libel legally just because you poorly obscure the person being discussed. Its like little kids thinking they are using code words so they won't get in trouble. DK, SL, CR, some serious NSA stuff here...

Or, does the forum require users to poorly veil things? It reminds me of when Evander Holyfield got HGH delivered to his house but it was addressed to some other guy at that address named Evan Holy.... that pump isn't mine baby.

This said, it is gross when people do this with players (KIDS!). They don't say names but they are gross enough to discuss the player in such clear terms that there is NO WAY anyone involved isn't clear who they are talking about.

For the adults involved in the BUSINESSES of travel teams, they should be open game to some degree...

Looks like they got smoked by YJ Blue.

I don't think anybody is trying to avoid a lawsuit - it's just shorthand, same as YJ or TG.

And "strongARM" is just as anonymous as anyone else - not like you're signing your name.

I can't believe you come on this site to tell other people how to spend their money and time how very pompous of you . If you hate spending time with your kids and your kid hates playing lax and goofing around w her teamates then absolutely a big waste of time .

TG lost to YJ (by a lot) at the US lacrosse nationals
