After one day of play at Summer Sizzle, Terps - 38, their competition - 1, just sayin'

Crush wins NXT easily, as did Legacy and Terps in their tourneys this past weekend. Any others I'm leaving out?

Yes Legacy and the Terps won their tournaments against the B and C teams that they played. They should be embarrassed to play the teams that that they played against this weekend.

Congratulations to Crush who played A, presumably Legacy did also. Terps can not claim to be in the same class. They did not "win" a Championship - they sandbagged 31 other teams in pursuit of a trophy. Nobody is in awe.
We are all just embarassed for them and by them registering as "B" to win a trophy.

I witnessed some craziness on the sidelines this weekend at the NXT cup! The parents/coaches and players on them 91 Titanium were literally out of control. I don't know what these parents are thinking when they behave the way they did. The kids have obviously learned to follow their lead because they were cursing on the field and they played very dirty. I can just say, it was a sorry display of sportsmanship.

Crush has several "star" players and a lot of depth. Their new additions are working out very nicely. That's what happens when you have an experienced coach who knows how to recruit the best players. I agree that they need to play up more. They are able to maintain good relationships and share players with other teams because of good sportsmanship agreements, nothing wrong with that. They're plenty of very good 2019 teams Crush can play while avoiding DD.

As long as the kids aren't too big. we see what happens when they play against size. and that's ok because it is to be expected. That's why when they get to HS everything evens out as usual

Thing is Crush boys are growing just like everyone else. The difference is that they are just better lacrosse players. They are more skilled and have much better lax IQ. The reason for that is innate ability combined with an extreme dedication to the sport. As time goes on, most of the Crush boys will continue to dominate. I say this because the best boys on all teams will continue to be the best. Yes some will fade and others will emerge. Everything does not even out in HS. The good kids will still be the good kids, for the most part. I really hate to bring up the Turtles, but the two teams are rather similar in their domination of the sport. The Crush boys will follow the Turtle path. I have already heard many college coaches talking about them. They are on the radar and being watched already. That is not hearsay, I heard it from the mouth of several D1 coaches.

Turtles much more balanced and didn't rely solely on three players. Crush is good team but everything flows through three kids that play 90-100% of every game. That's not an equation to get your kid recruited. Nice to be part of a winning team but you're kidding yourself if you think anyone knows about your kid outside of the big 3.

Yes, I read some things on here about the coaches from Titanium before this weekend and nothing that was said did any justice. Usually its a few bad apples but in their case its a whole crate full of them. Love how the coaches knocked off the last 90 seconds of the Sons game by arguing a call that was in their favor. Two childish coaches that would not leave the field as the time continued to dwindle. Complete a-hole parents, kids and coaches. Surprised 91 allows this to go on. I wish there was video of you 91 titanium dads.

fl$ won Crimson Classic in Boston. Tomahawks were really the only strong competition though.

[quote=Anonymous]Was the boy hurt vs Titanium ok? [/quote

I forgot about that play, yes luckily the boy that was hit in the head while he was down is ok. Another real classy play by 91

What happened [/quote
The very first call of the game had the parents screaming (and it was a call that went against the other team), they went down 2-0 right away and the parents were going off the deep end. One dad got kicked out (but came right back and his son congratulated him about that after the game), security had to be called because everyone was afraid it was going to get ugly, 91 players were slashing the other team off ball, players were cursing on the field. I truly felt it was all an attempt to intimidate the refs and the opposing players. Just all around ugliness.

Really? It is amazing the garbage people make up.

Most importantly the boy on the Looney's is OK and they were being cautious, better safe than sorry.

One of the first on the field to check on the boy was a Titanium mother in the medical field to offer support.

The coach of Titanium stayed well after the tournament to contact the other team, tournament directors to find out how the boys was doing.

Regarding what actually happened there was no hit in the head, he was hit in the neck by the ball, an unfortunate accident. Luckily he is fine.

But to take an injury to slander a team is what is classless.

So first, the mother who rendered her aid....that is what she is supposed to do. You don't get bonus points. 2nd, the kids from 91 were swinging their sticks at our kids from Loonies like baseball bats at the end, there were several punches thrown and even one kid told our coach to go F himself in the handshake line. Some days I didn't wish I had to be a role model could I would light your daddy's up.

From the sounds of it, this team should not be invited back. Unfortunately, it is behavior like this that makes everyone from LI look bad, and there have to be some decent Long islanders out there, right?!
