Laxachusetts Youth Teams at the Legacy Invitational Tournament

Laxheads,
The final tournament of the summer for our Laxachusetts Youth teams was the Legacy Invitational at Devens, MA with many of the Elite Clubs from around the country attending.
Our teams and players continued to improve each tourney and this was a terrific ending to an incredible season. Great competition, great weather and great facilities.
We received multiple emails from various club programs stating this was the most competitive tournament they had been to all year. We could not be more proud to host this event and even more importantly watch our players and team succeed on the field.
3rd Grade Division (2023)
This group of players faced some of the toughest competition anywhere in the country as 3rd graders while traveling to LI back 2 back weekends.
The 3rd grade division is very new to club lacrosse and most 3rd grade teams are from the Long Island area.
We had high expectations for this group and expected to be in the Championship game against the exceptional 91 Lacrosse 3rd grade team. Our team did not take the local competition seriously and expected to get easy wins. Great lesson for these young players that opposing local clubs get fired up to play the Laxachusetts teams and we are a team people get fired up to play (same we get fired up to play 91 Lax and LIE). Made it to the Semi Finals
Finished the tourney with 3rd place and 1-3-1 record
4th Grade Division (2022)
Black Team (AA)
First time this summer we made AA and A level teams at the 2022 level. All of the teams did great in both AA and A divisions.
The Black team went 3-0-1 in the opening round and earned the #1 seed going into the playoffs.
On Sunday they faced the #4 seed Patriots from NJ and moved onto the Championship with a 7-2 victory.
In the Championship we faced a very strong LIE Team (who we tied 4-4 in opening round on Saturday). LIE won the game 5-4 to take home the Legacy Trophy. Great weekend for our team and boys.
Finished the tourney in 2nd place with a 4-1-1 record
Green Team (A)
Our Green team did great as well but started out slow with game 1 and finished with a tie vs local club (skipjacks). Next up faced a very strong NE Storm team (That wont the championship) and lost 7-4. Had a convincing win over Team Superstar to end the day on Saturday.
Made it to the Semi Finals with the 3rd place seed and lost to Bradys Bunch (CA) 7-5.
Great weekend for our Green team.
Finished the tourney with a 2-2-1 record
White Team (A)
Our White team shared the same record on Saturday as the Green team with a 1-1-1 record. Lost 7-6 opening up the day on Saturday to finalist Brady's Bunch (CA) and then strong win over Team Superstar.
Made it to the Semi Finals with the #4 seed on Sunday. Battled on Sunday with the NE Storm (team that won championship) and we lost 7-5 in a great back and forth game.
Finished strong on Sunday.
Finished the tourney with a 2-2-1 record
5th Grade Division
Black Team (AA)
By far the best this team has played all summer. Maybe the toughest test for this team at the Legacy tourney and they responded incredibly.
Started off with a overwhelming victory over Team Superstar. Then another strong win over NH Tomahawks and finishing day against a very tough Eclipse team from CT.
Our team earned the #1 seed on Sunday and faced #4 seed Eclipse and won 9-5 to make it to the Championship Game. Once again, as we often do when we make it to the Championship games, we faced the LI Express. A defensive battle with LIE taking home the title with a 5-3 victory.

Green Team (A)
Our 5th grade teams were incredibly strong across the board all summer and Legacy Invitational was no different. Three convincing wins over Primetime, NH Tomahawks , Skipjacks going 3-0 on the day.
Receiving the #2 seed in the Semi Finals, the Green team faced who else, another Long Express team. We always love playing LIE because that is how our players are going to get better. LIE got the W against us moving on to the title game. Finished the tourney with a 4-1 record and 3rd place finish White Team (A)
White team continued the 5th grade LXC domination with another 3-0 record on the day Saturday. Taking down Fed Lax, 128 Lax and Hooligan Lacrosse outscoring opponents by 37-7.

In a hard fought battle, LIE got the title with a 6-3 win over us. Great job by all of our 5th grade players/teams.
Finished the tourney with a 4-1 record and 2nd place finish6th Grade Division
Black Team (AA)
This team showed the most improved this summer going against tough opponents all summer. Defense and Goalie play has been exceptional this grade but we have not seen the scoring production we would have liked. The offense got clicking this weekend though which was great to see.
Outscoring opponents in first 2 games was exciting to see offense clicking 24-7. Had a defensive battle against the NH Tomahawks 5-5 and ended with another close game with a win over Team Super Star 7-6.We received the #3 seed and faced a very tough LI Express team in the Semi Finals as we lost 10-4.

Finished the tourney with a 4-1 record and 2nd place finish

It is always tough when you have to begin a tourney facing the LI Express team. Our team played hard but the Express got the better of us with a 7-3 win. Up next we played a great game in a tough defensive style game with a 4-4 tie. Last game of the day was against a Fed Lax team and our boys got the offense rolling with a 11-0 victory.
We entered the Semi Finals as the #4 seed which was great news. Bad news is we had to once again face the LI Express. Express got the W with a 7-4 over us. Finished the tourney with a 2-2-1 record and 3rd place finish 7th Grade Division
Black Team (AA)
This is a fun team to watch as they have incredible energy and excitement when they play. Just looking at the scores with a 11-2 win over CT Bulldogs, 13-1 win over Team Superstar and 10-3 over Patriot, this team can put up numbers and selfish on the defensive end of the field.
With the 3-0 performance on Saturday, they earned the #1 seed going into the Semi Finals on Sunday. Facing the #4 seed Warrior Elite and keeping things rolling with a 14-1 victory moving into the Championship. Once again one of our teams facing the LI Express in the Finals. Just as we always have battles with Express at all grades, this was no different. LIE got the win with a 7-5 victory.

We are fortunate to have a deep 2019 class and create a second AA team to compete in this division. Although this team went 0-3 on Saturday, they faced some all high level teams. First up was a top LI club Dune Dawgs and lost 10-5. Next up was Leading Edge NJ and we lost a hard fought battle 5-4. Last up on the trifecta was LI Express and we lost 8-6.

We want to thank all of the parents for a wonderful year and a great summer. We realize it is not easy to travel out of state to play in events but as you can see from all of the tournaments we attend and we are playing against the best club programs in the country, playing against the best only makes you better and we need to compete outside of Massachusetts to get better and prepare our players for playing at a higher level.
Our design and mission is to offer the best training, coaching, and competition for the kids. Everything is about making all of our kids better.
We hope everyone has a great summer and looking forward to seeing all of the players at the call back tryouts.
Best
Laxachusetts Staff
