Nope! Re-read my first sentence. Love that team. Special respect to those boys that commute to play with you. Tons of heart.

My family watched the replay on ESPN last night. My youngest asked me why the one mom who was jumping in front of the camera like she was on MTV’s Daytona Spring Break was so purple? Then the guy who looked like a meth-cook with the beard got footage and I had to answer a whole slew of other questions. Then he asked me if the “normal people (families from 91) were going to be safe with “those other people”. Well it all got really weird trying to explain it all. You probably can appreciate his concern.

That's so funny, The meth-cook! LMAO. People don't realize how bad they look representing their kids...

Interesting group in the Warrior classic this weekend. What other tournaments are teams playing this weekend?

If your going to list some of these tournaments you have to list lax festas it had 91 express shore 2 shore. True blue

Interesting in what way? Favorites? Care to handicap the 2023 bracket for us?

Please stop with the True Blue nonsense. They do not belong in the same conversation with those other 3 teams. I believe TB went 1 - 3 in that tourney.

Interesting in that I don’t know many of those teams. No, I don’t care to handicap the bracket. Why would I? My son is playing in that tournament. I found the group interesting since it is on LI and there aren’t a lot of the usual LI teams playing. I then asked a simple question what other tournaments kids were playing this weekend. It was a simple question. What’s your issue?

Playing in 2023 National Championships in MD

That's pretty funny, did you really say National Championships? Seems like they have one every other week.

Congrats to 3 Village winning the Bash at the Beach. Beating the other A team in the finals to win a T-shirt at a B tournament. Hope that both teams in the finals coaches are really proud of themselves.You brought your teams to beat up on less talented kids instead of playing one of many a level tourments today... double digit wins really make your kids better 🤦‍♂️

Guess the Express teams ranking of number 2 in the “World” lasted 10 day with a terrible showing at the Millon tournament. They struggled in every game.

A lot of close games at the Millon Nat'l Club Championships for Rising 8th Grade tourney (what a mouthful) in MD. Express, S2S, Igloo, all in tough games and didn't win it all. The teams who won a lot of games are dominated by what we call holdbacks and what they call normal. The LI teams are very good. Maybe the local boys should take these same squads and go back to the same tourney next year as 2024 to keep things fair because kids their age from down south are in that class.

You need to get over it. Everybody gets their butt kicked now and then. No one knew how weak the teams would be at the tournament. Trust me, if those teams knew how weak it was, they would have skipped it. I’m guessing you’re one of the LI moms who started drinking at 9:30am and couldn’t shut up on the sidelines.

They went 4-1. Got to the semis & lost to a very good team that went on to win the championship. Not a exactly a terrible showing.

The only terrible showing was by the outlaws during the Express game and then the following day they get into a fight during a game. They are a poor excuse for a team, blame the coaches because they are not teaching the kids the game, especially the coach that feels it's ok to go across the field not once but 2x a game to call out people. And some of the parents - holy crap you need to grow up and stop screaming at kids and coaches4az

Outlaws is now going to be REBELS which is still going to be trash. You can't hide MB or PB.

I know some people want to think this, but truth is if you call the Rebels office they will answer and explain to you, like they did to me... that they are completely separate and will be ran very professional with a lot of backing... my son will be trying out, and I would suggest you call and speak to them about what they are putting together... the guys at blatant have been great so far... go rebels!

When a team that competes in the A level tournaments or A level brackets of Lax Fest plays a known B tournament instead of an a tournament they know exactly what they are doing. There are different level tournaments and brackets so there are competitive games. No one learns a darn thing from a double digit loss. Ward Melville could have run up the score more, but they have some class.

At least True Blue knows that they are not a B level team and don’t drop down to win a T-Shirt. Look, I know my kid isn’t not a superstar. We play on a B level team so he can see the field and play against kids of similar skill and athletics ability.

I guess we should ignore the fight express had in the first game against Texas I guess we should ignore the express parents yelling at 13 year old players on the field (reason why coach went over and ask you to stop). I guess we should ignore the express mom asking the Outlaw mom to stand up and fight. How do your coaches teach the game? Boys, this weekend your all benched for the tournament because we going to bring down our 2022’s and play, so watch and learn. Should we ignore that also? Having older kids play tends to make coaches look better. I guess your leadership is what we should aspire to follow.

That game was not close at all. And, keep in mind that their "face off" kid knocked both Express face off kids out of the game with what seemed to be pretty serious injuries because he had no knowledge of how to correctly face off. Instead he used his stick as a weapon, which was encouraged by the coaches. A disgraceful way to play the game.
