BBL beat 2 91 teams, besides WP who else?

S2S not the same team, a few good players remain, but many have left

Any good town team play during the Koehler tournament?

which express team is which at blatant?

Hedstrom and Karowski. Is Karowski a new team? Also, who is Team 5? Force? Icon? I have never come across these teams. Team 5 is playing is playing in the A bracket.

Never heard of Team 5 and Icon. Don't know what their tuition cost is , but looks like many different clubs forming to escape the high cost of the typical club travel lacrosse.

Wow, that was ugly today at Blatant. Battle of the "B" teams in the "A" bracket. Congrats to the Warriors. Rebels do not belong in the "A" bracket. True Blue had a tough day. GC had an off day.

Team 5.....Who. Nothing against the boy's. But their middle aged father dressed like a teenager, clad in Vans slip on sneakers, who calls himself a coach. This guy has been talking up a storm since the fall. Yes they went 1-1 against the warriors in a well played game in the Fall, but to talk so much trash about the Warriors up until yesterday, you got what you deserved. He even had a well known travel coach on the sidelines coaching, with the addition of many new faces (boy's) on the team; middies, attack, goalie, poles, coach.... Not to mention, his top defender was thrown out the game for getting in the ref's face. He did very well as the SYAG/PAL coaching a group of boy's from his town, but couldn't leave well enough alone. Daddy looked like a deer in the headlights yesterday. Good luck to whatever coach and travel team his son plays on... He should be embarrassed!

Pretty ugly in the B division. Why did the Long Beach team leave and not play the championship game I know the kids were joking and saying that the coach said it was too late and they had to go home to get ready for school in the morning what really went down

The Father was last years Igloo castoff! True, whatever team he went to, beware.

Oh look it’s the creepy dad who is obsessed with what another man wears....welcome back. You were missed. Your obsession with this guy is borderline psychotic. You should seek therapy.

It's is kind of creepy to see a man, I expect over 35 to dress like he's a 15 year old trying to look like the kids he's coaching. Igloo had enough of that him and his marching band.

Looks like Long Beach should have been 2nd?

Looks like the wheels feel off the bus over in SYAG land.

That model has been tried many times and I’ve never seen it work. There are too many kids playing on too many different teams. Zero continuity is built because parent and player priorities are elsewhere. The coaches have passion, but they don’t have a strong background in lacrosse, and as the kids got older, their skills has surpassed the coaches knowledge. Apparently one of their defenders got in the ref’s face and started dropping f-bombs yesterday, too. That shows a lack of leadership and respect. Sometimes there is such a thing as too much lacrosse.

True Blue parents are ridiculous. I watched some of the Rebel/TB game and the parent nonsense didn’t disappoint. The Rebel helmets are terrible. They gave TB a run for their money. Very physical game. TB didn’t seem to blow out any of the competition. I am surprised Warriors didn’t beat them by more.

The B bracket games my kid played in or we saw were fairly evenly matched for the most part. BBL is a good team as is LB. they have obviously been playing together awhile. From talking to parents most of the B teams are new or have had some big changes recently. Will be interesting see if the Express teams get it together. S2S has a solid defense but no offense. Taking FO with a long pole out of the gate screams that they have issues. The Icon team was inconsistent. One second they seemed together and the next couldn’t catch and throw. Outlaws have fallen.

Nobody dropped f bombs at the ref. Were you even watching or just making stuff up and spreading rumors about kids??

I heard from numerous people that one of their defenders got in the refs face, complaining loudly and angrily about a call and about another player hitting him, and dropped f-bombs. I trust the people who told me.

You “heard”? Hahaha are you 10? So not only did you come on to stir the pot, this is not even first hand info? You guys are new level of low.

No. Sending a pole out on the faceoff to take out the opposing players that was dominating. That’s low. Allowing your players to run at a ref and scream in his face (curse or not). That’s low. These are actions that have been typical of that coach and those players for years. Their players have begun to take the personality of the coach. It’s a shame, because it’s the boys that will be hurt by their association with him and that team.

not true. Please, you can stuff your lies in a sac !! It’s clear you have a personal problem .

Yes, It is true, and time has finally caught up to him (coach). In first place, it's not like one person saying this, many have questioned his character over the years regarding the style of coaching he instilled in his team. Sunday was a bad look for HIM and HIM alone. Further, association with him? he has his steady marching band group, but they are slowly separating themselves from him. Finally, just keep in mind, he could be very disruptive if and when he becomes unhappy with his current travel team. (went to WSYL last year and still wasn't happy)
