I thought Thorne was the A team?

[quote=Anonymous]Once again... spin & spin. Congrats to Team
Wright sweeping and winning their division. Fantastic. Well deserved.
That said, team Thorne was in the top division and went 3-1. They did not lose to a scrub team. Had they won these two teams would NOT have faced each other in a final. Team Wright did mot
play Ultimate who went 4-0 in the A division in "winning iit
All". They played Steps Elite to "win it all" in their division. Stating this takes nothing away from team Wright as we are Very proud of them and this YJ win, but it does keep the facts as facts, not alternative facts. If you want to jump on the 1 loss as a disaster and claim the A team of Team Thorn should never lose that's fine....just stop the disingenuous spin. A good start for Thorn and great start for Wright. YJ.

This is a good start for Thorn? Really?

Above is simply a paragraph of FAKE NEWS. Must be a NY Times writer. Here is the true story... United beat Thorne, Wright Beat United, and then Wright beat STEPS to win Lax By the Sea.

Outsider perspective here: First of congrats to Wright, well earned and nothing better than being considered the "b" team (not saying your b level), and winning a tourn. Looking at the scores of the common opponents they were all 1 point wins/loses and as most of you with any common sense when you take your emotions out of the equation know, this probably means that the Thorn/Wright teams are probably pretty evenly matched. Now the question is; did Thorn start with better a little better talent and Wright caught up because of coaching and hard work? Thorn has been know to be extremely lazy when it comes to her club coaching duties. Or because of politics and FF the so called A team was watered down with siblings who are riding the coat tails of their big sisters and the favors their fathers have done for CR and her family.

This is well said and its the reason for all the bitterness. The FF plan A team is ridiculous. Just dont call it the "A" team. You have 2 yellow jacket teams. One has a great objective coach who develops girls as really good players. The other is just worried about who kisses his @#$ and will do you a favor. This is why people leave when they here they will be moving up to a no coaching team.

How are TG, Leg and Igloo doing this weekend? Are they playing?

TG lost to MD United @ Summer Classic

Was a great tournament playing great competition TG beat MD the day before and lost the final by one.

A couple of people left no big deal. Thorn is a good coach and will do a good job with the limited talent she has to work with.

Really? Limited talent. How can that be? She cherry picks the best kids every year. How bout the possibility that she's not such a good coach. Terrible chemistry on this team. Or is it a TEAM? ESM and everyone else.

Whos eating word now? LMAO

You are WRIGHT! No pun. How did Thorn do in the playoffs? LOL. I guess the nonsense stops now Huh?

And you my friend have place you money correctly. Wright wins Lax by the Sea

Funny, lowest bracket? Then how did they win the tournament? Oh, I guess by playing the other 2 worst teams in the semi's and finals. You dope!

With a favorable schedule this weekend at Laxin out loud Thorn will get this team going in the right direction. Be patient this is a work in progress.

No need to worry about Thorn as they will win their bracket this weekend and shut everyone up.

Dope, there were no good teams there. Talk to me when you play M&D Black, Heros A, and MD United. Give me a break with those second tier teams

This happened last year too. Wright won with ridiculous scores...

Give me a break when u mention MD United

[quote=Anonymous]Give me a break when u mention MD United

What kind of break? MD united won the Maryland spring league going undefeated beating both M&D black and Hero's green. You are another uninformed poster.

I think they meant MD Elite

[quote=Anonymous]I think they meant MD Elite

Elite is a solid team also. You'll see them at the youth national championship in Virginia

Glad to see another LI team competitive with The best MD teams. TG is a very skilled team and the championship could have gone either way being it was cut to 25 minutes. Should be a great summer of lacrosse for the girls in this age group.

Rediculous? Please give these scores. Don't recall and ridiculous scores??

They were really high I don't remember off hand .. but people complained they were in wrong bracket

I think it may have been you that was really high!

[quote=Anonymous]They were really high I don't remember off hand .. but people complained they were in wrong bracket

Look at the divisions at Laxin out Loud Thorn and Wright were both placed in uncompetitve brackets. When was the last time a YJA was placed that low?

The more troublesome part is they are staying in those low brackets and not asking to be moved up to a more competitive bracket. The organizers will move teams around if asked.

Laxin' Out Loud allows teams to pick the level of competition they want. One choose the 3rd bracket the other choose the 5th bracket.

you might be right. i think it was a different tournament

Doesn't Laxin out Loud have one winner per age group? I thought it was run the same way as Lax for the Cure. Once you win your bracket doesn't each team compete with the other bracket winners until there is one champ if not this will be a complete waste of time for our teams.

It doesnt appear that bracket winners will play each other this year...must cost too much money to rent fields for those 20 min championship games < rolls eyes >

I guess we prefer winning a T-shirt to playing in a competitive bracket.

So,winning your bracket over weak competition=waste of time

like your team! Dope

Congratulations TG Black- National Draw Champs!

Why was every other YJ team there except the 2023s? Why did CR send that group to MD to play weak competition??

Trouble in paradise. Parents not happy with play time with TG Black coach. Parents already calling around to other clubs.

This is because the A team is undercoached therefore can't compete against higher level teams, too bad for those girls who are good athletes. Unfortunately Wrights team has to pay the price and go along to these mediocre tournaments with them, playing even lower level teams because Thorns team can't compete. Wrights winning by 15-0 is not helping these girls get better. No one is winning here.

MD United? They're not any good any more. You NY folks need to stop mentioning them in the same breath as M&D and SW. MD United is a has-been. Move on.
