M&D was by far the best team we played this summer and it will be interesting to see how things go next year.

Usually lots of movement at the young ages in most strong clubs, 8th 9 th grade the roster changes settle down, and the teams become what they are, for now it is a battle for supremacy between players on each team and even team status amongst other clubs.

M&D was by far the best team we played this summer and it will be interesting to see how things go next year. Elevate was a good team, second best on LI behind YJ in this age group, a great accomplishment. Just to complete the picture, YJ was 3-0 against Elevate this summer. Some close games but they were played as "short" 20 minute playoff games. The one full game they played was 6-1. I would get a win against these programs before you put yourself out there as being at their level. By the way, the Skywalkers team that played in that tourney was listed as 2021/2022 so I would expect you to beat them.

The fact that Elevate lost to YJ early in tournament season by a wider margin when the team had only practiced twice together, the better and more accurate picture was the 3-2 game which took place toward the end of tournament season after the kids actually played together for several weeks.

Re: Girls 2021 Fall 2014/Summer 2015 Anonymous #91765 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A M&D is an elite program and 2021 Black is an elite team. However, as time goes by, the talent gap closes and the team concept is challenged by recruiting pressures. The key is not only assembling talent, but building a team that can withstand those pressures. Lots of good teams at 2021. Good luck to all!

Don't see too many behind the back goals in 6th grade Who cares if some hot dog scores behing the back in 6 th grade . 90 percent of top travel team kids can shoot behind their back at that age it's just most reasonable parents tell them not to.

Re: Girls 2021 Fall 2014/Summer 2015 Anonymous #91777 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A Actually, a behind the back shot is an effective weapon in any player's arsenal. Many of the top scorer's in top level lacrosse use that shot to score. It's part of the game. Not saying that a 6th grader needs it to prove her worth, but more power to the kid that can wield their stick at the higest of levels and it sure does not make them "hot dogs."

Not exactly a difficult shot to make even for a 6th grader mainly because they are playing against other 6th graders. Nothing more annoying than a kid passing up a high percentage shot to run into position for the behind the back hot dog shot. Rarely a kid catches the ball running out of angle so the behind the back increases that angle which I have no problem with it.

Very impressive group at M&D, I am looking forward to the summer when both teams are at full strength. I cannot talk for M&D but several top YJ players were not at this event.

Perhaps, but that will fade to black as the team has changed significantly this off season. I hope they continue to be good but great seems like a distant memory, only time will tell.

Re: Girls 2021 Fall 2014/Summer 2015 Anonymous #91972 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A YJ will be even stronger next year after they drop a couple weak links, like the siblings and add some of the very good new talent from the tryout.

That's ok it will be a better experience for the remaining players. Unlike most of the parents in the lax world nowadays I will be happy to see the 2020 black team play without the girls that left. Smaller roster and SS coaching them will make them better players. Remember being undefeated means nothing to the college coaches that will be recruiting the girls in three years . Ability to play in the team concept and grow as young ladies on the field and in the classroom is what they will be looking for. The good old days are gone. It was fun to watch the one dominant player take over a game all by herself! I wish her well . I look forward to watching her continue to grow as a player it will be great to see her succeed in life and lacrosse. Good old days , good memories and friendships, better days ahead for all! It's only a game and it will be over before we all know it is.

SS to her credit lived and thrived as an isolation player, one of the best ISO players ever. That is what she will be coaching too, great for the couple kids she deems worthy, frustrating for the rest. That being said, 2020 group of parents are the most obnoxious and annoying group ever. This isn't even your age group thread and you have to come on here and make it about you. I thought the dismantling of the 2020 black team would quite all you chest pounders down, your worse than ever. Maybe that's half the reason all the players and coach ditched the team.

Re: Girls 2021 Fall 2014/Summer 2015 Anonymous #92067 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A So what makes M&D 2021 so good? Never seen them play, but I assume they too have one or two outstanding players that do a bulk of their scoring. That's how it usually works at this age level. How about thier defense? Goalkeepers?

Re: Girls 2021 Fall 2014/Summer 2015 Anonymous #92068 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A Also, same questions as above regarding Yellow Jackets. Did YJ and M&D play last year? If so, I assume the game(s) wes (were) close? Two evenly matched teams? If so, fun rivalry to watch in the coming years.

