I dont know this trutle team you are talking about but the Turtles had nothing to do with the co-champion call (FACT and DEAL WITH IT ALREADY). The Turtles do not need to be anything but the best in their age group. They played real AA this past weekend unless you consider the U-13 Crabs, Next Level and Green Turtles sub par. Go away please none of your comments bring value to this forum!

The reason why Turtles didn't play 2016 Orange was there was only downside for Orange. Orange would be expected to win vs a younger team. It would be [lacrosse]-hum to win and a huge black eye to lose. Orange was ducking the Turtles. Now lets get back to 2015.

If all they need to do is be the best in their age group then why do so many Turtle parents think their kids should leapfrog everybody and be starters on JV (or varsity) next year? Relax!

Once again, toxic text...why are you bringing up JV or HS lax when someone responds to your rant about kids falling down and crying? How a parent manages his/her kid individually is not a reflection of how a team functions as a unit. In the end it is finding whats best for your kid. If some of the Turtle kids are in weak school brackets and need the challenge so be it. Its up to the AD and school coaches, not an opinion by a parent. This is an old argument and does not need to go beyond parent, coach and child. Enjoy the rest of the summer tourneys.

Trust me, 2016 Orange was ready to go when the call came to declare co-champions. They drive all over the east coat to play the best teams and you think they're scared of the turtles? 2016 Orange was the loser in the deal. No one wants to be a co-champion with a younger team.

From the turtles website:

"Looking for a game with the Turtles? Use the contact link to email us anytime! We don't duck anyone."

You need to add the following...except for LI Express 2016 Orange.

"Boys 2015 Fall 2011/Spring 2012" -

this is a 2015 thread, please only bash 2015 teams on this thread - and try to keep the irrelevant bashing a little more current - this was three weeks ago

express orange is playing in hofstra in the jv bracket this gives them bashing rites

Did you contact them for a game or are you just an anonymous clown fish parent?

We beat them twice and our kids were salivating watching the turtles play the outlaws. Joe d could not run any faster to call the game off. Orange wanted to beat them for the last time but the turtles were tired.

From their website, it looks like they are waiting for you to call...did you?
