No Taz or Wolfpack. I see no real reason for them not be fairly successful.

We get it. If you don't play for Taz or Wolfpack, you should quit playing lacrosse. Over and over again. We all got it!!

It's going to be hysterical when 2025 Blast wins this weekend! What will you all say then?

No shot against Tazboards or Express

So Taz and Wolfpack are both playing Blatant and guess what...WP are playing up and Taz is playing for a tee shirt. Unreal.

I beg to differ.

Ducking geese and express channy

I get it, duck, duck, goose... really, the geese were o-fer last season and Express were less of a challenge. And how do you figure they are ducking 2025 Express by playing 2024 Express. Explain that to me.

I just saw that every A team in that organization is playing up. So according to you, every one is avoiding their year. These teams may get beat , but I admire people challenging themselves. Come springtime, when lax is in full swing, no football/soccer conflicts 3 or 4 times a week. All these teams will play each other several times. Worry about your own son chief. Wishing 9 year old kids to get beat down, that shows what type of person you are.

If anyone here thinks the Blast or Geese can even compete with the Taz\WP at a tournament you should leave the sport now because you are as clueless as they come. Not only would there be a 15 goal difference but they would get hurt physically. I've seen all 4 teams play and its not even close. You have all lost your minds. You don't know how good these 2024 teams are until you play against them. Speed and IQ are light years ahead. I've watched Blast\Geese kids run away from a ball instead of getting hit. This is not something you see on Taz \WP even during last years season. Stay on age until you are ready or watch your kids come off the field stunned by what just happened to them. Unnecessary across the board

how do you know?

Playing up makes a lot of sense if you look outside the microcosm of Long Island lacrosse. When you take a LI team down to Maryland, every kid is bigger than them. Just a fact and Im not going to bother speculating as to why that is.

Regardless, when the kids play against bigger kids they have to use skills they may not need against kids their own age. Simply put - move the ball or get crushed. It is a good way to see what breaks on your team when faced with kids who are physically more powerful than yours. It is a smart move.

Exactly! Do you think 5th graders WANT to play 4th graders who think they are all that? I hope Blast gets their a$$ kicked. Stay in your own year A bracket. You have good competition in this tournament. You deserve an A$$ wiping if you play up.

It makes no sense if you look outside the microcosm of Maryland. If you get beat up bu big kids on LI or Md, you're still getting beat up by big kids. And, to your argument, if size was the only concern, then move to the B divisions so that you're not wasting the time of the A division teams.

Its a no win situation for them...

and you all know 2025 Express A is not getting ducked under any circumstances. Those folks who think that can quack IF they ever beat the Geese. After that then they have earned a shot at the Blast. Saying that Blast is avoiding them is just foolish.

Blast won 5-3 last year vs Express...you are acting like Blast are so much better.

Express, at any grade level, is a joke. Go back to your own thread.

Express 2025 team is made up of Manahassett kids that beat Blast last year

2022 is Express A is the best team in the country. 2023 Express A is top 5 or 6.

2024 A just lost 10-1.

All these so called 2024 A teams had better soundly beat the 2025 team, thats all I can say. If they lose, the mommies and daddies will all have lots of explaining to do at work when they try to spin how this happened to their little Pannell.
