So you are saying I have a chance?

We’ll see how they do vs Legacy

looking forward to another good game between legacy and moose on columbus day

What is this weekend? Who is in?

The schedule is on tourney machine in New Jersey

NAL in DE Nov 14th Legacy does every year. Any other Long Island teams going?

It will be a great opportunity for Express to show they made some real upgrades as mentioned earlier in this forum. "great players for igloo" "express team turned heads this summer"

Legacy is a quality team and everyone knows that, so I guess we will have to wait until Saturday to find out.

91 venom is going to that DE tournament hope they meet up with legacy

Legacy is the most overrated team in the age group.

All of these teams are overrated. Any given day anyone can be beat.

Yup

which team is the A express chucks or express orielly

Igloo has legacy’s number they beat them this summer too

Chucks

So it was the express B team that beat 91 venom over the summer and express A team that just tied legacy. Which express team tied rebels?

When my sons team played Express this summer I’m hoping for the parents sake that it was both teams, as they had nearly 40 kids on their sideline. So chances are all the games in questions were whoever was available for express

Yes Express B. They are going to WYSL a few yrs early also

Not sure why 91 Surge is playing in the Columbus day tournament. I guess they'll be the sacrificial lamb.

There are 5-6 top LI teams at the 28 age. They have all beaten or lost to another team in this same group. There is no Top team. 91, Igloo, legacy, moose, Express, rush. Each of these teams has beaten or lost to another one of these teams in the grouping. Even 2way, if they are LI and Turtles/Rebels have an argument for inclusion based on the transitive property.

I am happy with the coaching and the positive energy we have on Surge. We have maybe 2-3 kids that would make a true A team, but beyond that its a group of kids that like lacrosse and want to get better and that is provided. Lost by 10 goals to Moose last week, but we were playing and getting better. All good hear now. No 91 poison and not delusional as to what we are. Enjoy your rankings...

a true feel good story... now, back to the regularly scheduled programming

How do you know who is in the tournament already? Won’t come up on Tourny Machine yet. Is there another site or app?

Look at websites of host operator etc

Columbus day tournament looks good. Legacy,mooselax,turtles,rebels,bbl,and surge.

Who is doing blatant fall jam oct 17

91 has to get the Surge out of there and put in the venom

That would make the most sense

Surge is about to make some headlines...

"Surge is about to make some headlines..."

Please stop... Let your play in tournaments be your headlines. There are headlines most eveyday in the papers and none of them matter. Good coaching to develop players is all that matters IF you have even have the athletes to begin with. Picking up another teams cast offs is not a headline. In case I've interpreted incorrectly, I hope the Surge headlines are not related to any illegal, non-lacrosse related headlines because that does not belong here and I cannot imagine there could be any lax related headline remotely material.

That’s great but isn’t this a lacrosse site and a 2028 thread? Pretty sure that the intended topics aren’t pressing global matters. Step off your high horse you come here too

High horse? A Pre-announcment for "headlines" regarding a transitional lower tier team? Spare us the fluffing of the pre-headline at least. Winning a game if you want to post that is a headline. go for it. Be proud. Good luck. I hope whatever it is helps your team and keeps everyone involved happy and positive. Sorry. Carry on.

Surge has no business playing in that tournament, they’re going to get destroyed. If I was a parent on that team, I’d be upset. It could hurt the kids morale. How does losing by 10 goals be beneficial? Choose another tournament 91. Stick to the mylacrosse ones

As a paying parent on one of the teams that’s playing, I would rather face the Venom than the surge. I’d rather our team play the better of the two.

How would losing by 10 goals to Venom benefit you?

Now now be nice to the Surgeons! They are new(ish) and any given Sunday miracles can happen. If some venom players fill in they will be stronger but will rightfully lax off some surgeon parents/players/opponents. Think there will be more than one “b” team (Devildogs...) so they will all get better. We all know who’s who in the zoo at least the surgeons raise the tailgating game! ;p

Sturgeons are Havoc w some new coaches. Mid level B team at best. What makes them better than last year?

The coaches have to know that they won't be competitive games. what team playing in this tournament is going to lose by 10 goals to venom? the answer is no one.

Do you realize that you are bashing a team of ten year olds. Were you picked on that much in elementary school and high school that you now have to reciprocate that towards 5th graders. Maybe you never even made a team or just that unhappy with your life that you have to pawn your frustration's out through a forum towards little kids. Surge has a bunch of kids that want to learn the great game of lacrosse. They just want to play and have fun. This doesn't give you the right, "the almighty anonymous" postee to pick on them. Keep living through your kid because that will get you far in life.

no one is bashing 10 year olds. someone is simply stating that they are a mid level b team playing in a tournament against a teams. that's all

We won’t know until they play. Good luck to all of the teams!
