why are using the term "hold back dad?"

Wow. That's only one years worth of results and your below 0.500. And I would not exactly call the Fall Md Lax or US Club Lax Jamboree top tier tournaments. Fall NAL? 2-2 with wins against bottom feeders in HoCo elite. Naptown? 2-3 with wins against nothing burgers. Let's not forget about those top tier fall 2021 tournaments where you managed an astounding 3-3 record with wins against teams that were a combined 2-8-4 during the fall. I know, it was football season and you didn't have all the kids at every game. Got it. What's you big marketing strategy to gloss over those results Brad? Thanks for playing tho and please continue to post ambiguous results on your social media outlets.

I can understand why the team MD poster is over analyzing his own team results, but I always find it odd when somebody does such a deep dive into the results of another team. You have issues.

Team MD is good but they are a lot like FCA and other teams where .500 is actually pretty competitive in the Mid-Atlantic and NE. They really wanted to be in the top tier of HoCo and found out it's a big leap. Running a 1 kid dodge time after time as they get older doesn't result in success. I think most of their parents realized they weren't as good as they thought but they are still okay.

What is the deal with WSYL coming back? Same format? No holdbacks have to be with in 100 miles to be on a team?

Very funny LI guy. You know very well that our holdback team won’t qualify and we will use the excuses that it’s too expensive, poorly run, during July 4th and we play better competition in another tournament that we will purposely host during same time to give our team an excuse to get out. Right, no longer can use excuse that it’s in Denver now that it’s in our backyard.

Was actually a serious question. I wonder who will put teams together: Monuments? Black Ops?

WSYL organizers put out a statement a few weeks ago that the event is no longer happening. They did not give a reason, but just patted themselves on the back for running a great event for 6-7 years and bid farewell to the lacrosse world. I expect somebody to fill the void and start it up again, but I can't imagine it will be pulled together in time for 2022. If somebody knows differently, go ahead and post what you know - a lot of folks on this Board would be interested to hear.

Why are people pooping on Team MD? That was some ML/hawks level detest from the one poster.

What did team MD do to anybody lol.

Somebody took it over according to Instagram. worldseriesofyouthlacrosse is set to go on 2022. Regional qualifiers are already listed.

Do you think that only MadLax and Hawks are worth pooping on? News flash, the poop and detest is always directed at the best teams. Team MD is rarely mentioned because people don't care and don't notice them. If they are being attacked and that is your son's team, you should be proud. If they perform well in HoCo this spring, expect more and enjoy it!

Exactly. Hawks, NextLevel, and MadLax are all going through issues, but come spring, I would be willing to bet that those three will still dominate HoCo. But if Team MD is able to break through and beat one of them, then get ready for your players, coaches, parents, and/or owners to be dumped on big time.

Predictions for Spring 2027 HOCO. I'm sure there are a couple teams that are going to be added or eliminated, but I'm going to bet I'm 95% on this. I look forward to being told how wrong these are and who cares about any of the divisions beyond Elite, lol.


Elite

1 Annapolis Hawks
2 Madlax Capital
3 Next Level
4 FCA
5 Crabs
6 Team 91
7 Team Maryland White
8 True Annapolis Green

AAA

1 Sidewinders Black
2 Zingos Black
3 VLC
4 Team Maryland Red
5 Kooper's
6 BLC Blue
7 Madlax DMV
8 True Baltimore

AA

1 ALC Bay Raiders
2 Zingos Blue
3 Sidewinders Volt
4 Cavalier
5 LTLC
6 True Annapolis White
7 Predators MD
8 BLC Orange

A

1 Rockfish Neon
2 Cannon's
3 True Baltimore
4 HoCo Black
5 Rockfish Purple
6 Baltimore Swarm
7 Breakers
8 Ground Control

I know Madlax had a lot of players leave because of the whole BLC thing and Hawks were bought but what is NL going through?

Those look spot on!

Diluted the roster with too many new players who are not HoCo elite level. Good for the owners $$ but not the players.

Well, that is true but pretty sure the coach doesn't play the end of the bench much.

