Can’t be. Everybody gets into Calvert Hall.

And they added other players from other teams.

Parent who went through admissions process...didn't get in to Calvert Hall...roger that!

So will Mercy and Mt De Sales get moved down to B conference. Lots talking about bottom 2 automatic move. What will they do if GCS and Garrison don’t have varsity teams. A 10 team A conference would be really good.

Lines for the Week:
VLC 1 -ML 15
Clippers 2- NL 11

Crabs 6- ML 8
VLC 2- Hawks 14

Love seeing UVA knock out UNC from ACC tournament - well deserved. Tired of hearing that UNC is a "young tem" - they are far from a "yound team" - UVA freshmen stepping up big time. Hope to see a win against Cuse.

Compare the % of holdbacks & out of staters across the last 5-10 years of the top of the MIAA vs. the bottom and the results are what you would expect. It is MCD, BL & CHC vs. the rest. The best that the rest of league can do is just hope to make top 6 a few times in a 10 year period. Playing field is very tilted. In the darkest corner-very off the record many of these wins for top schools must be hollow victories except for when they play each other in the championship game. Don't come on here and say recruit better(money giveaway) coach better, etc,.. I doubt if any of the other schools are just going to erect a dormitory or start a sizeable lacrosse endowment overnight. In the end, most of the 11 are schools first. Lets start by requiring the 11 schools to play A conference in every sport but one in each of the three timeframes(Fall, Winter & Spring). That would be a good start to keep schools from loading up on one sport. CHC, LB, MSJ & Spalding already have a jump start with this approach. Don't make excuses about size because you can't have it both ways. Its not about preserving your little spot in the A conference for one/a few sports. It is about the long term competitive health of the entire league. There are many positives that would come with it. For example, there are many football players that are lax players that want to play on a competitive level in both.

Yeah, great idea let’s ask a bunch of disgruntled parents what they think. All that matters is winning, that’s what parents don’t get. They are so used to coddling that they can’t handle the truth.

Give it a rest Sippy.

You have the worst daddy of them all still on JV! Wait til next year!!!!

Last year was 48 ish I believe, this year is around 106 players is what I counted.
Event has lost all merit and is now solely about bringing in the $$$$.

👆🏽 This.

Cookie Monster influencing the roster behind the scenes with the coaching staff and its widely known amongst the varsity parents. The program will be better off once he’s no longer part of it.

You play with sock puppets often do you? lol.
HOCO league, should be called Holdback League!!

Igloo got hammered last year at the real NAL Get over yourself and your awful team. Barely beat express in the fall and they are @chillinlax..!! Igloo and Rebels are done Twins mom already looking elsewhere Igloo dad who keeps writing this stuff has also been on the phone with the express coach Don’t let him fool you Time for people to quit the charade

By 8th grade most of the kids who are good enough to play on elite teams - have made elite teams.

there are also between 3-5 kids on each of the better elite teams that have no business on the roster and are just there for whatever reason.

Additionally, this matters for a few more weeks then these boys are in high school and no one cares.

This aged well.

Some Facts- Prior coach from MHS didn’t coach son or sons friends when won 2 NYS championships. He coached the team way before his son played . Nepotism was not the only reason he was relieved of his coaching position .
This year MHS AD hired a parent coach who currently coaches a varsity age club team and has a son on team . He will have 2 sons on team next year.
Club coaches are paid to coach club teams so this is a very questionable hire . Massapequa has a lot of good qualified lacrosse coaches in town who do not have sons/ sons friends on the varsity and club team so again this hire by the AD was not a smart or ethical one. I heard there are many conflicts there Just ask the senior/junior/ sophomore parents on the team. Just because they are winning a few games doesn’t mask what is really going on ….

Bet that went over well. They should all feel really good about themselves. But it’s LB. I’d expect nothing less than.

Preach!! I don’t understand the detest for JC. But I think you’re on to something…”elitist”.

Absolutely correct!!!

And LB left their “Star” attackman in the game until the middle of the 4th quarter so he could pad his stats!!
Definitely daddy’s influence over the OC. Lots of bad apples on the sidelines at Blakefield.

Brewster over Arlington would be the upset of the week, if not for one thing:

Fox Lane over Greeley in OT.
That is not a typo.
A varsity lacrosse game in section 1 was won 3-2.
It was almost a controversial ending as FL looked to have scored the go ahead goal less than a minute to go, but was waved off by the officials.

East and West both only changed a couple girls out

you are a disgrace!!! What would you expect! JC doesn't have the hold backs that most of the schools have and they work hard to compete.
Sorry if your silver spoon, elitist attitude will only allow you to cheer for the Baltimore teams. I'm sure if it were up to you the league would be a 5 team league, that's great! Grow up! I'm sure u probably never played a competitive sport in your life or you would know how to win with class and loose with dignity.

Skip over this one...misunderstood the comment...
