Express 2024 won in both brackets, great job to them. Really unsure why there win is getting broadcasted, they should have won. One express team played a town team and the other a multi town town. The Express B team had some players helping them out from their other team, not cheating at all, they needed to fill roster spots. Express A won in a really exciting game that came down to last few seconds. Let express enjoy the W, they don't get too many when wp or taz are playing in same bracket. Haha ESM Mommy. Nice try but no cigar. Express B had no help at all from any outside team and they actually only had a 15 man roster for the finals due to other conflicts. Not one Express A kid played with them. Those boys were actually watching and cheering for them before they had to get ready for their own game. Leave the adding of players to the Longboards, that's their pathetic game.

LONGBOARDS=Napolean complex LIttle dad & little sonns & will do anything to win at all costs even with his "TOWN " team He needs to recruit as many horses as possible to make up for those little guys

The days are numbered for the little ones, move to attack ,then gone in place of bigger, faster, stronger atheletes.

afraid not. attack kids are getting bigger stronger and just as fast as the little guys.
same thing with defensemen. the size and athleticism of the kids at post h.s. level is amazing. that doesn't mean you cant enjoy watching your child play in these younger years, but if dad is 5'7 and mom is 5'0 its not a rosy picture for potential size.

The sport is being played by bigger, stronger athletes. Can a small fast player make it? Yes but they are far and few between and are rarely seen anymore. They also need to be a ridiculous player. 6'1 210-225 is an average size for a lax player at the higher levels. Not hard to look this up, check out any college roster and you will see the #s

Lots of leg strength.

Not hard to look this up, check out any college roster and you will see the #s Hofstra has 9 attack on their roster. 6 are below 6 feet. 2x are 5'8" and you know sizes are inflated. Similar story at Stony Brook. 6 of 11 attackers are under 6 feet.

So, you're correct that it certainly helps to be 6'+ and 200+ it definitely doesn't mean a smaller player doesn't have a shot to play at that level.

Denver has 22 of them on their roster and they are the gold standard

Again, being a big kid certainly helps, but there are plenty of smaller players that make it to that level. Arguing about it on a 2024 forum is a little ridiculous.

Molloy is not considered big at 6'; however, he's 220 pounds.

NO, Please, not this argument again!!!!!
Look at all sports, are the players any of them getting smaller?
Football? Basketball? Baseball? NOPE.
But lacrosse will buck the trend so the average kid size wise can still have a chance at glory in his parents minds. CooCoo.

Cavanaugh, bitter, sankey, manny, pannell. Those are just a few of the elite MLL players that come to mine. Bigger is better all other things being equal. And players today are bigger than they we in 70,80, 90s - but you could say the same about most sports.

while you see a lot of rosters with 5'10 or 11" . sure that's under 6' but huge difference between that size and say 5'3" or 4' kids. small and crafty? that's not going to help if you are really small. there are many big, fast strong and crafty kids.

Nobody said that being a bigger player doesn't give them an advantage. But, about half of all college rosters are kids 6' and under. To say that 10 year olds that are on smaller side now will never have a chance, makes you sound stupid and uninformed.

Wrestling? They had to create a superheavyweight class because there was too much disparity. Soccer players are longer, leaner and faster while carrying more weight. To argue against nature is just dumb, dumb, dumb.

no one is arguing against nature - no doubt kids are bigger now than ever before - and harder and harder for a smaller guy to compete against a 6 foot 4 long pole who can also run with the wind., however - there is some truth to the fact that 6 foot 4 may have a tougher time defending against a smaller attackman who is actually tougher to cover than a bigger guy due to the size. im not saying its the norm, but some of these kids can get so low, it makes it harder for these bigger guys
