BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Boys 2028-8th Grade Fall 2023/Summer 2024

Nah the 28 team is a good team. Right up there as 3rd-5th best team in the island, depending on the day. Not bad considering there are probably close to 20 teams in the 28 age group locally.

S2S Daddy pipe dreams: “Don’t worry Son, I’m telling you, you’re on the 3-5th best team on LI.”

Meanwhile the best 3-5 LI teams are not even in the top 50 in Nation.

Who won town tournament?

The 27 team is solid. The 2028 s2s team has a few kids that should play but should probably move on to Express or Venom.

Not form the island but the only time I have seen S2S was at a tourney in ct last year and Express North was up 13-0 on them. Express North is a good team but not a great team.

S2S is not good.

Garden City won the big boys 7/8 bracket.

You people are so pathetic and so uneducated about the lacrosse world it makes me cringe.

They are fine. There are literally 15 other teams on Long Island that are not as good as them. And chances are pretty high that the parents and players on that team are just fine with where they stand on the island and across the nation. Worry about your own kids and stop trying to define “good.”

And of course the best 3-5 teams are barely cracking the top 50. Long Island is watered down, young, and have no fly ins at this age. Go to the 2028 Maryland board and read about the kids who fly in every single weekend from other states to compete in the HOCO league. Or hear them debate whether the hawks or the crabs have more holdbacks. Or maybe have your kids fill you in on the “incoming” freshman class at Brunswick. Then come back on here and explain how more than 1-2 teams locally could possibly compete with the top 50 at this age. 100% impossible. It’s beyond laughable that you people can’t comprehend these things.

2 Brackets

GC 8th graders took down TV 7/8.
Smithtown 7/8 took down GC 7th graders.

At least GC played a team in both and props to TV for playing in better bracket.

Smithtown dominated all day. This age group has not lost all year.

Come on guy.... The fact that they played an all 7th grade team tells you all you need to know. I was proud of how our guys fought and played all day.

Yeh but they lost so….

Lost to kids a year older yes. Keep ponding your chest about playing in the weaker bracket w kids in 8th grade. Thats embarrassing.

its town ball, it means zero, and enjoy the participation medal. can we also be clear, Smithtown is not good, and GC7 lost to a 5/6 grade team at SB two weeks prior. so again, who cares, they all @ChillLaxin, so just enjoy bad lax.

Ponding?

Only 3 8th graders on Smithtown

Spot on, except Express chucks fly kids in. Fact.
CoachC is cutthroat.

Orange didn’t do so hot without Chuck’s players helping them this weekend

express chucks is on a different level but all the other teams that played this weekend looked to be pretty competitive

Would think BTB was missing players. Surprised by their scores

Alot of horses hitched to that Chucks wagon. There were at least 20 on the sideline. Some kids only play 1 shift , if that. Then you get the - ‘my son was asked to help out with the Orange team’ excuse.

Express Orange needed more Chucks players. Chucks cruised all day. Surge had help from some Venom players. BTB had their usual crew but struggled. 860 was almost all 2Way players. 91 Tristar solid showing. Rebels Black 0-3 despite a couple of close games.

Surge had 1 venom player and also was missing a few due to high school commitments

Chucks parents posting scores on FB like they accomplished something. Anytime you win by 10 or more, you are in the wrong tourney. Maybe challenge all your players instead of having kids that dont get in watch a select few dominate.

Incorrect

what's incorrect?

Anyone that was there knows that Surge had 1 venom kid there. They borrowed the fogo for the day

HS commitments. lol. Must be Maryland transplants or something.

100% correct

2 guys, I could name them too but won’t.

no you can't because there was only 1. If you think there was 2, please give initials. it was only CR.

Borrowing a AA fogo is huge.

fool the amount of kids on Team 91 Orange Storm from Florida and New Jersey!!! What happened couldn't develop within your own state? LOL ........

Parents want the best for their kids. 2way has a player from Pennsylvania. Should they turn him away?

Cheaters!

Legacy and express older teams are filled with out of state players.

Any sign of legacy or Rush or Venom? I guess they're waiting til June for the first spring/summer tournament

At this point think all are waiting for June. NLF kicks it off
