which is why so many 25's made the team.

Haha - you mean the YJ 25s on JS team who can BEAT the YJ 24s??? Then again, O'Sullivan almost beat the "top" YJ 24 team. So, yeah. Good point.

25s can beat the Wiener 24s?? When did they? The O’Sullivan thing was a joke. We’re you there? People weren’t even playing there positions . But, then they did and won. “Real” game… wouldn’t even be close. That’s too funny

No Chance. We did not start any attack in the C team game. 2024 is a great team. Set up a game verse 25's.

plus it was a 22 minute joke game. 2024's went on to win the tournament that day at Lax For the Cure!

Woman’s lacrosse is an athletic sport. Some of the ‘25 YJ girls have trolls for parents and this is starting to show and will just get worse. Will be fun to see these parents go ballistic when little Sally gets out played by the faster better athletes.

You obviously have no clue.
The top players in the 23 class are all on UA.
and obviously the top players from 22.
AS made 2 watered down teams for AS.

Starting midfield for YJ on AS??? you sure top YJ girls are on AS??? they were at UA today

Yup, went on to beat a strong steps team who beat sky walkers! Then YJ won the whole thing. O’Sullivan game was not taken serious until it had to be

*AS will be just as good as UA, possibly better for '23s because this is their recruiting year and coaches can watch more of them competing on the same field at the same time.

* If you are a top '23, doing either one was totally unnecessary as coaches have already established their tier for recruiting purposes.

* It may help some good players who had not so great summers, while it could possibly hut those who are already labeled top tier recruits who don't perform well at either UA or AS

* AS is not watered down. The best girls are on the Black team, The Red team is the B team.

* There are several top tier '23 recruits on both UA and AS

* Looks like AS will have better all-around competition, but both events will be competitive and fun

* Good luck to all the girls on both!

I'm just so sick of all of this back and forth that I have no interest in either at this point. It all greedy. Good luck to the girls with the phone calls at Sept 1 because there will be very few because of all of the portals.

Northport girl only scored in County championship when she was left wide open when the second slide didn’t happen. Not once did she dodge past a defender. How can you compare that to the BBP player being face guarded. This is where stats don’t tell the whole story. Both players are tremendous players but the Senior was far more deserving of the award as she affected the game in far more areas than scoring.

All the girls on the AS Black team are all studs. They play these games for fun. They will all have more offers on 9/1 than they need. They are the best of the best!

Northport girl was also cut from UA, neither girl was really all that great. Lots of '23s better

That cut was a joke!!! It was a direct jab at CR with that cut. It’s a darn shame they use a young lady in this game they are playing. Pathetic

OK, 23 parent

I fixed it for you

Google Dave Kotowski and you'll see exactly what you're dealing with.

The young lady is not as good as advertised and other girls had better tryouts. Yes if CR was in charge she would have been pushed through, which is exactly what everyone had been fighting against. With that said, politics are again an issue as several Jesters and Elevate girls made through without doing anything either 🤷‍♀️

Lol, SOME of the good ‘23s are on UA, definitely not ALL! In fact SOME of the best girls didn’t try out and OTHERS are on AS. Same story for the ‘22s . Just because you put it in red doesn’t make it true. Calm down joke parent!

UA selection definitely took jabs, became more about the evaluators than the participants and that's a shame

Can’t blame Elevate coach for taking his girls especially after what Thorn and Jesters Dad coach did last year. What goes around comes around.

He's a joke and he's showing what a joke his club is

Adults Playing games at all the players expense. Just be fair and balanced. Girls have worked hard for many years and deserve fairness from ALL the adults in leadership roles in this sport no matter what team they are on

They should post the roster before you accept your spot. While a great honor to make the team, you take your spot and then get to see who you’re playing with and realize this is not the strongest team. How do girls that lost to YJ Janelli make a team over girls committed to top 20 D1 schools.

Exactly! YJs got a taste of their own medicine. I don’t even think many TG girls tried out after what happened to them last year, they were smart! To make the team, you either had to be lights out at the tryout, or play for Jesters/Elevate. The girls who made it from other clubs did so because they were that good, and will carry the team. Seems their are a few sour YJs who are acting like spoiled brats because they didn’t receive the political favoritism they’re used to!

I love the entitlement on here from parents salty that their All-American D1 committed daughter didn’t make UA despite having a meh tryout. Jealousy is a bad look. Teach your daughter to be humble. She knows she didn’t deserve to make the team, leave it alone

Only 3 jester girls on highlight team

Comical, teach the adults involved to be adults. Totally BS they are playing games with young girls to get back at each other. SAD

Yes, you can blame him for not being fair and honest when it comes to this. His whole mantra is “to elevate” girls in the game of lacrosse and life. It starts with honesty and fairness

Where was the fair and honest system last year? Two club Directors took 20 girls combined from their clubs. No Elevate girls were selected. 3 girls outside those two clubs were selected. Did that seem like a fair tryout?

He was fair, he took the girls who stood out at the tryout. If they were even he took his own. Nothing wrong with that. It’s the way it’s always been. Stop crying and tell your daughter to work harder!

This cracks me up every year. People complain about politics but fomo keeps you coming back. The college coaches know these things are run on politics that's why they don't care if you made one of these teams or not.

This has nothing to do with anyone’s daughters. The point being made is about the adults who are running these things and about being honest and fair! Do you seriously believe all this was done in a fair and unbiased way!? It’s the events/UA fault for having the local directors / coach’s as the sole evaluators. If they are going to do that, they need to make sure all the area clubs all have representation during evaluations. Then, they need to behave like adults, work together and look out for the best interest of all the girls. They can present arguments for their teams girls. A one day tryout is a joke too. Can’t evaluate all those players in a few hours. Kind of why you need to know a little of the girls other lacrosse accomplishments. What used to be a prestigious event, probably isn’t any longer? I think college coach’s do not care about If you were on a UA team anymore? They all know the politics involved

They ought to do this combine-style. Only the top 25 in each catagory can get drafted/tryout for the teams. Its getting ridiculous.

She has a long way to go to start comparing her to the BBP player. Really reaching for the stars trying to compare to the most decorated kid on LI and now the National HS player of the year. It would be better to look at her own age group to compare apples to apples and the UA miss does not help even that argument in her own graduating year.

We are not discussing last year, we are discussing this year. So in your theory doing wrong by kids this year makes all right in the world because of the past. B.S. Enjoy your weekend at UA

My daughter was selected and she does not play for any of the coaches/clubs affiliated with UA. The coaches have only seen her play against them and at UA tryouts. We don't know them. We've never spoken to them. Maybe the coaches go with the kids they know will produce? Nah, can't be anything like that.

That is impossible, I have read on this site many times that the selections are a joke and you have to be in the friends and family network. The tell me that only AS is a legitimate tryout and that club affiliation and connections do not matter at AS. AS is the only fair process.

AS so legitimate that they made 2 teams??? please stop justifying AS as an elite team. There are girls on YJ’s C team that made AS.
the best 22 and 23 and 25 are on UA. 24’s did AS, that’s it.
