I have a son who is in 8th grade who is a decent player. I am considering sending home to Spalding or Severn. Interesting in hearing various opinions as to which school should provide the most development for my son, as well as be most competitive team during the 22 to 26 seasons. Once the 22 class leaves spalding will be irrelevant(as if they haven’t already been irrelevant). They’ve also got a lot of daddy ball and nepotism going on in their program so take that for what you will. I don’t know too much about their coaches but after seeing some of their games and the amount of talent they had(as far as kids going to college) their performance was very disappointing. Severn is a far better school and I know their 23/24 classes are very solid. Their coach is relatively new but I’d say he’s definitely a better hc than Phipps. You need to watch Severn and Spaulding practice several times. You also need to watch how the staff interacts with the players during practice and games. You know your kid and what type of teaching/ coaching style he will respond to and a good way to determine which program is the right fit is to watch and listen to the different staffs.

Severn occasionally makes the MIAA playoffs. Spalding doesn’t. The only real lacrosse program in AA County is St. Mary’s. What else do you need to know?

Don’t tell the spalding homers and hawks dads it will trigger them. Then they’ll say your son isn’t good enough to be on their team if you say they won’t make the championship.

I’ll go ahead and assume you care about academics as much as lacrosse. Spaulding is not much more then a public school. StM is average compared to most privates. Severn sitting on top of AACO by a long shot. Look at were students matriculate to from Severn. I don’t just mean athletes the entire student body.

St Marys works very hard to be great. Severn is figuring it out. Spalding plays whack a mole and lets boosters dictate the program to benefit their own kids. Calvert Hall has it figured out and has the winning culture. McDonogh is in it every year. BL has too many cooks in the kitchen and no leadership. St Pauls has quit. Loyola has a lot of talent but needs better coaches to help the HC. Gilman wants everyone to play and make sure no ones feelings are hurt. St Joe and John Carroll are hopeless in the A division. Only Calvert Hall, Mcdonogh, BL, and Loyola have a chance. St Marys can sneak in every so often. Everyone else is along for the ride.

You just keep on proving everyone’s points. Do you really not see the irony in what you’re saying? Spalding dads and coaches have gotta be the biggest clown show in the MIAA.

You’re gonna be pretty sad when you and your son are sitting at home in May knowing you should’ve never went to Spalding. But man you’ve really got a warped sense of reality if you think anyone wouldn’t make spalding’s team. No reasonable person would ever send their kid to spalding because it’s an awful school with even worse lacrosse. It’s a shame the hawks/spalding experiment won’t work because of certain dads ineptitude.

Any thoughts on Annapolis Area Christian? I know it's a very small school and probably not much for lax. My kid is a 2024 currently attending our zoned public HS (Old Mill). He's an excellent student, talented musician, and a solid lax player who wants to be recruited, but isn't exactly D1 material. I looked over the AACS marketing materials, and was impressed by the colleges the graduates have attended (i.e. every Ivy, service academies etc.) and 99% acceptance rate into 4 yr unis. Thanks for any feedback you have.

Pray a season happens this spring! All the kids work too hard for another season to be taken from them. If a season gets canceled would clubs just continue and have similar tournaments like the NHSLS on weekends with High school teams playing under another umbrella - If so head coaches need to be allowed to coach teams

Hopefully there could be a HOCO league or MMLL type league for school or club teams
