US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Top 3 by Grad Year...

For more than the last 18 months, someone keeps throwing TLI up here - what tournaments are they playing this year? Where did they beat Express and Igloo last year that would warrant them being this high on the list?

And is Smash actually playing in any 2022 brackets this year? If not, are we going to put them near the top of the 2021 rankings?

Many of the really good team regularly play up to challenge themselves. Smash plays up all the time (except maybe occasionally in MD) because they don't get challenged in their age bracket. I am not trying to brag about them but just stating a fact. TLI beat Igloo by a lot last year. It wasn't close. They may not play in a lot of tournaments but that is by their choice and does not mean they are not in the top 3 in this age group. They are.
