BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Girls 2021 - 9th Grade Fall 2017/Summer 2018

Expecting big numbers today at both TG and liberty tryouts. Lots of kids looking to crack into the top teams.

There are some deserving purple girls and even a white girl who deserves to be on this team. Hopefully they are rewarded for their hard work and the purple girls can move up as the group that deserves to be up there.

I think that always the case but sometimes politics and connections prevail over deserving. I do think you will see some movement though.

West Babylon gang isn't going anywhere...

Liberty only had 40 girls, down from 70 last year. TG looked to be about 70 girls at the tryout.

Are you a Smith? No. So your hypothesis means nothing.

West Islip the new West Babylon or shall we say new cash cow.

And you were at both?

Actually, there were a few at both. But no, I know people who were at the one is wasn't. You aren't friendly with others in the lacrosse world?

WI is infested all over TG (in a few ages), only a few left but a bunch of the purple players and coach remain. It will be a shame if they all move up over the WB girls.

Your answering yourself is comical. Stop trying to stir the pot. You left. Go be happy if possible. Stop trying to cause division where there is none

Exactly.

Yes many wi girls play tg just like many manhasset girls
Play liberty or np girls play yj. It's called not jackassing an hour to practice

NP would be an hour to get to practice.

Do you have any idea how crazy you sound?

At this stage of the game you would think that most of would at least have a bit of clue, but I guess you really can't fix stupid

And this guy commenting and then replying to his own comment is even crazier.

Is it true that Liberty did not have enough girls at the tryout to field two teams? Word is they will create a combo 2020-21 as the B team.

face it on LI the talent level in this age group is not strong. Too many dads yelling for princess to go to goal rather than make the next play.

Listen talent level is there but I do agree with you too many parents just want their girls go to goal.

Liberty did not have enough 2020 girls either...last year 2 teams, this year looks like just 1...curious why the Liberty drop-off...anything to DG leaving Manhasset rumor ?

On TG it's not the parents, it BS himself. Coaching certain girls to be ball hogs. Too bad bc the talent is there but only a chosen few are developed.

Well....the troll is be back. PAL tryouts over?????

Liberty drop off perhaps not because DG may be leaving but more because of the reasons people would want her to be gone.

Care to shed any light on the "reasons"?

Without going into a lengthy diatribe, the bottom line is that HS varsity coaches who also direct travel programs should not EXPECT kids to play for them in both arenas. Nothing but problems, punishment, resentments, favoritism, dysfunction and bad blood. Unhappy kids and parents are stuck. Kids just quit. Zero fun.

In towns like Manhasset and GC, some really good players will not be starters until senior year - if then even. Do the math - lots of kids on travel teams and limited spots on HS team with 4 years competing for time. And everyone thinks their kids the best player at their position. You can't all be right!

Same can be said at top colleges. Really talented high school middies end up playing attack or defense to get on the field.

Drop off just really that year, but if you saw the team you would know why.

Did TG field 2 or 3 teams this year?

Who coaches the leg A team

Three Varsity coaches and the director (part time).

Just 2 teams a B team and a c team

What schools are the 3 varsity coaches from?

Huh....they don't have an A team.

Legacy has one of the best players on LI. Plus you know Jack about the interest already shown in her. Say what you may, they will be a good solid team.

Lol! Amazing how many moms claim their kid is "one of the best players on the Island"!

Don't take the troll bait. Never a good idea to say any team has the best player on LI, only invites more critism. The team will do fine and your daughter's play will speak for itself (if you are really a parent on the team). Focus on your kid, it's a shame that others can't do the same.

Why do u people keep falling for the same nonsense?
Don't u realize that this poster has been trying to stir the pot and trash on legacy for a while now. Not sure why all the hatred.
My bet is that this entire conversation is actually one person.
There is just no legitimate reason to knock teams, players, families, coaches, etc.
BOC is becoming a waste of time. I used to actually get decent info and insight on these threads but not any more. It's become a platform for jealous and unhappy parents to bash on others and I predict BOC will soon b served with a judges order to provide users' IP addresses and may even b held liable when one of these parents cross the line (it will happen) and cud cause a teenage player to do something drastic.
Please let's hope that doesn't ever happen but if it does, I know that BOC would b the first place I'd tell detectives to start their investigation. Just sayin'.
