yes we would all love to see the paperwork for a "full ride" .....not a partial scholarship, a Full ride. Doesn't happen

Sounds like somebody is having a bad day! No need to perjure yourself . Tell the truth, He was good, but just not up to Spaldings standards, Now have him HIT THE WALL !!! and soon he will be up to Spaldings standards.

Someone is just upset because not only did he not get a scholarship for his kid - he had to donate some big time $$ to the school, talk half a dozen other 2022 hawks families into enrolling in the dumpster fire that is Spalding high school, and hire the offensive coordinator to work for him - all just so his kid could get some time on varsity. Amazing!

NARRATOR VOICE:
The phrase "Spaldings Standards" appears to reference a conference record of 10-80 in the past decade, a period including multiple winless seasons, losses to public schools, no playoff appearances, and four different head coaches.

Spalding is ranked #40 in top private schools in Maryland. No one is racing to apply to this school. Private school with uniforms. Public schools in the area are a better option.

I can’t believe you all waste so much oxygen.

SP scored 3 quick goals within the first 5 min, then Westminster scored 7 unanswered goals over the next 15 minutes and SP scored none for that entire 15 minutes. SP cycled every player on the bench during the whole game, as did Westminster, except for the 4 starters that were injured. You guys got pushed around the entire game after the first few minutes. Even your head coach made it a point to say that to the Westminster coaches.

Bullis looked incredible at the Geico Championships knocking off Hill and Salisbury. They lost to McDonogh and beat Loyola Blakefield in MIAA games.

Why doesn't Mont Co/DC/Nova have a single league for all the top private schools?

Hahaha. Keep thumping your chest over a scrimmage. You know SP would win a real game, it's all good. Have a great summer!

They don't have an official league but the top 2 leagues and almost all of their teams, IAC and WCAC, play each other during the regular season. But it might be nice to have an end of season invitational like the Geico. I'm not sure if the schools would go for it or not.

All due respect to the great season at Briar Woods but they would get smoked by every team on this list.

Severna Park had a great season too but were crushed at home by MIAA bottom-feeders and are also way too high here.

Great article in the Sun paper yesterday about the Kelly Calver Hall family...... Should be a big asterisk on those championship wins considering all of those wins were state funded. So corrupt.....

State Funded ?? How so ?? Just cause the Ins Co received some monies from the state for Insurance services.

Does sound like some conflicts with Ins Co but not the CH lacrosse team. Thats a stretch !

Looks like Annapolis Hawks 2022 is on the top of the Maryland club rankings. Spalding boys gonna make some noise this summer. Like always.

If you believe in those rankings you probably still believe in Santa Claus also.

Ripley is in the corner choking his chicken while looking at some club lacrosse rankings list...

Nothing wrong with Santa.

I’m sure you would like to watch that. 👀. Hater

^^^ its funny because its true ^^^

Oh, so more than one school in the MIAA does recruit. Interesting........

And Severna Park is much better than Westminster. But who cares... this is just one writers opinion, who probably didn't even see all of these teams play.

Westminster beat Severna Park 7-3 in a preseason scrimmage the week before regular season started. Westminster had several starters who were injured for that scrimmage.[/quote]

It was 4-0 SP in the first half when the starters were all playing. Nice try though.[/quote]

Not really thumping my chest, just addressing an incorrect comment with no factual basis behind it with a comment that actually has relevent, supporting factual information. I know SP would not have won in a real game this year because I saw the matchups and am familiar with both teams. If you dont believe me, ask anyone from Spaulding. Have a great summer!

They all recruit

Kelly and his “questionable” influence on UMMS is the front page headline in the Sun today. Not good for Calvert Hall and FCA.

No, but it sounds like your OP shorts and croakies are really, really tight. Hope you had a good weekend sunfish racing!

Looks like politics prevails once again at UA. Certain names sticking out like a sore thumb. I seriously doubt Baltimore will make the playoffs. What a shame.

Looks like a pretty diverse list, where's the favoritism?

They need to change the name to the UA Private school team. If you are public school kid you have no chance.

What players were cut that should have made it in your opinion?

Lets not over dramatize the situation. There is ONE public school kid on roster who does Faceoffs.

And lets not over dramatize the " Private School Team ". Very few private schools are representative. Its just the MIAA A schools that have players making up this UA team .

I would say its more like a MIAA A all star team with one outlier.

UA Baltimore team will be good this year but not great. Talent level isn't like last year but that's understandable as its difficult to have the "best" team every year.

All in all the kids that were picked were the better players at the tryout.

No doubt, there are some amazing and well deserved players who played on the squad. And at the same time, there are some definite head scratchers along with a few who have never truly performed at a high level but seem to be "entitled" to making this team time for one reason or another. Its all good though, as the best mindset is for the majority of kids to treat this as a "look" and not to worry about getting selected due to the politics.

Any feedback from the Command tryouts last night?

Let’s of talent on the fields

GI Joe's son was on my son's team. He needs to HIT THE WALL. That, and stop holding the ball for 30 seconds each possession and doing nothing. Others are trying to make this team too

Which players do you feel are "entitled" who made the team. Just trying to understand the process. I have heard or seen most of these kids names from watching and reading about MIAA lacrosse this spring. There are a few names that are new to me.

That is for sure. But Team was already picked for most players . 5-8 spots available at the most. These arent true tryouts in a sense. They are known all stars for the MIAA along with a few spots available for the rest of players, including other MIAA players,

True tryout would bring in out of town coaches who would evaluate talent for that day. Which frankly is hard to do in one day. Thats why it is more all Stars who they know along with a few open spots.

Of course there are some head scratches. Many top MIAA players this year are on the team., even if they dont have a great tryout, everyone knows their talent.

If you think this is a true tryout , it isnt. It is a tryout for a few spots only. Most of players talent is already known by coaches from school and club. No big deal. You still have a shot, just a small one if you are not known. If you are known, a much better shot.

With all due respect, you are disrespecting Briar Woods.

I am curious to see how this goes tonight to see if it is just about tryouts or your rep coming in. My son is an attackmen, doesn't have a name, never played for a top club, not at a top private. He played against a team that had a top name kid. My son had 3 goals and 2 assists and this young man had 1 asst. I am not saying my son is better than this kid but anyone just watching that game would name my son the better player that game.
