Surge went 1-0 last season vs S2S
They did a scrimmage in the fall with one ref and the time was not even accurate. S2S did win that one. But it was a pick up game. Surge also added 5 players from venom. I think surge is above S2S

Sounds crowded

Did Rush kids leave To play for GSB or are they playing for both teams?

The 2 kids not playing for smithtown are probably the 2 Rebels kids

2028 Smithtown parents are just toxic! They all think little Johnny is going to the PLL!

You hit it on the head. 2028 Smithtown is very good. Prior turtle coach and some crazy parents had hand in breaking all up.

Now turtles above Rebels is just funny. Got smoked every time they play last year. Turtles unfortunately will be extinct soon. Rebels added 8 teams. Turtles lost teams. I would stay off the road today because the Rebel bus is coming. Get on or get run over.

Don’t we all

NJ.

Rebel 2028 team better find more wins this season or they will implode as well. They lost the 2nd best goalie at this age level. That’s a huge loss and doubtful they gained much.

Go back to 91 that statement is not true.

That’s funny b/c the best goalie at this age probably isn’t even playing goalie yet. These kids are 11 (some 12, since holdbacks do exist on LI) and the people claiming their kid is the best at anything at this age really need to take a long hard look in the mirror. Their kid is most likely a bench rider fill-in on a top team that carries way too many kids anyway. Check your roster numbers and make sure your video is ready for those precious 3 minutes your son gets on the field next summer.

Wasn’t this the crew that was always bragging about how they never lost a youth game? I thought they were going to be the first town team to win the World Series? 3 years later and now its over - elitist parents that couldn’t check their egos for the sake of their children, the only ones impacted by any of this.

So…..you’re saying they did not go 1-1. You’re saying they won one game and lost another, but the one they lost didn’t count because it was a pick up game with a ref???what??? Ok……

You’re nitpicking over who should be ranked one spot ahead. S2s picked up moose kids, thurge picked up venom kids….probably about the same then. Let the boys play and see how things wind up

I think we all need to take a vow to stop discussing the rebels.

Rebels are discussed because they are relevant. From the number of teams looks like they added 150 this year. A good number of programs went the opposite way. It must be because they are doing something right.

No, the 2028 rebels are discussed because they are so cocky for a team that has done a lot of nothing

Best 2 goalies presently. Better? Smh get off your soap box

Definitely not the 2 best. Have you been off LI at all? Play some Maryland and Philly teams before you start chirping about who is best at what. How are you even judging who is best? Scores? Record? If the ball never crosses midfield, does that make a great goalie? Both kids are good players on a great team, lets not proclaim they are the best in the country - you sound like a 91 groupie.

Your right adding 125 plus kids while others are in verge of collapse is not good. You measure a club on just wins. Rebels have got and will keep get wins. More importantly they run the best all around club. Your jealous that s your problem. What other reason to bash them.

My child is not on the rebels but they have good program can't judge someone because you don't like there parents. If that was the case I wouldn't play with a lot of teams because parents in Lacrosse are the worse talk about kids like it's nothing. You people need to grow up and just let the kids play.

Rebels continue to get better each year. You all talk about them but they just improve year in and year out.

ok
1) rebels
2 )venom
3) s2s
4) legacy
5) express

I tired not to comment but every time I try to get out they stink me back in. Here is the deal w the 2028 rebels. Good coach, a few nice players with some decent results. The problem is the inferiority complex from their parents. They belittle the turtles, take shots at 91 and legacy and have zero ability to see their behavior as the a real issue.

91 goalie is the best. Change my mind.

Bingo

Rebels stink man. 2021/22 over 20 college commits each. By far the best all around program on LI. Please let me know of what program in 3 years have been this successful.

It is honestly 91 followed by Rebels and then everyone else is way behind. Rebels will be the top program in a few years.

Rebels has been saying that for 6+ years... You seem to haver forgotten about Express, Legacy and even Igloo... Keep the spirit though if it makes you feel good.

Rebels seem to think beating up on B teams makes them an A team. until they show up and start beating top tier teams at tournaments off long island they will always be a B team.

Rebels have been around for 3 years…

6 plus years for a program that’s starting its 3rd or 4 th year. Get a little confused with covid years. So as an outsider they are doing well. Not the best , but one improving the most this year. How’s that, think that’s more accurate.

Umm I’m sorry, but they’ve gotten worse each year. First year they came out swinging. The team was very good. Mostly made up of a now defunct Smithtown team. Second year half that team went to the turtles. Turtles were not good at all and rebels were ok. Beat B teams and lower lever A’s. Nothing impressive other than the parents rhetoric. At every tourney, “ OMG this program is the best, the coaches are excellent, we are amazing” yada yada yada. Then come tryout season those same people. Including the very vocal and rebels cheerleader goalie mom jump ship. Now this year they’re limping into a lax season missing their best key players. All of the semi decent kids that would’ve played on the B team also jumped ship. So please, just be humble. Stop saying this nonsense and then maybe and hopefully the board will stop talking about your mediocre program.

Next Level (MD/DC) parent here. NL 2028s play this weekend in Atlantic Elite tourney in Tinton Falls, NJ. First tourney of Fall for the boys. Welcome this board's thoughts on the 2028 squads for Legacy and NJ Express. We assume very good competition from both. General thoughts on the clubs, who throws best tailgates, etc., also welcome. (NL28s also play Mad Dog West Elite and 3D New England.)

Legacy is solid, well coached, tough. Early line NL-1.5
No idea on jersey express

Next Level will take home the ship

Why is Next Level going to NJ in the fall fir a Sat/Sun tournament? Don’t their kids play other in season sports? So many options local on Sundays in October against better competition

Easy with the better competition comments. With that being said, I agree so dense to be playing now. Football, soccer, hockey anything but tournament format lacrosse. Parents are suckers for allowing this.

Re: Rebels being around for 3 years not 6. Yes, sorry, just outlaws in different colors, same rhetoric...

Think 2028's are a little better this year. Here is a Example of Goalies In 2016 so called top 4 Goalies
1) Hardly every played in college
2) Again Hardly ever played in college, did transfer for 5th year and played
3) Played and petty sure has another year
4) Ended up with Best career of all.
So please stop saying who the top goalie is at any age, all shakes out in college at all positions
