Leading Edge will catch up to and probably surpass BBL next season. They always add a bunch of players and grab a handful of reclasses. BBL is still a good club but when they get to high school they fall off a bit. The current BBL high school teams used to beat up on LE at the youth level. Now its the other way around. Same thing is likely to happen here. If the 2024s played today though, I'd say BBL wins by 2-3 goals.[/quote]
Your credibility is suspect LE dad. No-one from BBL 24s would join a B level LE team. Proof will be after BBLs tryout is done and core players stay. What's the draw anyway, NLF? please. It's been watered down and lost its appeal and LE is never competitive in it. By the way, BBL wins by 15-18 goals easy with half their players missing.[/quote]

Ha ha. You're obviously a BBL player or dad holding on to the dream and has no idea of the bigger picture. Just wait and see.[/quote]

Really? And you have it figured out have you. you know the secret to life and see the big picture. You're a joke. Good luck with your son making the cut at Leading edge this year. he always have Bloomfield College to look forward to.[/quote]

This debate happens every year, and in the past, had some merit, but I think that the LE 2023 team is perfect example that the grass is not always greener. Sure they play a tough schedule, but the mounting losses are clearly affecting the players and parents.Much like other legacy programs in NJ, LE just assumes that the kids will show up on their doorstep, not so much anymore. There are other clubs in NJ doing a great job developing players. My son plays for another NJ club, but there is little question about the respect that the BBL program has in the club lacrosse community.
