Express won both 2019 divisions. I think express beat Esm in East division and Express Westchester beat Team91-Stampede in the East division.
The two express teams were switching players back and forth between the two teams. That is unsportsmanlike behavior. Express should not have even been playing in the b division at all. Anything for a tee shirt!
Westchester did not have any Express players for any of the games.

So express north won 2019 so called b. was that the same team that beat wolverines last week. Then the b 2019 won the so called a bracket. Looks like 91 and express will have 3 good teams each.
If you saw Express North / Westchester, you might wonder why they were in this tourney at all, let alone this A/B debate.

Good day for the LI Express and Team 91.
This is first tournament I have seen Million Force win.

Express definately had players play on both teams in the finals. After the first final was over some of the kids stayed on the field to warm up for the second final game. Put a team together and play with what you have. Guess they could not bear to lose to a town team. Very weak

I don't think they switched players, the westchester team was big and fast. But sure did seam that some of them were 9th grade/JV players. But no complaints, my son had a great time at the tournament and played well.
Smash was the only team playing 2021 A division that did not have back to back games. All the other teams had to play 80 minutes in a row without a half time. Don't get me wrong Smash is a great team and can compete 2021 A but not having to play back to back games like the rest of the teams helped them a lot today.

Big blow? They went 2-1 playing 6th grade A teams and missed the finals because of a lost coin flip. I'm proud of the way they played. No excuses and you're a jackass.
No, they CANNOT compete against 2021. Please stop....Be happy that you are competitive at your age. The top 2021 teams weren't even at this tournament. Smash is a 5th grade team, period, lets see how they do with that age group.
It was the coaches son. We all know who. A disgrace that the kid played on the team. Exactly why teams are starting to not play in 91's tournaments anymore. He controlled the entire game. Express D could not do anything against him.
Are u saying a 7th grader played in 4 th grade game - is that even safe for the 4th graders? Why didn't somebody say something to the coach? That parent should be banned!
Better yet report him to the tournament director.
Kid is in 5th grade- started school late, never held back. Bandits played in 5th gr bracket. He normally plays with a 7th grade team, but is in 5th gr. no rules broken and it appears many people are in favor of grade based teams, not U based teams. Unless something changes, this is 100 percent within the rules. If changes were made and you had to go by age, then all the teams with kids that started school late would have to be reconfigured. I would gather there are at least 2-3 kids held back from starting kindergarten on each team on all grades, in all clubs.
This is an absolute disgrace. Can you imagine if this was tolerated in other sports. Baseball, football, basketball, etc. Oh wait....Its not. Regardless of how you want to twist it and pretend it is OK, IT IS CHEATING. Someone with some authority needs to make an example of these antics and call the 91 organization what it is....CHEATS and SBAGS.
I hope this comment is read by Directors. My son didnt make a 2021 "a" team- so we watched the finals of the a bracket 2021 to see what we missed out on. It was a combination of very skilled kids playing their hearts out (this was impressive and fun to watch) and complete a-hole coaches berating kids, yelling at them WHILE they tried to play and upon leaving the field. Coaches of Express and Outlaws were an absolute embarassment to their organizations. They did nothing to stop the head hunting and dirty play, and coached Fall ball like the NCAA was on the line. Coaches- grow up. You have good teams with kids who play hard. Why dont you let them enjoy the game too- it wont hurt their scholarship chances. I wanted my kid to make Express- I won't lie. In some way I am glad he didnt.
