If you say so. Keep an eye on SPSG and Century will be in it to win it as well.

great game yesterday at McDonogh, vs Garrison Forest School. McDonogh pulled out a real close game 13-11. at one point the game was 10-9, and Garrison scored, but the goal was called back for shooting space foul. McDonogh ended up stopping the ensuing shot and scored on a fastbreak. McDonogh then went to a stall ball approach to kill the clock.

Looking forward to seeing how Mount de Sales does against McD this Saturday. The new coach looks like he has the team firing on all cylinders and they can really show their growth and development under him. I’m really looking forward to the draw middies’ matchup – that’s going to be back and forth all game. And with the experienced senior leadership on defense this year – they will definitely show their metal.

This will be a good barometer for Mount de Sales to see how well this season will progress.

I have to disagree. MDSA is on an upward trajectory. The new coaches are breathing new life into this program. It is really starting to gel. The D is tough as nails and there are some middies that can really move the ball in transitions. There are sniper feeders on attack with tall girls that can finish. This is going to be closer than everyone thinks.

Is McD does not win by at least 10, consider it a major victory for MDSA. The athletes at the 2 schools are in completely different leagues, and new coach is not in Chris Robinson's league..fact

DeSales is coming together as a team - they just had two close losses. The girls could finally be buying into the new system. It probably will not be long until they get over the hump and start firing on all cylinders. It would not surprise me if that happens during the next game or two. They could end up surprising some people.

Now that the high school season has almost come to an end, I would like to throw out an option for those senior players that still haven't found a college lacrosse home yet. My daughter plays for Anne Arundel Community College and they had a very good season this year, making it to the national semi-finals. AACC is just a couple of good players away from getting back to the national tournament next season and I know there are quite a few good players in the Annapolis/Baltimore area who are wanting to continue to play college lacrosse while getting a great education at the same time, at a nice low price. AACC has a long history of players who have moved on to 4 year schools, too. Also, AACC's women's lacrosse team is D1 in the NJCAA and has the option of giving an athletic scholarship. Let me say again, I am a parent and am not affiliated with the school or team, officially. But, I do know they are good and can get better with a couple of good players. We all know that there's always the player who changes her mind in the fall or doesn't go back to the college after winter break, wants to stay local or the family has financial limits. AACC is looking for you too. If interested in staying local and playing, getting a great education and spending less money for it is something you may be interested, please go to the AACC Athletics webpage and send the coach a message via the recruit questionnaire.

The new McDonogh coach is the Director of Boarding at the school. Curious how she still has a job after what went down there. Just expelling the kids involved is not sufficient. Some adult should be held accountable for what went on. I am sure the school will be sued by the parents of the Freshman boys involved.

Since you are clearly very concerned about this, maybe you should speak with her parents to get the answers you need. I’m sure they would love to discuss this with you. If it doesn’t affect you why do you care what level she is playing on? Seriously, you must have something better than this to worry about.

Taylor Cummings has been named the new McDonogh varsity lacrosse coach.




We would like to take this opportunity to thank Nancy Love for stepping in as the interim Head Coach of the girls varsity lacrosse team for the 2018 season. Nancy went above and beyond the call of duty and did an outstanding job along with her assistants, Taylor Cummings '12, Mary Beth Todd '02, and Eva Winiarski. We will be forever grateful to Nancy for her time, expertise, and love for the team. We know the girls will always remember how she made them feel—valued, important, and proud to be a part of a special legacy.



After 14 years of complete dedication to the team, Nancy has decided it is time to step away from her role as a varsity coach. Although, she is quick to add that she will always be there to support the girls and the coaches off the field in any way that would be helpful. Nancy will continue her administrative responsibilities as Associate Head of Upper School and Director of Boarding.



As we look to the 2019 season, we are happy to announce that Taylor Cummings will be the new Girls Varsity Lacrosse Head Coach. She will also teach physical education classes beginning this fall. Taylor was a Golden Eagle during her high school years at McDonogh, playing varsity soccer, basketball, and lacrosse. She was also The Baltimore Sun's Athlete of the Year in 2011 and 2012. Taylor went on to the University of Maryland where she led the Terps to two NCAA tournament titles and was the first-ever three-time winner of the Tewaaraton Award, which is presented annually to the most outstanding American college lacrosse player. Since graduating from Maryland, Taylor has focused her attention on growing the game of lacrosse and hosting clinics and camps. She is also Regional Director for WPLL Futures, a national program for high school girls that focuses on lacrosse, character, and leadership.



Mary Beth Todd and Eva Winiarski will continue to be assistant coaches. Mary Beth, who was a standout soccer, basketball, and lacrosse player at McDonogh and played soccer at the University of Delaware, is Head of our Physical Education Department, a dorm parent, and a member of McDonogh's Athletic Hall of Fame. Eva, who played lacrosse at Drexel University and was captain of the 2017 team, teaches Middle School language arts and coaches Middle School field hockey and basketball.



Please join us in thanking Nancy for everything she has done for the girls lacrosse program over the years and welcoming Taylor back to the Nest in her new role as Head Coach! We are confident that Taylor's knowledge of the game, as well as her passion, work ethic, and boundless energy, will have a positive impact on the girls and the program in the years to come.



-------------------------------------------------------



I hope you are having a fantastic ending to the 2018 school year and are enjoying all of the festivities that come along with it. I've met some of you through assisting with this year's varsity program and others from various camps and clinics, but I wanted to take a moment to personally introduce myself to the McDonogh girls lacrosse community as a whole.



For those of you I haven't met, my name is Taylor Cummings, and I am excited to be the new Head Coach of the Girls Varsity Lacrosse program. I graduated from McDonogh in 2012 and went on to play at the University of Maryland for the next four years. After graduating in 2016, I started my own company that provides lacrosse training through camps and clinics across the country. I also play for the U.S. Women's National Team.



My most recent job, however, is one of my very favorite experiences. This spring, I had the incredible honor of working with McDonogh's varsity program under my former coach and incredible mentor, Nancy Love, and alongside two other amazing coaches and people, Mary Beth Todd '02 and Eva Winiarski. Along with our group of unbelievably talented young women, we had an incredibly successful season.



As you can probably tell, lacrosse has most certainly become my life. It has not only kept me healthy and fulfilled my competitive drive, but it has been the vehicle through which I have learned some of life's challenging lessons. I've had my share of successes and failures on and off the field, and I have been able to navigate all of them because of everything I've learned through this sport. More so, over my years of playing and coaching, I've had incredible opportunities to form relationships, friendships, and memories that will last a lifetime.



Mary Beth, Eva, and I are tremendously invested in providing these same opportunities and helping players become successful young women at McDonogh and beyond. We are committed to using lacrosse to help student-athletes learn life lessons, build character, and develop invaluable and intangible skills they will use throughout their lives. In addition, we want every player to have fun and grow as a person and player each and every day.



This philosophy is not only relevant to the varsity program but to every level and age group within the McDonogh community. I want you to know that the coaching staff and players are looking forward to sharing our love of the sport with girls of all ages (PK-12) through on-field instruction and meaningful off-field interaction.



I am so honored, humbled, and immensely thankful for this incredible opportunity, and I cannot wait to get started. If you have any questions or would like to meet with me in person, please feel free to reach out. The more we can all get to know one another, the better our program will be as a whole. Thank you for your time. GO EAGLES!!



Sincerely,



Taylor Cummings '12

according to UALax website:

UNCOMMITTED SHOWCASE

Each year there are very talented players who are on the cusp of making the regional Underclass teams, but are not selected. Aside from the 22 players chosen for each team, four uncommitted (to college) players from each of the graduating classes will be invited to compete and showcase themselves in front of scores of coaches at Towson University on Under Armour All-America Weekend.

A total of 48 players in each of the graduating classes – 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 – for both boys and girls will be invited to participate event weekend. Players will be selected by the regional evaluators and coaches after the final regional teams are picked. Teams will be divided accordingly.

*You must have participated in the regional tryouts to be eligible for the Underclass Showcase.

I'm not sure if everyone is aware, but there is currently a NCAA proposal to change the recruiting calendar to allow contact starting 6/15 after 10th grade and visits and offers to begin 8/1. This would change the current date of 9/1 of junior year for all contact. This proposal has been recommended by the NCAA Student-Athlete Experience Committee for all sports but Football, Basketball, Baseball and Hockey. This proposal was approved for a final vote in April by the NCAA Council. This week the ACC has submitted a request to amend this proposal to keep the 9/1 date for lacrosse. This will now also be voted on in April. I'm not sure if most of you agree, but the current 9/1 date has several issues. First off, we are all forced to blindly spend money for our kids to attend camps, clinics, etc. While we can hear if a school has "general interest" some schools don't even offer that much. Allowing contact on 6/15 would make it possible to have real discussions with the coaches to gauge their actual level of interest, where the player is on their list and other useful information. It also provides an opportunity to being to create a relationship with the coaches that will be coaching your child for 4 years. As you all are aware, the 9/1 date does not remove the recruiting pressure on the kids. Coaches still watch the games years prior to that date. If anything the pressure is worse because the kids have no idea where they stand. Moving the visit date to 8/1 also allows the kids to more easily play fall sports. Most soccer, field hockey, football coaches aren't going to be too thrilled with kids missing Friday and weekend practices or even games because they need to go visit colleges for lacrosse. Coaches say they want multiple sport athletes yet pass rules that make it very difficult to play a fall sport junior year.

It has been expressed to me that it would be very beneficial for as many parents as possible to send letters/emails to the chair of the NCAA council prior to the April vote expressing concerns with the 9/1 date and support for the new proposal which is Proposal 2018-93. I am including the email below for the current and incoming Chairs. I hope we as a community can come together and try to make sure this positive change can pass.

Current Chair:
Blake James bjames@miami.edu
Incoming Chair:
Dr. M. Grace Calhoun athdir@pobox.upenn.edu

What does the IAAM looking like this year? McDonogh graduated a ton, but have a ton coming back. Interesting to see how Taylor does in her first year as coach. NDP graduated a ton, but not sure what they have left, They practically dress half the school on the sideline. Spalding or Glenelg Country have a shot? Bryn Mawr and Roland Park?

I’d put GCS as the top seed going in and probably MCD as two. Don’t believe the the bs SPSG would not do any better then last year they’ll finish mid pack again.

There are a lot of talented freshmen coming in, however NDP doesn’t have the room for them on Varsity. Their JV will be the strongest out there because of it.

I can only speak to NDP's sophomore class. They have several SW and several TLC players. The rest of the top club players in town are split between McDonough and St Pauls and then sprinkled among the rest of the schools in town. That group of NDP sophomores is very, very good.

St. Marys has a chance to be really good. Everyone pretty much returns from last year and they picked up a solid 2020 goalie that transferred. A

Glenelg Country has a very good senior class but very young after that..2 jr, 4 soph and 13 fresh.

Hopefully someone can take down McD but every year the parents of NDP and the other preps talk trash because they have a D on the team. Every year their is an excuse about the coaching or injuries etc.

Every year parents of ALL schools, not just NDP, talk trash about how they will beat McD and then don’t. Well, except NDP. They have earned the right to talk trash.
It will be a good year for a lot of schools. The 2022 class is a very talented one across the board and that will make for some really good lacrosse games this season.
Good luck to everyone.

The talent on the 21 SW team is at JC, SPSG, BM, McD and Gerstell. None of the 2021 SW girls at NDP are difference makers. There is one TLC 2021 girl at NDP that is good. I'd ease up on the very, very good talk.

Is there such a thing as lacrosse scholarships for girls high school sports? Which schools? Or do they just hide through financial aid?

Gerstell openly advertises athletic scholarships. Other schools hide behind financial aid and named scholarships where part of the criteria is athletic prowess.

The top 2021's in the area are at McD, SPSG, Glenelg Country and a lot are at public schools. Bryn Mawr has a few. SPSG has 12 2021 girls from M&D, SW, Heros and TLC. McD has half that but they are all good players. GCS has most of the top Heros girls. You use the excuse that most of the NDP freshman weren't on varsity last year because there are so many players there. But if that's the case shouldn't NDP's JV team have been better last year?

NDP lost a ton of talent from last year's team. And contrary to popular belief there isn't a bunch of talent there to replace them.

If you think it's worth all the money by all means shell it out. Chris will appreciate it I'm sure. There's a reason all the top players stopped attending.

Everyone who says this is not worthwhile either did apply in time or did not get accepted. it's not any more expensive than similar tournaments and the list of colleges attending is much better than last year.

What about for a 2021 from a "non-traditional area"? Plays on a good club team. Would it be a worthwhile event to measure herself against other players?

Funny. This is always the response. I bet your daughter was selected as an all star last year at the UA150 and you made sure to tell everyone about it to.

Maybe my daughter attended two years ago and saw how useless it was. My daughter was invited last year but did not attend. But from what I was told last year was no better other than they gave out a lot of swag to make up for the lack of coaches. As I've said, none of the top girls attend anymore. Look at last year's rosters. Their still up on the site. There are hardly any M&D, SW, YJ 2021 girls. On the bright side it's much easier to get an invite now. In fact, both the Nike 120 and UA 150 were still sending out emails trying to get girls to attend only a few weeks out from the event last year.

By all means spend the money for a day and a half of lacrosse if you want. There is no instruction going on. It is what it is. The girls are in high school. They should be trying to make their regional Under Armour teams.

The top players aren't going to be at UA 150. So not sure it's the best place to measure herself against them. If it's a non-traditional area, you should have a good shot at making the Schoolgirls team or UA Underclass team. Those two events have tons of coaches and don't cost much(UA Underclass is free if you make the team). Other than that, you are much better off spending the money going to a couple camps of schools that your daughter is interested in. Especially if those schools have shown interest in your daughter. At this point most girls should know some schools that are interested in her. Plan your summer accordingly.

Lets dissect your wandering response:
1. I bet your daughter was selected as an all star last year at the UA150 and you made sure to tell everyone about it to.

My daughter did not attend nor apply last year so therefore I did not tell anyone about it.

2. Maybe my daughter attended two years ago and saw how useless it was.

Did she attend or not..it's a pretty simple answer

3. My daughter was invited last year but did not attend.

Wait a minute. If she maybe attended 2 years ago and saw how useless it was why did she apply again last year. I'm stumped

4. By all means spend the money for a day and a half of lacrosse if you want. There is no instruction going on

No where on the UA 150 webiste does it say anything about instruction. It's about the games and the Parisi combine

5. They should be trying to make their regional Under Armour teams.

My daughter was on the UA All American Baltimore Command team last year..was yours?

Like I said it's usually the parents who did not apply in time or weren't accepted that belittle these type of events. I saw it last year with the UA All American games. Parent's who were late in applying or who's kid did not make the cut belittled the tournament as useless

apparently many of the area's top 22's and 21'su are going this year. Word was out on the college list for 2019

My daughter was also on UA Underclass team last year. Went to UA 150 and Nike 120 two years ago. They were both a waste of time and money. She applied because we had not yet made a decision on whether she would go again but when the time came we decided not to spend the money. Instead she went to 2 college camps last summer for not much more money.

My comment about instruction was in comparison in what you get for the money when you go to a camp. Playing 6 games in front of mostly D3 coaches is not worth the exorbitant fees in my opinion. There are games being played on 4 fields. You will be lucky for your daughter to be watched twice over a 2 day span by any of the few good D1 schools.

What exactly is the benefit of the Parisi Combine? There is none. Do you really think college coaches give a darn about the results?

These used to be great events when they were held in January. Tons of coaches came as it was during their down time. When they changed the recruiting calendar it ruined them. Coaches are on the road every weekend watching tournament games all summer. UA 150 is the week between Nike G8 and Mid-Atlantic. It's easy for Maryland, Loyola, Navy, etc to attend as they're local. USC is always there because they just stay on east coast that week. Most coaches don't want to stay in MD all week after being in Jersey that weekend, they want to go home for a few days.

The event serves a purpose for certain kids. As long as your expectations are not too high in terms of exposure by all means go ahead and attend.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
I would rather my daughter spend $600 and get seen by 3 coaches on her list than spend the same amount on one camp where you get instruction from current players, some who never touch the field. I guess this is where that “to each his own” statement comes into play.

thanks for your approval to attend, it means so much. BTW there are no college camps or these types events that will have over 35 colleges attending and they are a mixture of Top D1 all the way through NAIA. The more exposure the more options for schools to pick from. Even the UA All American games did not draw that many coaches for the Command or Highlight Underclass games. Yes college coaches do care about the speed results from the combine because you CANNOT TEACH SPEED..any college coach in any sport will tell you that

In fact, both the Nike 120 and UA 150 were still sending out emails trying to get girls to attend only a few weeks out from the event last year.

By all means spend the money for a day and a half of lacrosse if you want. There is no instruction going on. It is what it is. The girls are in high school. They should be trying to make their regional Under Armour teams.

Lets dissect your wandering response:
1. I bet your daughter was selected as an all star last year at the UA150 and you made sure to tell everyone about it to.

My daughter did not attend nor apply last year so therefore I did not tell anyone about it.

2. Maybe my daughter attended two years ago and saw how useless it was.

Did she attend or not..it's a pretty simple answer

3. My daughter was invited last year but did not attend.

Wait a minute. If she maybe attended 2 years ago and saw how useless it was why did she apply again last year. I'm stumped

4. By all means spend the money for a day and a half of lacrosse if you want. There is no instruction going on

No where on the UA 150 webiste does it say anything about instruction. It's about the games and the Parisi combine

5. They should be trying to make their regional Under Armour teams.

My daughter was on the UA All American Baltimore Command team last year..was yours?

Like I said it's usually the parents who did not apply in time or weren't accepted that belittle these type of events. I saw it last year with the UA All American games. Parent's who were late in applying or who's kid did not make the cut belittled the tournament as useless



My daughter was also on UA Underclass team last year. Went to UA 150 and Nike 120 two years ago. They were both a waste of time and money. She applied because we had not yet made a decision on whether she would go again but when the time came we decided not to spend the money. Instead she went to 2 college camps last summer for not much more money.

My comment about instruction was in comparison in what you get for the money when you go to a camp. Playing 6 games in front of mostly D3 coaches is not worth the exorbitant fees in my opinion. There are games being played on 4 fields. You will be lucky for your daughter to be watched twice over a 2 day span by any of the few good D1 schools.

What exactly is the benefit of the Parisi Combine? There is none. Do you really think college coaches give a darn about the results?

These used to be great events when they were held in January. Tons of coaches came as it was during their down time. When they changed the recruiting calendar it ruined them. Coaches are on the road every weekend watching tournament games all summer. UA 150 is the week between Nike G8 and Mid-Atlantic. It's easy for Maryland, Loyola, Navy, etc to attend as they're local. USC is always there because they just stay on east coast that week. Most coaches don't want to stay in MD all week after being in Jersey that weekend, they want to go home for a few days.

The event serves a purpose for certain kids. As long as your expectations are not too high in terms of exposure by all means go ahead and attend.

Please do not listen to this person...if your daughter applied and was excepted then by all means have her go. It cannot be a bad thing to be seen by head or assistant coaches from all or any of these colleges. Their bad experience may be your good experience

enough on the merits of the UA 150. Lets get back to the HS spring season.

what schools will be good in the Public schools? 4A?, 3A? 2A? 1A?

how about the IAAM B & C divison

Can Taylor Cummings be a successful head coach?

Of course coaches like speed. Do you really think coaches go look at the results from the UA 150 parisi combine though? Of course not.

The UA Underclass games are free to play in as opposed to the crazy high fee for UA150. And you're crazy if you don't think there weren't more coaches from top D1 schools there than UA150.

UA150 costs twice as much as it should for what is provided. You get less exposure there than you will at G8 the weekend before or Mid-Atlantic the weekend after. If the goal is to just play games in front of college coaches tournaments blow UA150 out of the water. Camps are better if your daughter is interested in the school and wants to be able to actually interact with the coaches and current players and get a feel for the program.

Again, to each their own.

If you think it's worth all the money by all means shell it out. Chris will appreciate it I'm sure. There's a reason all the top players stopped attending.


What about for a 2021 from a "non-traditional area"? Plays on a good club team. Would it be a worthwhile event to measure herself against other players?


The top players aren't going to be at UA 150. So not sure it's the best place to measure herself against them. If it's a non-traditional area, you should have a good shot at making the Schoolgirls team or UA Underclass team. Those two events have tons of coaches and don't cost much(UA Underclass is free if you make the team). Other than that, you are much better off spending the money going to a couple camps of schools that your daughter is interested in. Especially if those schools have shown interest in your daughter. At this point most girls should know some schools that are interested in her. Plan your summer accordingly.

apparently many of the area's top 22's and 21'su are going this year. Word was out on the college list for 2019


Per the above mention, trying to figure out what coaches will be there this year. I can only find the 2018 list. Thanks.

You're right. They asked for an honest response on if the UA 150. It's the best $600 you can spend.

That better?

What if girls don't know where they are interested in going or who is interested in them yet? Especially 2022's? Might be better served for now to be at UA in front of a variety of schools than going a specific school's summer camp yet. Looks like a good variety of schools. True that not a lot of players from top-tier teams were on the rosters the past years. And lack of high level schools. But now that recruiting guidelines have changed, it could have an effect on the caliber of this event - both in terms of colleges and players. A couple of years ago top girls were already committed by the time they were the ages of this year's UA150 players. I don't know the answers. But things to think about.

Well aren’t you snarky. Guessing your daughter was either recently cut or kept a lot of metal warm when she played.

FYI-what a waste of $$$. Let your D be a huge star at Public HS instead of paying money to sit the bench . College coaches don't watch HS lax just check the stats . I pulled my D from prep school 28,000 a year to public and she is committed to Ivy school now -go figure.

depends on your view of what a 'waste' is. many of these girls playing lax in private schools are not paying full price anyway. if you D is playing in the IAAM A then they are playing against top competition every game and probably in practice making them better for the summer club season when the college coaches are watching. My guess your daughter was getting into an Ivy regardless of a public or private education. Congrats and good for her.

I know people say high school isn't important for recruiting but it is important in training. High school coaches get your daughter 6 times a week for 2 months. Club is twic a week for 2 hours. Playing on a good high school team goes a far way in making them better players.

How much of a sales job is needed to convince your daughter that it's a good thing she's sitting at the tail end of a 40 man roster at a private school but, in the long run, the practices are worth it to further her career in college? Good god, high school sports should be about actually playing, if they have the ability, since they only have 4 years to enjoy it.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
The sales pitch was the need to be at the private school in the first place. You will find this out but when the kids get recruited -the teams that will want them will not be the schools they want to attend academically. IAAM is great competition for HS lacrosse but most of the kids on the bench will not see the field in college either so pick the right fit for your child and if it doesnt work out -walk away from lacrosse. Also put that money in a 529 account instead of prep school coffers.

only go to a private prep if you are recruited by the coach. If you are on the coaches wish list then you are probably on varsity as freshmen and getting some playing time from the start... also probably getting a nice break in tuition.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
It's the same sales pitch given by the top few clubs around MD to pad their rosters and increase the amount of money brought in by each team to the clubs' bank accounts. Nothing will replace playing time. Suddenly there's this pitch that being on the tale end a certain club teams' roster is "great" because even if you don't play you're "practicing with the best". And parents actually buy it. Yes you're on a winning team but if you're not in the top half of the team it's useless.

Man I wish I came up with this lie.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
Something else to consider... - better yet here is the real truth that should be told...
The college lacrosse coaches will not let the contact date be moved up because these coaches are now making too much money from their camps.
Coaches want recruiting pushed back because coaches make huge money from the extra two years of camps from the Sophomore and Junior players who now go.
Coaches did not push recruiting back because it "was in the best interest of the players" they pushed it back because "it was in the best interest of coaches' pocketbooks". Follow the money!
Coaches want you to believe it is an amazing coincidence that the extra two months of July and August that the coaches claim "are needed so the players can mature" just happen to be the exact two months when coaches run their camps. What an amazing coincidence!
Players do not magically mature in July & August. It is because July and August are when coaches run their money making camps.
Sorry players, the NCAA, just like US Lacrosse, will put the money before the players.
By the way...
-Proposal 2018-93 is for June 15th contact
-Proposal 2018-93-2 is for Sept 1st contact
Please email:
bjames@miami.edu
athdir@pobox.upenn.edu
and tell them to vote June 15th not Sept 1st

What you say about college coaches is just not true of all of them. I spoke to a college coach about a month ago who is in favor of the contact date being moved to June. In fact, I believe the coaches are the ones who suggested to change. We will see how the vote goes.

The coaches did not suggest the change to 6/15. The NCAA Student Athlete Experience Committee did after a multi-year study. The IWLCA and IMLCA decided at their conferences this fall to submit a proposal to remove lacrosse from the 6/15 proposal. This was submitted by the ACC for vote in April. There are multiple versions of the proposal up for vote and lacrosse has requested to keep 9/1. I agree there are coaches that think 6/15 is a good idea, but the coach associations have selfishly requested to keep 9/1. Send emails!!!

You're right. NDP will drop quite a bit once the season starts. They lost way too much and don't have anyone to replace them.

McDonogh won't be at the top for long and probably won't even win the IAAM. They only topped Spalding 6-5 yesterday at home, scoring the game winner with under 20 seconds left. It should be interesting to see which team rises up and replaces them. It's certainly there for the taking.

There will be quite a bit of movement. Compare this list to the one released three weeks from now.

of course there will be...this is a preseason ranking. most of these teams haven't even played a game yet


You're right. NDP will drop quite a bit once the season starts. They lost way too much and don't have anyone to replace them.


McDonogh won't be at the top for long and probably won't even win the IAAM. They only topped Spalding 6-5 yesterday at home, scoring the game winner with under 20 seconds left. It should be interesting to see which team rises up and replaces them. It's certainly there for the taking.



NDP is not going anywhere. They have the best sophomore class in the country.


Is this a joke? If their sophomores are so good why was only one on varsity last year?

They didn't help them much this morning in their 20-10 loss

McDonogh 6 - Spalding 5
Glenelg Country 11 - John Carroll 10
Maryvale 13 - Severn 8
SPSG 16 - Maryvale 8
RPCS 11 - St. Marys 7
Bryn Mawr 15 - Gerstell 8
John Carroll 10 - Gerstell 9

Looks like there's quite a bit of parity this year in IAAM. Should be a lot of close games. RPCS and NDP got beaten pretty badly out of conference this weekend.

It was a joke. NDP doesn't have the best sophomore class in the country. They don't have the best sophomore class in the IAAM. Most of their sophs are from TLC or are bench players for SW. Only two of them made varsity as freshman and only one contributed. Their JV team wasn't very good last year which wouldn't make sense if it was supposedly loaded with all these great sophomores that didn't make varsity last year. The best two 2021 club teams in Baltimore are SW and M&D. None of their top players are at NDP. NDP lost a TON of talent from last year's team and there is no one there to replace them.

Hi. Just posting here because some may have seen this before when their girls were younger. My daughter will be in high school in 2 years.
Has this ever happened or is this a thing?
My daughter plays club. Another friend from school plays club as well. They don’t see each other as much since they go to different schools now.

Not to overload you with details but as moms we used to share info like what camps are good vs waste of money etc. Now as middle schoolers it seems people are holding onto info more tightly and not sharing as much. We did a random camp this summer and this friend shows up where In the old days I would have heard about it from her mom but not anymore. I don’t think her mom wants her daughter playing with my daughter. Sounds weird bc they used to be good buddies from an old team. Just wondering if this sounds common or normal.

Yes ... this happens. But no it's not normal. Parents do not tell their friends and other parents from their teams about camps, leagues, training, out of club tournaments. Who knows why - probably to give their daughter a leg up.

When I played youth soccer our coach told every player and parents about every opportunity he heard of for extra play and arranged for us to do a couple things together. He wanted everyone on the team to get better - not just his daughter. It's not that way anymore

There are parents (one is particularly egregious) who take 1/2 of their club team and play in tournaments, camps, leagues, etc. and completely exclude the other girls on the team. No actually - its a group of parents. They're not playing in club sponsored activities so no one can actually stop them but you would think common decency would stop it. And they'd NEVER let that happen to their own children but that's the new normal. Worry about what benefits & advances your child and maybe a select few others . For all others - well too bad for them.

It will only get worse when your daughter gets to high school and the competition for things like looks from colleges/under armour, all american, and nike teams/write ups in the papers/spots on varsity & JV/ etc.

Use a forum like this to ask about certain camps. You'll probably get a better answer from anonymous parents on here who aren't worried about your kid outshining theirs

All of the camps, tournaments, UA sponsored events are all on the internet. All you need to do is search for it. I did not need any other parent to tell me about one of these events. I researched them and figured out which ones were worth paying for. Do not be dependent on others when all that is needed is a little research effort.

Ah yes, the "if everyone can't do it then no one should be able to do it" thought process. Does everyone on the team have to be friends all the time? It sounds like they are excluding some but not all. Maybe you can take the reins and your own time and efforts and organize a few things and someone will reciprocate for you.

All these camps, 7v7's, etc are on the schools website. Some parents research these things and some don't. It's not someone else's job to make sure your daughter attends certain events. 7v7s and things like that have a limited allowed roster size. Yes certain players like playing together in these things. Doesn't mean they are excluding others but usually girls prefer to play with the girls they are closer to. Put another team together if your daughter wants to go and she wasn't asked to be on a team.

Regarding 2018-93, the $ greedy college coaches want to keep the lacrosse date 9/1 because 9/1 enables coaches to run another round of money making summer camps .
If the date was 6/15 coaches would commit the "true recruits" the coaches were truly interested in on 6/15 and then the 100's of mislead non-recruits would not go to the coaches' money making camps.
The coaches had a stronger argument when they moved recruiting back 3 YEARS. But now the extra 2 MONTHS coaches want are just for the coaches to make money on 2 months of camps.
Players do not miraculously mature in those last 2 months. It is those 2 months the coaches want to make more money from camps.
The lacrosse coaches want 9/1 instead of 6/15 because of $ greed.
As usual US Lacrosse has sold out to the money and the coaches instead of putting the kids first. Let's hope the NCAA puts the kids first this time.
The NCAA needs to stand up to the coaches and make the date 6/15 like the other sports.

I agree with Shot clock as well. I also think the yellow card should be released if goal is scored. One yellow card in HS can ruin a great game. Keep like college. Give them one goal not 5 in 2 minutes. Not to be hard on refs but they ruined a game this year with multiple questionable yellows which turned into multiple goals. The impact of a yellow in HS is multiplied. That is a rules issue, not refs.

The June 15th date is bad for the coaches because coaches want players to keep going to their $$ camps.
If it was June 15th then players would be able to make a much more informed decision as to what coaches had TRUE interest, not just fake marketing campaigns to lure kids who the coaches have zero interest in.

The coaches are misleading everyone, some could say flat out lying to everyone.

This change is not about recruiting in 6th grade or any other type of early recruiting.

This is about 78 days.

What is the benefit of waiting 78 days?
Until someone tells me differently I can only think it is an additional 78 days of camps.

What do the children get by having access 78 days sooner?
Seems to me that the PSA can use that 78 days to use real information to evaluate where they want to spend 4 years of their lives.
Some will even be able to start their Junior year of HS and the others will also have their process start a little sooner.

Again this is about 78 days........NOT Early recruiting. Early recruiting has been stopped.

It's not the recruiting tournament it claims to be and it's just another money grab for Corrigan Sports . had a daughter tryout for the command team the last year and this year and there was a big difference in the process from last year to this year. more evaluators for the command team had kids trying out for the command team than last year, one evaluator had 2 kids trying out. to much heros and m&d involvement in the evaluation process and it showed in the callback game. i must say it was not a very well run or thought out eval process this year. last year was much better.

It's not the recruiting tournament it claims to be and it's just another money grab for Corrigan Sports . had a daughter tryout for the command team the last year and this year and there was a big difference in the process from last year to this year. more evaluators for the command team had kids trying out for the command team than last year, one evaluator had 2 kids trying out. to much heros and m&d involvement in the evaluation process and it showed in the callback game. i must say it was not a very well run or thought out eval process this year. last year was much better.


Your daughter must be the SW girl that made Command last year and didn't this year? The process was actually much better this year and coaches actually didn't force their own players onto the team.

I’m guessing SW is for Skywalkers. She does not play on that club.. Just my opinion on the difference between last year and this year. I dint think the team has been announced yet.

You say the coaches didn't force their own player onto the team. Then explain why there are 5 NDP girls and the HC of the Command team is from NDP. NDP has the most players from any school.

Since this thread is active let me ask.... we are thinking of switching clubs this year...for many reasons. My daughter will be in HS shortly.
For example what would M&D be looking for at tryouts when they keep winning and winning anyways? Isn’t their team all set just the way it is? Are there players in every team secretly marked “disposable” vs the “keepers”

NDP varsity finished third in regular season and didn't make the playoff final four. NDP JV took multiple losses in the regular season. But NDP has the most girls on the UA team. Okkkaaaayyyyy.....

This is terrible, HC should be ashamed. Making a joke out of the UA Games. I think people are going to realize that UA is no longer what it once was when you have this stuff going on.

Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
Yes they did leave money on the table without a doubt especially some game 23s that are better then the bottom 3-4 22s that made it. This is still a good line up though and will do fine in the tournament and let’s be honest this is supposed to be a recruiting tournament and college coaches don’t want to see 23s yet. Probably a good idea to not even allow them to participate except for the $$ they would be turning away.

The Highlight head coach didn't put a single player from his school on the team.

The NDP girls that made the command team play for M&D and SW. If they didn't play well at the tryout they wouldn't be on the team. UA really is based on how the girls do in those 4 or 5 hours. They don't take into account where they play or whether they are on JV or Varsity because that can differ based on where they go to school.

All I've seen is complaining based on where kids go to school and not arguing that the girls that made the team didn't play well on Sunday. I'm guessing that they played well.

It’s not really sour grapes.
Nothing lacrosse related in this mid atlantic region will ever be decided based solely on merit. When you have evaluators who have their own kids/club players/high school players on the field, you will never get a a fair outcome. Everyone knows it, everyone complains about it, everyone comes on here and cries about it, and then a week later everyone stops whining and moves on to the next unfair tryout, where the cycle starts all over again. The same dad/coach/evaluator(s) will be at every event So if you are really that upset about it, get off the merry-go-round.

If you can’t have your kids in the IAAM schools for whatever reason, get them on a good club and make it work. We have a girl from frederick on our Baltimore team. She carpools with another family. Not everyone on the team is private school. You just have to play the best to get better.

Whatever. The truth is if your daughter is really talented she will have a good chance. It's a tough team to make. Check the command and highlight rosters from last two years. It's a lot of the same girls and several of them don't play for the coaches of the UA team. People complain and complain, but sometimes talent wins out. There are a ton of evaluators at the tryouts. Different evaluators each year. And yet some of these same girls make it multiple times. These are also the same girls that will commit to the top college programs but I guess you feel like the college coaches don't know what they are doing either.

Everyone is beating a dead horse. The same evaluator, plus or minus a few will always be the evaluators until their own daughters/club players graduate. Accept and move on or like the post said earlier get off the merry go round.

Stop beating a dead horse. This area will have the same dad coach evaluators, plus or minus a few until their daughters and or club players graduate, and then the cycle will start over with the younger age groups. Either accept and move on or like the previous post said get off the merry go round. Whether players got special treatment or not because of who the evaluators and coaches are, every name on that list is a strong, athletic, fast player and well deserving, whether 8th grade, JV, bench V or V.

Most of them probably read this forum, so why not congratulate them instead.

Take a look at the UA Highlight roster. Of the 23 girls, 10 play for M&D 2020 or 2021, 6 play for SW 2020 or 2021. If your daughter is good enough M&D or SW will take her. The earlier you get her there the better as those clubs do the best job developing talent. There are always girls at he bottom of the roster that are replaceable, but once you get to high school the rosters basically lock down. At tryouts they are looking for athletes with good stick skills and high lacrosse IQ. Doesn't hurt to tryout and see.

Call up MD & SW, they are always looking for new players.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
OK- Girls going into grade 9 do not need to tryout for their current club teams?
Why are SW and MD and a few others holding tryouts?
Daughters club is not having tryout for her age level - grade 9. Club is demanding payment for the next year right away which doesn't give you a chance to try out or look around at others unless you want to be late on payments?
How do the coaches fill in holes on our team if not holding tryouts?

They don't. Clubs other than M&D and SW get more holes, not fill them. In 9th grade, when girls go "tryout" for M&D and SW they have already been offered a spot and the tryout is a mere formality.

Not sure what game you were watching, but the Balt team was terrible. Middies slow, not fast enough to transition or get back on defense. It's gonna be a long weekend watching this show.

The Conny team came out firing and never stopped, and Baltimore was shell shocked. They won 90% of the draws, and the Baltimore defense failed miserably, which left the goalies high and dry. #1 on Conny could not be stopped, and beat every defender on her for the feed inside the 8m or the drive to goal herself.
Baltimore team is stacked and will regroup. The coaching staff is too good not to change the issues for the games that count.

CONNY command team definitely had the best player. Had Baltimore not played CONNY on Thursday CONNY would have won yesterday. Mary G and Mac are too good of coaches to let one player beat them twice. They had a plan and while she still played a great game it wasn't enough.

My daughter's team (another region, not Baltimore) had a dad coach who handled the offense and tried to run things mainly through his daughter, and unfortunately for the team she's not good enough to do that at UA level. Stronger players were played out of position, subbed out more often, and micromanaged to run plays geared toward getting his kid points. It hurt the team, although the best players still ended up being the top performers because that's what good players do. She wasn't good enough to be on the team, let alone be a key offensive player. Hopefully someone in the region will step up and prevent a repeat next year.

darn someone is salty. Just figured out this board. The Baltimore Team had no dad coaches. All 3 coaches worked with 15 evaluators to find the best team. Which I guess they did a pretty good job of. Connys best player played in same club as their coaches but I guess that’s a sore spot too. The girls that had the best tryouts made the team. Try saying that 1 time.

The same dad/coach/evaluator(s) will be at every event So if you are really that upset about it, get off the merry-go-round.

Daddy/Coach evaluators is what it is...it's not going to change unless you get a director at Corrigan Sports that gets independent evaluators for this process.


CSE first needs to stop underclass coaches from selecting and coaching their own kid at the event. Daddyball at the actual event is even worse than the club/high school coaches who might show some bias toward their own players.


In Baltimore coaches aren’t allowed to coach the age that their child try’s it for. What are you referring to?


My daughter's team (another region, not Baltimore) had a dad coach who handled the offense and tried to run things mainly through his daughter, and unfortunately for the team she's not good enough to do that at UA level. Stronger players were played out of position, subbed out more often, and micromanaged to run plays geared toward getting his kid points. It hurt the team, although the best players still ended up being the top performers because that's what good players do. She wasn't good enough to be on the team, let alone be a key offensive player. Hopefully someone in the region will step up and prevent a repeat next year.


Happens at Boys UA too. No matter how hard CS and UA try to spin it as independent evaluations it isnt. They do get many of top players but some are left out due to not knowing the coach...Frankly I think it is worst in non hotbed areas
where knowing coach has a bigger impact due to less impact players, Balt along with other hotbed areas can leave off a few top players and still field a great team. ................. Dont expect things to change,

Not sure why you’d think SPSG is going to be a top team. Basically a 500 team last year in the regular season and got a easy draw in the playoffs.

I think SPSG , MCD and NDP will all be very good . B Mawr will be good as well.

Where was a daddy coach that ruined it for others? I agree UA and Corrigan need to end this stuff.

We hear that every year, only to see that they are the same ole bridesmaid, come the season play. I guess if you say it enough, that when it does happen, you all can say "I told you so".

Who are they adding to make a difference?

GCS lost some of their top talent when the seniors graduated. It will be a rebuilding year with such a young squad, but I think they will be able to give some of those you mentioned a good game.

GCS is a young team with only a handful of JR's and SR's. Expect them to fall back a bit this year. If all the sophomores and freshmen they have develop they should be a very good team in 21 & 22.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
So who will be the top teams? Obviously McDonogh will start out that way.

SPSG is a .500 team, but very good coaching. Not sure they have anyone coming in to add value. But very good coaching. Will NDP be that good? They lost some power players and the JV is not that good.

Bryn Mar added some very good young goalies, but its Bryn Mar. Soooo....nope.

GCS is still the little sister trying to be cool.

Spalding loses a good amount of seniors, but returns some heavy hitters. Probably the best farm system JV team out there. They come in as national top25 team. Overreach perhaps? Coaching is suspect at times. Any young talent entering that program?

Will any others step up? Severn School...umm, No. St. Marys...has players. Gerstell...on the move for players but not there yet.

Well...its a pretty top heavy league. Its always 4-5 team division. So being in that tier means you have something going for you all. Going to the semis every year is a fine feather for that hat. But what have they done against the top tier teams aligned with them?

They do not really compete with McDonogh, which is whom they are trying to emulate. So until that starts to happen, they will remain the little sister trying to be cool.

Be serious...GCS recruits heavily. That is no secret and they are not alone. They have the coaching ties and the name sake to throw around, but yet they just can not get over the hump. I am certain they will someday, but not there yet and not there this year.

