Cyclones definitely best team at 2030 in the country. Sure SweetLax Navy beat them at NLF but that’s a national team.

Big question is can anyone beat Cyclones FOGO? Teams that win some faceoffs seem to do ok vs them.

Who is attending Columbus Day invitational???

They have had few close games
Lost to legacy
Close with express

Lots of passion around 11-year-old lacrosse

The Rebels lost even more of their “top” players this year after the mass exodus last season. The team was decimated and left with barely a skeleton crew. They suffered an abysmal season and hardly won any games even made changes to the head coach who now coaches the 2031s. I heard they won one B-team tourney, that their B-team couldn't join because they are a remedial team. For the 2030s, this once up and coming franchise is nothing more than a shell of its former self for this age group. With no signs that they can retain or attract any valuable players, it's hard to see how they can possibly bounce back this fall or anytime soon due to these crushing departures. After the disaster of this past season, their future prospects are bleaker than ever. But maybe they will get those 4th/5th middies and attack that are getting 5 minutes of playtime elsewhere.

Interesting to hear about rebels, considering they claimed to be best team around at this age group; what programs did their kids move to?

Rebels do well at the younger ages and then they dismantle as the best players leave for 91/Legacy/Express. We have seen this with 28-30 teams and it will repeat for 31-33 teams.

Dude unwind you tight AbScS

The cyclones are not a lock as being the best in the country. The Cyclones finished very poorly for them at the end of the tournament season with a couple of loses and almost loses. That Navy SweetLax team was good but not amazing. I think that on Long Island, either Legacy or Igloo can beat them on any given day.

Sweetlax Navy practiced 2 times together all year. Won Naptown and NLF in the same year. The more they play together the better they will get.

Igloo stinks. Really bad coaching. Legacy will fall apart as parents are a huge problem. Bad culture. Sweetlax navy has 3-4 kids who are ineligible based on new age verification. They will not be the same all star team. Cyclones best all around eligible team top to bottom. BLC only team who can give them a game.

Bethesda LC is now Next Level

Guess the Igloo hater and Cyclone lover didn’t get the memo that BLC 2030 are all over at Next Level now!
