Couldn't agree more. Thanks for your viewpoint.

HHH IS A MONEY GRAB...

Nxt tourney this weekend. Who's in it?

Why do you say that?

My son plays for Duke's Nationals. It is more travel but my son is all over me to get out to everyone of their mini camps.

I guess your kid got cut.

HHH = 50+ committed kids to D1 schools. They must be doing something right

cmon, when you attract D1 talent and the best kids in Philly you can't act like they are responsible for all that.

Do they really have 50 of there kids committed? I see other teams posting about kids committing and than you find out said kid guest played one tournament for them.

HHH Facts= 2017's 15+ commits, 2018's 15+ commits, 2019's 10+ commits

No club in the area comes close to those stats

Definitely worth the $$$

Just looked at there site and again amazing how many teams take credit for the same kids. Not bashing any of them but how are say Dukes and HHH both listing Moore as a recruit?

No different than 3D taking credit for a kid that just plays in one of their events.

oh yeah why did their top kids leave? the committed kids don't even play anymore

Nobody is disputing the fact they were once excellent.

HHH Facts= They have not one a single tournament at 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023 since they divorced from Dukes.

In fact if you look at their tourney machine scores they are getting their rear ends handed to them.

If you are going to pay that kind of $$$ the results would eventually show. The fact of the matter is that there are alot more club options than when they used to get all the top notch talent. The best kids are not blindly going to HHH anymore.

There are so many club options in Philly: Mesa, NXT, Team 11, Roughriders, Freedom, Team TEN, Brotherly Love, Bulldogs, Elevated Dukes, LIttle Dukes, Dukes South, Dukes North, Dukes East, Dukes Nationals, Dukes Just Give Us Your Money, ....getting the idea?

Please tell me that wasn't the dukes national team for 2022 yesterday. If it was they have a lot of recruiting to do.

Dukes national 2022 lost to Express 11-6

What tourney did they play

HHH and Mesa still have the best coaching and recruiting network in philly. All others are wannabes.

That is quite the generalization. If HHH and Mesa still have the best coaching and recruiting why do teams like Freedom, Brotherly Love, and Rising Sons consistently prevail against them. At some point all that good coaching would pay some dividends don't you think.

Let's be honest, HHH in particular avoids playing the local club teams. At least Mesa has the balls to go toe to toe with against the local talent. HHH would rather get their [lacrosse] handed to them in Long Island than locally otherwise they would be exposed and the mystique would be gone.

You realize they aren't afraid of playing outside of Philly, right?
They're getting beat by real teams in real tourneys. Not the local stuff.
Go on the Island and play some real teams. We will check your tourney machine scores too.
Get out of Philly and go play. Or don't and show all the other daddies on Facebook how little johnny and his buddies won Summer Slam.

That is false. NXT to their credit hosts great local tournaments and their participation amongst the top club teams in the country is second to none.

Look at NXT Cup which takes place locally and is a top notch tournament. Team 91, Long Island Express, Crabs, Bethesda, Laxachusetts, Leading Edge, Igloo, All of Canada, and the rest of the East Coast is at this tournament but where is HHH considering it is in their back yard. So you can't use the "lack of competition" excuse.

In fact all the other NLF teams have attended that tournament but no HHH....that is because you guys are hiding.

the only tourneys NXT can win are their own-and they put themselves in the easiest groupings every time! so obvious to everybody. Not fooling even 5th graders.

True. Great tourney. Good teams.
So play that competition for a six week summer schedule.
That's the point.

NXT high school teams are legit. Their youth teams have been average at best but are improving.

Not any more. Keep telling yourself that because your kid finally made one of those teams. Its all been changing.

The point is that NXT also has Meltdown which is a few weeks before NXT Cup and takes place in Downingtown, PA and had more Philly and MD based teams than NY.

At the youth level they had:
BBL, Bethesda LC, Looneys, Mesa, Brotherly Love, Blue Star, Team 91 MD, and HardCor from Canada.

