BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Boys 2023 - 7th Grade Fall 2017/Summer 2018

This tourney was a joke. GC should have won the whole thing. Should have been GC and Mamas boyz in the finals. GC blew out every team they played in the bracket, they played the "harder" teams as well. Icon played the weakest teams in the bracket and barely beat them. When they were faced with a semi- legit team they got blown out of the water. Kills me how they rig these things.

They've got enough. Played in the fall @ blatant. First tourney is next week at the true blue thing.

Saw all the S2S teams today except the 2023 team which fell apart.

That's funny because none of the s2s teams played today. So maybe you meant yesterday? But I guess you didn't mean the 2023 teams, either team. Let's take it s step further- if you saw every s2s team play yesterday then, you must have been busy on Saturday at Andy Forsberg. But wait, the 2023 teams played on Sunday, not saturday.

Maybe you have more than one kid so you were there both days. Maybe you should pay more attention to their games instead of grinding whatever axe you have against a team that hasn't even started their tourney season yet. They (my sons team) have a tournament every week from June 9th through mid July. Come on down and see them play and give your imagination a rest. Good luck to all the rest of the summer.

Crazy this team has haters already, they haven't even started yet!

Probably a jealous club, but I'm sure if S2S was built with one team to where they are now, then this new team might be very good. Who knows, we'll see on BOTC. I saw on the website that Hills West Varsity coach is their coach. No daddy coach. They're going to have to produce.

Express had a great joint practice with S2S A team yesterday. Parents were great and coaches were amazing. Coaching boys and making them better. That is what it should be about. Hope to keep doing this in the future.

I agree. Too many teams at all skill levels not to take advantage of things like this.

Yeah that was horrible... Icon was average and Mamas played crappy competition. Sure they look great against week competition. GC would have killed them. When they play true A teams, they lose badly.. Check out the Foxbourough tournament stats if you disagree. Without GC or MB, the other 6 teams were a lot closer in skill level. E3, Icon and 90+1 were all about equal and the Sachem, Empire and Express teams were just horrible, no offense on them..

I have not seen the 2023 S2S team this year but I see they are playing in the Adrenaline Platinum Cup in Delaware this weekend. Looks like some good teams will be represented with Igloo, Brother Love, Denver Elite, FCA Md among a few others. This should be a good test for S2S; Igloo and BL looked very good this Spring.

I think S2S has an easy draw and should win their bracket walking away. It is a talented team and ranked in the top 10 in the WSYL.

Icon barely beat the Express team. The 91+1 team isn't much better. GC and Mammas were the only ones with a shot in this tourney. It was a complete C bracket.

The NLF this w/e has a lot of B teams coming in. express will beat bandits like a drum in the finals. None of the other teams have a chance
With the exception of laxachusetts black.
Don’t forget your red cups

Hey you get what you pay for. Next year the price will increase like everything else in the NY metro area. Everyone will be around 3k next season mark my word. It’s all about what’s good for you and your child , how far you want to travel for practice and the right coach. I rather have a great coach with a child on the team because he’s all in. Been on a team with a Hs coach and was a complete mess when he’s there or not in the spring and really didn’t care.

Very true. My son's friends have a HS coach and he never shows up and no communication or commitment. Total money grab.

Bandits will win the NLF, Express is not as good as them. After what I saw at the Qualifier Bandits are the superior team, they put a beating on S2S and beat Express handily. Don't know much about the out of state teams but on long Island Bandits are the best by far.

They will have a little trouble with Crabs. Size, age and physicality. Same with the Laxachusettes Black team.

Those 2 teams will bring 14 and 15 year olds and then parents will cheer as they score on kids 2-3 years younger.

Are the Outlaws folding as of next year? The Rebels are advertising one team per grade, besides that what other differences will there be? Will MB coach the 2023 or the Outlaws B team coach?

1, the outlaws are not folding! 2, the Rebels are totally separate cut the crap!

And yes, you will all trash the Rebels and then we will see you all at their tryouts,haha!

Thanks Bandits parent or player. Boring...

MB should coach the Rebels and put the very good Gold coach on the Select team to resurrect that program.

Good luck with the B coach going to select, leave while you can!

^^^^^^^^^^^

Not a Bandits parent or a player, just someone that can see that the Bandits are the best team on Long Island. Haugen, Igloo and S2S in my opinion in this order are the next three. I shouldn't have said they will win the NLF because I have never seen the Crabs or Laxachu... play, heard they are great teams. When it comes to 2023 Long Island Lax Bandits stand alone. Good luck to all teams at the NLF.

Crabs are a shell of the team they were last year. Lost their best players to Hawks and some left with FB on his Stars team.

First off, they are an awesome team. The best around. But, has anyone else noticed that the Bandits always play an easier schedule than most of the other teams? It seems like its been this way since NLF began. Why is that?

True. Laxachusetts has turned holding back into an industry for themselves up in Boston.

Stars aren’t a main team. More like a national team that has kids from crabs hawks and a few other dmv teams. FBs kid still on crabs. They aren’t as strong offensively because their best attack is playing on 22 team this yr

the season kicks in. seems like everyone is playing. hopefully igloo and s2s can make it an all LI final @ Platinum. A lot of good teams at NLF. should be a lot of high level games. i know people crap on the warriors, but they don't shy away from competition. might not do well but they'll fight. And the True Blue tourney. Good parity in the "b" bracket. should be some competitive games for them all. not sure how the "a" goes. i guess outlaws or igloo? don't know who the jersey team is. i haven't seen s2s or recon play.

weather looks better than expected. good luck to all the kids.

True Blue made their schedule easy to be in the final with with Igloo or S2S.

yes, forgot about true blue. i would think true blue and outlaws/igloo.

Denver will win. Hands down.

Take a look at Tourney Machine True Blue Panthers are playing the two other toughest teams in the tournament, so stop with the easy schedule. The only other team that will give TB Panthers somewhat of a game is Outlaws Select. Its a TB run tournament thats the only reason why the Panthers are in it.

They are playing Recon and the Jersey team. Nor sure those are two toughest teams.

Look Again they are playing Outlaws Select, Jersey Thunder and Recon which is a 2022/2023 combo, take a look before u open your mouth.

Ya know what, sorry but the warriors let more talented kids go then they have. Rotten at the top. A far cry from a professional Bandits Team. Warriors have gotten worse every year because of nepotism. When in 4th grade 11 kids play and 13 watch and are orange cones at practice it figures theyd all leave. Funny as many have gone on to succeed on higher ranked teams. Not flaming but fact spilling.

HOLY RE CLASS. this is embarrassing

Sorry TB dad. I seem to have struck a nerve. Like I said they are playing Recon and the Jersey team. I have seen that Recon team play and they are no A team.

How can a 2022/2023 team play in the 2023 division?

That's awesome. Bring in the 8th graders to beat on the 7th. Deusche.
