I feel like this has the beginnings of the 2026 board where all they talk about is the Hawks. 275 pages later we will still be talking about the same thing. There are lots of good topics to cover.

There was a lot of good lacrosse this weekend. NL, Hawks, Madlax and True all seemed like good teams. The Crabs may be as well but BLC didn't look too competitive so it's hard to tell. I don't know why HLC didn't play, but that would have been interesting as well.

The holdback talk is lame. It happens, deal with it or play rec. I've been asked several times if my kid was a hold back, I'm flattered that people would think so, but it's also sad that people would care. FWIW - he's a January 2010 birthday.
