What does your bad image of BL stem from?

Waaaaaahhhhhhh

"All the kds from Unionville that jumped the boarder to play for Kennett, they were going for or one reason, Nurry"
So are you admitting to breaking rules in the CCLA???

Please let it go. Why can't you just let it go for all of our sakes. Why so bitter. This was covered ad nauseam. NXT tournament okayed Brotherly Love sharing players between A/B and as they were short players and didin't want to go outside the club to supplement. It was freakin June hot as [lacrosse] and 15 kids wasn't going to get it done. They pulled 5 kids that go between A/DB all the time.

I could see your point if they pulled there five best kids and moved them to the B Team then you would have right to [lacrosse]. Cmon, my son was one of them. He is a good player not great happy to play with A and just as happy to play with B. So their B team ended up winning the B championship as well. Sorry it happens did you really want the t-shirt that badlly I think I can dig it out from my garage.

Let it go pretty please

My kid isn't on either but have played both and think both have quality players and good programs. Not sure why the venom on both sides.


On another note, harvest classic schedule is out. People's thoughts on the groups and outcomes?

Surprised to see NXT in the group 4, I recall at their tryout they indicated they were going to play in A this year. Changed their mind after the freedom tournament?

Are you aware that CCLA allowed this as long as the parents and township sign a waiver to that effect? Ask the parents if they had to get a waiver. Must have been a reason.

Group 1:
BL AA
BBL Elite
Looney's Orange
Duke's Nationals

If Looney's Orange is their A, then I would expect them to take Group 1


Group 2:
SoutShore
Cavalier - Never heard of them
RS
BL A

Def BLA in this group, unless Cavalier is some LI team that I have never heard of

Group 3:
RoughRiders
Team 11
Team 91 (MD)
Looney's Green

Again not sure which is the "A" for Looney's, assuming orange, then I think this is Team 91

Group 4

NXT
BBL Helix
Freedom White
United
Headstrong
Rock PA
Team superstar

Haven't heard of a few of these, maybe Freedom here?

Dukes Nationals pulls from all over and a lot of Long Island kids. They will be very good and worth watching BL play them. Yes AA is higher than A

BL will follow the path of every dad run program that is not a full time business. Once their kids hit the 9th grade level and it becomes about recruiting they will not have the time needed or know how to assist all the kids in the program in this process. They will need to find an out for their players. It is exactly what Sons did with them and NXT. The question will be where do the BL kids end up. BL will no longer exist a few years after their kids age out just as what is happening with Sons.

So these kids are on also on clubs in their own area and come together for tournaments as Dukes Nat? Do they practice together?

They don't but that was the Duke's model when they were a powerhouse. Get the best kids together and watch them play. It is odd that the better LI kids would play when there regular travel team could beat Dukes.

Might be useful to have actual information before answering a question.

Yes they do practice once a month. As for the LI kids who play for them because "there [sic] regular travel team could beat Dukes" DN 2023 lost in OT to Igloo in Patriot Games this past summer. And if you watched that game DN was a faceoff guy away from winning that game. So you can act like they're some average team but they're on par with some of the (check the LI thread) best teams in the country.

so what, do it with kids in your back yard

My son plays for CT Chargers 2023. How does the Chargers teams do at tournaments?

Why?

Do you not attend his tournaments? I have never seen the CT chargers.

How is the Nxt tournament running. Will there be any cross group play? Seems that group 1 is AA, group 2 and 3 are A and group 4 is B. Will groups 2 and 3 play each other based on ranking?

Who cares what a bunch of great kids from all over the east coast can do. Makes no sense unless they are just playing to have fun.

Freedom is a Dad run program are they going to flame out soon?

Explain the dukes please...teams folding, team forming, what is the goal? I am sure someone is make money? Who is running it Madoff?

Sounds like a person that runs a full time business trying to make a go of it with just lacrosse....gonna pick a name out of a hat....MESA. C'mon there are so many mouths on that teat it is a wonder that some of you aren't already at the soup kitchen.

The only ones that badger the dad model are the full timers. The reality is the dad model is superior more often than not. You just sound to bitter about it not to be somewhat vested. Come out of the closet whereever you are.

Let's not forget that the best club out there in regards to pure numbers is 91 and you do know that Spallina is a dad coach that started it with his brother right....

How did Mesa and HHH do down in Bmore today?
