Garbage. Rather strong words from someone who probably has an ax to grind. Beside their strong 2020 Orange team, Looney's has won tournament championships in 2016 in the following brackets: 2019 Orange, 2022 Orange, 2023 Orange, 2024 Orange and 2025 Orange.
The two teams cut happened at least 2 to 3 years ago and the sound reasons why that happened has been discussed on the forum many times. It was the proper and correct action to take to protect the players and provide a better opportunity for them.
If this program was garbage, as you suggest, why would Andy Hilgartner, varsity lax coach at McDonogh be associated with this club? Go spit your useless dribble somewhere else.


Isn't Hilgartner is a coach for the Crabs ? What does he do for Looneys ?


Coaches his sons team, Looney's 2025 Orange. Not certain if he is still coaching for Crabs. His older son plays for FCA 2019, he doesn't coach at FCA.


Middle school kids play on teams that their friends play for...as they migrate to HS and recruiting they tend to head for the competitive programs. As Looney's has show, they can field some very competitive teams. This will be a forever changing dynamic. There was a time when the Crabs were the best program, Greene Turtle was once very competitive at all age groups. FCA came on the scene and hurt Greene Turtle, Breakers and Looneys. They will all have at least one strong age group, all depends on where the best coaching is for that age group.


Good to see there are still people in this forum who have the ability to make a post without bashing anyone/anything.
