Of course not. Players are still being courted.

Were kids playing who are not eligible for WS?

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.

Darien and Brunswick have played 4 times. Brunswick's 3 wins have come by a combined 5 goals (including one in OT where they trailed the entire game). That was no fluke, that's just par for the course between these two. In fact, Darien has had a tougher time with Staples than Brunswick lately.

And it's not just Darien. In 2016 New Canaan blew Brunswick off their home field, sandwiched between two 2 goal losses in 2015 and 2017. They've fallen off since, but even in 2021 a pretty meh NC squad played Brunswick tougher than everyone's anointed pre-season champ Taft.

Also love that you threw Loomis, Choate, and AOF in there as if they've accomplished remotely anything compared to any of the other three. Loomis should be good this year and Choate was good last year -- but by and large those programs have been riding the coat tails of Wick/Salisbury/Deerfield/Taft for the better part of two decades.

I'm talking about the kids who can't pass classification but somehow end up eligible. The kid who tells the other kids on the team that they couldn't pass the tests. The reputation of the school, AD, and coach are all at stake just to appease the local dad coach or overbearing Lax mom.

I've heard firsthand, from a now "retired" AD that they would have tryouts and "if the coach wants your daughter, we'll talk about the tests later. We'll make it work"

These parents are worse than the soccer moms out there.

This sounds like a problem with coaches and ADs and not parents. What am I missing?

People are on here, claiming to be former DI athletes, raising DI athletes, their kids are spending, what, 1hr a day on their sport?
Maybe my math skills are off but in the one case you have a D1 athlete putting in 28-35 hours a week , in the other its like 13-15 hours a week. Pretty big difference .I think the original poster was saying that at max they are allowed 20 hours a week according to NCAA rules and sometimes its actually only 8 and they are correct. The 4-5 hour guy has no clue and honestly your 3-4 hours would put them over the maximum. If you don't think coaches are mindful of that you are mistaken. I get it that they work hard but no need to exagerate.

Inferiority complex?!?! Feel free to stay “up North.”

Inferiority? Not at all, quite the opposite. The only way your teams can compete with us is by playing holdbacks. So you guys cheat and refuse to show up for a tournament that is on age. You’re sad.

What a boring argument. NY, CT, and MA teams have plenty of academic holdbacks, "late starts" and "pre holdbacks" where the kid is literally playing a year younger than his current grade because parents will "hold him back in the future."

And if you want to pick on the MD HS clubs, namely 91MD and Crabs, let's look under the hood and see all the Philly to MA boarding school kids, almost all holdbacks, who play for Crabs and 91 MD. Why in the world does a 18 year old HS sophomore at a boarding school in New Hampshire need to be on the roster for 91 MD?

LOL! Dude, you can have the best senior class and not have the best team. McD does not have the lock if they are only winning games by a goal or two. Be real. Good luck this season.

Um. This season just started. The 28's have a whole entire year to improve. They are still young. It is not smart to make these predictions now. Some athletes bloom a little bit later and IMO those are the ones that end up being the best.

Only a matter of time. Cream rises to top. King Crab does it again. I suspect this team will get stronger each year. Reason the boys wear their yellow and blue swag in public.

Are you serious? They would get smoked, easily.
Just because most of those. It’s are double holdbacks, doesn’t mean they can hang w a college program…

Is this a lax site or the Farmingdale Moms FB page? Get a grip sweetheart.

Do MSJ, JC and Gilman still count as 'A' conference schools? Discussion on the MD forum seems to indicate no.

People like to give Gilman a hard time. But 6 of the 11 A conference teams are currently ranked somewhere, NATIONALLY. And all 11 A conference teams, including Gilman, are ranked in MD top 20 polls.

I don't know why Gilman gets thrown in their either. I know of USA Lacrosse national and regional rankings but where are there MD rankings?

Re: Girl's 2027 Grades - Mid Atlantic Region Anonymous
If you play in any IL sponsored tourney, your registration info gets uploaded into their recruits database.

And it always asks what hs you attend.

There are lots of annoying things parents do in lacrosse.

This is not one of them.
