How can you put Rush and Turtles ahead of the Rebels???
Rebels 2nd team can beat both of them!

Yes if I was a B team parent and an A kid played instead of mine that would not sit well with me

I think we can all agree that nobody likes the Rebels

Then what does that make igloo

How does Madlax compare to 91 venom and 2 way?

Why aren’t Rush and Venom in same bracket? Gc rams have no business in that bracket. Dragons either. Does 91 run this tournament too?

Enough with “2nd team talk”. The A players all were there this weekend, on the field

it'll probably a rush vs venom final

Ya totally agree. How dare the 10/11 year olds lose to a good team? As a matter of fact i truly feel all players on any team other than ranked in the top 3 by You should really explore other sports. I mean these kids really think they have chance in life if they cant play on a top team in 5th grade. Its all fun to rank teams but to complain about who plays on and A or B team and then trash 10 year olds is pathetic and you need to get a life.

Are there 2 different tournaments this weekend?

Seems we have an angry little Rebel... Agree the Turtles are not a top team now but come on...

Because the 2 best teams should meet in the finals

Exactly

Li lax fest looks like a good tournament, lots of different teams

Yes but I’m sure we will all hear soon how the teams aren’t great, 91 plays easy teams, etc etc
There are over 20 teams and should be fun competition. Every tournament doesn’t have to be to the death

How were the face offs taken? SNG or knee down ??

Yes Venom vs GC 2028 should be an awesome game.

in the big picture this stuff doesn't matter. kids are playing and having fun. its the parents that cause this to get out of control. rankings doesn't matter, parents want competitive games

Does Venom still have a 2024 team?

They are playing in MD next week then NLF. I think they will be ok

Unofficial (of course) 2028 rankings from the MD board.

Madlax rolled everyone at NAL. For the record, Madlax had been beat 3 times by the Hawks this year, last one soundly in the HOCO league championship.


1. Hawks
2. Team 91 Venom
3. Madlax
4. Legacy
5. Express North
6. BBL
7. FCA
8. Next Level
9. True Annapolis
10. Freedom


Have fun!

Sometimes coaches are the worst.

Is this express north team in the tristar tournament?

Those rankings are extremely flawed. 2 Way is the best team in the Northeast. You may have it right south of Jersey, but not North. BBL should not be in the conversation, ditto for Express North.

Yeah playing in 91 run tournaments.

2 way not on the list shows how biased towards Maryland that list is. 6/10 from the Maryland area.. 2 from Long Island, right now on Long Island Venom has beat everyone they’ve faced, but haven’t seen much, Legacy showed well at NAL, after the recent results the other teams that seem to have the chance to prove they are at the top level are express, Mooselax, Rebels and Rush. Igloo and Turtles (beat Igloo bad) seem just below with a chance to show well with no other team really close after them.

You have to wonder if it will fair well for 91 in the end (NLF championship) by being careful with what they join and who they play and not going into the most competitive tournaments like other teams, looking for tough competition at every tournament. For example look at their current schedule, they play Mountain Valley (b), forest hill (?), gc (strong town team) and ct wolves (maybe the 4th best ct team). Chances are their toughest game will be a town team

I’d say 91 was tested at the blatant tournament, beating the Thunder first game and then beating Legacy right after, and shutting down moose in the finals. Plus going to Maryland next weekend will certainly help. What’s with that coaches comment?

Too bad tri star fell on the same weekend as lax fest

looks like tri star was set up to have 2way vs legacy in the finals

Tristar looks like a very tough AA bracket, kudos to whoever wins it, my assumption is the final four will be legacy, express north, 2 way and BBL

Has 2way and venom played this season?

Yea venom lost

i think they had a playdate last summer/fall

Venom beat them the last tournament they were in together

The last time they played 91 dad you guys lost

So fair to say it’s btwn those two for top 2028 team in the are?

i remember seeing some 2027's playing in that playdate for 2way

whenever venom or 2way wins people claim 2027’s played. Sour grapes. We could have won but....

We will know come this weekend if they belong