No way Sidewinders moves down. They loaded up and improved over the summer. Last year's spring was an aberration. Predators needs to be AAA at least. Cannons doesn't need an apostophe. As it is, that would be indicative of possession by a singular Cannon. That would be problematic for the league. True Annapolis should have two spots in each league because they offer roster spots to double the size of a normal team. Team Maryland Red needs to swapped with Team Maryland White, but then they should swap rosters as well. The same strategy has been used successfully by MadLAx. Putting both Rockfish in the same division can be a problem if you don't have a passenger in the boat, Ground Control can move up if they can get in touch with Major Tom. Zingos need to explain what a Zingo is. I brought them babies instead of orange slices, for a post game snack, and it turns out I misheard an Australian in regards to their preferred gastronomic delights. Both BLC's are going to to leave everything on the field, literally; since there is 8th grade BLC.. It will be a good time for this year's 6th graders to run on the field and get some swag. Bay Raiders would harken back to when they were AYLC, but why (Y)? True Baltimore will realize that there is not one True resident of Baltimore.

Koopers is gonna get rolled if they go AAA. They lost too many decent players. How many teams does true Baltimore have?

Zingos Blue didn’t win a game in the lowest HOCO division last Spring, were terrible in the Summer and Fall and you have them as second in AA? What are you smoking?

Mr Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I've ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response was there anything that could even be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it.

I wasn't ranking them. They are just numbered to show there are eight teams in each division.

Lol, you're funny Mr. Madison, but I'm sticking with my predictions for the most part.

Sidewinders Black doesn't want any part of Elite after last spring. No disrespect, but they are a solid AAA team. Just curious, who did they "load up" with? They went 2-3-1 , squeaking out wins against AAA teams BLC (6-5) and VLC (5-2). They will play well in AAA and make a run for the Championship.

The 0-6 Preds are a wild card. Although their record would show they could compete in AAA, do they want to play in AAA and be middle of the pack going 4-3 for the season or do they want to go trophy hunting in AA? My guess is they go for the W to keep parents with the checkbooks happy.

I'm going to blame autocorrect for my misspelling, or possibly my Spalding education.

Team MD has been swapping players between teams for years, that's nothing new.

Kind of weird Rockfish having two teams, but ok, good for them. Maybe Purple moves up to AA and LTLC or Cavalier goes to A. Do those teams even exist anymore or were they also bought by True?

Relax, these aren't rankings, just division predictions.

Bad prediction on Zingos Blue. You have a team that didn’t win a game last year in A division jumping up to AA. Makes no sense.

I heard Zingos Blue loaded up over the summer. /s

Certainly didn't beat them.

Spalding huh? Did you have to play for the Hawks too, or was it not required before Phipps? I can't see that Sidewinders' coach being willing to move down. He was strutting all last Spring on social media about being an Elite program.

SW loads up by losing their better players?

VLC, Sidewinders and Team MD are definite AAA teams. Madlax DMV, Preds and Koopers could all swing AAA or AA depending on what they want to do.

Zingos Blue might have loaded up. Just not sure where the new kids are coming from. Not a lot of decent free agent 27s around. They would probably be better off in the A division. The rest of the A looks about right. Ground Control 27s will be in A or get absorbed back into Fallston Rec. If that happens I could see a team like Phantoms (DE) taking their spot.

Elite could be far tighter this year. Hawks goalie and fogo dropped to 2028's: Madlax roster got very thin with one of their best players going to NL; NL doesn't win big games; Crabs got better with a bunch of FCA players transferring over; Team MD will climb to 5th; FCA drops to 6th, Sidewinders make elite while battling Team 91 for 7th or 8th. True gladly goes to AAA to try and win some games.

Hawks lost fogo, not goalie.

Very funny that you think FCA players will have an impact on Crabs. Hawks best FOGO went to Sidewinders. The other held back. Heard they struggled all fall. NL runs away with it this year.

Why would the Hawks fogo leave for Sidewinders? And was the Hawks goalie in the fall the same as the last couple of years? He doesn't look like the same player I remember. Maybe they were playing a different goalie in the game I saw.

I agree with the above. Not sure the FCA kids will improve the crabs a ton. More a change of scenery. But it does leave some holes at FCA. Did FCA 27s ever figure out their coaching situation and will they field a team?

FCA held a special Huddle for the Director, Coaches, Parents and Players to pray for divine intervention.

Nice try!

What do you mean nice try? Wasn’t NL in the championship last year? Not much of a hot take.

Hawks, Crabs, and MadLax will reload with holdbacks and new recruits like they always do. Another team or two may surprise you. It will be a dog fight among several teams, and NextLevel will be right there but will fall short like they always do. And the over-sized diluted roster is not going to help.
