Gilman, Severn, McDonogh - top tier in that order
LB, MSJ, JC - middle tier
St. Mary’s, BL, CHC, Spalding - bottom tier

St Mary’s bottom tier when it comes to facilities. McDonough probably has the best.

St. Mary's is bottom for facilities, and it's not even close.

Unfortunately St Mary’s has no space available to improve. MDLax got the Train rolling to Spalding now it is full speed ahead with top talent from Annapolis heading to Spalding.

Agree. It used to be that all of the best Hawks were a lock to attend St. Mary’s. The last few age groups have branched out to Spalding and even Severn. Best 25 and 26 Hawks are at Spalding and the best 27s went to Severn. STM cannot continue to compete if they don’t dominate the AA Co recruiting.

SMA has a built in advantage over almost all the other schools. There are 20+ Hawks, Crabs, FCA... players in each 8th grade class. They don't need to recruit they need to retain. My son was "recruited" by several of the MIAA schools, but not by SMA in the same way which is where he went to grade school.
