U13 Team Long Island White Beat a very Good 2017 CNY Roadhawks
last night. Team Long looks Strong. Playing up as usual in the Maverick Shhotout 9A Division . Will be tough

True, same kids that play with them ALL THE TIME. Which has been stated on here about 100,000 times. Can't get nuttin by u!

the regergitation of the issue of (of some Terps with Terps black helmets, playing with their team, the Terps ) on this thread is like watching the movie Groundhog Day. you people Are like a dog with a bone; give it a rest.

why don't you focus on something more important like Obama stripping us of all of our constitutional rights, by in essence shredding the Bill. of Rights through all of his executive orders. Now there is something you can sink your teeth into. surely you can come up with another 139 pages of commentary on that.

Talk about beating a dead horse. Nobody has bashed the Turtles for a least 2 pages. Maybe we can bash the Turtles on odd days & bash Terps Black on even days, to make it fair! God forbid we go one day without trashing one team or another.

Here is a positive comment. 3v played 91 orange and nearly stole one losing only 6-4. They are a tough bunch of kids who play hard every day.

I really don't think anyone cares if terp black players play on the terp team. The question really is ... Why play "b" bracket in tournaments. Those 8 terp black players help make you a very competitive team ... Why not challenge your team and play "A" ? Clearly the answer is its all about winning ! Wake up terp parents ... This approach isn't helping your kids become better players.

Terps Black are playing Laxachusetts twice at FOD in Sunday. Should be a good set of games.

Are people really this dense. Is it possible that these are Terp team players, that are actually playing up on the Terps Black team in order to improve their game? No, that can't be.

Be careful what you ask for. If they do "wake up" as you suggest and leave Express it may be to come to the team you play for and it may be your kids spot they take.

OK, let's do this. Are you folks going to apply some nonsense exuses as to why the Express played their best Black players in a "B" group? How much more can you people tolerate? You are teaching your kids how to be used like toilet paper. Drop out of the "A" bracket, and beef the "B" team up with some fantastic players. When do you suckers walk away? You are NOT going to benefit, although you all THINK, and have been TOLD that you will.Man, kids who have played in A divisions for YEARS. C'mon, let's do this.....

There were no AA type players from Terps Black at the Laxfest today, just a few guys who needed some extra work and playing time. Terps Black played two games in the morning against Laxachusetts .

Wow that's interesting a bunch of feels black kids that were at laxfest will be down in md next week for brine

Is that sarcasm? Because those players are all starters from that express black team, I doubt "extra work" is an issue.

Understand patriots beat chargers in finals with NE Storm in third. Is this correct? Not too far off my guesses. Would like to know details. How did the LI teams do? Would like to know scores

Was at summer slam. Both Bbl and fever were tough competitors with big middies that dominated the midfield. Don't know how the finals ended though. If anyone knows pls tell.

That is true. But for some reason where our boys play clearly are other peoples business. None of the impact players played in laxfest. The ones that played do not play when the going gets tough. Doesn't matter how many times this is stated so just goes to show the IQ of some of these parents that are making a fuss.

Perfect post! I agree and really wonder about the intelligence of some of these posters!!

How'd they do?

Thank you for your voice of truth!

Really? I'm not going to name names of 14 year olds on here but, please don't lie about it. They are DEFINITELY some of the better Black players playing in a B division! The whole thing is just WRONG for kids on all sides of the situation!

So the black team SHOULD play B division? I'm confused. You nearly force me to actually use names. You are very smart for coaxing this. Should several players from the prior few year's 2017 Orange team play in B? How bout the team which was above them in this organization? I'll tell you what would garnish respect from people; if somebody admitted that this is sleazy behavior.....cheating. Go to another club, folks. You're goin down with the ship!

1 of the best if not the best terms black long pole played in the lax fest I seen him playing!

