Where’d that take place?

FYI Express is doing the same thing this year. How many true 2025 players do the have? 3 or 4[/quote]

Nice try. Wrong[/quote]

So no holdbacks on 2026 Express............???[/quote]

None. Zero.[/quote]

Many holdbacks and a double holdback pole.[/quote]

Many? That is another lie, 3 holdbacks, no double[/quote]

Lots of different answers

Please. That isnt your concern.

Both teams have holdbacks.
Crabs won.
Try again in the Summer.

Our Crabs wouldnt complained if we lost about your double holdback that wasnt there.

Do tell.

Met the attackman they flew up from Florida for the day on the bus ride back to the airport. Counted seven miscellaneous helmets playing for the Crabs. Nothing legitimate about them playing on age. Lots of holdbacks and guest players. It’s amazing what these coaches will do to win an 8th grade lacrosse game.

There will always be cheaters in life. It will always catch up with them in the end, in one way or another.

There are no double holdbacks on LIE. It was a great game this weekend against great players on both sides.

LIE 2026 proved once again that they are the most skilled on age team in the nation. They lost by a goal to a mostly 2025 crabs team. Had they played against players their age, Crabs 2027 which is mostly made up of 8th graders, it would have been an embarrassment. The system is broken.

Get over it and move on. When you beat the Hawks a few weeks ago you didn't want to hear anything about all of their injuries and/or missing players. Now you lose to the Crabs and it's holdback and guest player whining. We'll see you again in the spring.

What about the Express holdbacks? And stop with the most skilled team Bro. They have the best player at the most important position. Minus him, they are with the rest of the pack.

Based on recent posts, it seems like Express has holdbacks of their own.

This is an idiotic statement. High school is high school. The rules for high school are 9th through 12th grade. Only the very top 9th graders will make a varsity roster. Club is different. You are theoretically collecting the best talent across an age group to compete. How about we take a group of high school seniors (2021) and put together the top talent in the region and go compete against another regions top freshman talent (2025). Are you really saying no difference? You cannot be that dense. I will give you once they hit junior year, the difference shrinks between juniors and seniors. But freshman vs. seniors, please. How about you quit cheating and just field an age appropriate team and see where the cards fall.

and double holdbacks
