- Duke's reputation is terrible.

Philly continues to groom some great players - happy for the kids. The parents and club directors - not so much. It's just lacrosse, folks,
I have no strong WSYL feelings (good event, but a lot of money), but it would have been nice for some of these teams to combine and rep the Philly area. Tigers obv showed well at 13U, but would have been nice to have more from the area. A few clubss: Fusion, Rising Sons and Brotherly Love aren't currently fielding top-level competitive teams at these ages and some clubs are only legit at one of these ages (Team Ten strong 25s and B level 26s, PA RR strong 26s and B level 25s), but it seems like a couple more teams could have been created if people cared enough about WSYL.
