Im sure this makes for a long car ride back to the hotel for the "great club" I'm not sure who is going to be more pisssed, Muffy or little sport in the backseat. The both of them looking at you in disgust because you couldn't fix the situation for them. Sad day to be crabdad, way to let your sons down on national television in front of Body by Jake.

Humiliated? Hardly.

Wait until the next tournament. I imagine we'll see the same whining we saw from T91 last month.

looked like they were all smiles after the game.. imagine being 13 and on ESPN2 .. you would have crapped in your cavariccis

Interestingly enough some of the same boys that played w the 2020s at Beach Lax showed up at YoungGunz playing on the 2019 team again. Counted at least 3 of them and probably a 4th too. Guess they are playing up this weekend since they did not qualify for Denver!? Where oh where will they show up next weekend?

You guys have zero perspective because you do not have kids who've gone through youth-hs lacrosse.

The Crabs get better every year because they are not sentimental during tryouts. I've seen Crab team that change the roster 50%+ from one season to the next (and no, those are not all kids who've reclassed).

The Crabs 2014 team went undefeated during their HS club careers, but lost games with different rosters during the MS years. Several of them were not on the team then.

You'll see a different Crabs team in the fall (and no, it will not be just because of kids who've reclassed).

Congratulations on your Super Bowl win. You were the better team today.

What was the final score?

Congrats Team 91. They are phenomenal team that put on clinic today with behind back feeds and scores on multiple occassions. We clearly were not same team as first time and that was certainly due to some of holdbacks but more to do with they played bad lacrosse today. Our holdbacks don't account for 11 goals. We caught Team 91 a little down at the beach, probably a little over confident as well. 10-6 beginning of first half and we fell asleep with soft D, weak slides, strange middy lines and allowed them to go on 6 point run. We knew they are better team but our boys could have kept that game with in 3-5 goals. Turned ball over with poor passing and throwing five times. Can't do that. No physicality or hustle for ground balls. We can draw conclusions about what are team is without holdbacks and we think they are as good and compete with any team in the country. They are inconsistent like many 13 year old boys. Team 91 Crush is the most dominant club team at any age group for years. They often bump up and smoke good 2019 teams. Watched them beat Hawks 2019 team like a dog. As far as remainder of teams Crabs is very strong team. This is all practice for high school and we are proud of the little Crabs. Many of our boys will now put the stick down and slide on football pads and soccer cleats. It's not an excuse, it's a reality. Very difficult to compete against kids/club that are laxers all year long. Team 91 is best 13 year olds in the world. Incredible to watch.

I'm a md guy and have to say Losing by 11 goals is a good old fashioned [lacrosse] whoopin. Considering you won in beach lax in OT I think that is enough proof of the holdback factor. In a loss by 11 you can't go with the kids didn't play well. Bottom line is the Crabs are an average organization when they play on an even playing field. Did they have 8 coaches today all looking around and not knowing how to coach without kids physically bigger? It's a Different game coaching kids when everyone is the same age... You can't just pick a kid 18 months older and say go to the goal.
It would be great for youth lacrosse if all tourneys were set up like this and didn't favor the holdbacks.

Despite your parenthetical denials, the majority of Crabs teams do become made up of primarily holdback kids with the majority moving at end of 8th grade. The team and their MiAA schools encourage it. It will catch up with them as more and more tourneys go combo age and grade like Denver did. Then the Crabs historical advantage will be over. In the mean time, everyone knows their game and don't really see them as champions or view them with respect.

I think you are right, glad the kids are smiling. would have loved to see the parents in the stands, back to work for pretzel boy to work the system, i unfortunately feel a trip to Jonestown for the kids who didnt get it done because Ryan thinks the field is level even though it's not. I might have [lacrosse] my pants,will never know. Think you would have done the same thing, the only difference is I would have cleaned myself up

19-8

If crabs get past Rising Sons, what is the over/ under on the 91 - Crabs final? I say 91 wins by 15!

[/quote] Incorrect. Look at Crabs 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017, for example. The majority of those are not holdbacks. Not even close.

I don't have a Crabs kid, but I read this forum, and especially this thread, with amusement. How in the world can you say the "Crabs are average" when they just went through the World Series of Lacrosse undefeated until the championship game, and then lost to the best team in the country? The 8 goals they scored were more than Sons (smoked 20-3) and all the other teams scored combined. Team 91 is definitely the best team in the country, period. Crabs are right behind them. When all the second tier clubs like Hawks, Breakers, FCA, Cannons, etc. catch up and get invited, speak up then. Until then, just stop the nonsense - you may hate them, but calling them average makes you sound like a moron...

The Crabs scored first. At some tournaments (Bay Bridge Brawl), that's all you have to do to claim the Win.

Hogan...Aloha....NXT...are you reading the recurring theme here? People want grade based with an age cut off. Do that for your tournaments -heck most reasonable parents would even pay more and you don't need the Crabs at your tournaments. There are enough competitive on age teams you would have your tourneys full. Who is going to stand up to King Crabby first?