Not saying he does it out of anything other than necessity but team concept is laughable. Actually if you watched all those 2020 games, you have it backwards. The isolation player feasted relentlessly on the weak teams and struggled against the tough defense, those games were won through team play. On the HS level running plays through and to certain girls is not the same thing as isolation play. Isolation means clear out fan, get out of the way, one girl is gonna try to dodge, spin bull her way to goal, no matter double or triple team defense. Completely different than running set plays to a cutting shooter, even if it is the same shooter over and over it is still team play.

Re: Girls 2021 Fall 2014/Summer 2015 Anonymous #92080 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A I have an idea. Now that we have declared Tog Guns 2020 the best team in the 2021 age group, why don't we move all discussion of that team to the 2020 board? Thanks!

They stay in front of their girls and are very good at clearing the ball. I agree they are relentless on ground balls. It is not one or two girls that dominate the game. They come at you in waves and really there is no drop down when certain players come off the field.

Didn't M&D get tested by Crossfire this weekend, a team comprised of 2 towns and a few friends this weekend. I would be careful before I put them in the untouchable category.

Re: Girls 2021 Fall 2014/Summer 2015 Anonymous #92095 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A Just reading this thread and wanted to say this...I did not see anybody say M&D was untouchable or anything close to that. Any of these teams can, and all of them will be defeated at some point. However, that does not mean that what the prior poster stated is not true...maybe that team does have a lot of good players and maybe they are good on both ends of the field. And as far as that goes, Yellow Jackets is well known for bringing teams to Maryland that conveniently leave behind some of the lesser players and then claiming they did not have their full team. In some cases---not saying that was the case here---they brought only who they wanted to bring and left some of the other kids home on purpose. I have absolutely seen this in the older age groups. So, just like M&D is not untouchable (and I am SURE they are not) I also know that "two towns and some friends" can have a whole range of meanings. The fact that you seem to express enthusiasm over somebody losing by only 5 3 or 4 goals in a short game tells me that M&D must be a pretty solid squad, even if not untouchable.

M&D has not lost to YJ the two times they played so they are the champs until someone beats them. M&D can only play who shows-up so YJ nation just has to deal with it until this summer. As for the above, page 397 of the Top Guns forum started to address this long before the tourney results were finalized. The title of the entry by the YJ organization for the 2021 age group was YJ-Miller and not YJ-Blue. This was done to distinguish the top summer travel team from this combination of YJ and non-YJ players, many of which are part of the Crossfire team. No offense to the non-YJ players but this does create problems within the YJ organization as several YJ 2021 players were "stuck" with 2020 age teams and a couple of others were closed out of registration because the non-YJ players filled up the allowable roster spots. Some of these players are very good and would have added value.

M&D is not great at draw control. It is actually one of their few weaknesses at this point. The team that gave M&D the most trouble last year was Redshirts out of Baltimore. They played 5 times and M&D was 4-0-1 against them, but that tie was the only game that M&D didn't win against 2021 competition last year. They lost 3 games all year, 2 against 2019 teams and one to Skywalkers 2020 Blue.

Re: Girls 2021 Fall 2014/Summer 2015 TheBackOfTheCage #92207 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A Disloyalty? Selfishness? displacing? Crossfire is two towns that didn't have enough kids to create their own travel team a few years back so they got together and added a few kids from nearby towns to fill out a roster. The team has YJ, TG, BB and Blue Devils players on it. It's intent was to give the girls an opportunity to play in tournaments that their teams weren't entered in or, in the case of last weekend, not enough players were entered. If anyone was watching the YJ rosters when registration for the event was closed there were only 7 2021s registered and they were added into the 2020 teams. There was no 2021 team registered. The CF coaches contact YJ, ask to pull the 4 CF kids off the YJ 2020 rosters and bring the rest of their team down. No displacement, there was never a YJ 2021 registered. No disloyalty, if there was a full team the girls would have played for their YJ teams. No selfishness, if your kid lived in their school districts they would have been on the team. No drama, definitely not a showcase team, just a bunch of kids that play in local tournaments outside of their travel programs when they can. This was their first trip off the island. M&D has a very good team but give CF some credit, they were down 4 to 0, came back and road 4 to 3 into the final few minutes of play.

