Any predictions for the Long Island Laxfest?
Who wins their brackets? I'm going with
91orange north division
Palm beach revolution south division
91crush east division
Express wolves west division

Actually month is a big factor, most age based systems go from July to August not based entirely on calendar year

This tournament is graduation year so Crush is indeed playing up. GRADUATION YEAR

No don't know anybody. Just cant see 91white winning their bracket in the A division.

Why didn't we see the Rising Sons 2019 at the Adrenalin Black Card event? They put on a stronger showing than Mesa 2019? Express lost to Sons at Winter Nationals and I saw Rising Sons 2019 beat up on 91 Crush at St. Anthony's. Just curious why they were not there.

wasn't it an invite only where the organization got invited. Invite the top organization and you gain traction.

Do the Dune Dawgs and 91 orange ever play each other? The 2 best 2019 teams yet it seems they are never at the same tournaments? Whats up with that?

How did 2019 Express do yesterday?

is it true that laxachusettes 2019 yellow had 2018 players playing because it sure looked like it?

Team 91 2019 Orange took it all. Went 5 and 0 for the two days.

Beat Express in championship 11 to 4.

Why not, my husband had a guy with 91 stampede tell him his son isn't on the team just gets the invite to show up when the team wants to win a tournent.....do the parents on the team get pissed when there paying son who goes to all the practices has to sit out while the invite kid plays his position? Or do. They just want the shirt?

Nice Try! There were no "guest" players on 2019 91 Stampede at LI Laxfest.

Have to second that opinion - several people mentioned the same thing to me

Laxachusetts should not be invited back next year. The coaches admitted that they had several older prep school kids on the team. Their defense was dangerously unruly and the entire team was not very skilled, just 6 inches taller and 30lbs heavier than the true 7th graders. Stay classy Boston

Isn't stampede a B team. In all honesty it really doesn't matter who plays in the B games. If the kid is that good he would be playing in the A bracket for somebody. If he is an a kid for another organization then there would be a problem but winning that won't mean much

How about Crush admitting they lost and deal with the consequences? This from a team that runs up the score, goes behind the back, and trashes everyone they play. Congrats Laxachusetts for beating the mighty Crush!!!!

What is true is that parents of that program admitted that they have held their children TWICE! In 3rd grade and again in 7th. Technically these boys should be in 9th grade. This is the problem with GRADE based tournaments. There is no way to prove a grade AND if a child is held he is older BUT in the grade.

2 thoughts on this, first, how does a kid feel knowing that they have been held back s o they can "play down" ? Second, these boys should be dominating their "grade" and they are not, this results in an overly physical game because they are losing to players younger then them. Their parents are inadvertently ruining their self esteem, which is a very important component to being a good player.

Liar! You absolutely had a kid play with you who is an invite.... You also had a kid get ejected from the tourney....parents are loose cannons on the sideline..... Give me a break....stay classy Tournament Champions 7B.... Win a shirt anyway you can:)

Yup its true, they lost to 14 and 15 year old kids who should actually be in 8th and 9th grade (fact) no excuses a loss is a loss. It happens when you play up and attempt to actually compete. I think they should stay in local tournaments and play all the "Mighty" 2020 teams on long Island and see how that works.

Seems like the only complaining is coming from the Crush/Laxachusetts game. Laxachusetts went on to lose to Express and the game was actually fairly clean but still physical. Do any of the other 2019 teams have complaints about Laxachusetts? BTW, that enormous defenseman on Laxachusetts is a legit 2001 birth year kid.
