You should forget Jake Reed, overrated. Maverick Showtime had much more press and D1 representation this past summer. My son did both and Showtime was superior. They also gave the boys a really nice package of equiptment. You also need an invite

The 2018 has close to 200 and the 2017 was some were around 150. After you count in the late arrivals. Lot of talent in the top 40 kids or so. Looks like a lot of the same kids from Terps and Treps Black. Dropped off after that.

2018 had about 100...not 200. 2017 had about 125. I agree about the top 40...scary good....

As an Outlaw parent, I can tell you the new relationship between the "Huntington crew" and new Gladiator parents has been nothing but fantastic.

Don't you guys get tired arguing whose 14 year old boy is better? I've never seen such chest bumping/name calling over a kid's sport.

How many kids have left the Turtles since the summer? The two Cold Spring Harbor kids are no longer on the Turtles website, how many others have left? Are they recruting new kids?

Anyone know how good Team Long Island 2017 Team is? They seem to be in all the A tournaments.

Team Long Island does not do grade based teams. They do age. Depending on the tournament a 2017 team could be playing their u14 or u15 team next year and yes the top teams will be in the A division. Each team (u14/u15) won a few tournaments last year.

To give an idea the u15 (u14 past year) team lost to 91 orange 6-3 in phili. The u14 (u13 last year) beat 2017 3village at stony brook and 91 navy, beat the jesters at phili. They lost to true blue 7-5 at maverick.

There best player by far was the attackman from CSH. He started varsity as a 8th grader & played well. What team did he go to.

Yes he was, big loss for them, many others riding on him!

I believe the question was about U17, so stop trying to get your jabs in about other teams, (typical wannabe), Team LI U17 is a top team. They won Philly invitational showcase, Dicks elite division 2012, and Stowe. They have players from freshman to Jr. They have several D1 committed players. Great team, half the price of of the others. Facts only

How did they do in the tournaments he didn't play in last summer?

I am actually a little suprised to hear that as the Terps Black/Terps 2017s are no doubt talentted but did not have the greatest summer last year. The team was not in the conversation for one of the top 4-5 club nationally. Are they getting better kids for this fall/summer. Again, no question they are very talented, but so will 91, Turtles, etc.

So after two tryout dates, you have a fantastic realtionship with other parents? That's great but I believe the poster was referring to the playing time issue that will arise once games/tournaments start and some of those "favors" that are on the team from Huntington don't see much playing time. The Gladiators spanked the Outlaws last year.....and those Gladiators who were at the tryouts were heads and shoulders above the attack/middie postions occupied by Huntington boys last season.

The Terps had a great tournament at Lake Placid. Played very strong teams from an older division, went 4-1. They beat the Dukes several times ,Won the U maryland tournament and won the Indoor Nationals and beat everyone they played in the fall easily. No one put a whipping on them. The Crab Feast was played in 100 degree heat in games with 8 minute quarters so whoever got ahead won . So those losses dont count for much , as a matter of fact all the other so called great teams lost in that tournament as well. The problem on the express was not the kids on the team, it was the silly structure the team had which never allowed the kids to jell as a team.

There are three kids on the Express Black that have equivalent talent and are being recruited by the Turtles right now.

We'll see, doubt they can replace who left. I'm more interested in why he left, I'm sure it's a good one!

both of the turtle kids at 91. watched them at tryout and they were both skilled and smart. tough to replace that talent. great pickup for JM.

Why did the turtles leave?

nope,easy to figure out the parents positioning little johnny were standing on the sidelines as coaches.

Exactly - and the Turtle offense had to run through little Johnny while daddy coached.

Can't be playing time, those kids played a ton and they have a small roster which hurt them when it counted. Happens every year, parents looking to position little johnny so he is the man

Yes, but CHS attack already was the man. Maybe he was preventing others from looking good because he stole the spotlight? Tough to figure out? Turtles won't be the same without him
