Boy's Latin tried to get my son to come to the school for lacrosse and on the visit he saw kids in the bathroom ripping a pen. Does this happen at all the private schools?

The elitist BS needs to stop. Its like BL, McD & CHC should never lose-even when they paly each other it should end in a tie... Everybody else is mediocre or bad. As far the visions of grandeur, that starts with the parents not looking at all 11 schools when deciding. Due to logistics, legacy, tuition cost, academic interest etc.. the list will be narrowed. Then you have to be realistic and figure out if and where he can actually see the field and be developed as a player. That may mean a little longer commute, but be open. Watch out for the coach BS meter that will promise you the world just because he does not want you going somewhere else. Please note: BL & CHC only play about 18 tops off of the 50 man-some games less. There is treasure that would benefit other schools from player 19-30. The rest will never see the field. I use to put Loyola into this same category because they are a 50 man roster as well-but not recently based on recruiting. McD's roster is not a 50 man and the fall off is drastic after the top 13 or so play. By getting more talent on the field the whole league becomes more competitive. Parents if you do not follow this blueprint to some degree please don't come on here and complain about your bad experience.

Boy's Latin is known for not disciplining lacrosse kids for wrong doing. They can get away with anything. It's sad they are not held to the same standard as the rest of the school.

I'm the opposite of whatever you call a Spalding fan, but it's been clear since at least the recruitment of the 2027s 18 months ago that the hierarchy for "great" and "good" AA county athletes is Spalding>STM>Severn. This is true for the 2028s as well, as the best Hawks kids are headed to Spalding and BL, the decent Hawks and Clippers kids are headed to DC privates and St. Marys (some of whom are leaving Severn, new DC players are leaving St Marys also), and Severn is picking up public school kids (Broadneck and Sev Park) and a few Catholic school kids pretty strictly from AA County.

Question-

CHC parent here.
Why do I continuously see other teams posting TikToks and Instagram Reels about my son? I find it to be extremely disrespectful how other teams treat my son. There is no need for this type of rage to be taken out on my boy simply because he is committed to an institution. What goes through these kids minds when they go to garbage other players? It is generally disappointing seeing the type of content coming from BL, McD, SP, LB, etc. I think there truly needs to be a reform in the league about the way other teams control social media. Please consider talking to your boys about sportsmanship and the need for gamesmanship across the league.

This is not exactly true. 3 of the top Hawks 27 players chose Severn. Two remained at StM. One chose Bullis and one CHC.

Spalding did not get a single top level player from that team.

Every time I pop on this particular forum I feel so happy I don't live in the Baltimore area (even though I like the city).

Spalding got 2 very good poles which makes sense as the Hawks head coach works with the defense at Spalding.

Nah, Every year it's the same thing. Moths to a flame.

With visions of grandeur, parents send their kids to a lax mill like Loyola and Calvert Hall that carries 50 kids on their varsity roster. Parents ignore the other 50-60 on JV and Fresh soph because, "Sonny will make it."

He doesn't. The kid gets buried on JV, and then quits or is cut by the time they are juniors.

Oh well. The good news is the parents can always complain here.

McDonogh parent here,

Was watching film for the upcoming game against Chc. I quickly realized how #22 is a complete cancer to the team. His name is Preston, Ive heard alot of rumors about him and this girl. No charges yet, but heard there coming soon. Kid is a complete hammerhead, and a terrible human. So glad the law is getting involved with this.

Name the greatest coaching staff that runs 3 poles on the faceoff and 2 poles on EMO

Is the MIAA officiating worse then its ever been? There seems to be a different set of referees and they are not very consistent across the board. What has happened to the league

St Marys. Hilarious.

Oh good, John Carroll Dad is back for another year.

Do any miaa teams play more than 20 kids during xompetitive games?

Especially in really tight games.

Look at college box scores. Most teams average about 22-24 kids getting in competitive games.
