Looks like someone is upset about not being able to participate at a high level like Crabs do. Since you mentioned a few teams including the Talk of Baltimore, I suspect we have us a Hawks parent here. Hawks are great at early grades, once the going gets tough at HS level, not so much.[/quote]

That doesn’t tell the whole story. When most teams start adding national players and collecting talented kids from clubs around the area - mostly guest players - most of the Hawks teams remain local and stable. It results in them being more of a top 10-15 team instead of top 5. Some parents prefer it that way. Others don’t. BOTC gets to pile on. I say good for them.
