express, i guess they didnt call you?

I’m going Hawks undercover

Down here teams go by their team name, not the initials of the club owner.

Serious question - which team showed the best sportsmanship?

None jump out at me

Oh. I'm bummed. Wish I could pay 4k to have my kid play on a team of 35 that's always adding kids instead of coaching up what they have.

No one down here cares about Express. You guys are so consumed with trying to be as good as MD you would let the UMD mens college team run a train on your wife if you though it would give Johny "that edge"

I am not going to disagree too much with this list; the holdbacks at Crabs have really made a difference as have the new additions to Looneys. I think Madlax has the best attack at the 2026 level. I also think these teams are catching up to the hawks; kids are getting bigger and stronger and the difference between hawks and the other top teams is diminishing.

Thanks Madlax attack dad.

You always bring up this topic, something you want to confess? It is ok no judgement here.

Good luck with that.

You're from up north and you know who the top 3 Hawks players are?[/quote]

Would be funny seeing Hawks kids play for MC![/quote]

What is MC?[/quote]

Vin, the obsession of you NY'ers with MD lacrosse at this age group is beyond weird.

Nobody cares about Express down here until our kid's team plays them.

Not a bad idea. Try and use the Express brand name to draw kids in, make a few grand and weaken some MD clubs making the Express road to the finals easier.

Crabs 25 dad whose kid is now a winner on the 26 team.

If you get a kid from down here to jump on that joke, trust me, they are not making any team weaker, they weren't on one to begin with. This is not Long Island, no one cares about Express. Don't make me send you for my shine box Joey

Ha, no kidding. Crabs are closest behind Hawks.

Crabs needs to get past Looney’s first.

You do realize in the coming years these teams are all going to routinely beat and get beaten by each other. Hawks, Crabs, Looneys, BLC, MadLax. Just be happy if you have a kid on one of these teams and stop the chest pumping.

And that would be a no.

☝ Thank you!

Absolutely teams rankings will change and they will lose and win against each other for next few years. But.... facts are facts and my response stands.

Your facts.

what exactly is this debate about?

No one remembers

Hawks the best by far, Crabs catching up with more holdbacks and all the rest .....well slowly sinking away.

Sorry, 2026 hasn't been published yet (the link was 2023)

This link works fine. Only two local teams in the top 10 http://lacrossemagazine.com/2026-bo...ngspowered-by-lacrosse-magazinereal-dat/

Hawks #1 again

Who cares!! Is your son enjoying the journey? Is he getting better on and off the field? Who gives a $&@; about 7th grade rankings??? Give me a break.

Sorry your son didnt make an elite team. Better luck next year.

MadLax is in the top ten but not Looneys or Crabs?

Lol sorry but he plays for an elite team but honestly what do these rankings actually mean? The only ones that care about them are the insane parents screaming from the sidelines. These kids just want to have fun and compete; would it be nice if YOU and some others would allow that?? #livingthroughurson #urakeyboardwarrior #uneverplayedlax

Ha! I thought that the Hawks dads would take a break from embarrassing themselves for Christmas, but apparently I gave them too much credit!

Should Hawks be embarrassed about being ranked #1 AGAIN? Looneys and crabs not in top 10 because they spent the fall beating up on the zingos and roughriders. Crab holdbacks not enough and Looneys can’t find enough good players to compete outside of Baltimore. Are we going to see Crabs or Looneys in WSYL in July? Hawks will be there and maybe Madlax too.

Saw the Hawks against the crabs; that game could have gone either way so keep pounding your chest and bashing all the other clubs. The gap between hawks and some other teams in the Baltimore area is quickly closing.

iIf selling your soul and turning kids into embarrassing [ChillLaxin] who have to repeat a grade for lax is what you got do, then by all means, [ChillLaxin] on and win some lax games

This is rich. I bet those humble dads at Looneys, Crabs, BLC.......FCA would be quiet and wish peace to everyone. GTFOOH. The minute another team would make that number 1 spot dads would be flying banners over AA and Baltimore county letting people know. This entire 2026 classes is filled with nut bag parents . Present company included. You only single out the parents of a team you can't beat because it hurts and you know it's the only way for you to get some things off your chest. It ain't happening on the field. . My suggestion would be to move on and focus on teaching your kid to win in lacrosse and not the keyboard.

“Focus on teaching your kid to win in lacrosse”. Everything wrong in youth lacrosse summed up in one statement. SMH
