All this talk about playing up is silly. You want Express to play up so you can see them lose. Or, you want them out of tournaments so that your sons team can have a chance to win. Well, that’s not how sports work, Snowflake. The best teams win. They’re 11 year old kids and they are very good right now. That may change over the next few years, but playing up now serves no purpose. Some 7th grade boys start getting very large. Playing up becomes dangerous. They won’t play up in A divisions because they will get destroyed, so the only option is to play weak teams. Like Blast tomorrow; those teams are not good. Blast will likely beat them, but those boys are not going to like it and could potentially take it out on those tiny Blast kids. It doesn’t make sense. Playing up doesn’t equate to playing better teams, just bigger. It is the clubs/coaches responsibility to put the teams in the tournaments best suited for them. Not to win shirts.

Force looks like the real deal. I’m not sure that Blast would have been able to beat them today.

Good team but not in same class as 91.

That’s so funny. The team lost 10-0 to the Express just 5 days ago. Farce beat the Epic Jokers, who is nice B level team. Also, Farce barely beat Roar today (who lost to Express 32-3) and played a team a low B team in Tri state. So stop it. Next week the Farce has Chan, 2way and North. Go 2-1 and play a competitive game vs Chan and then you say “real deal”.

That’s why they shut them out in the championship game . Message sent.

91 girl went to express

Not true. The things people make up.

Express has to be really good at this age since the have a few “reclassified “ kids from the 2024 age level playing down on Their 2025 team
Must be nice

Express would beat Blast by at least 10; therefore, Force would give Blast a game. When Blast plays a good team, then we can compare. And there are no goo teams tomorrow

Legacy launch 7 - 2025 91AA 5

Whoever created the game schedule for Halloween Havoc didnt do a very good job.
Epic Jokers only ended up in that championship game because they played the 3 weakest teams for their initial games.
If they had played Roar or Greenwich they would have lost. It would have been far more interesting to see those teams against Force in the championship game.
The organizers should have recruited one more team and then had an A and B bracket. If not, do a much better job setting up games.

agreed

Yup. 91 should have stayed and had Greenwich, Force and Roar in one bracket. And Express, Tristate, Jokers and force 2 in another. It’s not that hard to add one extra game. Blatant tourneys so much better in my opinion.

Except Express didn’t play in Halloween Havoc

How about you stop shadow boxing with opponents you haven’t played. Claim defeat when you actually win.

Was 91 originally supposed to be in tournament? Why did they bail?

Express B did Einstein. They would have made up the B bracket with the teams above and the A bracket was the other. But the tourney director obviously doesn’t know enough about the teams to make a good bracket.

Legacy Launch 2024.....91 Orange (Blast) 2025. Blast played up and played them tough and lost 6-5 in the final.

Blah blah blah 91 Blast loses again.

FYI, they were Taz kids last year, but this year they’re Launch. I don’t know why people are so upset. The 91 team was very good, but they’re a year younger. I commend them for playing so well.

How is Geese doing?

girl goalie went to legacy

Express 3 and 0 down in Delaware. Won all games easily

90% of the Express team are 12 yrs old. lets get facts straight!

Blast, too. A bunch of Igloo as well.

Blast is absolutely not 12 year olds.

91 played well but the goalie play in the 2nd half kept 91 them in the game. The kid did great. No, not his dad.

Please!!! there are a boat load of 06's on the 91 team..Express has the most and they will be playing vs kids there age this weekend.

Express is in the 2024 A bracket this weekend.

Would love to know how you guys know so much about 6th grade travel lacrosse, especially about Express & 91? Do your kids actually play on one of these teams?

2025 Chan express is listed as playing this weekend in both 2025A bracket and 2024A bracket. And there are conflicting times, so is he splitting the team for this?

Top clubs all going by bogus WSYL birth year age rules. Late August is cut off, they are all eligible and yes some kids playing on grade are almost a year younger and older

the 2025 bracket plays Sat. The 2024 bracket plays Sun.

What are the WSYL age rules?

its 2 different days

Express 2025 is playing 2024 because half of those kids can't play in the WSYL next year.
They will see though that they can't complete in the 2024 bracket. That's why those boys who are a year older are playing down a year. They couldn't make it on the A teams in 2024. Good solid players, but size does come into play and they will be shut down in the 2024 bracket.

Lol. Do you sit around and make this stuff up. All starting 10 will be at the WSYL in the summer of 2020

They are playing the B teams in the bracket. The only two decent teams are Taz and Express Schwale and they aren’t playing either one.

Cut off is 9/1/07. Earlier than that and you’re out of luck.

S2S is a good B team but small in size. Igloo has big kids which will make it hard for them. And 2 Way will crush them.
