With well over 45 players between two teams, how do you not have enough??? And why are people out of town on St Paddy’s day???

Come on…

Also, if you are a player on the A team do you feel pressure to have to play in a B tournament, because why would you? There is no upside

Since you know everything why don’t you put your name in the comments.

express left many of their best players at home-they combined some of their "pretty good" black team with most of the orange team. Many kids invited to play weren't available (St. Paddy's Day conflict?) A lot of errors/mistakes by these kids, but to put the black team in would've been unfair. Seems like they did the best they could to keep it competitive. Rebels have some solid kids, was close then Express pulled away. First GSB team really struggled, 2nd GSB team had a nice group of kids, too. Good athletes-but it seemed like Express put a fair team out there and were aware of how lopsided it would've been if they brought their black team. Yes, Express parent, but no, my kid is not on the 28's. my son is 29's, but has friends on 28 so we watched whenever we could when our schedule allowed.

Someone wrote it here…come on catch up

And if you look back over the past 15 pages of this forum you will see that the express parents have talked about their “fluid” team with over 45 kids between AA and A or A and B.

Don’t join the convo late and ask silly questions

Many deserving kids on that list and a handful of questionable, to put it nicely.

A few wouldn’t start on any AA team on Long Island

Every Express parent was like, “They called us because the team needed players”. Reality check - you’re superstar is on the B squad and still barely plays. He looks good in Orange and your LIE Stadium jackets are real sharp though.

Toxicity around this program is amazing to watch from the outside

They all deserve it, they paid the money.

so whats everyone thinking about the laxachusetts 2028 black team from summer 2023

Wrong forum lax black was a 2027 team

Think it was a joke Lxc is notorious for doubles

They all deserve it, they paid the money.

It's best players from the region. Not everyone gets invited and not every deserving kid is able to play. But overall it's top players competing against each other.

Completely incorrect!!! Look at some of the names. Good players but not the upper echelon. You must be a parent of one of them. Living through their good player that they think is an all star. Keep paying the tuition to support my son please.

3D NE has a couple 2008s but is mostly 2009 birth year. two or so 2010 birthdates. Good for them.

If your son team is not playing against the best in the country and competing you don’t deserve to be on the list. A lot of kids on the list are not playing at a high level.

Which makes them a VERY old team. And they aren’t better than the Hawks. Having seen all these teams a bunch, I think Hawks are the clear front runners, with Leading Edge on their heels. 2-Way right there as well.
Red Hots and the other national teams are a joke, they don’t count.

Winner of the most arrogant statement on here in a while. And truth be told, if you’re bragging about free tuition for your kid, he isn’t getting it. Just saying.

8th grade, good for the kids but not a big deal. No scholarships will be given out that day but they certainly will be collecting parents money!

Who is team 91 Fusion?

You are just like all the World Series haters. Sorry your son wasn't selected. The kids who are rank among top players. Just let them play without trying to ruin a fun, competitive youth lacrosse experience.

S2S parent thinking too much

Parents, prepare to hear from your friends…. My son is just helping out the chucks orange team today, the struggle is real

Hard to prove that as they have only joined b brackets
