SW and WM in same division as SE, who won the championship against Express A. Why was an A Express team in that division?

You are an idiot! Town teams normally play in B bracket because A has select teams where most kids are committed and recruited onto those teams. Would not be fair. Stop being so jealous!

Syosset always plays in highest division. Guess they care more about challenging their players then losing a game in a summer tournament. They didn't seem afraid of travel teams in their AA bracket.

It's summer lacrosse u moron. They played great teams in very competitive games with the object being to improve as a team . Put themselves in highest bracket and won some and lost some. Guess they could have embarrassed themselves by going into lower bracket to blow out B teams and not accomplished anything as a team . They're high school players you tool so don't think they care about the tshirt. I assume you're walking around the house in your sons right now. Congrats

Answer the question, what were the scores of their games? Seems like they would have been more competitive in B. They would have a tough time beating the Stowns or WM. Like I said, jealous!

The top Express teams did not play in Laxfest. They were all in Philly for Dukes Invitational.

Town teams traditionally play in a lower division than travel. A team like Stown has two HSs so the talent is somewhat diluted. They played where they belong. Why so concerned about it?

Many LI teams at hotbeds. This has turned into a low level tournament. No quality coaches or competition. Sad for LI lax to be at this type of low level event!

OK, so is it just me, or is this summer's recruiting circuit driving everyone nuts. Kids are being pulled in too many different directions. Kids playing on multiple travel teams. Defecting onto national teams, One showcase after another. We don't really get to see how kids stack up against the best of their own age group because there are always kids missing playing where they think the grass is greener. All these events bill themselves as invite only, best of the best. I don't see that. I see watered down lax. Anyone else?

It is not just you, I was at a rising freshman tourney and everybody said it was a waste of time because there were no D1 coaches on the sidelines, I kept thinking how silly that was, they are 14 and playing lacrosse with their friends on a beautiful day, that really should be good enough, but if Petro is not at a 14 year old lacrosse game does it really matter?

That's funny my son's coaches are very interested in the rankings. Seems the kids higher on the list getting the big scholarship offers. If that means nothing to you it would be weird

Nope, more like 30k for a 50k+ top school. That's what the top kids are getting, don't fool yourself. FACT

Most kids are committed BEFORE rankings even come out. So ranking have nothing to do with an offer. And if your college coach is interested in rankings than there is a good chance coach needs your kid ranked to keep his job with the school.

There is a reason why committed kids are ranked the best, did you ever think that that is the reason they are committed? statistically kids ranked in top 20 by IL are the best performers in there HS/club and college teams, just sayin! Sounds like somebody's kid did not make the cut.
Some observations:

The kids listed are for the most part total studs!

Most are from prep schools, many holdbacks.

LI not that well represented, although we do have a handful of top 20.

They are mostly committed to the best schools for a reason.

Whats more interesting is the movement from year-to-year. Did a kid move up or down the list and by how much? A couple of spots not a big deal. 15 or more spots and its very telling both ways.

--Saw the SWR/WM team at Farmingdale yesterday, looked like they have some
good players & were having fun playing, nice to see.

Bad move not playing for your own HS team in the fall.
But at least they are playing so please tell them to:

work hard and average can become average
keep a positive attitude
be coachable
be unselfish

Keep a positive enironment at home.

Thanks, --"

---- The above was pulled from the SWR thread. Is there a combo SWR / Ward Melville Team out there? If yes is it part of the Patriot Elite or does it have something to do with Empire? or neither?
