BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Boys 2025- 4th Grade Fall 2016/ Summer 2017

Actually the team that beat Blast at Hershey was mostly 2026's. They called themselves 2025 because 3 of their kids were 2025's. Blast and Orange are the same team, just changed name and a few mid-level players. Anyone who tells you different is being silly.

What's in a name? A rose by any other name would still get beat by town teams.

3 good kids were swapped out for 3 different good kids. Don't make excuses.

I was at that Hersey Tournment there was 2 of those teams orange and blast , 1 coach is a HS ref and the other was a big guy , sachem beat both and beat the better team in a braveheart.

So the 4th graders got a big win?

Who else has teams at this age. Below is the teams my sons team played or played in the same tourney.

Blast only team?
Geese plus a solid B team
Express has 2
Ducks has 2
Tomahawks
24

Hey good for the town team beating $2600 club team. At that age club teams should be that much money it just all comes down to $$$$ I bet if that town team plays together till H.S sure they can beat club teams .

it was two years ago with their older team so now your talking about 2nd grade results you loser

Sachem probably putting up a banner in town. Not much else to celebrate there

Sachem got better and would probably only lose to the geese.blast would be a 3rd runner up

Thats not accurate. Some kids left for Ducks, some for Geese and the new "Blast" team brought in around 8-10 new kids along with 3 new coaches. When you change your entire coaching staff and half your roster you are a new team.

Every team makes roster changes. That doesn't change the team. Next year when they swap out another 6 kids will they change their name again?

That SYAG team does recruit. Both in and outside of Sachem. Sachem youth lax has SYAG, SSC and Sachem Rising all competing, plus half of those do travel. So recruiting is expecting because what I have learned regardless of club, pal, town select teams... it's all about winning for the parents and coaches. That used just be club, now it's everywhere at every level. You at this thread debating a game that took place 16 months the ago when the kids just finished 2nd grade.

Not sure what team you are referring to Blast did not bring in 3 new coaches that was 2 years ago ..... they brought in 5 new kids ...... good luck to you keep chasing the 4th grade dream ....

Whats wrong with you people, arguing games 2 seasons ago. I was there. Orange beat syag day 1. Day 2 ,syag beat orange on a braveheart. Who gives a sh*t. I can't believe there are actual people still thinking and talking about that.

Amen to that

How old are you guys? Seriously arguing about kids who were in 2nd grade at the time?

Actually the team that beat Blast at Hershey was mostly 2026's. They called themselves 2025 because 3 of their kids were 2025's. Blast and Orange are the same team, just changed name and a few mid-level players. Anyone who tells you different is being silly. [/quote

So we should all expect to see Sachem SYAG 2026 playing and winning in 2025 at "the fest" this year. If not, get over to the 26 thread and say how great they are.

The syag team was and still
Is a 2025 team! They are a combination of geese kids and a couple others with real talent ! Watch out people they don't like to loose !!!

The 4th graders don't like to lose? Oh, unlike all the kids who DO like to lose! They're different like that. Unfortunately, you're a buffoon!!

Wait, you're talking about 90+1, right? And this is their top team? And they've lost to how many town teams in the last few years? I'm sure they're a good team, but I thought that no 90+1 team has ever been beaten by a town team unless it was the top team playing up. Are you sure this team wasn't playing up in these tournaments?

Blast and Orange are absolutely two different teams. Orange was made up of anyone that registered as a second grader. They had a handful of 1st graders on the team when they started and did not do much of anything. Coming into 3rd Grade, Joe Spallina put his name (and his kid) on the team and partnered with another big 91 coach... 65 kids later at a tryout, the team was full of more talented kids. Virtually any kid who was on from inception played on the "white" team last year until that fell apart this year. Be realistic... SYAG is good, but they are not even in the ballpark with Blast. Especially 2026 SYAG.

SYAG will beat Blast if they play them. Blast is only a goal or two better than Igloo or Express and that will likely change by the summer. SYAG beats both of them now and will beat Blast.

Can everyone just go easy on Blast please? That team has it tough. Do you think it's easy being the stepchild of the organization? Most "orange" teams are untouchable for the first 3-4 years and then everyone catches up. A lot of their teams play up in most fall/spring (and many summer) tourneys until 6th grade. Blast does not fit that mold. They've been good, but have lost several games every year (yes, even to town teams) and now they have been passed by Geese. They played up this fall and were completely outclassed on every level by mediocre teams. The truth is, the field has caught up to them already. They will likely still be a top 5 team after summer tourneys, but certainly don't hold the swagger of the past teams. Even putting JS's name on the team (making it the 6th most important lax team he coaches) couldn't save them.

Let's be clear, being a top 5 team is an incredible thing (even in a down year overall). They should be proud. The kids play hard and will win a bunch, but the parents just can't accept the reality (hence the "that was orange, this is Blast comments).

I think we are witnessing the demise of "orange". They can't even keep a 2nd team at the younger grades (2024 and under) and are becoming too expensive. The product just isn't what it was a few short years ago.

Legs will be the new big kids on the block. That program is on the rise. Taz, Geese and they grades to come are all solid teams. And they cost a lot less!

. . . or maybe they don't like to "LOSE" . . .?!

Then SYAG should enter in the fest and play against Blast, Geese and whomever else.

SYAG sucks. Go home back to your meth lab

Geese will crush them

Crazy [lacrosse]!! This was over two years ago. SYAG hasn't
even played Blast. Stop talking [lacrosse]!!

Blast will fall apart after this season when everyone jumps ship after they lose to multiple teams this spring. Commack dad and your crew will be fishing for whitefish at sunken ghetto next summer. Lmao

Well I guess field didn't catch them last spring and summer when they won around 30, 35 games and lost 2. Oh yeah and in those wins, 2 and 0 against bethesda and 4 and 0 against geese. Yeah that sounds mediocre to me. I like how you slipped geese into your story. Lol. Get over it. Its little kids playing youth lacrosse. Go shopping for the holidays, do something.

SYAG=WT
SYAG dad-a-[lacrosse]

SYAG dad is probably just some loser who's poor kid couldnt even make the 3rd middie line on the Geese so he has to brag about 2nd grade glory days.

Yeah, because clearly you don't take it seriously, Mr Stats. Look on the bright side, when all of the best kids jump ship after this season your son may actually see some field time. Maybe, just maybe, even score a goal.

score a goal?most of the blast kids view the playing field from the sideline.they have 12 cheerleaders paying $2400 a year.9 dee one should be wearing a mask

Funny how many geesers are from Sachem so that said maybe Syag has a better shot vs Blast than Geese based on the last five times the teams have played Blast won

This is a forum about 9 year olds . . . ?!!!

Say what you want, you'll see in the spring. We're practicing 3-4 times a week all winter. Do you think anyone else puts in that much work? That's why Blast won't be beat. We'll be stronger, top to bottom , than most 5th grade teams, excluding Wolfpack, by the time summer gets here. Then you can all shut the [lacrosse] up.

who gives a [lacrosse] abt 4th grade lax....practicing 3-4 days a week your son must have a ton of friends in town because he has so much time to hang out with them after doing homework and practicing as much as he does...LOL ur a loser daddy!

9 year olds paracticing 3 - 4 x per week? Way to steal the childhood from your kid?

I'm a lot more concerned about the constant use of "we" . Kinda pathetic
