They are a fine "B" conference school. There should be no comparison to an A conference school. Both Curley & Indian Creek lost to a lower tier A school this year by 11 goals each. Stay where you are.

Gilman should to re-evaluate their entire athletic department. The Headmaster and Board are anti competitive sports.

Gilman will drop to B conference for all sports within the next 3-4 years.

Next year's MIAA preseason rankings:

SP: Almost everyone is back with the exception of their strong LSM. This coaching staff is serious about winning it all next year.
CHC: They lose some key defenders and offensive threats but just re-load. They will be in the mix.
SM: Strong offense returning. Missing most top defenders and a keeper. However, will re-load from a strong JV program.
McD: Missing a majority of starting defenders and a keeper. Offense only loses a couple middies. Will make semis again.
Severn: Almost everyone is back. Depth will be an issue as always but they will look to dominate FOs.
Boys Latin: Despite losing a lot, they just re-load as always. Keeper will be tough to replace.
Loyola: Lost their two best AA poles. They were anemic on offense and at the X. A top six finish for them would be great.
Gilman: Talent gap is too big to overcome for any coach especially one not empowered to or experienced at recruiting.
JC: Big strides this year with the victory over CHC. If they keep the recruits home, they will be a force.
MSJ: Young team that will knock off some of the Conference's more storied programs in the next couple of years.

It did seem odd that the former coach was there for a year and got out quick.

He saw the writing on the wall. Can’t blame him. He was used to Haverford.
Was also the AD at Haverford

I played with Nodie at Washington College. He left Gilman to take what amounts to his dream job - HC at his alma mater. Don't talk about things you don't know about...

He left one previously great program for another.
Both don’t have the right admins in place to be competitive in their conferences.
MIAA and Centennial titles are many years out of reach for both schools.

Not the best lacrosse at times but some kids can play. I think that St Mary’s had a starting attackman the was in the B conference as a freshman

Yes, Nodie is working his magic at Washington College just like he did at Gilman with a 10-loss, 4-win season this year. What a dream job he’s doing. LoL
Maybe he can hire Gilman’s ‘solid’ grade-school-level lacrosse staff for next year and start a Dream Team in Chestertown.

Noodle is a claim jumper. Leaves one job after another. Had all this talk coming to Gilman and then left. His coaching claim to fame continues at Washington College. Gone within a year or two. Watch

No Spalding, Rumors were Spalding headed to B after this year with Gilman joining soon thereafter, Is that what you are telling us

I know Gilman and Washington haven’t been relevant in over 20 years. And both schools don’t have the desire to be relevant again.

But maybe if we can go back to the 1950s-70s when only a dozen schools played lacrosse, they could be good again.

I don't have a dog in the fight but I think you can make a pretty good argument Spalding was the third best team in the Conference at the end of the year after McD and BL. In any case the top six teams were all pretty evenly matched. Hats off to all six of the playoff coaching staffs!

Third best lol. Lost to McDonough 2x. Lost to BL. Lost to Calvert Hall. Beat STM by 1 goal probably best win all season.
No playoff wins.
Spalding will have no seniors that will start next year and it’s back to the bottom of the league. No goalie no fogo. No mids no attackman and No defense.

Gilman, like WAC and Hopkins, will never be good at lacrosse. WAC because why go there? Hopkins again why go there where crime is deplorable. Gilman like small private schools will only be competitive again once the administration, board and the athletic program is restructured with a plan like McD , BL and CHC.

Great question, the answer is, it depends. If you're son's really good (top 2 or 3 at his position in Hoco Elite or a just a freak athlete) and the HC of the Program doesn't know you, then it could be very worthwhile, ie a coveted admissions slot and if you're at the right school, some aid, to attend and get noticed. If you're son is anyone else, it's a money grab just like the college prospect days are. I do believe putting your athletic kids in highly competitive lacrosse camps and scrimmages helps them determine whether they want to commit more time and effort at getting better. More of a self actualization exercise than prospecting though and clearly not free.

Makes sense. So then where do the coaches find middle schoolers? Do they just take who shows up and have a tryout and roll with it?

I know crabs and FCA have kids they are pointing to BL and CHC. I’d imagine the hawks and stm and Spalding are similar.

But what about everywhere else? I’m relatively new to the area and trying to understand the best way to get kids in front of the coaches.

Depends on your objective:

MS admission?

HS admission?

Getting "recruited" and thus 10% off tuition if he makes varsity in 9th?

It also depends on how well your son is doing in other facets of sports and academics. If he is playing AAA ball or above, and he has a 3.75 GPA or above, he's going to get into any (ALL) of the MIAA schools. Especially if he has a second sport or a musical instrument. Or a legacy student.

If he is not rocking all those things, you should probably get him in front of the coaches of his favorite 2-3 schools whenever possible. Lax may be what gets him into the school of his choice. And maybe that nice 10% tuition discount if he's one of the 4 kids who makes varsity in 9th grade.

Not useful. When you get to the high school, your kid will be replaced by a new kid who has reclassed.

Get use to ridin the pine @ CHC & BL unless you are a top top player. They will always accept you but rarely if ever play you otherwise. Consider other programs that will allow you to develop on the field. Consider schools that carry 30-35 on varsity roster. You will have a better shot. Good luck.
