31's a dumpster fire waiting to implode

As well as their 33, 34, 35. Some people detest it but they are there to stay along with the top 3-4 others on the islands. Will always jockey for position. Some will have advantages later with out of state and reclass, but is that really LI talent or a testament to coaching?

Stop ripping on Valor Coach. My kids been on team for 3 years. Never seen him get into it with a ref ever before. They were playing a grade up. It was a physical game. Refs called nothing whole game. One of his best players got called for a penalty on a clean hit only bc their coach and their parents were yelling at ref and he got upset protecting his player. Personally I want a coach like that.

Didn’t their last coach get let go bc of yelling and acting
fool also ???

And for berating a player. Stay away.

Did Express O'Connell pick up new players since fall? Heard they might be a surprise top contender.

They brought down 31sikw their other age groups

That is one way to stunt a kids development. I can't imagine Express would do that at this young an age.

You think they care what age???

All these teams 91 express if their training was so good
B team kids would move up that
Never happens they just get kids from other programs

Express and 91 will be the top teams come the fall, it’s been this way forever, programs think they are the next great thing, they ultimately lose their better kids and fall short on depth. Legacy has a chance with their Yeti team and their history of great recruiting results, but the Rebels, MooseLax, Shore, Igloo, True Blue, LI Jesters, those programs are just buying time and trying to keep the ship sailing with the kids they got, will end up losing their AA players eventually. The best kids will end up at one of those 2 programs starting next year.

This fall no way express is even close to a top team
It will come eventually bc of the catholic school hookup
But unless your kid is a top 2-3 good luck
They will be replaced with holdbacks like they do every year

Igloo B team beat Express A team this past weekend. Long way to go.
