My son is on the White 91 team and last year this team lost every game they played. So this year they did some revamping of the team. Got some new players got rid of some old players, new coaches etc. It is very nice you all think we should be playing in the A division, but give us a chance to win some games too. Our boys deserve it and work hard for it.

Let's get this topic turned around. Great tournament for a great cause. Let's not lose site of that. I am sure most of the kids enjoyed the tournament....Those who's parents who choose to make excuses for little Johnnie's team losing and get the kids involved may tell a different story. Tournaments are not perfect and never will be. If you cannot get over that than put little Johnnie in golf.

I have never before been to this part of this site before. A friend of mine told me about this topic and to check it out.
Are you people for real. I have been involved in the game of lacrosse for 30 years. When I first started to play everyone was about the game. It had not been tainted by the parents yet because they didn't know enough about the game to complain. I have a 9yr old boy who loves to play this game, and thats what it is right now for him, a game. Something that he does to have fun and compete against other kids his age. Instead of teaching our kids about being "ELITE" or "A" or "B" players, lets try to remember they are children and our job as parents is to teach them about good sportsmanship and morals.
My son asked me on the way to the tournament, "Who is Andy Forsberg?" I told him I didnt know but will find out for him. What I got out of this weekends tournament was that I am so lucky to be on the sidelines to watch my sons games. I am sure the Forsberg kids would love nothing more than to have their father on the sidelines to see their games. It amazes me that such an awesome event gets overlooked by a bunch of parents who have nothing better to do then put other kids/teams down. When I told my son who Andy Forsberg was and what he did for his community he said to me, "Wow Daddy that is nice, but I'm glad there is not a tournament named after you"!! THANK YOU ANDY!! Even though you were not there this weekend you taught my son a very valuable life lesson!!!!

Sincerely,
Matthew LoNigro Jr's father

Where was the Havoc/Dune Dawgs 5th Grade Green team yesterday? There were many Havoc/Dune Dawgs teams there but not them. Rumor has it that they will not enter that team in a tournament without their two 91 players who were playing out of town this weekend. How can the parents put up with this nonsense.

Isn't it time to get over yourself and your grudge.

Who do you think you are that another team that your child doesn't play on is any of your business.

You have participated in turning the attention away form a good cause toward your nonsense. Shame on you!

If the Havoc/Dune Dawgs 5th grade team showed up and beat the pants off of all the other 5th grade teams you'd have something to say about that too.

Move on, the focus should be on the teams that did play and the good cause. It should also be about memorializing a man who did so much good in the community. try following the example.

This is not a grudge towards d/d , but most likley a 91 parent who's kid sat on the sidelines in OC while the two D/D kids who are on that 5th grade team played for 91 Crush over the weekend , and did not see the light of day on that field because those two scholared kids took playtime away from many loyal kids of team , only to be defeated by same Program competition while at the expense of mommy and daddys hard earned money to take that trip . pay for hotel , food , gas .. only to becoome a sideline fixture.. When will it stop ? Its a shame that a great cause here on long island is not recognized by even the elite "Orange Julius" himself... ALL HAIL ...
