H This "rough spot for the program" is, I think, a concoction by FCA parents who have trouble with FCA "not being the best of the best." If your ego can't deal with your son's team's performance (#4 in HoCo elite-the best league in the country - and probably a top 25-30 team nationally), you need to evaluate how wrapped up your life is, in middle school lacrosse. This is a very good outcome for your son, and tracks well (statistically) into the future. "Oh they're struggling." Every time I've talked to an FCA Blue or White parent after a close victory, even, I hear, "Wow the program is really down this year." Really? Is it? Even FCA white @ 2028 is maybe a top 50 team nationally and will end up as the #2? team in AAAA HoCo. You want to talk about a struggling program, look at MESA MD who folded, Arden Diamondbacks who have announced they will fold, True DC who was still actively recruiting players in February (!!!!!) or Team 91, whose 5 teams in HoCo will likely surrender 500 points this HoCo season. Love or don't love FCA.......but the brand and the program are just fine lol. Ok… FCA parent.

Love or don't love FCA.......but the brand and the program are just fine lol. Ok… FCA parent. I don’t think this person was not claiming to be a parent. We beat FCA, but they’ve got a nice group of players, and well rounded. The Hawks are loaded, granted with lots of 2027’s, but who cares— they’re LOADED— and beat them down. Keep in mind, 95% of these kids have not hit puberty yet. This will really, really change things. Ok, so I’m a Madlax dad. We played the Crabs yesterday. Decent game, but I will tell you this— they’ve got some serious athletes that are getting ready to hit puberty. That team will be legit in 1-2 years, mark my words. They’re already decent, but I’m just saying— 6-7 of those kids are going to hit puberty and be animals. Hawks clearly the deepest top to bottom. Madlax pretty deep, but really searching at FO. I think they were 2-18 against the Hawks and MAYBE 3-13 against NL. Makes for a long season at those % rates. 50/50 at Faceoff and they own NL, have very good chance against Hawks. But 50/50 seems like winning Lotto at the moment against those two FOGO’s.
