I heard that rumor that they may follow the route of elite soccer, but also heard another rumor that they were instead going to collectively go to a HS in West Islip so they could all play.

The Turtles are a great 2017 team and probably the best in the country at the age group, but at some point they are going to have to stand on their own as individuals when it comes to playing at the next level. I have no doubt that many of those kids will end up playing college lacrosse, but lets slow down here, they havent even gotten into high school yet. Lots of things can happen between now and 10th grade.


Interesting pint. Will be interesting to see how the boys will fare individually away from mother turtle. I did hear one suggestion whispered that they may decide collectively to not play for their schools and just stay together and play for turtles year round. I'll believe it when I see it but that would be a shame if that is how it unfolds or if that eventually becomes a bigger trend generally.
