Age matters but the rules do favor maryland. We played the crabs in the fall. The format u15 no 9th graders birthdate 1996. Our express orange players are all 1997 the rules state you can be 1996 as a u15 player and in new [lacrosse] that is almost impossible. NY 1996 players are 9th graders. Listen the games at this age will be fun to watch. The crabs do have great players and great coaching. We want to see them more. I think the game at this level will only motivate the long island teams.
