BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Boys 2022 Fall 2013/Summer 2014

Who cares? You are ALL losing site of what is important. Both sides sound rediculous! Maybe the adults should be looking to the kids as an example of how to act. Instead of arguing about which team is the best, you should have been paying attention to your kids. Yes, remember them? They were the ones out on the beach, in the pool, on the field, at the resteraunts, and guess what? They were all enjoying their time together! YES believe it or not both Smash kids and United kids were all having fun TOGETHER!! The parents here are the real issue. This is YOUTH lacrosse guys, come on, really!? These boys for the most part will continue to grow and play together for years to come regardless of what teams they play on. IF we are lucky enough. Let me put things in perspective for you ALL. They are KIDS!! If we are lucky the will grow to be HEALTHY, young men. Here are some names I know many of you have heard of, Nick Colleluori, Nate Greenberg, Thomas Napoli, Wyatt Klute, Steven Bartlett. If you don't know who they are look them up. Every day is a gift! Do you think it's important to their parents what youth lacrosse team they played on? Give it a rest! The things being said on here are disgusting. Look, we all watched this weekend, and ALL the kids played hard. Its the adults that are obsessing about it. The kids forgot about it the minute they stepped off the field and onto the beach. How about saying something positive once in a while. It looks pathetic for adults to feel better about themselves by putting down kids. Lead by example!

How comes there isn't any talk about how the Rising Sons took the heart out of Team 91 2021? After losing to the Sons 6-3 they got smashed by Crabs. You could see the life leaving them as the Sons took the title. You knew 91 was going down bad to crabs after that beating by the Sons.

The reason there's no talk here is because this the 2022 thread.

Team 91 Smash, Team 91 United, Igloo 2022, Team LI White, Express 2022....

How do these teams rank, and what are the other "best" club & town 2022 LI Teams?

Thanks for opening Pandora's box with this group again. And now the 91 chest thumping will continue. Smash dads, please tell us how great your son's team is for the 800th time.

Smash Rules. 801

Realistic view of this age group:
Smash and TLI are a lot closer than smash would lite to think.
Igloo is next. Then united. Then express. Although
United and express have closed the gap a lot with igloo.
Wouldn't be surprised if they beat them this summer.
Also the gap has closed on smash's dominance too.
This age group could be in for an exciting summer.
The rest of the teams-hdd, legacy, outlaws are no where
near these top teams.

I agree. It's not a knock on TLI. In fact, I think their age based rather than grade based approach may be best given all the cheesy grade holding back that goes. But if we are looking at it from a grade perspective and TLI has 5th graders on the team then they should not be in the discussion with teams that have only 4th graders.

Since TLI has some 5th graders on it I'm not sure it really qualifies for this age group and no one ever gets to see them play in any of the tournaments that the rest of the group plays in. United beat them at Hershey last year so not sure they are #2

People , these boys are in 4th grade. Are you serious. They are doing things that your older kids , if you have any , were probably doing a year later if not more. Leave them alone and let them play. Remember that they listen while you talk .

United has a fifth grader also so I guess they should be removed from the conversation.

Igloo lost to maryland cannons today

Igloo is not that good. They live off the 2021 team's reputation.

If you are going to be a jerk regarding 10 year old boys then at least be witty (def...witty: amusingly or ingeniously clever in conception or execution).

I believe the Maryland Cannons are the 2021 Cannons Gold which finished in 4th in the NPYLL U11AA division. They are a very, very good team. I am surprised to see them competing in the U11A division of this tournament. I doubt there are any 2022 teams that could beat them with any consistency. This is the problem with single year teams being the younger part of the double year system.

Dback 2022 beat cannons 2021AA team in quarter finals of summer exposure. Dback 2022 lost in finals to a Bitmore 2021 team.

Smash wins over 32 on championship, 32 beat igloo who beat united,

1. Smash
2. 32
3. Igloo
4. United

For the time being but 32, igloo and united all played to within one goal or less...good competition

Did not see all those teams in playoffs yesterday?!!!

My son plays on Prime Time 2022 located up in the Cross River NY area. We played in the Big time shootout tournament this past weekend and got beat very badly by Team Long Island twice. Once in pool play and again in the championship. From what I heard they killed everyone they played. Does anyone know anything about this team? I never saw them at any of the other tournaments my son played in. They were very good.

Igloo, united and 32 were all in on bracket and united got eliminated.