Get a life! How long are you going to keep this up? You are clearly angry at the Express for something? There is a clear personnel axe to grind here. You keep saying the same thing over and over. Why are you so worried what the Express does? Worry about your own team. I am sure there are many issues there. There are some issues at every organization. Everyone has to make a choice and pick what is best for them and their kids. It sounds like you think you know better than the people on the Terps/ Terps Black? That sounds a little crazy don’t you think? Were you part of the Terps/Terps Black before? If you think you know better, so be it but we are all tired of hearing it. Pages and pages of this crap.

"I seen him".... WOW. You sure, maybe you saweded him??? lol.

It really doesn't matter who Terps bring down to Baltimore in 2 weekends at the Crabs tourney..they will get beat by the Crabs, Breakers, FCA or VLC..doesn't matter who they bring! In the end the Turtles are the Express AA team, anything else is a B or C team.
-not a Long Island parent

I see the Express " Kool-Aid " is extra strong this year. Its not about hating Express , its about common decency & fair play for 13 & 14 year olds. If the "terps" enter a "B" division for a tournament they should not bring "A" level players with them to secure a win. How about a novel idea - invite the top players from "Piranhas" to play up with the "terps" in the "B" division. I'm sure the parents of the better "piranha" players would really appreciate such an invite.

does anyone really care that the "Terps Purple" or whatever theyre calling themselves won the "B" bracket......

Now back to the real story of the weekend:

91 Orange went 6-0, beat the Jesters in the semifinals and Laxachussetts in the finals to win the "A" bracket

3 out of the 4 teams in the "A" playoffs were Long Island clubs..

Great showing by the "A" Long Island teams this weekend

Truth be told, their were 3 players with long poles in their hands from TERPS BLACK played yesterday for the regular Terp team, all 3 are 1st line defensive/impact players from TERPS BLACK that are NOT on regular Terps. Ive witnessed regular Terps play three times in past few weeks, these players were NOT there until yesterday. Its wrong on many levels, Express been doing this for years.

91?? LOL. Great job at winning the tournament you CONTROL!! You bracketed it to avoid Gladiators (toughest team in the tournament with your 91 team).

They still had to win the games they played like everyone else. Gladiators lost in the semifinals to Laxachussetts. Im not a 91 parent and I get your point about the way they bracketed themselves, but at the end of the day they had to play and win the games.

haha, your a liar! You wouldn't happen to be "that" turtle parent would you???

LMAO, thats funny!

I agree that 91 had to win games to be crown champions yesterday in their tournament and i know 91 is a really good team! But, you can't avoid the strong tournaments if you are suppose to be a "elite team".

Hand picked opponents by the coach, not the kids fault at all! Is 91 in the Crab tournament in early July?? I heard the list of teams is TOPS in the Nation in 2017!

Amazing! You all are such fools arguing over whihc team whihc and who avoided whom. These boys are 143/14 years old (at least most of the kids from LI are). Sometimes kids play well and sometimes they won;t. Laxachusetts made it to the final, but tied (and nearly lost to fl$. Gladiators thumped fl$. 91 beat Laxachuseets. . In each of these games you saw some good play and some poor play, but mostly you saw good competition. And that's what this should be about and not about whihc team beat which, because on any given day and any given game one of these teams can beat the other or tie the other.

ON saturday the "true" express terps C team played their 2 games.Than on sunday express terps "black" B team played. All in the b division.I guess express terps "black" B team did not want to play in the 8 th grade "A" division against team 91 orange ,gladiators , jesters and laxachussetts.so, express terps "black" B team need their own tournamnet at " field of dreams "............

CLASSIC

Not entirely true because I watched a Terps game on saturday morning that had the best Terps Black long playing in it.

91 is not in the Crab tourney...this is the best around...Crabs very selective about who comes...always great competition..no easy brackets, no easy way to the championship. Would like to see FCA included in the lineup..anyone coming down, try to schedule a game against FCA, think Express is playing them Fri night
