Realistic preseason predictions:

1. Spalding- Consensus number 1. This team is incredible. Hopper is the best player in the league. Other teams might as well forfeit.
2. Loyola- This team is going to surprise people. The defense is legit and I think some of those offensive weapons will get hot. Those goalies man.
3. McDonogh—The luck runs out. The team has way too many personalities on and off the field, and I wouldn't get my hopes up again. MM has problems (let's just say ordering exotic dancers for the players after the threepeat wasn't the brightest idea. But, hey, @ChillLaxin do as @ChillLaxin see. McCabe has been fostering this behavior for years now as he is practically MM's daddy). A lot of bad and questionable stuff is going to come out on him. I expect his son to have to step away from the team and those other entitled children to crumble without him. They'll still make the semis.
4. BL- Genuinely detest this team. They can't succeed with these borders. The pedigree of Baltimore laxers outmatches whatever foreign person they're bringing in.
5. Gilman- This team has some weapons. Overall very solid and will win the games they need to win (even Saint Paul's) senior
6. St. Paul's—This offense is legit and an absolute wagon. The defense, on the other hand, no words. It's brutal. They're going to be in a lot of high-scoring games, and they will give up 20 goals in some games. They'll beat those lower teams tho.
7. MSJ- Watched them keep some games real close last year and expect them to pull them out this year. They'll beat the lower teams but lose to the top. Classic 7 seed.
8. Severn - Filler
9. Calvert Hall- Goodbye BK. This is the end of the road. He won't last long after the information on the "parties" he has at his house with the players he houses comes out. But hey, it's the norm at that "institution." Awful program that has been carried by crappy play from other teams. This senior class isn't very promising and I wouldn't keep my hopes too high. That goalie doesn't deserve to be back there. Make your predictions on who the nose candy gets next.
10. Saint Mary's- Might as well fold the program.
11. John Carroll- Complete respect for them sticking around this long.

Feel free to leave any feedback. This is my unbiased opinion

My top three MIAA for this year (Class of '95 @ Susquehanna LAX, so YEAH, I know what I'm talking about):

1. Loyola: I know, hot take. The talent is unreal and they have been playing promisingly in the first few scrimmages.

2. McDonough: Only reason they're not above Loyola is because of MM's severe wh*skey drinkin' fever that has become fairly apparent in the offseason according to his friends and family. He will no doubt be a huge distractor to his child and the rest of the team. From what I've heard, he has been stealing McCabe's NIL money in order to fuel his addiction. Plus, his bourbon of choice is Jack Daniel's (amateur). Seriously praying for him and his family though.

3. Spalding: Besides breeding the biggest DIRTB@GS in the country, they have some talent. Hopefully they can get their act together before the season. Heard that LSM they have who shall not be named has been up to some shady stuff in the off season. Keep an eye on his coordination when he's running the field. He may have broken into MM's stash.

Gameday. The game I am looking forward to most is Loyola vs. Hill Academy. They're coming all the way down from the 51st state of America to take on the Dons. It will be interesting to see if these 20-year-old Canadians can take down a Loyola roster with 2 14-year-old freshmen starting. Loyola's electrifying goalie room will have to step up to beat a maple syrup jacked up kid. Get ready to learn US History in your 7th year of high school next year.

The thing about many of these OOC teams the MIAA play , they are older than the MIAA players. Canadias have always been the oldest and in youth the biggest cheaters of holdbacks.

How bout them Dons? Going into this year it was all about how bad that midfield and attack is. What are they saying now? That number 9 kid man. Respect. Beast. RDR

Let's talk about Spalding. Lemme tell ya, any parent who said the Loyola kids were the problem in that sixes game have to be toking on some of the good stuff. The Spalding kids were starting problems from nowhere, per usual. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the kids on Spalding were drinking before the game to take the edge off. My son said he smelled some twisted tea on some of the other players' breath (typical). Couldn't be my son, because I actually raised him right. I made sure he got in at least 3-4 PBRs before the game, I call it swing lube. Spalding parents, DO BETTER!

Hall with a massive win last night. Coaches kid looks to be the real deal as a freshman. Super strong pipeline of talent heading there over the next two years with a second BK coached FCA team in the pipeline.

All those 28s and (soon) 29s at CH finding out the hard way that it's "family" above all else.

Gonna be a long, eye-opening 4 years for all the kids sold a bill of goods.

Have fun on the bench, JV and F/S!

The Spalding boys are back IAmInsecure up every team. Them new cut boys are different
