very possible that could happen. What's your point. WP< TAZ AND EXPRESS are all good teams . All have good talent. You are the biggest problem with youth lax. . You, not the kids or the teams.

TB is a top team. Beat Taz when they had good players. Will destroy the watered down Taz this weekend.

TB will beat Express but Taz

Reading this crap cracks me up. Really. Next, I can see you guys next laying odds and betting on the 2024's. Laughable!
Yes, my kids stinks, can't catch, throw, cradle....[ChillLaxin], even can barely walk!

Glad you’re enjoying it. Think of this site as the WWF. It’s here for its entertainment value and to have some fun and poke fun at people. Don’t take it seriously and enjoy. I LMAO all the time reading this stuff. The Saturday Night Live of youth lacrosse. Keep it coming boys!

Goes without saying.

Don’t overlook 2025 Express. They are an excellent team if all their top guys are playing this weekend.

And once again Chan pulls a fast one. He sends the 2025 home so that his 2024 team can take there place in the semi-finals (that his 2024 team did not make it into).This guy is such a snake!!!!!!

Total snake. Only way Express won today was to stick the odds. Cheaters not only with their holdbacks but sending teams home so they can increase their odds. Insight to this year with Express. Cheaters all around. Hope the parents got their monies worth today bc we’re all on to you and shame on Blatant for letting them do this

2025 team goes 2-0-1 tied igloo 2024 A team. Great team! Made playoffs but have spot to 2024 team who then wins it all beating legacy 6 2 in championship

Actually thats not true. Schwalje made it into the playoffs. Its Express North who did not. By Chan forfeiting he ensured Schwalje would first come up against Igloo instead of Taz in playoff round, and would be then pretty much guaranteed to make it to the final championship game against Taz.
If Chan had not forfeited then Schwalje would have played Taz in playoffs and Chan would havr played Igloo.
Schwalje already lost to Taz in first game, and Chan only tied Igloo in their second game. Therefore thde re was a risk then Express could not make it to championship if Chan didnt forfeit and change who Schwalje played first.
Strategic move. But Schwalje was defenitely going to be in playoffs either way.

TB. lol there a B team. They only play A so there other bad team plays in B they could justify it. Not an A 0-3. Today.

Did you make it all the way back to manhasset before you wrote that or did you do it from the car? Sorry you actually had to play a real team today. Back to reality!

Who won Blatant

Incorrect. Taz seed 1, igloo seed 2 bc better goal differential than express 2025. That gives u express 2025 as the 3 seed. 3 teams tied at 2-1 (express north, express li and rebels lc) best goal differential was express north of all the 2-1 teams so they are the 4 seed. A shame they did that to the rebels.

Props to the 2025! As far as giving their spot the 2024 team that got knock out total shame on the coaches and Blatant for allowing this to happened

Schwalje and Taz should have played again. They were the best teams. You really think Taz wants to play a 2025 team. They want the best competition. And again, I would think the coaches and tourney director all discussed this and agreed.

TAZ beat them in the first game . They were knocked out should have not been in the final. With that said. They did wn the second time. Well done .

Chan gave their spot two 2024 express. Fact . They did not make the playoffs. It is the absolute truth. Either way would rather see those teams play each other anyway . Better games and competition. Got d win

What happened to Taz in championship? Guessing they ran out of gas. I didn’t see the game, but based on their very limited depth, I’m willing to bet that’s what happened.

How many 8th graders on Express today?

I called this as soon as saw the schedule. When there are two clear top teams, as there were in this tourney, those teams should never play each other in pool play. Because one team will lose and that loss will in all likelihood knock them out of the championship, and a far lesser team, who play all bad teams, will go to championship game. Then the championship game is a joke. Express actually did TOTALLY the right thing by allowing Express 24 to advance and end up in championship so two best teams played. But it was self serving too, since it would have created problems for the organization to have the 25 Express team in championship and not 24 team. Regardless, any organization would have done same thing. If the 25 Express parents are angry, you need to take it out on Blatatant for not doing a better job scheduling the games. Blatant is the culprit here. However, the teams should have pressured them for a change to the schedule, once they saw that Taz and Express 24 were pitted against each other. Very very bad job by the organizers.