Like the above posters said, 28-9 since moving to A in 2017, and have appeared in the semis all 3 years. Strong 2023 and 2022 classes will make them a favorite next year. They may or may not struggle this year, it will be interesting to see. Losing seniors every year doesn’t seem to be an issue, they still make the semis.

MRs days are over. Really only have one really strong player at this point. Not saying they lose to anyone other the Glenelg but they don’t have a shot at beating them either..

I think SPSG will be in the top 3 because they lost to McD twice in OT and return all but a few starters from last year.

Hereford for Baltimore County. I do not see MR in the same light as previous post. I think they will be pretty legit for the next few years

NDP and GCS were an easy draw in the playoffs last year? They took McD to double OT in both games last year and led most of the game both times. They had 6 losses last year and 4 of them were in OT or double OT. One was a one goal game and other was a 2 goal game. SPSG lost far less talent than any other teams. They lost 3 starters to ACL's last year that are back plus a transfer junior that will add more offense. Their defense was one of the tops in the league and all 4 starters are back for the 3rd straight season. They have 2 solid goalies this year. Not sure why anyone would think they won't be strong this season.

Since only 1 team has beaten McD in the past 10 years or so, I guess every other school in the conference is the little sister. Based on that criteria, no one else has been any good. Seriously, you don't find it at all somewhat impressive that GCS has made been a top 3 team in the league since they moved up to the B conference?

How can McD dominate but SPSG is the team to beat? Until someone beats McD you always assume McD will win. SPSG has a good starting group but doesn't have much depth which hurt them last year when they had so many injuries.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
Someone did beat McD and they still dominate. You can dominate a season and still get beat I think is what they wee trying to say. SP issues are last years issues. Their injured players are back and they didn’t lose a lot of key players. NDP will be stronger than People think. They have a big roster to work with.

One of the reasons CR left is because they were no longer supporting admission at the level they were in the past. After the 2020 class the amount of talent drops considerably. The 2021 class is weak. There are some good 2022 and 2023 players but they will no longer have the amazing depth they've had over the last decade plus.

While McD went undefeated last year they had a lot of close games. Granted they won them all but they are definitely coming back to the pack. SPSG took them to double OT both games. They had 2 close games with Spalding. So I wouldn't necessarily say the dominated the league last year. At least not in the manor they used to.

I don't know about that. Many kids(and parents) are drawn to McD because of her. Everyone in girls lacrosse knows who TC is and her name has a lot of pull. That said, I'm not sure how much work she puts into identifying talent at the younger ages that some of the other coaches do. That combined with the decline in admissions assistance makes it harder. We will see. I fully expect them to be very good this season but those players were brought in by CR. Next year should provide some clarity.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
The other A conference schools upgraded their coaching and started recruiting with offers of money and playing time. That is the reason Mcdonogh is not as deep as they have been in the past. NDP is a larger school and much less expensive, hence the big roster.

I can’t think of anymore than 5 standouts/bluechip in club for 2023. And none are at McD! McD has some athletes but they have more girls who are average but throw a lot of money and time into training & private coaching which makes them ok players. Watch out for St Paul’s and NDP, MV & BM in the next few years.

CR coached at a public high school in Howard County and was very successful.

But I get what you're saying.... If private school had to work with whoever came to their school (via their geographic boundries) as opposed to recruiting like college coaches do - MOST would not be anywhere near as successful.

The same goes for academics.

But I get what you're saying.... If private school had to work with whoever came to their school (via their geographic boundries) as opposed to recruiting like college coaches do - MOST would not be anywhere near as successful.

The same goes for academics.

you put any of the private schools coaches at a public hs like glenelg, dulaney, hebron, hereford, townson, serverna park, southriver and to a certain extent catonsville they would be successful because these areas have good feeder programs

CAn anyone give any insight into what to expect playing at high school level vs what you’re used to in a competitive club level?
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
Totally depends on which HS. My D's played in hotbed area so HS team was from all the clubs in MD. Hard to get on the field and we won State Championships frequently . Some of the HS teams that were in the region were horrible and got smoked but if kid had a pulse they could start.

It depends if you are talking IAAM or public. While there are some some good public school teams a majority of their schedule is against pretty weak competition. Playing in the IAAM is a grind. Much faster and much more physical that competitive 8th grade club lacrosse. Plenty of freshman have stepped up and been key players on teams though so if your daughter is up to the challenge there's no reason she can't be successful.

Spalding insider here. If they are going to make run at the playoffs this is the year. If the HC can keep the daddy ball in check they have a shot. Team has some talent. But there is nothing in the pipeline to keep them rolling. Jv this year will be B C level club players. Wish them all good luck.

Haha you must be joking. Spalding V had a great run last year and strong girls are still on the team. Spalding JV was the strongest in the league. Daddy ball is at McDonogh.

Spalding has no goalie this year and Gunning was a key part of their success the last two years. KO will always keep them in games though

Not sure why you would think Maryvale or Bryn Mawr would be contenders in the next few years. Most of the 2021-2023 talent is at SPSG, Glenelg Country, NDP and MCD

Not sure by what metric you are basing your strongest JV claim by. They lost to SPSG and McD that I know of. And SPSG is a small school. If the girls were any good on the JV team they'd have been on Varsity.

Maryvale has an exceptional freshman class this year. Some of those girls will probably be on the varsity roster this year. Give them a year or two and they could be really good team.

I guess you don't know the 2023 class very well. Maryvale got some great lacrosse players in their freshman class this year. I know they have 6 girls from the 2023 Skywalkers Blue team. They also got some great girls from some other programs. Time will tell but their freshman class is loaded.

Tell your girls that all they need to do to be successful is to just score points.
Just shoot the ball in, don't be afraid.
Don't wait for the right time and just go for it.
Be brave and follow through.

BMS will be better this year as well. Several good players in the 9th and 10th grade. They will likely struggle against the bigger schools given their class sizes and ratio of mathlete/athlete but they will be competitive.

I know the 2023 class just fine. And I know that SW is not one of the better teams at 2023. The M&D and Heros girls went to SPSG, GCS and McD as I said. I'm sure many 2023s will make Varsity at MV this year because the team isn't very good.

BM was competitive last year offensively but they couldn't defend and didn't have very good goalie play. Unless they get better on that end they will struggle

M&D has girls going all over the place (#1 girl on team, if not the state, is at public) and the ones at McD are not going to make much of an impact. Unless TC can turn them into beasts - she loves athletic frames.
GCS should be really good, and Maryvale.
I hope NDP can put together a team of good ones, because they have a maybe one from 2023s that will make a difference.
BM has the best goalie in years. Plus some solid athletes.
SPSFG has some good ones.
The McD v NDP rivalry will fade away.

Lets get excited about the season everyone!

How do you not think SW's it not one of the better teams? They have beat or been close to any top team. Beat M&D in the NXT tournament didn't they! So I guess you still don't know anything about the 2023's.

BM has the 2023 goalie from SW's probably the best 2023 goalie in MD. I like MV's freshman class coming in. I don't think their is a stronger one out there. They got some top athletes from several clubs and the biggest thing they got was Quantity of good players. The freshman / sophomore team won indoor (yeah I know isn't the same as outdoor but shows there Talent pool). Give them a year or two.

M&D and NDP will always be powerhouses IMO. SP's and Arch does a great job of putting up good team's also.

SW's 2023 best 4 players got split up between BM, MV, SP and NDP. Goalie and the 3 mid fielders.

Are you really making a claim that SW 2023 has been as successful as M&D and Hero's? Because they beat them once? lol

Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
In terms of 2023s, SPSG has 3 of M&D best, 1 of SW best and 3 Heros girls. The talent is spread out as opposed to the some of the past couple classes. SPSG, NDP and GCS have tons of 2021 talent. McDonogh doesn't have a lot once the 2020 class leaves. It should be an interesting few years. It's going to take MV a few years and another couple good classes to be competitive. They have very little in the 2020-2022 classes and you never know how girls will do in high school until they actually play. Totally different game than middle school club.

Looking at the upcoming season does Mcd win National Championship again? Or does ESM from Long Island win it? Any teams in Philly? Darien I think can be a dark horse. I don’t think any other good teams out there across country.

I would be shocked if McD goes undefeated this season. They lost so much talent from last year with not much in the 21 or 22 class to replace it.

Maryvale took them down in indoor championships by just 1 point. Of course don't know who was there and not.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
Basing any opinions on indoor results is just silly. Maryvale was bad last year but at least had CB and SA. They lost their top two offensive and top defensive player with no one therr to replace that production. If you think freshman are going to step into the IAAM and do it good luck with that.

Nobody said that. They have a very good freshman class but going to take a year or two too get competitive again. Also need another strong class next year.

Lot of schools have them on their websites. Some are on MaxPreps. Question is why do you care?

I just want to know if we are going to see the girls we’ve played with in club over the years.

My point was I'm pretty sure if you want to know if girls your daughter plays club with made Varsity your daughter would know. All the baltimore girls know each other. McD, Spalding, RPCS, Maryvale, JC, Severn i think all usually have their rosters on their websites. SPSG's roster is usually on MaxPreps.

There is more to the investment in these IAAM schools besides lacrosse. Getting a quality education is more important to most parents I would believe. I don't know of many people who make a stellar living just from lacrosse.

And I would bet money that most JV teams in the IAAM "A" Division could beat most Varsity public school teams. Many of these schools have 3 teams in their program and still have to make substantial cuts during tryout time. They build their programs from middle school years onward. Most girls don't even make Varsity until Junior year because there are top girls in the Junior and Senior classes ahead of them. There isn't room for them until their Junior year. The competition in the IAAM is stellar for sure.

You would lose that bet -the top publics play the IAAM varsity teams regularly and win about 50% of the time. Don't be mad that you have wasted your money on a prep school when you could have just paid for college and let the kid grow up normally.

My guess is that your little Suzzie made the varsity team, and now you want to base that achievement against her fellow piers. Perhaps you should just ask them and stop trolling to puff your chest out. Different teams have different needs. Judge that what she does on the field (if she gets on the field) and not by whispering about others. But hey, congrats to her.

What a ridiculous statement. Just because Glenelg HS and Marriotts Ridge have won some games against IAAM teams in recent years does not come close to being 50%. If 99% of public schools played an IAAM A team they would lose by 10 goals. Not to mention that when the publics play the privates the public school girls are way more into the game than the private school girls. Severna Park goes 25-1 every year but get smoked in scrimmages against IAAM teams. Century, one of the top publics, lost to Maryvale last year who is a bottom IAAM team. There is no comparison for the most part. Name me a public school that has beaten a top private in the last 5 years other than Glenelg and MR.

I was referring to MR and Glenelg but for years SP beat Spalding Severn and St Mary's in the holiday torurneys but stopped playing them so it is really tough to make assumptions. BTW -scrimmages are for underclassmen so that theory is BS. I think SP is ranked 9th in country this year above most IAAM teams -oops.

Severna Park has no business being ranked ahead of most IAAM teams. They never play any top IAAM teams in regular season. They don't again this year. So you admit that you were talking about MR and Glenelg yet make the comment that public schools can win 50% of their games against IAAM teams and tell people they are wasting their money by sending their kids to private schools. First off, most of us don't just send out children to private school for athletics but whatever. Your point is absurd in terms of lacrosse regardless. Even if you want to include SP in the conversation, though they haven't beaten a top level IAAM team in years and years, you have named 3 of the 100s of public high schools that play lacrosse in Maryland. Not quite 50%.

It’s good that you don’t send your kid to private school only for lacrosse. With a lot of rosters of 30+ girls most don’t get to see the field anyway.

McD looked good at the play day. Competition wasn't all that great so tough to make many assumptions. There will be several good teams in the IAAM as always. Until they are beaten McD will always be the favorite. I believe for the first time in a long time there are some teams that have as much talent as McD so it should be an interesting season.

I agree. Quite a few IAAM teams can beat them this year to include SPSG, Spalding & NDP.

Spalding got trounced by the Stone Ridge School in a scrimmage and barely outscored Broadneck High yesterday. Let’s hold off mentioning them as possible contenders until we are a few games into the IAAM schedule.

Spalding took a hit this year with graduation on the defensive side of the field. They’re going to have to score a lot of goals to win games.

See if all of that investment is paying off!😀


I am also calling BS on the IAAM JV teams beating most varsity public teams-what are you smoking MR IAAM Daddy

On Thursday, March 12, 2020, under the guidance of the IAAM Board of Governors, the IAAM secured approval from IAAM Heads of School to amend our spring season in an effort to serve the best interest of our student-athletes as it relates to COVID-19.

Effective immediately, the IAAM will place a moratorium on spring season league competition.
The moratorium on league competition will last through Friday, April 10, 2020
The Board of Governors will reevaluate the situation on Monday, April 13, 2020
League competition would resume on Monday, April 20, 2020, providing five (5) days of practice, prior to resuming any spring season competitions.
Regarding regular season standings, post-season play and a possible extension of our spring season, the IAAM Board of Governors, will evaluate and communicate next steps on the afternoon of Monday, April 13, 2020.

Does my kid get an extra year of high school too?
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
I’m hoping that there will be local ball /tournaments by July?
This may pan out to be just in-state or the states that are over the hump (Maryland and North-no Carolinas or south or west)
Tryouts for UA are June 7(may still be problematic) but tourney is in July(good by then?)

Why are some of you so upset that the NCAA did the right thing?
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
I don’t think anyone is upset the NCAA did the right thing at all for college players. They just didn’t complete the right thing. They should have added the 20-21-22-23 classes since they will be directly effected by this extra year for all current players. (I know the argument is the NCAA has nothing to do with HS-but they do have in future recruiting classes-these grad years will be 5 classes into a 4 year program, then it clears itself when 19/20 graduate). The showed this by recruiting rules put in place a few years ago. So don’t say they have nothing to do with HS. Let’s not kid ourselves. The schools just offered 5 year potential scholarships with no red shirt or injury red shirt being used. I completely agree that the kids/schools had no control of it, but we now live in do for one, have to do for all world.

So they absolutely did right by current college player in this mess, but the HS players are affected as well. Also,I realize that a HS has a long way to go to be even looked a by a college but those that do for next few
Recruiting years are impacted. They should be given 5 year paid scholarships as well. That is fair,just like doing the extra year for current college players.

They also should have put in it that you can’t transfer schools to be eligible for extra year as a senior. This has even more effect on incoming players. This is already the Wild West in transfer portal or kids with drawing from Ivys two days after announcement.

When decisions are made people need to look at all aspects. This didn’t happen.

What we always knew-the Athlete Student has arrived, no more Student Athlete. Actions don’t lie.

Is it the right thing, though? I don’t think so. I think it is terrible that it happened, but life sometimes stinks. Life lessons.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
The right thing for who ? It was a knee donk reaction by the NCAA to make itself look good....like the hero. But in actuality, it was just another in a looooong line of examples of the NCAA making terrible decisions that usually have nothing to do with the student athletes best interests. How was this the right thing for the high school class of 2020 ? Everybody is losing something in this. This decision makes the 2020 class bear the burden of it for their entire college career. Everyone else gets to wipe the slate clean next year. Not fair or right .
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
Just because you like it makes it the "right thing" to do.

The 22's are screwed. Like the poster above said sometimes life is hard. The rules keep changing on the 20's, 21's and 22's. They don't get to play an extra year of high school. The 20's don't get senior night or prom or anything else. But hey the college kids get an extra year because THAT is the "Right thing to do". Don't worry about the younger kids, these kids are more important.
Give me a break.

Not true. 2020 HS students have it bad because they lost this season and will be playing with 5th year seniors for their entire college career. But their college selection was unaffected.
2022 and 2023 HS students may have it worse because they may find themselves unrecruited, having been squeezed out by current college players who are taking normally empty roster spots to play for their 5th year.

Anyone have a feel for how many will take advantage of this 5th year? I would think most seniors already have post-college jobs, grad school, etc lined up. Even w covid-19. And this 5th year would still incur expenses for the player & as stated, most won’t be making a career out of lacrosse. As the parent of a 2022, I’m hoping there are still viable D1 opportunities. If not, it will completely change what college many attend.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
There will be plenty of opportunities. Go where the money is, academic and athletic combination is the way to go if the grades are there. Dont get caught in the names of the schools. A good package illustrates how much you are valued. In turn how much you will play. Looking at a lot of 2019s I'm sure many would have reconsider where they went.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
What if the school doesn’t feel like taking you back for the fifth year? I understand to get to year five you really are invested(vs those that drop out after freshman year) in playing, but what if you had a bad season start?

I honestly dont see there being any summer tourneys, except maybe UA underclass games since its the best of the best competing and would be a big help to the coaches and these 2021-24 girls. Sounds like Corrigan sports is really trying to make this happen as they moved the tourney back to August. Whether parents will be allowed to watch is an unknown. Could see it played with no fans/parents, and just select amount of coaches at each game. If you think your daughter is a top player than she should be at this tryout...2021/22 team and 2023/24. Long Island and Baltimore among other regions will get close to 200 girls trying out for this team. Although 75% of the team is already chosen lol
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
Are coaches even looking at 2021's? Seems they would be focusing only on 2022's if tourneys even happen since so many camps are getting cancelled.

Except that UA is now during Lake Placid. Many coaches will be at Placid Terrible planning in my opinion

Hi - do you mean the the coaches already have a lineup of girls that they want for the teams? I get that..
But what do you think has more weight - current high school or club teams? No.1 daughter doesn't go to a Baltimore private - but we are on a good club team. Do you think the girls from NDP and St Pauls will get more of a look than our kid? The coaches are from there.

Any 2021 on the Command team last year will be back on the team this year. Most of the 2022's that were on the Highlight team last year will probably make the Command team this year if they try out

Of course CSE is really trying to make UA happen. They make huge money from the tryouts alone - significantly more, I'm guessing, than they pay to run the event. Tournaments being rescheduled to August is creating schedule conflicts. Summer Genesis and Champions Cup rescheduled for the same weekend, for example. It's a mess that to some degree is not the fault of clubs and tournament operators, but ultimately I think it's the parents who will bear the brunt of the financial loss.

Lake Placid was never a recruiting tournament anyway as it was during a dead period. Even if they do want to send a coach to both they can certainly do so. UA was originally scheduled the same weekend as G8 so it really doesn't make a difference.

I've heard just the opposite as there has apparently been alot of pushback by club coaches and parents that they're tired of seeing the same girls on the team. Some are worthy of it and we all know some aren't. Whether it's more competitive this year remains to be seen.

hard to argue with last years selections for both the highlight and command since they both were champs

Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
There were some real ‘22 monsters on command last year that will move up to highlight. Hopefully we’d get more of chance this year. Also we may be looking to switch clubs and we need aspects of this tryout in case summer tryouts don’t really happen.
Does anyone think teams will hold tryouts for fall? I also realize that if you’re a certain ability or class coaches will take a private look at you.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
Has anyone seen on USCL (red flag right there) the "Peoples Champion"?
Its all over their social media and it a 16 person bracket full of players with small bios that you vote on for popularity reasons. I just cant believe that this is a reality right now. As if these girls of a tender social age have enough to worry about.
I will add that most of these brackets are populated with players from outside the east coast - lots of Ohio Florida and out west.
I'm kind of sorry that Epoch is sponsoring this as well. I thought they were better than that and being the team sponsor of UNC they didn't have to stoop to this level.

Not to be a downer, but the more I read about it, the less I believe there will be any lacrosse until the spring of 2021. So depressing.

Unfortunately things are going to be delayed for at least another year with a potential attempt to normalcy in the winter.

Some schools will open in the fall while others don't which will make school sports highly unlikely. The one caveat is this wont be everywhere. As we all know testing isn't there yet so large gatherings aren't going to occur and unlike professional sports where TV contracts and $$S will prevail there isn't going to be a central locale like Orlando or Arizona for high school sports. Without school there wont even be after school sports and if there is school - large gatherings like a football game with hundreds in the stands wont occur. Schools will start to open up in the winter but those in the know (again not me - just happen to talk to people who are) say without a cure there will be a relapse and we will be back where we are now. While we will be MUCH more prepared with masks and hopefully testing and a better response, the first thing to go will again be large gatherings. So while school will operate more smoothly with remote learning OR in some instances even staying open with factors in place such as temperature checks, face masks etc . . there will again be no LARGE gatherings after school Since I am on a Lacrosse blog - this means no spring lax without a cure. This also means no proms, school plays, etc . . I can only hope this relapse and continued "stay at home" procedure doesn't comeback next February/March but this seems inevitable. People will think all is good as things in the fall/early winter start to gain some normalcy but then things will revert. I will add that BOY, DO I HOPE THOSE SMARTER THAN ME ARE DEAD WRONG!!!

Its unfortunate but was just talking to a friend whose daughter will be enrolling in a coed New England prep school this fall and it was reported back - after a zoom call the administration just had with new parents - that it is highly unlikely Fall sports (especially those of the contact variety) are a go. That is the conversation being bantered about among ALL of the Northeast private schools. It stinks but just saying.

It’s a good thing my daughter is not a junior. For that very reason clubs should give money back minus admin fees. It’s a good thing our club loves to run up the numbers in our teams! More families more money!
I really dont know how clubs can justify keeping any dues from this year.

I agree. What would be the point of attending if no coaches will be there? I'm sure the competition would be good for the girls, but ultimately it comes down to performing in front of prospective colleges. If they don't lift the dead period on August then the 22s will have had no opportunity to get looks since last fall. That age group is really taking it on the chin through this whole thing.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
What does the dead period cover? No on campus recruiting visits, I know. Phone calls and texts still are allowed.

Can the coaches come to tournaments? Can they work at off campus camps/clinics? For example Lacrosse Masters, etc? 'Virtual" clinics?

Coaches can do nothing but look at film highlights during a dead period.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
From the NCAA website:

What is a dead period?
During a dead period a college coach may not have face-to-face contact with college-bound student-athletes or their parents, and may not watch student-athletes compete or visit their high schools. Coaches may write and telephone student-athletes or their parents during a dead period.

Command 4 out of 23 where 2024. Highlight 10 out of 23 were class of 2022. I would say the Highlight ratio argues for tryout fairness, not going for more well known/ older girls.

If you had a bad tryout but you play for the high school or club involved with the coaching staff, you got the spot over the players who were more deserving. End of discussion. It’s the way it is. Don’t try out if it bothers you.

It seems this is the first year in a long time the talent is spread out between private and public schools. I guess you are bitter because your 22 did not make the cut?

I don’t see the purpose of having this same conversation every year. 1. There are kids selected that are deserving.
2. There are those that aren’t deserving but get in because of connections.
3. There are those who merit a spot on the team but get passed over due to points #1 and #2.

We all know it going into the tryouts, so don’t bellyache if your daughter doesn’t make the team.

The DC tryouts may be in HoCo this year but the Coaches are from DC/VA. They will not allow for girls that they view as not from the DC area to make the team. Last year some of the most talented players at the tryouts didn’t make the call back game because they were viewed from out of region.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but the DC tryouts are open to girls from MD too. There will be a steady steam of cars filled with talented girls that didn't make the Baltimore team.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
You are somewhat correct there will be a line of cars filled with girls that didn’t make Baltimore. Point is they won’t make Washington either although a lot of them should. Just check when the roster comes out and we will see who’s correct.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
Maybe that’s why Washington was awful last year. LI and BAL are the only regions that can play politics and still be successful. Just that much talent in those hotbeds. Everyone else should take the best players at their tryouts so we don’t have to watch blowouts again.

I beg to differ. Better competitions, not blowouts. Look for the DC team to be a top contender this year because of the tryout location change.

What was so obvious? For once in seems like a good mixture of girls from different schools, not your typical NDP/McD bias like last year.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
That’s because the standouts in the lower classes mainly 23, don’t go to MCD and NDP. It’s too bad there wasn’t a season this spring.

Yep... but when you take girls that go to those schools that are not deserving, that is a different story. There where plenty of public school girls that should have made the team, but were passed over based on the NDP/MCD favoritism. If you cannot notice that, then your daughter must go to one of those schools.

There wasn't a single NDP player on the Highlight team last year. There were several McD. There are 3 McD girls on the team this year and they're all deserving. There are no NDP players on the team again this year. The questions should be around the numerous Heros 2022 girls on the team that seemed to have been helped by the Hero's director coaching the team.

when you win the tournament, how can you say the girls are not deserving? i do understand that girls are passed up. like any tryout, girls get overlooked. to say a player is not deserving sounds like you are a bitter parent.

I believe there are only 2 or 3 Hero's 2022 girls out of 23 players. I really wouldn't call that numerous, you should get your facts straight before posting such nonsense.

There are 4 hero’s girls on the Highlight team. These are the only 4 hero’s girls that made the call back team. The goalie is legit, the other 3 were very questionable.

It is nonsense when they don't deserve to be on the team. There were several 2021 girls from M&D and SW that didn't make callbacks. These girls are committed to Maryland, Penn State, Michigan, JMU, and other good programs and didn't even make callbacks? There is a fantastic 2022 on SW and another on TLC that didn't make callbacks. Funny how 3 Heros 2022 girls made the final roster. Sure it had nothing to do with the fact that their director is one of the coaches.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
It’s the same deal every year. Everyone knows it and the reason this tournament is losing credibility. Especially for this age group for the Baltimore team. The 2022 Hero’s and M&D coaches have always controlled the roster. I was shocked when I saw the list. Definitely not the top girls.

The same M&D girls have made it over the last 3 years and are good players. 5 other very good M&D 2021 girls didn't even make callbacks so not sure how much pull the M&D coach has.

So you are essential saying the rosters should be pre determined based on where they go to school and their respective club team, not on the actual tryouts. Based on your logic, why even have tryouts? Maybe those girls that made the team had great tryouts, while the other girls could have been off that day. This seems like the first year in a long time that the tryouts actually mattered.

Tryouts matter but when it becomes obvious that there a players being selected over players who had better tryouts then it becomes an issue. Maybe the 3 coaches should not even be at the tryouts to avoid these problems in the future. That and there should never be a parent evaluating an age group where they have child trying out.

it also shouldn't be coaches of clubs that will certainly pick or have already predetermined the players and coach/parents that will certainly pick their own child players. Its a shame that this goes on in the lax community. Who you know shouldn't supersede talent. These are not legit tryouts. When will it end?

So you are essential saying the rosters should be pre determined based on where they go to school and their respective club team, not on the actual tryouts. Based on your logic, why even have tryouts? Maybe those girls that made the team had great tryouts, while the other girls could have been off that day. This seems like the first year in a long time that the tryouts actually mattered.
Tryouts matter but when it becomes obvious that there a players being selected over players who had better tryouts then it becomes an issue. Maybe the 3 coaches should not even be at the tryouts to avoid these problems in the future. That and there should never be a parent evaluating an age group where they have child trying out.

Tryouts do not matter. It is about nothing more than collecting the benjamins.

Tryout film does not lie. Watch the film when it becomes available and then come back on here and preach your "they are worthy!". UA tryout process is a joke, not based on merit. goes for all regions, not just Baltimore.

I think everyone can agree that it is not a legitimate tryout...that is known and obvious. It will not change until the Coaches are someone other then a local Private School coach and/or Local Club Coach/Director. That will never happen, so this will continue...at some point, if people stop trying out and giving Corrigan the $ then just MAYBE things will change!

Luckily I believe the college coaches have definitely figured that out now too. Sadly though it delegitimizes the entire tournament. Politics have always been a factor in kid sports (especially when scholarship money is involved) but the 2022 age group with the M&D and Hero’s parent coaches have taken it to another level. Everyone knows it too and it hasn’t helped M&D win any games lately either. They continue to lose games. Even losing to Steps last week.

Doesn’t matter what film shows. Better talent always gets overlooked when connections are involved. Just means your player needs to work harder to force them to take her so that if they don’t the evaluators/coaches/food truck guy will look like fools for cutting her. If your player has talent, it will be recognized. She won’t need the UA Highlight game. So cheers to the ones who made it, no matter how they made it. When some ride the bench during the games, the ones who were cut can have their laugh to make themselves feel better.

Im not the poster, but I did watch a girls mother who was evaluating turn her back to the field she was in charge of to watch her daughter on another field. Oh,and that girl made the team.

I don't get it.. I don't believe any other sport has asked for the contact date to be pushed back.. Men's lacrosse hasn't?

and why 11 months?... and the way it's setting up, they will get the initial contact for the 2022 class on 7/1/21 and the initial contact with the 2023 class 9/1/21 do they plan to wrap up recruiting the 2022 in 2 months? or have they decided with the extra year granted to current players they don't need all that many 2022's

I hope/pray the NCAA denies the request
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
Sounds like its a done deal. But I agree with you. 11 months is way too long. Why not allow contact but no commitment?

Whether it's Baltimore or Long Island there will always be some great girls that don't make the team. Last year I was at the LI tryout and they had 150 girls there. Most girls that tryout think they have a chance to make the team, (you don't apply to Harvard with a 82 avg and 980 SAT), so my point is it's 100+ of who is who from 2022 and 23(this year 23/24). They seem to only take 5-7 girls from the younger grade, so it's next to impossible to make it as a younger kid. So now that's 15 or so spots to be picked from a great group of talent. Do they pick more by a kids resume or by the performance in the tryout?? My guess both. If you are a girl who plays varsity and contributes at a conf 1 school or Suffolk power then that helps, but you still need to play well at the tryout. If you go out as a no name and tear it up on the field all night during the scrimmages, you will make the team. My point is there will always be a touch of politics involved but the UA system tries to avoid that and believe me these coaches want to represent their region and WIN.
My belief is if you are looking for a great night of competition then go down to the tryout and roll the dice. What's the worst that can happen?? Kids gets cut,big deal. Maybe she shines and makes the team; it's the best tourney in the game as far as top tier talent Good luck
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
2023 will get pushed back as well. It’s inevitable. College coaches will not want to recruit 2 classes on top of each other. Either way, this is so far off in the future. With so much uncertainty about this upcoming fall and You might as well add next spring, there’s no sense in getting your panties in a bunch about it now. Everything will change 15 times between now and then. At this point, don’t look past tomorrow.

According to UA the senior games are canceled because of Covid-19. Whatever the real reason if not Covid-19, it's interesting that the UAAA website makes no mention of the senior game cancellations. I guess CSE thinks it's better to just ignore the situation and hope no one notices?

It isn’t just UA getting out of deals or not re signing. STX couldn’t resign the US lacrosse sponsorship either.

UA is a solid company getting out of bad, expensive deals that make no sense or money to long term growth of the brand.i e UCLA, lacrosse sticks , all useless football and sport camps etc. refocusing money on e-commerce and digital where everyone now shops. These were great sponsorship for the camps and kids but super expensive and lost the Return on investment.

On UA senior game they don’t care enough to announce it, but either does IL who picks the teams. There must be other important news.

Let’s just hope soon lax gets back to normal for these girls that work hard.

With all the state quarantines going on and that it’s only a 2 day tournament they will be lucky to have 5 or 6 teams show up.

CSE is not helping their reputation. My daughter played UAAA Underclass 3 years. First two at Towson were good events. Last year's venue was not good. President's Cup in South Florida was terrible. Hotels more expensive and less convenient than Disney and traffic/parking was a nightmare. Would rather pay admission to Disney's much nicer facility able to handle crowds. They look greedy holding tryouts like everything is normal. I don't have a problem with teams playing locally for people who feel comfortable with that, but a tournament bringing in people from all over the country is not the right thing to do at this time.

As long as you are only attending just for the swag with no expectation of your daughter actually being recruited at the event it's $600 well spent I guess. Though the value of the swag is far less then $600 I'd assume

Next the event will be cancelled. No way a public company can risk bad press of someone contracting virus at an event like this. Right or wrong that's the reality.

Nah my daughter is a 2021 and committed a while ago. Just about everyone "makes it" these days. Ever since the recruiting calendar changed and the event was moved from the winter to the summer it has been a waste of money unless your daughter is looking to play D2 or D3. The top kids don't attend anymore for a reason. Sure you can be seen by coaches, but the price is absurd for the minimum exposure your daughter is getting. While this year is different because of COVID, for that money you could send her to 2 or 3 camps at a school she's interested in this fall where the coaches are guaranteed to see her.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
One would question if you even have a daughter that plays lacrosse when you make a statement as ridiculous as saying the tournament being a "waste of money unless your daughter is looking to play D2 or D3". Go look at where the 21's on the rosters are committed to and I am sure the 22's are hoping to achieve the same.

I think this was a smart solution on Corrigan's part and the girls still get to play with another goal of making the Championship weekend. Try being positive, it goes a long way right now.

Not sure why you would think that when 3 M&D players that had been on DC team last 2 years got cut. And 5 top M&D 2021 players didn't even make callbacks in Baltimore.

M&D hasn’t had the top players in this age group ( 2021) for more than 2 years. It is not surprising that they aren’t over represented.

What an idiotic statement. You really believe that some of the top 2021 players in Baltimore aren't on M&D? There are 4 2021 M&D players and 5 2021 Skywalker players on the UA team. They are clearly the top 2 Baltimore 2021 teams and that's the reason they make up 9 of the 13 2021 players on the team. 7 girls have made UA the last 3 years. 3 are from M&D, 3 from Skywalkers and one from NEMS. Point was that the 5 M&D girls that didn't even make callbacks are committed to MD, PSU, Loyola, James Madison and Jacksonville. Not at least having them at callbacks seems to show that there wasn't any M&D bias going on at tryouts which was the accusation.

Skywalkers, M & D, YJ, LI Top Guns, Mass Elite, and Heros reign supreme at this age group (2021), but Capital Blue is top dog. Celebrate the great lacrosse for all organizations.

Good luck to the rest of the recruiting process.

DC tryouts were a sham, and it cost them the best team(s) they could have fielded. While it played out some at Highlight, this was especially true at the Command level, where it was run by 2nd tier-level team coaches who picked their own players and got an 0-5 and non-competive result to show for it. Not saying the DC team would have won with a better process, just saying it would have been a lot more competitive at both levels.

But I was told here that Capital Blue had the best 2021 players in the country now. Considering 7 of them were on the team rhey should have had no problem winning more than one game right?

7 players on the best 2021 team is different than a team comprised of the top 2-3 players from the top few clubs. It really comes down to the tryout process and coaching, which DC did not have. Their coaches were out of their league compared to other regions.

Well maybe instead of keeping 7 kids from his own club he should have kept the 3 M&D girls he cut that had been on the team the last two years. Replacing them with an uncommitted 2021 and more capital girls and 22s doesn’t make much sense. Those girls aren’t committed to Stanford, Navy and Va Tech for no reason. They don’t play for Capital or go to Bi though so....

Agreed 100 💯! That is the political aspect of tryouts. You do realize that there is a reason the M&D girls tried out for DC don’t you? That is something to take into consideration.

The M&D girls that have played for DC go to Visitation, Good Counsel, Quince Orchard and Spalding. None are from Baltimore which is why they tried out for DC. Not sure what you are insinuating.

Some rumors that it isn't changing, contact date to remain 9/1/2020 for class of 2022. still rumors right now so we will see.

I think the fact that the men's coaches voted to keep the date has help the girls cause

The recruiting dead period was just extended through Sept 30th but I don't think they've voted on women's lax contact date for 2022s yet.

8 Sw players from 23 blue.
6 from M&D black.
I guess M&D coach didn’t do a good enough job.


At DC there were 7-8 Va metro girls and not many M&D girls.

Unfortunately lots of good players don’t make the final 23.

Btw there were a couple evaluators at both DC and Baltimore and they might actually look for the best players at the tryout but I’m sure nobody wants to believe that.

As a club coach who has witnessed this yearly for the past 7 years I am shocked how quickly it has gone this year. And shocking since the IWLCA was pushing for a delay until next summer. I wonder what changed? It's terrible for girls from smaller or newer clubs because it's been very obvious that college coaches are just recruiting girls based on club recommendations and not on actual player performance. Don't get me wrong, there have been some very deserving commitments but there has also been more than usual head scratchers. And many very talented girls left out of the commitment pool so far. This has definitely been brand new territory for even those of us who have some experience!

While I agree that it has been fast and furious for some schools who were prepared to recruit who they had on there lists, I have a hard time believing any college coach would make an offer to player on a club recommendation. Seriously?

Now I’m sitting here wondering how it will go for my 23. Our team has t had the best past 12 months and because I like to film I at least have some film of my girl. But what about the others who don’t have film, didn’t have a high school year, Had no camps, no campus visits, got their tournaments screwed up and played weird teams and weird tiers at tournaments- I feel there is nothing to show for these girls.
I wil say that there is a 22 who just got recruited by a/ the top school who did not play for a big 3 or a big 5 but had an awesome Twitter and Insta. So maybe that is the direction? My girl won’t really put her self out there like that, posting workouts and inspiration quotes. But duly noted...

I would estimate that we’re only about 1/3 the way through d1 recruiting. The 22 class is going to be a lot smaller due to 5th years. How much smaller is the issue. The job market continues to be garbage and hiding in a masters is a good gap filler

It is probably not difficult to identify the top 100 players. A simple screen of high school ,Ua, development camp rosters and etc should capture a decent list. The real work is to identify players 100-500.

Workhorse players, often not identified in the top 75 players, are the keys to a successful college program.

Agree. And unfortunately the way the recruiting period has gone for the 2022 class so far, many of these girls have been overlooked. It will be interesting to see how this changes things once they are playing in college. There may be some very disappointed college coaches out there.

Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
So, are you saying the coaches are going to be disappointed in who they recruited? Or that they may have missed some good players? If you are stating that they will be disappointed in their selection, that is an obnoxious comment. The coaches didn't blindly pick their recruits...clearly they know them as a player...so I'm very confused by your statement.

At the end of the day coaches are taking commitments from kids they only probably watched last fall. Summer of 19 coaches we’re watching 21s. Some coaches will be happy some will be disappointed with whom there being sold a bill of goods for from coaches/club directors. Watched all the 22s play for years and some of the commitments are a stretch for sure. Also go lay on a beach get a really good tan and seems like you could go to any school you want...

Inappropriate yes, completely untrue no. In today’s time teams are trying to diversify so yeah there may be some “stretches” skill wise.

It’s not racist to say someone has a advantage because of the color of their skin. Obviously white people I’ve had advantage for about 400 years. It’s racist to to say someone is inherently better/worse because of the skin color they were born with. But you can wallow in your guilt if you like.

Thoughts on the McDonogh team bringing in 3 Maryland commits from other high schools to play a team showcase and dominate. Not a good look for those BadPerson bags. Have to wonder if TC approved this ? I hear it’s typical for the guy organizing to take care of his kid.

Classy move. Bring in ringers so you win 15-1 instead of 10-2. Meanwhile, your underclassmen players and parents are left bitter and resenting the program. The underclassmen and uncommitted girls missed out on a chance to get some much needed film as well. What possibly could have been the reasoning behind bringing in players when you consistently tout your program as the best in the country?

There can't be a "justified" explanation on why this was done! School is supposed to be the "best" but you NEED to bring in players that DONT play for the school? For what reason? There were enough players with out the added players? Pathetic is not even the word. Why must coaches stoop to these levels?????? School should be embarrassed.

This is a typical TE/M&D/McD move. they not only have to win but they MUST dominate, and please do not give a bs story about how you needed these 3 MD commits in order to field a team. you could have taken M&D 23 or McD JV players and given them a chance a some needed film.

Exactly. There was no championship awarded. So why take an opportunity away from McD kids to "showcase" themselves and give it to 3 girls committed to Maryland already? TE was afraid they would lose without them is the answer. But who cares? It was just 3 meaningless games so let the kids play.

If you are playing as a school, then it should be the players that go to that said school. Why is there a NEED to bring in players that do not go to said school? Why are players who go to said school, NOT being given the chance to play...instead they got to sit on the sidelines and watch players that DO NOT go to their school play. How is this NOT an issue?

The truth is we were told "The goal is to get everyone equal time as much as possible."
But in reality it should have read, " The goal is to get my daughter as much playing time with her future Maryland teammates" And that is what happened.

Parents at McD and M&D should've shut this guy down long ago. No one will stand up to these scheming lax dads. Theyre Always pulling the strings to benefit their daughters. His daughter is a fantastic player on her own. Why all the string pulling ? Which leads to the issue of having parents coaching at club and HS levels. The stakes are too high to ever trust parents to do the right thing for everyone - not just their own child. And in almost every case the scheming parent proves this statement to be true.

No, schools cannot play as their HS team. However, the email invite specifically said this is a high school tournament and not meant for club teams. Bringing in girls from other schools takes away from the whole point of the event which is to showcase HS teams and their players. I find it hard to believe McD didn't have enough players to field an outdoor team and if so they shouldn't have entered. Will they do the same next summer in the championship tournament NHSLS? I certainly hope not.

It does not make a difference if it is an IAAM event, it makes McD look bad and McD does not like looking bad. He is using the school to push his own personal agenda. A lot more people than just JV parents are upset.

Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
He has done it for years and will continue to do so. And it did benefit his daughter in the end. Although she is touted as the #1 2022 recruit I definitely beg to differ but she was recruited immediately and she was in the recruiting issue this month so in the end it worked. It’s just sad that no one on his team or in the lacrosse community respects him and his daughter wasn’t able to earn it on her own. He took that away from her. She knows her dad is a big reason she has accomplished what she has. That is something that will stay with her forever. Shameful really.

