US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Boys 2025-10th Grade Fall 2022/Summer 2023

Who came out on top?

It was a playday and what difference does it make who wins, All three teams had a good level of talent amongst them. High school games at this level can have different outcomes day to day. The point is you don’t need to be on an A team and not playing. 2nd teams/B teams at this grade are vastly different vs when they are younger.

I'd say it was a beautiful day to watch a few good games of lacrosse. All teams displayed skill and was a good warmup for the Fall tourneys. Good luck to all teams. AA, A, B, C , DD, X,Y,Z....

Here we go with the B team conversation again

Said by the probably A team parent whose son is the 25th choice on the team. This forum is about 2025 lacrosse. Not just the kids that play for 91 and Express AAA teams.

Yeah, there is more 2nd teams and B teams than 3 or 4 AA on Long Island.

Correction: 91 and Express are AAAA (Space Force)

So besides those 60 kids, where do the others play?

What does that even mean? AAAA Space force

Where ever they want. And it’s more like 35 play and 25 watch. Next summer these top teams will be showcasing their top talent and leaving them on the field. AA, A, B, yeah okay…it is all about being on the field, nothing else matters now.

Agreed! It's was good lacrosse to watch. Most of these kids are late bloomers and will make an impact on their varsity team and beyond.

Who cares AA, A, B or DDD, If you want t0 play at the next level go to Legacy. TZ put 19 players in top schools, The game has surpassed Express coaching and 91 only showcases 8 to 10 kids a year..

That is their only elite team. They had to merge at this grade….not sure how they really got better. Think they got caught chasing the AA rainbow

Great tournament at cantique yesterday. Wish we had more of these on LI.

Who was playing?

Couldn’t agree more. 25’s were; Laxchussetts, Eclipse, Sweetlax, Legacy, Primetime, Mad dog national. BBL, DCE, Igloo, Edge and Shock. No playoffs or Shock would have won.

Funny Shock dad pretty sure you lost to BBL who also lost to another team

Shock up 6-1 at half Vs BBL. Lost 8-7. Great Choke job. Better bring in more out of state players….

Glad y
So glad you were watching. Groupie.

As usual they played everyone and most importantly the College coaches saw the boys, for good and bad.

With all due respect the list of All Long Island players is most definitely Suspect. I will admit there are many that do belong there without a doubt BUT there are a handful that make you scratch your head.. If the list was correct a team or 2 would certainly be a lot better then they are.. #whodoyouknow

Same as the awards here.advertisers get first shot . Rest of the kids are legit but will never play. They had to pay $200+ to take those photos and play in 1 game this week. Anybody tjsy cancelled were promised they could play again in June. Same guys that charged $600 to play in the Regional games and told the kids it’s the only way to get considered for future events. They didn’t even show their faces in Albany. Lesson learned

When half the roster of a team that hasn't won a thing make the team you know it's politics as usual.

"a team that hasn't won a thing" LOL. Newsflash: those t-shirts "your team won" in 5-8th grade mean less now than they did at the time, and that's saying something, because they meant nothing back then. Plenty of kids from teams that haven't "won a thing" will be playing D1 lacrosse. #sourgrapes

yes and no,,,,,usually the kids who are on the best ranked teams are leading d1,,,,winner win,,,,simple.,,,if you havent won anything and arent winning there is not much waiting,,,

Oh no, Are we sensing another insecure response from daddy coaches… you are correct it’s not about winning it’s about playing the game well. Although I don’t recall any names being mentioned someone has a complex apparently hahah..

Absolutely correct....these so called " all long island " liata are made up from lilj otherwise known as failed flg owners who can't field competitive boys teams because they're a mess so they have gone to plan B which is to crey these lists and horrible " college bound " clinics/showcases for kids as young as 2028 which are also a disaster and mean nothing . Word if advice , if you see something that involves lilj especially for boys just move right along because it's a meaningless [Censored] by a failed attempt at being relevant

Well, the good news is the parents can continue to write checks and have some good Holiday party bragging sessions. They can show off that $200 picture for their "friends". And then their kid can get a job in 4 years and its all a distant memory. Cant blame the kids though.

Agreed, anything with the "lilj" name on it is a sad joke , and the parents are even sadder for paying for this stuff. Really sad

Sad? Wait, they dont have status and prestige because of it? I thought that is what really mattered? The growth, improvement and love of the game were all secondary, No?

Juniors Open will be a giant flop.

I couldn't agree more. That is why the "All LI Games" team is nonsense. All LI as decided by whom?...the club directors/advertisers whose logos appear at the top of the page. If you think this represents the best of LI you obviously haven't been paying attention. Congratulation to all who made it now keep those checks coming.

12 players from 91, 16 from express, 9 igloo, 5 legacy, 4 S2S, 4 regulators rest other. What program is not represented that you think should be? Players must be from and play on Long Island. Could there be additional from the top two who didn’t make it, probably. It’s a matter of opinion,that of LILJ. Everyone’s got one. No reason to get all worked up if your kid isn’t on it. Congrats to the players who are. Time to move on.

The FLG folding of the boys program was so surprising. But Epic Jokers and 24 also folded.

Great line up of of a select groups of teams and coaches for 24s and 25s at the Autumn 8 on Saturday at Cantiague. I really prefer smaller events with a handful of teams vs the chaos of these multi team events. I think Igloo has the correct construct for recruiting events. These massive 20-40 team events are too much for coaches to evaluate properly in my opinion.

I agree! Such a great tournament with selected teams. Lots of talented players!

What teams are playing at Cantiague?

Mostly b teams, all the real A teams will be at NLF

That's not true at all. Mostly B teams?? MOSTLY AA teams. Look who attended!
