US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums MID-ATLANTIC LACROSSE MARYLAND FORUM Boys 2022 - 8th Grade Fall 2017/Summer 2018

In joy caring about winning with travel lacrosse this is the last year anyone will really care about it. Its all about college eyes the rest of the way.

in joy? did you graduate K????

DC Express B Team will be better than most HoCO teams save for 5-6 Elite teams. Should be even/beat Madlax and API.

The philly, nj and NY kids are on the Dukes Nationals team. The only kids they are missing from the normal team are the ones that play for FCA, API and 91

No, Shallow Hal, its about winning an MIAA, WCAC, IAC or State title after this. The college stuff will take care of itself: if you're son is good enough, he will get recruited. If your son has collegiate potential (height, speed, skill, field IQ) and continues to develop he will get picked up. Its that simple.

You are a complete moron Bethesda dad. Make sure you plan in the top divisions during the fall and summer tournaments.

Too bad Hawks never played Igoo to see how the two best teams of local kids matched up.

Who is signed up for the Next Level fall league?

No big deal everyone beat API last year.

api is the red headed step child

Api pick up some good long poles , same attack kids and the about same talent at middies . They got 2 face kids but not good enough for elite division for HOCO . The face off kids are good for AA division . Api could drop down

Unless they lost the bulk of the team they will be just fine. I don't see them dropping down at all. Didn't they pick up a holdback goalie and a few more holdbacks. Plus what they had last year.

And they were not good last year

Doesn't matter who they picked up. They could have the best players in the world but they have no one who can coach.

Not with API, but their new Coach is very good highly qualified.

Buggs is an outcast in the lax community so keep on dreaming. Maybe he was a good player 20 years ago, but he hasn't done anything as a coach. Also, the old coach is still involved just like last year, don't fool yourself. API is a [lacrosse] show.

Buggs is coaching this year - right?

New coach in name only. Same characters on the sidelines.

The real question now for API is who will take the pictures?

Buggs hasn't coach in a elite league . He drops teams down..

Not sure where you get information from. Buggs has coached several elite teams at the older levels and has had success . He is also heavily involved in the lax community and has been with Warrior from the very beginning. API will not drop down. He is highly qualified to coach that team. As far as the sideline losers its just unfortunate the rest of us will have to put up with it for another year. Hopefully they will let this coach teach their kids something and embarrass themselves or kids like every other year.

keep drinking that kool aid.

#3 in the World

#8 in hoco. #1 in our hearts!

We had a coach contact from Breakers club. What's the info on them? Thanks.

Buyer beware! They were an ok club until 91 hijacked most of their organization. Now they are really struggling

They went from being a top club..to an ok club to a club not doing very well after Million left them and took what he wanted... But they have always been a very expensive club..

Laxworld 2022 fold?

Not sure about 2022 at Laxworld, but LWLC 2024's can't field a team. Looks like a lot of clubs are struggling to fill rosters.

The LWLC 2021 Coach left right before tryouts so I don't think Laxworld has a 2021 team either. He went to Breakers & I think many of the LWLC boys followed him there.

LWLC 2024 Coach's son went to Looneys 2024 Orange.

Lax World is not a viable club program

Have another cup of API cool-aid.
Buggs is a complete joke of a coach a bad example for teenage boys. He acts like a child often himself.
Once showed up to coach his team halfway through the game when he showed up late after a night of drinking.
Maybe if he can separate his personal life from his work life he can strive to be something more than a glorified figurehead.

Sorry for those LWLC kids and parents Breakers is a joke but enjoy the failed promises

Like getting rescued from the Titanic by the Hindenburg

I view it differently. Breakers will be a "survivor" as clubs like LWLC, Bitmore and others fade into memory. There are, IMHO, too many clubs, and the environment will become one of consolidation. The growth of clubs in the last ten years apparently has outpaced the number of clients available to serve. Whatever the prior experiences at Breakers, perhaps with a new directorship and with greater player participation, the organization might flourish again. Who knows, but at least they will survive along with a handful of others in the Baltimore area and so at least have the opportunity to examine and reexamine itself with hopes of improving. I am not sure that Team 91MD has a long shelf life, along with Team 42, Green Turtle. Less competition will invariably result in better teams, better organizations, and perhaps multiple teams at grade levels which will permit better coaching of basic skills at the second level.

For those of us not "in the know", when did Buggs Combs show up late to a game and how do you know it was due to his drinking and staying out late at night? Was this a recent occurrence or are you simply digging up his past for your own purposes? By the way, were you or your family ever affiliated with API? I am not, but wonder what motivates people on this forum to being so viciously mean-spirited.

So for years the Koopers director dissed holdbacks. Now that he has some he will let them do this? Shame on you Ronny.

Crabs and Team 91 will be the only two AA or Elite Clubs in the next five years....the rest will drop to A level.

Those kids have been playing up since they started. They are 22s on the 21 team. Shame on you anonymous fawn.
