Wow. These are middle schoolers, and they are out on the field in 90 degree heat playing with their buddies. What kind of person would say things like this about a bunch of kids? Get a life man. Really.

Say it ain’t so Hawksnation?

Hawkward

How does group play at WSYL work? Top two teams advance out of each group into single elimination?

now that right there is funny... #hawkward

Those teams have plenty of 13U players playing in 14U World Series because they didn’t bench their older kids. Some 2026 teams decided to play their 13U kids up with the 14U / 2025s to let them all play together, win or lose. Other teams decided they would bench their older kids and not let them play with their teammates. Some even created entirely new teams just to get enough 13U kids on a team. In any case, not all teams are pounding their chests about winning the WS before it even starts. They just want their kids to have fun and enjoy the experience of this special event. Yes, it’s more fun to win, but it’s also fun just to be there with your teammates. All of them.

wish more people understood this line of thought, kuddos and good luck.

Poor Hawks, what a Hawkward weekend ! LOL

Someone has already made that joke.

Another Hawks loss - maybe scheduling Naptown the week of WSYL wasn't a good idea! I hope all MD teams do well and make it to the championship game.

Stop you fool. These are hard working KIDS.

The Hawks are hardworking kids. On the other hand, the Hawks parents who come on here talking nonsense garbage hopefully learned something. There are a lot of good teams out there and if you're gonna dish it out you're gonna have to learn to take it. Good luck to the Hawks kids in the consolation game.

Was not at wsyl and not a Hawks fan. This being said the Hawks hating on this board has reached a new level. They lost in a great game if the final was 6 5 as reported. I believe Black Ops is a team made up of all the best kids from hoco who play on teams other then Hawks, Madlax and True. That means the best hand selected kids from VLC, Bethesda, Loonies, Crabs, FCA and 91 came together as an all-star team and beat a team that plays together year round. Kudos to Ops for the win, but no way does the loss dilute the excellence of the Hawks team that represents our area well whenever they take the field.
