What would this be interpreted as? Town is a perennial power but IP is private and gets to recruit. Shouldn't Iona win this with out any issue? Yes a scrimmage but thats a close score for what you would think is a bigger gap. Great result for Town. Quick Iona question, are they really playing 13 road games and 4 home games? 8 of the first 10 on the road? Are they redoing the field?

Not sure why having 5th year players matters. Maryland and UNC were two of the best programs long before the whole COVID 5th year eligibility thing came about. It is a level playing field for all but some of the Ivy's (some do not permit transfers, redshirts, 5th year etc..). As far as I know, all other programs can have 5th year players. The team that plays the best when it matters will win the National Championship. Not sure why anyone is concerned about 5th year players. Are there programs that can not have 5th year players on their roster?

I assume the poster is saying without the 5th year players it will be strictly based on recruiting. You can't just cherry pick top 5th players out of the portal, the coaches are going to actually have to develop their own players.

The coaches at the top programs bring in the best players. It doesn't matter if they recruit them out of HS or out of the portal. Unfortunately, this sport has become a haven for excuses. For many parents it's always something, always an excuse. The best players get recruited by just about every school but the large majority of them choose to go to the one of the best programs. If your definition of "level playing field" is that the talent be distributed evenly then you are not living in reality because that is not the way it works, there is not a Draft. Coaching + Talent = Results. Recruiting and Identifying talent is a huge part of coaching, get a bunch of the top players and you will have one of the top teams. All coaches can recruit players out of HS as well as out of the portal not sure what the hang up on 5th years is.

The original post is stating that if your on field players are 5th years (8 out out of the 12 players), they have a more advantage. MD is having a good season (starting 8 5th years)...UNC won the championship when they had 8 5th years on the field. UNC not playing well this year is "they are a young team"....how are they a "young team"? Their starters are all grade levels? It's a theory, it's not making excuses, it's not complaining, it's just a theory - you can not deny having that many 5th year starters is not an advantage - 5th years have more experience - that can not be denied

Nonsense.

Let me guess, you work in a profession or simply believe that a person should be compensated based on their tenure or experience rather than their ability, performance and results. Obviously, all things being equal the more experienced athlete will have an advantage. However, in reality all things are never equal.

Bottom line is it’s now just another tournament. The participation has decreased each year. It’s run by people who own a lacrosse club. Just like most other tourneys out there. The real WSYL died when Jake pulled the plug on it years ago.

- Both defenses and goalies were stellar.
- As a result, each possession was methodical and valued with care
- The game was chess not checkers
- Earlier this week, USA lacrosse ranked BBP #1 in the country and GC #14.
- Both teams will win counties and State finalists, at a minimum.
- Long Island is still THE hotbed.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Xoxo

#1 is a stretch! GC and St. Ants talent is better than BBP! I would argue that BBP coaching staff IS better and has been consistent for years. They make the difference and are MVP. The talent at St. Ants and GC is Better. SA just has not had consistent coaching to bring that talent to its peak performance for a few years now. New coach this year. Needs a little time. With consistent good coaching, no doubt St. Ants would be #1 nationally. They beat top teams at HS Nationals to win it.

BBP beat St Ants in a scrimmage just last week. A game is a game is a game. So relax. Unfortunate turnover with 2 minutes left, outside of that it was anyone game last night.


Yes bayport and SA scrimmaged played three periods, and had no refs and won by one goal. I would hardly call that a win.


It’s always funny to see St. Ants comments pop up when the post wasn’t about them.

Anyway good game as was mentioned. Anyone’s game. The winner won

Enough with the hold back whining. It didn’t make sense 2 years ago and now it totally doesn’t make sense with our boys less than 6 months away from competing with 17&18 year olds. Keep it together man.

The WSYL and HoCo debate is silly and they could easily coexist if the organizers cared to do so.

US Lacrosse set a June 1st age cut off. HoCo adopted it and the MD teams complied. Some were impacted more than others.

WSYL stuck to September 1st age cut off. Not sure why they didn’t follow US Lacrosse guidance, but they didn’t. Now you have a bunch of elite team who are following their governing body’s rules who are not eligible. Couple that with the overlap of schedules.

Maybe I’m over simplifying this, but it seems solvable if anyone cared to make it work.

Also, LI vs MD vs the rest of the world, just make everyone play in DE to make it equally painful for everyone.

Regardless, you lost and by more than one goal. Tbh No one cares, until you want to come on here and pound your chest right (after you lost to BBP) that you’re some superior LI team. If you’re so good you shouldn’t need more than 3 periods to beat BBP. So chill.

I wonder how the boy that got benched for the illegal player feels. Probably the polar opposite of how the kid who didn’t qualify feels. Great for team morale. There are other options, your kid doesn’t need to stick around on a team that doesn’t value him.

So 91 cheated. They just received permission to cheat the rest of the field. Ridiculous. The World Series has rules and they throw them out as soon as 91 asks. 91 should be embarrassed but some people are so blinded by the need to win at all costs that they lose the ability to feel embarrassed.

To be clear, written is consider libel and not slander and it is only libel if not true.

Please let us know what AAA or AA team your undersized son plays for

Actually sounds like a 91 parent. Only team he didn't denigrate.
Hawks, FCA and Crabs SHOULD dominate....they are loaded with Holdbacks. Take their holdbacks out of the equation and top AAA teams would compete, let's be real. I don't believe 91 has that many. Holdback daddy on the sideline we see you...your forehead says 2027 dad.
Here we go again with the Holdback whining… high school can’t get here soon enough with this group of parents. You’ll get laughed off you soap box if you keep it up when your kid is in 9th grade

you got that right. there are three kinds of players in elite middle school lacrosse - (1) holdbacks, (2) big, skilled, athletic on-age kids who don't blink playing against holdbacks, and (3) kids who were great in 5th and 6th grade, but haven't hit their growth spurt, whose Dads whine about holdbacks.

Holdbacks A.K.A. Cheaters who couldn’t hang with players their own age.

No doubt it is easy to say Rye a top program and Yorktown has a great defense, but to put the perennial top class A schools near the top of Sec1 this year is not just a joke but someone having little clue of current rosters and going off of history (regardless of their #1 player going down in Scarsdale for example). Top 3 Class B schools (Yorktown, Somers and Greeley) all beat the top 3 Class A schools this year imho. Goin to be fun to see how it unfolds though

With respect, you can’t say you don’t have skin in the game then make a blatantly false comment that Greely hasn’t had a coach that cares in a decade. You either have no clue what went on with the previous staff or you’re trying to paint a narrative for whatever reason. You don’t have entire teams of players fight the administration on two separate occasions to keep their coaches if they didn’t feel the coaches cared about them. Those guys had decades of experience took a middling program to places it hadn’t been in years prior.

That doesn’t take anything away from the current guys who I’m sure care and do a great job as well. But we don’t need to [Censored] on one coach to make the next one look good.

Pelham continuing its enigmatic ways from last year . After a lackluster game vs. John Jay the go goal for goal with Pleasantville until a 3-spot in the 3rd quarter by Pleasentville opened it up. Pelham looked like a different team in 2 days.

John Jay boatraced Briarcliff tonight. I don’t think they’ve lost a FO in 2 games. Briarcliff may have had 2 total offensive possessions in the 1st half. Running time by the 4th quarter. Jay is an early juggernaut. Saturday should be a fun one.

To be fair to 91 although I agree with most of your statement they didn’t have the most challenging bracket but that’s a whole different discussion. Even without the exception they would have probably finished with the same result.
