Both YJ and Legacy lost to M&D. YJ 10-3 and Legacy 11-1 both teams seemed to be even skill wise while YJ the more physical of the two.

YJ lost badly to MD Black, not sure of the other scores. Looks like Legacy has caught up to YJ Blue as well now. Oh boy!

Isn't M&D all hold-backs? Not really comparing apples to apples when the girls from MD are 1-2 years older. That's the reason the didn't go to Nationals.

Yes, every girl on every M&D team is 12-24 months older than than the oldest girl on every team that they play. That is why M&D is so successful. They are the only program in the country that only has older girls on their teams.

Not that it matters much but leg was 10-2. Pretty much the same as yj

So funny. I think saw 2 of the MD girls drive their parents home after the tournament. Wait ....what !!! Yes they are all 1-2 years older .... Really. I love this. Maybe they are pretty good kids who are coached well and play sound lacrosse. Heaven forbid they are just better right now in the Fall when other girls are playing other Sports.

It's more like YJ has fallen down to Legacy.

I saw elevate bragging that they went 13-1 this weekend at the Tournament as a club. Were they at the tournament? I didn't see them. Did they play any good teams YJ, Heros, MD, etc? I am surprised I didnt see or HEAR them there.

This is a very false statement.

This is a very false statement.

It's 100% true. My daughter is one of the tallest girls on her team. She is in the 95 percentile for her age. When she plays M&D she looks like a smaller girl in terms of her development. I understand that all kids develop at different rates. But when the majority of the girls look more developed than my daughter, something seems very fishy. The M&D girls are a good year older and everyone knows it. When we play M&D we know it's like playing up a year.

Who would of thought The almighty YJs would disintegrate Into a Team 91? Very sad!

You people are really wacky. Yes the MD players are on average a few months older due mainly to school cut off ages being different and it does seem MD teams tend to have a few more holdbacks than LI but they are not on average years older. Second Legacy should respect your team more because you go to MD and get beat up on more than they do, okay, but how about you beat these MD teams like other top YJ teams in the past.

1-2 years is more like it. For boys and girls. An unfair advantage now, but will even out soon. Earlier for girls than boys. Right now there is a huge difference between a 7th grader from NY and one from MD. Luckily due to the change in recruiting rules, the difference will be negligible by the time the girls are in 10th grade.

You can keep telling yourself 1-2 years, but you are wrong. Find another excuse for your 95th percentile daughter losing to M&D.

You are all crazy .You are all either very ignorant or delusional . Both sides are ridiculous . Again the MD players are on average older ( it's hilarious that MD parents refuse to acknowledge this). They are not years older( LI parents refuse to accept this). MD tend to have more holdbacks ( UA used to print kids dob ) , still have it from a few years ago and it's obvious( MD parents again refuse to believe this ). Is what it is .

Boys, yes. Girls, wrong.

[quote=Anonymous]Yj lost to tlc and tied coopermine.

Egads.

That’s BS and everyone knows it. Not too concerned though because come 2 years from now, everything will even out and the LI girls will have the advantage as they are now essentially playing up against you. Now go back to your boring MD forum, like your state

"Yes, every girl on every M&D team is 12-24 months older than than the oldest girl on every team that they play. That is why M&D is so successful. They are the only program in the country that only has older girls on their teams."

Lighten up Frances, this was sarcasm. M&D is the dominant team from Maryland at almost every age. They draw from southern Pennsylvania to the north, Frederick, MD to the west, the DC suburbs to the south and the Eastern Shore to the east. Girls travel an hour and longer to be on their teams. That is a huge geographic area. Compare that to LI where there are more teams drawing from smaller geographies. The M&D program has a proven track record with regard to developing players and in many cases, is the Golden Ticket to get into McDonough.

If they appear bigger, faster and stronger, that is because they are. When you have hundreds of girls trying out from a massive geographic area, it is not hard to put together a team of Amazons. It is likely that the average M&D (and most Maryland girl's teams) are older than the average team from NY. This is not due to some conspiracy. There is a 9/1 school cutoff in Maryland and yes, some girls do a prefirst year. My daughter did a prefirst year with a Sept birthday b/c we wanted her to be old for her grade, not young. Most prefirst children here have late spring, summer and early fall birthdays. I would wager that on average, a MD club team is 6 months older than an average NY team. Yes, that gives the MD teams an advantage until things even out in High School.
