Really? Either you or your children are not being truthful. After careful examination of the evidence, any prudent observer would conclude, you are the one not being truthful. If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, guess what? It’s a duck.

This is what they do when they get challenged. They make excuses. Typical.

No horse in the race? You just routinely watch 2023 B level lacrosse games with absolutely no horse I the race? That seems a bit off...

You are the reason nobody likes the WP parents or Spalina's.

I watched the BBL WP game for a bit. WP looked very good but what stuck out was the lack of ability to score from anything other than shots from close range. Great skill set but coach cried on any hit of consequence by BBL. WP parents are a obnoxious bunch for sure. They will need some size to compete next year. Enjoy the time in the sun.

Please continue WP talk on another thread

now that is funny, first using 2022 on a town team, i have never heard of a town team doing that, especially not GC where you wait your turn in the program, a program that goes to the LIC or NYSC each year, so your 2022 claim is a lie, and so is the clock bs. If your are a WP parent, get over it. enjoy the ride to the WSYL, but don't disparage a town, a team, a coach or the kids.
You have this whole thing backwards, a 24 team played well against a 23 team, see the positive and focus on your goal. To freak out now over a fall game is nuts, so much more pressure to come. You won't make it to July.

the gc 23's played up then came back to play with actual team.

True Blue and JC must be happy that nobody is talking about them anymore. Boy they fell off the planet.

Now that’s some creative damage control. I like that. Total BS, but love the effort.

Lol. That was great. Gave me a good chuckle!

Not a WP parent, but now I’m curious. Did these 23’s not play in the previous two games? Because nobody from GC has explained how GC ties BBL which WP obviously blew out. Based on the score, the game was not competitive. Somebody from GC please explain that. Because to this point, all I’m hearing is a lot of bragging about the GC program, but no explanation. That is the question that needs to be answered.

No explanation needed. A tie game means the teams were evenly matched, which is what we should all want when we attend a tournament. Both teams were challenged. That is a good thing. This bracket was set up well based on the amount of tie games. Kudos to the directors

Wow ...not a wp parent.....sure ...lol...Let it go already the tiurnament is long over...We get it ...the wolfpack is a good team....Move on already

Hey Wolf Pack act like your older brothers the Bandits and stay off of BOTC, or go to your younger thread. You parents are disgracing the organization.

Explanation options for you to choose from, please pick one or all of the above.

1. BBL played poorly against WP
2. GC played better than previous games against WP
3. WP did not play as well against GC
4. All of the above

Yes please. the parents are a bunch of spoiled brats. BTW we are part of 91 not WP and everyone there knows how they act. They also have about 5 or 6 kids on their team that should be playing 2023 , so why they brag is beyond me.

Again, not a WP parent, but to an unbiased observer, that is simply not logical. Based on that answer, I have to side with the WP parent on this one.

Yes, this is the 2023 group not 2024 people should not be on here commenting about how your older brothers the Bandits lost to the ACS this weekend.

just looked it up and they didnt play ACS

An explanation is most definitely in order. Getting on here and arrogantly saying "I'm from GC, how dare you challenge this program" isn't an answer. This is youth lacrosse, the Wild West of youth sports. Pulling stud players from other teams, is beyond commonplace. I looked at the scores. While I don't know anything about Wolfpack, something definitely stinks here. Sounds to me like GC is bashing Wolfpack parents as a smokescreen, to divert attention away from something they are hiding. What is GC hiding? The scores definitely don't add up.

GC is a reputable team. The coach of the 2023’s is the varsity coach and has never played to win. He consistently put that town team in A brackets for the last 4 years, that I know of, and they got beat down more often than not. My sons team generally beats them by close to 10 goals every time they play. The coach doesn’t worry about that. He’s doing it to make the varsity program better.

When it comes down to it, it’s merely a matter of matchups. Maybe WP leading scorer was shut down by a GC defender. Maybe WP middies are not big or strong enough to cover the big fast GC kid (coach’s kid I think). Maybe GC dominated the X. Maybe WP defender could stop a GC attack. All it takes is one of those things to happen and the game is drastically changed. Comparing common opponents can be used as a guide, but it doesn’t really mean much when the horn blows.

To come on here and accuse them of cheating just because they beat a team that’s a year younger is a little ridiculous, don’t you think? WP is a, primarily, 2024 team. They will beat a bunch of 2023’s, for sure, but definitely not most of them. They are supposed to lose. JA is smart, just like JS, he plays them up in weak tourneys so they can get used to bigger opponents. That doesn’t mean more skilled, just bigger.

