Yes, because "unless you want to go to Hofstra" isn't straight from the playground.

That has nothing at all to do with ss and bs that has everything to do with that girl. That's it.

If it had nothing to with them then why would she personally thank both SS and BS in her acceptance speech?

And yet you begin your shpeal with You can’t argue with these “nasty” YJ parents and then say all get along. We...the parents of 2023 Thorne are NOT “nasty” at all. In fact...those that have come into the team as well as those who have left have all enjoyed the parents on this team. I acknowledged that the Igloo parents were graat too in Delaware. Most on TG decent as well. Just a few wingnuts....perhaps on each team that make this whole thing cancerous. Enjoy the battle. You have the title...for now!

Did TG Black play Thorn this summer?
TG split with Igloo....Igloo won the full right and TG won the shortened game
Igloo got Thorn a couple times but the final was a great game that could have gone either way

Yes Igloo beats Thorn EVERY time, you might want to believe those games go either way, but when you have never beaten a team after playing them for three years, it does not go “either way”.

Igloo clearly better than Thorn. YJ parents struggle with this the only age group on the Island where they aren't the top team.

Whoever is posting this nonsense about YJ attracting new talent at their upcoming tryouts must have their head buried in the sand. Have you not watched this team struggle year after year. The smart girls left and never looked back, I would not be surprised if a few more of the better girls leave this year. Last year when 91 girls infused into the program, only one (goalie) made a difference. The others either ride pine on Thorn, or get frustrated on Wright, a team that has take a serious downturn this year, losing most games to any team with talent. Now, we know some families have to stay withYJ either because they live In Northport, are the coaches kid, or have siblings in the program (this is over half the team). As far as the Hofstra comment, many girls actually want to go there. I even have friends that play for YJ whose daughters are committed there. The older YJ teams do have an impressive list of commits, but they are also better teams than YJ 23. TG also has plenty of girls who are going to very impressive schools. The top girls on YJ, TG, and Igloo will have their choice of school providing they keep their grades up. Bottom line is that right now TG is a more solid team than YJ. The coaches BS and S Apuzzo are fair and knowledgeable and never yell at the girls. Lots of favoritism and negativity on Thorn. Do either of these teams have room for more girls is another question. As for YJ, it would be very tough to displace a starter on that team, too many favors. On TG, BS would absolutely take a stud player and start her. He also would cut the bottom of the roster without a thought. I would rather have my daughter on a team where you need to earn your spot fairly. It’s never a good thing when coaches get too close with parents. TG has earned the top team on Long Island for a reason. And we’re proud to be a part of it.

2 notIntelligent comments, NOBODY on LI makes Hofstra first choice for Lax. Do you actually think TG coaches never yell or play evenly or don’t play F&F you live in fantasy Lax world.

Theres only 1 or 2 girls that runs the show...take away her and they would struggle to beat Thorn ...

Take away Thorn's 2 best players and they would struggle to beat Wright.

^^ and touche....this is true...besides a couple of girls...all are the same wright/thorn

How many years in a row did Wright beat Thorn? Two? CR had to cancel her LI Elite tournament because of the shame.

[quote=Anonymous]If there's only, as you say, "1 or 2 girls that runs the show...take away her and they would struggle to beat Thorn", than why didn't/couldn't Thorn do that? Did she not notice?

Apparently Igloo is a bit deeper than just 1 or 2 girls, and perhaps they should get some respect.

For the record, my daughter doesn't play for either YJ or Igloo.

Igloo runs through the coaches daughter if she's off the team doesn't win. She will force the ball in games knowing her supporting cast isn't strong.

100% true...all others are along for the ride...there is only so far a team can go like this...Igloo is heading for the finish line

Please don't start a comment with 100% true, when you are either ignorant or spreading lies. That team has been playing a zone defense for years and probably does it better than anyone at that age group. Do they not contribute? 1 or 2 girls are the focal point of the offense, that's really profound. Please Google Apuzzo, Ohlmiller and Cummings. All great teams have a focal point and if you don't think those types of players make everyone around them better, you plain don't know the game. There is no Kool-Aid at Igloo. The price? please do your research and see what you get for the price - year round training, uniforms/equipment and great coaching. I don't have a daughter in the age group but I can tell you from experience it would be the best money you ever spent on lacrosse. No cash in an envelope to practice, no extras everything Is laid out including the entire years schedule at your first meeting in September. Who is drinking the Kool-Aid??
If that's Kool-Aid then I'm drinking. If I had a daughter in the 23 age I would pray she could play on that team, you wont find a better coach or run organization. They are not perfect but they are what all clubs should aspire to be. They may not succeed but they are doing it the right way.

[quote=Anonymous]Please tell me where I say I don't have a daughter on the team? I said I don't have a daughter in the age group. Nor did I say it twice. You still have not identified your team. Wonder why, maybe you keep losing to them? What is your background with Igloo? I have not knocked any teams Im pointing out facts and my opinion, yet you still have nothing to add. Maybe we can discuss at tournament next year, Ill be the one with the red moustache and big smile...

YJ does not lose to Igloo again and you can take that to the bank.