There was well over a dozen YJ 2021 players on two different mixed rosters with 2020 players. They easily could have run an effective 2021 team with that group and other girls that were shut out of registration due to this Crossfire nonsense. If you look at the roster that attended, 15 of the girls. Have a YJ affiliation and althought they may also have a crossfire relationship, YJ could have easily run a 2021 team without the non-YJ Crossfire players. Not every player on the roster played for Crossfire before this tourney so it was not just team Crossfire. Several YJ Blue and Gold 2021 played on a 2020 team at this tourney to accommodate non-YJ Crossfire players which is absolute BS.

They're just out to have fun as the game was intended. I am sure it was that innocent. However, who decided on which 2021 YJ got shipped to a 2020 team, CR, Coach M, did he have input? The end result were several current 2021 YJ Blue and Gold players feeling really left out in the 2020 world. Not a nice thing to do to your teammates. The best played for crossfire. The rest played with 2020, that's it simple. End the conversation.

You mean this wasn't simply a bunch of blue collar girls from two towns (and some friends) thrown together to just go out there, toss the ball 'round best they could, aw shucks, just have a little fun? You mean to tell us that some kids were pushed to another team and it had nothing to do with that wholesome, homespun, story we were reading above? You, know, these stories are almost always too good to be true. Here I was thinking the stars aligned and a bunch of ponytailed rec level kids pooled their resources, hired a couple late model Buick Roadmasters and in true Bad News Bears fashion almost tilted the girls lax world on its M&D axis. Bruce Springsteen was already writing the lyrics to "Small Town Girls and Their Friends" and now we find out it was all just a ruse. Those rascally Yellow Jackets!!! What was it that Forrest Gump said? The Yellow Jackets are like a box of chocolate...you never know what you're gonna get."

Congrats to MD United East on a well deserved "Brave Heart" OT championship today! I am sure our teams will play a number of games over the years and may they all be as hard fought as this one was. Maryland is loaded with talent at this age level and this weekend's tournament proves that point. Good luck to all in the coming weeks!

Should have milked away the last few minutes instead of trying to add to lead. MD United played tough. Personally think bravehearts are a ridiculous way to decide a championship.

CR is losing it when she allows these wanna be coaches actually take over thee teams , now at the 2020 and 2021 ages you have daddy coaches who have zero lacrosse experience or knowledge. Both having their only claims to fame is they have managed to alienate a lot if kids on their YJ teams and TG teams because they think their kids are better than their teamates.

So here's the thing, if it looks like three girls are being added, they will move three down when they announce rosters. The top teams are more apparent as you see what is going on, the bigger guess work is on second and third teams. Say the second team had three new players with them at tryouts, add to that three moving down, now you have a potential of six kids (in this example) being moved off second to third team. It is the trickle down effect that happens in every club, every age group and every team, every year. Teams don't get better by turning away talent because you have enough players already. Honestly the kids and parents who get moved down a team should embrace it as an opportunity to become a impact player on a team more their speed rather than trying to compete over their heads, weather its to 1st, 2nd, 3rd.....team.

When a kid gets moved down off blue 90% of the time the parents start to call other clubs to see if they have any open roster spots on the A teams in the other club.

Girls usually stop playing rec(town) after 5th grade for the most part. Some sooner. What kind of competition are the town leagues up there?

Then the girls can play LISGYLL in 7th and 8th.

I know some LI girls are coming down to play against the Redshirts, but other than 2021 and younger, that club has fallen apart and won't provide any competition. Check the scores on the NPYGLL website for 2019 and 2020. 2019 was so bad last year they dropped down to the B division and 2020 lost 11 girls to another club and has gotten killed so far this year. They haven't even played a good team. Play M&D 2020 next weekend and that should be a total mismatch

There is a wide range of talent both within and among the town teams. Makes for a lot of lopsided games, especially when the leagues and/or town directors and coaches don't care enough to try to match talent - or even worse, intentionally sandbag to win games. Nassau County is much better at setting up divisions with equal talent - keeps scores, standings, etc. year to year. Suffolk doesn't seem to care.

Re: Girls 2021 Fall 2014/Summer 2015 Anonymous #109349 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A Answer to why burn the jersey: So they (Lady Rebels) won't beat the YJs anymore thus eliminating YJ competition. And in the process of the "deal" weakened the competition by taking players from the TG Black team. Masterful and effective business move by the YJ.

If you say yes - you are not being honest because my friends daughter is on the team and was on the team last year and said that they have some new girls that are very good - but they haven't played together enough to even know if they are better than last year. She said they may be slightly better but not enough to beat YJ who they had good games with last year. So unless you have watched them - which is highly unlikely - you don't know all the new girls that replaced the old ones. If you know one that might not be as good - that wouldn't be a good assumption for the entire new group.

