Not true. There may have been an instructional scrimmage with coaches on the field but there was no game or refs.

Why try to incite folks to attack the Turtles? They ARE the tops! Hopefully, people will attack the childishly stupid logic applied to this ridiculous thread, and its "I can beat you up, if I can take HIM, and HE beat YOU up LAST YEAR" reasoning. It is not even entertaining. Devoid of logical reasoning. Even if some of the stats used could be applied, how do we factor the "on any given Sunday" effect, or the "ever changing rosters" belonging to some of the clubs mentioned? Play hard and enjoy

Outlaws Black is beyond overrated in the Kings Point League, GC and BBL abosolutly destroyed them i don't understand why so much hype goes to this Outlaws team. The're not that good

True Blue beat every team on the list that they played.
They did not play gladiators or turtles

they are playing this weekend on LI

lol, ok.

I still think 3 Village is solid at 8 or 9. They play hard team defense and have a good middie.

Thinking about the town tournaments over the years for this age group , syosset, West Islip , Sayville have all beaten 3 village. Smithtown also as a town team is very strong for this age.

This may be true, but it sounds a tad fetched. A little sour-grapes ish.

Strength of schedule???? You probably keep your kids stats too Terp dad and wanna be turtle dad. Lets keep this simple...You are an idiot.

3 Village just went 1-4 in the fl$ tournament. They shouldn't even be in this conversation....

Can someone (preferably a LI Express parent) clarify the difference between Terps and Terps Black? Where do the extra players come from?

I don't understand how strength of schedule factors into this ranking. Most of these teams have played each other enough to provide an implied ranking. How one team played against a team that no one else has played really doesn't matter.

No, not far-fetched, just a fact. My son plays on fl$ 2015. It's an equal-play philosophy. It can definitely be painful to watch at times given the talent on the bench but in the end it seems to work out. Given the angry emotions that wins and losses seem to bring out in parents on this blog, maybe fl$ is doing the right thing in a sport gone mad.

Ok 3 Village Dad did you see GC and fl$ destroy your sons team over the weekend and 3 Village finished 1-4 over the weekend. What point are you trying to make if you have nothing to back it up with

There is no "understanding" the ranking. Its ridiculous! It is one mans opinion based on the fall schedule. Terps Black lost to TB once & then beat them once in a tournamnet held in March. They have not played Gladiators, (oh wait, some of them did while playing on another Terps team but, lost, so that doesnt matter) they have not played 91, nor Outlaws but, daddy is still stamping his feet & saying Terps Black is #2 on LI! The whole thing is a joke. Let the summer play out & even then, it does not even matter. These boys have tremendous talent & they all respect eachother. The parents are crazy!!!

My son plays for the 2017 Terps. When we play our games there are 6-8 Terps Black team players that also play with us. None of the player on my sons Terps team play with the Terps black team. The 2 teams don't play in the same tournaments or even on the same weekend so that the strongest players can play on both teams. I don't agree with it and will not have my son play with the express next year but after 5 years of being a part of the express I know that the rosters are very fluid.

If you are a terp parent you would know that the strongest players from the black team were not put on regular terps team roster nor will ever play for both teams. These kids are the impact players on tht team. Those on both rosters do not get a ton of playing time for the most part and playing on regular terps gives them more opportunity for playing time. .

Correct.

Terps Black played Gladiators twice in OBLL - 1 win, 1 loss. Terps lost to the Gladiators in the Lax Splash final.

Pretty sure terps black played their first games together this past weekend. Anything prior to that, including any spring games, was optional. Those that also played hs ball had to put that first and couldn't commit to travel. So I'm not understanding where or how these rankings can be justified. That being said, the blacks had some tough competition last weekend and look forward to the challenge of upping their game.