Interesting. We played Orange Crush recently & they weren't happy we were beating them initially. It was rumored girls were "older" on team with generic jerseys and no names (2022s know each other well enough). Wonder if there is truth to that statement? Sad everyone knows about the daughter. He has his hands in everything. Pitiful really he must be very insecure with his place in the world.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
#1 recruit in 2022 class? That is funny. Very Good player but almost zero left hand and of course you score goals when daddy runs the offense through you for years and years.

Let’s look back at this in a couple years to see if CR at umd plays her that way. If so, cool and well deserved. I hope she would play the best players. If not, then us trolls will feel vindicated sitting on our couch munching Doritos and a Busch light (which matters zero in real life).

Btw if you live in the real world, you can get almost any accolade for your business if you want. Jimmy’s club shack is the top X, Y, or Z in the nation. Think it is any different in kids sports?

Beware chum in the water. What are the major women's sports? Basketball? Tennis? Volleyball? Soccer? Softball? Field hockey? Gymnastics? Track& field? Well I think BB and VB huge skew towards selection for height rules them out for best athletes, shallow pool. Of the rest I do not see lacrosse by design being narrowly selected other than its regional nature however much explosion is going on around the country. Just by number of participants/ nature of game you might have to give it to soccer. Lacrosse is a difficult game. There is an endurance/ sprint component, hand eye coordination, spatial awareness, and toughness needed to play well. The winner of the women's decathlon might be the best athlete? Who knows?

Maybe, tough to say. If the other Midfielders had the ball work through them on offense it would be easier to see. Definitely a top talent and nice girl. But not the most dominant player in the 2022 age bracket as she was in middle school when she was bigger, stronger, and faster than others. She has worked very hard and has the talent to be on UMD. She is a great player. Just not the top 2022 as some state here.
Now for the Dad coach, I wouldn't be surprised if he pops up on the UMD staff. Just saying it has happened everywhere and he knows the UMD coaches through his older daughter. Don't be shocked. Don't get me wrong, he is generally a nice guy. Just a little heavy handed when it comes to ALWAYS being on the lax staff for his daughters events and teams.

In my opinion, they are nothing but money grabs unless your daughter plays for the coach(es) that will be doing the evaluating. They know who they are taking before the tryouts begin and it's a waste of time and money.

If that is what UA can get this year they are in trouble. That club trying to get his girls on the team I guess. Weak club team and 2nd rate club. Exactly the reason American Select was started. Ps. The American select has support of all the top clubs.

Proven? Maybe those kids who made it two years ago just barely made it. Maybe they were outplayed in tryouts last year. Seems that if those kids weren’t just penciled in because they made it the year prior, that would indicate that tryouts matter.

You want fair tryouts, except for the players that have made the team before. That seems like a contradiction in theory.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
It “proves” that it has EVERYTHING to do w/ who the coaches are...look at who the coach is & see how many girls come from their school/club. The girls that didn’t even get called back last year all came from a school where their coach had coached the year prior...not good enough? Those same girls are ALL committed to TOP D1 schools!!!!

So when those girls made it and their coach was involved, they were undeserving because it is a pathetic set up. Got it.

Your daughter is going to to TOP D1 program. Get over the fact she didn’t make a money maker team 2 years in a row, or you won’t be happy when she’s at that TOP D1 program and others are playing in front of her.

The girls deserved to make it, and deserved to make it the following year but didn't because the new coach pulled in players from their school/club. So, yes it's a pathetic set up.

As long as the evaluators and coaches are connected to certain clubs and schools the process will never change. The only way it will change is for Corrigan to change it. the 22 players chosen are not the best 22 players who tried out, there is no arguing this.

I bet for the older girls if you did a NFL draft type drills for lacrosse and then some scrimmages to make the girls feel good for coming out and then just picked roster spots by their drill scores you would be giving the colleges what they want. I think the average college coach just wants to know what pieces of clay are the best. They will mold them into a masterpiece. 10th and 11th grade players should be good enough at catching and throwing as a baseline, maybe scratch some that are awful in the scrimmage. What drills? shuttle drill, catching on the run both hands 4 catches over 40 yds, 40 yd dash, back pedal drill? Shot speed? You could come up with some others to measure. It would show the potential left of players if they don't shine in the scrimmage. Obviously it would be great to do well in drills and scrimmage, but I would bet the college coach would love a super athlete over one that just had one behind the back shot go in during a scrimmage. Just my 2 cents.

This is a joke right? Some salty dads thoughts only. Looking at Baltimore command team. 8 players from Sw 23 blue and not one Sw evaluator/ coach. How did that happen. The 22’s that made it in 19 are trying out against 21’s in 2020. Might have something to do with it and if you sat in on evals you would know that 15 evaluators helped decide team. Not 1 coach could get 1 player from their school/club on a team without being called out by another evaluator. You had evaluators from lots of schools and the big clubs in MD. But keeping thinking that and don’t try out and cry it’s a bad system. Baltimore has done pretty well in these events so they most be getting it close to right. And aren’t there more than 23 top D1 players in the area. If so then quite a few don’t make it and still have a great college career. You my friend are a clown.

It is a horrible system. PERIOD. Again, how do you explain girls that made the team one year, do not even get a CALL BACK the following year? Not even called back??? That's a little strange IMO. The Highlight coach this year - non of "his girls" have made it in the past...hmmmm....what are the odds that at least 2 will be on it this year??? We will have to wait and see how UP AND UP this is...oops...it's NOT.

I'm confused with why the argument is "done" because "Highlight was 3 ladies"? One of them being a Hero's director, one being at Bryn Mawr and the other having their hand in M&D???? Sooooooo again, how is the "argument done"??????? Count how many of the girls came from M&D and Hero's alone? Hmmmmmm

the team will be mostly Redshirts this year. Heros and M&D girls should just skip tryouts this year.

Any word on where 2025 girls are going next year? Usually a big topic of discussion. doesn't seem like Taylor has recruited kids, or if MCD is not recruiting anymore. SPSG seems like the IT school! John Carroll is going to be a sleeper school watch out. Ton of 23/24 girls at JC already. Maryvale seems strong too.

Well the highlight evaluators have done something right since they've won the tournament the last two years. I don't know what kids are being referred to that made it the 2 years prior but they must be 2022s because all the 2021s that had made UA the 2 years prior made the Highlight team so they had been on the team for 3 straight years. I'm guessing you are referring to NDP 2022s since Mac Coached the Command team in 2019. Seems rather disingenuous to argue that those girls made it the 2 years prior when Mac was coaching them but when they had to move up to Highlight they didn't make it because Mac was coaching command. You are saying that girls that made it when their coach picked the team should have been guaranteed spots when he wasn't? Not to mention the fact that they also had to beat out 2021s this past year? That makes no sense.

There were a bunch of M&D and SW 2021 girls that are committed to top D1 schools that didn't get called back either. It's not easy to make the team.

IDK. If it's her, her 22 daughter had to go down and tryout and made the DC team in 2018 so she hadn't been on the Baltimore team the last 2 years. Point was that 2021 M&D and SW girls committed to MD, PSU, Michigan, JMU, Loyola and several other top schools didn't get called back either. Assuming a 2022 that had been on team 2 years prior should automatically be called back is a big assumption. I will say that for whatever reason the Highlight team had a very small amount of girls in callback game. If I remember correctly it was only 32 which means all but 10 of the girls in callback game made the team.

Bottom line is playing or not playing in the UA does not qualify you as the "BEST" or not the best (if you don't make it). There is way too much emphasis on "you have to make it to prove that your the best". There are so many girls that have never tried out, or have tried out and not made it that go on to play in top D1 schools. These girls have enough to stress out about, they don't need something like this to justify themselves as players. Just my 2 cents.

The 2025 post has nothing to do with the UA posts. You sound like a parent trying to throw shade on someone else to take it off you. Move on. Have your TOP D1 player tryout again this year. She will be the older grad year and most likely make it(with or without phone calls), and you will feel better.

FYI- yes,I did have a 22 who tried out and didn’t make it last year. She is a good player who had an average tryout and didn’t deserve to make the team last year. I’m sure there are politics but they didn’t apply to my daughter this year so leave us alone. STOP calling out kids and families on this site! Someone else obviously feels their daughter should’ve made it but stop the finger pointing. I hope my teenage daughter doesn’t hear that random adults are spending their time talking about her or her family on an anonymous forum

Maybe they knew the parents were crazy and didn't; want to deal with them??
Maybe they wanted the best team and sometimes its not always the "best players" which is really subjective anyway.
Then there is always willy wonka's golden ticket.

These girls have enough to stress out about, they don't need something like this to justify themselves as players. Just my 2 cents.
Agreed 100%

They team they picked won it all! No way to prove otherwise. Since you don’t like the way things were done then don’t sign your top level D1 daughter up.

Either did you!

TEAM SELECTION PROCESS REDEFINED.
All players within the graduation year and region are welcome to try out and compete for a spot. The tryout process will be unlike any other, with collegiate coaches evaluating and selecting players. Club coaches will not be selecting the teams.

PROFESSIONAL INDEPENDENT EVALUATORS
COLLEGIATE COACH EVALUATORS
NO CLUB COACHES WILL SELECT THE TEAMS
EACH REGION WILL HAVE 4 TEAMS - 1 PER GRAD YEAR
DIGITAL EVALUATIONS
ALL COLLEGE COACHES INVITED TO TRYOUTS
IDENTIFYING THE BEST PLAYERS FROM EACH REGION REGARDLESS OF CLUB OR HIGH SCHOOL AFFILIATION



They are only the coaches, they have nothing to do with the selection process.

There is no problem with it if the coach is objective. Last year at UA Jesters coach selected 5 of his players and YJ coach selected 15 of hers including 2 from the 2nd YJ team. Legacy had 1 girl and TG had 1 girl there is no way that is objective that's why you need an independent evaluator to select the team based on ability not what club they are from.

Coaches shouldn't have input at something like UA because they can't be objective. The same way parent coaches can't be objective. These teams should be chosen by who performs well at the tryouts. Nothing else should be considered. It shouldn't matter how strong a coach knows a girl "can be" or has been when she plays for him - it should be SOLELY based on those tryouts. And coaches know their players can perform well , even when they aren't having a good tryout, so they end up making teams like UA when other girls had better tryouts. That has always been my issue with these kinds of selection teams. And honestly - some of the girls that make these teams 100% deserve it - but alot of the time other girls are as deserving and don't ,

If independent evaluators are there and don't know the girls well - the teams would be chosen by tryout performance. You also eliminate any club/HS coaches trying to promote their players in the selection process. It is the best way to do it. I think you will see that alot of the same girls will still make the team - but if you remove the coaches and selectors from what are considered the "top" clubs in an area more girls from other teams will start to make some of these teams.

"Expert parents" won't even have a say in who gets selected. I'm not sure what that evens means.

Just my humble opinion.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
Not sure I agree about others from ‘not top’ clubs will make it. The kids in top clubs teams are mostly a step above the others due to playing the best all summer. Other than that I agree and either way 100% of the evaluators, coaches and parents will never agree on team makeup but hopefully this reduces some of the complaining.

Not the same thing in that it costs $595 to play if you are selected where as UA Underclass is free. $125 for try out for American Select and $145 to tryout for UA. $595 is an insane amount of money to expect people to pay to play in this event. Plus it's in Delaware so everyone will need to find hotels which there aren't a ton of in that area.

My guess is considering it costs $595 plus a $125 tryout fee to play in American Select that the coaches are getting paid a lot more money than they did by UA.

22 make it in 2022 thru 2025 in each region. 11K in tryout fees + 52K in tourney costs. 63K per region? Tryout fees for the other girls who don't make the teams is just icing on the cake. Just think of the cost if it was not sponsored? If you were committed already I would get my parents to give me the $700 bucks for college spending money.

The best players will make UA and AS will be for the next set of girls. UA is still the best and it hopefully leads to the biggest HS individual achievement; making the Senior UA AA game.
People.can call this past year a disaster but UA still had the best 12-15 2023 girls from the island chosen. no arguing that. maybe the last 8-10 spots were politics.
That said the AS should be a good event but the best players will still be at the FREE UA games

Can you say "best" anymore....that's what's wrong with ALL of it. It does not make you the "best" if you are selected....some of the "best" NEVER play in it...enough already with the word "best"!!

Corrigan Sports/UA had to open the Call Back Academy to anyone who tried out because they were not able to get enough players to participate otherwise. UA is slowly becoming irrelevant because of the role they let club directors, club coaches, and parent coaches play. It is not a fair process, and until you pull the clubs/high schools/parents out of the evaluation process and start to use more outside evaluators like Nike is going to ATTEMPT to do, you are going to continue to suffer. People have woke because of the gross display of bias this past summer at all regional tryouts, not just Baltimore and DC. I hope Nike is more legit for the sakes of the players and their bank accounts.

Nike is attempting to do it at the price of $720. UA is $145 if you make the team. For the life of me I can't figure out what on earth would make anyone willing to pay $575 more for the same product. Both events will have a ton of college coaches attending. Both events give you a uniform. Can't say Nike is a money grab but compared to UA it certainly is.

So notIntelligent they are on the same weekend. You will end up with 2 watered down events. Some regions the better girls will be at UA and other regions they will be at AS. Why have it on the same weekend?

The best players will try out in May for AS. UA tryouts in July will get those that didn’t make it. Plenty enough talent to fill both rosters. AS is scaring UA because it goes off first and you know no girl wants to be left out and if you just go to UA you increase your chances of missing out.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
The 22s are basically done, very few 23s will make any UA regional team. Those few that do are already known by the top college coaches. Coaches would be better served by attending AS.

Have you taken the time to look who is involved in running this event? It’s the same club directors who previously ran UA tryouts and picked their own players.. nothing has changed. They created a new event where they get to line their own pockets instead of the money going to Corrigan.
And if you play for one of the clubs whose director is involved.... there won’t be a choice as to which event you go to. forget Under Armour... you will go to American Select

Oh yeah... and if you play for a club not represented by the American Select leadership team... you’re probably not making it

I wonder if AS will do drills this year? UA has done them in the past but last year they just threw the girls on the field 18 at a time and said PLAY! Just not a fan of the whole format. Especially if you have a defensive side player. They really only look at the ones who score the goals.
Yeah, you get the good kids but this past summer at UA it was kind of laughable. The call back game had so.many.kids. Even kids from B teams whose siblings played for DIv 1- picked only for clout. We have been playing too long to not recognize this. And then the cry for attendees for the call back academy. If your girl is good, there is a school out there for her.

Whining starting already ! Those coaches won’t be involved in selecting if you can read. Also those coaches have some pretty good history at selecting kids and winning. I think I see 7 different clubs involved as well ! The players for these teams usually come from teams with the best records in each area. Why is that ? Same ones that get recruited by the better schools too!

Some great points here. Teams with only a couple true defenders and attackers. Kinda like taking only qb’s and a rb and wr for an all star football game. Need to make some roster requirements. Then again all the ball hog goal scorers will say they are more valuable than a defender that can’t score.

Whining starting already ! Those coaches won’t be involved in selecting if you can read. Also those coaches have some pretty good history at selecting kids and winning. I think I see 7 different clubs involved as well ! The players for these teams usually come from teams with the best records in each area. Why is that ?

Not whining, just pointing out the facts, if you think this event will be any different than UA... it’ll be more of the same..just money being deposited to a different bank account

Enough already. Don’t do it. Let those that want to go ahead and try. Fact is good players make these teams and some good ones get left out. May not play well on tryout day or have what evaluators look for. Sounds like you have a problem for every solution.

You should be selected for UA for everything you do in HS and club. Still be some politics but you telling me a kid who scores 50 in conf 1 and is a top player in club has a bad tryout should be cut based off tryout then you don’t want to win the tourney.
Just like USA hockey or hoops. they pick the best talent. they know who the best girls are going into tryouts and that’s why people say maybe 3-5 spots are open.

So send invites to the top kids in the IAAM
and you don’t need tryouts. Best players play in A conference. Not sure how you decide command team. Not all club teams play top level. By looks of it SW , Heros and M&D dominated rosters of both teams and all tournament.

The above statement is absurd. If you're just going to pick girls who someone considers the top players then why even have tryouts ? Instead of Under Armor 150 - just do an Under Armor top 25 and make it invite only. You're either invited or you're not. I'm sure area club coaches could agree on who they think the 25 of the strongest players in an area are. But if you're holding open tryouts that cost $125-$145 per girl then YES it should absolutely be based on the tryouts. If a girl is that good that she's getting "50 in conf 1" then it should show through tryouts. And if that same "50 in conf 1" player has a terrible tryout - then yes she should be cut. That is the purpose of an "open tryout". If it were done your way you would have to hold tryouts that were called "the first 18 spots of the roster are pre-decided and all 50 of you remaining girls can vie for 7 spots" tryouts. They would not be able to continue to attract girls to tryouts or girls would look for other events to go to - which is EXACTLY what is happening with American Select. Lord - People who make statements like the one above are the reason parents are on here complaining about tryouts being biased.

Why are the tryouts so expensive? I guess UA tryout fees are subsidizing the "main event" what is the idea behind the AS tryout fees being nearly the same? You think the college coaches deciding the teams would have a vested interest in being there anyway? Maybe it is a way to pay the college assistants some extra scratch. It is weird. I expect a big turnout for the American select game tryouts in the hot bed areas at least. You would think they could make $50 a tryout max. Jack the cost of the "main" event if you need more money. I bet they just based it off UA tryout fees. Like how now all the clubs have matched M&D's fees for tryouts. I'm bleeding but coming back for more. Insane train leaving soon all Lax parents on board!

Why would any committed 2022 player pay the $595 to play on AS? I can see the 2023-2025 girls trying out for AS since it's first but was is the gain of playing for AS if you're already committed? Roll the dice and tryout for UA since the goal once committed is to get selected for the Senior UA AA team. Playing AS instead of UA Underclass is a mistake if that is your goal.

Not sure who is telling you that AS is where the talent will go but they are lying.
Best players will still play UA. that’s a fact.
clubs involved with AS for the majority of their kids have a better shot and $$$$$. more teams for AS. only command and highlight and clubs don’t bring in the cash

Because the $$$$$ is in the tryout fee.
And 120 parents think that maybe their Katie can grab one of those 3-5 spots. Now that’s the truth and the best part is it’s up to you whether you think $150 is worth that shot. Unless of course your kid scored 57 for McDonough last spring then you are a lock.

I think the dads (I’m guessing) have lost their minds on this forum. I checked it out because my son plays HS and wanted right see what people were thinking about the HS MIAA/IAAM season. Like on the boys side, a lot of garbage given to UA selections. Generally you can argue with a few at the margins but the best players make it and shocker also play on the top few clubs. It’s not a conspiracy but the boys thread is like 10% as worked up as over here. Move on dads!

making a UA underclass team is not a condition for the making the UA senior game. There have been plenty of boys and girls that have made the senior game that may have only played 1 or 2 years on a underclass team or may not have ever played on a underclass team.

Never said it was a condition. But it certainly gets you on Corrigans and IL's radar. Considering they're the one's that choose the Senior UA teams it certainly helps. Look at the watch list Corrigan put out. Where do you think most of those names came from?

I'm sure AS will require payment prior to the UA tryouts. $595 is just crazy. $720 including tryout. You can go to 2-3 camps on college campuses for that money. What do you think you are getting for that money? The same coaches on the sidelines of AS will be on the sideline of whatever tournaments your daughter's club team will be playing in all summer. The draw of UA is that it a cool honor for the kids and IT'S FREE. If it was $595 I doubt I would have ever let my kids play in it.

That said the AS should be a good event but the best players will still be at the FREE UA games

The best players will try out in May for AS. UA tryouts in July will get those that didn’t make it. Plenty enough talent to fill both rosters. AS is scaring UA because it goes off first and you know no girl wants to be left out and if you just go to UA you increase your chances of missing out.

Why would any committed 2022 player pay the $595 to play on AS? I can see the 2023-2025 girls trying out for AS since it's first but was is the gain of playing for AS if you're already committed? Roll the dice and tryout for UA since the goal once committed is to get selected for the Senior UA AA team. Playing AS instead of UA Underclass is a mistake if that is your goal.

If a player had the choice of WHICH to play - UA or AS, which would they choose? Which looks better for them ?

UA is much more important in terms of being selected for the UA Senior AA game. If anything skipping UA underclass for AS may hurt you in that process[/quote
making a UA underclass team is not a condition for the making the UA senior game. There have been plenty of boys and girls that have made the senior game that may have only played 1 or 2 years on a underclass team or may not have ever played on a underclass team.

It sounds like UA is the team to make, AS will pick up the kids that didnt make UA.

It won't be able to work that way since the AS tryouts are much earlier. If you want to make UA you will have to run that risk of not making it and not playing in either event.

Of course it's not that "important". But it means a lot to the kids that have worked so hard over the years to be recognized. Stop being obtuse.

Does anyone know how Under Armour 150 selects the players? How important is their game video submission? Do they only take so many from each club/team? And for folks who have been to the event in the past - is it a good one to go to? Thanks in advance.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
Try out for AS, if you make it pay them Try out for UA and if you make it now you can decide where to go.
The folks running these events know how to separate you from your money. The timing and scheduling of these tryouts and events is not random.

I don’t believe the event is very selective, offers are sent to most club players.
The value of any film is currently very high.. the entire 2022 class was selected based on film. The more film you can have at your disposal will be a bonus. If things return to 2019 and coaches are roaming events again, the value of film will be decreased, it’s never unless tho.
The only negative to this type of event is you will be placed on a random team with disparate skill levels. If you’re on a weak team and play attack the ball may never get to your end, same with goalie or defense on a stronger team.
Like any event, if it fits in your schedule and you can afford, it’s worth going too.

This year it's the same time as the new HS National Championship tournament. The college coaches will be at the HS Championships. If your team isn't going to that tournament, I'd go to UA150 for some film.

1500 players tried out for 300 spots. So maybe more selective than in years past?
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
We got great film from our stint at UA 150. My daughter is a defensive middie and some of these girls were like putty in her hands. She got very good film from this tournament because of it. Note that some of these girls were like fish out of water back in the "Big East".
The selection of players seemed very random though. Lots of flyover country girls. There was a good sprinkling of girls from all clubs, not overloaded with one club and it seemed the organizers did not let that happen - that means some SW and M&D girls probably were turned away.
They got over 1500 submissions this year and with Covid, building accolades has been difficult so I think thats why so many girls applied this year. Its all about building your recruit profile so you need as many accolades as possible. Just like the person said about the 22's--- recruited all on film.
I say if you get the chance - do it. Its during the week, you get lots of film, and great swag.

College coaches are currently in season until they hope they end of May. They have their own teams to worry about. They don’t have time to go watch high school games while in their own season. 5/31 will stick. Highly doubt they will extend it past that when summer tournaments kick off in June and it will have been a year since players were watched from a sideline.

Exactly. Lacrosse will not factor into this decision at all. This will be up to what basketball coaches want to do. I know we live in our lacrosse bubble but the NCAA doesn't care about lacrosse when it comes to decisions like this.

No one has thought that until the last 2 years and really not until this year as McD still had a ton of great players last year. If anything SPSG overachieved making the finals 2 years ago and taking McD to double OT twice.

Knowing that most of the kids that are going to sp live withing 5-10 mins I would say geography has some play. Doesn't hurt that friends and siblings attend as well. From a parent that has no skin in the game.

The fact that SPSG has the best coach that got into training a lot of these up and coming girls when they were younger certainly plays a part in it. She identified a lot of talent early and recruited them for years.

People got sick of paying TC $120 for a training session that she barely paid attention to and MG became the main trainer for a lot of these girls.

Wow - then all those girls who live in HOward County and play for clubs who practice far out in howard county really live close to SPSG. Who cares where anyone chooses to go to school but it is not geography. Its that SPSG will have a good team with a good coach -and people think they'll take over one of the top spots around - and that's ok. but that's what it is.

That might be the case also. SP is a good school, so there are many reasons why some would choose to send their daughter. It also doesn't hurt that at least 4-5 of the girls that are going there live in the area. So why drive farther for the same thing.

Hysterical...8th grade Parents (Yes, we know who the crazy parent is) are even weighing in. Let THIS SEASON play and worry about your 8th Club Team. When your daughter gets to High School, then make comments if your daughter even makes Varsity. Too many club parents want to say my daughter is on Varsity as a Freshman. It’s an honor, but unless they are seeing substantial time on the field as a Varsity player (which is rare) they should be on a Fresh/Soph or JV team and being a leader. Stop trying to brag on FB/Instagram/SnapChat that your 9th grader made varsity. In reality, her field time will be extremely limited, but by all means, push for her to be a bench warmer so you can brag on Social Media.

You mean, it's more important to actually PLAY than sit the bench?! Noooooo

Parents just don't get it, which unfortunately rubs off on the kids. Just look at what happened to the GCS 2021 class when many of them didn't make varsity as freshman.

In reality, her field time will be extremely limited, but by all means, push for her to be a bench warmer so you can brag on Social Media.

Plenty of freshman play substantial minutes in HS. Sorry if yours didnt

When yours does you can talk. Until then hush ! At good schools many are there to learn for when their time comes. A few special ones play. I see 1 at spsg that can contribute next year if she keeps working. Tall draw girl and left handed. Most will be just wearing a uniform. I wanna see my kid play not just share a seat on the bus with a contributor. On another note word is another 24 joining spsg so someone in 25 class gets bumped down.

My daughter is a senior and has started every game she’s ever played on a top IAAM team. So have many others. So plenty of us can talk and actually know what we’re talking about and not be a loudmouth parent of an 8th grader telling people their kids won’t play as freshman when you have absolutely no idea.

You mean, it's more important to actually PLAY than sit the bench?! Noooooo

Parents just don't get it, which unfortunately rubs off on the kids. Just look at what happened to the GCS 2021 class when many of them didn't make varsity as freshman.

Since GCS 2021 class was only 4 girls and All of them made and played on Varsity, you definitely have no clue what you are talking about.

Mine cant be the only one...

Do these girls who are in their second yr of college - have they ever felt this way???

Lots of girls feel this way. Those on top teams feel like they have to stick it out to make their parents happy. Those at lower tier give it up easier for sure. Number 1 reason kids at all levels quit is when the team drama is more an issue than learning abs having fun with their friends.

To her credit, I was already sick of the lacrosse drama in 2nd grade, but loved to play. So she decided to become the goalie and has never looked back.

Dear 7th & 8th grade moms and dads. Embrace these years because these are the years that your daughter loves lacrosse the most. It’s very competitive at this age so enjoy the ride. it won’t be like this once they get thrown into the mix that is high school. Thank me later.

IAAM Predictions?
I'd say that McD, SPSG and NDP are in the top tier. GCS and Bryn Mawr in the next group. Gerstell, Maryvale, RPCS, John Craroll, Spalding and St. Marys in tier 3. And Garrison, Severn and Mt de Sales in final group

NDP should drop and GCS move up to tier 1. John Carroll should be at the top of tier 3, maybe into tier 2.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
I agree with ST Pauls and MCD. i dont know much about NDP except to say coach is excellent and are always competitive. Bryn Mawr has an excellent Goalie and picked up some really good freshman which will help that team. I think Maryvale will surprise some people. Also a strong goalie and some really good athletes. Hope they let fans attend games because it should be an exciting season. Good Luck to all the girls and praying for an injury free season for all teams.!!

Based on the 15-3 loss to SPSG last Thursday John Carroll is going to have to show a lot more to belong in tier 2.

Sounds like most schools are at least allowing 1-2 parents per player to attend for now. Hopefully will open up more as the season progresses. Just glad they're playing and that some fans are allowed.

Byrn Mawr and Maryvale play Wednesday so we'll see how it shakes out.

That's just silly. There's no way Maryvale, GCS or BM are better than McD or NDP.

SPSG and NDP are the most experienced teams with a lot of seniors that have already played a lot of games in the IAAM. BM may be 3rd in that category. Most the other schools hardly have any girls that have even played much meaningful time in an IAAM game. McD and GCS have good junior classes but most of them didn't play much as freshman as the 2020 classes at both schools was loaded.

These girls all have so much game experience at the club level, showcases, etc. I wouldn't make too much out of who has more experience playing in IAAM games.

I agree these will be the top teams. McD and NDP lost a ton of talent this past year, but I am not counting them out. SPSG gained a ton of talent. GCS only lost 1 or 2 seniors and gained strong 23s.

I think this will be SPSG’s year. Will MG go out on top after? I hope not. She has done amazing things there.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
I think it all comes down to the upperclassman. SPSG has the strongest 21 class, so I think this is their year. GCS has the strongest 22 class, I see them being in the mix for the next 2 years. Just my 2 cents.

this is the densest statement i have seen on this page in quite a while. most of the GCS juniors had a playing time as freshmen. 2 even started the entire year. There are several McD juniors that also played a lot as freshmen.

SPSG didn't add a lot of talent this year. Only a couple freshman made varsity. They're going to be good because they start 7 or 8 seniors and most of them have started every game since they were freshman.

If you think age based club games in any way come close to playing in the IAAM I question if your daughter has every played in the IAAM.

Every year people are on here talking about how great GCS is going to be. I remember when the 2021s got there and people were on here talking about how great the 2021 class was at GCS. Now there are only 5 2021s on the team and only a couple of them play a lot. They didn't even have a JV team so of course a ton of the 2022s were on varsity as freshmen.

They have no point. 'only a couple of them play a lot'...3 are starters. No one has said the GCS is going to be great, only that they can contend. Which is what they have done since moving to the A division by making the semi finals each year. Maybe they get to the finals this year, and maybe they don't

No box scores, but game scores come out pretty fast here:

GCS has finished in the top 3 of the A conference for past 3 years and lost by a goal in the semis the past 2 years. There are actually only 4 seniors and all of them have played a significant amount, all 4 are committed to play in college. With a solid group of 22s (11 college commits??) I think its safe to say they will be strong this year and next. SPSG and McD are probably the 2 teams to beat but GCS should be right there.

PLEASE STOP. Stop with this and that. Who will be or should be in the top 5. Who really cares???

Be excited for all the girls to be on the field and playing. Who cares if they are in 9th or 12th grade, or what they did over the past 4 years.

Watch the girls play. For the love of God, be happy that they are playing after a year of no high school sports. Cheer for them, celebrate them, hug them.

Great site that has scores and schedule is the IAAMSPORTS.COM

I’m not new here. Just completely agitated. Parents rant and rave here, live in the past, post silliness about what 9th grader played, or what team should or should not be in top 5.

Here is an idea, if you want to play, get a stick and play. Oh wait, you’re the adult. So act like it.

Life is short. Too short for many, hug your kids, enjoy their ability to play and cheer them on. I have never witnessed the venom and crazy as things that are posted here about high school sport.

Oh. And yes, before the reply posts start, I am a parent. However, I actually player semi-pro baseball, so before the posts come about me being a dad and their kid not playing, it has nothing to do with that. I actually made it to the next level after high school and college. And yes, my daughter is on varsity.

It amazes me how adults can’t lift kids up, cheer for them, but rather post this team or that team should or could be #1 if this or that happened. Or that 3 years ago there was a JV and that’s why all the kids made varsity. WHO CARES

Take it from a someone that put in the time and effort, when it’s over, you remember the companionship of teammates and the support of your family. Yes, it’s great to win, but not at the expense of vilification of an opponent. Try to remember that next time you post. If you don’t think your daughter is watching you and your actions, then you have completely missed the boat.

So we should take advise from mr, semi-pro,,,,

Does semi - pro mean beer league ? Dude was a couple bloops away from the independent league.

The advise is...get a grip! Enjoy watching your daughters play & stop going on here to make a dig at players/schools/clubs/etc. Do you not have a life? Does it make you feel better to go on here & put daughters/schools down? It’s sad to think that parents share the sidelines w/ the parents that go on here & make the comments that they do.

Thanks Jackie Moon!!

So people should only post about how great it is that the kids are playing and how they hugged their daughter after a fair contest between two great teams? Not really the point of the site. Some of the vitriol is definitely over the top but there’s nothing wrong with people arguing which team is better. As lobbyists as individual girls aren’t called out in a negative way. That crosses the line.

And you 2 clowns prove my point. Been there and done it, that was the point. Obviously you both want to live in society of making fun and putting peeps down. Little less commentary and little more listening.

Just celebrate your daughters, pick each other up, no need to be a negative clown. Be an adult. Be kind, be an example for your daughter

I think debating is good. Cheering for your daughters team is great. But calling kids or teams out negatively is exactly what is wrong with society.

The world would be better with a little Kindness. We can and will disagree, that is a normal. But to denigrate teams or players, just not what the world needs. Be an example for our kids

So discussing which teams are best is denigrating? Man you must be fun to be around on a daily basis. May as well shut the site down. So someone saying SPSG, McD and NDP are the best 3 teams is denigrating to who exactly? The other teams? Does it hurt your feelings when someone says that? I’m confused

I completely agree that it is ridiculous that they are not allowing spectators (it's outside, give me a break)...but I also think some of these girls are probably enjoying the "quiet" instead of screaming crazy parents (since there are WAY too many out there).

One person should be permitted to attend games for carpool reasons alone because teams are not traveling via bus this season and players are responsible for their own rides. Not every team in the IAAM has 16 year old 9th and 10th graders who can drive themselves.

On its way? they were top 2 or 3 in the league the past few years. They've been there. Not sure they have enough to win it all, but they should be near tops of the league again. GCS has beaten NDP 2 out of past 3 games they've played with each game being a 1 or 2 goal game. Will probably be close again.

GCS didn't cater to kids in their own school and that's why so many left in January. They would rather virtue signal than listen to science or to the parents paying tuition.

No one on the girls lax team left. if you are referring to the few on the boys team that left, they left to attend a school in that plays in the MIAA A division. there was no mass exodus of students from gcs. they are one of the few schools back in school 4 days a week.

Thank you for the apology. I really don't know what they are thinking as it is totally clueless response to the current situation. Playing basketball inside a gym, I get it. But standing outside watching a game is not allowed?? Really??

Agree. This is a weird season after no having a season. This season seems to be riddled with early injuries as well. It could be anyone’s year. Why don’t the hot heads just sit back and watch some great IAAM lacrosse and be glad there is a season.

So reading comprehension isn’t your forte? The post said 2 of the worst. Not the 2 worst. I’m pretty certain neither GF or Severn will end up with more than 3 or 4 wins. John Carroll, Mt de Sales and Gerstell will also end up in the bottom 5.

So you don't think those 5 along with Roland Park will be the bottom of the IAAM this year? If not, who will? There's a clear segregation between McDonogh, SPSG, NDP, Glenelg, Brwn Mawr, Maryvale, Spalding and St. Mary's and the other 6,

Not enough games have been played.

Take St Mary's for example. St Mary's barely beat JC and Gerstell. And gave Maryvale a game. This is gonna be a weird year with Covid and shutdowns. Any given weekday.

SPSG has never lost to Gerstell. They did lost to Mt de Sales 2 years ago. Mt de Sales then beat a good RPCS game in their next game in playoffs.

With the amount of games that have been going on, cases seem to be very low if any amongst teams. While I blasted IAAM for mandating masks on the field, it seems to be allowing these players to continue to play. I just hope the games can be rescheduled for the schools who are having to postpone them.

IAAM isn't mandating masks. It is determined by the home team. Some schools require masks and some don't.

SPSG is shut down all next week too.

Correct. SPSG has never lost to Gerstell. They lost to MDSA 2 years ago. One of MDSA's 3 conf victories. But MDSA went on to lose to RP in the playoffs the next week.

Keep hearing how STM is unstoppable in the IAAM A conference is this true? Didn't they lose to Maryvale and close games with Spalding and Gertsell?

Beating the teams they have by 1 or 2, or 0-4 RPCS by 8 is not unstoppable in the IAAM A. Come back when they play the top teams and then we’ll discuss.

Oh I agree there seems to be a reporter that keeps tweeting how they are unstoppable and a force to be reckoned with in the A conference. Sounds a little biased to me since there are three undefeated teams that STM as yet to face.

SM had wins against John Carroll, Gerstell and Spalding who are 1-4 YTD and RPCS is 0-4 YTD so just playing easy opponents. No real competition yet. And what is going on with Spalding? Nationally ranked in 2019 and now a 1-4 record with only win against Garrison Forest who is also 1-4 YTD. From what I saw the other day, Spalding has a huge bench with very capable and committed players who I know from club and past years but only a few actually saw the field. Some players never got a break and were completely gassed by the end of the game and making unforced errors. Not sure what is going on there but looked like very poor girl coaching to me!

Because the whole team was built around one girl and she's at PSU now. Not sure how well coached they are when they don't have someone to go score goals for them.

She works for the Capital Gazette and only covers the AA County teams. She is also known for hyperbole.

STM is a middle of the pack IAAM team this year.

"She works for the Capital Gazette" And probably a STM grad by the way she swoons over the STM midfielder every article and ignores other girls. STM has this culture for those that went there k-12 and their kids that attend k-12. If you aren't that, you are lost in the shuffle to the families who influence the school and sports. This girl is a great player, but others on team (non-STM lifers) get very limited recognition. I bet the other 11 girls contribute (just a little) to the team.

just like every article in the Sun about McD centers around a certain middie.

And looks like PSU is doing the same. Great player having a great first year.

I’ve heard the HC at Spalding is leaving after this year to run Integrity full time anyway. My daughter is freshman at another AA school and I was surprised how many Integrity freshmen were on Spalding V and got significant play time when they played each other last week. Looks like HC is putting things in place for her benefit before she leaves. The girls are decent but not IAAM V level yet. Lucky break for them but probably why they are struggling. Their bench was entirely too big and barely any subbing. Didn’t make any sense. Best part is we beat them for the first time in 10 years so lucky break for us too. I’m sure parents will see through what is happening at Spalding and make decisions accordingly.

It is kinda surprising they haven't done well even without the Penn St. kid. Spalding has alot of DI commits.

Coach not playing to win is the problem. There are college commits who have yet to see the field but the freshmen play a lot. Integrity freshmen. Serving the coach’s self interest is the game plan. As a parent it is maddening but my daughter is almost out of there and we are ready. We are looking forward to college lacrosse.

If you are committed that means you are entitled to PT, thought that was something earned? Those same committed girls may never see the field in college.

Absolutely PT is earned. My daughter is playing a lot and has earned her PT but I also know the girls sitting on the sideline and they have earned their PT too. I know their work ethic and their skills. I’ve watched them play for years. When young players are making multiple errors on the field and not getting the job done they need to be removed from the field. There is a talented bench to pull from and this isn’t happening and it’s very frustrating to witness. Especially when you know there is a self interest reason why the coach is playing who she is playing. We have never had this many freshmen/sophomores on varsity. We have a large senior class. There is no valid reason. These coaching decisions are reflected in our results so far this year and I’m disappointed for our girls who have worked very hard the last 4 years.

Don't really know many of the players but looking on IL the team may have a good amount of commits but they aren't really to many top programs. One to MD, one to VT, Louisville, Yale, Delaware, high point, William and Mary, VCU and Tampa. If you compare that to commits of McD, SPSG, NDP and even Bryn Mawr and Maryvale it's not really a surprise they're struggling.

AS commits to some of the bigger schools aren’t gonna play major roles at college. Look for them to be in transfer portal to smaller schools with a chance to play. The Yale player is legit.

60% of the girls in IAMM are playing for Mommy and Daddy. I’m an IAMM parent for full disclosure. I won’t quote higher but these girls eat, sleep, and breath lacrosse. It get to be a bore after a while. I’m not going to have her spend her lunch hour outside throwing wall ball. She needs to work on her social skills and dream about life and not 5am workouts Into her junior year at Univ of ABC. What got me to here is watching these parents usher their kids through this process. The competitiveness for sure, but then there was the tight-lipped sneakiness. Showing up to camps, playdays, and tryouts without letting others on the club or school know about it. The uber-creative accolades. Just kind of sad. It’s ok to send your daughter to Tampa or Louisville. Great weather and great social life! William and Mary is beautiful and knee-deep than anyone else in history and is close(-er) to the beach. She can become a veterinarian at VT! (If her coach allows...)

I agree 100% with this. I am also an IAAM parent. You could not have said it any better.

Sure there’s nothing at all wrong with the schools the Spalding girls are going to. They should be proud that their hard work paid off and they are able to parlay it into a good education at a good school. Still doesn’t mean that seeing what schools the girls at schools are committed to doesn’t provide a bit more insight to what Spalding is struggling that complaining about the coach playing some younger girls over some of those seniors.

How about McDonagh beating the Stone Ridge team
11/10 in OT. A round of applause for the homer stripes.
SR down a man for much of the 4th and down 2 in OT. Would not have been close in a neutral. Give #34 a whistle as she was calling the game for the stripes. What a joke. Overrated!!!

Agreed. They escaped with help from the stripes. I see them losing 2-3 games in the IAAM.... to SPG, NDP, and possibly GCS.

read the Sun article on this game. No mention of Stone Ridge playing down 1 for the last 6 minutes and down 2 for OT. You would think McD just pulled off the great upset. The way the Sun drools over McD and SPSG you would never know there are 12 other IAAM teams

Agree, if you are going to write an article about a great overtime win, include a key part of SR being down 2 players - makes a BIG difference in a game.

the first of many this year. The Sun has a lot of catching up to do now that SPSG is back playing to go along with the weekly McD article

McD is not overrated. They have deserved every bit of the spotlight all these years, and maybe even more so this year because they are still winning without all of the powerhouses from the last two years. But yesterday McD won because of the man down and two man down situations SR was in the last 8 minutes of the game and OT. Had SR been full strength, the game would not have gone into OT. McD played a more dramatic game the second half in order to draw calls and cards and it worked, especially inside the 12m.

