US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums MID-ATLANTIC LACROSSE MARYLAND FORUM Boys 2026 Grads - Mid Atlantic Region

The Predators' coaches and their organization started "advertising" on this forum by very creepily pretending that they were a big deal at the end of every post. It has been just plain weird. The mocking was actually an amusing break for a bit. No one knows who/what they will be. They are earning their own bad reputation. As far as their level of play, they could be anywhere from FCA to True Baltimore.

As far as the potential change of leagues from AAA to Elite -
The top 5 were TRW Wolfpack Sidewinders, Top Caliber, Roughriders and Breakers. TRW Wolfpack was the class of AAA all spring. They did not lose until the finals. Sidewinders only lost Wolfpack in regular season and played very solidly; but they do not have the bigger kids necessary to play with the elites. Top Caliber added 5 kids who didn't play in the spring for the playoffs and beat Sidewinders and Wolfpack. If those 5 kids play all year, they should elevate to Elite, as should Wolfpack. As to who should move down, there is now the Crabs Hardshells, which will be the the kids from last year's elite team that got pushed down for the much talked about holdbacks. Predators (and their annoying marketing department) will likely also be AAA. That fills two spots if Top Caliber and Wolfpack and Top Caliber move up. They could do a ten team division at Elite. Ultimately the Elite division is mostly a two team race, Hawks and Crabs. True added some pieces, but they are likely the "best of the rest." Cannons and HoCo are also looking to jump from AA to AAA, with solid justification.. There was some rumors on this board that Roughriders was blowing up, which could knock them down, if any of that was even true. Breakers is a one player team. Outside of one midfielder the team is basically a AA team. Saltwater had a lousy spring; but a very solid summer. They could legitimately push their way into the upper echelons by spring. . .

Bottom team in Elite should be given the option to move down if they are consistently at the bottom.

Top team in AAA should be given the option to move up to elite if they are consistently at the top.

New clubs should have to earn elite level by starting in AAA. AAA and AA should combine to have the bulk of the competitive teams and then the division should be split into brackets. You play your bracket teams in season to decide playoff seeding and then the two brackets face each other for playoffs.

Divisions of Elite, AAA, A and B can then made

Common Sense. Not rocket science.

I just heard that Crabs picked up a 15 yr/old out of state FO that puts their old FO guy to shame on the line and on the field. True? If so that’s too bad because I thought their old guy was good but I’m hearing this guy is a huge upgrade.

I have no idea about his age but the kid will be the best FO at the 2026 level. Crabs will have the best 1/2 punch at X and with the other additions will be the team to beat in HOCO this year.

Who cares. This next six months is about getting into the right High School where you can maximize playing time and development. I could care less about how my kids team does in HoCo when teams haven’t even ramped up yet. Summer tournaments are way more important.

Hawks this, Crabs that….so boring.

We played 91 over the summer; handled them easily. 91 is obsolete at the 26 level. With the new additions and FO help I think we move into the top 3. And yes we added a kid from 91

So what school are you trying to get your son into? Here’s a hint; if you have the money he can go wherever he wants. Unless your kid is a D1 player you’re not getting a discount. Lol

Predators 2026 already has 14 D1 commits. Eight of them are for full rides. Sorry your kid isn't good enough to make Predators. There is really seriously a new sheriff in town!

Idk anything about 91 but I can say that my son played several years with the FO you picked up from fca. Sorry but that kid isn’t going to be much help. And get ready for daddy to do a lot of (bad) sideline coaching. The other two that went over will be missed.

91 added 2 25 holdbacks, big defender that was hurt all year is back, and a huge attack man. . We already had best goalie and attack in 26. We will be a force to be reckoned with for sure.

91 will beat hawks and crabs this year

Best goalie and best attack do not play for 91 and never have. Have fun with your new 25s. We are glad one of them is your headache now.

Only good thing good about the 26 91 team is watching the 2 buffoon dads. dense and dumber

Big deal. A 15 year old high school kid playing against 13 year old middle schoolers. Parents must be proud

But they start turning 14 this fall, so that’s good.
Get over it if you want your kid playing varsity freshman year.
