Leaving aside the heat, the Young Guns tournament was very well done, and the competition was excellent.

Bottom line in U-15 is that after SAT pool play the A bracket was won by the Crabs at 3-0 and the B bracket was won by the Greene Turtle at 3-0. They were the only two undefeated teams from pool play. The second place team in the Crabs bracket was the West Coast Starz, which the Crabs beat about 10-5. The second place team in the Turtle bracket was Long Island Express, which the Turtle beat 6-1.

Sunday was a new day. In the semis, the Starz beat the Turtle in OT 5-4. Well-played by both teams. Crabs defeated the Express. That set up rematches of the day before's games and both the Starz and Express avenged the prior day's losses. Starz won the tournament, defeating the Crabs, and the Express took the Turtle to OT again and avenged the prior day's loss as well, 3-2.

Really excellent lacrosse being played out there, and the Crabs were very gracious and hospitable hosts.
