That. Is. Irrefutable.

It's 100% not irrefutable. The fact is that MD "Elite" coaches care waaaay more about the Howard County Spring League than they do WSYL. I get it, you NY'ers are envious of the premier spring lacrosse league in the country.

My kid plays for one of these nationally ranked, top teams and the coach is unwilling to miss the opening weekend. So my son, like a bunch of other kids that I know, will play for a PA based team during the Sunday qualifiers this weekend.

The ONLY "Elite" Maryland club that is fielding a WSYL team is True Chesapeake because they requested and were granted a bye from HOCO for week 1.


The only reason True plays in WSYL is because they own the tournament. No one else cares. It is not what it used to be...and is pretty much a joke now. Have fun watching your son play for the PA-based team.

My daughter, for one, looks forward to playing with all of these girls, including that girl - she is amazing (and no, I'm not her mom).
Thought this was a parent forum - why would the girls be on here - oh wait, they come on here and make just as bad comments.........

GCS was simply out played. Talent does not match up to McD. That and the same few girls like to pass to each other,

Who really wants to be the guy who voluntarily removes or goes after the uva associate head coaches kid? This is a networking sport more than any other.

You shoot your shot and let the rules take care of it like they are supposed to. It all worked out as it should.
This is a disgrace teams cheating refs helping like last year for 91. All 91 needs to do is have coaches playing again.

Re: Girl's 2027 Grades - Mid Atlantic Region Anonymous
There were lots of freshman on varsity rosters around the league last year. This class isn’t better than any previous class. Making the team isn’t the same as contributing.

Much closer game than the score shows. Refs made it impossible to keep possession. GCS will see McD again.

At one point during the game (and possibly more (I wasn’t watching that closely) ml had a short stick and a long stick stuck in the box for at least 20 seconds which created a double man down situation. Adding to that chaos the coach was constantly directing the players which was distracting at best.

On the plus side most of the players were good sized, quick with excellent stick skills. Long poles and midfielders were more than competent. The goalie was directing the defense and made some good saves (although I thought he had some problems with low shots- again I didn’t see enough to make a realy informed judgement) there was talk on the sideline about a strong attack I thought they were good but shooting needs work. But easily fixable. Also one of thier attack turned the ball over several times (probably new to the team and just needs to get comfortable)

All in all, a team with potential I’m looking forward to watching my son play them this weekend.

nice informative post

What/where are the events this weekend for the local 2028 teams?
Bmore Bloom at Troy Park:

Hawks play Leading Edge and Chain Bridge All Stars

Crabs play Madlax, Chain Bridge All Stars, and Leading Edge

Leading Edge plays Chain Bridge, Hawks, and Madlax

Nobody seems to know who Chain Bridge is… but they’re running into a buzz saw

Some very good 2028 action at Troy Park today. Scores:

Hawks 10-7 over Chain Bridge All Stars
Crabs 7-4 over Madlax
Leading Edge 10-6 over Chain Bridge All Stars
Hawks 9-8 over Leading Edge
Leading Edge 10-6 over Madlax
Chain Bridge All Stars 9-6 over Crabs

Takeaways:
Hawks and Leading Edge are two of the top teams in the nation. Perhaps the best two “non national” teams. Not sure who is better than those two… they play so well together, they’re well coached, and they have a bunch of great players throughout the roster. Was a fantastic game that was tied with .30 left when the slick Leftie Attack from Hawks won it late.

Crabs— way, way overhyped. Long way to go. Seemed disoriented, but they have some studs for sure. Will likely improve a lot through spring. BT I think their lace in HoCo to 4 is at serious risk.

Madlax— bringing in a bunch of flyins, they will compete if they don’t kiss their flights. A very good FOGO and big 47 is still effective. If it’s true that he’s one foot out the door— they’re a B team. He scored 3 of their 4 goals and wasted on the other one.

Chain Bridge All Stars— loaded with DC Express kids and a handful of Next Level kids. They were getting better as the day wore on, and they killed the Crabs in their last game. A parent told me they’ve never practiced together. So not really a team we will likely see again, but they looked to be having a lot of fun. Healthy respite from club lacrosse. Love seeing that stuff. Had nicknames on their jerseys, our boys loved that.

HoCo next week, should be fun!

3D New England belongs in that best real team conversation, too. We've played all three of those teams in the last year and 3DNE was right there with them. They look comically old, but the rules are the rules.



Easy to say the top (non/national) teams are in tiers:

Hawks
3DNE
2Way
Leading Edge

91 Venom
FCA MD Blue
BBL
Rhino ATL

Sweetlax
Crabs
Express North
Texas Nationals (not a real national team)

National teams:
Red Hots
WCS
MADdog National
Sweetlax Navy
Boston's Phinest/JM3


If your kid is truly a player on one of these teams, he'll be a Top 100 guy come recruiting season. Congratulations. Beauty is that almost every single one of these teams can beat one another any given day.

Fair list. I'd probably add Freedom to the third tier. Well coached team with a tough defense.

You guys are funny. You act as if you have a clue about the entire nation of lacrosse for boys who are going through puberty.

You're comment about Freedom is funny. You think because the Hawks be them by a few goals a week ago they are somehow third tier. You do realize they haven't practiced as a team until this week right? How many hours have the Hawks practiced together? Most of PA, NY, NJ and MA play town in the spring.

Freedom beat the Hawks and FCA at the end of last year. I'm guessing Freedom and Venom will be just fine by the time summer rolls around.

Easy bro, why so defensive. I was just acknowledging that Freedom is a good team that should be on this list. Frankly I'd probably merge groups 2 and 3. Venom BBL EN and Freedom should really all be on the same tier. Any of those teams could beat each other on any given day. Haven't seen the new and improved Crabs to comment.

And I agree that the Sweetlax regional team should not be here. The national team is appropriately listed.

Didn’t Freedom beat crabs in Philly a couple weeks ago. Also, Rhino is better than both those teams.

Real statement. Lasalle and Haverford are top two in Philly. No doubt about it. Best coaching. Most talented players. Add Salesianum to mix if including DE.

Silly not to include Malvern in the conversation of top two in Philly. Malvern could finish number 1 when it's all said and done and for my money they're better and deeper than La Salle right now.

Radnor just said "hold my beer".

Girl is not a team player. Ask her high school and club. Also she isn’t the main reason girls don’t want her around. Right Ann?

Good Luck to the Fly-Ins getting canceled for rain, wind and thunderstorms. Also good luck to 91 MD in the Elite Division again. I'm willing to say Team Money, Team Maryland and Clippers will all three be in the top 50 in a few months and would give 91 a big fat L.

Carmel was VERY young about 2-3 years ago, but the talent was evident. They've continued to get better each year so this isn't really a surprise.
Still week one for everyone, so let's not get down on teams that struggle now.

No surprise here. Carmel gritty squad and Somers struggled all last year with chemistry and a very weak D. More of the same...