Wolf pack losers 💩

A pack parent here. I can honestly say, none of those generalities apply to what happened Saturday. Not one. You are a GC person, but you weren't even at the game on Saturday. In fact, you don't even have a son in the 2023 grad year. If you were there, you wouldn't post about scenario's that have no relevance to your case. Not a single one. The sole purpose of your post is to defend GC's integrity, which I can I appreciate, but I believe the poster is looking for a first hand account of what happened, based on the facts of the case, of which you have none. Just more GC... "we are the best, do you know how we are, how dare you, blah, blah, blah BS".

The only comment thus far, that has made any sense at all, is from the guy that posted about how "the '23's just got back from playing up". But it ended there. The only explanation I can think of, besides pulling from the 2022 team, would be if those TOP '23 players that played up, didn't play in the first two games. That is the only plausible explanation, besides pulling 2022 kids. But, that has not been presented.

Something definitely happened between GC's first two games and their last game. Something very significant. BBL was not a good team. No matchup problems. NOT good. Bad. Understand? We really don't care what you did, because in the end GC was a great test for our boys, but when something as dramatic that happens, people are going to naturally ask questions, no matter who you are. You are not exempt, just because you have a GC zip code. If there aren't any answers, the talk begins. Still no answers.

Now, you can come back and take the low road once again, and criticize the pack parents or take the high road and tell us how great GC is, but we all know that is all just to deflect attention away from the issue at hand. At this point, it sounds like we will never know.

Bro. You weren’t even at the game. GC didn’t win. It ended in a tie. Why are you commenting if you weren’t even at the game??

Hey BOTC... Can you set up a new thread just for WP & GC parents. This doesnt look like its going to end anytime soon.

People acting this is some legal deposition, demanding answers. It's a gossip board. Go do your own private investigation and go away.

Bro. You didn’t even lose, bro? And you’re still calling everyone a cheater?? Bro, you need to get ahold of that fragile ego of yours. Seriously, Bro. It’s ok that your little junior bro didn’t beat a good town team, bro. It’s ok, though bro. I’m sure he’ll still get that D1 full ride, bro. You can send coaches his 7th grade highlight films, bro. Bro, they’ll be super stoked at how awesome he is, bro. But be sure to leave out the GC game, bro. Don’t want coaches seeing little bro all banged up, bro.

Must really hurt deep inside WP daddy. enough already.

What will the Puppypack do when they play the big boys without the protection of LI refs? Parents will be beside themselves if this is any indication. Small and fast won’t be enough in another year or 2. Better grab a 1/2 team of holdbacks for the future. Just the beginning of the collapse.

Very impressed with the 91 box teams. To be very good at both field and box is impressive. Was there a method to the split of the teams at the maple leaf kickoff or just random.

So looks like the turtles are not as good as all the dads said they were going to be. They said” they can run with all the A teams on Li”.
Today they struggled to beat B teams today.
They even lost to one b team.
Well.....what will the excuse be now?
It’s a new team,not enough practice or the other teams cheated?!?
Well the are a good B team at least.

LOL......Here we go! Stirring the pot!
See and believe what you want. The first game was sloppy all around for both teams. The rest of the games they took care of business. At some point, in the near future, the hopes is that this talent pool can and will "run"/compete with those self appointed "A" teams.

Stop,their third game against another B team they only won by two goals!
Hey they looked good today I’m not saying they are bad at all. But to play with the bandits,express A,Igloo,True Blue,three village.Its not going to go well.
The Turtles will be one of the better B teams and that is great.Im not knocking the players they played well and coaching was good.
I’m just saying some of the turtles dads were talking a lot of smack and today was some humble for them.
I just don’t know why these dads can’t be happy or proud of their kids and team unless they are classified as “A” teams.
The B teams on Long Island this year for2023 are stacked with talent and that makes for great lax for all the teams.
Good luck to all and for the love of god enjoy your boy and watching him play.the A or B thing doesn’t mean crap except to the crazy dads.As long as they have fun and learn as they go they are on the right team.Peace!!

Who cares? Why would you start a thread like this? Hoping to bash some new team that’s just getting started? Get a life!

I'm not a Turtle parent, their team looked good once they began to click, especially for a newly formed team. My son plays on those one of those self "appointed A" teams went to watch his friend play, and came home talking about joining the Turtles next year.

At the end of the day, the only thing that matters is; a newly formed team with great caching, no daddy ball, all the boys get along, everyone plays, boys are happy to see one another do well. Most important, the team is developing, and all the boys went home HAPPY!
Poster sounds like he/she has an axe to grind with some of the parents on the Turtles

That's O.K. ..........we will be living "rent free" in that small space between his ears for months to come!......Unfortunately it's the size of a closet!

Baaahahahahahahaha!! “Not a Turtle parent”!!! You’re a joke.
