Empire 2025 team beat everyone except YJ A-I'd say they are a pretty good team! They don't get 100+ kids at tryouts like YJ.
100 kids at YJ tryouts for 2025? ...... in CR's dreams. It's certainly not the case. Empire may serve a purpose for some, but they suffer from being geographically undesirable for most Suffolk players. Only North shore, East End players are interested. There are not many big "Power House" lax towns out that way with deep youth programs, except maybe Mt. Sinai.......but those kids go play YJ, for obvious reasons