McD players are queens of the flop. This was a CR staple at M&D and McD and has carried over to the TC reign.

Can’t fault them for it because it is part of the game, especially in college. Take note SPSG, NDP, GCS.

the first of many this year. The Sun has a lot of catching up to do now that SPSG is back playing to go along with the weekly McD article

Well considering the reporter that wrote the SPSG article is leaving the Sun I don't know how many more HS write ups we will get for Baltimore teams anymore

As a coach you should be teaching your players to respect the calls of the officials, not arguing with them every time you don’t like the call against you.

Just like a McD dad. I think you are going to be the one who is surprised. Start preparing your excuses.

I wouldn't be surprised if McD swept as I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't. I would say any given Sunday to the top 4 teams, who ever those teams may be. One thing that will be no surprise, is these matchups will surely make for some great lacrosse.

Agree. I think it shows how much the game has grown. There is so much talent out there and its now all spread out and continuing to spread which makes for more competitive games which make for great lacrosse. Good luck out there today.

Good talent out there but I think NDP edges out slightly. Their D is the tie breaker, extremely high pressure and in your face coverage making it extremely challenging for even some of the best offenses, almost Syracuse like.

This has to be the year for SPSG right? After this loaded 21 class where MG brought in most of her club, they will be back down to where they have been the past 4 years, middle of the pack in IAAM. Looks like most of their scorers for SPSG were seniors.

Explain how GCS was outcoached? SP started winning the draw and in lacrosse you win the draw (or faceoff in boys lax) you control the game. SP had 3 girls that could win the draw. What happened on the first 3 draws of the game?..GCS won the draw and was up 3-0. After that SP started winning the draws and the game reversed course.
Learn the game of lacrosse and stop being obtuse. Once again please explain where GCS was out coached?

Lets be honest. SPSG has been a middle of the road team the past 5 years. Were they outcoached those years? Since 2017 (the year GCS came into the IAAM "A" Conference) Here are the top teams by conf record (Win/Loss). Not counting this year
McD- 37-0
NDP-30-7
GCS-28-9
Spalding- 26-11
SPSG- 19-18

I guess MG just learned to coach this year and the GCS coach forgot??

Most of her club? There's 4 M&D 2021 girls on the team. And back where they were the past 4 years do you mean losing in double OT in the finals two years ago and losing to McD in semis 3 years ago? Not too bad if that's the case. They get almost as many goals from sophs as they do from seniors.

One thing you should probably know, or are forgetting, is that most posts on here that appear to be from parents of a certain school aren't. Most boastful posts are just people feeding trolls and trying to start up s*#@. No SPSG parent would say that BR got out coached yesterday. The draws were the difference in the game. The game got away from GCS in second half. So if someone said that they probably weren't at the game.

Lots of good teams and good games. Tomorrow should be another one.

out coaches. It happens to the best of coaches to get out coached. Even professional coaches admit when it happens.

To answer the GCS coach or parent that keeps asking:

1. SPSG lost the first 3 draws and then made adjustments to win draw. That is 1st example.

2. GCS couldn’t contain SPSG offensive threats. It’s called face guarding. That is 2nd example.

3. GCS runs same offense over and over. Leads to missed opportunities. Defense figure out that one girl feeds from X. That is the 3rd example.

4. If the game is getting away, substitution of players might be an option. Keeping same girls on the field when it’s not working is a recipe for disaster. That is 4th example.

Sorry coach BR, you didn’t have your best game in the coaching box.

Sorry coach BR, you didn’t have your best game in the coaching box.

See below:

1. SPSG lost the first 3 draws and then made adjustments to win draw. That is 1st example.

SPSG has 3 players to use for the draw. GCS and most schools does not. Even MG said that having 3 is an advantage that most teams do not have. This has nothing to do with coaching

2. GCS couldn’t contain SPSG offensive threats. It’s called face guarding. That is 2nd example.

Face guarding is when you shut a player off completely (what teams used to do to Megan Whittle) You cannot face guard multiple players at the same time. you run the D that best fits the personnel on your team. Sometimes it works and sometimes it does not.

3. GCS runs same offense over and over. Leads to missed opportunities. Defense figure out that one girl feeds from X. That is the 3rd example.

Once again, you run the offense that best fits your personnel. Sometimes it works and sometimes it does not.

4. If the game is getting away, substitution of players might be an option. Keeping same girls on the field when it’s not working is a recipe for disaster. That is 4th example.

Obviously you did not look at the number of players that GCS carries on varsity. They only carry around 20 so they can also field a JV team. GCS is a very small school( average class size around 80 students and also co-ed) and does not have the student-athlete population that SPSG, McD or NDP has to choose from. That said GCS has made the semi final each year they have been in the A Division with small rosters

GCS was also missing a starting middie and attacker. When you have a small squad even a few injuries can make a big difference

GCS did not play well as a team on Monday, but BR did not get out coached, GCS just got out played...it happens,

Weak examples of being outcoached.

Draws are streaky and can be matchup oriented.
Face guarding isn't a coaching adjustment, its the last gasp.
Girls can simply execute better.
Coaches see these kids in practice for 20 hrs a week and know their true colors. They know more than we do what they are capable of.

my god you're a fool if you think GCS and SPSG are equally talented. They are not just based on the depth of each team. GCS has very little depth at attack or defense and only 5-6 middies because they have a very small roster. SPSG has more talent on the bench than GCS which makes them more talented overall.

Who cares? And just because the roster is bigger doesn't mean SPSG plays any more players than GCS does until the game got out of hand.

Typical. When GCS get called out try to have it both ways. They are so good, broke out stats from 2017 forward indicating they are better than SPSG. Now saying they don’t have a deep bench because it’s a small school or players were injured. Or SPSG has mostly seniors or MG has her entire club team there. = Excuses.

Heros has a pipeline to GCS and has very talented squad. No question that it is an INDIVIDUAL talented team. Coach needs to harness that talent.

BR failed to adjust and coach. Nobody said he is a bad coach or the team is bad. In that game, BR was out-coached. It happens, even in professional sports.

McD hadn't lost a league game since 2008 until today. SPSG still has over a decade of being obnoxious to come anywhere close to McD parents. Even their own boys team was banned from watching today because they were booing the girls team in the Stone Ridge game.

This shift in power has been in the works for several years. M&D, SW and Heros 2021 teams were all very good nationally and dominated the club tournaments for years. TLC's 21 team was also very good for years but suffered multiple defections. However, several very good players remained on TLC (girls going to JHU, Denver, OSU, Vandy...).

GCS has the Heros 21s. NDP has several SW 21s and nearly all of the TLC 21s (the very good goalie is at RPCS). SPS has several of the SW 21's and several of the M&D 21s. Those M&D 21s not being at McD is the difference between those two teams this year. It sounds like the younger M&D Black players are all at McD so this aberration is likely temporary.

SPS and NDP have the best concentration of seniors in the IAAM and that is why those two teams will likely meet in the finals.

The coach is wasting really great talent on her team by relying on one player. TC is one of the best players to ever play the game, but she should not be coaching. No one should be surprised SPSG won this game. They play outstanding team ball, they are fast and focused. Hats off to them. It’s their year and it is deserved.

The Sun also posted the article about SPSG beating MCD, but yet all pics were about praising the MCD team.

American Select is supposed to be less bias. Under Armour - they know who they are taking before tryouts begin.

It’s not surprising he said this at all. He is a confident coach who knows what he’s talking about.

I wouldn't call it stunning. I think most people kind of expected McD to lose.

Oh I'm not saying he's wrong. Just surprised he said it. Though there's certainly no love lost for TC among the other IAAM coaches.

Coach at SPSG knows how to develop and so does NDP coach. In order to win every player has to feel a part of the team and every player has to be developed. Both those coaches get it. The real question is does MCD coach get that?

I don't believe so. I think it's obvious in the tweets during games on who runs the show. There are plenty of girls on that team, but you only consistently read about 3?

I don't think its that there's not love for TC. I think it's that the coaches of IAMM schools are good coaches and their teams are good teams but all the shine goes to McDonough. It's annoying. And this year in particular the shine is not warranted. So I don't think it's aimed at anyone personally. It just gets old that no matter how good any others teams are it's always about McD. Hopefully this season will change that.

I know alot of IAMM parents from several different schools and none of them were surprised St Pauls won that game. Only McDonough supporters & parents were surprised.

There is something really wrong with the coaching at McDonogh. So much talent that should have carried that team to a win without their best player, but when the coaching staff revolves the entire offense around one, things like today happen. GCS played an incredible game. They were hungry for the win. They got it. Congratulations to both SPSG and GCS. When you rely on the whole team, you win.

In my opinion when the Robinson brothers left McDonogh the "aura of invincibility" left. That may start some vitriol on this board but I went back and looked at the archives on the IAAM website after the McDonogh loss to SPSG. To go 190 straight games undefeated and win nine consecutive IAAM championships with the very difficult IAAM and out of conference schedule they played was beyond impressive. I am sure Taylor will be a great coach but that is a really tough act to follow.

For people who can’t watch the game-it’s not creepy to follow their Twitter to see what’s happening. 3 girls scored & no credit because it wasn’t their star? That’s sad. Obviously there’s no “team” w/ in that team.

TC definitely knows the game, but that may not translate into a good coach. McD also is not getting all the talent they once did. That may be a school admin choice. McD had 6 yellows and red card yesterday, that’s not good coaching

Robinson was a great coach and it may be unfair to hold TC to that standard. Don’t forget that before McDonogh, Robinson twice led a MD public school to the #1 ranking nationally and a winning streak that included wins over many of the private school powers of the day.

I’m sorry but this stuff and your hypothesis on this player is ludicrous. The dad is controversial, yes. The player is undeniably one of the most talented players to play the game at the high school level, and she will no doubt make an impact at the college level. She was out with a concussion from a hit in the St.Paul’s game and didn’t play in GCS game. An adult coming on here to bash a high school girl- who by the way is one of the nicest and most hardworking young ladies out there is a shame and you should be embarrassed.

This is really stretching. Sorry! I do question her being at the game if she suffered a concussion 2 days prior? Was she there? It’s a legality issue if she was on the sidelines w/ a head injury! They lost. They lost 2 games. She was at the one & they still lost.

Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
Not sure if she was on the sidelines Friday. I’m sure she will be out the rest of this season. A doctor will not clear a player for full contact play in 2-3 weeks even w a mild concussion if they are following protocol, especially if any priors. Not to bash a specific player but if she was as good as touted, than why does the coach dad have to be so involved and make sure all plays run through her? And why is TC having all plays run through her. Plenty of super talented girls on that team. Great players make even better TEAMmates. It’s not her fault. Her Dad has set this up. He should have more confidence in her abilities and let her shine on her own. I know she would still be a great player. Just detest that her teammates are sacrificed on her behalf - both in club and high school. And who runs McD’s Twitter anyway!

Is it ironic a certain player was “out” of the GCS game when playing the team being coached by that player’s future college coach’s husband? I think not. This was on purpose. Player’s Dad knew they were going to lose and wanted to protect daughter. Make it look like her absence was the reason and that she is that important. He’s been running the show since grade school and everyone else on her “teams” are incidental. The fact she is the #1 2022 recruit and plastered all over the magazines is a joke. He’s playing everyone. I would not want my daughter to be her “teammate” at Maryland either. TC is just figuring out her first big coaching mistake. Hopefully this will be a lesson for CR too or else UMD will continue to lose their domination on the college scene as well. Too much talent out there now. The days of McD and UM dominating are well over and will never return. The key is “Team”. I see so many coaches in the IAAM coach like CR and not use their bench. The key to building a great team is building a deep bench and successfully subbing ALL of these players. Middies who run the entire game eventually burn out and get injured. Subbing is such a key factor that can be the difference maker. I’ve seen so many IAAM teams lose games this season by a few goals cause they didn’t effectively sub. And I’ve seen so many talented girls just standing on the sideline while the coach let it happen - usually due to club/parent politics.

You knows it’s entirely possible that a lot of her “super talented” teammates are overrated. It’s also true that most of the girls on McD had never played meaningful minutes in the IAAM until this year. Meanwhile SPSG and NDP have quite a few senior girls that have started every game they’ve played since their freshman year. People think that playing high level club lacrosse is similar to IAAM lacrosse and it’s just not true.the schemes run by the good coaches that have their team 6 days a week is entirely different then playing summer club games on teams that practice 10-12 times all summer.

I think it’s safe to say there are actually 2 or more girls on McD (& same two girls from her club team) who are actually better players. Hopefully now they will get to show everyone since she’s not there for TC to run all the plays through. She won’t be able to play this week since she had a concussion. If she does play, she didn’t have a concussion. Concussion protocol won’t allow her to be cleared this week.

i agree. you want to question the fathers motives , coaching or school itself that's fine but the health and well being of a high school junior is no one's business but the family's. if you don't think all the stuff said on this site gets back to her you are mistaken. You people need to get a life

There are not 2 girls on McD better than the player being discussed. If anyone actually thinks that they are just hating on the girl. Think what you want about her father but pretending like she's not a fantastic player is just trolling.

Agreed. But, since no one is better, should no one be involved?

Why note have Lebron take every shot, initiate every set/sequence. Why not have Joey Spallina dodge to the goal every time? Why not have Izzy Scane isolate each time for Northwestern?

Because if you do, other teams will quickly learn to stop that - it is not playing as a TEAM. And that is exactly what is happening right now.

Sorry to disappoint but I don’t have a daughter playing. I’m actually an official so I travel to many schools in the area and see many teams. Over time you get to know who these players and coaches are.

How many consecutive Final 4s has UMD gotten to. And how many championships has CR won?? More than anyone else in the past 10 years i believe. And college isnt club where everyone plays the same. Her job is to win and she has been doing that better than anyone in college lacrosse. You do realize you are criticizing the defending IAAM champ coach and defending NCAA champ coach about not being able to coach, right?
I think every single girl out there would love to play like Taylor. She was a great all around player who played defense, won draws and played offense. She didnt play in a offense like Syracuse or BC do where 2-3 players rack up points (see Kayla Traynor, Sam Appuzzo, etc.). She was able to win 3 Tewaaraton trophies while also having great teammates around her and WINNING.
If Maryland and McD success means there is no coaching, you are clearly delusional and upset that your daughter didn't get recruited there.

Oh, and does today's win mean that Taylor outcoached Ford? How about 2019 when McD beat Ford and Gagnon? Did she have coaching acumen then?

I am sure Taylor will be a great coach but that is a really tough act to follow.

Like I have been saying, SPSG with the sweep. Stomp your feet, pump your chest, detest McD, love McD, detest 34, love 34, detest her dad, love her dad, detest TC, love TC, it doesn’t really matter. Their reign, because there really is no better word for it, seems to be up for grabs and it’s a great thing for the sport of lacrosse in this area. I for one am looking forward to watching amazing athletes in a great game tomorrow at Saint Paul’s.

The vitriol on here needs to stop. Both coaches did fine yesterday. No one out coached the other. McD beat NDP because of good old fashion fundamentals and lax basics. NDP missed an inexcusable amount of shots-some right in top of the goal, missed a bunch of eight meters, took the wrong shot at the wrong time, and ran in to traffic with the ball and has it checked away or lost it. McD’a defense played well but so did NDP’s. It was all about not converting. In the second half alone NDP missed 9-10 shots. Everyone misses shots but had they made half of those it would’ve been a different game. It happens to the best players. It happens the best teams sometimes. But THAT is the reason NDP lost.

Calm down McD dad. It was a one goal loss unlike your losses. Your losses are on your coach’s lack of making adjustments, yes.

I believe it will go by winning percentage. I think there is a minimum number of games that needed to be played but I believe that all teams have met that minimum to be seeded. So if two teams have the same number of losses and one played more games then the other they will be seeded ahead of the team that played less games even if the head to head was won by the team that played less games.

For instance, if SPSG finishes 12-1 and NDP finishes 11-1 SPSG would be seeded ahead of NDP even though NDP beat SPSG.

You would think with the time they put in that Redshirts would have a team at every age group and at least 1 solid team. Maybe he will learn something coaching the Under Armour. Best competition he’s coached against. Wonder how many of his team make it.

I'm not understanding the seeding. Is it because McD played 1 more game then NDP? McD lost 2 games, NDP lost 1 (to McD).

Dropping out of the top 10 national rankings and not getting a 1st round bye and home field advantage all in the same week didn’t sit well with McD even though it is the correct spot for them, the way the rankings are supposed to be when an uneven amount of games are played among teams. But when you stomp your feet and go make calls, you move to 2nd place first round bye with home field advantage, with a lower winning% than the 3rd place team. Shame on IAAM for not seeding the teams the way they should have been seeded.

I don't believe it has anything to do with anger towards a specific school - if it was any school, the question would still be asked. How can they be seeded higher? I think it's a legit question and concern.

It is not beating up on McDonogh and quite frankly to think a parent is behind this is absurd. This is about what is the right thing to do. Whomever made this decision to base the seedings on total number of wins in lieu of winning percentage really made an abysmal decision. NDP should be seeded second and McDonogh third.

The problem is that the number of games played could not be predetermined because cancellations were inevitable. If winning percentage were the top criteria, would a 6-0 team be the number one seed? I concede that example is extreme, but what about a 9-0 team that hadn't played NDP, McDonogh or SPSG? Should that team be the top seed? The IAAM should have published criteria specific to this season.

Coversely should a team that ends with an 8-5 record get a higher seed than a team that goes 7-0 and had six Covid cancellations? . Please look at how college sports handled this situation this winter. There were massive cancellations due to Covid. You can find the links below. All of the sports and conferences based their seedings off of winning percentage. The IAAM clearly blew this.

I'm not sure what the confusion is. The standings on the IAAM website have been sorted by Wins the whole season. With teams not playing the same number of games that's how they chose to do it. McD and NDP both ended the season with 11 wins. McD beat NDP so therefore gets the #2 seed. I'm not a big fan of the parent being accused on here, but nothing got changed recently in how the IAAM was ranking the teams. Even after SPSG beat McD, the standings still had McD in first place because they had played more games than SPSG at the time and had more wins.

Everything isn't always a conspiracy theory. Not to mention that every school's AD knew the rules going into the season.

They didn't change things around last night. The standings have been sorted that way all year.

St Pauls & McD played 13 games. NDP would have played 13 games but one game got cancelled due to COVID. That game should have been forfeited and made a "win" for NDP since the cancellation was not due to them. Then NDP would have 12 games "won" and therefore 1st & 2nd would have been between St Pauls & NDP and McD would be 3rd. Rankings should have been adjusted due to COVID cancellations.

The problem is that the number of games played could not be predetermined because cancellations were inevitable. If winning percentage were the top criteria, would a 6-0 team be the number one seed? I concede that example is extreme, but what about a 9-0 team that hadn't played NDP, McDonogh or SPSG? Should that team be the top seed? The IAAM should have published criteria specific to this season.

Coversely should a team that ends with an 8-5 record get a higher seed than a team that goes 7-0 and had six Covid cancellations? . Please look at how college sports handled this situation this winter. There were massive cancellations due to Covid. You can find the links below. All of the sports and conferences based their seedings off of winning percentage. The IAAM clearly blew this.

Maybe so but all the ADs knew how it was going to be done going into the season. Maybe they should have published the seeding rules on their website so that crazy parents knew them, but if anyone paid attention to the standings all season they would have seen how it was being done. They didn't change things around last night. The standings have been sorted that way all year.
Covid issues already cancelled one playoff game.
MDSA out due to Covid. GCS advances.

That's the third shutdown for MDS? They just played a games last week and this monday after their second shutdown

If you are not going to reward forfeit wins to the teams who had no control over not playing and weren’t the ones who needed to cancel the game because of positive covid cases on the team, then the only fair way to seed teams is by win percentage. McD was ranked 3rd by win percentage, the way it should be. Hours later, they were 2nd with a lower % than the now 3rd seed. Everyone in the current high school atmosphere doesn’t need to be a rocket scientist to know strings were pulled. Nothing you can do about it now but go out and beat them. Good luck to the teams playing this afternoon.

You're wrong. The standings on the IAAM website have been sorted by wins all year. It wasn't changed within hours. NDP canceled the game originally when they voluntarily shutdown their own program for 2 weeks so they bear just as much if not more responsibility for not getting all their games in as anyone else. By choosing to shutdown for 2 weeks they not only rescheduled games that were supposed to take place during those two weeks they also took away any off days to move games that got postponed later. NDP is playing RPCS. I'm pretty sure they'll be ok not having a bye and would be playing McD regardless if it was sorted by winning percentage. So what's the big deal?

Home field is a the "big deal." NDP had a better record and the game should be at NDP.

You can keep posting this all you want but as has been said the standings were sorted this way all season on the IAAM website. Also Mac and your AD were well aware of it when they decided to shutdown for 2 weeks for Spring Break and Gym Meet. The rules weren't changed to help McD. The rules have been the rules all year you just weren't aware of them apparently.

The FB post is a total fabrication of what happened by a delusional person. She took a couple people disagreeing with an officials call as somehow insulting the St Mary’s team or any of their players. The SPSG fans thought she was joking around because when she turned around and engaged with them what she was saying was so ridiculous. No one said anything remotely disparaging about st Mary’s. What was being said by the SPSG parents was directed towards an official about a bad call which happened at every game with every team. The fact she chose the be triggered and somehow offended is absurd.

I don’t normally share this type of criticism or get involved in this type of situation. However, I’m saddened and shocked to share about a girls lacrosse game today... a very talented St. Paul’s Girls team hosted St. Marys high school in a semi finals game... the Saints were not expected to win as we already lost in regular season by a large deficit, but nonetheless we were seeded to play them again.. The game was 1-1 and then quickly turned to 9-1.... St. Paul’s in the lead, all the while listening to parents and coaches complaining left and right about players, checks, calls, and making fun of the Saints team and their efforts. As the score kept rising, the ranting kept coming. I finally turned around and told the St. Paul’s parents that we are both Catholic schools and we should be positive and nice... he was quick to remind me they were Christian not Catholic, I then said in a year or 2 these girls maybe on the same team in college and we could be cheering on the same side, he assured me, no, not my daughter, she won’t be on the same team as these players... a few women on the side were laughing at me... I then said- your team is winning by 9, please allow our girls to have some dignity, laughing continued. I had to walk away because I couldn’t believe parents would behave so poorly. This is the 2nd game I witnessed this school act this way. I witnessed this behavior call after call as we are losing 16-2... I am so proud of the Saints team how they lost with sportsmanship and dignity. Unfortunately I witnessed the worst unsportsmanlike win ever in the St. Paul’s team, coaches and parents. After all that these kids have gone through this year, I would have hoped that winning wasn’t the only thing that mattered... truly breaks my heart.

Making that statement on an anonymous forum, I would question the recollection of the event. Making that statement on a personal social media page holds a little more weight. So which is it, truth or fabrication? I am a parent of a player who lost big to them as well. They did not act like that at our game.

As I said a total fabrication. No one saying a single word about the st Mary’s team, their players or their efforts. There was the usual complaining about calls by the refs that you hear at absolutely every single lacrosse game at every level. This woman decided to turn around to the SPSG parents and go on a diatribe about how the two girls involved with the questionable call may go to college together one day. Being that both the girls are committed to different schools she was told the that the girls weren’t going to the same school. Then she said that since we are both catholic schools we shouldn’t be yelling. She was corrected that SPSG was not a catholic school. As I said, her diatribe was so out of left field people assumed she was joking around. That was the end of the discussion and she moved down the the side of the field where the St Mary’s parents were supposed to be. No one EVER made fun of any player on the St Mary’s team or made any comment about St Mary’s at all. It’s not surprising that this woman then ran to FB to post nonsense. This account can be verified by every SPSG parent that was actually there. The SPSG parents that responded to her post weren’t even there and simply apologized because they assumed she was being factual was not the case at all. St Mary’s is a good team with a lot of good players and had a tough year with Covid issues. No one was disrespecting them or even directing any comment toward them or the parent that made the post on FB

Of course we didn’t act that way at your game or anyone else’s. No parent would ever laugh at or talk bad another team or any player at a game. One of the women standing behind the woman that posted this on FB was the Head of SPSG. Do you really think that people would be talking trash about st Mary’s and their players in front of the Head of School? And if they were do you think the head of school would just stand there and do nothing? This whole thing is BS.

Anyone who talks in absolutes like “no one said” or “ no parent would ever” is obviously full of BS because you can’t possibly hear every interaction at a game. The “we aren’t Catholic” comment is enough to let me know the mindset of the person who said it.

I’ve been to enough sports to know there are typically a few special A holes in every group of parents.

I was at the game. The woman who initiated the conversation not only embellished, but what she didn’t hear, she filled in the blank. She was also standing on the St Paul’s “Home Team” side of the stands, and irresponsibly and perhaps willingly ignored the “Visitors” side. No SPSG said anything disparaging to the St Mary’s players, rather, a St Mary’s parent screamed at one of the SPSG players. Her feelings were hurt because of the score, and she felt that the SPSG parents should not have questioned officiating calls. That’s it! Shame on her. She acted like a spoiled child and fabricated the incident. If she had stayed on the Visitors side, she wouldn’t have heard anything.

No one said, “we aren’t Catholic “. You are a fool and obviously, you were not at the game! Stop with the fabrications. I was there and the reply was, “ we are not a Catholic school, we are a Christian school”.

I agree with one of the replies. Some of you like to keep the fabrication going. Let the players play and stop trying to will games in your favor by embellishment. Games aren’t won on forums. It appears, that there are bunch of non athletic and frustrated parents who wished that they had their daughters talent on this thread.

Last sentence 100% unnecessary and why there are parents like this in the stands.

"if she had stayed on the other side, she wouldn't have heard anything"...hmmmmm, thought there was nothing to hear? That the parents were prim & proper and would never say anything disparaging? So, which is it? There is ALWAYS "those" parents at EVERY game, come on! Please don't act like SPSG is above that and would never say such horrible things. To be so offended that the woman didn't sit on the "visitors" side - oh my! How dare she!

Yes non athlete. Follow direction and sit in the appropriate stands. Here we go with the embellishments and fabrications again. I will say it so that you understand. If she had read direction and sat on the visitors side, SHE WOULD NOT HAVE HEARD THE PARENTS QUESTION SOME OFFICIATING CALLS! I hope you now understand.

Of course parents get on officials at every HS, Middle school, Youth, college, etc lacrosse game. That's all that was occurring at the SPSG game. All in all I think parents of every team in the IAAM would agree that the officiating has been subpar this year. Why this woman was triggered by it is beyond me. And then to post what she did on FB that the SPSG parents were "making fun of the Saints team and their efforts" is just 100% untrue. When she made the comment that the girls could be playing in college together someone mentioned that those two girls would not be. She asked the person next to her(surprising that should wouldn't know where their best player was going to college) and was told she was going to Georgetown. She turned around and told the SPSG parents that. Someone said yes we know where she's going to school and those two girls involved in the play aren't going to school together. She portrayed it in her FB post as the SPSG parents basically saying the St Mary's kids weren't good enough to go to the same school as the SPSG players which again is 100% false and not what happened. No one is saying the SPSG parents were prim and proper. We absolutely were unhappy with some of the calls by the refs in the game. But that's all it was. She inserted herself into things by turning around and engaging with the SPSG fans, who as mentioned included the SPSG Head of School. This whole discussion is ridiculous as the only thing abnormal that happened at the game was the St Mary's mom who doesn't seem to even know their own players decided she wanted to scold the SPSG fans.

Because UA is so political it’s beyond pathetic so why not give this new event a try & hope that it’s a better set up

My kid didn’t make ua to my dismay. The kids they picked were pretty darn good though. Stop with the politics excuse when your kid isn’t picked. Nobody cares! This weekend will have college evaluators and someone will be here Monday complaining again.

Question is? Between the two events UA, and American Selects. Which one will get the top 10 / D1 schools to attend for recruiting purposes? Being, that they are both going to be going on at the same time. I guess wherever we see the top at, is what they will consider better event?

UA will be the more difficult team to make, AS will have an entire on-grade team. IMO it depends on what changes you want to take with your kid, the likelihood is more opportunity to make AS unless you have a stand-out fool (yes I know politics).

UA has their coaches posted - nothing that impressive IMO. AS has a few posted I believe. There are plenty of girls that have never played UA and are still committed to top D1 schools. I would spend money on going to specific schools she is interested in and being seen that way - prospects camp will start up again. Schools typically have them in the summer and fall. There are other great events that you don't have to try out for and top schools will be there as well. Gait Top 20 showcase is a great one and it's local.

More difficult for 22 maybe. Easier for other grades as some top players will accept spots with As and not do ua tryouts. Spots for lots of girls though. Word is grizzlies and yellow jackets girls are trying as first. Good luck in whichever one you choose.

Now I’m worried because my daughter play defense and there’s no way to stick out😔. That’s why I detest these things/tryouts.
Also I know of at least three hungry girls who are middies that will register as defense just to increase chances. Wah wah wah I know!☺️☺️☺️ Good luck everyone.

Ridiculous on every level. Outdoor sport, massive facility with a hill on the opposite side, restrictions have been lifted everywhere. It is disrespectful at this point to not allow fans for both schools to be there. I don’t care what anyone else thinks. It’s ridiculous.

And if they are restricting attendance at that level why not have it somewhere else that won't? It was at Gerstell 2 years ago and they didn't limit attendance at all at their games this year. Just said to practice safe social distancing and wear a mask.

Consider the liability if a fight breaks out between the parents. Or at the very least, a lot of arguing, finger pointing and yelling over who most aggressively lives beyond their means.

Yeah, that's what SPSG parents were upset about. It wasn't that the St Mary's parent totally fabricated something that never happened and posted it on FB.

What’s funny is my daughters team played both SPSG and mcd this year and I don’t recall their parents being any louder or doing anything any different than parents of every other team. They’re both very good teams and it should be a great game. I also never heard anyone yelling at kids at any game. Refs yes. Kids no.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
I’m an official and the next game I go to where parents aren’t yelling at the refs would be the first time it happened in decades of working at or attending lacrosse games. Not sure why the shock and awe about it. Yelling at kids is a different story but actually I’ve never seen that this year.

A 3rd party videographer was hired by the IAAM and MIAA and provides game film from EVERY game to every other school in the league.
Scouting practices and scrimmages is one of the few things expressly prohibited by the league.

Scouting is all part of winning. Showing up at a practice is a little over the top, but all part of the lacrosse. Get used to it.

A 3rd party videographer was hired by the IAAM and MIAA and provides game film from EVERY game to every other school in the league.
Scouting practices and scrimmages is one of the few things expressly prohibited by the league.
It still happens all season.

What was the score?
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
How many different girls scored for SPSG? Says a lot when only 3 people scored for McD...one girl scoring 5 of them. Do they not trust others to score? Does it really revolve around 1 player?
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
Yes, it really did revolve around one player and her psycho father. Good luck Maryland when that cancer land in their campus. McD is done. Wait until KJ joins the SP coaching staff next year.

I’m sure he will figure out a way for the Maryland team to revolve around her also. He always does. Control freak

Kj might be taking over when MG leaves to watch her daughter. Then KJ can play her daughter and her mnd kids.

As an outsider (public school parent) this thread is fascinating. Moreover, I keep reading about the father & Im well aware there is a pathology within dynamics of McD, MnD, UA, etc. I am sincere when I ask how does this happen? How does this man strategically engineer EVERYTHING? Its incinsivable to me grown adults allow themselves to me manipulated and/or allow this man to get away with this behavior. How is this possible?

OMG, how did the female who is coaching the Baltimore Command team land that position?

Thoughts on American select tryouts today. Better format or worse than UA? Heard lots of talent but middies get most
Of callback spots.

Mcd parent here. First congratulations to SPSG and MG. You played an incredible game and deserve to be the top team in the iaam as well as all of the US.


We’re all glad that it is finally over. The past three years with tc at the helm has been torture. We all wish that we could have CR back.

TC is the greatest collegiate women’s player but that has not translated into her ability to pass down that knowledge. She is easily frustrated and panics under duress. It is always the kids fault and incompetence. She rotates from favorites who can do no wrong to those on the naughty list who she refuses to acknowledge on and off the field.

It's obvious who the favorite is and I feel sad for the girls that have to play on a team where it all revolves around 1 player. To lose by that much speaks volumes IMO. The other players don't get to show/shine their ability. That's something TC/McD has to figure out.

Just looking g at her IG you can tell she is one-note in life. That’s why it’s important to have a life outside of lacrosse.
McD is just a machine now.
There’s a pipeline.
There are no athletic dynamics.
Girls go to McD school from K just to play lacrosse for them. Not in a good way. I can think of a few right now on the roster who just “inherited”(sorry, can’t think of a better word at this time) into their slots but were not born to be elite lacrosse players.
There are no thirsty outliers coming in. That is not good. They did not do much recruiting in middle school(“because they didn’t have to”) and it’s showing.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
MG is vested in her team and worked with them all winter. Once her daughter becomes a starter at USC will she have that same level of dedication? I don’t know. She’s a great coach and her daughter will do well in college.

TC does the bare minimum in coaching high school. She strives to expand the sport and be the face of women’s lacrosse. She has other priorities and mcd only gets a fraction her attention during the in-season. February to May. She’s made zero effort to grow the team with upcoming players. Anyone who is considering attending Mcd should be aware of this problem.

When she eventually steps down to pursue other career opportunities the program will be in shambles. After next year there will be no goalie. I just hope the next coach has actual coaching experience and isn’t the child of a board member.

McD should be right at/near the top next year with their strong current junior (future senior) class. How do their current sophomore and freshman classes look? Any new recruits coming in at all?
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
Current Sophomore class has one or two good players. Taylor actually did recruit a few new freshman top players form Skywalker's and a great top player from M&D. Also have upcoming freshman from Skywalker's and Hero's who are already top players.

TC will be imparting words of wisdom to players this week. a brief preview.

What do I need to work on this summer? A: Everything.

It will be the same productive feedback she gives kids through the year. It is sad but true

MG isn't the first coach to have a child go to college. If you know MG you know that her life revolves around lacrosse. If she's coaching the will be 110% dedicated to it. If anything, her daughter being at USC may mean she's more available to the kids here. She's not going to be flying out the the west coast 2-3 times a week to watch her play. If her daughter was at a local school I would think that would take more time away from SPSG. The fact that she is getting more involved with M&D 2026 should tell you all you need to know. She's not planning on going anywhere and she took that job to start working on the 2026 class to come to SPSG and continue what she's built there. They didn't win Saturday by luck. She's put a ton of work into bringing kids into SPSG the last 5 years. She's not satisfied with just one banner.

I agree with everything you’ve written about MG. She earned this win. I have never read a single compliment about TC being a great coach. The 22 class is the last group from CR. After that it all is TCs effort ( or lack thereof).

But he recruited them.

TC is just the glaring example of not all great players - especially those that are so naturally gifted in the sport - are great coaches. Many can be if they put in the effort but it does not appear she is willing.

I am curious why MG didn't have success before this since she has been coaching for so long? This is her 3rd coaching stop in the IAAM right? Why didn't she win at any other stops. Is it because her daughter is the team's best player now?? I think a lot of credit goes to SPSG admissions for forking out the $$$$ to so many applicants. It takes a whole school effort to get this win.

To my knowledge this her second head coaching spot. She assisted at NDP. Which coach has won at Mt. deSales? Correct no one. That is an impossible job. CR leaving McDonogh and moving to Florida has helped SPSG, but give credit where credit is due. MG has turned SPSG into a power.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
There is a huge dichotomy between TC public’s social media persona and her IRL actions as a HS coach

On social media, She calls to light the unequal treatment between men’s and women’s lacrosse yet doesn’t treat all of her own players with dignity and respect .

How can she act as a role model when she humiliates and degrades players. It is a problem at mcd but players are too afraid to speak up in fear of retaliation.

Give credit where credit is due. SPSG’s hugely successful season was a total team effort. There is no best player. Her reputation as an outstanding club coach followed her to SPSG at just the right time. Kudos to her.

SPSG admissions isn't throwing out $$$ to bring in lacrosse players. I can guarantee you that. They have one scholarship that goes to an athlete but doesn't always go to a lacrosse player. The rest of the kids get need based aid which means most lax kids don't get anything. In fact SPSG has lost several kids to GCS over the last few years because GCS was willing to throw $$$ at them.

Yes the team is going to have 3-4 Senior UA All-Americans. 3 of them are ranked in the top 22 in Inside Lacrosse. They also have fantastic juniors and sophomores. 7 different girls scored in the championship game. 4 different girls took draws. The team only had 2 turnovers the whole game and play terrific team defense. Let's not forget they took a loaded McD team in 2019 to 2 OTs in the regular season and the championship game with all of these same seniors starting as Sophs. She built this team starting with the 2021 class. They certainly could have won in 2020 also if there was a season. MG and her defensive assistant deserve a lot of credit for building the team and coaching them up over the years.

SPSG should have won this year and they did. Would have been a major disappointment if they didn't with a roster built 4 years ago for that purpose. Had the most talented team in the league (that was never in doubt) and their seniors go out on top. Congrats on great playing and great coaching. Mission accomplished. Now on to next year!

"7 different girls scored". Speaks volumes when you count on a WHOLE team & not just on 1 or 2 players like McD. Look at their Instagram...posted a picture thanking the seniors and team, but who is CENTER and STANDS out? The ONE player they depend on. I am surprised to hear of the dismay regarding TC. BUT, it's been said many times - a great player DOESN'T make you a great coach.

TC joined the coaching staff in CR's last year and I'm sure her goal was to learn and be mentored by him. That didn't happen and she was quickly thrown to the wolves during a time when McD deemphasized girls lacrosse. TC is not playing by the same rules as CR when he could help girls get accepted, assist with financial aid or both. There are several girls that were not accepted to McD over the past 2-3 classes that would have easily been accepted with the old regime. That alone makes recruiting tough. Could TC be doing more? Sure, but she is also a young 25-26 year old with only 4 years of HC experience. So there is still a lot of room for her to improve. Then again, I'm guessing all of you were rock stars when in your first job in your 20's. How old is MG? How long has she been coaching? How many championships has she won? I take nothing away from MG, she is a great coach and someone that can build a program but the TC name goes along way in this sport. She just needs more time and experience.

Next years winner will be the team with the strongest senior class and most experienced junior class. Who will that be?

I think GCS has 12 or 13 seniors next year. I think NDP also has a number of seniors, but that is nothing new.

She wasn’t thrown to the wolves. There was an interim coach while a search happened. She was offered the position after interviewing multiple candidates. They chose a young M&D McD alum who went on to play at MD and win 3 Tewaaratons with the hopes of her name working out for them. It isn’t working out for them. Others with more experience interviewed for the position. TC was chosen. Everything else you state should have been taken into account prior to hiring her and putting her at the helm of the #1 team in the nation.

I would say regardless of how she was selected, she was thrown to the wolves. She was probably 21-22 when she took over and is still maturing as an adult with no mentor to learn from. Playing for great coaches like the ones she played for is different than learning their coaching styles and philosophies. Added to that, MCD reduced the number of Lax commits she is allowed. Not to mention other schools like GC, BM, SPSG and AS are all investing in their programs. Each has several ties to MCD and would more than likely be enrolled if the admissions process had not changed. CR built a powerhouse and anyone coming after him had big shoes to fill. Should they have given the keys to a 21-22 year old? Maybe or maybe not but she still is growing as a coach and mentor and there is plenty of room to improve before she hits the ceiling. If runner up for the IaaM is a bad year, I bet you most coaches would take it.

My kid is not a McD player but has had plenty of exposure to TC over the years and she and her friends always say the same thing ‘TC is not a nice person’ I haven’t had enough exposure to know what she’s like but I always thought that was shocking coming from a group of kids about their hero player.

I am a SPSG parent. Great game played by two great teams. GCS will be senior strong next year with deep talent. I think they will be favored to win in 2022.

Another McD Parent here. I have zero problems with TC's inexperience. We were all there at the start of our careers. She clearly loves the game and it is her life's passion. I do have a problem with her coaching.

For the record, the one full scholarship doesn’t just go to an athlete. It goes to the most dynamic & deserving student based on test scores, grades, leadership & interviews. There may be many athletes who qualify, but you don’t have to be “an athlete” to get it.

Let’s not forget that team was loaded with CRs 2019 and 2020 classes and they let a team of mostly sophomores take them to double OT twice and were lucky to win the championship game.

This is the most backward compliment ever. Get some dignity and class. Sounds like something a meathead McD parent would say. Was has the McD machine created? No wonder they’re pulling back on recruits.

I’m glad that there really aren’t private clinics advertised anymore. They say never to meet your heros for a reason. If you put on a clinic take a few minutes at the beginning to introduce yourself and make a connection instead of going right into wall ball, esp when parents are watching. Even if it doesn’t feel natural, work on people skillls. It all translates to $$$

$75 bucks to do wall ball, while TC looks at her phone. But you get to say you had a practice with TC and maybe get lucky that she post it to her Instagram page.
Edge lacrosse has taken it to another level with the instagram shout outs.

