If that is true why did they bring in the best FOGO kid on Long Island to take all the faceoffs? If it wasn’t necessary bc LILC stinks then please explain that? And what about the best d and attack guy? Why not save their energy so they didn’t get SMOKED by the tigers In the finals. Oh let me guess u will say all the Tigers have drivers licenses. The 2025 /2026 FOGO is what even makes this CoachC team one of the best. Lose him and you are no better than LILC or any other club. .

You still didn't refute the facts of what was said. If you put AA players on any team against and with B talent, that raises the level of play for the B talent playing with AA players exponentially over the other team. Without those AA players, does the worst player on Express even get the ball to score?? Unless you can say that no other players from A or AA played on that B team, then Express is running a long con on a lot of people.

LILC is a good town team on their best day. Last time they played Express top team they lost by 15 goals. I do not think CoachC is that worried.

How do you come on here and qualify a kid as "the worst player"? That'll be a nice surprise for his parents to read.
Class act.

I guess he was worried enough to have his AA players jump in and play on the B team for tge championship

If that’s what you choose to tell yourself so you can sleep at night.

I dont need to tell myself anything. It happened for everyone to see.

Dude Im not a LILC parent. Nor am I an Express parent. And there is more than me that have written on this thread. I just made the last 2 stmts. And thats just the facts. Your coach put AA players into the B tournament so he could win the championship. The only reason to do that was because he felt the team could not have won on their own. If you have a better reason to explain why he put his AA players into the game, I am all ears. We all would love to know.

Hilarious. Considering I use a method that constantly chges my ip address.
I guess the team you think I am on must be international. Or maybe a parent who jets around constantly. Today I am in Spain. Where would you like me to be tomorrow. Let me know where you live. I can be there as well with a touch of a button.
You look more foolish every time you respond.

Agree,Tiger parents understand the game ,kids and parents have respect for good lacrosse, they have a stud player who plays hard and thats how sports work and yes it should have been 91 and Tigers in final, first game was great / wish Hawks parents/players would learn from Laxachusetts and Tiger parents its ok to win , its ok to dominate but do it with class / sportmanship humble ??/ any of those words ever spoken to those Hawk kids

Express has a 40 man team, which is why they have Haugen Black and Haugen Orange, at any time they can choose to put whoever they want on at any particular time. Stop crying about it. Every kid is a AA player or every kid is an A player. The flexibility is there so that kids can play with many other kids and get the best experience. Big deal you want a T shirt but didnt get it, we are getting the best experience with kids playing at multiple levels.

Really nice for the parents of the kid who scored that you called him "Literally the worst player on the express b team" Classy

Your not getting experience. What B$.
Your playing your top kids at both A abd B brackets just to win tshirts.
The stuff that comes out of your mouth.
Best experience would ge oractice together. Then split teams equally for tournaments based on skill levels so that everyone gets adequate pkaying time.
Havibg kuds play in both brackets at the same tournament has nothing to do with the kids. It has to do with your coachs ego and his need to win trophies no matter what level.
And its done at the expense of kids who have to sit on the sidelines while they watch other kids who already played in the AA bracket now steal ther time on the field.
You should be ashamed.

If they are all the same level, then she should all be in the same bracket at a tournament. Not one up and one down. That completely nullifies the fluid movement of players from one team to another. Why have 2 teams then, if there aren't differences in skill level? It's absurd.

LOL 👌

Wow, do Hawks parents have to pay rent for that space they own in your head

I get all the things you are saying, but then why enter the one Orange team in a B brackets playing against B teams. I think that's why everyone is crying.

That's not the issue. The orange team belonged in that bracket, as evidenced by the fact they were losing to LILC. The issue is then having kids from the black team playing in the AA bracket jump into the games when the orange team was losing to save face.

bizarre the way parents are caught up with: how big a kid is and therefore he must too old. How fast a kid is and therefore he must be too old. some kids have better genetics. case in point this age (strict age cutoff mind you) football and hoops at a semi-high level, whole different level of size and speed.

Poor you. Your son didn't get a T-shirt.

Had those 3 middies 1 fogo 1 attack and 1 d guy NOT gone into that game LILC would have crushed Express Haugen Orange so if everyone says LILC is just a decent town team I think the joke is on the Express parents that are paying $4K for an avergage b team that can be beat by an town team. I heard LILC is $1K- can that be true? And again without that stud FOGO even the double A team is just a decent club. My money is on 91 to be the best LI team. Express does well in LI tourneys but once they cross the Throgs Neck they get crushed. 91 plays as a team and has depth. And everyone sees the field. Im sure many of the 40 express kids got t shirts but didn't see the field.

Call the coach of the team. Why complain here? Just venting? Tell him directly to his face at a tournament or on the phone if you feel so strongly. Not trying to be a donk here but c'mon.

this forum is for aa lacrosse go to b-rank forum somewhere else please

So they are going to have 40 kids on the sidelines when they go to NAL in 2 weeks? I guess more than 40 if 2025 is in between games.

Keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel good. Express troll. Your sweet boy must've ben cut. You'll say he wasn't to save face though.
FYI - 91 and Express scrimmaged already this year. Express won.

Ha, I thought the same thing. Hopefully, unlike us, they don't know that this site exists.

91, legacy, express, who is best of 2026

Believe what you want. Have fun in Delaware.

No dog in this fight. I have seen a ton of facts stated that kids from the AA or A team came to play on the B team. Just refute that with facts and the argument is over. I have seen multiple people identify the 3 kids that were pulled from one team to the other (fogo, attack and defense) but the only defense of that is some iteration of "sorry your kid didn't get a shirt" Can you 100% say that the kids playing on the AA and A team did not play on the B team. That ends it. And if they did, then that is hilarious and congrats on the shirts

So does Express 2026 play with Express 2025 players when possible???

Another Express parent who only cares about winning. My feeling is that 91 is the better team. They are a tougher team and it showed this weekend when they played the Tigers.

Anyone who knows anything about lacrosse knows that pre-season scrimmages aren’t about who wins or loses. It is an opportunity to evaluate your players. What works and what doesn’t work? Who has chemistry and who doesn’t? Can express win without playing 2025 players? And I’m not referring to their FOGO. And any Express parent who wants to come on here and proclaim that Express is the better team better hope that the 2025s don’t have a game at the same time as your 2026s. Because without your FOGO, it won’t even be close.

It sounds like that is what he is saying. But that would be the same as using a holdback. They wouldnt do that.

It’s crazy how everyone is express obsessed. This must be the craziest thread on this website. I had no idea there were so many psychos next to me on the sidelines. Gotta keep my head on a swivel I guess

I actually don’t obsess over Express.. I do, however, detest delusional parents.

You must be new here. You've come to the perfect spot if you want to see adults obsess over 11/12 year old lacrosse though.

I don't see how its cheating if we have 40 players. Coach can decide when and where to play them. Everyone was told that people would be going to certain tournaments some based on availability etc. So because it was tristar and everyone is there, the schedules were arranged so that it basically was one team of 40 guys. When we were in Blatant there was only one team. By the way we won that one also. And a roster was made. Another roster of kids will go to delaware and it will be more then 20 (half of 40),, but not all 40 will go. All the games were good games, the team in the A division would have likely beat some of the other teams in AA division as well. Express has two teams that are basically AA.
