BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Boys 2028 - 7th Grade Summer 2023

Love when our high school team come up there and wear out your boys. See: St John’s. I think it was 16-5?

Wow such an inferiority complex. And yes, that’s exactly what it is, you have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about. And I’d be willing to bet those 4-5 holdback kids on Venom are older than ours.

Super important to be on the best team. Everyone knows the first question every college coach asks is what your travel lacrosse winning % is.

What team are you???
Wondering because you admitted that 21% of your team is older than the Long Island teams. Doubtful you consistently pound anyone either.

Clearing the air on the situation. Express did not take a hit. They lost one decent player at best and a faceoff kid that had fallen off because of his size. Also going to Lawrenceville which makes 2way easier. Express has done nothing but improved, not lost. Lost bench players at most and gained a way better defense and some offensive firepower from legacy

Clearing the air here. Express coach had the right to be arrogant after one of the players took an express players knee out as retaliation for the instinctual goalie hits.

Heard 91 Machine goalie reclassing to venom. Possibly the reason Venom goalie left for Express? On a side note Express did not lose anybody worth while. The face off guy was undersized and small and started struggling during the summer. 2 offensive players that did not have an impact on game. So express stays solid while improving defense with rebels kids and legacy defenders. Also a much needed righty attackmen add. 91 gained 2 mediocre players as mentioned before from express and a decent defender from express that was replaced by rebels kids. Bench was cleared out to lower end clubs like S2S and Surge and others. Reminder the 45 man roster seems to be a practice roster so tournaments are looking like more of a 22 man roster for express. Overall 91 and Express stay the same while the lower end clubs get bench players

Regarding the 7v7 memorial games…first of all this was not “Express”…the team was called “Project 7” and it was 10 friends coming together to have fun and raise money for Ryan’s Team…not all of the kids even play for Express. I was there and the classless team was not the express kids-it was Riverhead. They started a fight with rocky point and express. Rocky point wasn’t exactly innocent either-one of their kids took out an project 7 kid at the knees and the shady coach shook the hand of the player who slashed a 12 year old at the knees as he walked off. I think next year they should just stick with town teams or pick up teams (project 7) and don’t wear travel uniforms and also don’t have a “prize” for the goalie with the most goals. The project 7 goalie was 100% out of line and dangerous with the 2 hits he took and the back and forth of goalies taking the ball and shooting so they could win a sweatshirt, just made the games boring and nonsense. I think all teams that showed up should be commended for donating to a great family and a great cause.

I heard yesterday that Express grabbed one of the Rush defenders as well

Guess 91 saw something in those 3 Express starters.

Firepower good one smh

Exactly!! That has to be a nervous chucks parent spewing that nonsense about their sons former teammates. Class act.

You win!

They take everyone, 46 man roster now.
Now kids can sit sidelines during practice as well!

Didn’t St A beat St John’s this past season ?

No one cares.

So what does express do with the other 23 kids? Make a AA and a A team or do they seriously have 2 teams worth on the sideline with 15 kids playing?

Are there any teams that are still looking for players?

Express needs a few more

Shore2Shore has a supplemental tryout today. Everyone else you would have to contact for an individual tryout.

Teams are always looking for players

SHORE IS TRYING TO HAVE 2 TEAMS, BE WEARY WHICH TEAM YOU'RE TRYING OUT FOR

Teams are always looking for more money

Igloo or Surge might be a good landing spot for kids looking for teams. I heard igloo has 26 and Surge has 23 on their rosters. Rebels need help but I would avoid that mess.

Every team is trying to fill out their second team. No one is expecting to find a AA player in August that’s uncommitted.

Why or how is it a mess

Good take

Why or how is it a mess[/quote
Kids/Parents were looking to jump ship. Most of their talent left for different teams

Sounds like your kid got cut

Definitely

The talent went to venom and chucks can’t blame them for that

She also very Toxic.

SM- toxic “nightmare Rebels Mom” is at it again! Keep spewing false stuff about my family- it looks ugly on you!

And this is why people stay away from the Rebels and Legacy

Weren’t they talking about a chucks parent?

Who’s family? I’m lost lol

Seems like turtle parents are back at it! Ha

What’s the first action of the fall?
Columbus Day Invitational
Sweet 16
Tristar

Anyone know yet where they’re playing?

If you want to call people out then please do so privately. Posting initials of someone that the rest of us have no clue who they are is spineless. Take a long look in the mirror if you attack someone on here using initials and have never had the backbone to even have a conversation w this person. I doubt this person is actually the one who has an issue w this "mom'. It is most likely a friend or another parent stirring the pot.

Why didn’t you write your name. Oh your just as spineless.

Also stop posting about specific kids. Describing them by team, position and physically then everyone knows exactly who you are talking about. It shows a lack of class to describe kids as mediocre, bench players, small, etc. Even pointing out what school they are going to. I’ve been lucky to meet many of these young men and they are amazing athletes for their age. They all work hard and are good people. Disgusting how some of them are described by parents on this board. It is hard enough to grow up with the scrutiny of social media videos and forums on youth sports. Consider yourself lucky you didn’t grow up with this scrutiny at a young age and give these kids a break.