Both. I’d say a majority of kids that have trained with her or played for her feel the same. She has her favorites and if if you aren’t one of them good luck.

A few of the post mentioned having daughters at McD? Then a few mentioned daughters that had experience with her at clinics?. Seems like what they are saying is, they feel She’s not that nice of a person??? And, feel shes not that great of a coach??? Also, young... and Still needs time to mature into the job and prove herself???

I have to agree. I am not a McD parent but every kid I know that has trained or played for TC has said that she is not a nice person. I’m surprised at the lack of “positive coaching” I’ve seen throughout the entire IAAM with women’s lacrosse. There are some excellent role models like MG but there are many terrible ones too. A high school conference at this level nationally for women’s lacrosse that promotes their “Positive Coaching Alliance” should do a better job of training and holding the AD’s accountable for hiring better role models as coaches. I’ve seen so many coaches in this league play the same players every game while talented girls stand on the sidelines. Club Lacrosse politics get in the way of excellent high school coaching. High school HCs should be prevented from having recruiting director and HC positions in area club lacrosse programs. That would be a start. Too many coaches making decisions for their own benefit. TC should be prevented from making money on personal training while she is the McD HC. Parents fill her personal pocket in the hopes it will translate to a roster spot on McD’s team. Than they are surprised and disappointed when it doesn’t work out. TC cares about one person....TC. Not McD, not M&D, and definitely not your daughter. Sad to say there a few additional IAAM coaches that are the same as TC. The IAAM really needs to set some guidelines around this. It will only get worse as the sport grows and the number of clubs that compete for the same pool of talent grows.

The coaches want the best kids regardless of club. Those club ties help the schools bring in kids. MG used it the best. As for the comment about lots of talent standing on sideline , well that happens everywhere. Playing time is usually earned by what that coach sees at practice. Some are better than others for sure but the cry of politics is usually made by a parent of a player that’s not good enough. I’m willing to bet more than half the reason kids at these schools is lax only. Save the money , stay in public and play the whole time and great players will still get recruited thru club. My bet is a D1 player is ahead of your d3 daughter and you think she deserves more play time.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
Yes it does happen everywhere. Look at UM. And look where UM has been in the standings the past several years. It doesn’t work anymore. Too much talent out there now. The kids entering college in the 21 & 22 class started playing club in elementary school. There are more high level clubs out there now too. Look at how M&D has struggled in their brackets in the younger divisions. Even the 22 class is losing more games than previous M&D classes and not just to other high level MD clubs. More talent is being dispersed amongst more clubs, high schools and states. Maryland and Long Island no longer are the only talent pool for high level D1 lacrosse. That’s a great thing for the sport but the IAAM coaching (& UM for that matter) has not kept up with the fast acceleration of the talent pool. That is why you see more girls being recruited from areas like Georgia, Colorado and the west coast. And contrary to your belief I am not an SPSG parent and my daughter is not going D3 (not that there is anything wrong with that either). Any kid recruited to play college lacrosse should be proud of their accomplishment. Now more than ever. Most kids who were recruited D1 4 years ago would struggle to get recruited at the same level today. I am just surprised at the kids I see standing on the sidelines from many teams in the IAAM. These are super talented players I know well from years of club lacrosse. I know their work ethic and their skill level. I’m sure they are working just as hard at their high school practices too. Many times they are not from the right club in the coach’s eyes. And so many coaches aren’t accessing all of their talent because they have never had this much pressure to use their skills as a coach. I see so many coaches running a handful of middies into the ground while an efficient use of subbing could mean the difference between them losing the game or winning. Their middies get tired. Even the best conditioned players get tired playing an entire game at this level. A quick sub with a talented player won’t kill their chances of winning the game. Just thought there would be better coaches at this level.

While SPSG does have a pretty deep team, in the finals they only used 1 sub other than a girl that took a couple draws and came right off. For the most part when people talk about SPSG's depth it's scoring depth. As was said earlier in the thread, 7 girls scored for SPSG in the championship game. 4 seniors, a junior and 2 sophs. What made them difficult to defend is that you couldn't key on one or two girls. What MG did do was rest middies on attack and rotate that 1 middie sub through. In the regular season they won most of their games comfortably so they did run out a lot more subs in games.

Truth is you better get used to that. Watch any college team, not just UM. You don't see coaches running out a full second midfield typically. Girls lacrosse is completely different than boys in that respect. And the attack and defense rarely are subbed out at all.

Players at MCD will fall into 1 of 3 categories

Favorites will get attention & praise (3/4 players)
Fillers- players who are needed to field a full team 12 to 15. They are treated as mediocre with limited value.
Rejected - No playing time or coaching, ignored. Once a player falls into this category it is difficult to recover

UM won the championship in 2019. they struggled the last 2 years because they graduated one of the most talented senior classes ever in 2019. they will need a few years to reloaded. the same thing will happen to UNC eventually. look at UM's incoming 2021 class...lots of talent there. their verbal 2022's are looking strong. if there is so much talent out there why are basically the same colleges in the top 10 year after year?
As for the talent on the sidelines on IAAM teams. if they are a junior or senior sitting on the sidelines then they do have the talent of the freshmen or sophomore that is playing. If a freshmen or sophomore is sitting on the sidelines then they don't have the experience needed yet to displace the junior or senior that is playing. the IAAM coaches are trying to win so they are putting the 12 best out there..same as the college coaches.

Your point about club team records does not highlight that the talent within the Maryland club scene is very, very diluted. In the Baltimore area alone you have M&D, Skywalkers, Heros, TLC, etc. performing pretty well in summer tournaments despite the fact that they pull from the same pool of players. From what i can tell, club teams from Florida are just that, teams from Florida. Say what you want about UA and how they select kids, when the talent is localized to one team, they win against other regional teams.

IMO, if ANY player falls under "Category 3" - I'd be looking elsewhere and most certainly would NOT play for that kind of coach (& I truly hope that NO coach out there "ignores" their players)

"...the IAAM coaches are trying to win so they are putting the 12 best out there..same as the college coaches" If you believe there are no politics in who plays in the IAAM, you are sadly mistaken. There is more to IAAM Coaching than winning. Getting kids on the field who are legacy and parents who contribute to the school make a lot of headway for playing time.

And so many coaches aren’t accessing all of their talent because they have never had this much pressure to use their skills as a coach. I see so many coaches running a handful of middies into the ground while an efficient use of subbing could mean the difference between them losing the game or winning. Their middies get tired. Even the best conditioned players get tired playing an entire game at this level. A quick sub with a talented player won’t kill their chances of winning the game. Just thought there would be better coaches at this level.

M&D struggles in the younger grades? Every team is in first or second place in the NGLL. I don’t call that struggling.

Don’t buy it. My kid has been starting since freshmen year. She is not a legacy and we don’t contribute much $ to the school. She starts because she was/is better than the other players at her position. There is some political bs that goes on but it is not widespread as you make it out to be.

Says the parent whose kid has been a starter since freshman year. Trust me, there is ALWAYS a story behind the scenes when a freshman starts beyond “because she was/is better”

No behind the scenes story. She worked and works hard in the off season and it payed off.

That's absurd. There are plenty of girls that start as freshman without some behind the scene story. Maybe it doesn't happen at NDP where there are 50 girls on the team, but most IAAM teams don't have that much depth. While the parents of the older girls may not like it and may try to say there is some "behind the scenes story", usually it just means the freshmen are better players. The coaches are trying to win and are going to put out the girls that give them the best chance to do that.

Very few freshman that start due so as "favor or political move". They are usually one of the top players in the class and have worked their butts off to earn the spot. The parents that are typically sour over this are ones that think because their kids have been in the system for 3 years deserve to start. At the end of the day if a 14y/o can carry the ball better then a junior or senior, the best person plays. It's not a knock on the upperclassman, they may have worked just as hard but at the end of the day the best players get the minutes.

Man, TC is getting a lot of heat after winning a championship in her 1st year as a HC and losing in the Champ game her 2nd season. There are a lot of people that would like to "struggle" like that. And even if they were CR's recruits, someone has to coach them. Looks like she did a pretty good job in doing that. And say what you want but TC wants to WIN. Has shown that as a player and coach. So I seriously doubt she puts politics in front of winning.

In her first year she was totally out coached twice by MG. Yes they won in double OT both times but that SPSG team was totally outmanned and still should have won both games. When CRs 2019s and 2020s left the cupboard is pretty bare. Most the mcd girls are totally overrated. They have the #3 2022 in the country that had one goal in 2 games against spsg. The offense is completely predictable and the defense can’t stop anyone even though they have two top rated 2022 defenders going to Duke and BC. The BC commit got benched the last few games of the season by the great coach TC and was blamed for losses. I guess she’s now in category 3 with TC.

1 player should never be blamed for a loss. It’s a TEAM. Win as a TEAM, lose as a TEAM. That’s exactly where McD misses it-they ARE NOT a TEAM. It’s sad to watch. & even sadder that it will continue next Spring. How will the TEAM be handled then? Have to wait & see.

Offense won’t change until TE is gone. Then team play will return.

Well, I wouldn’t go that far. They are not “easy” to defend, but they are very predictable, which makes them easier to defend, you know who will start the play with ball and who will 9 times out of 10 end the play with the ball. And like the other post said, that won’t change until the 22 class graduates.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
My mistake, you are absolutely correct. They are very predictable. I am a former coach in the IAAM, and I watched the championship game. If McD has the same strategy in 2022, they will struggle. They have very good players, but not utilizing the talent and playing as a team. Team play will beat you, as witnessed in the championship game. I think SPSG had ten assists against McD’s one. That tells the story. Also, does anyone know how many goals McD scored at the eight? Seems like that is one of their strategies…penalties within the eight. That is not an assured winning strategy.

Nothing puzzling about RPCS. They ran off a very good and successful coach in KM and the school doesn't support he lacrosse program. Hence they've become one of the worst teams in the league and should drop to B if they aren't going to bring in any good players.

They have 2 runs - get the draw, run, shoot & score. Or, get a foul and shoot from the eight. There is no Team within that team and no one can deny that. It's sad that players who are just as good, don't get the chance.

This is fact. There is no assisting at McD, get the ball off the circle, go to goal. If you can’t, set up the play that is designed to get the shooting space call. 9 times out of 10 it’s the same player.

And new coach came in and just took a pay check to run some practices. Didn’t bring any talent and didn’t work the youth leagues like the good coaches did. That cupboard is bare and no way out for quite a few years.

Um, are you aware they played twice? The first time they played the player in question was out with a concussion just like in the GCS game they lost. McD beat NDP twice this year. Once with the player and once without.

KM has won state championships at 2 different public schools and RPCS has a very strong run of seasons with her there. The new coach has done absolutely nothing to make the program better so if you're happy with what you have now you're probably in the minority.

THIS IS AWESOME!!! No doubt.

And just like when she calls out inequality in the men's vs women's coverage...she is wrong when pointing the finger (Coaches/schools are the ones choosing their start times by the way, not the media, not ESPN). And she clearly can't identify the root cause here with her McD team either. It isn't about rolling with the one or two players and yelling at the rest of them. It is called a team for a reason.

Old school will be left in the dust soon enough.

If you’re running off at the mouth about these girls I hope you’re ok with the same thing being said about your kid. And if you’re not ok with it and don’t agree with it if it is said about your kid... that’s a hint to you that you shouldn’t be saying it about others. Grow up !!!!!

I agree 100%. Stop with the envious quotes about another “child” committing. Be happy with your child's commitment and stop worrying about other children. All of them work hard in the classroom and on the field. These quotes say more about you than the children.

Old school will be left in the dust soon enough.

You kind of made my point for me. Yes, teams sub out one or two middies for Offense/Defense these days. But that's about the extent of the substitutions in many cases. I don't know of any woman's team that runs out a full second midfield on offense. Rarely do you see the starting attack or defense come off. So we're talking about very minimal substitutions in a game.

Not sure why you'd think it's lip service. It's voted on by the other coaches. Coaches nominate their players and are not allowed to vote for their own.

The Sun never did any team rankings this season or any Spring Preview so I would not expect anything from them. The IAAM season is over and nothing was done other than some game write ups.

It’s not really a true all conference team since each team has to have at least 1 player on. A true all conference team would only have a 1st team all conference and a 2nd team all conference with 12 girls on each team. Maybe a draw specialist added too

Not every team had a representative. RPCS did not this year. Each coach can nominate up to 5 of their players and the other coaches vote(cannot vote for their own players). There is a set limit of all conference selections based on the number of teams in the conference. This year it was 26 so the 26 girls that got the most votes were selected.

Would it make more sense to have a 1st and second team by position? Maybe. Doesn't mean it's lip service though. The 26 girls selected were voted on by the coaches that they played against.

if the IAAM is not putting the best players in the conference on the all conference team then its lip service. there are selections to this team that are not the best in the conference. They may be the best on their team but not better than others players in the league who should be on the team. And no I will not name the player, position or school. There should be a 1st and 2nd team and if a lot of players from one school are named then so be it, that just means that school has a lot of the best players and probably made the finals.

If you don't show up for the end of year coaches meeting, you can't nominate any of your players. You have to be present to make an oral presentation to the other coaches. Most teams get 2 players, if you are in the championship game and win, you generally get 3 or 4 players. If you're a coach of a school that didn't fair very well in the season, you need to come armed with statistics if you want to make a good case for a player.

Much respect to her for committing there and helping that program get better. She will get where she needs thru club and leave a nice legacy at Gfs. Her iaam honor was deserved too. She played with the big dogs all year and produced well.

It's not the IAAM. The coaches nominate their players and then they vote. Top 26 vote getters make the team. Some schools didn't nominate 5 girls as they're allowed to. NDP definitely seems like they have players that are deserving that aren't on the team. Spalding's one selection is a bit curious based on seeing them play a couple times this year. The 2 from Gerstell are both Senior UA All-Americans. Without knowing who the coaches nominated from their teams or how well they advocated for them in the coach meeting it's hard to pass judgement.

Why do you find it odd? She has a ton of accolades that are listed with short paragraphs of other info. They are a school trying to build a program. Some schools say nothing at all. Pull up McDonogh.

It was not an easy page to get to from main page. It did seem a little odd to have so much about the coach for GFS. Building a program is understandable, but no need to post her resume on the page. Highlight the team and players.

Yes, thanks to Twitter we could see the McD freshman score away. That's great, she is fortunate to be in a position where her achievements are easily recognized.
But I didn't see even some of the (anticipated) 23 studs produce in the box, except maybe one or two. There is so much talent to go around that you must wait in the line to get to your third or fourth year to get the playing time. Its not because you're not talented, its just that there is so much talent to go around! Be happy!

I saw the GFS team play three times this year and the girl who made the all-conference team was one of the best players on the field in every game. Don't care kid is a freshman and doesn't care she plays at GFS. The girl is one of the best players in the area, also plays for M&D 2024 Black which is considered the top club team in the country. If you know the game and you watch her play there is no question she is one of the top players in the IAAM. And she would get playing time for every team in that conference. Celebrate the achievement instead of complaining about the selection. Ask kids that have to play against her how tough she is to defend. how quick she is to ground balls, how she can run all day long.

Well you need to understand that the M&D 2024 parents(and their coach) think they are the best club lacrosse team ever.....

How dare them. Doesnt every parent and coach feel that way? I’ve seen people bash Taylor , Mac , Brian and others here. It’s a shame your talent is all going to waste on the sideline when they could use your help winning games and picking your daughter to the all conference teams.

My daughter doesn’t go to gfs so I have no skin in the game. The girls you reference might be better but if they aren’t on the field then they can’t be part of the discussion. The young lady made the choice to go to a program for a chance to play early and contribute while getting a great education. Now she gets to reap the benefits. If the girls that are on the top 4 teams that are sitting went to gfs maybe they would have been nominated. I commend her for putting in the work taking advantage of the situation.

Yep - Sounds like some from a few schools with large rosters and small benches are the angry ones.

Young attackers & midfielders, take note of this @CuseWLAX offense right now. Sharing the ball, heads up 100% of the time, making the defense spin and shift. This is what team offense is supposed to look like. No one cares who scores as long as the ball is in the back of the net

Instead of complaining about her, critics should take note.
Hilarious. She should practice what she preaches.

Not hard to understand...she can’t “walk the walk” because clearly there’s a parent that runs their offense so therefore she doesn’t have “parental permission” to “walk the walk”.

I agree, top teams are happy. Excluding 2020, GFS has won three games in three years. What are they rebuilding?

Also agree. No matter the size of the bench, playing for a winning team with winning traditions is exciting. Practicing with and against the top talent is immeasurable. So I agree with the other comments, the top teams are very happy, and learning how to win.

Disagree with this one buddy. Hard to have a solid practice and learn anything when they are hardly catching and throwing. How do you simulate the competition if catching and throwing is an issue. Playing and practicing with the top competition is always a good thing…even if they don’t get in a game, they learn.

Every year a school recruits based on needs.

A big question is if these schools will have the fifth years back as grads. And will all want to officially enroll again? A fifth year isn't free but another year to avoid realities is priceless!

Why is college football so exciting? Because it’s so honest and pure( to an extent) this last year of lacrosse was kind of boring with all of the awesome seniors and grads. Blowouts. It clarified what made lacrosse so exciting in the first place, just innocent kids going for it!
I will say that a bright light this year was the awesome freshmen playing well. I hope to see as much spotlight put on them as the older girls.

It doesn’t matter what’s “trending” right now. The 22 class was recruited through film. The 23 class will have coaches on the sidelines. There is no definitive answer. I think the safe answer is no one really knows and we will have to wait and see. Covid messed with a lot things, including scenarios.

The "top" talent is going to be spread between the 2. Some of the "top" talent didn't want to deal with the UA politics so they made a decision to go to AS. And some of the "top" talent isn't trying out for either.

GCS has really become aggressive recruiting and has watered down Glenelg and Marriotts Ridge. There's no school in AA county that can compete with the top IAAM schools. Severna Park scrimmaged SPSG a couple times in the last few years and it wasn't even close.

Century lost to Maryvale not long ago when Maryvale was at the bottom of the IAAM. People don’t realize the talent difference and depth difference. Gerstell has 3 Senior UA all Americans on their team and only won 4 games in the IAAM. It takes more than 3-4 good girls.

With many 2021 college seniors just now deciding to stay and take advantage of their 5th year, they’ve take the last remaining roster spot or two that was available to the 22 recruits. Many teams will keep their own 5th year or take a 5th year in the transfer portal over an unknown 22 high school recruit. I think the 22 recruiting class is essentially complete in D1 and mostly complete in D2. I think uncommitted 22’s this summer tourney season will be vying for available D3 roster spots. D1 and D2 are moving on to the 23 recruiting class and the 23 class will also be much smaller than recruiting classes prior to the 2021 class. Too many proven grad players to pull from!

That's not true. This year they probably would have beaten MDS and RPCS. Probably GFS and John Carroll too after JCs best player got hurt. Century would be in the middle group with Gerstell, Severn, St. Mary's, Maryvale and Spalding. People just don't understand how much talent there is at the top 4 schools this year.

Committments:
McD Starters: MD, UNC, Stanford, Vandy, USC, Loyola, BC, Duke, Delaware, W&M, OSU
SPSG Starters: Georgetown(2), USC, Hopkins, Marquette, Duke, Florida, High Point, JMU, Denver and 2 Sophs
NDP Starters: MD(2), UVA, Denver(2), Hopkins(2), Towson, USC, Vandy, Hofstra
GCS Starters: MD(3), Loyola, Syracuse, Notre Dame, Towson, Delaware, JMU, Navy

All these schools have a ton more D1 commits on the bench.

On the other hand:
Century: MD, Jacksonville, Va Tech, Salisbury
Broadneck: UMBC, McDaniel, Sacred Heart, Frostbug, Shepherd
Severna Park: Florida, Jacksonville, UMBC
Glenelg: Navy(2), Va Tech, High Point, Coastal Carolina(2), W&M

Even the worst teams in the IAAM have 3-4 D1 commits on the team

That's not true at all. SP boys used to beat Spalding. But the SP girls haven't beaten an IAAM team in ages. They don't play them anymore. They scrimmaged SPSG twice in 2018 and 2019 and lost by 10 both times. And SPSG wasn't nearly as good back then.

You're correct. And Severn was 1-12 in the IAAM that season with a win over GFS who ended up dropping to "B" conference the next year. Not exactly a harbinger of success against the good IAAM teams. As mentioned SPSG beat SP in a scrimmage by 10 that season and the season before. SPSG went to the IAAM finals that year but were only 7-6 in conference.

Yes and was stated earlier times have changed. All the privates are being much more aggressive going after kids which has watered down the public schools. All you have to do is look at the commitments on the rosters and it's noticeable. It wasn't like that until the last few years. Not that there aren't some really good players on public school teams. There definitely are. But they just don't have the depth that McD, SPSG, NDP and GCS have managed to build. There are 3 Senior UA All-Americans that would otherwise be at Carroll County Schools. The SPSG goalie is also a Senior UA AA and is from Carroll County. BR at GCS and MG at SPSG have really done well bringing in players the last few years. It used to just be McD and NDP with 15-20 D1 commits on the team. Now you can include SPSG and GCS in that list and Bryn Mawr isn't far behind. Even GFS is being really aggressive bringing in kids as witnessed by their current freshman class. The new AD(McD grad) and new coach are determined to build that program. Considering GFS is very close to the County line I'm certain they will also be pulling kids out of the county.

Trust me, most choose a private over public for many more reasons than athletics. With covid, most privates actually had in school learning or hybrid vs all virtual at public. Sending my daughter to private school was the best money I spent this year!

Hi
Now that the coaches are at tournaments, do you have any recommendations for my kid.
I noticed that during games our sports recruits profile would get pinged by certain coaches, not even the coaches from schools in our profile. Does this mean anything?
What do you think of the lacrosse masters camps for exposure?
We had a school ping this weekend- should we send a letter to that coach? or go to one of their caps?

During the games coaches came to set up for the next game and watched some of ours. Those coaches weren't really paying attn to our games were they? they all seemed to be chatting.
This has opened up a whole new can of anxiety for my daughters and friends now.
-signed,
not heros m&d or skywalkers

If you believe the people on this page, you will scratch your head. With the college transfer portal and 5th year option, I don’t think anyone knows what will happen. Unless there is a college coach that posts on this and says otherwise, people on this page are only speculating

So I take it you did the Century vs. Glenelg game? Just curious if you noticed the speed and intensity in that game; both teams peppered with M&D Black, Heros Green & White, HOCO, etc girls that play right along if not better than your precious private school girls. Oh yea, ask anyone that knows, how GCS did against Glenelg in a scrimmage earlier this year. You won't like what you hear. LOL.

I have a new question-
Come Sept 1 time, any leftover 23’s, or those 23’s not ready to make commitments/ decision- the Div 1 spots will all be gone and those 23’s who waited it out, will most likely only have Div 3 schools recruiting them?

So if your daughter is not ready to commit (and is a strong recruit) by the end of October all the spots will be gone?

Nope...plenty of D1s still looking for 22s.

If you have a daughter and she is interested in a school, I highly recommend she send the coach an e-mail telling her that she is very interested in attending said school, and telling that coach about her self along with her recruiting video (either on Sportsrecruits or HUDL). Hopefully she then gets invited to the prospect camp and can show that she is worthy of playing for that school. The UA and Nike All American teams are great for the bio's, but that won't get them a scholarship. Also, detest to say if your daughter is playing in a showcase tournament, she has to be a little selfish with the ball to show off her stick skills, speed, etc.

Scrimmage is the operative word. Teams schedule scrimmages to access talent, run plays, and for evaluation purposes. They don’t play to win with a starting lineup.

If you want to do a little research scroll up and take a look at the commitment lists for the top 4 privates and what are considered the top 4 publics. I'm sure you are a much better judge of talent than the D1 coaches that are offering 15-20 girls scholarships from the private and 3-6 girls scholarships at the publics.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
FYI -there are many crappy D1 programs giving 3,000 a year to girls. That D1 scholly stat has nothing to do with who would win a game.

I agree! I have a 22 committed daughter but there are a couple of her teammates that received offers but held off for “better offers” until they could be seen in person. After this weekend, I am very concerned for them. Their team won their division and although we had tons of coaches on the sidelines, they were mostly D3 coaches. The D1 & D2 coaches were at the tourney but they were watching the 23’s.

I saw plenty of D1 coaches watching 22's
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
The recruiting landscape will most likely be different for 23's than the 22's had last fall. Last year players were not able to be on campus, and schools could not have prospect days or fall events. I imagine the 23's will go through next fall's tournaments similar to the 21's. The top commits will always have early offers.

GHS beat GCS in a scrimmage where GCS played every player trying out for Varsity, and GHS played the same players. Keep pounding your chest about a scrimmage win. You can have it.

There are graduated seniors playing for Bryn Mawr, Spalding, SPSG, Stone Ridge, Archbishop Carroll for sure and I'm sure there are others. All players on teams were eligible to play in the tournament. If seniors aren't playing that is a choice each team made. And if teams don't have committed girls playing that was also a choice or maybe the team just doesn't have any.

Well you're mistaken because every one of those teams listed has at least one senior playing. Spalding, SPSG, Stone Ridge and ABC each have around 5. BM has less but there are seniors registered on the team. Maybe after losing all of last season and having a strange season this year the team wants to play together one last time. There was a similar event last year run by Corrigan where McD played SPSG in the championship and seniors played in that. MD and NY high schools are just finishing their seasons. If this event was in July or August I doubt the seniors would be playing.

Stop whining and let the players take the field. You people are a trip. Blah, blah, blah, blah. Why are you afraid to let your kids take the field against the best players? Let me answer that one…because you want an easy win. Not in this tournament. No easy wins, so stop whining about something that you can’t change. Pull your kids out of the tournament if you think they can’t compete. End of story!

getting better or motivated is not the issue. the issue is that graduated students are playing on a high school team. this is not like college where seniors graduate but the season is still going on so they play. The IAAM season was completed over a month ago, but if the tournament allows it so be it.

There is another "national championship" tournament going on up in CT soon. Those teams have seniors playing as well. Seniors were allowed to play in the NHSLS. Not sure what qualifies as "the right thing" when the tournament is open to all players from this spring.

If you don’t like the “National” name or format, pull out of the tournament. No one is making you play. I agree with the previous post, stop whining. I hope your player has more faith in their ability to win than you.

Looks like you don’t have faith in your actual high school athletes ability habits bring college freshman to play

It is in the rules that they can play. My daughter is a graduated senior and as many seniors as are able are playing and they are looking forward to playing together again. Her college coaches will be there and they are looking forward to seeing her and seeing her play. If you don't like the rules, take it up with the tournament organizers. Complaining on an anonymous website won't help.

I'm confused. The tournament was open to all players from this year's HS teams. Most the teams playing have seniors playing. If your daughter's team isn't why not? That was a choice made by a parent of a younger player that probably wanted to make sure their daughter got playing time most likely. The tournament rules were clear and given to each school. So is your issue with the tournament directors or all the schools that invited seniors to play when yours did not?

Their issue is their player is going to lose playing time and they aren't happy. Otherwise you would think they would just be happy the girls get to play after a crappy past 12 months. Just saying.

My daughter plays for one of the teams listed and this just isn’t true.

2021’s shouldn’t be allowed to play. They have graduated and are no longer high school players. Why would they even want to risk getting injured and possibly losing their entire freshman college lax year for what is really a “showcase tournament”. Since it is really a showcase tournament, most teams should narrow it down to uncommitted players but we all know that parent egos would never allow that to happen!!

Showcase tourney with no college coaches. High schools want to win for bragging rights only. 21’s are the only ones that are guaranteed a college spot and others are playing club hoping to get one. Doesn’t make sense to me to force them to join a team in hopes in leads to more play time next season. Organizers are making a nice bonus though at $300 a kid !

My graduated daughter is playing along with several other 21s. Their goal is to make the younger players on the team look as good as possible in front of the coaches.

Yeah let me know who you see there and the 21s can stay away and let the girls that need experience get some. This is about winning a tourney for the coaches and getting on tv and they will call in alumni if needed.

Blah, blah, blah, blah. Stop the complaining and take the field. Like the previous poster said, if you don’t like the rules and format don’t play. Simple as that my fiends. Complaining gets you know where and doesn’t move the bar. Please stop the adolescent complaints. Some graduates are playing and that is a reality. You complaining won’t prevent them from playing. Just don’t come.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
I agree. Don’t come. My high school team is not that good, but we are excited to play the good teams. My daughter is looking forward to lining up against a quality team. Competitors are always looking forward to a challenge.

Do you want your daughter to always just play against girls in her own grade? I know my daughter has gotten much better playing against older girls in HS than she ever did in a bunch of club games.

I say it again, don’t play. Stop complaining. You won’t get a participation trophy in this tournament. It is very simple, don’t play. No one is making you play.

Those that are complaining about the seniors, are you going to complain when that 5th year college senior is lined up against your college team? Get used to it. You guys sound like a clinic rec. team parent…”take out that player, she already has three goals against our team”. If you don’t like the format, there are badminton teams that you can join.

Maybe your daughter's school should be playing by the rules of the tournament they're playing in instead of the rules of the boy's tournament.

If that’s true, then that’s new this year on the boys side. The last three years graduated seniors have been allowed to come back and play. My son played last year as a graduated senior and the year before two graduating seniors played on his team. Get. Over. It.

No. The rules specifically state that players must attend the school. However I believe St. Mary's and Arundel have entered a combined team

I guess winning IAAM wasn’t enough? They look foolish doing this, but to each his own. Other schools have their graduated seniors doing the coaching.

Only to you. I like the look. They are playing by tournament rules, like all that entered. I am looking at a lot of graduates in a uniform and on the field from other teams. Get over it “participant trophy parent”. You just have a problem with MG. Sounds very personal. You probably need to go get counseling. Winning isn’t a sometime thing, it’s an all time thing. That’s why they take the field, to win. You sound like a participant trophy parent.

I am not a SP parent and my daughter plays in the IAAM. We know quite a few of the SP graduates and not all are there today at the tournament. I counted five. This is ridiculous. The rules are stated and everyone had the same opportunity. Not all graduates are playing. Get over it

Perspective: only four/five SP seniors started this year. They are a well coached team. Give MG credit. She took a sophomore rich team, with one starting freshman to the IAAM Championship two years ago. She is a very good coach that demands discipline play. She is a very good coach and she probably privately coached some of your kids.

My kid does not go to SP, she goes to Maryvale. We know the SP players and coach. I am a fan of all the IAAM coaches…tough job. You sound like a frustrated wanna be athlete, who probably never tied up a cleat. MG coaches a lot of kids outside of SP because she cares about their development...she coached mine. She doesn’t care where they go to school. Sounds like your kid could benefit from going to her. Perhaps that would lessen your sour attitude.

Wish people would mind their own business. If it’s not your team you don’t know how it was handled with her team and it’s it’s their job to communicate with her. Worry about your own kid and stop being miserable while trying to drag others down with you.

MGs daughter was not there the first two games. Yes she was there when they played RPCS. And the senior goalie played attack in that game. The 5 seniors played less than anyone on the team all day and many of them played out of position when they did play. Guess what? Spalding, Bryn Mawr, ABC, Stone Ridge, Severn, the list goes on all had seniors playing and some of them had more seniors than SPSG TX. The seniors are there to have fun with their teammates. It’s a very close team and the younger girls want them there. Why is SPSG being singled out when all but a couple schools don’t have seniors playing? I assume it’s because they won the IAAM? This is ridiculous.

The 5 seniors played less than anyone on the team all day and many of them played out of position when they did play. Guess what? Spalding, Bryn Mawr, ABC, Stone Ridge, Severn, the list goes on all had seniors playing and some of them had more seniors than SPSG TX. The seniors are there to have fun with their teammates. It’s a very close team and the younger girls want them there. Why is SPSG being singled out when all but a couple schools don’t have seniors playing? I assume it’s because they won the IAAM? This is ridiculous.

Thanks for the update Anne. We were wondering when you’d be here.

if they get to the finals all the seniors will be back at their normal positions and playing a majority of the game, including MG daughter.

Sounds like a GCS parent has issues with winning. I understand. You beat McD and lose to JC. I would be sour too.

They lost to JC? Wow! Now it makes sense. GCS now has no credibility and therefore should not be on here condemning SP.

Ok GCS parent, you are now 4-1 and out of the finals. Can you now stop writing. Remember, you are no longer credible and therefore not allowed to write negative posts, forever. You lost to JC and you really should be hiding. I guess you are hiding behind the anonymous posts. So are you now going to talk about The ABC team that just beat you? Probably.

Where do you see a GCS parent having an issue?
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
Funny you think it’s a GCS parent just because one post mentions GCS going 3-0 with no seniors and nothing else. Speaking for GCS parents, we are good with 4-1 in a summer tourney where we played mostly 24s in the second halves of our games, trust us. Good luck in the finals SPSG and looking forward to see everyone next spring.

This whole conversation is ridiculous. There are so many great teams in this area and the parents cause so many issues. I'm not sure what's with the bashing of SPSG. I guess it used to be McD but now that SPSG won it's them. Who cares if they have seniors playing in this tournament. So does almost every other team. Obviously it must be GCS or NDP parents complaining since they are the only teams that didn't have seniors playing. Those schools made a decision on who to let play. It's not like all the other teams are cheating by having seniors play. It should be a good game tomorrow night. After the what everyone has been through for the last 18 months it's really sad that we can't just be appreciative that our kids our out there playing and having fun.

No dog in the fight. Playing graduated seniors in a summer event is counterproductive. They had a season, so no Covid this and that. Play the returners, start building a new foundation now, get a jump on the future.

It's 5 short games in June, right after the spring season ended. NDP had 45 girls on their team this spring. SPSG only had 14 girls on the team that weren't seniors so they wouldn't have been able to have a team in the tournament without the 5 seniors that are playing. They only have a few subs as it is.

Great comment..this shows the US in a microcosm. If you don’t like someone’s post then try to cancel them out by telling them they have no right to an opinion.
The people who post comments like this or call out and post names of parents with absolutely no proof are what’s wrong youth, high school sports.

You are joking, right? That is why teams have tryouts in the spring. This is a tournament that teams are trying to win. If you weren’t here to win, then you should not have entered before will tell you that every player was out there to win, and not to be a tryout player.

Hi there! Michele Fuhrman here to tell you otherwise. Since you feel it’s me, you probably have my cell number, give me a call and we can discuss.
While I’m here, I can tell you I have no issue with SPSG in season or out. Play with seniors, don’t play with seniors. Win with them, don’t win with them. The rules state you can. End of story. Have a great day! And like I said, feel free to give me a call if you would like to chat more.

I know Michelle and she is 100% lacrosse mom for all players. She takes beautiful photos of all the players and shares them with all. While she is a GCS parent she is almost agnostic during games. She wants to see a good game and hopes that none of them get injured. My child goes to an IAAM competing school. Thanks Michelle.

How about you try to win with kids coming back? Seniors had their time. Now it’s time to turn the page and see what’s coming up. It’s called constant evaluation. The boys have been at it with this tourney for years. They play to win but not at the expense of kids next up. But hey, since it is probably your kid playing for this prestigious title, good luck!

For the record, on the guys’ side of NHSLS teams don’t play with seniors who just graduated. I’m currently watching the guys’ championship game and the commentators actually commented that neither team is playing seniors. The guys’ side of the tournament has been going for nine years. They give guys who didn’t get a lot of time on varsity or JV guys who will likely make varsity in the following year an opportunity to play. My son played on the guys’ side for four years (rising 9th-rising 12th) and his team never played seniors nor did any of the other teams. The only guys’ team that I know that has played seniors was McDonogh last year and that was because they opted to give them an opportunity to play since they didn’t play a spring season. I guess the guys’ teams might feel silly playing their seniors….just sayin.

Here’s an excuse: it was raining on the first day and SP won. Why did SP show up? They shouldn’t have shown up and forfeited like a boys team. Just saying.

Perhaps you should let her try out for the “guys side”. Since you like the rules so much. Just saying.
I agree. Don’t play if you don’t like the rules. No one forced the play. The game is over. Get over it. You lost. Accept it. Move on. Have a nice life. Just sayin.
Let’s hear more excuses why you lost. Since you like the boys rules, I am surprised you didn’t say that the girls should be tackling.


Only even mentioned the guys side cause some answering the complaints of others by stating the “boys have been doing for years” which isn’t true. Clearly SPSG have a lot of crazy lax parents when I make one comment and ten people comment back making it appear most agree. Just because your the loudest in the room doesn’t make you correct. Either way in joy the chip my daughter is friends with many of your girls didn’t mean for my comment to say anything but the facts.

Get over it Participant Trophy Parent. The tournament is over and you lost. Stop trying to justify the loss. SP scored more than your team. That’s why you lost. Very simple math. The only crazy one is you. You can’t accept the loss.

Reading this drivel it isn’t about winning and losing. More than ever the women’s game cries foul about not getting equal respect as the men’s. This may or may not be accurate but people in charge and the parents are the ones who hold the game back. Playing graduated seniors- and several teams did it- after a team had a full season and you have younger players in programs who could use reps and compete is just plain silly. But go ahead, reply that we lost, need a participation trophy, yada yada. Once again the dolts in this great sport will miss the point.

Wow. You still have not moved on. Such a lengthy narrative that says absolutely nothing. “Hold the game back”? This is the fastest growing game in the US. You have proven that you are not informed or credible with this narrative. A bunch of jibber jabber.

Besides one event is for committed kids to play with future college teams mates and the other was playing with high school freshman. It’s over though so stop trying to stir the pot.

You clearly have no idea or clue. The only reason the 2021’s played at the Commit Tournament, was because they didn’t play during Covid last year. Stop making up false narratives to justify your ridiculous and clueless points.

This is correct. Only the rising seniors are invited to the IL Commit Invitational. This year was an exception.

Are you going to complain to the NCAA when your kid is a freshman and plays against 5th year seniors? My mistake, of course you are going to complain. You want automatic wins without effort, competition, and hard work.

It’s OK. We know who everyone is. No one is anonymous here. That’s how we know when the same people have conversations and arguments with themselves to promote their agenda. It’s hilarious actually.

22 class ended up being a mix of girls cut or demoted to B teams at other top clubs. Their commitments reflect this

They lost some talented players from their 2021’s and 2022’s. Lack of coaching was a big part of the losses. 2021 coaches were only there to sub and not coach them up. Players got tired of the lack of coaching and left. 2022’s have a parent coach that is not officially a coach, but he is a big part of why they lost their talent. The official coaches allow him to coach and his daughter is on the team…and you know what that means. So the talent left.

Has anyone heard how the UA tryouts went yesterday? My daughter decided not to tryout this year.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
A cluster. One team (my daughters) didn't have a coach for the 2024/2025 ages. One time their team was told to run across the fields for a new game, then told to run back b/c there wasn't a game there. As a result, missed one game and no coaches to evaluate them. Wonder how that worked out for those girls?

Typical teams "randomly" chosen in the 2024/2025 bracket seemed wildly recognizable with some black and red club colors grouped together on one dominate team.

I paid, so my fault ultimately seeing the typical evaluators. frown

No one should be surprised if there are Redshirts players on UA - by the way, players that have never been on a UA team in the past. So again, PROOF that it's all a bunch of crock. It's not always the best of the best who is playing, it's all about WHO IS COACHING.

Some of those girls that are playing for AS, played in the UA in the past. Hoping AS takes off and proves the UA to be a joke that it has become.

22 was a hard pull since those girls want the under armour senion game. Look at the other age groups and you will see American select exceed under armour. Under armour should have the edge everywhere but lack of consistent tryout process and coaches selecting less deserving players has caused many to consider never trying out again. No redshirt is on the top 23 players in their age group so this would prove it.

It is your girls you have coached for many years and asked to run through walls for you. Of course there is bias. How do you do the tryout so it is fair? I say skill drills and sprint speed gets you on the team and then scrimmaging only gets you off the team, would be best in these tryouts. Some score for drills and "athletic" ability like shuttle drill and or 40 yard sprint. Rank all field players by those 2 metrics. Scrimmage and look for girls who wind up by dropping passes or bad shot selection or ball hogging to deduct from the rankings. That is how I would do it. Maybe I have each coach put in a players name away from the rankings and if she is within 5 from the 22nd ranked girl she bumps the last girl. Coach privilege.

UA is all about who you know and who knows you. They have good talent, but not the best from top to bottom. I just looked at the AS roster. 2023 is talented, but what happened to the 2022’s, only about 15 players selected and a third are TLC. Must not have been a large 2022 attendee pool.

Why would any committed 2022 pay over $800 to play in this event when UA is free other than the tryout fee? That's why you don't see many of the top 2022s. Mac is coaching so you have some NDP girls there.

Senior game is still a joke. How does a player not make it on the Senior game but has played in every UA game? How does someone make the Senior game that has not played in the all the UA games? I know - she played in the SPSG championship game, therefore that qualified her? It's all a joke. There are 3 local 22's that are guaranteed a spot on the Senior game, and everyone can name them.

