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.

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

Congrats to team Thorn and team Wright on both winning their brackets at Laxin out loud

Congrats to the the Thorn girls that actually got to play this weekend! Job well done...

Well done??? How is this a job well done. It's actually an embarrassment to the YJ brand. YJ used to be known for being a top club playing and winning against top competition. Now they play lower level teams and think it's an accomplishment that they win a bracket.This is hilarious!

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.

CR sent a message Saturday and will straighten this $hit show out. Have some patience!

Your sense of entitlement is ridiculous. The top girls play in big games if your daughter isn't one of them have her train more. The girls that are in there are training harder and deserve more play time if you disagree go to a less competitive like Wright.

Which bracket was that? The C and D division? Great job ducking the good teams! On the bright side,will look good on the website

HAHA, LOL yeah so you can come in 2nd to them every year after poaching kids from Wrights team. Funny thing is you get outdone by Wright when she plays every kid on the team. She doesn't out do Thorne every year by just playing her best kids. Every kid on Wright is on the field half of the game. Thorne only wins sometimes by only playing her top kids while the others ride the bench. Something obviously isn't working. Thats why CR was on the sideline this week. Maybe your kid should try passing the ball once in a while.

Wright played in the lowest bracket. Giving equal play time against PAL caliber teams is easy. Let's see what Wright does against a couple of real teams this weekend.

************So.............Ultimate Lacrosse CC Blue and STEPS Elite 2023 Blue are PAL caliber teams along with the other Thirty 2023 teams ? I don't think so YOU DOPE! Think before you type. You are showing your ignorance. *****************


Umm......Thorn only played Pal teams as well. They were in a D level bracket. Got to respect Leg for playing in a the top Bracket even though they had a rough time. That's how you get better. Isn't that the purpose of driving to MD? YJ's would have been better off staying on LI with the teams they played. Ironic that CR brags about her teams playing in top tourns vs top competition and then thinks people won't notice the smoke and mirrors!!

YJ is playing in the Lax for the Cure this weekend. The most competitive tournament around even Maryland teams drive up to compete. Top level competition we will see where our girls stack up.

Which is the better Stars team, blue or black? Where is Dewlax from?

Your perception that because the Monica Division is listed first makes it the top bracket is way off. M& D Black & Hero's Green were in the Jordan Sparks division, liated 2nd, which certainly is no B division...just listed 2nd. The teams in the Monica Divsion that Leg played were like 4th graders. The teams Thorn and Wright played would have mopped up the entire Monica division. Tell yourself you went to MD in the top bracket, " which is how you get better", but it is delusional.

If you're smart enough to use this blog, you are probably smart enough to google Dewlax in order to find out where they are from. Take some initiative.

You forgot to mention Elite that won the bracket again MD United.

You are so correct. We give in. When I get home tonight I'm going to tell my daughter to hand over the T-shirt she got for her team winning their bracket. It's obviously worthless. I'll use it to change the oil on my car before the next trip to New Jersey. She'll understand.

What I have learned from this site is that Long Island and other regions' teams must play in every tournament with M&D black in all age groups. Furthermore, any team at the same tournament as M&D black that is not in the same bracket as M&D black is in a "weak bracket", "ducking them" or "hiding". All other tournaments and play within brackets outside of M&D black is a complete waste of everyone's time and not real lacrosse.

The sense of entitlement and arrogance from parents from this club is staggering.

I would say that many tournaments often have two top brackets, some have one. The ones with two, you may find (Example only) M&D, MD United, TLC, Mass Elite, Phantasticks, , etc in one bracket. The other bracket may have; Sky Walkers, Stars, Heroes Green, Eagle Sticks.... Then throw in your assorted LI and NJ/PA teams. But if your bracket has, and you are playing at least two of the following; M&D, MD United, TLC Red, Sky Walkers Blue, Stars, Heroes Green, then you are in a top bracket (Sorry if I left off any other top MD clubs, please feel free to add if I did). Unfortunately if one of those teams are not in a tourn that you win, it will be open to criticism (sadly for the kids). Those 6 teams are good measuring sticks whether or not people want to admit it. Wish there were six good options like that in Long Island/Metro Area

You've hit the nail on the proverbial head! You can tell what the 2 top brackets are by quickly glancing at the playoff bracket. Rose and Pink are the only brackets that send a 1 & 2. Interestingly enough all teams you mentioned are in them.
