This is how you know a team is good. Everyone talks about them.

Math not your strong suit huh?[/quote]

I’ve seen 7 on the sideline, total friends and family plan.[/quote]

There are 5 coaches. Never 7 on the sideline get a life

It’s just jealousy and jealousy looks good on nobody. Stop hating and start enjoying watching your son playing

This reminds me of my favorite uncle’s marlin he caught in the Caribbean, the marlin in now 27 feet long. I would suggest 6 or 7 less white claws per tourney.

Lot of coaches on 91 looking out for their kids best interest, natural. Most of said kids are pretty darn good. There is plenty of depth, that team is really deep. Anyone who went over, including goalie, I'm sure knew what they were joining.

That same 5th place team beat Madlax.

This debate is silly. Their are only 2 legit AA teams on LI:

Venom and Legacy Lumberjax.

Everyone else falls into the A and B divisions.

Didn’t Express just beat Legacy??

Express lost to Venom in Final. Totally out played them. Refs were bad. One time 91 caught with 5 poles on field and ref says take one out. That's a penalty.
The Referees have been declining for long time, and 91(my lacrosse tourneys have same ones, and they are one hundred percent Homers)
91 Express Then Legacy a VERY distant 3rd

USA hockey beat Russia in 1980 does that mean Russia isn't considered one of the best teams anymore. Stop, you sound like an stunad.

Legacy owners needs to stop posting how good they are

Actually the truth is that 91 had a fast break cancelled by a ref inadvertently blowing his whistle and 91 coaches were penalized for yelling about it. Express outplayed them in 1st half and 91 turned it on in 2nd.

You’re delusional. Only AA teams on LI are venom and rebels!!!!

Yes this year and last year. Legacy not in same class as Venom. Sorry.

Express had more man up opportunities. The game itself was intense, the 50/50 ground ball scrums were aggressive. Credit should be given to both teams, express for how they bounced back after game one and venom for how they fought back in the second half of game two. We should all hope to see more games like that.

Agreed.

Express is vastly improved from the Spring. It is unclear at this point if the same can be said for Legacy. Picture will be clearer in Spring/summer. All three mentioned (91, Express legacy) are pretty good teams and each with some exceptional players. Depth is probably the differentiator. Ranking is splitting hairs anyway and doesn't really matter...

Anyone see the us club lax rankings for 2028 that came out today? ummm

Winner winner chicken dinner. The arguments over 6th grade youth lacrosse rankings is pretty silly. Three really good teams with some great players. Every other team is behind them developmentally. But it really doesn’t matter as long as the kids on the other teams are working hard, learning, and having fun. Leave it at that. And remember, a decent amount of the kids know about this site at this point. Having them come here and read some of these comments is not ideal. Please think about that before you post.

Lol at these rankings!! Surge, express b and igloo b ranked higher than Venom!

Venom stinks haven’t u read any posts today?? Express and legacy are neck and neck with them. Rebels gonna crush them.

They are a joke except for Hawks. They should be much lower.

You have to play 6 games min this fall to be on the list.
There are a few teams not on the list cause of that reason.

You need to chill with the us club lax rankings. As teams play games in the spring/summer stuff will even out. Looking this early Is like looking at league leaders in baseball after a game or two. Guys batting 1.000, 0.500, or 0.00 and people panicking.

It seems many of the games already played last week and even earlier in the season have not been entered. Select a team and you can view the schedule and scores.

You have to select alphabetical to see the teams not yet ranked

Those turtles are unstoppable today. Great wins, competitive games. What more could you ask for

Who did they play?

Are you sure express has improved that much? Just seems they only beat teams with losing records at every tournament.

Ha! I see what you’re doing here.

That’s hysterical

Surprises at NAL in Delaware

Legacy having tough time at NAL

Looks like Express North Black ran through the NAL tournament?

See rankings below from the Mid-Atlantic 2028 Forum. Express North beat MadLax 13-3 in finals of NAL. I saw Express North earlier in the day . . . very physical team with some impressive poles.


Here’s the final fall Bored MD rankings. I think these are more accurate than the US club rankings, but it’s hard to assess fall ball because so many kids are missing and teams aren’t practicing as much. So I place more weight on the summer results than fall, which is why a couple teams that had some very nice results at the end of the fall aren’t higher. There’s a lot more parity between the northern hotbed teams and the Maryland teams now. We still haven’t seen a team from the West breakthrough other than the Mad Dog West and WCS all star teams.

1. Annapolis Hawks (1)
T-2. Madlax (2). I know about the ten goal loss to Express North. But there are a lot of other wins over the summer and fall to balance that out. Impossible to compare with Venom given the lack of a head to head, the fact Venom hasn’t played much, and the lack of many compelling games overall this fall among all teams.
T-2. Team 91 Venom (4). Needs to play more but excellent results.
4. 3D New England (3). Played the toughest fall schedule and racked up a ton of wins against top 15 teams.
5. Express North (7). What a run at NAL! Huge wins against Madlax and BBL. If can play at that level in the summer, they will challenge for the very top spots.
6. BBL (5). Play a very strong schedule. Probably top overall strength of a schedule for summer and fall. Only criticism is they struggle a little against the top 5, but very solid team.
7. 2way (6). Huge unknown given the lack of games against MD teams. This is a guess. Hopefully we will see them in the summer.
8. FCA (8). Results might not match the talent level yet. But very good team.
9. WCS (unranked). They’ve only played one tournament and the results are win over True, tie with Team 91 Ga, and two goal loss to Madlax among top competition. Hard to know where that puts them. But obviously likely to have tons of athletes when they come east this summer.
10. Next Level (10).
11. Freedom (11). Very similar to Next Level in terms of results. Next Level has had the better of the head to heads.
12. Mad Dog West (12)
13. Long Island Express (9). Really hard to pin this team down. Keep expecting them to post better results outside Long Island.
14. Crabs (13). Need to play more and better competition, but there are signs they might move up the rankings in the spring and summer.
15. Legacy (15)
16. Laxachusetts (unranked)
17. True Annapolis (unranked)
18. Thunder (upstate NY) (unranked)
19. Team 91 GA (unranked)
20. Alpha Elite Colorado (unranked). Colorado looks to still not have consolidated. Alpha seems to have the best results.

National teams - Nationals, True National, Mad Dog National also very good.

That’s the Hawks B team that is ranked. The Green team isn’t even on the rankings!! and they’re prob the best team in the country. Don’t claim to be the expert in rankings… and then completely boof the first ever results.

Bethesda at #2 is prob the 7-8th best team in Maryland. Hilarious

What's everyone's thoughts on the Fall Classic at Stony Brook this Saturday?

It depends if 91 Surge will have Venom kids playing with them.
