Is BBL a good team?

Yes. 2020 BBL beat 2020-ish Primetime last weekend in Del by one goal. Competitive but sloppy game for both sides.

FL$ 2020 made huge improvements last year and will be tough, but not un-beatable. They have played a cupcake schedule so far this fall.

Next Level is also very solid and on any given day could beat any of them.

This should be a very competitive bracket.

But bear in mind, it is only the fall season.

BBL also lost on Sunday to the Outlaws from L.I., and they are not strong in the 2020 year at all.. Outlaws got soundly beat in their other 2 games.

LIE or LIE North?

The holdback issue came full circle this weekend. The LI Express 2019 team beat the Ed*e team from Canada and it wasn't very close. They played dirty after being down 3-4 goals early and were never in the game. But, what stood out to me was how some of these kids used to be so physically imposing and were now just cheap shot artists who could no longer compete with kids who have caught up in development. Yes, they are still a year or two older but it doesn't matter anymore. No one needs to wonder why programs like Hopkins have been struggling, they have been recruiting kids like these and hoping it works out. The JH commit was hitting kids late and futility slashing. The kids said their coach apologized after the game for the cheap shots but regardless, the page has turned on that team. The result of playing against younger kids is standing out in the short term, so I guess until colleges stop recruiting so early, this will continue.

Prime time swept . 2021, 2022, 2023. Divisions and went 500 at 2025

Next Level clearly the best team in this bracket by a very wide margin i would say goal dif should be +25

PrimeTime at Fall Bulldog showed despite the slow starts of many of their young teams the past couple years, by the time they start getting to 6th grade, PT teams start to pull ahead of other clubs. Players want to go where other top players have gone. Other clubs chipping away but not there yet.

Leading the holdback push not really something to celebrate.

The Yorktown boys had a fun day of lacrosse at the Gobbler Games on Sunday. Three exciting games and lots of laughs. Thanks to the John Jay guys for running the event and handing out those shiny trophies and medals.

Nice day for Yorktown 8th grade upsetting Prime Time, I mean John Jay. Gobbler was a lot of fun but unfortunately many "town teams" had more than a few out of town elite club players. Once again proving that people have abandoned playing among their friends from town just so they can show how awesome their club buddies are. The fun continues to get sucked out of the game. Oh, and Yorktown won because despite being half the size they played like a team rather than the Prime Time, I mean John Jay, approach of just trying to pound it in one on one.

I'm guessing most of the Yorktown kids play for the Ballers, no? But yes, the JJ/PT one on one style of lacrosse continues to serve them well against Yorktown at all levels. They always seem have one anointed superstar at each grade level. That being said, Gobbler Games are just meant to be a fun, fast paced day of lacrosse at the end of the season. Which they are, and getting better each year.

There was 3 non John Jay kids on the team, apparently because they couldn't get enough JJ kids to play.

Who cares anyway, Yorktown beat them fair and square, they played great as someone mentioned earlier. And its supposed to be a fun tournament which it is.

I guess you were there??? The John Jay team had 3 outside players, two that play on PT the other for Eclipse....so what? JJ did not have enough players due to the holiday, who else is out there that they should have called that would make you happy??

What you failed to see was that both teams were having a ball, they are all friends and it was a great, competitive game! Why are you looking to cause trouble where there is none? Parents hugged each other afterward...,you're a jaxkass.

Way to put a bad spin on what was a fun day of lacrosse!

and so it begins, sure a fun day, love those, but if outsiders used it will be called out on here, try to justify it all you want...
just please try and keep the kids jersey numbers out of it, where they can be singled out.

Wait..next someone will come on here and suggest JJ8 had a PT holdback playing for them.

Gobbler Games has always been viewed as a fun first, second and third tournament. Sure its competitive but its between town teams. If its morphing into a win at all cost event, we won't be back. Yorktown Dad & organizer.

Since the only Yorktown team that came was an 8th grade team, and as the Gobbler Games does not include 9th grade and higher....it's not too difficult to say you wont be back....

I'm a Yorktown Dad with more than one son in the program. I'm hoping my younger son gets a chance to play in future Gobbler games. Keep it fun.