That's absurd. Just because someone chose not to tryout for UA they shouldn't be considered to be one of the top 44 players in the class? Obviously you are talking about the SPSG goalie and I don't think there is anyone that knows the 2021 goalies that wouldn't agree that she is one of the best in the class. She has been incredible in her 2 full years at SPSG and was very good for SW all those years who were one of the best club teams in the class.

There were 22's that actually got cut from AS

You somewhat made my point. The 2022 roster is weak. There are players on that roster that have not been recruited or committed. In my opinion, the talent did not tryout.

Some of those girls that are playing for AS, played in the UA in the past. Hoping AS takes off and proves the UA to be a joke that it has become.

I would think that most players have a goal of playing in the Under Armour Senior All American game. You may as well just remove your name from consideration if you choose to go play for American Select
Senior game is still a joke. How does a player not make it on the Senior game but has played in every UA game? How does someone make the Senior game that has not played in the all the UA games? I know - she played in the SPSG championship game, therefore that qualified her? It's all a joke. There are 3 local 22's that are guaranteed a spot on the Senior game, and everyone can name them.

That's absurd. Just because someone chose not to tryout for UA they shouldn't be considered to be one of the top 44 players in the class? Obviously you are talking about the SPSG goalie and I don't think there is anyone that knows the 2021 goalies that wouldn't agree that she is one of the best in the class. She has been incredible in her 2 full years at SPSG and was very good for SW all those years who were one of the best club teams in the class. There is no way she is not one of the top 4 goalies in the 2021 class. And on the flip side how does making UA Underclass every year guarantee you a spot on the senior team? You realize there are hundreds of girls that make UA Underclass every year? Inside Lacrosse and college coaches choose the Senior Team. It is a completely different thing than Underclass.

If you look historically at the UA Senior Teams they do a pretty good job of identifying the top players.

I know kids from across the country that didn’t tryout for UA, because they know it is not fair and open competition. They are arguably some of the best players in the 2022 class. Just because they didn’t tryout doesn’t mean that they won’t get selected for the UA Senior game.

That is correct. Wait till next year to see if the 23 team returns or jumps over to under armour. 23 and below best players chose American select. Fact !

It depends on the regions which is why it's such a shame that they started this event and scheduled it on the same weekend as UA. It will create 2 watered down events. The SW director is coaching the 2023 AS team so of course they have a lot of the SW girls. The M&D 2024 coach is coaching the 2024 AS team so of course they have a bunch of M&D girls there. In other regions you have the better girls going to UA. The coaches/club directors are determining where girls are trying out because kids think they have a better chance making the team with their coach there.

No one should be surprised if there are Redshirts players on UA - by the way, players that have never been on a UA team in the past. So again, PROOF that it's all a bunch of crock. It's not always the best of the best who is playing, it's all about WHO IS COACHING.

I know its not East coast competition, but the UA tryouts in Midwest are a complete farce. Unfair is an understatement. The coaches 100% pimp their own kids. Corrigan's ought to be ashamed to have their names associated with this BS! The Midwest girls command team does not have 1 kid from central Ohio which is a girls hotbed. The entire team was made up of Michigan & Minnesota kids. Mich. & Minn. might be the 2 weakest states for girls LAX in the Midwest. Guess where the coaches came from? you guessed it Michigan & Minnesota. Half the final team was probably in the bottom half of the kids who tried out. I don't think there are more than a handful of kids on the team that deserve to be there. Total joke. there were kids in the 44 game that barely touched the ball in the tryouts. Its no surprise why the midwest gets lose every year.

Anyone that thinks the senior game is a joke is just mad that their kid wasn't selected. Every kid, boy or girl, has a goal of being selected to play in that game. The senior game and underclass are totally different. The senior game isn't about what club/HS coach chose you in some 4 hour tryout. It's selected by a panel of college coaches and others from Inside Lacrosse based on years of playing. I know every award, list, ranking, etc has to be called a joke on here because it makes people feel better about themselves but these kids need to work hard to get on those teams.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
This makes the point. The UA Senior game is selected from a set of criteria. I don’t think that we can argue against the past teams that were selected, and they have been some of the best talent in the country. There is always going to be that bubble player that gets left off of the team, but for the most part they do a good job of selection. CSE has been given great advice in the past on selecting evaluators and coaches from other states with no club affiliation, but they choose to ignore great advice. My daughter made the UA underclass team twice, but she chose not to tryout the last two years because of the partiality. She knew that there were players on her past UA team that were chosen because of who they knew, and she was very opposed to this practice.

If a Redshirt makes the team, we should all protest to CSE. No way any player from that team is a top player

There’s a reason why Corrigan is tweeting about AS, makes me think their tryout numbers decreased by a lot for him to tweet about it!

Those 23s be flexing’. Fishing for accolades. They wouldn’t be on the AS rosters unless they paid the money.
It’s not a great year for the 23’s to be trying out for Highlight. There are some real beasts on the 22’s.

And BM is coaching American Select this year and those BMS girls are there. So as much as they want to say AS is different it’s the same thing except it costs $700 more
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
Agree. BM is a TLC coach and director of the TLC middle school program. So that’s why we see five TLC players on AS 2022. AS selection is no better than UA, it just cost more.

I think you are wrong. Coaches never told girls where to go. Maybe by their presence influenced their decision to try. Also coaches had no input on teams. And most of the 23 sw made the UA team with an NDP coach and 2 mnd coaches that didn’t coach 23 age group. Try again with another excuse.

That is not true and how can you assert this fabrication. A coach advised my daughter to tryout for the AS team. Coaches do advise kids where to go.

If there was any question on the goal of American Select, the fact that they are having 2 teams at each age group on Long Island should answer them. It's a total money grab. 44 girls per age? That's not exactly just the elite.

I guess the MD parents are a bit more thirsty to put something on their daughter's resume. It certainly won't help the 2022s make the Senior UA team if they chose to play AS instead of trying out for UA. But with LI not having a 2022 team the MD team should have a pretty easy tournament.

Of course not, but do you think if there is a comparison between 2 girls and one went to AS and the other tried out for and played on UA CSE is going to choose the girl that played on the AS team instead of taking a chance and waiting for UA tryouts that just seems shortsighted.

That is what others have communicated. UA underclass selections are typically not the best of the best, but selected because of who they know. The UA Senior team is typically the best of the best, with some that may have been left off the roster.

I'm pretty sure that every 2022 on the Baltimore and LI UA team will be committed. Obviously from other regions you aren't always going to have everyone committed at this point. Their called hotbeds for a reason and Baltimore/LI/CONNY/NY/Philly/DC usually dominate the event.

I saw one on the AS team that tried out last year for the Baltimore and DC team and didn’t make either, but they made it in 2019 because of coach affiliation. The reason they didn’t make it last year is because the coach affiliation was not there. This makes the point.

They took the UA model which did not make a lot of money for CSE and realized that it could be a goldmine if they scheduled it the same week and set the tryouts before UAs. Saying it would be run differently and then seeing that almost all the coaches were prior UA coaches should have been a clue. Not to mention that it is being run by the person that used to run UA Underclass tryouts. A sucker is born every minute and when it comes to lacrosse parents that are desperate for little Susie to have accolades it's probably more like every 30 seconds.

Correct on all accounts... but no 2022 team.. no one showed up to tryout

I guess the MD parents are a bit more thirsty to put something on their daughter's resume. It certainly won't help the 2022s make the Senior UA team if they chose to play AS instead of trying out for UA. But with LI not having a 2022 team the MD team should have a pretty easy tournament.

23 md girls on highlight team. How many will make the final 44 next year ? Not all 23 !!

Of course not, but do you think if there is a comparison between 2 girls and one went to AS and the other tried out for and played on UA CSE is going to choose the girl that played on the AS team instead of taking a chance and waiting for UA tryouts that just seems shortsighted.

I LOVE UA! They have lots to clean up going forward or the senior game will be all they have. If AS gets a senior game that UA will almost be done. The tryouts have gone from bad to worse. I do believe lots of complaints from orevios weren’t 100% accurate ( all parents wearing rose colored glasses), this years tryouts were embarrassing. Hope the Corrigan’s get someone in that spot that can fix it!

I saw one on the AS team that tried out last year for the Baltimore and DC team and didn’t make either, but they made it in 2019 because of coach affiliation. The reason they didn’t make it last year is because the coach affiliation was not there. This makes the point.

Some were in the 19 team that won the tourney and 1 was championship potg! Zip it and take your lousy tude somewhere else.
My, my you are taking this very personal. You say that as it I didn’t know they won. They won as a team, not because of the ones that were selected by their high school coach. Your kid must be one of the non impressive ones on the AS 2002 roster. Figures. Now you zip it because, I can keep going with this topic and get deeper and embarrass you. Let’s do it. I am ready.

Stop the name calling before I call out names. You’re sour because your kid isn’t going to make the UA this year, and I am sure you had her tryout for both the UA and AS. If you were so against UA why did you have your kid tryout for the UA and AS??? I played D1 and coached, and selected the best players for my team based on merit. My kid made the underclass team four times and the Senior game, and going to a top 5 D1. Want more credentials? She didn’t have to go to another regional to better her chances. The only thing the coaches know about team selection is to pick their players. Most people on here agree with me about UA coaches selecting their players. Sounds like it is happening over at AS too.

You have too much time on your hands. You actually researched this stuff. Sad, sad, sad. Get a life and move on. Stop trying to justify the selections. AU is a powerhouse! We all know the selection process and favoritism of UA. Has nothing to do with your correlation and your list of college commitments. Two separate components. The AS 2022 roster is still weak. Why don’t you list the AS college commitments, and non commits?

Wow! Who cares where they play. UA or AS. As long as they play lacrosse. Enjoy the fact that your child (CHILD) loves the game and wanted to tryout for either event. Then enjoy watching the games if your child makes one of the teams. Stop the complaints, comparisons, and mud slinging. Grow up grownups!

You obviously have a lot of time on your hands, and I am not the original commenter. You people are living through your kids. Get a life and move on.

Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
so have you researched where the players who played on the UA team two years ago (because of coach affiliation) are headed for college? Just asking because you seem to discount their ability to play lacrosse. Let’s not foget that all of these girls went through the recruiting process during a dead period yet they were still snatched right off the board by some of the best college programs in the country. So I suppose their coach and the other evaluators know what they’re doing by putting them on the team that WON!
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
It’s not about wether they are deserving to be on the UA team-but it proves that every year, the majority of the girls that are picked are due to the coach representing the team that year. You can’t deny the proof. None of those Redshirts girls have ever made it before-but yet their Club coach is representing, therefore POOF-they make the team this year.

6 of the 7 were ranked by IL in the top 21 players of their class before the season was played. Had nothing to do with winning a championship.

No that’s not what I said. Sure there can be good players at RPCS. But if they were they’d be on Varsity. RPCS varsity was absolutely terrible this year. And these girls weren’t good enough to make Varsity and were on JV. Yet they’re good enough to make the UA team? Something’s fishy

Maybe the head coach at Roland Park screwed up and they should have been on varsity. I mean how much confidence can you have in a coach that takes a team that was in the top 5 in the IAAM when she takes the job and turns it into a complete dumpster fire.

Sorry but the RPCS girls had a great tryout.
Regardless of where you play, at the tryouts you went in blind and they rocked it.
Like tryouts are supposed to be correct?

You all knew the politics involved in these tryouts, and you had your daughters try out anyway!!! It has been talked about for years on here. The fact you are this bent out of shape about how these tryouts turned out is pretty funny stuff.

You do not need to tryout/make these teams to be recruited to top level programs.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
Agree. If you don’t like the process, don’t tryout. Stop complaining. My daughter decided to forgo tryouts because she didn’t like the politics. You have the option. Either tryout and be okay with the results, or don’t tryout. But don’t complain if you don’t like the results.

I was not a believer in the AS, until I saw the Highlight roster. I believe that AS has the backing of the college coaching association, and coaches will be present at the AS games, and not so present at the UA games. AS is the way to go, but they too have to fix some issues.

If we use your logic, then how many games did the Redshirts win at the G8? The answer is Zero, because only the top teams are invited. So how did three Redshirt players make the Highlight roster? The answer is, DK is a coach. Very simple math

A joke? That statement says more about the Redshirts program. They can’t get an invitation from the G8. Stop with the D1 recruit statement. Those Redshirt D1 commits were recruited based off of a highlight video….same as many recruits from other clubs. Once on campus they will get a bunch of bench time. That’s why they are at Redshirts. Not good enough to get on a real program.

YJ has been decimated by injury, so stop with the attack. As far as the G8, and I think that I am reading this correctly , you are saying that the the Redshirts are so bad that they can’t even get an invite from the “joke” G8. Thanks for the clarification.

Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
I do agree that it is really expensive and one of the issues that I implied, but the IWCLA is a big supporter of the AS. That is why there will be a ton of coaches at this years AS games and going forward. I just think that the dispute between the IWCLA and CSE is overwhelming, but the IWCLA will continue its AS support. Just my opinion.

Redshirts girls who made the team are not as good as some of the girls who got cut. There’s no comparison. The girls who got cut also happen to have left the Redshirts program a few years ago. Coincidence? I don’t think so.

The biggest joke is the UA underclass selection process. Do yourself a favor and do a little research. DK selected three Redshirts. The other two coaches have long ties to Anne Arundel County clubs and high schools, and one has a tie to Roland Park. Now look at the UA Highlight roster. See any correlations? You will find it interesting and validates what most are saying. This is the reason why the UA will continue to slide in talent.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
Can we stop already. UA is a joke, not because some of the girls on the team are not deserving, but it's how they get on the team that makes it a joke. Everyone knows it, that's why there is a drastic drop in tryout numbers. That's why AS has been created. That's why Corrigan himself is tweeting about AS - he is threatened. Can we move on already?

The tryout numbers were pretty much the same as they've always been. Not sure why anyone thinks AS is any different when it's run by the person that used to run UA and almost all the coaches were former UA coaches. It just costs A LOT more than UA for the same thing.

Highlight had 5 teams with about 16-17 girls per team. So around 80 girls total.

Clearly you’re not wrong but your complaints aren’t new problems. UA and every other all star type team is the same. AS follows suit look at the rosters and the club coaches evaluating you can just as clearly see the correlations. This isn’t ever going to change get on whichever team you can neither will hurt. Looking at the rosters for MD if you combined AS 22s/23s and played UA Highlight clearly UA would be favored also there will be coaches at both tournaments. Good luck to all the girls.

Corrigan needs to fix issues with iwlca for support. Are you saying AS let coaches have input on teams ? I was told by a source they were not allowed at tryouts and were notified of the team.

You are correct. The UA Highlight team would run a AS 22/23 team off the field.

SA 2022 is not strong, but the SA 2023 is strong. I agree, the UA team would win hands down and by quite a bit.

The best in class at 23 are at American select. One girl got hurt and didn’t make as but made under armour. The ones that made ua aren’t as good.

Listen if your worried about looks from coaches by the time these 2 tournaments come around, you’re living on another planet. This begs the question- Are these tournaments even relevant anymore?
The coaches have been out looking all summer.
They are only really getting second looks at this point.

This past weekend there weren’t as many coaches at the G8 as there were at Champions Cup. Didn’t anyone else notice? We are top bracket so we noticed.

What you fail to realize is that this is another opportunity to be seen by coaches that most girls will not be able to experience. It's all about looks, and the more chances you get the better. Maybe your daughter did ok at Championship Cup, but crushes it at UA or AS and changes a coaches mind.

I don't even know what your third sentence means but my daughter played for a top club and attended 2 IWLCA tournaments ever. President's Cup one fall and Champions Cup(think that's what it was called and it was in Richmond). And the only reason they attended the one in Richmond is because M&D messed up and didn't get teams into Lax for the Cure that year.

That really is a ridiculous comment - "they get recruited at the others". So, you are a coach and you know where/how all the players get recruited? Some players get looks at clinics/camps, not even at the tournaments.

Definitely looking like coaches have finished up the 2022’s for the most part. With September fast approaching and so many transfers in the portal being picked up, looks like most coaches are moving on to the 2023’s. I feel like the 2022’s have really been negatively impacted by Covid and the 5th year. Will be interesting to see how the 2023’s are impacted.

Agree, this is completely ridiculous. My daughter plays for a top club in the top bracket with most teammates recruited at this point. We have played at Champions, Capital, Southwest, New England and Presidents Cup in the past. We always had lots of college coaches watching (although not D1 during the quiet period). My daughter has also been a player at the UA Underclass games. Any time you can be seen by a college coach is a good thing no matter what tourney, showcase, camp or clinic. I think Covid and the quiet period showed all potential recruits this.

Yes it seemed that the coaches are finished looking en masse and now are being choosy at what teams they choose to watch.
The UA and AS don’t factor in as they will always have lots of lookers, but I am really curious about the MidAtlantic this weekend and not many coaches attending.
You can’t physically attend every camp, so hoping for some great camps/clinics in the fall based on what schools we are looking at visiting.

Exactly. Some folks on here love to talk negatively about the IAAM A Conference Champions. Next year it will be another school that wins it, and those same folks will talk negatively about them too. Shows a lot about their lack of character and envy. They will only be satisfied if their school wins it.

Exactly. They had 3 Senior UA All-Americans and they went 4-8 and lost in the first round of playoffs. What are they going to do with those 3 gone? The Gersmell comment was pretty childish but it's true they probably belong in the B conference now.

In your eyes, who are the "sub par teams"? You want the A conference to only consist of 4 teams (McD, NDP, Glenelg, SPSG)? Those the only ones good enough to play in "A"?

I agree. I am happy for the former coach as her new job is a big step up in the coaching ranks. She was doing a good job recruiting girls to BMS with the understanding that they would get a chance to play due to a smaller roster, get a great education and have a chance to go to a great college/university. I hope that they find a solid replacement.

Did your daughter not get accepted into Garrison!! Why would you think after next they will get moved down. They had a strong 2023 and 2024 class (i believe they started like 7 freshman and 2 sophomores), and most likely will have some talent coming in at 2025 and down the line. They seemed to hang tough with teams, just didn't have the depth that other schools currently have. It seems like they have an AD who is looking to improve the lacrosse program.

Unless the “very strong draw girl” has double reclassified and is physically built accordingly she’ll struggle against older girls whose bodies have stopped growing and have spent a few years in the weight room.

Ok GF parent, it is time for a history lesson. This is from pure observance and knowing the sport and landscape. They had three wins today n 2021, got moved down to the B conference in 2020. Look at their historical win/loss record. After you review the history, you will make the same decision that the IAAM made following the 2019 season. They moved them down to the B conference. It is no fun beating a team by double digits every time that you play them. Some of your own parents have said that they should be moved down so that they can compete. Stop dreaming about where they will be in the future. The B conference is their near future.

I forgot to mention that in 2018 and 2019, GF did not win a game!!! That should answer your question. The AD is not going to move the bar, but a good coach may move it. GF does not have the talent or foreseeable talent. Please stop trying to will wins. The other top teams are just going to get that much stronger.

Now we are on the same page. I agree 100% with you about the field hockey team. I know the IAAM lacrosse landscape very well and can speak intelligently about the A teams. GF is a National ranked hockey team, and have an awesome program. Do stop drinking the lacrosse Kook-Aid though. You are in an illusion. They are not a good team and will not get any better. There is not one of the top teams that look forward to playing them. Do yourself a favor, talk to some of your lacrosse parents, and they will tell you that it is not fun getting beaten by double digits. You said that GF stayed in some games. No they didn’t. The score didn’t reflect the game. Most of the GF goals against the top teams came against the second and third string players…fact.

Mcd isn’t building anything except dissension. After the current seniors graduate they have no goalies.. Maybe they can borrow a goalie from field hockey. It’s the same right?

Coaching it like the McD team is the problem - one girl does not make a team. Selfish play doesn’t work at this level. Reason M&D 22 has slipped in past couple years. It will happen once the 2022’s go to college too. Feel sorry for those committed to Maryland. They will have to endure it another 4 years starting in 22. I have never understood why all plays funnel through this one girl. And never understood why so many talented players and their parents accept it.

If DK or KM ever coach a team in the future, run as far away as possible. I just experienced a weekend watching the worst display of coaching in my life. Getting a root canal would be more enjoyable than watching those two coach a team again.

What is the deal with the two M&D 2022 players being added last minute to the American Select MD 2022 Team roster? I’m sure those who paid $125 to tryout were thrilled about that one. Especially those girls who didn’t make a team (any region or year). Behind the back deals like this are what ruins the reputation of these “elite” events. I’m sure the fact that both of these players have political/family/friend connections to club and tournament owners, directors, and college coaches had zero to do with it too? I’m sure any girl could be added to such a distinguished roster last minute? I was shocked when I saw this. Whomever was responsible for these additions should be banned from future involvement. I thought this event was supposed to be better than UA!!!???

So many talented players who never get to show what they can do because one is too busy trying to do it all, never taught how to be a team player. Look where it got this team. Look where it got McD, look where it got M&D. The common denominator is the same.

Coaching it like the McD team is the problem - one girl does not make a team. Selfish play doesn’t work at this level. Reason M&D 22 has slipped in past couple years. It will happen once the 2022’s go to college too. Feel sorry for those committed to Maryland. They will have to endure it another 4 years starting in 22. I have never understood why all plays funnel through this one girl. And never understood why so many talented players and their parents accept it.
You seriously think that will fly at MD? No way! She’s going to have to figure out quick that it’s a TEAM sport & not just a one player sport.

If DK or KM ever coach a team in the future, run as far away as possible. I just experienced a weekend watching the worst display of coaching in my life. Getting a root canal would be more enjoyable than watching those two coach a team again.


Dk is the owner and head coach of a club team. He must be doing something right.
That’s funny^

The only way he is allowed to coach a club team is because he is the owner of that club. Otherwise no one would let him near the sidelines.

True! As long as coaches and fellow players allow this to happen, the results will be the same!

Are you serious? How does this happen!! I just looked at the website - both the initial roster and the final roster are still on the AS website.

Both of these player’s families have significant connections too. One has a mother who is the right hand person to CR and big tourney director. The other I have heard is related to one of the AS MD 2022 coaches who just happens to own a big Maryland based club and daughter is a D1 college coach - interesting…

She didn't have much say last year, only with the defense. TA and BS ran the offense. It wasn't a one man show. That's why they won last year.

That's my point. It worked fine because they did not run everything through her last year like they did this year. Unsuccessful at M&D, unsuccessfully at McD, and unsuccessfully at UA.

Dk is the owner and head coach of a club team. He must be doing something right.

The only way he is allowed to coach a club team is because he is the owner of that club. Otherwise no one would let him near the sidelines.

He owns the club. That is why he is the coach. How hard is this to understand. He becomes the UA coach and mysteriously players from RS make the team. My kid was on the team and started, so I am saying this from a personal experience. This is why they lost. Both coaches selected fav. players and not the best players. RS players, RPCS players, and Anne Arundel county players. Not much of a secret how they selected the team. Most of us knew that this team was not making it close to the final game. CSE needs to step in and stop the madness. This is a joke.

All you need to do is look at the stats to see what happened and why it didn’t work! Mentioned selfish player was #1 in goals - 10 more than anyone else in the entire HL division. She was fed to by her club & HS teammate who was #1 in assists (and had 8 goals herself - UNC is getting an amazing player). No one else on the Balto HL team comes close in goals or assists. I am only looking at offensive players. There are offensive commits on this team going to UVA, Florida, Georgetown, Penn, Yale, Stanford & Maryland who scored less 5 goals the entire tournament. Many only having 1-2 goals. The only player who comes close to the 2 M&D22 Black players who ran the show is the Navy commit from Hero’s Green. And if I was the other Maryland commit from Hero’s I’d be looking for another college program to join. She just got a taste of what her college years will be like.

M&D 22 won the Lax for the Cure Championship in June. They only played in one other championship format tournament this summer. McDonogh made it to the IAAM championship game. These posts would lead you to believe both of those teams were substandard. Both are elite teams.

The 2024 goalie was put on last minute too and did not make the AS originally. I think some girls dropped out for UA so they had back ups. In the end these showcases do not make or break your kids lax future. They are fun events to add to their high school resume. Yes, you may get the attention of a college coach you like but if you are bound for that school one event isn’t going to make a difference.

I am not an M&D 2022 parent. They are a very good team with several outstanding players. There are were many good players on the Baltimore Highlight Team, but also some not so good ones that should not have made the team. Blame those losses on the coaching staff and their selections, not the players.

The teams are elite yes but that changes nothing about the issues stated in a previous post.

If you don’t play as a team against the better teams you will not win. The Baltimore HL team can get away with the me ball against weaker trams, but when the competition gets tough you better be able to move the ball.

Too funny. They are a very good team and top ten, no doubt. But lets not get carried away. They lost in the round robin to Fl. Got a bye for the first round of playoffs at LFTC. Then played a team demolished by injuries with no subs in the semi finals of LFTC. Played one real playoff game before that and then had questionable calls against MDU with flops all around in finals. Was up two players to go ahead by one goal and played keep away last 7-8 mins of 20 min game.
Then went 1-0-2 at Mid atlantics. Barely beat PA express and tied Liberty and BBL. Very good team and top ten no doubt. But anyone other than the people very close to the situation can see it is feed it to the very talented player and forget everyone else. If it were my daughter getting everything run through her, I wouldn't complain either. She is getting tons of press and that kind of is the reason people play club. To get noticed for college. Not saying it is right, but that is what club is for. Right?

If playing in 4-5 summer tournaments is too much for your daughter maybe she shouldn't be doing it. 2 practices a week and 4-5 tournaments in 2 months isn't too much lacrosse. No if your sending your daughter to a camp every week and she's playing in UA and other events it can be a bit much. But I hope that if your daughter is doing all of that she really is interested in playing in college.

I don’t think she is talking about just a 4-5 summer club circuit.
The NTDP combine just finished up today in 100 degree heat a week after Lake Placid and before that the AS/UA weekends. Plus camps you cannot miss for FOMO with colleges. Kids are now back to school for fall sports so their summer is over. Tuscany stinks in the summertime anyway, but this year it’s been heavenly because the crowds are way down
These kids had no summer and if they aren’t thinking twice about everything they have no life, and their families all go along with it. I guess I’m just observing out loud. I hope it’s worth it. I hope your kid doesn’t get called to the carpet late May of their Sophmore year and told that they are giving away your spot and it is ok to transfer.

Coach of the Decade
CHRIS ROBINSON, MCDONOGH SCHOOL
by Katherine Dunn


The Baltimore area boasts a history of outstanding girls lacrosse coaches, but when it comes to winning, none can match Chris Robinson.

VSN’s Girls Lacrosse Coach of the Decade, Robinson guided McDonogh to a perfect record, seven IAAM A Conference championships and seven national No. 1 rankings between 2011 and 2017. Before he left the program to coach in Florida, the Eagles’ national record 198-game winning streak had reached 177 games. They broke the old record of 103 in 2014.

Chris Robinson has won 410 games as a girls lacrosse high school head coach, including a national record 198 straight during his illustrious tenure at McDonogh School.
During Robinson’s 13 years as head coach, McDonogh went 255-10, a winning percentage of 96.2, with 10 IAAM championships and eight national No. 1 rankings. He was VSN’s 2013 Coach of the Year, USA Today’s 2016 and 2017 All-USA Coach of the Year and a two-time Baltimore Sun All-Metro Coach of the Year.

“I always tell people he just knew how to win…” said former Eagle Andie Aldave, VSN’s No. 4 Midfielder of the Decade.“There was just something about Chris where his energy and his intentions were like, ‘We’re just going to win no matter what the circumstances are,’ and I think having him on our sidelines, we knew that going into every game. Obviously, we played different teams and some were better than others, but either way, he always found a way to win. He knew who should be on the field, he knew what play to call. It wasn’t perfect, but he just always had Plan A, Plan B to Z for certain circumstances and that’s why we were always so prepared.”

Taylor Cummings, the best player in Eagles history and their current coach, said it was all in the details.

“We did so many game scenarios and game situations that he really focused on the little details which in turn built his lacrosse players’ IQ and helped us become smarter and more intelligent players. We had a lot of really talented lacrosse players and he made us thinkers too,” said Cummings, VSN’s No. 1 Midfielder of the Decade who went on to win three Tewaaraton Awards at Maryland.

Robinson said a lot of factors went into building the dynasty in the hotbed of a sport that already boasted six winning streaks of 54 or more games, including two of 103 — Loch Raven (1982) and Mount Hebron (2007).

McDonogh drew much of the area’s top talent because of Robinson’s track record. He and his brother Scott Robinson run one of Maryland’s top club programs, M&D Lacrosse, and many of those players went to McDonogh. He also praised his assistants, especially his brother who coached the Eagles’ stifling defense.

“Beyond that, the kids bought into our unselfish style of play,” Chris Robinson said. “Even though we had a lot of star players — kids that went on to be Tewaaraton winners and college All-Americans and everything else — they realized that we were a better team if we had seven offensive threats on the field at once, seven defenders all in unison and I think that was a real key to our success. We were able to remain so unselfish despite having so much star power.”

Robinson also helped the Eagles deal with the mounting pressure brought on as the streak climbed toward the previous record, surpassed it and continued to balloon. The players always said they didn’t think about the streak, but some, after they graduated, admitted that it was hard to put out of their minds.

Megan Whittle, VSN’s No. 1 Attacker of the Decade, said Robinson helped the Eagles keep it in perspective.

“I think a strength of his was his ability to focus on one game at a time,” Whittle said. “We never talked about the streak. It was always, ‘Who are we playing next week? You can’t think about everything we’ve done. We can’t think about what’s coming next…’ And that’s why it worked. I wasn’t thinking about championships. I was thinking about who are we playing on a Wednesday afternoon.”

Before he arrived at McDonogh, Robinson had already established himself as a top-level girls lacrosse coach. In six years at Mount Hebron, the Vikings won five state championships and were ranked No. 1 in the country twice. At one point, they won 54 straight games.

He’s taken his Midas touch to Lake Highland Prep in Orlando where he guided the Highlanders to the 2019 Florida state championship and to the No. 4 ranking in the Under Armour/Inside Lacrosse Girls’ Top 25 in his first season, 2019. They were undefeated during the COVID-shortened 2020 season and reached the state final this past spring.

He also started a branch of M&D Lacrosse in Orlando and it has grown from 31 players to 200 in three years.

At McDonogh, Mount Hebron and Lake Highland combined, Robinson has a career record of 410-22-1, giving him a 94.7 career winning percentage.

One of the Highlanders’ three losses over the past three years came against St. Paul’s and coach Mary Gagnon, who was never able to beat Robinson’s McDonogh teams. Coming off the IAAM A Conference championship this spring, she plans to play the Highlanders again, perhaps next spring.

Although Scott Robinson is not coaching with his brother in Florida, Gagnon said a critical head-coaching move is hiring great assistant coaches. She said the Robinson brothers set the bar high for other coaches and Chris Robinson has kept it high, going 49-3 at Lake Highland Prep.

“They were so hard to go up against, so well prepared,” said Gagnon. “They scouted the other teams and knew the talent of the other teams. They made every other coach have to raise their game to beat them… When I went to St. Paul’s, I was like I’m going to have to be a good club coach, I’m going to have to put time and effort into getting players to come to St. Paul’s and I’m going to have to be prepared to play the best talent. The way they prepare, I’m going to have to prepare. They took coaching to a different level.”

I'm guessing it's not happening since they never ranked any teams or anything all season. Fall sports are starting. They aren't going to go back and do any lacrosse coverage at this point.

Settle down goalie dad. Yes she is a good goalie, not one of the top in the nation.

She will got top of ACC, top of Big 10, top of Ivy. She is absolutely one of the best goalies in the '23 class.

Well considering they weren't allowed to talk to the coaches or be on campus with the current team or attend classes or you know, do the things that everyone should be doing before deciding where to spend the most important 4 years of their lives I'm not sure what homework you are talking about. Not saying they are unknown schools. Yes everyone knows these are good programs. But until you visit your daughter may not know if it is a good program for her. The rush to commit early and for parents to brag on their kids is not a good thing FYI. Duh.

Is that based on your 100% knowledge of MD lacrosse? Could you be more bitter for some unknown reason. Why must ADULTS go on here and feel the need to put their 2 cents on someone's ACCOMPLISHMENT. Honestly, A LOT of these girls may not see the field right away, but WHO CARES. They made the right choice for them, no need to make ridiculous comments just to make your self feel better.

I love people like this. Maryland gets one of the top 5 goalies a year so I am sure the BMS goalie is aware that she has 3 exceptional goalies in front of her and will have exceptional goalies coming in behind her. That is the way it works, at every position, at a top 5 (more like top 20) school. If you are the one that questioned her abilities in the original post, stink it up, admit you were wrong, and be happy for her like the rest of us.

Well the players can't talk to coaches, their club directors can and do frequently-- the last 2 weeks of August are the busiest weeks of the year for most club recruiting directors. Most players especially top ones know who is very interested in them well ahead of Sept. 1st. Anyone who says otherwise is either lying or misinformed.

Sure. But what the heck does that have to do with your daughter getting to know the coaches and players on the team? How does that help your daughter get a feel for what the atmosphere is like on campus? How does that allow your daughter to spend a day or two on campus, to attend classes, to ask questions? I'm fully aware with how the process works. Been through it several times with sons and a daughter. If you are comfortable with your daughter picking a college based on second hand conversations as opposed to actually going and visiting to schools and letting your daughter make an informed decision have at it. Just saying it's pretty silly to be pounding your chest about it when others choose to do the responsible thing and take this time to do just that. I'm pretty sure the M&D and SW girls will be committing to these same programs but will be doing so with a lot more information at their disposal having spent time at multiple schools. But go ahead and get your FB updated to brag about little susie committing already.

In all likelihood the big name recruits (the top 15-20 in their class) started the process a year ago. They have been to the campus multiple times, have played on campus at a camp where they met coaches and players, and had an opportunity the past 2 weeks to go back to those few schools and done all of this in more depth and maybe even attended a football game. Many of these top recruits also know current families and players connected to the team. Don't make it out to be more than it is. They narrowed their dream school list down to 2-4 schools (maybe even less) months ago and have been guided by their club coaches who also know the school's and talk to the coaches.

Oh, so you mean they would have to make a decision the way EVERY 2022 had to. No chance to do any of the things you mentioned. The NCAA and coaches truly did a disservice to the 2022 class.

IMO, the top recruits for the class of 23 clearly are not coming from SW, M&D, Hero's as in the past. If you are a top recruit, whether you are visiting schools or not, the decision would be made by now.

I've always been told goalies are usually first to commit, not every school takes a goalie every grad year either, and in that they aren't going to take two unlike other positions, and it becomes more urgent for both the goalies and the school to land their targets

What top program doesn't have this situation? If a program is expecting a goalie to step on campus and start, they messed up in their recruiting a few years prior. Even if a goalie used that as a factor, a quick transfer can ruin that plan, see BC as example.

Chose the school based on the environment, coaches, academics and program not on the depth chart of your Junior year in HS.

A SW just committed to Princeton. Great get- went to real deserving player too. I wonder what the other studs thought when they weren’t the first to commit. Parents probably pissed. It’s a very fluid process.

You clearly have no idea what your talking about. The top girls are being courted by multiple schools and unless you have a dream school already picked they are getting visits in now over the next few weeks. These top recruits have lots of options. It will take us at least 2 1/2 more weeks just to get in the rest of the visits in. These are just the official visits.

Yes. Generally, players will tell club coaches their top 10-15 targets and the coach will reach out over the summer to the college coaches. College coaches technically cant say if they will offer, but they can make it very clear.

Hope so because lots of commits have come through already and not many MD girls on the list! 67 2023 girl commits and only 8 from Maryland. Sign of the times though. As the sport has grown, perennial Maryland clubs like MDU, Skywalkers, M&D, etc.. are no longer developing the players to the same level as some other clubs like CT Grizzlies, Eaglestix, YJ, Top Guns, Jesters, LI Elite. The Long Island girls are far outpacing the Maryalnd girls and the Connecticut & Atlanta girls are giving everyone a run for their money. As the game has exploded throughout the US, the recruiting landscape has changed significantly. The old club owner/college coach relationship is not always enough anymore. Rude awakening for many 2023 players and parents I am sure!

Sad to say but true. More a matter of resting on laurels. Our MD club has such a laisse-faire attitude towards practicing that has stung.
If there’s bad weather or scheduling conflicts then practice is cancelled and not made up or no practice skills are sent to work on our own.
I know that the owner/ head of JetBlue (Neepier) lived and raised his family for a time up in CT and built the lacrosse program a new stadium up there( they didn’t need a Utahian to do this but it made it nicer).
As for GA there are a lot of transplants down there that make sure the girls are playing at the speed they play up here. Stick skills can be taught.

I just wanted to add that when we played a certain FL team this summer all of the parents had NewYawk accents

Jesters and LI elite, knock that off. They will never be above most MD clubs.

Actually just a Maryland mom noticing that our MD girls seem to be out recruited the past 2 years. It’s even worse this year compared to last. I was hoping last year was just a Covid fueled one off but this year is looking to confirm that sadly Maryland is no longer the leader in women’s lacrosse.

I am ok with Maryland not being the leader in women's lacrosse if girls continue to commit to the colleges that the 2022 class committed to from the clubs you mention above. Duke, Georgetown, Hopkins, Harvard, Florida, Maryland, UNC, Yale, USC, Stanford, Virginia, etc isnt a bad list.

The top 5 Sky Walker players on 2023 have their choice of schools (top lacrosse schools). I personally know that some of the top players on the SW's have turned down top lacrosse schools to play for schools they love not just because they are considered the best lacrosse schools. Three have already committed to Duke, Princeton and Georgetown because they want the education over just lacrosse. Both these girls could of gone to "better lacrosse schools". Yet for these 3 schools they got top players. 3 out of the top 5 players have committed with 2 being left. Our goalie already committed to Maryland.

Well shoot. If a Maryland lax mom did her research and noticed something anecdotally, it MUST be true! Case closed, go home everyone!

for the 2022 class according to IL there are 96 MD girls recruited and 120 from NY. Considering the size of MD compared to NY I would say MD is still a hotbed.

Is this combining Upstate with Long Island? To me, they are two different regions.

I would still say, MD would be the tops in nation, with Long Island right there.

that is all of new york. not every recruit reports their commitment on IL though...but it is still a good barometer to see that there is not as much disparity as some think there is. in the end the 23's will probably end up with similar numbers

Regardless, the population of LI alone is 7.7 million which is higher than that of MD as a whole.

Yeah but to be fair, the bulk of LI's population is in Brooklyn (2.59 Mil) and Queens (2.29 Mil), which don't really play lax. Nassau and Suffolk Counties are the lax hotbeds, and they total about 2.837 Mil.

If you add up to populations of Baltimore, Howard, Carroll, Montgomery and Anne Arundel Counties it's less than just Nassau and Suffolk as well.

It's a notIntelligent discussion. Anyone that thinks MD isn't still a lacrosse hotbed is just starting ish. While the game has grown MD and LI still produce a bulk of the talent.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
Same can be said for MD. Most recruits come the Baltimore,Annapolis and DC metro areas. We could just agree and say they’re the main hot beds and turn out similar number of recruits.

Long Island population: 7.2 million people
Baltimore Metro area which represents top ranked M&D, 2nd ranked Hero's and 7th ranked Skywalkers has a population of 2.7 million people
,
Excellent showing by the Baltimore area clubs.

This playground fight about which area is more of a hotbed I’d hilarious. Let’s see which girls actually see the field in college before we decide who wins the fight. Riding a bench at the top 10 schools doesn't make your area a hotbed.

Seeing the field in lacrosse is an extra. With pro lax paying what it does, the objective is to use lacrosse to get into the best academic school possible (that happens to be a good fit otherwise) and get scholarship money if available. Its really that simple. If going to a Stanford, Vandy, Duke, Georgetown, BC, ND et al is available at a deep discount (or getting into an Ivy period) is an option, do it now.

did you ever stop to think that maybe they're playing and putting in the blood, sweat and tears because they actually LIKE playing? if they don't like playing, they're definitely not going to enjoy their college years. my kid wants to go to a college that is a good academic fit where she can also see the field. going to an academic reach and riding the bench just so a parent can brag about what school their kid is at sounds like a recipe for disaster.

The bar and restaurant industry is full of lacrosse players who didn't push themselves academically. If the choice is be a role player for a a top flight academic program with a 40-50% scholarship vs being a starter at a $75k per year D3 or non fully funded lower academic level D1, the decision is easy. Life's a marathon not a sprint.

Who knows who gets recruited first, second, or last. NY parents are the first to pound their chests about it and post on their daughter’s behalf on social media. So yeah, it’s pretty clear who gets recruited first on social media.

I'd love to see a breakdown of the non-hotbed commits. The number seems to be growing. Florida, Colorado, Texas, Oregon, Ohio, Georgia. would you put New Hampshire in there? lots of Tomahawks committing. Doesn't seem to be a ton of California girls this year.

go to laxbytes.com - you can filter commits by state, club, college, position etc.

Since when is going to a good academic school equated to riding the bench? The two things are not linked. You're more likely to ride the bench at MD than Hopkins, Vandy, Georgetown, any Ivy, etc. But which degree would you rather your child have?

