I will take a shot. Not sure we got enough of a comparative look at all the Long Island teams, but here is my assessment, top 16, with a bias to teams that played multiple Fall tournaments:

Tier 1 - Coppermine (still #1), Eagle Stix (#1a), Hero's Green--in that order. These three teams stand out well above the next Tier. Hero's performance at Mid-Atlantic earns a spot in Tier 1.

Tier 2 - M&D (coming together), MDU (still good), Crush (will be there in the Spring), Yellow Jackets Maget (didn't play much, but YJ LI flagship team always gets better as they move into late MS/HS)

Tier 3 - Aces (had a tough Fall to drop a tier), Pride (competed well against top 10 to move up a tier), Sky Walkers (not firing on all cylinders yet); Jesters (win over Crush puts them here), LI Legacy, STEPS Elite NJ (limited results, but played pretty well)

Tier 4 - NXT, BBL, LI Liberty

Others considered. Urban Elite didn't make it out East this Fall. HHH had limited results and lost to lower ranked teams. Monster Elite didn't play anybody other than HHH.

Quick update. Hero's wins another top pool. Solid Tier 1.

YJ Maget looks solid in tier 2 with a 1 goal loss to Hero's and a 1 goal win over MDU.

Can add Monsters Elite to Tier 3, and Urban Elite to Tier 4. Steps Elite Blue looks like they are in the right tier (3) for now. And HHH to Tier 4.

How can MDU be Tier 2? Didn't they lose to Aces & Skywalkers? Lacrosse math doesn’t compute.
