interesting to see there is a Hawks/FCA lovefest apparently

interesting to see there is a Hawks/FCA lovefest apparently

Follow me here buddy. I’ll go slowly.

This started by talking about the top teams from the DMV (Hawks, ML, NL, FCA and whoever else) playing the top teams from LI.

1. Madlax has certainly pulled roster shadiness in the past - but the only way your point makes sense is if you postulate the Capital team will pull up kids from the DMV team. That won’t happen. They could fly in a kid from Texas, I guess. I put nothing past their coach but I don’t see it for this hypothetical.

2. True Annapolis to my knowledge has never done this. The rest of the True teams are out of scope for what we were talking about.

3. No one cares about Nationals - again this is about DMV VS LI.

Swarm, Breakers and the like - they do what they have to do. They wouldn’t be in this anyway.

Are you still confused?

I love all the drama queens on this board. Kids just want to play lacrosse. There's nothing interesting about it.

Why are there * on surge schedule and leading edge?
I know it’s a 4th game for them both but does that * mean anything else? Will they still play in championship if either are in 1st place?

How does Madlax have a 13 year old on a 2028 team?? That’s 2 years older than most 6th graders. That’s crazy.

Within the rules. Time to toughen up and play.

Toughen up? I assume you mean the 13 year old playing with kids his age and not dropping down to play younger kids?

He’s really 13?

Can’t tell if trolling at this point with the way this board behaves.

I think the real thing is he needs to speed up. He’s not exactly fleet of foot.

It’s funny because my 8th grader is 13… those boys are an entirely different level then old 47.

Usually vocal MadLax parents on here have not even tried to deny it, so . . .

13 year olds should be playing at a minimum in 7th grade. Most 13 year olds are in 8th grade. Either the kid is a doofus or the parents are. Either way, just plain cheating. And the dad will be the loudest to cheer his son scoring goals on 11 year old

Fake news

LI parent here. Just making sure what I am reading is correct, Madlax has a 13 year old on their 2028 team?

Yes. Apparently he was and cross checked a kid so hard he was throwing up. Guess that’s the role of a 13 y/o on a 2028 team. Stay classy MadLax.

WCS parent here. If he is really 13 it’s ridiculous.

He crosschecked one of our kids during our game and the kids head literally bounced off the turf. Totally unsafe. Kid could have had a concussion.

Wow. I’m speechless that you guys over there are OK with a 170 pound teenager hurting kids at this age.

Nov 2008

He cross checked a Hawk late and from behind last year, kid broke his arm. MadLax parents are as dirty as the kids, where do you think they learn it?

Haha, that’s rich. Someone says toughen up when they play their kid down. Gone one!

#47 broke the Hawks Fogos arm at the end of the HOCO championship game on a really dirty play. Unbelievable.

Where are the Madlax parents at?? Are you guys ok with this. No 13 year old should be in 6th grade. Just shouldn’t happen. I’d be embarrassed for my kid if that’s the case. If he’s a Nov 2008 birthday, he’s almost a year older than the oldest kids on the Hawks, who catch some unwarranted holdback criticism. Hawks don’t have any large kids like that that have gone through puberty. Checking a birth certificate won’t do anything because we’re grade based… but rest assured they can get called out for it vocally. Kids not even that good to begin with

LI parent here. We have players on our 2028 teams who just turned 11. The 2009 bday are tuff enough but now a 2008! Absolutely gross.

Hawks holdback criticism is warranted but carry on. Nearly all of your best players are 27s.

But no need to distract here.

That much of an age gap is just crazy and indefensible.

I get it - a fall birthday pre first kid will be 18-24 months older than on age. That’s within the terrible rules. But it’s competitively laughable.

Disgusting Trash!!! They will eventually get taken out to the garbage where they belong!

My kid is 11 until March, so I’m not a holdback parent. But you all have lost your mind. Obviously, there are holdbacks. Madlax has a few (less than half), as do a lot of teams including the Hawks. The cut off date is September 1. So if a kid was born in the months of September, October, or November, and he was held back one year, he’s 13. If he’s on age, he is 12 or 11. Get a grip.

And LI dad— if your kid just turned 10, he’s a prodigy, as he should be in 5th grade if his birthday is after Sept 1st. Congrats.