Definitely a notch below NXT Cup; however, do any of the HHH teams beat any of the teams listed above and all of them are good to very good.

Six weeks of getting your [lacrosse] handed to you in June and July traveling to LI while their friends are at the beach....that is why your tryouts were so lightly attended.

Again, All the respect for what HHH once was and in my opinion the best middle school teams in the country but it is different now and if they are to regain their status as best club team in Philly it starts with beating the best teams in Philly.

Guess your little snowflake didn't make either team. Since its changing so much, who's the best in your humble opinion?

Weighing in on this one.

We have quite a few snowflakes around our neighborhood that made both HHH and Mesa at various times and both those teams are chasing Freedom, Roughriders, and Brotherly Love.....Been discussed before ad nauseam but it seems to me the "dad" based model despite pros and cons is prevailing in Philly until High School then it shifts.

Sounds like HHH is being called out to me.....

The To Philly Teams

2025 Freedom
2024 Brotherly Love
2023 Brotherly Love
2022 Freedom
2021 Mesa

It is awesome that your team can win the Blue Hen classic and the Melt Down. It is really impressive. Those tournies always bring in the best competition. The Patriot games still has some slots open, should try to get in that one.

The comment " six weeks of getting your [lacrosse] handed to you while your friends are at the beach" says a lot about the person who posted.
So much better to play teams that suck so that you can post
how great your team is on your website.

Just looked at Meltdown teams from 2016 and they are nowhere near the talent level of HHH. Please-don't even begin to compare those teams to any of the HHH teams.

Our teams won 3/4 at Blue Hen 2016 and you know what you can only beat the teams that are there. Decent competition and 3/4 aint bad. What has HHH done you still haven't answered the original question.

Blue Hen, please. Who did you beat, Lax World? Prime Time? Give me a break.

That is the point nobody can tell what the talent level of HHH is anymore because they go out of their way to not play the local teams. We can only beat the teams that go to the tournament however we also play the national teams as well.

But lets take a look at your NLF Summer Series from last year.

HHH Results
2024 Didn't even field a team

2023 Loss to 91 Bandits 18-1
Loss to 91 Warriors (there B Team) 12-5
Loss to Laxachusetts Green (there B Team) 9-8
Finally beat Team Superstar 14-4 but they are neither super nor stars

2022 Beat Leading Edge Elite 6-4 that team isn't good and you know it
Loss to LIE 10-5
Tie Express 8-8 Bad Long Island Team
Loss to 91 Smash 9-2
Loss to Superstar 9-2

2021 Loss to Eclipse 8-7 You think that Eclipse is good?
Finally spank someone Long Island Outlaws 9-1 U think they are good?
Loss to Laxachusetts A Team 12-2
Beat them in Losers Bracket 7-6 that is actually impressive good going

2020 Seams to be a good team went 3-1

2019 You came in last and didn't win a single game won't post the scores.

Again, once great but the original post was $$$ money grab...change the club name to Little 4 and one "H"

Agreed HHH is fading, its like all these Penn State people trying to believe that Penn State football is still relevant

Everyone is impressed that the Rising Sons beat : LI Bluefish,Dirty Jerseys,Team United, Team 201 and the predators.
That is awesome.

HHH is LOSING to other NLF B teams.

Rule Number 127:

If your Varsity Team cannot beat Junior Varsity Teams then you are not
Allowed to brag about your recruiting connections and superior coaching. In fact
You should say nothing because that says it all

This is actually funny, Sons will be back at the top again at their 3 age groups. Dirty Jerseys, hahahaha

When is the RS twitter feed going to shut down for good?

Just unfollow, I know its hard to but try.

That is laughable and what's more funny is the poor poor parents who don't know it's all done after this year! The 22 and 23 coaches have agreed to try and hold on but TD is out! How can their 21 team be the best when Mesa is clearly the best followed by HHH and Freedom? And their 22 and 23 teams don't have a shot against Freedom and Brotherly Love.....PROPAGANDA MACHINE!
