No way Outlaws Black 2018 wins this weekend. Will lose by at least 4 to LIE Wolverines if they get by Tribe.

How about in the A bracket they have a weak B team in there. I feel bad for that team and other teams playing them. All teams want a good game not blow outs!!!

Has LIE Wolves even started practicing yet?

You can say it! True Blue in trouble!

Already 2 practices in...

Kid not on OL. Unless wolves seriously upgraded, heard they lost key pole/lsm to fl$, they will have their hands full with OL Black. That team is BIG and FAST. Should be a battle.

Wow, can you tell us what horse is going to win the Belmont and by how much? As far as I know, the Wolverines have not played a game since November and only just started practicing within the past week and you have them beating a very solid team that has been playing all winter and spring by at least 4?

The Wolverines' bigger loss was their fogo to the Outlaws Black

Black barely beat the Express C team at Blaitant this spring. Let's talk about their greatness on Monday...

Fear of what. Give credit where credit is due. Extreme a 2018 team just beat Jesters 2017, Outlaws 2017 and I don't know how they did vs True Blue 2017 in JDRF. They have also played many other top teams so far this Spring. Terps have also played some of the Best Teams like Dukes and Crabs and many others so far this season and done very well. When whatever teams you consider an A teams beats them then they can claim to be the top dogs in 2018. As of right now Extreme and Terps are.

Express Wolverines just started practicing?

Yes. They do nothing November through May.

Seeing how many of Extreme's players should be 2017's, I wouldn't be spouting off too much... Please don't say it's not true, and don't worry I won't lower myself to listing them here. Not their fault they were held back. The fact is, put those kids on the 91 2017 team where they belong and it makes an Extreme difference... Sorry.

STOP!

just to be clear, my son was born in 2000 and is a 2018 and plays for Express not 91.

Thanks for slowing down. So you think people who were born in 1998 belong in 2018? Might not be illegal but certainly is not where they belong. People born in three different years shouldn't be in same grade.

Agree that the system allows for the cheaters to cheat and hold their kids back...It goes on in Maryland and Phili all the time. There was a big article about the practice a few weeks back.

Sounds like the LI crew is starting to catch on and chase that D-1 spot...

Cant even imagine telling mine-age appropriate 2018 born in 2000 (with straight As in honors classes in competitive public school) that I thought it would be a good idea to repeat a grade...

Let the cheaters cheat, it will catch up to them eventually.

yes, I think that any kid that is graduating in 2018 should play on a 2018 team, there were 8th and 9th graders playing varsity lacrosse this year across long island - that is a 5 or potentially 6 year age difference and I doubt that they were complaining about the age difference. they just played

it is not cheating, it is playing with and against kids in your graduating year

WHY ? This years team should be called Brine Extreme

I really love hearing the justifications of why it's "OK" that you're gaming the system at others expense. I.E. Cheating. Do you ever ask yourself why there are rules in other sports that forbid this, football, hockey, soccer, baseball, etc.
It's also comical how you folks even try to take the moral high ground, like your doing the rest of the kids a favor by having them play up against your kid who's playing down.
For the moron that use's the analogy "plenty of 8th and 9th graders played up on JV or Varsity and they didn't complain" to justify his actions.
Try hard to comprehend here, when an 8th or 9th grader makes a decision to play JV or Varsity they are doing it because they want to. Get it? The player made the choice to play up. In your world, YOU make the choice for all the kids that want to play on age for them, and force them to play up against your kid who plays down. You can call it whining, or whatever you want. It's just not right and everyone knows it.
Personally, my son is on age and physically mature for his age, he can handle your hold back anytime he needs to. However, many kids cannot. You and your kind, like your friends in MD and PA are a stain on this sport. As I have said many times before, the only way this stops is if US Lacrosse steps up and demands proof of age for any tournament or showcase they insure.

you are getting worked up at the wrong person here, My opinion is that any kid graduating in 2018 should play in 2018, My kid was born in 2000 and is the "correct" age for a 2018 and he plays on a 2018 team, I would never hold him back to get an advantage in lacrosse - I just don't care what age any other kid is as long as he is also graduating in 2018. I want my son to compete against him, this is who is going to be recruited against and I know the college coaches don't care how old he or any other kid is only what year he is graduating.

All I am saying is IT IS NOT CHEATING to be on a 2018 team if you are scheduled to graduate high school in 2018 - it might not be fair and it might be taking advantage within the rules but in no way is it cheating.
