to who?

If Crabs lose in HOCO the Hawks are the ONLY team that have a chance. That team is loaded at every position and you can cry about holdbacks if you want but, they are bigger, faster and just plain better.

to who?


Hawks, 91

Because the majority of them are 9th graders. Play a 2025 team and see how bigger, faster and just plain better they are.

They did, last year when they were 25's. They were smaller, slower and not as good.

Last spring 91 was awful; did they bring in a bunch of reclasses like Crabs/Hawks, or are you saying that the incumbent players have improved so much they will leap frog the whole division?

Club and number of holdbacks

Crabs - 5
FCA - 4
91 - 8
Hawks - 6
Looney's - 7
DC Express - 5
Madlax - 7

If you think Crabs have only 5 holdbacks, you are insane. Their entire team other than maybe 2-3 should be in 9th or 10th grade. That’s a fact.

Bigger stronger and faster yet sitting in the same grade they did last year. Looking forward to seeing them give my grandkids lax lessons at $55/hr to help supplement that gym teacher salary. Tale as old as time.

If you can't beat them, slander them. You ma'am are clueless. Can't wait to hear all the whining in the Spring. The list above is 100% accurate

Crabs just beat leading edge by 1 and they are the team to beat?

The only holdback on 91 is the big lefty attack.

Can't speak to other teams:

Madlax - 4 not 7

It is Hilarious all the remarks about how each team has less than what is here. No one knows the exact number....Why not go for broke and say there are no holdbacks at all.. LOL.. Teams are loaded and that is what it is...Holdem back or get out of way of the big boys.

By this motto. "Holdem back or get out of way of the big boys" The non holdbacks who excel are just superior and thanks to the holdback kids for coming out and trying. There are a lot of on age kids across every level embarrassing holdbacks. Kudos to those kids for being men and allowing the lil guys down to join you.

No more WSYL.

WSYL UPDATE

Our goal when we started the World Series of Youth Lacrosse was to create an event that would provide every athlete and his family with the ultimate lacrosse memory – a memory that players and families would be able to cherish for years to come. We are proud to have accomplished that. The World Series of Youth Lacrosse started in 2015 as a ten-team invitational event held in Denver, CO. Over the next seven years we hosted thousands of players and their families at what quickly became the greatest lacrosse event on the planet. And now this adventure has come to an end. The players who participated in the 2021 World Series of Youth Lacrosse will be the last to share this journey with us. We hope that everyone who has experienced the World Series of Youth Lacrosse has had as much joy and fun as we have. And with that, we say farewell. Good luck and best wishes to our World Series of Youth Lacrosse family.

Thank you for the incredible memories!

holdbacks Rule !! Sorry WSYL

The list is not accurate. My son plays on one of the teams and I can see all the birthdays on our roster. We have more than what is stated above. So your list is fake news. Sorry.

Crabs might be 5 ON AGE KIDS

Can the person who thinks that 91 will beat Crabs explain why - did they get a bunch of new players, or are you saying that the existing players have improved that much?

They got a few new players. But and this is a big But, They are getting two boys from Texas and Two boys from GA. All total lights out at this level. My understanding is only one is on age. So look out Crabs, Hawks, etc, etc, Your time has come . Not many know about it, Heard it here first.

Ok

The 91 model takes hold....."the players we grow!" become "the practice team members" because "we never cut hard working players."

Simultaneously, "These 14 year olds with beards from Texas or who cares where!" become the heart of the roster over the course of two seasons.

Well that would explain why MadLax 2026 has gotten so bad. 91 is recruiting right in their backyard!

Thanks Mark.

A few players that will look back and completely regret they spent years shuttled around like cattle to make mom and dad happy and club directors wealthier. I envy the dense sometimes.

I envy their fathers private jets that bring them to and from.

91 put crabs and hawks on notice today

Can this sport get any more elitist!!!!???? Gross

It will all be worth it when I am giving private lacrosse lessons to High School students after college. Keep it real folks.

So how did 91 put teams on notice yesterday?
They beat some elite teams?

And don't forget all the cheddar you can make selling your old club gear on Ebay.
People don't understand how playing for these elite squads really sets you up for the future.

The Tx and Ga are on age…. McD has already made their eighth grade dorm rooms ready for NEXT year!

So how did 91 put teams on notice yesterday?
They beat some elite teams?

If anyone saw this team play yesterday it was quite impressive

so it is safe to note that this 91 Team is the not the same time from last Spring/Summer 2021?

I don't think so. They beat three teams that would likely play one or even two levels down in the HoCo league.

They didn't play Looney's - that would have been a better gauge of where they stand WRT another HoCo same-division team.

Quite impressive? They played nobody. The top 3 played the bottom three and not each other. Wasted trip.

You played no one, but ok.

LOL another delusional 91 parent - nice wins over AA teams
