No Ships for Taz this spring. Once a bridesmaid,always a bridesmaid!!

Does anyone think it was a little fishy that Wolfpack and Taz tied their game to assure both made the championship bracket.

A lot of haters on this site. Amazing how you can rank teams and pull teams in and out of the top 5. Seems like a lot of WP haters on here yet the team finds ways to win. These are parents of lower level teams bashing on here or just parents who have nothing better to do with their time. If you watch WP\Taz or WP\Express WP\91MD these parents have no animosity towards each other and I see a lot of hand shaking and Great game comments from all sides. So stop the S#&% stirring and go work on your kids skills. Anyone of these teams can beat each other on any given day that's what makes this so great. WAKE UP!! if your son is good enough to be on any of these top 4 or 5 teams he is getting the best experience by going up against the best this grade has to offer...yet you sit here and act is if your ranking system matters. Note to any parent who has a son on these top teams, don't let these haters draw you into any animosity against these other top teams, there is a mutual respect between these teams and you see it when these boys walk off the field and are high fiving each other. Yes in the beginning of these teams internal jabs between parents were a problem but now its got to the point where you should realize this high competitiveness is the best thing that can happen to these select kids. You are watching some legit lacrosse and its inspiring. EMBRACE IT!

Lol. Yeah 20 12 year olds got together and decided to scam the system and have a tie so they can make a bracket. hahah I have now seen it all. Maybe your son and his team are just not that good. Dad is a B player in life and his son is now a B lacrosse player. You are a great role model. Go put your Polk High jersey back on and tell your family about the good ole' days.

Running their offense through a slow, undersized 5th grader ...what do you expect

They have some kids that are so obviously older its laughable. All teams have a few I guess, but when it turns into "give it to #3" its pathetic. Do what you have to do I guess.

Do you really think these teams conspired together to tie a game so they can both make the playoffs. They are the two top teams on the island. If one wins one week someone says they are the best if someone else wins the next week the other team stinks. If they tie the Fix was in. Any kid who is bigger is called a holdback. The Cowardly posting about kids and families is ridiculous. These are 12 year old BOYS not the NY Yankees.

These boys are all great players and nice kids. It’s the parents on threads like this who ruin it.

GET
A
LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First off, the kid is not slow. second. One of the smartest IQ's around. Would want him on my team if I had to pick. So Please, no one is buying stupid here. try again.

SO true.. You parents are missing the point of what of what this is all about. The Boys !!!! NOT YOU!!1 grow up and find something better to do.

How is prime time 24? Any northern teams any good? Eclipse? Express north?

The kid can be shut down when he plays in the 2025 Bracket. I've seen it happen in the past when the Geese make the call for reinforcements. We all know the kid is good, but at this point he needs to play on grade. The father is not doing right by his kid.

Hey, you do get around. Last week I saw you with a national team, this weekend it was upstate. More power to you! If you really want to grow the game, provide lessons to under privileged kids here on LI and NYC, better yet convince the owners of clubs you coach which your son plays on to sponsor some of under privileged kids here on LI or in NYC. Listen, the bottom line is you do it for one reason and one reason alone, "Yourself." People can see right through you...

the boy has great lacrosse IQ, without a doubt, but being small and younger, he cannot execute..plain and simple..He hung around a year too long IMO..should have played his age group last season, this season was basically a clock killer behind GLE

I have to say, when that team plays my sons team (a good team), I couldn’t tell you if he was even on the field for any of the games. Totally serious. If he is on the field, he is invisible. Does nothing. Against bad teams, maybe he does pretty well. I don’t know. My understanding is that grade-wise, he is playing up. But age-wise, he is not. Regardless, if he was my kid, I would have been playing him on grade for at least the past few years.

do the top teams at 2024 play to win or is there relatively equal playing time in the close games?

Rumors flying pat leaving outlaws. Can anyone confirm?

Is outlaws folding or just moving ppl around?

I am on the team and the kid MORE then holds his own. Great player definitely helps out team. Move on

Those are rumors. I can tell you for a fact, he is not leaving the Outlaws and the Outlaws are not folding. The Rebels are forming AA level teams only from what we have been told and the Outlaws will continue having A and B level teams.

PB is going undercover with his son at Rebels. Outlaws reputation under PB was horrible. The Outlaws will now be a class act going forward.

PB is slowly moving away. Now works for Blatant. Still owns part of the Outlaws but no longer running organization.

for the top 2024 teams it has been play to win and at all costs - there is no equal playing time. It has been this way since they were in 2nd-3rd grade, especially taz and wp

Not sure where you are getting this information from but I got it directly from the source himself. PB works for Blatant as a paid employee not as a business partner and he is not in anyway affiliated with the Rebels. Why would he leave an organization that has sustained over a dozen teams for over a decade that he is the partial owner of and go to this new program that you do not know how many teams they will get considering this industry and especially on LI with how difficult it is to start and build a new program so why would he leave. Also, every think MB is looking to prosper himself...he just had to cancel their individual summer recruiting showcase so that's 40-50k out the door so he is looking to grow himself with no partner.

Exactly!!! They should have started it at the younger levels and built up. Otherwise it will be Outlaws 2.0. Doesn’t make any sense for kids in 2024 and older to start with a new program.
