What happened to 91? What a shame - they should change their name to Ninety "one and done"

May I suggest a simple solution, video. All your phones have it. Unfortunate to have to go to those lengths but if it will end the uncertainty, I don't see a problem with it.

This is a comical statement. The Hawks team is the smallest team around. Smaller than most 2026 teams. Ironically 3 of the 4 teams that made it to the finals are very small, LI Express, 91LI and the Hawks. Shows you don’t have to be huge to play this game. Want to see a big team, Look at Bethesda, Laxchusetts or Big 4HHH. Speed and skill is just as important as size. Many big kids rely on their size their whole life and don’t develop the skill. All 4 semi final teams showed why they belonged there and Express showed why they are #1 right now. Could change at any tournament. This is what makes it fun!

The won...Period...Stop making excuses about older kids. This weekend confirmed what we all knew. Chuckster is the best, 91 came out of hibernation to show they are better than the Igloos of the world but still not on Par with The Expresses. And then there are "The rest" Older kids, younger kids, whatever... It is a fact.

So that begs the question, who will play Express on ESPN on July 4th? Will Blast make the trip for nothing? Maybe CSH shows up and bounces them from the qualifier. Are Hawks or 91 Md going to be age eligible?

And 91 MD showed that they are on par with Express. 1 point apart pretty much shows equal teams.

The Answer is WHO CARES! As long as it isnt my son's team and my wallet isnt getting punished I could give a hoot less! I'll be eating Nathans Hotdogs on the 4th, not debating if a kid is of age at a LI Lax tournament played in Denver. WAKE UP FOLKS!

True, But ESPN will be on your TV at 6pm on July 4th. Because your son and his friends will be watching and you might sneak a peak. My guess is it will be Express vs BBL.

My son will be in a pool, playing with his friends. The last thing on his mind will be "I wonder if Express won?" I can promise you he will be more concerned about what flavors the ice cream man will be serving that day. The only way he will know the results is when he hears the obsessed parents at the next practice talking about it. And if I sneak a peek at that meaningless propaganda on 4th of July weekend, rather than hanging out with my son, I may as well sit in my garage with the car running and take deep breaths as I would have failed miserably in life But for the purposes of this board I'd still take Express and give the points.

OMG THE BEST POST I HAVE EVER SEEN THAT IS HILARIOUS

Brotherly Love beat 91 MD on Sunday. They built a team for the WSYL, it would be nice to see an MD or PA team play Express in the finals.

91 MD 25s didn’t play on Sunday.

Really??!?! To this poster......... If you tried out for 91 this year, do you think they would have taken you? Watch yourself before you are called out. This isn’t how it works everywhere, and you know it.

The person on Brotherly Love is confused. They are mixing up 91 MD with 3D MD.
Brotherly Live was at the Warrior Famous Autumn Classic tournament run by Aloha. It was in Maryland.
Not the same level of competition as Deleware. They ended up against Sweetlax in championship and beat Sweetlax. (Sweetlax didnt even make it to playoffs in Deleware).

Oh really?????????

How many true 2024 players does Team 91 Maryland use?

Because MM’s kid loves to post on social media how he plays on the 2025 team. Posts come ... ALL THE TIME!

MM’s kid is on the 2024 Team 91 Maryland team!

Ask any kid you know to confirm this.

Team 91 Maryland are cheating DB’s to the core!

Wait! Is that the soubd of Express whining and complaining?? I thought Express doesnt do that?

I quote:
"2025 CoachC spanked the hawks 10-3 while 91 dads are still driving home saying in the car ride home “ did you see the size of those kids on the hawks , They’re older they’re bigger “ lol. Lame excuses, get on the field and play ball and stop your whining, you don’t see express whining and complaining do you , nope , just good load fashioned ballin"

Hmmm. Sounds like its Express doing the whining and complaining about other teams being "older and bigger".
Too funny. What a fool.

I guess the shirt didn’t fit. You should be happy your son was an important contributor, oh wait



Don’t worry,Chuckster will get him in next tournament

MM’s kid was on 24s and is now on 25s along with another boy on the team, but they had been playing up for the last few years. So, his son is a legit 25 and they will have their entire team for the World Series event.

YOU ARE A LIEING SACK OF LaxinItUp!!

MM’s kid has ABSOLUTELY NOT been playing up the last few years! He is a TRUE 2024! And still is! Has been since DAY ONE! NEVER has played up. Never!

Read the kids posts donkey! He is a 2024 who loves playing down on the 2025 team. His posts are NONSTOP.

TEAM 91 Maryland. The true cheater team of 2025.

Dont bother explaining to the Express parents. They love to make excuses. The say "Stop making excuses about older kids." And sure enough that exactly what they do. Pot calling the kettle black.
They dont like to face the facts that there are teams out there that can compete with them. They need to get used to it.

My boy plays on a 2024 team and has been playing Team 91 and MM and MM’s kid since its inception. So when you say that MM’s kid has been playing up with the 2024’s the past couple of years, you are lying. I know the kid and MM. the kid is and always has been a 2024 on the team that MM coaches. You need to come up with some better lies that aren’t so easily verifiable. MM and his Team 91 Maryland would sell his mother for a new t-shirt. Real slimy guy and organization. As bad as it gets in youth lacrosse and that’s saying a lot.