Re: Girls 2021 Fall 2014/Summer 2015 Anonymous #110509 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A So much Speculation about Crossfire, Here's the real story and you can take it or leave it, I do not care. Crossfire Is made up of mostly BBP and ESM, there are some Top Gun girls and some Yellow Jacket girls ALSO some girls from both who do NOT play any type of travel lacrosse, We have a few other girls as well from one or two other towns who are good friends of some of the girls and do NOT play travel lacrosse at all. The ONLY reason we went to Maryland under "Yellow jackets" was because to register for the tournament each girl had to have a US Lacrosse number, since the Yellow Jacket girls have one already, we couldn't register them under a different club name. We couldn't figure out how to change that without screwing up the girls with US Lacrosse numbers, so Mark asked Carol Rose if we could use the YJ name to make it easier to register and she said yes. So saying girls were moved around or dispersed around to make room or stick it to anybody is COMPLETELY false. We all paid our own way, rented our own rooms, purchased our own uniforms. We play together when the girls are free from their respective club teams and when the non club players are free from dance and any other activities they are involved in. We do not go get anyone else when some girls are not available, we simply do not go. we Play two maybe Three tournaments a year, Mostly in fall and we did the Shamrock Shootout this year. We were asked to play against a Maryland Red shirt team coming up soon, the Maryland Red Shirt team is up to watch an NCAA game at Hofstra I think. We are trying to get it together. SO that's it, That is the Story of Crossfire. Spin it anyway you want to, create any drama you want to, Go ahead, But reading all the posts speculating every possible scenario was quite amusing though.

I don't know what you call it, but it was a total waste of everyone's time on Sunday. If you are going to bring a team of girls down here to play M&D, TLC and Redshirts, they should be able to play. M&D beat them 22-3 and Redshirts beat them 12-0. I know TLC beat them handily, but don't know the score. All three teams had league games early that morning and stuck around up to 4 hours to play in this game against what was promised to be a very skilled team. What a waste of a beautiful Sunday. I know there are quality players on LI, just a shame we didn't get to see them.

The 2020 lady rebel played in mid atlantic championship last year and beat the field, including redshirts, had a great game in the finals with MD black, and lost on a free position shot with about 2 seconds left. Sounds like this 2021 version should stay home.

Re: Girls 2021 Fall 2014/Summer 2015 Anonymous #110528 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A Let's just clarify that lady rebels is a continually shifting group of participants. The original group of girls that began as lady rebels play together on occasion but less often than not because of other commitments. Those originals were the ones that headed down to the mid Atlantic last year and had a great experience competing with the other Maryland teams. Saying Lady Rebels does not mean much more than just the pinnie they are wearing so expecting it to be a certain caliber, or not, is misguided.

Re: Girls 2021 Fall 2014/Summer 2015 Anonymous #110551 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A Was kind of thinking for something less competitive than TG or Elevate. Just a fun league with no trips but with girls who know how to play. But yes, we may jump the YJ ship at some point.

Need to clarify one thing, whatever team went down to MD this past weekend was not Crossfire. 95% of the girls were playing town ball Sunday. I think the original poster is mixing up this past weekends event with a fall 2014 tournament that Crossfire did attended. When the MD team comes to LI they will see Crossfire. It should be a good game.

TN What was the US lacrosse# issue you keep writing about? When you register a team you either input all the numbers or parents do it for the kids. Why would you need YJ to roster the team? Does not make sense. Why would CR jeopardize herself and potential lawsuit if one of those "non YJ" kids got hurt? Sounds fishy.

Very good team, I think someone posted that some of the players were rec players, if they have any rec players who don't play travel I would be shocked. Some girls are from the YJ 2nd team as well. Very good collection of talent, who is probably better than YJ Blue (though there is no way of telling as some of their best talent is from Yj blue).

You just lost any sense of credibility with your " probably better " comment stick to beating up on town teams. It also would be more accurate to say " all of their talent is from YJ blue". If you didn't have those kids you would be just like the rest of the teams.

