Watched the bandits They actually play a bunch of kids in championship vs our boys they play 5/6 attackman and rotated two lines of midfield . They had only one player faceoff for both lines. Very talented play great team lacrosse. From our understanding it is them then behind them a ways is the express then a considerable drop off. Is that accurate these boys are all,so young all this will change and it is fun to watch the growth.
Bandits are A Badgers are B+ Outlaws, warriors, legacy, igloo, empire, hurricanes, manhasset, TLI, are B Express 2, legacy 2, empire 2, fl$, true blue, e3 are B-
The groupings are largely correct, but I think the grades need to change to accurately reflect how these teams compare to teams off of LI. The sole reason to provide a grade for a team is to ensure that they are placed in the correct bracket at tournaments. The teams listed as B belong in the A bracket at nearly every tournament out there. They are A teams, and to say they are not simply because they can't beat the Badgers is silly. The teams listed as B- would be in the B bracket. Bandits are really an AAA team, with Badgers AA. Problem is that there are very few AAA teams in the country, and not many more AA teams.
Look at it this way - if you had a tournament with your so-called B teams, and marketed it as such, any self-assessed B team off of LI would get absolutely demolished and be very very angry at the organizers.
