[quote=Anonymous]Jesters beat YJ last time they played and TG / Jesters game three months ago was a close game so statements like that are just silly. In fact i honestly think the Jesters are arguably better but it is fair to say lets see what happens. Until they beat them then TG has the edge. YJ is completely overrated! Jesters played Grizzlies a heck of alot tougher then TG did at Lax for Cure losing 5-3 in fact the dummest rule in girls lacrosse cost them with three goals being taken off the board and not converting 8 meter shot. On top of that the grizzlies first goal was a fluke but yes - its all part of the game and no excuses. loss is a loss

The TG had to played and beat M&D black, Hero’s green, Monster purple and lost to the Grizzlies in pool play. Who did Jesters have to beat Dew Lax ? Please the path to the playoffs wasn’t close. Jesters wouldn’t have made the playoffs with TG schedule they barely got by Dew lax.
It is truly amazing that some people are still concerned with who beat who and which team is the best at this stage of the game. College coaches do not care who wins, they do not care what HS accolades a player receives, they don't care about HS stats, they do not care if the player made UA or AS, they care about how the player plays against top tier competition, they care about the players speed and athleticism, they care about the players toughness, they care about how the player reacts when things are not going the players way etc...
Players and parents will know where the player stands on September 1st.... The coaches at the best programs will recruit and make offers to the best players... I'm guessing there will be less than 25 players from Long Island who receive offers from Top 10 caliber programs.
Parents and players care. It's called team pride. TG doubled Jesters who looked lost the majority of the game. Yes, many will be recruited to great programs, but remember that they are still in HS for two more years, and this is what is important now!
Rising Junior year is about recruiting. Spots will fill up faster than you think, especially with current college players having an extra year and the transfer portal. It’s a very important summer for this age group. Proven college players transferring like never before will make it more difficult for HS players. Many Coaches will not commit as many HS players as they have in the past, the will hold some spots until June to see who hits the portal.