One IAAM coach took the opportunity to take pot shots at players during her comments. Parents were looking at each other thinking with is he/she doing.

There were only a couple of clear "pot shots." The more accurate description would be disingenuous. Could you imagine if the coach voiced their true disdain?

Gee, let me guess …. TC who has a few clear favorites. Heck she even has committed players who have yet to see Varsity. I’m sure she had something to say about that!

The coach you mention is an unbelievable player but a terrible coach. Many of the girls she coaches aren’t happy playing for her but are stuck. Parents are afraid to complain because she is too connected. And if she doesn’t like you she will never allow you on varsity even if you are committed to play college lacrosse.

At least the latest lacrosse magazine does her a solid by getting her to admit that she’s not everyone’s cup of tea.

What your looking at is typical of what happens at colleges. Could it be that these girls are not recruited by her and she doesn’t favor them?

How can you never be on varsity and yet still be committed? That says more about the coach than anything! Open up your eyes coach!

Yes she has college committed upperclassmen still playing on JV. They will not play Varsity this year either. She will make sure of that. Can you imagine going to play D1 college lacrosse and never having played at the Varsity level in high school? Poor kids have to try to hide the fact they are still on JV.

And yet we still had early recruiting.

Look at Epstein at Hopkins. He was committed to JHU before he even played in a hs varsity game.

This just proves the importance of club ball.

Club lax has supplanted high school lacrosse and the way to get recruited. Which is why its more important than ever to never have parent coaches of high school level club teams. But if you go to a school full of lax players your chances of sitting the bench increase. That is part of the problem with a couple IAMM schools with large rosters

Also shouldn't have HS coaches coaching club teams. The chances of a conflict of interest are way too high.

Club lax was built on parent and HS coaches doing the coaching. The college coaches usually are doing it for a few dollars and are not invested. This was such an ignorant comment.

The parent coaching definitely needs to go!!! Way too personal of a connection! The clubs make plenty of bank!!! Hire some coaches without personal connections! Parents pay a lot of money to these clubs!!! Coaches should be there because they choose to be coaches and have a passion for the game! Not “their” kids future.

Parents should be coaxhes. They have all the answers. They know the game, the talent and have recruiting contacts. Those coaching now have no clue. The best clubs have coaches that double as paid trainers for their own players and get paid to help recruit too!

What in the world are you talking about? I don’t know of one college coach who is also a head coach of a club team. Only see college players as assistant coaches during the summer. A HS coach should never be involved as a head coach/recruiting director/owner for any club team. Huge conflict of interest. Any reputable coach would cut ties with either the club or high school and not continue to be involved with both. There are several examples where coaches have done the right thing but unfortunately too many examples where they haven’t. The high school players who are not affiliated with the coach’s club are the ones who pay the price.

Yes!!! I see this happening in the IAAM now! The conference shouldn’t allow this to occur. A coach shouldn’t be able to use their influence in the IAAM/MIAA/varsity lacrosse roster and private school admissions to benefit financially in their club. Parents will have their kids play for a particular club for the sole purpose of gaining admission and a varsity roster spot at a certain high school.

My comment was from direct experience. My daughter switched clubs in 8th grade, leaving the club where her HS coach was Director. Lo and behold, she got put on JV the next year when 6 freshmen from the coach's club made varsity. It was apparent to everyone that this was punishment for leaving her club.

Sky Walkers is the only club I am aware of that does not permit parent coaches. The rest of the clubs certainly rely on parents to coach their teams.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
It;s true it's only SW who doesn't allow parents but it doesn't mean it's right that others don't follow. As my daughter is in her final year of club I have come to see that it is hard to get a good coach and retain them which is why it's easy to find a parent. They have a kid on the team, they probably have friends who's kids are on the team, or their kids have friends who join the team, and they'd be travelling to all the practices/games/tournaments anyway. So they're vested in the team. But I have seen it bare out almost every single time - a parent coach can NOT - absolutely NOT be objective. It's ok (i guess) when the teams are middle school aged. But it is a huge conflict of interest once they reach high school. There is too much at stake for some of these kids. If you can't do like skywalkers and never have parent coaches (believe me - I'm there and there's parents string pulling there too even if they're not coaching), they should take the team away from parent coaches once they reach high school. If a parent truly loves coaching and wants to help these girls - like I hear several of these parents profess - they'll realize this is the right thing to do. Coach, build them, help them grow as lax players until HS. They should remove themselves and/or the club should replace them for high school. That fact that they don't (look at M&D and Hero's 2023's. 2024's, and 2025's head and assistant coaches) shows that they weren't really coaching out of the kindness in their hearts but more likely to be able to control things for their daughter or daughters. Changing coaches for HS is a solution that solves the problem. Coaches are hard to find ? Great use parents from 3rd - 8th grade and then turn to team over to an unbiased coach for high school. The fact that this isn't done is laziness on the club's part and selfishness on the part of these parent coaches. They'd never admit it but that's the hard truth !!!!!

What hypocrisy are you referring to? Did the coach, school, or the club ever say or do anything that is counter to IAAM policy? If so, I am not aware of it.

If you just don't like the coach having club kids on her HS team, then complain about that, but don't call it hypocrisy.

Chris Robinson (M&D) recruited from his club for years at McD. And, McD, SPSG and NDP (top 10 teams in the nation) are full of talented players who don’t get much playing time or only make varsity their senior year but still get recruited to play in college . The IAAM is also full of other schools where the competition is less and playing opportunities more. Families need to make that decision themselves and consider the consequences.

Let’s not forget back in the day many kids went free to McD for girls lacrosse hence muliple Championships. Isn’t that the reason CR decided it was time to go. Money was taken away by new Head master?

Of course not. Seems smart to me. Still wondering what the hypocrisy is. Doesn't it make sense for a HS coach to get a view of the best 8th graders?

The bigger question is why do you care so much what she does? She is a great (GREAT!) coach. She is liked and respected by her players, the other students at her school, and her peers. She coached the No 1 HS girls lacrosse team in the country last year. How does which grade level club team she coaches matter?

She could volunteer to teach five year olds for free and some people on this platform would find fault. Get a life.

The issue becomes when girls feel like there is an overt or implicit requirement to play for a certain club program in order to have a fair chance to make their HS team. That is where the conflict of interest arises.

I don't disagree that there may be some level of expectation that an athlete play for a particular club team. I don't think it is a problem in the independent/private schools. Families and students have a choice as to where they go to school and for which club team they play. Go to a particular school? Expect to feel pressure to play for the club team that school's head coach is connected with.

It is a bigger problem in the public schools, where a student has no choice as to which HS she/he attends (or a very narrow choice).

Also works in reverse. Marginal players getting plenty of time in club games in perpetration for HS bc the school they will attend has coach affiliated with club.

As my daughter approaches HS, this is what I am keeping in mind. There are some very talented players who are in the grade above hers at her position (goalie) on multiple schools on our list. Ive been told to cross off a school because player X is a freshman. We've decided to not chose the HS based on the depth chart. If she rides the bench behind a stud for 3 years, so be it. Thankfully she has club to get her recruited and plenty of film. Also, you never know what will happen, kids transfer in and out all the time.

I also believe playing along side talented players can make you a better player in long run.

Coaches want players to be at their schools to help them win. Not sure they care what club they come from. If a coach only gets players from a local average club I can see that coach looking to get them trained better.

You'd hope that was the case. In our instance, the player went to a better club with better coaching and was punished for leaving the HS coach's club. Not the first time it happened, either.

Our IAAM coach will give varsity roster spots to younger players from her club over tenured and talented players who are not from her club. She gives significant playing time to these players as well. If you don’t play for her club you have a significant road block to varsity playing time. It’s very obvious and openly discussed within her club.

Incorrect. There is an IAAM school whose head coach is heavily intertwined with Integrity.

You'd hope that was the case. In our instance, the player went to a better club with better coaching and was punished for leaving the HS coach's club. Not the first time it happened, either.

Our IAAM coach will give varsity roster spots to younger players from her club over tenured and talented players who are not from her club. She gives significant playing time to these players as well. If you don’t play for her club you have a significant road block to varsity playing time. It’s very obvious and openly discussed within her club.

Couldn't be Spalding, the JV didn't have any kids that could have played Varsity. As for your "tenured" child, she knows who's better than her.

I haven’t noticed MG giving undeserved playtime to the girls that pay her for training but all of them make varsity.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
I think this is looking for facts that fit a narrative and not the other way around . MG has plenty of girls on jv that also train with her. She is a very good coach and great with fundamentals. That’s why she has a lot of girls wanting to train with her with both jv and varsity.

I love MG but she has a loooooonggggg way to go to be close to what CR did. Not sure why the detest for SPSG after one year. McD is probably the favorite this season anyway. McD, SPSG and GCS should probably be the top 3. Maybe Maryvale close as well. SPSG lost most of their starters from last year.

I agree with the top three, but I think GCS may be the team to beat this year. I believe they have over 20 D1 commits on the roster.

I don't think anyone can repeat or beat what CR did at McD. It was a dynasty. They invested lots of money into having a dominant team. Things have changed there since. Kind of like the Gilman football program when it was giving kids from out of state a full ride to get them to play football. The Head finally put a stop to that practice, and the coach left. Seems like the same clampdown may be happening at McD.

While a top recruit may get a bit of merit aid as an incentive at most schools, McD has been giving significantly more in merit aid to athletes, often to families with the ability to pay full price.

Parents play schools against each other - "we got $n from such and such, what can you do for us?" has become the norm.

At some point, schools need to ask themselves - what is their mission? Is it having winning athletic teams? Is it education?

Some schools have a clear mission, and would rather offer aid to qualified students who lack the means to pay rather than throw money at an athlete from a wealthy family just to win games.

Others not so much.

the coach they have is very good and will get more out of the girls than BR could. GCS wins it all this year but will be back in the B division within 3 years

MY daughter is in middle school and just starting to get some interest from some of the private HS in the area.

Not from the area, are there any HS teams on the incline or decline? Any issues non Lax related that make a certain school more or less appealing?

I would assume SPSG NDP McDonough appear to always be the cream of the crop?

Do you find some schools more than other help with financials, a few are really out of our wheel house from that respect.

Is it better to be the big fish in small pond? Do you even take depth charts into account or is that silly?

If you want the odds to be more in your favor, (given that you're not from the area and haven't had 5+ years of local club "experience" and politicking) look at the rosters and speak with the coaches. It is cutthroat. My personal belief is that it really is better to be the big fish in a small pond, unless you just want to be ON a team or win a championship. Have your daughter play for a bottom half team, help them have a record year or break through, and you'll get more good film against the top teams you mentioned.

If you're a college coach, would you rather see:

A) the girl who is second sting for a VERY good team, playing against little sisters of the poor in mop-up duty?
or
B) a girl who is a starter on a good team in the best league in America, who is competing THE BEST on a regular basis?

I used to coach for a local D3 college. I can tell you directly - If I'm looking for a kid to recruit, I'm not taking my chances on a kid who is a non-starter, or who might rely on her teammates at (#1 ranked school) to have already beaten down the moral of an inferior team. I'm looking for the kid who plays significant time for a good team, but keeps chugging away and doing good things in the face of great competition.

Really doesn’t matter what high school you go to, it’s all about club ball. That’s where the college coaches will see you play. Look to the academics of the private schools. How do they stack up against the others or the local public high school. Base your selection off that.

Good luck getting on a top club team late. They will have 21 of 25 girls returning and another 20 at tryouts. So usually < 4 spots available...

This is true, there are D1 commited players on some private school teams that have not started a varsity game.

If the goal is playing in college, high school ball is irrelevant. Outside of the state final weekend, not sure I can ever remember a non-local college coach at a game.

Focus on the best educational fit for your daughter and development. If she is good enough to start on varsity as a freshman as a bottom tier IAAM team, it will develop her more than sitting on the bench or playing JV at a top program.

I'm guessing his daughter is already on a club team if she's getting interest from private HS coaches already.

There's no right answer. McD and NDP have been the only constants over the last 10 years. SPSG changed when MG got there and she was able to bring in so many good 2021s. Talk to the coaches and see how you like them. Have your daughter shadow and see which she likes best.

In terms of money, for the most part it's all need based unless your daughter can get a named scholarship. NDP/Maryvale give less but they cost less to begin with.

Their parent is coaching a different age group. Don’t tell me they still don’t have an extra advantage. The other clubs like Heros and M&D have similar success with parent coaches. Sometimes the parent is a great coach. Getting buy in is tough but having 1 universal policy on parent coaches won’t work either.

Does it really matter? McD isn’t the powerhouse it once was. She hasn’t proven herself to be a great coach. Lots of games last season were won by a thin margin. I think there will be a lot of coaching changes in the IAAM in the next couple of years. Especially at the schools where they have a lot of talent but never capitalize on it.

NDP probably has the largest number of girls who play lacrosse by virtue of the fact that there are 600 girls in the upper school there. Cutting girls from varsity would trickle down to JV and FS and would eliminate girls from the lacrosse program altogether. They don’t really have the luxury to cut girls the way that smaller schools do.

This ^…Having one in private HS and one in public HS last year by their choices, the difference in learning and emotional health was staggering and both are strong students. Our public HS child moved to private this year and is still playing catch up. So yes, in our crazy world of the last 2 years never has sacrificing for a private education been more worth it.

It was posted around halftime of their first game. Obviously she watched at least part of the first half and the player stood out.

Amazing that conspiracy theories still exist. They were almost finished with the first half (2:18pm) when the tweet was posted. Since they won their games by an average of 14 including the playoffs I assume that she played pretty darn well

Not sure why the detest for McD either but let’s be clear about 3 things:
1) it certainly wasn’t a useless tournament to the girls
2) if you think it useless, then why ever play any tournaments, with your logic games don’t matter then either
3) This is usleful if you care about rankings for Maryland teams. This is the only games the teams will play between states for their high school. Therefore it helps all Maryland teams with national rankings which is also important to the players (clearly not to you of course because it is clear that your comment is literally about taking success away from the girls that work hard win or lose)
To close, just let them have their kudos on a great winning weekend. As I am sure you can’t possibly run up and down a field once let alone for 4 straight hours of games and playoffs.

Love it! Check out some rosters. Some traditional great lacrosse schools played in this "useless" tournament. Players are going to some powerhouse college teams. All of those teams came ready to play, and there was some really great team play and individual play that I witnessed from too many teams to count. I enjoyed the weekend, even though we lost. So stop bashing teams that win, and do yourself a favor...go to counseling, and let you kids team play without you bashing the team that beats you.

Thanks SPSG parent. Why isn’t SPSG playing in the BWI indoor league then where they can prove they are the best week in and week out. A 4 game tournament doesn’t prove much when they play weak teams.

The BWI indoor league is good for reducing roster size eg causing injuries before the season. There is a big disparity in skill levels between teams and often those frustrations result in rough play

SPSG or McD coach? Guessing McD. Someone needs to expose her for who she really is. In fact a few coaches in the IAAM need to be exposed for who they really are.

Yeah ok. There’s a clear agenda when you look at whom this particular IL contributor has made comments like this about and we’re she’s ranked players in club and college. iIt’s obvious if just look through the last few months of the magazine you’ll notice almost every picture has a common theme.

Your logic is incredible, I can only assume that you peaked in high school and now praying your kid can do the same. To respond in the same context and I ordered them from least notIntelligent to most notIntelligent to help with your presumed iq under 80(but I am sure you scored 4 touchdowns in one high school football game and you used to bench 405)
1) no one is claiming it proves anything except that spsg was the best that weekend.
2) with kind of argument is “why don’t they do this league or that league” or they aren’t the best. By that logic Michael Jordan stunk because he never won a game in the wnba
3). Weak team? 12 of the top 15 schools In the country were there.

I stand corrected.SPSG has already won the IAAM A. All the other 13 teams are playing for 2nd. You are a typical private school

I WANT TO CHANGE MY ANSWER ON THE IQ, I CAN ONLY ASSUME IT IS BELOW 50. Not assuming that any team will win next year, I specifically said that SPSG was the best THAT WEEKEND in THAT TOURNAMENT. This debate started because you said that it was a "useless tournament" with "weak competition" which is you either being a sore lost or just plain ignorant. Ultimately the area is packed with amazingly talented girls and coaches and any team can win. (But I am sure you will be on the sideline claiming that whoever won didnt deserve it of course)

Sorry that's what you took from my comments, all I said was that SPSG was the best that weekend at that tournament. Same I would say if my daughters school ever won a tournament or the IAAM. My frustration was based on the fact that you called the tournament "useless" and that there were "weak teams" which is wrong on so many levels. Let the girls enjoy their win without some disgruntled dad challenging their success

The BWI League is a trash league. SPSG stopped playing there because of two ACL tears three years ago. Most teams are sub average.

What happened? Your kid didn’t get a look during some tournaments? Sounds like it. There are a million excuses in the world, and I bet you can think of all of them. You are the typical parent whose kid is not that good, but you trash everyone else to justify the reason why your kid did not get accolades…and why are you stalking the IL writer??? you are a strange cookie. I bet you can give us every trash like excuse in the world. Perhaps lacrosse isn’t her thing. Try badminton.

Clear agenda? The only agenda is that you have one, because your kid isn’t good enough to get mentioned. Jealousy and envy gets you nothing. You are a pathetic person that loves to think of conspiracy theories and throw them out. That won’t make your kid better at lacrosse. The only thing that I can clearly see is that you are upset, because your kid didn’t get mentioned after her tournaments last fall and summer. Maybe she is in the wrong sport.

I always find it amusing when a comment like this gets posted. "Useless"

Maybe it wasn't useless to the girls who actually showed up and got to play in a competitive environment. Any time you can square off and showcase your skills, it's not useless

But I'm glad your daughter was able to stay home and make TikToks and eat her 20th Chick Fil-A nugget.

I have seen all of those mentioned players, you probably have too. They are exceptional and you know it. I will take any of them on my team. I wish they were on my team! Because your little girl wasn’t mentioned, don’t detest on the others.

Why is the attack always "you're kid isn't good enough"??? Get another response please! The comment didn't state that the player didn't deserve the recognition...it's just odd that a "standout" was stated when the player hadn't played a full game yet.

No nerve at all. Our club team has played against most of those players that got mentioned. They are very good and stand out. By the way, get your timeline correct before you spread the untruth; but that is what you conspiracy theorists do. The only nerve that was hit was yours, and your clear pathetic agenda. There are forums for your conspiracy, so go over to those...which I am sure you have membership.

What is so confusing? She played on the #1 high school team in the country last year behind a highly talented senior class and is now getting an opportunity to shine (and, she did in this tournament). Good for her and all players like her who will get more opportunities this spring and beyond. I don't think it is unusual for younger players to step up when given the chance particularly on deep talented teams like NDP, SPSG and MCD.

As a POC and former lacrosse player I have a lot of concerns about this article. I have been in the locker room and experienced similar conversations. But I feel like there is a lot of spin going on. Just not sure if it's coming from the mom or the writer of the article. Since when is having in-earnest conversations with teammates/friends racist? So many people are scared to talk and get to know eachother for fear of offending. Being friends/teammates means those conversations CAN happen. If it's a conversation, not being cornered. If the friend or teammate offends you and is overtly malicious with their comments/conversation, they aren't a friend. If its a bad time to have those conversations, Tell your teammate, "maybe some other time." The way this is scenario is portrayed for the point of the article seems questionable to me. That may or may not be the case. The teammate could also just be young and notIntelligent.

The rest of this story sounds like the same complaints EVERY lacrosse parent has:
"My kid is REALLY good. Why cant she play a different position?"
EVERY kid wants to play a different position. Especially defenders.

What people are missing is that this kid tried out made her team AS A DEFENDER. No smart coach is ever going to switch a kid out of their normal position on their whim, to try something new. Try that experiment on another's team's time. Or work on it in the offseason and try out for your team at the new position. Rosters made with a plan in mind, so moving a player, particularly a top player like this girl apparently is, changes a lot. Not necessarily for the better.

So the Coach of the A team wanted her to play defense but she went to the B team to play mid. Then basically calls out the A coach as a racist for not allowing her to be a mid. Hopping this is the mom and not the player.

She also plays defense for her high school team as well. She also doesn't take draws for her school either so not sure how she broke the draw control record. This hole article is contrived. Maybe a bit of self publicity arranged by the parents.

He always made me play goalie.
So the coach was racist.

I don't get this article? She played defense for the US team, so why is their argument that playing Defense for her Club team racist? When did playing defense become racist? When did getting a red card become racist? Am i missing something?

NEWS FLASH: You don't have to take draws to control them. I just watched Griffin's 2021 highlights and there were dozens of draw controls.

I know US Club Lax isn't the be all end all, but M&D 2024 Black is ranked #1...guessing they've got a pretty good midfield unit as is... Take race out of the article and this sounds like every other lax parent who thinks their DD/DS is God's Gift to the sport.

This was from the Washington Post so you know the article is configured to fit their narrative on race…even though race has nothing to do with this girls ability to play defense or midfield.

Sounds like the parents pushed the narrative as the story reads. If she is succeeding as a midi (which i am sure she is great at), why did she play defense for US team? If they found it to be so offensive to be a defender, why didn't she push to play mid for them? The story just doesn't make sense IMO.

I’m sure her fellow defenders are going to love playing with her now that they know she thinks she’s better than them.

I don't think it is unusual for younger players to step up when given the chance particularly on deep talented teams like NDP, SPSG and MCD.

It happens every year and I enjoy seeing the next one step up. The seniors graduate and the underclassmen get to their opportunity. Same thing happens at the college level.

Theres no one instigating anything. The article doesn’t makes sense, plain & simple. Big guestion is, if she’s good enough to make the US team, WHY is she on red? She’ll be on black this fall, I’m sure.

Most the top talent doesn’t try out for the USA development program. Has no relation to actually playing on the USA team later. Brogden cup is like a 3rd rate tournament.

Probably because M&D was a better learning club where she could develop.

Some in the lax community believe that AA players lack the skill to be attackers or midfielders, therefore, should be defenders. Getting a red card for saying something as common as “I got ball” is outrageous.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
There is racism (overt or covert), discrimination based upon race (or other factors) and racial bias. The head coach of M&D Black 2024 has not displayed any of them in all of our interactions with him. No man is without sin but a racist is not something you should call him.

What I find odd is, the number of lacrosse figures sharing this article and giving support. It’s a huge black eye to lacrosse if some of these things are true.

The “we could take over” statement at the end was what did it for me.

I don’t know how this doesn’t hurt her recruiting.

Ok I just googled her. She has sooo much good PR coming her way.
Great job Mom and Dad!
Kinda reminds me of a few other high schoolers not from the east coast on the circuit right now…
Anyways- these tournaments she entered and made are not cheap! Money grab city! Her parent must make a lot of it.
The USNTDP is expensive to try out, and to make the team. Maybe it’s a little seasoning on my part but you do not need these tournaments to get noticed by coaches- sure it helps, but if your kid has the right stuff, just keep on swimming!
I am just imagining the number of POC of a righteous playing ability, that can’t and don’t enter these tourneys because of cost.

Something about me wishes I had never read the article because all I can think of now is how big that chip is and all of the players anxiously awaiting an opportunity to knock it off- especially the true happy defenders who “just aren’t that good enough” and are waiting at the back to the perfect opportunity to knock down, slide, deflect, charge, pick six, yellowcard, BRING IT ON.

The girl dd not start playing until she was in 7th grade. By that age most of her peers have been playing for 8-9 years. So that alone puts her at a disadvantage if she wanted to play mid or attack. So yes she naturally has lower skills and IQ than her peers that have been playing since they were 4 and 5. Add to that she is from PG County which like most counties and states is not a lacrosse hotbed. Her parents probably didn't play lacrosse, so again she did not get exposed to it early. Race had nothing to do with those factors. If you watch her play (Her hudl is probably blowing up) she is fast and can play d but has average skills as a middie. Add to that, she is playing against B level teams. Not hating but this was very strategic by her parents right before recruiting season.

sounds like a very self serving person and not really interested in "diversity" just wants to get her kid recruited
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
My 15 year old would have respectfully let me know that this is not something she would have wanted to be a part of and for that reason I do not feel bad. Teenagers have their own thoughts and opinions and unless the family dynamic resembles a dictatorship, those thoughts and opinions are shared and considered.

Also, when the article was first published the young lady was quoted at the end saying like “we can take over”. That is an extremely unsettling quote with an uncomfortable tone. I looked again today and that quote has been changed to say something along the lines of being a “trailblazer”.

I do not feel bad as this is the narrative that the entire family has chosen.

Wow, pot meet kettle! Check your virtue signaling at the door. Lacrosse is one of, if not the most blatant, of all college sports to provide systematic back door affirmative action for rich suburban wasps.

Did I miss some direct or indirect reference that she tried out (or wanted to) for M&D black, but decided to play red instead so she could play midfield? Seems like a lot of assumptions just because she is not playing for M&D black that it was a decision based on the coach not being open to her playing midfield.

If she was a great midfielder she would have been put on black. Those midfielders and even those defenders are top level players. The AA midfielder at Heros is really good and can make any team in the area. This girl obviously not a top level middie but let’s see where she commits to play and that will tell you.

I like the way the Wash Post set this article up with a lack of diversity in Montgomery County lacrosse on Christmas eve.
The Post is a one trick pony and that pony is racial division.

Wait, the article was edited after the fact?

It is the parents and US Lacrosse pushing the agenda.

The mom (who may or may not have any lacrosse experience) is presenting on "diversity in lacrosse" at the US Lax Con.
sounds like a very self serving person and not really interested in "diversity" just wants to get her kid recruited

Wow, pot meet kettle! Check your virtue signaling at the door. Lacrosse is one of, if not the most blatant, of all college sports to provide systematic back door affirmative action for rich suburban wasps.
Read this 3x’s …still makes no sense

Theres no one instigating anything. The article doesn’t makes sense, plain & simple. Big guestion is, if she’s good enough to make the US team, WHY is she on red? She’ll be on black this fall, I’m sure.
Most the top talent doesn’t try out for the USA development program. Has no relation to actually playing on the USA team later. Brogden cup is like a 3rd rate tournament.
You are fooling yourself if you think top talent is not trying out for the US team-of course the girls want to make the team!


Ok I just googled her. She has sooo much good PR coming her way.
Great job Mom and Dad!
Kinda reminds me of a few other high schoolers not from the east coast on the circuit right now…
Anyways- these tournaments she entered and made are not cheap! Money grab city! Her parent must make a lot of it.
The USNTDP is expensive to try out, and to make the team. Maybe it’s a little seasoning on my part but you do not need these tournaments to get noticed by coaches- sure it helps, but if your kid has the right stuff, just keep on swimming!
I am just imagining the number of POC of a righteous playing ability, that can’t and don’t enter these tourneys because of cost.

Something about me wishes I had never read the article because all I can think of now is how big that chip is and all of the players anxiously awaiting an opportunity to knock it off- especially the true happy defenders who “just aren’t that good enough” and are waiting at the back to the perfect opportunity to knock down, slide, deflect, charge, pick six, yellowcard, BRING IT ON.

Of course her parents have money because she attends Severn School and travels there from PG County. Even with a scholarship, attending Severn is not cheap and a parent has to be responsible for getting her back and forth which means time away from a 9-5 job. I found the article insulting to other POC that I have seen play over the years in ALL positions. I know of quite a few M&D BLACK players who have tried out for the USNTDP and didn’t make it so the fact that she made the team and plays on the RED team says a lot. My daughter plays for another school in the IAAM-A division and this player did not stand out when her team played Severn. This whole article just doesn’t seem authentic and I don’t know who would want to coach her and set themselves up for future scrutiny/racist label. This definitely will hurt her future recruiting.

I agree it is insulting to other POC players. I've seen some great POC players at tournaments over the years in all positions but whats wrong with defense?. There is a great POC mid at Hoco that killed us last summer. I don't think I've ever noticed the girl in the article but maybe, just maybe she shouldn't be a mid. For the US team she made it out of all of those other players that tried out. How many tried out?

You are making bad assumptions and statements. You assume that her parents are using this as an elevation platform. You have no idea, nor I, of their experiences. So please stop making these types of statements. Earl Woods had several issues with golf and golfers on how they treated his son. All you need to do is Google before you make a statement…. I did.

The Post is notorious for not doing their research. They jump on an issue without researching both sides of the story. Sadly, the message this family is trying to convey gets lost and weakened by the journalist. We need diversity in all sports. Lacrosse is an expensive sport that makes it hard for lower income of any race to compete. I think the issue is more of a socio-economic problem than a race problem.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
But to claim that a coach moving a player to defense is racially motivated is way off base. There are plenty of star studded high school midfielders who end up playing defense in college. There are lots of players who end up playing completely different positions and being asked to play roles that they didn’t anticipate playing.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
Completely agree. It is obvious the parents have/had little understanding of defense and lacrosse as a whole. Parents mention they bought books to get better educated on the sport. Every position plays a vital role in success to win a game. Seems like they are using race to elevate their daughter but their argument falls short or at least the journalist conveyed it that way.

They are using it to market their daughter, I mean given the current climate, its not a bad idea.

The article completely ignores the minorities that came before her, no mention of a Emma Ward, who is currently a honorable Mention All American at Attack, as a minority.
This is not the first article on the family and their perspective with race issues.

As one person said, theirs a financial divide in the game of lacrosse, more so, than a racial one.

Except that's the homogenous safe space BS that perpetuates the glass ceiling and discrimination in the sport. If recruiting were just about winning lacrosse championships then that's one thing. But it's also about granting admissions into many of the world's most elite and selective universities, and in turn into the most coveted and important professions down the road. When coaches at "top" schools like Vanderbilt, Georgetown, Brown, Cornell, Army etc. make it a priority to perpetuate blue-eyed safe spaces even though they are rarely or never in contention for the Final Four, then they are just exercising reverse affirmative action. At many of these schools, it could not be more flagrant that the most important qualification for getting recruited is eye color, not playing ability. Heck, you're already at a disadvantage if you are white but with brown eyes. These safe space coaches are denying admissions to other more qualified applicants who have busted their jerks - whether or not they play lacrosse - and failing in their bigger responsibility to cultivate real future leaders who are capable of comprehending diverse input and competent at tackling diverse issues. The failure is especially egregious at a institution like Army, which pays for student tuition with public tax dollars and has a responsibility to reflect and resemble the best of America's melting pot, not the Mayflower.

Wait-wait-Brown and Georgetown safe spaces for blue eyes? Hardly! Wokeism has broken that glass ceiling long ago.
Now—- if you had mentioned true blue eyed safe spaces like Richmond UVA Denver and Vandy (1 point for you) you’d have a much more credible comment.
Have you even taken a close look at the service academies lately? Another bastion of wokeism.

I love the sport of lacrosse and both of my kids played at the elite level in club and HS and one is still playing D1. The WAPO article, and many of the responses here and on WAPO, are all bull. For the longest time, lacrosse was a only a prep school sport. It has been great to see its popularity grow and to see it spread like it has over the last 20-25 years. However, its growth will be capped, to some extent, by the fact that it is an expensive sport with regard to equipment, field use, transportation, etc. and in the south, deep south and southwest, competes with baseball and softball. Public school AD's simply don't have the budget space to add a sport as expensive as lacrosse. For that reason alone, it will continue to be predominantly regional public and private school sport.

Both of my children played with black players growing up and several of my daughters black teammates are now on, or will be on very good college teams. Like any sport, if you can play, you can play. With regard to the parents of the player in the article, good coaches will tell their players that barring serious injury, they do not want to hear from the parents except at pre and post game meet and greets. There is no surer way to get your child a one way ticket to the bench than to try to discuss playing time, positioning, strategy... with the coach(es). They don't come to your workplace to tell you how to do your jib. Also, I have seen it happen more than once where notoriously PITA parents have significantly harmed their child's recruiting process.

With regard to the socioeconomic elements the bleeding heart WAPO injected into the article, I would love to own and race thoroughbred horses, or maybe a Formula 1 Team, I don't because I can't afford it.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
I agree 1000%. The same has been true for both of my kids regarding playing alongside black players and seeing those players be offered excellent opportunities at top 20 Division 1 programs. And I have seen this girl play lacrosse. She is extremely fast and can run like a gazelle but her lacrosse skills are lacking and anyone who watches her play alongside players who have better skills can see that. I watched every minute of the US tryouts this past summer and it was evident. And as for “sticking” players on defense….a lot of coaches will tell you that they put their best athletes on defense so it is actually a compliment unless you think you’re entitled to score goals and do things that show up on the scoreboard.

Nobody is rejected for eye color, skin color, etc. People are disqualified for health reasons, criminal records, etc. but not for the reasons you stated. The military is as close to a meritocracy as you will find in this country. Do problems with racial discrimination exist in the armed services? Yes, as they do in our society. Is it tolerated? Only by Commanders who are inept/corrupt and who will eventually be relieved and forced out of the service.

The military has a responsibility to attract and retain the most highly qualified personnel available. Discrimination (or reverse discrimination, as you suggest) runs counter to that responsibility.

The USMA is in the top 15% of US colleges in terms of racial diversity. 14% of the US population is black. 12% of the USMA Corps of Cadets is black.

The rest of the schools you mention have lower percentages of black students. Is that because of discrimination, or because of the choices students make as to where they apply?

How good will SPSG this year. They lost a ton of talent. They have a ton of talent, but they don't have the experience of the group that just left. GCS is loaded this year. NDP is loaded at all levels. MCD is top heavy, but #1 player in the country will help all around.

MCD, GCS, NDP and SPSG are some of the top teams in the nation and will battle it out for the Championship. There is a huge talent gap particularly in terms of depth with these top 4 teams compared to the rest of the league.

are you saying the depth of the 4 top teams is not as good as the rest of the A division or they have more depth/talent than the rest of the A
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
The top 4 teams have significantly more depth/talent than the rest of A by a wide margin. There are bench players on the aforementioned top 4 who would start at other A schools.

More depth than the rest. Which means more legs in tough games. Or more players to turn to when the usual studs are having an off day. And more battles at practice where iron sharpens iron.

Doubtful. Pulling 1 or 2 good players a class isn't going to get you competitive with the top teams. I know they are throwing some money around but GFS just isn't the kind of school a lot of families are looking at these days for a myriad of reasons.

Looks like my reply was sent to soon or edited by moderators.

Anyway, the new Maryvale coach got kicked out of a game last season over a bad call. (probably cost them the game)

Dude went ballistic on refs, yelling / cussing / etc for several mins and had to be escorted off field.

I get it, we all get caught up in the moment but there were tons of little laxers around and was in bad form.

UA - $145 total

Unless you are a 24 looking for a little more recruiting you should try UA or give your daughter some time off unless money doesn’t matter to you.

You don't think Pink cat hats is political then I guess red "Make America Great Again" isn't political either? This is a private school anyways, isn't there some sort of dress code?

Great school if you can get past the politicalness…..but remember, it is everywhere. The lacrosse program is rebuilding and will be just fine. Not everyone cares about winning championships. Some people actually care more about the academics and that their kids will actually have a chance to play and not ride the bench. If your daughter did a shadow day there and liked it, then send her there.

Let's be honest. GFS belongs back in the B conference. Since 2011 their conference record is 19-97 and 8 of those wins came in one fluky year. 4 of they years they didn't win a single game. One year with 1 win, two years with 2 wins and two years with 3 wins.

Schools can request to move between school years. No, there isn’t a huge difference, if any, between the bottom of A and the top of B. But neither group is competitive with the top half of the A conference. The A conference is far too big most years but schools won’t typically voluntarily move down because it could effect enrollment.

Completely false. The bottom A school is much better then the top B. The two teams scrimmaged last year with a 10-1 score and could of been worse.

No of course not. But should it be 14? No other sport in the IAAM has that many teams in the A conference. Why does lacrosse other than that it is the highest visibility sport in the conference? Since 2014 Mt de Sales best record in conference is 4-7. They haven't been .500 once in the last decade. Every other year they had 0-3 wins. Already posted the history of GFS over the last decade. Why are these teams in the A conference if they can't compete with the other teams? GFS is at least trying to get better but MDS doesn't really support their lacrosse team at all. If you can't at least be .500 twice(MDS hasn't done it once) in a decade why are you in the A conference?

Every other sport in the IAAM does exactly that. Why is lacrosse any different? Softball has 4. Soccer, basketball and volleyball have 6. Field Hockey has 10. You are correct about talent. So if those schools aren't doing what it takes to bring in talent and compete with the other teams why aren't they playing in the B conference with the other schools that also choose not to do it? Shouldn't there be some expectation of competing at some point over a decade?

The difference between the 'A' conference and the 'B' conference is exponential. Same with between the 'B' and the 'C' conferences. Generally speaking, 'A' conference teams will consist of mostly club players from very strong club teams and 3-5 game impact players. 'B' conference may have 5 or 6 club players with maybe 1 exceptional impact player on a team. 'C' conference teams might have 1-3 players from club teams and are mostly made up of athletes from other sports like soccer or basketball and lacrosse is their "second" sport. Just kind of what I have noticed over many years of being involved in IAAM lacrosse.

It’s very hard for a coach to recruit “A” level players to a school in “B” conference. A school like Mercy would have a hard time taken that next step. Have a great soccer program maybe if they could find some soccer players that also play lax.

You definitely have a point. Though if they moved to the A conference recruiting would be a bit easier and they would have a much bigger pool of girls to recruit from. Not every kid or parent wants to or has the means to send their kid to St. Paul’s and McDonogh. Mercy could be a great alternative. They could focus on the middle of the pack players and sprinkle in a top tier player every other class and have a competitive team. Other schools have done it like gcs and trying to do it like gfs.

You definitely have a point. Though if they moved to the A conference recruiting would be a bit easier and they would have a much bigger pool of girls to recruit from. Not every kid or parent wants to or has the means to send their kid to St. Paul’s and McDonogh. Mercy could be a great alternative. They could focus on the middle of the pack players and sprinkle in a top tier player every other class and have a competitive team. Other schools have done it like gcs and trying to do it like gfs.

GCS built their program by throwing a lot of money at lacrosse players to come there. They are not going to keep doing that(Part of the reason BR is no longer there) and their program will fall back to the pack. But that's what they had to do to successfully move from B to A like they did. Is Mercy willing to do that?

Same can be said for McD. CR had a lot of money to work with and recruited lots of talent. His last group is the 2022’s. McD does not throw money around anymore and does not have the recruits they used too. Team is top heavy this year, what will happen next few years?

I would say the 21 class was his last group. The 22 class is when the purse strings from administration were cut. 98% of that 22 class has been there since lower school years.

Winning every game is nice but in the end - Who cares? Great school with long term benefits and the girls get to play a high level lacrosse schedule that rivals anyone else's schedule. McD will always be a draw because it's still one of the top, if not the top, school in the area academically.

Let’s be honest- most parents with kids who go to private in 9th grade really only choose the school for the preferred sport

So if 20 of the varsity players and 10 jv who ride the pines at a school like NDP chose mercy or RPCS or Bryan Mawr instead they could have meaningful high school lax experiences. But instead they sit the bench for their school teams and watch the same 18 girls play year after year.

It never ceases to amaze me

But hey …, they can say they went to NDP right ???

Most definitely a factor, but not the deciding factor. Can not be when there is a chance of burnout, loss of interest in a sport or any other reason. the education has to stand alone or it's a bad decision to rely on playing time as the main reason.

I have a 7th grader and to be honest, you don’t envision them sitting most of their career, you assume they get on the field. By the time writing is on the wall, kid may be socially or academically comfortable so you plow forward I would imagine.

Many players on the sidelines at MCD, NDP and SPSG still play in college (or choose not to for whatever reason) which tells you how talented these teams are compared to the rest of the league.

I’m a bit confused why we’re putting SPSG in the sesame conversation as McD and NDP. These are storied programs that have been producing quality D1 players for decades. SPSG usually around a 500 team for the last 20 years and has won one championship shouldn’t to be compared to what other programs have done certainly not McD. Even if they win again this year which they may the history isn’t there.

Dude I have gone onto D1 and D3 with my kids. Some clubs and schools are great at getting their kids recruited. Period.
Just look at how recruiting went for the girls this year.
Almost all of the players on CT Grizzlies went before many other teams. The second string on CTG went before the first team of MDBlack. All on word of mouth over talent.
There’s plenty of room for good players but don’t act like bench warmers on SPSG, NDP and McD are more talented than others.

they were comparing the bench players the rest of the league not the CT Grizzlies. No one really cares how many CT Grizzlies got recruited and before who.

In the last 20 years SPSG and NDP have the same number of championships(3). Educate yourself.

Umm everyone knows that but they’ve produced 10x the number of Division I lacrosse players. Off the top my head I can’t think of one lacrosse player from SPSG that’s played a significant role in college.

Aren't they getting the top 2026 goalie, its not like they are giving up on lacrosse.

Does TC recruit as hard as CR or is that she has less to provide?

