BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Girls 2023-10th Grade Fall 2020/Summer 2021

At least you refer to them properly....the #1 ranked. The #1 ranked YJ’s.

Some rosters may have changed, but TG has beaten both Igloo and YJ, so until a game proves otherwise, TG is the best 2023 team on LI. It's been a fun rivalry, but at this time, it's more about playing well as a team in front of college coaches. Some really talented girls on all the rosters!

TG
YJ
Legacy/Jesters
The rest

Should we go by your poll or what USA lacrosse and every other colin poll has out there?????

YJ Thorn the unanimous #1 team in the country in all 3 polls
ohhh wait you got them behind TG who is NOT in top in any of them and on average around 6-8
It’s YJ
then everyone else.

Now its Eagle Stix and everyone else.

For anyone interested, here are the current 2023 Club rankings done by the power of schedule algorithm:

https://www.USCL.com/rank?y=2020&alpha=N&v=2023

Lax for the Cure should be interesting. The bracket that has YJ and Steps in it (the club directors teams) have 3 teams advance to the playoffs while the bracket that has M&D, Hero's, TG, Monsters and Grizzlies only have 2 advance.

College coaches continue to shuffle around. Lots of changes.

So, I asked this question 3x now. Has anyone’s daughter received a post season award? If so, is there a list?

The Nassau All county, AC HM and all conf were announced
they also announced the All Americans.
5 Honorable Mention AA in Nassau
9 US HS All Americans in Nassau. 3 from Manhasset, 2 GC and 4 from other conf 1 schools.

Suffolk announced All County but not AA. Wonder why section XI did not hold a virtual awards ceremony. They could of easily did this and it would have been special for the girls. Another example of their lazy incompetency.

Top Gun lost to CT Grizzlies… twice.

Watching the YJ and TG game drew a lot of college coaches who watched the top talent on Long Island compete. They weren’t concerned about the score. They wanted to see the girls compete and great talent on the field. Some girls really shined.

Yes, YJ draw girl won almost every time and was the best player on that team, surprised with all those possessions they didn't do better.. TG had a few girls who controlled the game and could really shoot well.

[quote=Anonymous]I cant believe this tread. My daughter proudly plays on top guns. Playing on the top gun team she has become a way better lax player. She has learned to play unselfishly as a team player. Because of the great coaching and talent of players on her team she is hoping to be recruited and enjoys the game at a higher level. Yes we lost a great player, yes we have many more to step right up. Our team is still solid! . If her team loses to YJ I will be proud and if they win I will be proud. Yes we want to win! There are so many talented players on LI they have to play on different teams to all get playing time. As a community its embarrassing we cant acknowledge Jesters improvement and welcome them as a new contender. Acknowledge Legacy for their rise to the rankings. We should be happy LI can have four strong teams and represent ! If they play a solid game without mistakes be proud they won and they shouldn't have to feel like losers became they lost a game. Most people on here should be embarrassed with their comments and be happy to watch their child play good lax! In my opinion Top Guns hands down best team and best program - my daughter plays for them proudly!

Top guns are hands down the best team.
Apparently, you don’t follow the scores and polls.
YJ hasn’t lost a game since the merger. Not one game.
Beat the old #1 M&D 4 times while TG went 1-2 against them.

What polls are you referring to?

Watching the YJ and TG game drew a lot of college coaches who watched the top talent on Long Island compete. They weren’t concerned about the score. They wanted to see the girls compete and great talent on the field. Some girls really shined.

I can tell you with 100% certainty that college coaches don’t care about the score. They are watching individual players. They are also watching the players parents. So when you’re on the sideline screaming at your kid, please know we see you too and you may be the reason your kid doesn’t get a call. Best bet is BE QUIET and enjoy the game!

Who was screaming? I though the parents were very respectful on my end. I think the point is that the YJ Thorn team has been claiming how great they were for years, they even merged with two other teams to get better. Their best player is a former igloo player. We all know that none of this matter in terms of recruiting, it's just that the YJ '23 group needs to give it a rest and admit they can't compete with TG'23, the he best team on LI in this age group. Was nice to finally see this put to rest this weekend.

Against the SE girl and the TG wings? I find that hard to believe!

I’m not saying you or anyone specific to this particular TG v YJ game was screaming. Generally speaking, if anyone involved in travel lacrosse wants their kid to be recruited I suggest you read my post above. As I read a lot of the immature comments and hear out of control parents on the sidelines I’m reminded of SEVERAL talented players that have been passed on because of their parents actions. You never know who’s watching at these tournaments. Take it or leave it...your choice

And they forget - coaches talk. Especially when it is in regards to crossing players off for reasons like this.

LOL the 23 parents are very sensitive. some have sold their soul for this moment. club lacrosse will be better off once the 23s age out. one of the most toxic groups unfortunately they collectively will prove to be college coaches headaches. just wait and see. hope TG coaches used an Uber after they celebrated. this was a bog moment for them. haven't beaten YJ in a long time and from looking at the younger grades, they may never beat YJ ever again.
