Any top notch goalies or faceoff guys in 2023 or 2022?

All goalies are top notch takes balls to play that position. Toughest position in any sport.

Yes, my son. He is the face off guy and goalie for his team. The amazing thing, he wears his goalie gear and uses his goalie stick during face off's. After gaining possession, he sprints down to play goal. Forgot to mention he plays up, so he does this for both his 22 and 23 team. We are so proud of him.

That is too funny; nice post!!

I have seen some really good lacrosse at this level at both 2022 and 2023; I have sons that play in both age brackets. I saw some real nice goaltending with Lax Factory in 2022 AA; very quick and clears the ball well and Koopers FO kid against VLC was exceptional! In 2023 Crabs in dominating everyone and has some talent in between the pipes for sure; Team 91 2023 has a very good FO kid as does the Hawks at this level. I wish there were some names on these jerseys so these kids could get some recognition!! LOL

This is a good question for the color commentary reporters for the 2022's. The ones that watch every game every week.

FCA had a FO guy that was really strong against Crabs last week. Think it was #6. He made the game pretty interesting in the 4th qtr.

I saw the final score of that game and it appears FCA gave them a run for their money; looks like FCA put a nice team together this year to compete with Crabs. I actually caught some of the FCA/Team 91 game; FCA destroyed them but the FO kid for Team 91 was definitely a bright spot for them. He won most of the draws. Next Level has a very good FO kid as well; big and fast.

You failed too mention Looneys 2023 has a Face off guy who dominated Club Blue and team 91

Seriously FCA Dad?? Are you really going to come on hear and pump up your own kid up.... Get real.....

Oh now here comes the Looneys Dad's.....If you have to pump up your kids on this site then they might not be that good.... Give me a break

No dad here...just pointing out good players..obviously you don't know about him..

C'mon Looney's Dad I don't know what game you were watching but that Looney's duo did well against Club Blue but the kid on Team 91 got the best of both of them; I don't think I saw anyone else on Team 91 taking a draw in that game and he battled in the circle with both; might have been 3 of them form Looney's, that entire game. Those are the kind of kids I love to watch play......all heart!

Also Keep an eye on #24 from Crabs; attackman, and number 2 another attackman on FCA. The crabs kid may be the best player in 2023.

LOL....definitely a Looney's dad......too funny with the self promotion of an 11/12 year old. What has happened to youth sports!!!???

Koopers 2019 hasn't played FCA. These are sophmores, they don't play HOCO league anymore.

Sounds like a Team 91 dad too me...blind..

Obviously you wasn't at the game..the final score tells it all..

Not sure what this is in reference to, but I attend a lot of games with 2 boys playing in the HOCO League. Final score doesn't necessarily tell you about some of the individual battles going on all over the field. Pointing simply to the score is someone that doesn't understand the game of lacrosse and is on here with an agenda. Some parents will never learn

"You wasn't at the game"......oh these poor kids!!

Actually a Crabs Dad and Proud of it!!!

Must have been learning subjunctives that day

They are 6th graders.... relax!

It figures..

Like I said before you obviously wasn't at the game to make a dumb comment on I attend all game. I


Like said before you wasn't at the game..Looneys only use 2 Face off guys...I was only giving credit where credit is due and you turn this into a circus..I no more about LAX than what you think..

Wow...and that makes you special...

I never said I was at ALL lacrosse games but I did say ALOT. Regardless of how many Looney's used they surely didn't dominate at the Circle based on what I saw. And let's be honest neither of those teams could hold a candle to the Crabs 2023 at any position on the field. Crabs playing looneys would be a circus; you are right!!

Just like they rolled FCA...Right!!

FCA played well and definitely improved; must be the YELLOW helmet additions that are helping them out. Amazing how the casts offs on FCA and Looney's and Team 91 etc can help a team but weren't be good enough to make Crabs this year. That's says a lot about the programs

Crabs was out coached not out played....

it says the YELLOW helmets had too many 7th graders on their team, so the true 6th graders had to go play somewhere else.

That's funny!!

Haha that's always the excuse when we beat other teams. I will simply say that there is a reason why those kids are no longer playing with Crabs and it has nothing to do with age but has everything to do with talent and work ethic.

And true!!!

"We"? What position do you play for Crabs? As for "for talent and work ethic", unless your kid is the assistant coach's son, your kid is no safer then those you disparage. Another year, another 5 or so replaced.

Ask a Crabs parent how old their kid is and they will tell you his graduation year. Playing older kids in order to beat younger kids is nothing to be proud about.

Those yellow helmets represent everything that is wrong with youth lacrosse - money grubbing club owner who never played the game who sells the dream of D1 glory an a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Disgusting.

Which clubs cut kids from tryouts because they did prefirst or repeated a grade? Right, none.

which club tells parents their son should stay back a grade to play for their club? that's right, Crabs!

First. has your so be played for a crabs team? Second, if so, are you saying on this forum that someone from Crabs told your son to repeat a grade to save his spot on the team?

Knowing the distraction police will converge: has your son played for a crabs team (for a season, not the phony thing flat brim does in the summer); and has a crabs representative asked that your son repeat a grade? I say no way that has happened.

I wouldn't let my kid go near that organization. Owner is a loud mouth.

Your a complete fool if you think RM doesn't encourage kids to reclass. Look how the rosters have had multiple kids suddenly move from one team to younger team at the end of a school year OR in the case of beach lax vs 91 they did it before the school year ended. The whole Baltimore based club scene thrives off this holdback nonsense.
