Everyone please stop. Nothing has changed at this age. The top 4 teams are still the same: Bandits a clear #1, Igloo, S2S and HBs are next. They all played each other: S2S beat HBs, HBs beat Igloo, Igloo beat S2S. Good solid competition. Igloo then won the championship. Not sure what the big deal is that Igloo beat HBs 11-2 in championship. HBs beat Igloo 9-3 an hour earlier.
Can we all move on from the BM stuff. He won with the HBs team when they were in 3rd and 4th grade! Are you kidding me? They were 7 & 8 years old. 3/4 of the kids playing now weren't even playing then. He is a good coach, let him coach his new team and let AJ coach his team.
As far as everyone else in the bracket: look at who you played. When you played good teams in the playoffs I think it is clear what level you are at. Nothing wrong with where you are. Just don't come on here saying you are a top team in the grade. You had a good day - enjoy it. You coming on here making all kind of crazy statements is what is wrong with youth lacrosse.
There are going to be some good battles between the Bandits, HBs, S2S and Igloo. For now, the Warriors, Outlaws, Tornados, etc. are the next level. No shame in that. The boys are 11. Some will get better some will get worse.
Please make sure your son enjoys playing the games - try to be supportive and not ruin his fun. At the end of the day this is supposed to be FUN! Please remember that...
The team with the most practices so far won --- and thats a good example. Practice hard and often and good things happen. Congrats to Igloo, they won this round!
Actually, Tornados have definitely practiced more. We've been going 2-3 times a week. We'll be ready in the spring.
But you said you were going to be ready in the fall. Remember you were going to win all the t-shirts! lol
