Igloo did tie WP last year. Express beat WP 1 time, ever, and has lost the other 7-10 times. Taz was 1-1-1 against WP last year. WP has beaten and lost to every top team out there. (Express, TAZ, 91 MD, Bethesda, Hawks, Madlax, Laxachusettes) Just facts, no opinion.[/quote]

Remember Pack Daddy you lost more than you won last year and Taz has been the top dog for years. WP was crushed at NLF in June by Hawks, tied a weak igloo team at laxest, lost to express at spring jam, embarrassed by taz at Elite 8, spanked by Laxachusetts at NLF championships

They will hide all fall and winter and by spring it will be fun to watch the team self destruct. Spallina, legacy daddy coaches, new top talent and long time packers sitting the bench which is now much longer. Tick tock BOOM...coming soon to a sideline near you

Please don’t forget taz got beat by true blue but Wolfpack Express and igloo never have

They'll hide and play weak teams where all the kids play. He'll say he's "Getting used to the team." and "wants to see what they can do." Until the final payments are made to 91; then Spallina will do what he wants with the team and it will be too late for anyone to do anything about it. Of course, you're thinking "that won't happen to my kid." You'll see.

Every Travel team roster that has over 20 kids can NEVER make every parent happy. It's impossible. Especially when you play for such a hard charging "Best in the grade" team. I have witnessed and continue to witness teams winning in spite of who they have on the field. This constant daddy ball will slowly go away especially when the wins don't come. Pack was not cutting it last year and the organization knew it. They crushed tryouts and recruited top players for the push to get back on TV. At this point its all hype. The last game Pack played They lost..... They next 2 weeks will decide who is top dog on Long Island and 91 will not be in the conversation. Not because they are not good but because they aren't playing anyone....

Just another huge thank you to all of you jealous haters out there. You guys have really outdone yourselves the last few days, with all your endless posts about the pack. Really lighting up the board! Well done gentlemen. You’re in mid-season form already! It’s really very flattering knowing that our team is the one that EVERYONE compares themselves to and aspires to be! It’s especially humbling, knowing our boys have been held in such high regard, for sooooooo very long. We take the trust that you have bestowed on our boys very seriously. They are working extra hard, knowing the burden that they carry. They will not dissappoint!

These tourneys are so bad, the 2025 teams are entering them in the 24 bracket. Easy bracket. All LI B teams. Complete waste of time. Good luck against the 25 Express team, B team daddy’s. You’re going to need it.

Top dawg will be 2025 Express team as they beat up on all the 2024 B teams.

You guys are pretty funny. None of this best team stuff really matters. If your kid is serious about lacrosse and is a good player it does not matter what team he plays for or if they win in Denver or Maryland or Huntington. The kids that compete and aren’t on the best team will still get recruited, still have fun and still play their best. Maybe they won’t have as many T-shirts in a box in their parents attic. My son places on what you guys consider a B team. He likes his teammates and his coaches and loves the game. Would he make a top level team? Possibly. Would he play? Not very much. And at 12/13 years old we think it’s more important and fun to start for a team and try and compete against the top teams than watch the 15 kids on your team win you a t shirt. The difference between the top teams and the next level is having 23 kids totally committed to getting better while the next level has 9 of those. My hats off to the boys that play at that high level. While everyone knows that there are 9 kids on those top teams that are extremely good players and will rarely see the field. When those kids and their parents realize you don’t need to sit on the bench of a top team just to be considered a winner and eventually lose the love of the sport to be successful that things will even out. FYI. There are recruiting events you can go to and get recognized outside of team tournaments. Stop buying in to the best team garbage and start looking out for your own.

Well said. The best proof of this is to read the 2020, 2021 and 2022 boards. I'll bet back in 7th/8th grade it ws exactly what you read here on who is the best. take a look now...nobody cares. It's all-out showcases, prospect days, etc. None of the parents care who wins laxest

[/quote] This must be a joke ! Was not impressed!

You actually read ALL the boards?!! Do you have a job? A family? A life? Pathetic lost.

100% incorrect. Winning and being the best is what motivates successful people. Obviously not something you are familiar with. That’s why your kid is on a B team, following in the foot steps of his B team daddy. You think that your son has no shot at ever being “best” at anything so you “quit” that notion, as all losers do. The winners will keep striving for greatness, leaving you and your quitter son in their dust. You both now can only read and admire such people so you do so by spending countless hours on this site, as just another jealous hater. In a few years prospect days will be important for some of us (obviously not you) but right now nobody cares nor should they. They aren’t relative at this age. Building a winner child is, which goes hand in hand with a winning team. I know your little argument is designed to make yourself and others like you feel better, but in four years you will all be in the exact same boat with your lost attitude, reading about my kid and his winning team doing amazing things and succeeding in life. Remember, sports are a microcosm of life.