For starters, why is a grown Meanyman following a 12/13 year old on social media? That’s just creepy. Secondly, quit hating on a kid who was willing/able to play up for eventually coming back down to his true grade. Just applaud him and move on....and don’t be a pedophile.

Yes, you are correct that his son has been on the 2024 team since inception, until last year. 91 MD hasn’t been around as long as many of the other clubs, so I used the phrase “a few years”.

No reason to lie and you can verify that he is on the 25 team and on age, when they compete in the World Series events. Saying your 24 son has played against him for years, doesn’t discredit the fact that he was playing up or prove that he is a holdback.

And per your precious post, the fact that you follow a 7th graders social media is concerning on many levels.

Meet the real whining parents. The EXPRESS PARENT.
Dude take your own advice.

What a fool.

CoachC get control of your whining Express parents. They love to give out advice. But they dont walk the walk.
"Stop making excuses about older kids."

You people are just insane with this. If you only knew. My nephew was on a good club team, 2 time all county in high school. Played at a very good D1 school. My sister and brother in-law saved about 40 thousand in college tuition over 4 years, not bad. He is hoping next year to be hired as a full time teacher and assistant lax coach. Also not bad. That’s the end of it people. This isn’t the NFL, this isn’t baseball, basketball. To see people go crazy over this, spend an absurd amount of money, bad mouth each other, insult the other teams, over something where there isn’t a lacrosse living at the end of the road, makes no sense to me.

FOLD THE DENVER TOURNEY! ITS ANARCHY!

i guess 91 Blast is playing up in the '24 bracket at the fall classic. Avoiding the regulators perhaps?

They have to play 2024 from now on. They brought on 2024's after last weekends loss. WSYL eligible, but still 2024's. At least they're doing the right thing and playing in the correct bracket. It's the weakest 2024 bracket, but they wont be cheating. Lets see if they continue that all season. I suspect not.

They have '24s on the team now. But they're probably just playing up so they have a built in excuse in case they lose. The last time they tried playing up I thought those tiny kids were going get seriously hurt.

They lost to Roar last year. Regulators should be better than Roar.

Let them play in Garden City and call it Denver. Then charge them $7000 per player and give them a Warp and T shirt. Cha ching! GO HAWKS!

You make no sense to me.

What does making a living from a sport have to do with anything?? That’s completely inconsequential in youth sports.

You really think the end game for all things is based on only dollars? Friend, you have ALOT to learn in this life.

People play this game because they LOVE it, no strings attached. Players and fans are ibsessed with it. The sport is no less competitive or less serious because one can’t make a living from it. One has nothing to do with the other.

Wake up!

The point that was trying to be made was how insane a lot of parents get over this. Parents bad mouthing each other, bad mouthing other teams. This team is cheating, that team is cheating. He is a holdback, that guy is a double holdback. It goes on and on. Insanity, the money being spent is crazy as well. To do this over a 10 year youth lacrosse span, makes no sense. Especially being that there is no upside at the end of this. Kids play the game because they love it. I was referring to the crazy parents, not the kids or lacrosse fans.

NLF and my lacrosse tourneys have basically the fall finale event upcoming. Go to the tourney tent, demand to speak to the director and ask him his thoughts on a team playing with players that are not in the correct grade and what action does he planS on taking if proven to be factual.

Grade is the Problem Jackalope! You can be in any grade at any age which is the entire issue. Complain about AGE not GRADE.
Hear people complaining about 8th graders yet 7th graders are older !
World Series does it right and has the entire 2025 landscape trying to play along.
Good luck this weekend sounds like you are going to need it.

He will laugh at you! Bro. You don’t get it. These organizations are run by the clubs. The clubs are the ones behind the cheating because it’s all about the bottom line. The business of youth lacrosse is as corrupt as it gets. It’s all about big egos and big bucks for the owners. The bigger the person bag the bigger the profits. There is no accountability to any one or anything. Real trash.

Wow. 91 showing its integrity once again. That organization is definitely an anomaly in this dreadful business. Last year, the 2024 team went with one team all year long, whether WSYL or NLF or any other tournament, without a single holdback or guest player. I highly doubt there is any elite team anywhere that can make that claim. Most elite teams I know use 95% holdbacks, supplemented by players from same organization, but a grade older. In a very trashy business, Team 91 appears to be standing tall as the only organization with integrity and character. Kudos to them.

Funniest post ever - Kudos to 91 for being the only organization with integrity and character. This team you’re raving about left a tournament after losing a game on Saturday and PACK’d up with two games left to play against out-of-town teams. Integrity and character? Their 2 most promoted players: 1, a Coach’s son, 2022, turned 16 July before his Sophomore year, and the other, the #1 recruit in the country is fast approaching middle age - no one ever says how old he is. Let’s relax with the standing Tall with Integrity and Character talk - just work on getting your kid better.

Okay, if you’ll be laughed at and fixing the system is futile, then please let’s all shut up.