You are wrong. Read the rules.
In a tie head to head comes before goal differential.
Since Schwalje beat Express North in 3rd game, Schwalje was 4th seed.
When Chan forfeited. Schwalje became 3rd seed and Express North the 4th.
Rebels played well, but by the rules did not place because there goal differential was worse.

What happen? It was freezing cold all day and they crashed on their 5th game. It happens.

Chan didn’t play because he didn’t want to lose. His team tied Igloo because the first line never came off the field. He knew he couldn’t tie them again and he didn’t want to go home losing a game. Cheater!

You are wrong. Read the rules.
Since Express North and Scwalje tied on points since both went 2 to 1, they next look at if they had a head to head game. Which they did for the 3rd game. Schwalje won that game which put them ahead of Express North.
The 2025 forfeit moved Schwalje up from 4th to 3rd. And North into the 4th spot.

I will prove it another way. If you were right then after the forfeit Express North would have been 3rd and played Igloo while Shwalje would have been 4th and played Taz in the playoffs. The opposite occurred.
You gave to read the tourney rules for tiebreakers. Each tourney is different.

Your partially right. He didnt play because after tieing igloo, he could not be sure he would win playoff game.
And since Schwalje lost 1st game to Taz, he could not be sure Schwalje would win playoff against Taz. If they both lost then no Express team would be in championship game. Much more probable Schwalje would beat Igloo and make it to championship.
After all Chan team already had tournanent tshirt from the day before anyway.

Actually one of their parents told me their extreme holdback missed game one. He essentially won the championship game for them. Creates their whole offense. Great player. Turning 14 soon they said

Chan is a complete Cancer to the lacrosse community. Everyone knows it. From the crap he pulls with his team's to his $110 an hour terrible private lessons. People WAKE UP, you are in CHARGE.... This clown only has power because you let him take it from you.....

So what did Chan tell is 2025 team? We forfeit when we aren’t sure we can win. We only play when we know we can win! Is that the kind of coach you want teaching your son? What a disgrace!
And make your son sit there on a freezing cold day and for some games not even touching the field for 2 minutes. Fun day and great lessons to teach your child! He’s disgusting!

B team? TB drew the hardest schedule and played taz, and both express teams to 3 goal games. Rebels, igloo, outlaws s2s and Chan would’ve lost each game by 12+.

Isn’t Express North the team that got in when 2025 went home? The team that won became the 3 seed instead of the 4. It’s more on Blatant than Chan but no matter what Legacy looked awful in the championship. Riding the one kid was predictable and unproductive. Especially when every parent told him to take over the game and he started shooting 2 pointers. The goal legacy scored against themselves really broke their back.

Lets just say that's not the team you will see in Denver

You’re referring to Express correct? Heard they were missing holdback for first game. Didn’t know he made second game.

Heard he has a ton of kids on that ‘24 team. Were there a lot on the sideline yesterday?

Great showing by [ChillLaxin] this weekend. I think this is a team to watch out for when the qualifiers come around for the WSYL!

I dont think 1 player on Schwaljes team would make that much of a difference.
I do wonder if after Chan forfeited the 2025 spot, did Chan have any of his best players stay to play on Schwaljes team for the playoff and championship. That would have given Schwaljes team a lot more depth and multiple strong lines to pull from.

Ha! That explains alot. Kid ran the entire offense in the final. Without him it was just turnovers and goalie catch. Guess Chan didn't have a lot of faith in Shwalee...had to bring in a ringer. Where was this kid last year?

really does not matter. they split the day. Hats off.

Thats BS. Of course it matters. Its absolutely against the rules to add kids from one team to another to just win a game.
Schwalje should be ashamed of win, if they took kids from Chan team to help in championship.
