New Jersey had a full football season unlike most surrounding states. Our team is loaded with football players and hockey players. We had one tourney switch the date on us which created a conflict and then played in one midweek tournament over Veterans Day but played the 2025 bracket. Been grinding every week since August just haven’t had many 2026 games.
Towermen are a good team. But how long will parents put up with being invisible on the tourney scene? Intrinsic problem of being part of a one-off team and not a club. Moreover, what is the plan for the towermen once they get to recruiting age? Are they going to be getting the best advise and support humanly possible to pursue the next level? Hopefully they will, but my guess is the bigger clubs are going to cherry pick the best players out of there with promises of college connections and D1 scholarships well before.
In a side note...using the term "Grinding" to describe youth lacrosse seems like something that would go down on the Maryland board. Let's not turn toxic like those clowns.
