It kills you guy that our Madlax team has zero holdbacks and everyone is on grade and age. All you can do is cry and make up lies.

Why do you keep stalking this Long Island board??? You are the only person not from Long Island that posts on this board. And you stalk it, daily. Many times a day. Day and night. What is wrong with you? You are one sick individual. Nobody cares about Madlax. Get a hobby. Get a life.

If you played them you would know. He’s the tallest kid on the field. Guessing he’s 6” or more taller than the average player this age. You know, the size of a tall 13 year old. Get it???

Here's the answer to your question--- because it's dumb dumbs like you that respond to this kids taunts, he is purposely trying to get a rise out of the half brain parents on this site and he's quite successful. So kudos to you madlax kid, your parents have taught you well and until the dumb dumbs learn to stop responding to you, you have free reign to torment the long island dads as you see fit, or at least until your bedtime.

Why does it matter if Madlax has holdbacks?? The big middie and attackman are not better that the starting attackmen or middies on the WP. Let them play the age game, it has not done anything for their success. Also with the WSYL, obviously the holdback situation stops them from going. I love the posts that says "Madlax doesn't go because parents don't want to spend the $ and waste time there" but in another post they post that where they live is one of the wealthiest places to live in America. C'mon man how does that make sense??? And as far as business is concerned.. and believe me that's what travel lacrosse is, Madlax should be going to WSYL for business purposes alone, but CAN'T. So play the age game, win some tournaments and skip WSYL if that what makes you happy. But in the end the success rate has not gone up for this team.

Actually, most of us could care less. WP beats your sorry Team, 9 out of 10 times. Most games are a yawn. That team isn’t even on the radar, when it comes to competitive teams. Just another team, before we get to the championship and hopefully get to play a decent team. Like last years Fab 8, when we had a competitive game with 91 MD in the finals, while Madlax was driving home to VA with their tail between their legs. Again. Again. And again. Remember??

What towns are entering the PAL league, this Spring? Or, which towns are not? At this age, the numbers start to dwindle, as the kids get older. Anybody got some strong numbers?

My town has no issues getting kids to play PAL through 6th grade; the struggle starts in 7th and 8th grades, but that is to be expected with the boys all playing school ball. But even then, we usually still have teams for the MS boys, and they largely just show up to play games on Sundays - no practices once MS starts theirs.

You are partially correct.
1. You ain’t that smart. You have no interest in responding simply because you are a LI B team dad, which means you have no dog in the fight, not because you are so smart. Sorry!
2. You are partially correct about this being a kid. There is a kid and a sicko dad doing these posts, and if you were paying attention, you would realize that. But since your kid doesn’t play this team, you aren’t paying attention.
3. You’re right. The only way to get rid of the sicko dad is to ignore him, no matter how annoying he is. That I will be doing.

Big 4 HHH....wasn't that the last matchup?

Correct. There are a ton of posts on here about ML only because the same Juvenile ML dad (and an occasional ML child) stirs the pot, nonstop. If the guy didn’t stalk this board, most people reading this would never have heard of this team, and justifiably so. The reality is, WP is better than this team, across the board, as indicated by their FAR superior record against this team. The top 2 players on that team, would be 2nd string on WP. Fact. It’s not even a conversation. They have older kids. So what. WP plays up all the time.

Yep youre the typical dumb dumb I'm talking about, look how pathetic you are for getting all riled up, I must have hit a nerve for you to be throwing out the old dog in fight cliche and your b-team dad accusation, im sure steam was pouring out of your ears writing your sermon in response just like it does when you have to respond to the madlax kid. A typical secure, intelligent, confident man, or women in your case, with nothing to have to prove or refute would laugh at this kids posts and feel no need to respond, they would let their kids play on the field do the talking, and yes I am that smart, you not so much, and please in your clever response dont' demote my kid down to a C team level...

How many kids you have at the 6th grade? Compare that to 2nd grade. How many less/more do you have now compared to then?

Big 4 HHH....wasn't that the last matchup?

You mean the one goal scam game that the refs let happen? The only tournament last season that mattered was the Elite 8. Period. And Madlax went home early. There is nothing else to talk about. Madlax has dropped more games to the WP than they won. Didn't the WP send Madlax home without a win from Laxfest as well? There is nothing to argue

First off, we're a small town. 6th grade has been a problem because we have had 25+, pretty much the same number since their first year - some faces have swapped here and there, but numbers have been consistent. But, that's too many for one team, not enough to split into two. It's been hard for all of the travel players who play PAL because they either are all out together, and then when they come out, the talent level falls off a cliff, or they get mixed in with the other players and those players can't throw and catch well enough for those boys, although I have to say, they do it and don't complain, so good for them. But as parents, it's hard to watch the games because of the unevenness of it all, either way.

All BS aside... who should we be looking for as the up and coming travel teams on LI? Besides Taz, WP and let's put Express in there... who looks like they could be a legitimate threat this year? Igloo?? I hear good and bad about them. So many people like to say there is an "A" level on LI, while many people say there is no such thing on LI, only B teams and below. Truly, I don't think a lot of people have a clue about that next tier of teams. I know that I don't. Let's try to be realistic. Can someone rank the next 5 teams?

Wow. Small town that consistently gets 25 kids. That's pretty good. Everyone is in the same boat, in regards to your travel kids/town kids scenario. Some of these town kids, after 7 or 8 years, still can't catch the ball. Big-time difference. Have you tried combining with the grade either below or above, and creating A and B teams that way. Sounds like you could create three teams that way.

I did pitch that idea. - our program frowns on the whole A/B team idea.

New topic. Who are the best of the best defenders for ‘24 grade right now on LI? No names.

that kid on that other team is good. also the one kid who plays d is solid

Interesting how the Madlax holdback has to play 14u in his age based town league.

You stunad. He is on age and on grade. He is playing up.

Seriously, besides maybe Igloo, I don't think there are any "next in line". The rest are B teams.

Wow all B teams. What a compliment. Thought they were C and D teams.

And compared to Madlax, Igloo is a B team.

Were any of the boys on Mad lax born in 2006?
