Wasn't an express parent who wrote it but good try. Was an observation watching your mother's slurring there words at the food truck.. Ordering burgers like drunk animals whIle the kids play in the field. Total trash bags. As for the coach, he won't make it through the season. He has a heart attack in his future if he doesn't lose 100lbs.

Just an observation -but that rvc town team beat Outlaws select easily.Then played Express A tight ,and was told some of there better players played for Express in that game. Thats a good town team!! & Not from rvc next town over

Outlaws A is no longer in the conversation regarding ANY "A" Team. Its over.

Rolled by a town team. To future Outlaw parents, save your $ invest it in college.

Without a coaching change at Outlaws Select nothing else you mentioned will happen. I predict a mass exodus if the coach doesn't leave. The boys hate playing for him...sadly. They are only 11 and should be having fun, but they aren't and it is obvious.

You obviously have know idea what you are talking about. Outlaws Select hit a rough patch last weekend. Some people are making it like they were beating Taz and Wolfpack the last few years. Besides last week they have always played the bottom half of the A group closely. We have a tight knit group of kids and parents. There me be one or two parents who are cancers on the sideline but that is on every team. The coach knows who they are and how to deal with them. No coaching change is needed. He just needs some help. Type A personality and he tries to do it all on his own. My son knows this team is not the best but it's the coach he keeps returning for. Can he be a little more supportive of the kids when a mistake is made absolutely but this is the real world we are living in. If you go to work everyday looking to get a pat on the [lacrosse] for doing a good job you better wake up. My kid also plays other sports which at 11 years old is important not sure if kids on the elite teams have time to play other sports or even enjoy their youth.

It is set up for 91pack to win

Of course, MM is helping the 9d1 teams by putting Madlax, Taz, and Hawks in the same pool. But let's say Madlax goes 3-0 (which is a big IF, because Taz and Hawks are both great teams), and Wolfpack goes 3-0. That would mean 91pack likely plays Taz in semi and likely plays Madlax in final. There is no easy road to the championship for any of the teams. Going to be a slugfest for everyone.

Hawks are just not that good. Madlax will cruise over them with full roster in attendance. Looneys beat them in Spring and they only won 2 games all year.

Hasn't Madlax gotten spanked by 91 NY in the past?

Not from RVC? That's a joke.
Which loud mouth were you?

Defense is bigger (new kids) and the FO middie is now 6'3. He'll draw 3 kids on his way to the rack and dump it down if he can't get his hands free. Best bet is to shut him off and then they will spread out the rest of the offense and work the best match ups.

I watched the rvc/express game as i have friends on both. Even though express won every face off .rvc kept it close.I saw no difference in skill level. especially on the offensive side. it looks like express has a couple of week links on what could be a very strong club team.

Nobody cares RVC Daddy

Anyone notice the recent changes to the Elite 8 divisions? Now BL, Madlax, Hawks, and Taz are in same division, while 9d1 NY & MD are in division with arguably two weakest teams in tourney (Igloo & BLC). BL used to be in their division but they swapped them out for Igloo. That's down-right disappointing 9d1! Don't stack the divisions in your favor to increase chances of being in championship bracket. Pull up your skirt and balance out the divisions!

Prob because he hear Brotherly Love will be bringing a few of their 2023s down again

If that's the case then they shouldn't be playing. However, assuming that's an assumption and not based on fact, they should keep divisions evenly balanced as much as possible, based on what they know to be the true. Madlax and Hawks finished 1 and 2, respectively in HOCO league and Taz beat up on 9d1 in NY this spring-- what sense does it make to put those 3 teams plus BL in one division while putting Igloo (not good, shouldn't be in tourney) and BLC (went 2-7 in HOCO league) in their division. Essentially guaranteeing them a spot in championship Sunday. Meanwhile arguably best 4 teams in tourney will beat up on each other on Sat. leaving two of those good clubs playing in consolation games on Sun. Sad... Someone should say something to tournament directors...oh, nevermind.

Now you've got 3 of the 4 best teams in one division and 3 of the 4 worst in the other. Enough said.

Agree. BLC and Igloo should not be in same division, unless trying to ensure at least one of them gets a win, but that can happen on Sunday. 9d1 teams should be in different divisions, as should Hawks and Madlax since they already played each other twice.
WP, BL, Hawks, and BLC in one division. 9d1MD, Madlax, Taz, and Igloo in other division. WP and Taz just played each other twice so no need for them to be in same division. Same for Hawks and Madlax. Madlax beat BLC 3 times this spring so no need for them to be in same division. Make sense. I see WP, BL, Madlax, and Taz in Sunday final. Should make for a good championship bracket.
