Better cover #8.

A teams playing B? Not a test

It's a game. Not many of those happening these days.

Live stream Link to BL and STJ today?

12-8 SJC over BL

Can’t beat Spalding if you can’t beat SJC

Will see

CHC 15 Haverford 2 ...

BL will be a middle tier team this year. CH/McD/Spalding/Loy top four...all the rest will be fighting for losing in first round of playoffs

Wow. I think BL beat Haverford by a couple

Spalding tied them. 👀

Please folks these are scrimmage games. Coaches and players should be working on things to get better and not necessarily worry about winning the game. Coaches are looking at seconds and thirds to see what kind of depth they will have we they season starts.

And no one has seen these teams since 2019. It's possible there could be a few surprises this year.

I hear Spalding is going to be really good this year.

LOL

Top Four this year for sure. CH, McD, Loy, and maybe StM might be as good or a couple better .

All teams make the playoffs this year. Spalding will finally get to know what it feels like. 😂

Lids has the playoff t shirt designs. 😛

What is the joke with "Lids" with reference to Spalding?

Good thing is Spalding wont lose to Broadneck this year since AACPS are playing in county only

Broadneck is lucky. This year Spalding would destroy them with their talent and dept.

We will see if the out of state transfer route can keep CH on top. A new model in the MIAA.

Are fans allowed at Maryland or Hopkins games?

CH is just too good for the rest. Why transfer anywhere else?

BL is following the CHC out of state transfer model with their new dorm construction. If you can't beat them ? Join them !

McD had multiple out of state players the last couple of years, and I am not talking about the ones commuting from PA or DE.

And apparently St.P had out of state players living in the coach's home in 2019 (still didn't do much good).

Winning lax games is big money I guess.

If we're just making [ChillLaxin] up:

LB
St M
CH
McD
AS
BL
Gilly
JC
S
MSJ
St.P

Excessive numbers of out of state transfers and/or intense recruiting battles will backfire on these schools when the sons of affluential alumni don't see the field or make the team - Gilman football all over again.

Didn’t end well on Roland Ave for football.

Winning is good for making good alumni. Losing is good for making excuses. Time for the lacrosse teams to battle. Good luck.

The days of local talent for winning Championships are over for the most part, You need to bring in some talent as CH has demonstrated the last few years. BL is getting in on the program with their recent dorm purchase and renovation, McD has picked up bringing in talent in their dorms instead of for so called academic students, like some brainiac will help win a MIAA Championship. Matter of time before others get in on the out of state players or rebel and change the rules. Doubtful they change.

Considering some of the schools are now semi-boarding schools, I don't know how they could change the rules. The rules already forbid "recruiting", but we know that is bull.

Does CH play a close league game this year?

There is nothing wrong with people sending their kids or moving to a location for school. If you can better the chances of success for your family, why not. This is America snowflake. Its how we got started- land of opportunity. We have great schools here, are well located, and yeah, great lacrosse. I say go for it schools- market to the country. Baltimore is least is winning at high school lacrosse (if not much else).

yes...come to Baltimore, the worst armpit on the east coast!

Fake News. Clearly NIKE / US LACROSSE have not been paying attention to #TheMovement.

This will go on the bulletin board at New Cut (right next to all those really nice photos that one dad took).