This last response is pathetic! The guy had a very valid post. This last response, this is obviously your first child and you are living through your kid! What a lost!

HOLDBACKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

So all the WP bashing continues. Bottom line " " Talkers. Forget every tournament that everyone on here argues about holdbacks and all the other nonsense lies that are spread. WSYL is the only TRUE age based tournament for the 2024 class. Its real simple if the WP isn't the best and you think your boys team is,than that tournament is where you get to prove it. Fall Ball, Winter ball and a couple of summer tournaments will bring bashing and chest flexing, but in the end where age matters and there is no hiding, you will have a grand stage to prove if you can take down which seems to be the team everyone wants a shot at. Talk is easy. Step up

If a child isn't in the 7th grade and plays for 2024 team, he's not allowed to play in the Blatant Tournament.

Time to put the clubs down and stop the bashing. Just want to say good luck to all the teams this eeekend. My money is on the ‘25 team.

Bro, no one wants a shot at them. Everyone is scared to death of this team. They are all cowering behind a key board, afraid to even attach a team to themselves. Not a single one of them. Total cowards.

Irish triplets. What can I say my wife gets [ChillLaxin] after birth.

the 3 best LI 2024 teams are playing local the next 2 weekends WP is not,,,nuff said...yes,we are all cowards that will be in the next 2 tournaments..where will 91 be??

Just because your little Rabil is the 12th middie on the roster and only sees the field when your up by 10 goals does not make him a winner. And the fact you wrote that post difinitely shows your not a winning. And just because you are janitor of the month does not make you successful. Now you can go back to telling your wife and kids about the 6 [ChillLaxin] you scored senior year of HS.

100%. A Grand Stage to back their S%!# Talking and they will make every excuse. If you want to kill the King and take the throne why not do it in front of the whole Kingdom

The only ones that were scared was the club, that's why they brought on 6 or 7 new players. . 3 holdbacks to boot. Bring it on . With all you have you should win. Lets go everyone is waiting .

Glad you asked. Our boys will be playing an elite team. Absolutely top notch. Best of the best. Tough, talented, big, quick and fast. Smart as they come. No question, the toughest competition they will face all year. That's right, they will be scrimmaging themselves.... not wasting their time playing 11 year olds in the worst tourney of the season. How embarrassing for you.

Nice gesture by the 91 coaches. Giving the old starters one last opportunity to start a game before they go to the bench. I'm assuming is coaching the orange pines and The dads and their sons are on the other side?

Yes, I'm sure that they will be just fine in their cocoon for now, however, the days of the national holdback programs are slowly approaching, you will be in for a rude awakening...just look at what happens to teams like 91 Bandits when they face those programs, for better or worse, it's a whole different game

correction: the three-second-best teams are playing local.

Yet another failure at life, perpetuating same in his kids. Sad.

Even with all their 7th grade cheaters, they cannot win. If the 2025 team wins, the teams that lose should give up lacrosse ....

Every one of the top 3 teams playing has beaten 91 last year,,who anointed them as the top team?

Correction. I count two at most. Both Igloo teams are B’s. Assuming Express is still an A. Jury is still out in Legacy.

?? Was that some kind of strange attempt at being clever? Dude. That was just weird.

Hey ‘24 parents. There’s a new sheriff in town and he is in the form of a bunch of 11 year olds. ‘25 Express is your new daddy. Come get some!!

we all know the order as of today. things will/can change this year but if asked any knowledgable lacrosse parent or coach would say:
1- WP
2- Taz
3- Express
4- Igloo

We, the people.

Igloo, assuming that B team is one of your “top teams” is winless vs pack in at least a dozen tries. Express beat pack with a lucky goal last year, FIRST AND ONLY TIME, in about 2 dozen tries. Hey, even the pack can have a bad day. Taz is the only legit team out of the three. But based on major off season hits to their roster, elite status is in question. There you have it gents. Pack is still king of the pack.

Express won NLF that puts them on top last year.

Pretty sure you’ll be putting Express ahead of Taz after this weekend. And, the list ends there. There is no #4. At that point, they go to B teams.

Holdbacks=Lies
Players losing spots=Lies
Hiding out from tournaments=Lies
Team is in turmoil=Lies
Boys don't show up to practice=Lies

Beating the WP on any given day can happen. It happens to the best teams in any sport But if you had to play them 10 times I would bet that they would take 8 of those 10 games from you. That makes them the best. So enjoy the "but we beat them once in the last 6 years so how are they the best BS" The only team that can raise their hands is the Taz who had a great year against this team 2 seasons ago. The rest of you who snuck one in great job, feel good about it. It doesn't happen often. You will be hearing from the WP soon enough. Most teams are staying local this summer because of Denver so when the time comes keep checking Tourney machine to see if they are on your schedule, you have been for the last 6 years why stop now?
