Hawks are out there with the entire eastern shore and southern MD up to DE to snag players from.
Huge recruiting area + oldest roster = a terrific team.
They will be very hard to beat until 8th grade when they will come back to the pack.
Yes, they have exclusive access to the hotbed of Delaware lacrosse! Other teams only get pipelines from Virginia and Maryland’s western shore, two of the worst states on the seaboard for lacrosse and athletes in general.
Would love to hear you describe supply and demand.
Most of the clubs playing in HoCo have rosters from 1-2 counties only, and are competing with 5-10 other clubs in that same county. Kelly Post doesn't have a kid traveling more than about 10 miles to practice. Madlax, maybe 20-25 miles.
Whereas On the eastern shore, the best 2 players at every MS/HS have two "competitive" tryout options: Hawks and 302. Driving 1-2 hours each way to practice. It's a nice big geography to work with. And to boot, 302 gets about 1/2 of their players from Wilmington DE private/boarding schools, and Hawks gets a ton of their players from right in Annapolis (and 30 miles south, north and west not including the entire eastern shore).