Very good team, I think someone posted that some of the players were rec players, if they have any rec players who don't play travel I would be shocked. Some girls are from the YJ 2nd team as well. Very good collection of talent, who is probably better than YJ Blue (though there is no way of telling as some of their best talent is from Yj blue). On that note, we should consider re-naming the team to Cross-Eyed or Friendly Fire... Sorry, could not resist and just trying to lighten the mode. I suggest we move on and get YJ Blue focused on a last weekend in May trip to Maryland!!! Great Idea !

As bad as the 2021 TG team was last year, I doubt they had a lot to offer. I find it hard to believe that a team made of some YJ Blue and YJ second team and some other TG, Elevate or any of the other horrible 2021 teams could be close to the YJ Blue team.

Re: Girls 2021 Fall 2014/Summer 2015 Anonymous #110980 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A I will give you that 5-6 top players from the team below could replace the bottom 5-6 from the team above. It would merely be an exchange not really affecting strength of team. This is true if all teams, age groups, clubs and sports. Your numbers are wishfull thinking, but that's a small percent of people who would believe that, most people have a realistic grasp.

M&D 2021 has run roughshod over every team at this age in MD, and really did not find much competition over the summer/fall tournament season from teams outside of MD. Maybe there are just so many teams now that the talent is spread out. As the years go on I would assume they will migrate to the typical powers. For instance, Skywalkers 2021 is one of the worst teams I have seen at this age. I assume this will change. I know in MD there are good players at TLC, Hero's, Redshirts, MD United, Integrity, etc. There just aren't enough of them on one of those teams at this point to compete regularly with M&D.

Agree about skywalkers, stunned how team was, but this year is new, they could be the strongest team this summer for all we know.

But found out today the Redshirts used the 3 best players from their 2020 team against Crossfire, with one of those 3 scoring 6 times, so not bad for a thrown together team.

Re: Girls 2021 Fall 2014/Summer 2015 TheBackOfTheCage #112278 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A That Redshirts team is a mess. Don't get too excited about a win over a middle of the road MD team. Redshirts has one girl that you have to defend. The 2020 team is 0-6 this spring so not sure how much help those girls were.

Thanks to the red shirt club for coming up to LI to get some good and competitive lax games in. The spring Suffolk league is getting hard to stomach, this was a much needed shot in the arm.

Score was not indicative of how the game went. That same redshirts team lost 13-4 to TLC who M&D just beat 15-9. Last I checked, 12-8 isn't exactly squeaking by any way.

For a fake travel team you guys sure seem to get involved in a lot of controversy. Maybe they had some 2020 kids maybe they didn't , it was a scrimmage who cares enough about it to accuse a team of cheating.

They definitely did have 2020 girls playing on the 2021 team because the coach told us he did and we were ok with it! just pointing out that we competed against a true travel team with a throw together team. You must be a pleasure to live with! Get your own daughter up to speed and maybe she to can play for a real team one day, Loser!!!

Re: Girls 2021 Fall 2014/Summer 2015 TheBackOfTheCage #112986 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A If you're being honest about the crossfire game you should also mention that the red extended the game long enough for crossfire to tie it. I believe they played an extra 5 minutes or so. Redshirts were up by 3 or 4 at the actual end of the game. Funny how that got left out of the recap.

Re: Girls 2021 Fall 2014/Summer 2015 TheBackOfTheCage #112992 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A It's funny how every year all of the 5th & 6th grade parents come on here pounding their chest about meaningless games. In a couple of years you all will see that your teams win loss record means nothing to college coaches. If your program is strong and has a history of putting quality teams on the field coaches will come. I know of many "B" team players that are D1 committed. Relax and let your daughters enjoy their time playing this game. Too many parents take it too seriously. If your daughter is a player she will stand out.

Re: Girls 2021 Fall 2014/Summer 2015 TheBackOfTheCage #112997 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A The games aren't meaningless to the girls. There is quite a rivalry in MD even at the 6th grade level. Everyone is determined to beat M&D and work on things specifically to try to do so. I know that the M&D girls were quite upset about the one game they've lost. They played the team that beat them and probably played their best defensive game and held MD United to 3 goals. While I agree that parents shouldn't be on here beating their chests, don't say the games are meaningless. As you said, these girls are in 6th grade. They aren't thinking about and don't care about college coaches. So I disagree. Maybe come 8th grade and up, the games may be meaningless, but right now, the girls all want to win. They talk trash to their friends in school. My daughters friends from other clubs constantly tell her they are going to beat her this year, etc. it's good for them. After all, the game is supposed to be a competition, not a showcase for who can get a 3k scholarship.
