We shall see this weekend. I would expect they still are an A team, maybe not on par with their last years team which you could say was borderline AA, but probably still a top 5 PA program.

Are NXT and Team 11, that are in the 2023 Bracket, their top teams? Team 11 is solid, not sure. Brotherly Love there is no name next to their entry so assuming it isn't Zeus. Mesa had too many kids and cost too much. I think the Main Liners stopped drinking the Kool Aid and had an epiphany that they were getting taken to the cleaners by Nostrant and Company. 2,000+ and almost 30 kids on the team. Don't get better by warming the bench.

I believe it is NXT's "B" team and it's Poseidon, BL's "B" team. I use quotes because some clubs "B's" are better than others "A's", so it is their B in relation to their own A....Team 11 only has one team.

Per post above, BL Poseidon (B team) and NXT Silver (B team)

NXT had 1 team last year and they played in the B division of many of the tournaments they participated in. Without seeing Black, my guess is that silver and black are both B teams within the PA pool of teams

Strange mixture of teams at WCI. Surprised to see BL Poseidon lose to NXT's silver team and only beat Fusion by a goal. Mesa clearly too strong for the competition at this tournament. Good old Fall Lax.

Or Mesa should have never been playing in this tournament if they had any integrity. Perhaps losing a handful of their best players made them desperate. Give me a break you go from playing beating Igloo and Brotherly Love at Summer Slam to playing in West Chester Invitational? You Main Line types always have to live in your own little fantasy world. The kids you lost are significant no doubt but c'mon have some self respect.

30% of our team is new they will need time to gel, but based upon what I watched Brotherly Love Zeus will be smoking both Mesa and Team 11, both were big but underwhelming.

Agreed 3 games is fine for Fall doesn’t have to be a champ.

Thanks for the news flash, exactly my point, I am surprised they lost to NXT's B team. And I am sure NXT's B team is 100% new kids. Wonder if the better Poseidon kids moved on to either Zeus or to play on another teams A?

Several of our best kids were hurt and couldn't attend. The club director sent an email out to this effect and they added a couple of better kids from their 2024 to help. Also I do know that two of the best players from last years team which was definitely a good team and competed regularly with Poseidon were moved up to the AA Zeus Team. I am new to the club but a parent from last year filled me in. The team has talent but they aren't playing as a team from my view.

Not trying to be a PA homer but I think BL is too low in this ranking.

Problem with BL being ranked higher is that 1/2 of the 2023 team doesnt meet the birthday cutoff. Their better players are summer birthdays.

All the best teams have the same situation that is what makes them good. Freedom 2022 all their best players are shaving and a full year older than most that is the way it goes. If you think that is bad wait until you see the Maryland Club Teams. If you don't believe me check out that list again and tell me how many Maryland Teams you see listed.....interesting that a state that considers itself amongst the very elite in the game of lax places 1 team in the top 20?

That ranking system is totally based off the teams that pay to participate in the 'World Series of youth lacrosse' satellite events. If you want to find the REAL rankings you need to go by the NXT USLacrosse ranking system. It is the TRUE rankings.

I know this is a troll post but They are 2 different, imperfect rankings. The US lax rankings only rank teams playing in specific tournaments as the WSYL only ranks teams playing in one tournament. Neither take into account teams that are grade based and unwilling to change their teams to align with U based tournaments (although I don't see the NXT tournaments enforcing any age cutoffs.). So the team that's at the top of the US Lax rankings may very well have kids that aren't U13 based on their national championship age cutoff

This may be to much logic for the forum, hopefully heads don't explode!

Sons obviously missing kids two top mids and face. Before you say couple kids don't matter. You take 1 kid away from Nxt and they score 1 goal.

Sons looked bad. That's the reality. NXT was missing some kids as well. Not saying NXT is one of the top teams at this level but I am saying they played well and Sons played poorly.

Almost DN's entire defense plays locally with Freedom. Multiple middies and attackmen as well. My son is on the team and some have been involved since Freedom Red started last year and others joined the team at tryouts in August. We also added two kids from Sons as well.

To the Duke haters...for the post from before that "kids don't even know each others last names" this shows again that the kids do know each other and that a chunk of the team is from the philly area...

Are you saying everything I read on here isn’t true? It’s more like 10-12. Plus there are other local kids that don’t play at Freedom.
