Not exactly. He just keeps churning through a new group of unaware consumers. I bet there are less than 20% of express customers (suckers) that stick with them for more than a 2-3 years. But there is always a new wave every year of more suckers with starry eyed fantasies that he can suck dry when the more experienced families have long exited the crime scene.

I would disagree with this statement from my experience I only know my sons team but in the 4 years he has played on the team I can only think of a small handful that left on their own, most left when they were cut, I also find it so interesting that people only rip one director, granted he is the face of the organization but don't the other partners also cash checks? they must be willing partners but we never read about them on here, why is that?

Express FOGO to Penn State. congratulations kid!

Express FOGO to Penn State. congratulations kid!

were you there and is you kid on the team or are you just posting random thoughts on a web site? A lot of the chatter has been about the Terps this past weekend, particularly the final game against the Crabs - The Crabs game was the fourth game of the day and there were hardly any coaches at that game. All the kids had plenty of opportunities to showcase their talents all day. If your kid is not getting significant playing time in a game with his club team he is probably not going to be an early recruit so relax already, still lots of showcases, tournaments and games left for all the boys to showcase, this is a marathon not a sprint.

Great job! Nice program and coach!

which year?

2018

What H S ?

Three most important plays in lacrosse are FOGOs winning face off, goalie saves and goalie clears. Regardless of new rule you need the ball at X to win and you need a good ball stopper in the cage. Coaches prize those two spots more than all other. Attackmen and middies who are great athletes are abundant. Top FOGOs and keepers are rare.

Penn state locking up fogos interesting w rule changes

Of course it is a team game, but there is a relative scale. You think Duke was the best team in last two years because of anything besides face offs and goalie play? Cuse was on the way to beating them, and Notre Dame was clearly the deeper team in the finals last year but Duke was able to just hang on because of face off wins and goalie play. Duke had very little midfield depth and lost a key starter in the NCAA tournament and still got away with it. You think Bryant College beats Cuse in the dome without dominant face off and goalie play? Then look at UVa. They have had weak goalie play and so so X play since 2011 and can't win with #1 rated recruiting classes all over the field at other positions. UNC season fell apart last year when they had injuries at FOGO. It is silly to debate this. If you don't win face offs or make clears, you can't have possessions or win. If your goalie gives up 15 yard shots he can see or gives up rebounds all day you can't win. With a weak midfield or an iffy LSM card you can compensate. Recent NCAA champs proved it.

Duke pulled goalies on multiple occasions in the NCAA's and two years ago started different goalie in the semi's and the finals because of poor play - if goalie was that important Penn St would have won a few titles by now - short sighted to not give more love the the entire team and thin that two players won them two titles - Duke won despite their goalies not because of them

Baloney, Luke Aaron was a beast last year.

TERPS lost all games at adrenaline today. MC, karma is a [lacrosse]. Too bad u only had 18 kids. Where were ur other 20?

That is a lie. Terps went 2-1 - beat up on LB3 and Mesa Fresh Fever and lost to West Coast Starz by 1.

How was playing time?

playing time was great yesterday - all games started and ended on time with 23 minute running time halves. Same as most other tournaments why do you ask?

Any 2018 team can beat another on any given day. The teams are that close. 91 is no better than Crabs and Express is no better than 91. They are all that good.

Sit back and enjoy some really good lacrosse in this bracket.

Sorry I was there yesterday 91 Extreme is far above any other team in the 2018 division

Crabs, FCA Express are one level down

"on any given day" is a platitude/rationalization you could apply to any competitive sport and is unprovable by definition. What's a fact are the actual scores on any given day, and that's why the games are played with referees, scoreboards and clocks. You can only talk about the games actually played, won and lost. 'any given day' games don't exist.
