fl$ lost to 3d Select CO 7-3 and CO scored two man up goals very late in the game. Lost to Leading Edge 7-1. Not sure in what world that equates to getting killed. Maybe you meant that the Outlaws got killed since they lost to Leading 3d CO 12-0?

Regardless, lots of college coaches watching their games.

I would agree with you. The fl$ vs 3d CO game felt closer than the score because the fl$ FOGO did an amazing job and the ball was in the 3d defensive end most of the first half for sure. The 3d team is know for its offense, but their defense won that game. It wasn't like fl$ was playing sloppy. The 3d team played a very aggressive, pressing out defense. It was a fun game to watch on both sides.

Yea how good is Be The Best?

I requested a refund also but have not heard back? Any request a refund and see the credit?

I received my refund late last week as did a teammate.

3 emails and know response for me.

Heard Turtles came in 3/4 in pool play today at Philly Showcase.

. Looks like they did well http://showcaselacrosse.com/drawer/philly-freshman-showcase-2013/gamecenter/team/

Orange tie building blocks please.

It was a ties as game was not played..... BBL and Express did not play the game

Not that well, 3D beat them easily

Bbl made express wait around 2 hrs and then
Bbl decided not to play. Classy

Why not?

Game never happened. BBL went home early.

It was Orange's idea not to play

Long Island well represented in the Philly Showcase Allstar final game amongst a truly nation wide participation.

2 turtles (LSM,MIDDY)
4 express (LSM ask middy's)
3 fl$ (A, D, LSM)
2 91 (A,D)

One 91 kid overall MVP (D) and one 91 kid Allstar game MVP (A)

Sub freezing temps all day for team games. Kudos to those who could play in such unfavorable conditions.

That's why they were dressed and waiting at field 2, ready to play

LOL, EXACTLY! We all had nothing better to do than freeze our butts off in PA for an extra 2 hours for NOTHING!

Is this the first time the Turtles have lost to a 2017 team?

No. Last year

BBL did this last year at Summer Sizzle in Md...they were getting killed by other teams and decided not to show up vs FCA. Weak program, they shouldn't get asked back to quality tournaments.

Not from either LI Express or BBL. It was Chanachuck's idea not to play. 100% sure, heard from NXT.

Although not many lacrosse tournaments have crossed into performance bonds (some top level soccer tournaments have done this), elite teams are soon going to be required to "bond" their tournament appearances to avoid this situation.

Performance bonds guard against teams walking away from matches such as we see here. Once a team participates in all of their scheduled matches, their bond (typically $1000.00) is refunded. If a team forfeits a match, the bond is used to REFUND that portion of the application fees to the impacted opponent(s).

Oh yea, that's why we sat around for 2 hrs to play the game!! You're an idiot!

Idoiot, talk to NXT and ask Chanachuck. BBL guys told me at 11am that last game wasn't being played because LI Express was leaving. Maybe you should discuss with you own leadership dope. Maybe you should be mad at MC for not telling you.

Not only were the boys of Orange dressed and ready to play so were the coaches, YES Chanenchuk was there ready to go at 2.10pm

Thanks Cage.

Lacrosse is way behind in many ways. The people who control the sport are working for selfish reason. Tournament Organizers/Owners, Club Directors/Owners, HS Coaches (who also want to profit) and Youth Lacrosse (town boards) all have their own agendas.

US Lacrosse has not set the stage effectively. The current system is a free for all.

Single year "U" based age groups is a must.
Player and Team Registration is a must.
Tier Rating of Teams based on results is a must. "A" "B" "C" Divisions.

I am not talking about Rec-league or local town based programs. I am talking about Competitive Travel Teams.

LI Team Results from Philly Showcase:

Team 91 2-1
Outlaws 1-2
Express 1-1 (BBL game shown as tie but was not played)
Turtles 2-1
fl$ 2-1

Have to give all the boys on all the teams credit for playing in 25 degree weather with a wind chill that made it feel close to 0 degrees.

Before we cast stones at glass houses, lets remember that a few weeks ago at Halloween Havoc, an Express team decided to skip a championship game and leave team 91 hanging around for nothing. Express should not critcize when they have engaged in the same behavior

Which team?

This wasn't a very representative 3d team. It was thrown together behind closed doors, and the best players from Colorado were actually not on it in favor of a couple of out of state guys. A lot of people were pretty upset when they heard this team had been put together that way.

dukes 2017

The team was 3d National. What wasn't representative about it?

There is an internal fascination with bringing in a few kids from non-3d areas who had no business being on that team. 2 if not 3 of the best attack men were not there, the best pole, and best LSM. 3 of those guys recently joined 3d Co, but aren't even close to being some of the better players and hadn't earned the right to represent 3d in something like this.

No one has any idea how or why this happened. It was a good team, but if this had been a true, national team the way WCS picks players it would have been even better.

Turtle lost and are always looking for excuses. The fact is that the kids on 3D are more skilled for their age group than the Turtles. Get over it!

It means the posters son got left off the team and hes annoyed about it...........

2 turtles (LSM,MIDDY)

2 91 (A,D)

One 91 kid overall MVP (D) and one 91 kid Allstar game MVP (A)

Express and fl$ had more players in the All-Star game than the Turtles and 91 had an equal amount. What happened?

Actually not the case. Our son was there and was only trying to make the point that this wasn't even close to being the best team 3d could have put out there, and no one knows how or why it was done this way. One of the problems of a national club and 3d is starting to have some issues with that.

The way the Turtles dominated the face-offs and shots it should have been closer or even a W for them. Our guys shine in unsettled play and that is where you saw our guys rattle off that run of 5-6 goals to win it.

It is too bad we don't play more often.

Didn't those 2 91 MVP kids use to play for the turtles?

yup turtles lost a ton of talent.
