Please this thread to discuss lacrosse in the Mid-Atlantic region for Boys 2026 grads. The original thread is experiencing a bug that we are trying to resolve, so until then, use this new thread. Thank you.

Finally back up & running! What did we all miss ?

What happened to all the talk about AYLC and VLC belonging in the Elite Division. They didn’t even win the AAA division. At least AYLC made the championship. Congrats to next level for proving it is the best team in the lower divisions. Will next level compete in tournaments this summer with the Elite teams?

Thoughts on the NLF Super Series coming up in about 3 weeks? Looks like a great group of teams in the 2026 division. Should be very competitive with a lot of high level youth lax.

Annapolis Hawks (MD)
Bethesda LC Blue (MD)
Big 4 HHH (PA)
Express North Lemma (CT/NY)
Laxachusetts Black (MA)
LI Express Haugen (NY/LI)
Prime Time (CT/NY)
Team 91 LI Orange Storm (NY/LI)
Tigers XXVI (MD)

Hawks
Laxachussetts
91
HHH

91 wins it all

BLC was getting warmed up against the big boys like Saltwater, NXT Philly and True MD last weekend. They should be good to go.

Hawks wins the HOCO Championship. They are fun to watch

Indeed, they are talented and fun to watch. We dropped two to them this year.

Originally, it looked like the Hawks, Lasachusetts and BLC were in the same bracket. That would have been tough. Now Tigers XXVI has moved over in place of Laxachusetts. I don't know anything about them. Does anyone else?

Tigers XXVI are out of Princeton, NJ coached by former Princeton players.

Is it common practice for elite teams to play down during summer season?

What Elite team is playing down?

Saltwater is a rec team, True just started practicing and Ive never seen a good NXT team since my 2010

Well, what does one do when the coaches stand there with their arms folded and the teams is struggling? The difference is Elite and AAA

Next Level has AYLC/PLC's number. Plain and simple. Coached very well to stop what they do and coached even better to beat the defense. AYLC's goalie played like garbage to make matters even worse.
