I saw a few of the Prime Time 2024 games this past weekend as well. Not much has changed from last year, solid overall effort, but offense is very one dimensional and attack centric skewed towards the lefty attack. definitely holding the ball too long at attack and taking some poor shots resulting in turnovers. Not sure this team will do very well until they incorporate the entire offense and utilize the middies . I see this team as probably #5 out of 6 in the regional qualifiers this year behind, 91, express, Legacy, Eclipse .

Whats the difference between predators 2023 and predators black?

Black is the B team. One of the better B teams around.

Preds black is their money grab B team.

Bulldog Bash looks chilly for Saturday. Preds 23 should win since PT is a no show. Now this is clearly a B tourney.

Primetime ranked 8th in the wsyl pre season rankings, 5th in the region out of 6 spots leaves express north, igloo, shore to shore 2 way and predators fighting for the 6th spot -

How many ineligible holdbacks are on Preds, 2Way and Express N?

My ranking for that 6th spot
Igloo- not sure it they are a hold back org or not.
Preds- 1-2 max. Just lost to BBL 14 year old 2024 team 4-3.
EN- Have a few but not many. One of their top players is 2 days ineligible.
2way- too many to count and didnt do well at Blatant against top teams
S2S- Should not be on that list at all. The Vikings team is an average A team at best

I'm guessing 2 way has the most, followed by express followed by predators

It is going to be 48 degrees. Balmy for end of November lax.

After getting 6 inches of snow then rain, I’m sure the fields at Yale will be unplayable on Saturday.

Why do the favor the lefty attack so much K.H.

any chance , any of the tourneys happen tomorrow?

Igloo always strong, just a matter of if that specific year as good as last year and 3 years ago. But they'll be good and using kids on age.
Preds- Solid, don't rely on holdbacks, not as good as their 2023 crew
Express North- yes, holdbacks but will still compete well at qualifier
2way- many holdbacks so WSYL team is major step down and many kids grabbed to fill holes from wherever
S2S- organization made for the 2023 team, 2024 drop off

I thinking Igloo or express North takes that 6th spot- Express North can grab from their ct teams as well to fill in for any gaps

So where is the guy who ranks all the teams? Fall is over. Hit us with the latest polls. Bad weather and weird scheduling limited results. Here's crack at it

2023 can be put in levels:
PT
Preds
----------
Express North
----------
Eclipse
2Way
---------
91TS
Pride

2024 tougher because of WSYL coming up and rosters changing. Here is how I think they will do in qualifier (if they enter)
Eclipse
PT
Express North
Preds
2Way
91TS

IMO 2023 Fall Ranks

Top 3 local teams hadd success in fall. Large drop after #3. Primetime, Express North, and Preds all won or made fianls of solid tournaments. Usuall suspect 2-Way and Eclipse really fell off but summer is around the corner. Westchster/Fairfield B teams rising as overall pool evens out in middle.

1. Primetime
2. Preds
3. Express North
4 2-Way
5. Preds "B"
6. Eclipse
7. Express North CT
8. 91 TS Select
9. all others

2024

Tricky as all only Eclipse really did well although all played very tough schedules.

1. Eclipse
2. Primetime
3. Express North
4. Preds
5. 91 TS
6. 2-Way

Thoughts...

Which Fall tourneys has Eclipse played?

Preds 2024’s came in 2nd at Lehigh, losing 4-3 against a BBL team that was basically all 14 year old holdbacks.
Nothing tricky about that. They are are strong.

K.H. is not on Prime Time anymore he went to Predators

Now that fall is behind us in terms of tourneys, I would like to know what clinics, camps, leagues etc people are doing this winter. Any thoughts?

I have no problem with arguments 2024 Preds is as good as Express at this point. Very possible they overtake Express or even Primetime during summer 2019. For now they are a close 4th.

at this point it really doesn't matter , who is the best, all the boys and girls will be working hard all winter and that's all that matters , its 7th grade lacrosse find a team that makes your child happy, and consider it a victory!!

2 way 3v3, 2 way reps, - Greenwich boys and girls
superstar box- somers
91 ts - Tuesday at Armonk
Brewster Ultra league-
Vortex Lacrosse- Justin otto- Chelsea piers

what else is out there?

ts 91 box

Eclipse vs Express vs Laxachusetts next weekend

Pat Jackson Gwich Lacrosse indoors reps for 6th grade and under
HOS box league

Eclipse would destroy Preds B

Which tournament?

play day. btw, express LI

What and where is that?

what year?

True. That's a 12-2 game.

3 way scrimmage for 2024

How are the Westchester girls teams? I watched my friends daughter's team play against HOS and Lady Predators at a tournament a few weeks back and it was ugly. And she's only on a mediocre Long Island Team (9D1 2025 OF).

When and where is this battle of the bands taking place?

This is funny

Express Northvs Express vs Shore 2 Shore tomorrow in LI.

Express Northvs Express vs Shore 2 Shore tomorrow in LI.

Separate question? How can a player play down? I understand player with older kids but do clubs let kids play with younger kidsvs his/her age?