Depends on when you live. Severn would be a top academic school that rivals McDonough and BrynMawr. StMary’s would fit in the NDP/Maryvale column with Spaulding being on the lower end with Garrison, RPCS and SPSG. Look where the non-athletes attend college would give a good picture of the academics at the schools your considering

If you take out athletics, Bryn Mawr stands alone. However, it is very academically rigorous and your child is competing with the other students at Bryn Mawr for 1 spot, max, at the top schools. It may make more sense to be a big fish in a small pond at a less academically rigorous school. The top colleges are getting thousands of applications and the weight that a Bryn Mawr once carried is no longer there. I disagree on McDonogh. Back out athletics, compare only female to female, and back out the "pretty" schools on the matriculation list that only the affluent can afford, and McDonogh falls into the rest of the pack.

And TC has pretty drastically limited her roster size for varsity at McD which, in turn, limits both JV and FS team rosters. So for all of the people who complain about large varsity rosters at schools like NDP, just know that a large varsity roster keeps more girls in the lacrosse program (all 3 teams). A limit for varsity means that girls will be cut at the bottom. There are some girls who will never make their high school varsity team at McD. This would also deter me from sending my daughter there.

The most useful answer to this question would not likely come from a parent, but from a consensus of college admissions counselors. I have talked with quite a few and will try to summarize what I have heard.

Baltimore is a bubble when it comes to Independent Schools, much like Boston and in some ways NYC. There are many to choose from, and locals will ask you where you went to school and they usually mean high school, not college. It is strange, and unlike anywhere else I have lived. When we started a family here (and neither of us is from here) we were told by many of our friends that we just have to send our kids to (name that school) because it is the place to go. It is other-worldly for those not from here.

Each of the Baltimore area private schools has a particular reputation. Some are known for strong academics, some for being more welcoming to kids who have unique interests or talents. Some local parents are set on their kids going to a certain school because of the name/cachet that comes with having a certain reputation for academics or athletics. Gee...kind of like youth lacrosse teams.

I would offer that the most important factor in the decision - by far - is fit. How well does the child fit the school? What does it feel like for the student on visit and shadow days? Who are the other kids you know from that school and what would you say are their defining characteristics? Is your child a pretty good athlete but also likes the arts? Or perhaps a gifted scholar who wants to play some sports or act in a play?

Obviously, academics are important. Each of the many private schools in Baltimore offers a quality academic experience. Around town, Gilman and Bryn Mawr seem to be the top schools for academics in most peoples' opinions. I would argue that there are a few others that are just as challenging, and the college admissions people I have talked to have validated that opinion.

Think about the characteristics of the students/families who choose to attend the school, and the characteristics of the graduates. Some schools are known for graduating students who are highly qualified academically while perhaps lacking in other areas. Others focus more on producing the well-rounded student who perhaps hasn't taken all AP classes but has done an internship or been an exchange student as well as played on several sports teams.

Some folks on this forum have disparaged the academic quality of some really good local schools. They do not speak from experience nor do they have any idea what they are talking about. Please do your research. Talk to people at the school. Talk to people who looked at the school you think is a good fit and chose another - ask them why. You can even ask for help from a consultant (this is, after all, a huge investment of time and money). There are some really knowledgeable ones in the area who help families and students decide which school is the best fit.

I offer these comments with the sincere hope that you take these ideas into consideration as you make your decision. Best of luck!

When my daughter was looking at high schools - a popular Instagram account started popping up at high schools "School ABC Class of 2022" for college selections.
It's a great way to see where the schools are sending their graduates onto college and university.
Also, very easy to tell what high schools are more academically rigorous and how hard it is to get into your first choice these days.
A popular girls school had every other girl going to UMD College Park the year we were looking. Not really any Michigans or many schools out of state, The girls played it like Baltimore does, and stayed local! Kinda of a let down.

The IAAM league started in 2000. MCD’s impressive Championship run in lacrosse started in 2009 and ended 9 years later in 2018. MCD lost to NDP in 2018, won in OT over SPSG in 2019, no season in 2020 and lost to SPSG in 2021. I think people are taking about NDP, MCD and SPSG because these 3 schools have battled for the Championship the past 5 years including this season.

Are people really questioning why SPSG is part of the IAAM lacrosse discussion along with McD and NDP? SPSG just won the last championship. Is the expectation that they will not be competitive this season?

Incorrect. Bryn Mawr’s strength is its excellent college placements. Last year, they had girls going to nearly every Ivy and two to MIT and Harvard. You don’t have to take my word for it, college placement info is on their website.

This is great advice! Not only for researching future high schools but also future colleges, whether playing college lacrosse or not. My youngest child is a senior and all of my kids have chosen to attend different high schools and different colleges. Some played college lacrosse and some decided to skip that experience although they had the opportunity. However, all of my kids have chosen the high school and college that was the right overall fit for them. I’m most proud of my high school senior who didn’t get caught up in the Baltimore “I need to play for a D1 program” but instead chose a D2 program that was the best overall fit for her (& yes she did receive D1 offers). She learned by observing her older siblings and their friends over the years. I’ve seen so many local kids and parents over the years fall for the peer pressure/ego motivation only to transfer mid-college years or stay but quit playing lacrosse altogether. Your kid is more likely to love their college experience (& continue to play lacrosse) if they and their parents do the research noted below on the front end. Isn’t your child’s long term success and happiness worth a lot more than your short term bragging rights? Sadly, most parents lose sight of this…

Most IAAM schools who are competitive and winning are handing out financial aid. SPSG got really good when top lacrosse players were “earning” these scholarships. McD was the same. They were the conference bottom dweller and all of the sudden got top players to go there. And to be honest, most parents don’t care about the education, fit of school or who the coach is as long as they can tell their friends that they got a scholarship. They go to where they pay the least. Plain and simple.

You have no idea what you’re sliding about. SPSG started to change when MG took over. Girls from her M&D 2021 team decided to go there to play for her. Only one girl per year at the school gets a free scholarship and it’s not always a lacrosse player. MG has built the program on hard work. Not by throwing money at girls.

a

Correct Mcd has more than enough depth the next couple years to compete for a title. It’s not how may girls you have on the sideline. It’s about putting the best 12 on the field and McD has more than enough the next 2 years. 3 years from now is too far out as who knows where the girls from the 26,27 and 28 class will go. My guess is that they compete for the title the next 3 years and win 2.

They didn’t say they were giving away free scholarships, but if there is a girl MG wants at SPSG you can bet that girl is offered a generous financial aid package.

I agree with the previous poster - you are without a clue as to financial aid policy at SPSG. And the post before that - "most parents' don't care" is the most uninformed and frankly notIntelligent comment I have seen on here in a while. I have talked with literally dozens of families about their decision as to which school is best for their kids. Yes, money is a factor for many. To say they "don't care" is just ridiculous.

Some strong players who are also strong academic students receive offers which include modest merit-based aid, but nobody - really, nobody - gets money just to play sports. One girl at SPSG receives a full tuition scholarship each year - and it is a competitive essay competition, not a lacrosse tryout.

I know of cases in which SP or SPSG offered modest merit aid to a student from a family with capacity to pay full tuition (read: wealth) and the schools were told, "you have to do better - such and such school offered us a free ride."

You have no idea what you’re sliding about. SPSG started to change when MG took over. Girls from her M&D 2021 team decided to go there to play for her. Only one girl per year at the school gets a free scholarship and it’s not always a lacrosse player. MG has built the program on hard work. Not by throwing money at girls.

They didn’t say they were giving away free scholarships, but if there is a girl MG wants at SPSG you can bet that girl is offered a generous financial aid package.

I agree with the previous poster - you are without a clue as to financial aid policy at SPSG. And the post before that - "most parents' don't care" is the most uninformed and frankly notIntelligent comment I have seen on here in a while.

i know exactly how the financial aid policy works at SPSG, we went through it. MG wanted my daughter and we were offered a very generous package. In the end we choose a different school for a better fit due to logistics.

SPSG and SP offer generous needs based financial aide to eligible students as do all the private high schools (some more than others).

Agreed. McD offers need based packages but does not offer merit based aid. They also say they do not offer athletic scholarships.

They are not allowed to offer athletic scholarships. The athletic scholarships are called financial aid.

Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
SO GCS rise is due to giving out money but SPSG rise is because of MG who coached at multiple other conference schools without ever coming close to winning anything? SPSG has finished in the top 5 regular season teams 1 time. That was last year. Keep telling yourself that SPSG rise has nothing to due with the fact that most of those scholarships have gone to lacrosse players.

Was 10-8 SPSG before subs went in and a 14-8 final. SPSG just deeper than GC but starters about even and was a fun matchup; great preseason prep for both. GC Replacing 10 starters including 3 D1 goalies.

Was 8-3 at half with SPSG subbing liberally starting 15 minutes into the game. 27 girls played for SPSG.

If you don't think kids have started going to SPSG because of MG I don't know what to tell you. You're completely wrong. She puts a ton of work into training girls and building relationships with them and their families starting from a very young age. Several of her M&D 2021 players decided to come play at SPSG because of her, not because they were given a bunch of money. That was the beginning of building the program as those girls were seniors last year when they won the championship. They made the IAAM semis her second year and finals her third year with a very young team. If 2020 wasn't canceled they would have been one of the top teams in the conference that year as well. Not sure what your issue with MG is but you're way off base.

Definitely their only shot with everyone knowing that their two top players are not coming back for their senior years. Wound surprised if a couple more follow suit.

Based on historical factors, as all pre-season rankings are, from HS sports to the NFL. Once the season starts, current info is used to inform the rankings.

Had the list put McDonogh at #1, you would have said "thanks McD parent."

Brilliant.

Applying for need based financial aide requires submitting tax returns etc.....to prove a family is eligible for aide. A talented goalie who has wealthy parents would not qualify for financial aide. And, the private schools are offering financial aide to many non- athletes as well.

I know of several very well of athletes that get need based scholarships. There’s nobody from the iaam/miaa policing this. Been happening for years and isn’t go to stop anytime soon. The school that don’t are usually at the bottom on the league.

Whether or not the are "well off" in your eyes or not does not mean they don't qualify for need based scholarships. If they have multiple kids in private school and/or college most families that send kids to the high cost schools get some need based aid. The cutoff income is pretty high to not qualify for aid at those schools.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
The higher the family net wealth the lower the aide and in some cases only nominal aide is available or none at all. Agree, all privates offer financial aide to families of athletes and non-athletes.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
In the MIAA, need-based financial aid is "endorsed" but not required - schools that provide financial aid for reasons other than need simply need to report aid given:

"e) The Association endorses only need-based financial aid and recommends that assistance to students be granted only on the basis of demonstrated financial need. Any member school that awards financial assistance not based upon determined need to students who participate in Association contest is required annually to submit a disclosure statement of such assistance, detailing both the number of grants and the amount of aid granted, to the Executive Director for inclusion in the Annual Report of the Association."

Prior to the implementation of the above rule, there was a strict prohibition on aid solely for athletics. I'm fairly certain that Poggi led that charge to change the rules towards the end of his time at Gilman or when he started at SFA.

We aren't talking about the MIAA. This is the Girl's High School thread. I'd have no argument with you about the boy's schools skirting the rules on aid. This discussion is around the girl's schools and this kind of stuff just doesn't happen there. Contrary to popular belief.

Exactly. I think most people's definition of "wealthy" and what the income limit is to receive aid from a school like McD and SPSG aren't even close. Especially if you throw in that many families have multiple children in private school and college the income threshold to not receive significant aid is well above $200k.

McD paid $6.5 million in need based aide for the 2020-2021 academic year per their website. I would leave SPSG out of the discussion because McD is in a league of their own in terms of need based aide to students. One can only assume most of the McD aide is allocated for athletes because of their dominance in IAAM sports such as soccer, basketball and lacrosse. McD values Championships - so this is what they do..

Definitely their only shot with everyone knowing that their two top players are not coming back for their senior years. Wound surprised if a couple more follow suit.
Your twins are not their two top players.

I hope every parent on this forum reads the story of Katie Meyer from Stanford.
Please keep in touch with your child. Sports should be fun.
At the end of the day we all have to get a job, pay the bills, support a family, and live life to the fullest.
Don’t make your children live the life you couldn’t… make it about them

Define "wealthy"?

Plus, you gotta lay it all out on the line for the Finance/Admissions departments to all see.
There's a catholic school in Baltimore who hired an alum to work in admissions and that was the year everyone went over to the other school bc "The Mouth Of Towson" now had access to their financials. You would think the school would know better? Bad move.

I don't see SPSG finishing undefeated. To many strong teams at the top of the IAAM. MCD, GCS, NDP. Plus they lost a ton of talent at the top of the roster thru graduation. They have girls filling in those spots that are good, but you can't replace what they lost.

This person is just being ridiculous.

As the parent of a middle school child, I have similar curiosities. It's helpful to know things like whether the coach is someone who runs all the offense through the same 1 or 2 players or if only 1 goalie gets playing time (if your child is a goalie) - stop acting like it's not. And I don't need the lecture about how academics and fit are most important, I'm well aware that lacrosse is only part of the equation.

Exactly, its called doing your due diligence. Nothing to do with Playing Time or "showing up", this person must be fun in social settings. LOL.

BTW, I know a few newspapers will do "stat leaders" throughout the season, granted it mixes in public and private schools so hard to judge.

GCS and Glenelg are both really strong this year. Probably was a fun game to watch. GCS has a shot a IAAM and GHS will definitely be favorites to win 2A Championship. They probably should have won it last year as well. Not sure how good Hereford or Century will be this year. IMO, Glenelg is one of the few public schools that could hang with some of the privates.

For public schools, they simply take the total number of schools that field girls lacrosse teams and divide them into 4 categories evenly (4A, 3A, 2A, 1A) based solely on the schools enrollment. 25% of schools are 4A, 25% are 3A, 25% 2A and 25% 1A. This is done every 2-3 years and schools stay in their category for that time period..

This is only McD's 2nd game and they looked a little sloppy. Not sure that is enough to make up for the 10 goal difference between SPSG and SR. I guess we will see what happens on 4/11.

McDonogh has had several scrimmages and 2 games. They practice six days a week. So it is troubling that they won by only one point while St. Paul’s beat them by 10. Looks like a tougher season for McD than some thought…….

Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
Dulaney not only can't recruit, they have the worst grass/dirt fields in the region and a crumbling building which are active deterrents to athletes wanting to go there. In spite of that they still put up consistently strong teams. That said, this year they seem very young with 6 or 7 Freshman on a roster that doesn't look to have more than 20 players on it. It may bode well for the future, but it will be tough for them to compete with the "privates" this year.

Wrong. They had 1 scrimmage against gc and SR was their first game. No excuses on the score but at least know what you are talking about. And not sure where you heard they practice 6 days a week. They only practiced 3x the week of SR. But again no excuses. Just stating facts. Guess we will find out how good they are tomorrow.

Exactly. In the original rankings they had GHS and not GCS but the write up talked about players from both teams. They don't even seem to realize GHS and GCS are separate schools. Pretty embarrassing for the publication of the sports governing body, which is based in Baltimore, makes these mistakes constantly.

Our gcs parents were in typical form- I’m a parent of a younger kid but I was embarrassed at the way our parents and girls acted. Bad reffing but no reason ever to act that way. Seems to be the norm.

When you play in AA county you have to expect the worst from the refs. Now 7 cards is crazy, but it is what it is down there.

GCS parents and players had every right to be mad about the referee’s in this game. 6 yellow cards on GCS but not one on AS. The ref’s were an embarrassment. Hopefully they never ref another game in any IAAM conference game. Are we supposed to sit by and not voice our displeasure in this fiasco? The GCS girls fought hard to the very end even though they played 1, 2 and 3 players down from the last 5 minutes of the 1st half until the end. GCS managed to get with in 1 goal while playing 2 players down, but the refs took care of that with another phantom yellow. 2 of 6 yellows were warranted but the other 4 were complete BS. I’m pretty sure any schools parents would have also reacted to the same way. Maybe you should transfer out of GCS

refs also reset the shot clock 2X in the 2nd half for AS on missed shots...no save or pipe shot. The AS game clock operator doesn't know when to stop the clock. The clock continued to run numerous times in the 2nd half when it should have stopped along with the shot clock. the ref's never once signaled for the clock to stop when they should have or never made the clock operator put the correct time back on the game clock.

Ateam got 7 cards, or 7 cards between both teams? You can't 100% claim that that is the refs when there are that many, playing has to be a part of that

Agree…..GHS goalie was the key in GHS/NDP game. She is probably the best player on their team.

It was 6 yellow cards. GCS was playing 3 girls down at the end of the game. 2 yellows were correct calls. The other 4 were horrible calls. AS girls were committing the same type fouls but no card was issued.

Let's not forget about the stick check the ref pulled on the GCS draw girl once they started winning the draws. I have never seen a ref pull a stick check without being asked by a coach.

If a ref. is suspicious that a girls stick is illegal, shouldn’t they call a stick check? . Isn’t it their job to make sure everyone playing fair? They shouldn’t have to wait for a coach to question it! They should do a stick check at beginning of every game and of course if they are suspicious of an illegal stick! A girl could easily switch sticks on her break. A ref. Should look for illegal pockets!

We have all seen our share of bad, inconsistent refs over the years and it stinks for the players to play as if they have a hand behind their back and really tough for parents to bite their tounges(even if they/we should). Is the game online anywhere, would love to watch how bad the refs really were.

Stick check at the beginning is just for pocket depth and anything obvious. Some girls tighten and then loosen it back after, see it all of the time. The in-game stick checks are more in depth. A ref absolutely can call for a check themselves and the draw girl is the most common because they see it up close.

Games at Spalding are notorious for having a ton of cards on the visiting team. This isn't new. Been happening for years. Of course there are bad refs all over but it's a very common issue at Spalding home games.

ITs not like the refs in the IAAM are connected to that school though right? They are as likely to ref at NDP or GSC as they are Spalding. Seems illogical.

they are, but these 3 were extremely bad yesterday. Constant huddling to figure out calls, having to explain to coaches the calls, not getting shot clock resets correct, not stopping the game clock when it should have been, not having the game clock reset to the correct time. they disrupted the flow of the game the entire game.

Assignments are often geography based. If you notice, the same refs usually do games in AA County. You don't see them often up at games in Baltimore area.

Definite poor behavior by GCS parents who can’t accept the fact that their precious daughters actually lost this game. They think so little of Spalding they scheduled their senior night when they played them last year. I guess they assumed that a team based in Severn ~ not Glen Burnie ~ wouldn’t be able to beat their “higher class” girls and need someone to blame for the loss. GCS has been overrated for a couple years now. They are just the last ones to realize that fact.

hmm. GCS started playing in the A division in 2017 and has made it to the semi's each year. AS has made it to the semi's once in that same time frame. You may want to recheck your definition of overrated.

Actually, GCS hit a pipe on a 1 on 1 that would have put them up 3. Instead ball bounces to SP who rattled off 3 or 4 straight after winning draw. GCS never got the ball on O again.

My older daughter's team played GCS a few weeks ago and overall the fans were fine. (Good team with great defense FWIW)

They had some students that were screaming at our girls to "get in the weight room" and "stop flopping" but an admin came over and shut that down in second half.

GCS was up 10ish and their fans were still complaining about calls (which were bad calls) but you're are up double digits, just let it go.

GCS attacker had her lip split open with a hack in the face and there was no call. I think that is what the parents were upset about.

That play plus another in the far corner were really rough, I feared the GCS attacker might have separated her shoulder the way she landed.

That said, the GCS parents were chirping / complaining the entire game, wasn't just from that. The guys filming were even shaking their heads at the complaints.

BMS's best players are better than SPSG's best players but SPSG has more role players and that made the difference. John Webster is the best women's lacrosse coach in Baltimore and he is the reason BMS will beat/scare the better teams in the IAAM.

So what you’re saying is that if SPSG had played the way the are capable off then it would not have been a close game.

McD by 8. Just check the schools' websites. If the scores are not up on the school's websites you can also try googling for the team's/school's twitter account (you don't need twitter to see the posts.

What happened? GCS has a girl on the circle that wins every flipping draw. You cannot score without the ball. BMS will get better from this, but it was a wakeup call for our girls.

BM won draws. Draw control was not the reason you lost.

It’s because Bryn Mawr thinks they’re Harvard.

Gerstell is easily the worst! They haven’t played yet. Gerstell needs to be B next year with MDS. JC will handle them both.

Gerstell is definitely the bottom of A this year. They already lost to Mercy. They only have 2 subs on the team. They need to move down to B next year as they are not in any position to be competitive in the A conference.

Did girls leave? Didn't they have a JV team last year? How is it possible that an IAAM A team only has 14 girls on the roster?

You can always try to reapply again since your daughter couldn't get in the first time. It's okay, some schools aren't for everyone. Maybe they saw her parents and decided to reject her on that!

My daughter goes to a different school. Just don't understand the detest. Haven't noticed anything bad from SPSG parents, at least not anything different than any other school. But parents here don't seem to need an excuse to throw shade.

Wow. Snottiest statement ever. Wonder why your school has such an elitist reputation? Last I checked the president of their senior class, who got in entirely on academics, is going to Duke. Their lacrosse commits aren't too shabby either... Yale, Duke, Georgetown, Stanford, Clemson, to name a few... they seem to be doing fine over there. Not to mention some of the most amazing and successful people I know are Towson graduates. Don't be a snob, we're talking about high school lacrosse.

This entire thread screams “Baltimore”. Only in Baltimore would they think Bryn Mawr is comparable to Harvard and McD is comparable to USC. The only thing “7th generation” are the folks speaking garbage on this forum. They have NEVER left their tiny world where lacrosse is the most important thing on this earth. Y’all need to spread your wings - there are more important things happening in this world than SPSG vs McD on April 11th 😂 you all really need to get over yourselves! Not a great example for your children!

No one said anything about the players. Their parents are the issue. Have been for years. Will continue to be for years to come. That’s what entitlement breeds.

Not exactly sure what game you were watching but spsg started subbing heavily in the beginning of the second half. The entire bench played a significant amount of time and most starters only played out of position the second half if at all. As for the score, how do you tell non starters not to score when they do get in the game? They work with the opportunities they get. Would you rather them play left handed or pass the ball 5 times on offense like they are in pinkies. I personally think placating your opponent is more insulting than get routed. Most of us have suffered a crushing loss and hopefully it has just served to make us better in the future.

They had one solid red head defender who did the work of 4 and GCS offense moved too fast for one defender to cover them.

And truth is, she doesn’t really “remember” the second half.

The White Claws were flowing.

No, St. Paul by 2 or 3. The talent runs deep on their team. If one or two girls have an off day on McD, then its over.

I have always been confused on this site by the people that respond with simply saying that your response must be because you are a parent of whatever program.
For one, I hope to god that everyone on here is a parent of a program and therefore has an opinion. The other option would be people on the site with no kids just following high school girls sports which I think we can all agree is not a good thing.
Secondly, I think it is kind of obvious that this person is an spsg parent, doesn’t really take Sherlock Holmes to figure that out. I also assume that you brag about getting the Wordle correct everyday. Here is some news for you, everyone gets Wordle, you are supposed to get it just like everyone on here knew that this was an spsg parent. What’s next for your amazing deductive skills, telling me that I am an butt who has no patience for people who can’t come up with a creative response. If so, you are 3 for 3 today(assuming you did get Wordle right)

Agreed... GCS did really well on the draws. Definitely won more than 50%

NDP is not missing their "main draw/score person", not sure where that is coming from.

McDonogh looked like they have some athletes, but St. Pauls won almost every draw and looked like a deep, well oiled machine that looked like they either play together alot or practice alot. Just looked a step better.

MG can coach circles around TC 8 days a week. It's honestly a joke at this point. GCS will blow out McD as well. This season will come down to SPSG and GCS. Everyone else is playing for 3rd place.

I think at least half the goals in the McD/SA game were free po goals as well for McD! They are very good at drawing those calls.

Unfortunately, there are teams that "coach" to get the free position. Fall down, touch your head/face for a "hit", the dramatics are embarrassing to watch. SPSG plays as a whole unit, not just 1 or 2 players to count on.

It's sad that even the Baltimore Sun can't give 100% accolades where due. The story starts with the draw player from SP. Why can't they give accolades to where she is committed to? They have no problem writing about where the McD player is committed to playing and McD didn't win the game. Come on!?

Why are more people not bothered? Maybe because that kind of stuff doesn’t bother our kids, maybe they don’t need to see their name in the paper or need to pad their stats before they become a team player. For most players, I can promise you the parents care a heck of a lot more than they do. You will enjoy watching your daughter play a lot more if you’re not worried about the article that’s going to be written hours later.

Well she is the #1 recruit in the Class of ‘22. Come on!?
So no one else (well deserved) can get recognized for their accomplishment? Come on!
the SP draw girl is committed to Loyola...there, are you happy now?
It's sad that articles can only focus on one player and their accomplishment - especially since that players team lost the game. Why is it so difficult to acknowledge other players and THEIR accomplishments. WHY are more people NOT bothered by this???

Honestly, it's SAD that this really bothers you. Come on!?

Wow SPSG Mom that is pretty pathetic... get over it. Come on!?

Ouch... sour grapes much? We get it, you want your daughter mentioned in a newspaper article (plus add where she is committed to). Sheesh, SPSG (the team) played a great game, obviously that isn't enough for you. You need more "look at what sprung from my LOINS material" when you talk to your BFFs at the Valley Inn after your Pickleball Matches ! Come On !?

this was their 3rd game this week, they lost one of their draw girls for the season on Wed and they lost their starting goalie in the 2nd half last night. I think they did what a top 10 team does when they don't have their best playing...they find a way to win.

Last year she came and watched two McDonogh games while her team, which should have included her, was supposed to be quarantining!(that was a joke as they all practiced at a local park anyways- cheaters) Each player could only have two people and we even had to check in at some schools, but she came anyway! How rude and oblivious she was/is. I guess rules don't apply to her or her team.

I have no skin in the game here but love that this McDonogh parent is calling SPSG cheaters especially since McDonogh literally invented a grade called pre 1st so their boys and girls would be a year older when they play high school ball.
Also- if you call everyone cheaters who broke some kind of quarantine or Covid rule over the last 2 years, good luck being very lonely

Congrats to those who made it. It's not base on what they have done this year. These players are the best of the Under Armour Highlight teams, not neccessarily the best of the best in the country. The only way to get on the
UA senior team was to have played on the Highlight teams one of the last 2 years. These girls are very good players and probably half of them would make the team anyway, but here are players just in the Baltimore area who are better than some of the players who will make the team out of the local area but for one reason or another choose not try out for the UA Highlight teams. The same holds true for the other regions represented.

100% jealousy. This occurs every year from an envious parent. The star/ranking system is misleading across all sports. Do you know how you receive stars? By paying IL an evaluation fee. Should you pay the fee, you get a minimum of 3 stars and ranked. Most parents don’t opt to pay. My son plays and starts for a power five football team. We refused to pay for any evaluation. He made many all star teams, and was recruited by 6 of the top 10 teams in the country…he had zero stars and wasn’t ranked. Oh, and Juan Dixon and Steve Blake weren’t ranked either. Both won a national championship and both played in the NBA. Steve Blake recently retired from the NBA.

My son played in zero IL tournaments and was a 5 star top 20 recruit in lacrosse. I understand that playing in a IL tournament helps you out, but if you are good coaches and evaluators will find you and rank you accordingly.

What makes you think that the criteria is making an UA underclass team? That is very much untrue. There have been former boys/girls UA All Americans that never tried out and made this team. Sounds like your kid made a couple of the teams and now you feel slighted. You sound like an entitled spoiled kid. This team is about the entire body of work. These are some talented kids on this list. Stop with the envy and congratulate these children.

Careful. You’re going to give away your identity with your complaining. You sound just like you do on the sideline complaining to your husband about everyone on your daughter’s team except your daughter.

If you are not jealous then stop whining. Why are you so interested in the kids on this list? I will answer it for you: jealousy and envy. You have too much time on your hand when you are trolling the kids historical all star teams. Stop with this madness and get over it.

Kid on the UA team all four years, named as a top performer in a few of those years, won the last year and not even on the watch list. Who picks this stuff? Does it have to do with the HS you go to or the college you committed to? It's odd. Take that kid to start a team over any senior out there.

100%. It's a program that is relying on a specific player. No team will win that way.

My opinion-teams/coaches like mcd(even ndp)rely on a similar strategy to what worked for TC back In The day. She was a once in a generation player but they are trying to now hold their top girls to that same standard. Not fair to those girls or the team as they are simply not tc despite being very good. In addition, defenders and defenses have gotten stronger and so the idea of a girls who can penetrate and score at will against any team is simply more challenging that 10 years ago. Mcd and ndp need to adapt or pray for the next coming of tc and stop running offenses thru a single source. I also believe that the talent at mcd overall isn’t as strong as they have had in years past(hence why cr was fired). They have good players but all of the top tiers do(even some of the lower tier). They need to adapt to a faster team game and away from the single driver/flopper. I am sure people will disagree but number don’t like and mcd and ndp are 1-9 over the last 2 years against the top 2 teams in the iaam (spsg and gcs) with most losses being by 5 or more and the only win by a single goal. Sorry for the rant but traveling this week and have nothing to do at hotel bar but waste my time on back of the cage.

I have watched a lot of IAAM games this season. Most without a dog in the fight. But officiating in this conference is dreadful. You would think being the top conference in the league in a hotbed, that the officiating would be much better. Has it gotten worse in the past 3-4 years???
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
Yes, the officiating is worse. Most of the officials have never played lacrosse but take a course for the job…..Terrible
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
Well, if you both think you could do a much better job, why don't you take a course, step on the field and ref an IAAM game. Until then, be quiet, and be thankful that there are people who are willing to do it and put up with the constant chatter from the know-it-all stunads on the sidelines for the pittance I am sure they receive in return for officiating the game. It is a wonder we still have people willing to do it. They are certainly not doing it to get rich.

Sit down with the whole “if you think you can do better”. You must not be watching games. There are major issues and major injuries happening because of it. There have been calls and meetings with the league about it. If anyone thinks otherwise they are not paying attention to games.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
So propose a solution.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
I also stand by my original statement. Where are these "wonder" officials and refs you seek supposed to come from unless people with a knowledge of the game are willing to be trained as officials, give up their time on a weekday afternoon, and officiate a game for not a whole lot of money. And, often times, get to hear a lot of garbage from people with very little knowledge of the game throughout the whole experience.

I have often found that people are great about complaining about things, but when it comes time to passing around the clip board for volunteers to do something about it, there are very few takers who are willing to sign up.

The game was canceled as McD needed to use that date to play the BM game that needed to be postponed due to the unfortunate incident in the McD community. The playoffs start that week so no way to reschedule the Glenelg game

Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
I think they should call the game closer. The trend is more physical. You hear the coaches exhorting their team to play with more intensity etc. I have seen tons of crosses to the head or extended cross checks to the back that really need to be called. I would say the refs should call super tight games in the regular season and loosen up in the playoffs a bit. Direct check to the head should be red. Players would adjust to the quicker whistle and quick cards for extended cross checks. The balance between skill/ speed and "toughness" has skewed to much to favor the tough, physical, and borderline dirty play in my opinion. We do not want to become long island style lacrosse.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
Completely agree with the above post. There are way too many cross checks and dangerous checks in the sphere. Call it tight and the behavior will change.

This comment jogged my memory…. SPSG has a team IG (I’m not saying which team)that is totally obnoxious and openly mocks the opposing teams shortfalls and mistakes. It’s so aggressive for a little private school as the account holder could totally be exposed. Surprised they dont have an athletic rule against such accounts.

Always nice to see the top seed lose but I completely disagree with this comment. Our team has been crushed many times over the years by SPSG and the losing is the annoying part. The girls have songs, I think individually for each player, and sing on the sideline after goals/good plays. How dare they have fun and bond together. heck let’s eliminate cheering for their girls all together. They should be silent as to not offend the team that got scored on.

☝🏻

Losing stinks yes, but do it gracefully when you are #1. SPSG wasn’t prepared for GCS. To repeatedly say that the reason you lost was because of your injuries is not giving credit where credit is due to GCS. All teams fight injuries towards the end of the season. It’s why you have a bench. I would think the #1 team in the nation would have had theirs ready.

I completely agree with the comments about spgs fans and players- cheering has never been mean natured- only positive for their team/players. No harm in having fun- these girls need it.

Yeah calling the girls out for having fun and singing in support of their teammates is ridiculous. GCS counted to the number of goals they had after every goal, is this not allowed to? No SPSG parents were offended by the GCS girls counting 1,2,3, etc even when it got to 20. They played a great game yesterday. And to say you don't see this stuff on college sidelines is just not true either. Some of the goal celebrations on college sidelines go far above singing a song for a girl for 5 seconds.

Good Lord. They are still kids with spirit. Considering all of the awful news lately about teenagers taking their lives, let them sing. Dang.

Some of the goal celebrations on college sidelines are awesome. You never see anybody getting bent out of shape there. Not sure why people are getting bent out of shape here. GCS parent here and I thought the SPSG energy on the sideline was great. You do whatever it takes to pump your team up out on the field.

GCS was obviously the better team yesterday, they won it on the circle and played outstanding defense. But to say having our girls healthy would not have made a difference is crazy. At one point we had 4 freshman defenders on the field. That makes a huge difference.

That’s on coaching. You can’t use that as an excuse when you had other defenders on your bench, older defenders. At one point you took your best defender on the field off the girl scoring the most goals. That’s also coaching. Your coach was not prepared.

GCS is a relative newcomer to the A conference and look what they have accomplished. I don't see the same level of success once the 2022s leave, but it's been done.

FYI, gcs lost to spsg last year in the regular season by about the same margin as they won this year. Difference is spsg already won the championship last year. Maybe gcs does it this year, maybe they don’t but spsg already did their job.
Also, you really show how much of a slimeball you are when you say that YOU are a winner. The girls won, not you. They should be the ones that are proud for beating the current champs in the regular season. The only thing you should take credit for is the future counseling that your daughter will need for having a parent who can’t get out of their way and let them enjoy their win.

Bottom 4 should move down and give B conference 9 competitive teams.

Gerstell is bad and getting worse.
John Carroll awful

Gcs had a coach and school that worked to build a great team. Mercy does not have that so they won’t get to top of the A.

Oh come on. They beat the 7th beat IAAM team by 1. Doesn’t make them 2nd best team in state. They were supposed to be really good last year and underperformed. Sounds like coach AP trying to bait mcdonogh. I guess them starting the gauntlet of IAAM playoffs isn’t important.

I think GHS gave GCS all they could handle in a preseason game. I think they are in the conversation. So I would say Glenelg being the second best team in high school is not "way off base."

Glenelg HS is ranked because they blow away County public schools, most who can barely form teams from a couple of club girls. If the dads want to boast about their national ranking and how great they are, they need to play better schools to prove they are legitimate. They don’t do that. Come back and talk about how great they are once they have more respectable wins. A one goal win over NDP is all they have right now. Good luck against Century.

Sorry that Mcd had to cancel due to a student dying and making up a league game was more important than playing GHS so they can try to climb up in the rankings.

The Bryn Mawr goalie wasn't wearing thigh pads and the Spalding coaches brought that to the refs attention. BM doesn't seem to play their 2nd goalie much. I can only assume that she didn't have thigh pads on her either.

Quick question for the group: How do parents afford to have their girls attend these prestigious private schools? By no means am I poor, but I definitely cant afford 30k/year for high school. Are there special grants set aside for athletes? Very interested to see how I can get my daughter into one of these schools.

The Bryn Mawr goalie wasn't wearing thigh pads and the Spalding coaches brought that to the refs attention. BM doesn't seem to play their 2nd goalie much. I can only assume that she didn't have thigh pads on her either.

Sorry for the dense question but didn’t bryn mahr win that game? That has to be tough for a coach to call a rule violation and then still lose by a pretty wide margin when the opposing team doesn’t have a goalie for the last significant portion of the game.

At most private schools, 30-40% of the families receive some help. Our kids have been in a local private since preschool, and yes, it is a lot of money. We believe it is a smart investment in their future and are giving them opportunities we didn't have growing up.

Suggest you reach out to those schools that seem to be a fit for your child/family and inquire. Arrange a visit, take a tour, schedule a shadow day (prospective student visits and attends classes). Talk about your ability to pay, and see where the conversation goes.

It is likely financial aid has already been allocated and awarded for the coming year given that admissions season has passed, but it is worth inquiring. SOme schools still have openings and may have some aid left.

Best of luck!

Not as easy as one would think when they’re able to replace their goalie with an extra defender and the other team is already down a player due to yellow cards.

There is quite a bit of financial aid available even if you make decent money. The threshold is pretty high not to qualify for something. If you have multiple kids in private school or in college that goes into the equation too. It's different for the catholic schools but those schools aren't as expensive as McD, SPSG, Bryn Mawr, etc.

The better question would be to ask "why are parents taking their kids away from the publics and sending them to the privates?"... what should the publics do "better" to retain their kids?

I am sure Coach Walton is a good coach. But the program changed when BR got involved. They went from bottom of B before he got there to 3 straight Champ game appearances, a couple of B conf champs. If it was all Walton, why weren't they A conf level before BR got there? And how many of the current players were recruited by Coach Walton. I guess we will see what GCS does in the next few years when BR's recruits leave and its all Walton.

It is way more than the coach. Both GCS and to a lesser extent Gerstell, in order to join the IAAM, went all in with girls lacrosse in terms of recruiting, financial aid, etc. Both now appear to be rethinking that strategy and are not putting girls lacrosse in the forefront. There is nothing wrong with that, but the coaches have to play the hand they are dealt.

To the other question about Catonsville. Yes they would be elite, but so would Dulaney, Hereford, Towson, and even Loch Raven and Perry Hall, if the local kids stayed out of the IAAM. Its the nature of the beast in Maryland.

Gerstell and GCS do not belong in same category and Gerstell will never win in A. They are rethinking because they can’t get athletes to come and coaching is below average for A conference.

I agree about Gerstell, but with an even less qualified coach they were able to attract some top talent (injured top recruit Maryland, starters and key contributors at Navy, Rutgers, Loyola, and some more lower D1s). Their top player this year, a senior, is strong, but the future looks bleak. What changed?

After this amazing senior class leaves, GCS will not nearly be on the same level. BR was there through last year, why aren't the Junior and Soph classes on the same level as the Senior class? Honest question.

I really think both schools are done with the girls lacrosse arms race and will settle into the IAAM B in the next few years.

Everything is, and upon further examination based on games played during these covid times.

If we asterisk the "Covid Year" records, then we'd need to asterisk records after each of the various rules changes in recent years. For instance, 10 years ago, there were 8 players around the draw circle, in addition to the actual draw takers. Later, only 4 players on the outer circle, but others could come off the restraining lines. Now it's 4 players on the circle, but no one else can cross the 30s until possession is gained. Therefore, anyone on a draw team is going to have way more opportunity to get a draw control stat than they were before each of the rule changes. Also, do you asterisk the girls that use a special stick vs the ones who don't?

As for scoring records, the extra few games a player might have gotten because of their "Covid Year" has less to do with the records being broken than the introduction of the shot clock. Losing the ability to take material time off the clock means more offensive sets per game, which inevitably means more shots & goals. Use the 90 seconds to shoot or lose possession.

Back to bashing MCD & SPSG...

1A: Liberty
2A: Glenelg would love to see them play the IAAM champ after states
3A : Marriotts Ridge - experience+ smart use of superstar player could be enough
4A: Broadneck: easier division then 1A this year

Division ranks total
2A>3A>1A>4A

Breaking down MCD vs SPSG game today, draws and more draws, and predictable offense. SPSG was faster, better coached and simply ran a much better offense. MCD has a driving offense which tries to get setup for 8 meter and the defense for SPSG was able to make multiple stops. Team ball always wins and great defense. The coaching staff for SPSG is top notch with Gagnon at the wheel with great all American defense coach who played at Maryland on sideline as well as former USC attack coach. MCD has all time best player as coach who teaches the draw, best draw coach in the country. SPSG dominated all over the field. They will take on GCS who will dominate on the draw circle. Will be a great game to watch on Friday. Hope folks will come out.

Therefore, anyone on a draw team is going to have way more opportunity to get a draw control stat than they were before each of the rule changes. Also, do you asterisk the girls that use a special stick vs the ones who don't?

As for scoring records, the extra few games a player might have gotten because of their "Covid Year" has less to do with the records being broken than the introduction of the shot clock. Losing the ability to take material time off the clock means more offensive sets per game, which inevitably means more shots & goals. Use the 90 seconds to shoot or lose possession.

Back to bashing MCD & SPSG...
I’m taking McD in the upset over SPSG in the IAAM A semifinal

As long as one team is well coached and the other is coached by TC21 this will never happen. I'm pretty sure the McD parents are fully aware at the disadvantage they are at currently considering they haven't beaten SPSG or GCS in the last two years. I'm guessing she will quietly walk away this offseason.

McD (girls and boys) need to stop depending on the "#1" recruits. It's easy to shut it down because it's their MO. They have the talent and do not utilize it. Just because you are a great player, does not mean you are a great coach (it's been pretty obvious at this point). Will TC stay around much longer? Congrats to SP and GC, they play as a team and it's well deserved.

Really? NDP has top D1 recruits, where did they end? McD has top D1 recruits, where did they end? It's about coaching. Period. You cannot win by not playing as a team and only depending on specific players. Period.

“Best draw coach in the country?” SPSG won 11 of the first 12 draws yesterday, and dominated the draw circle both times the teams played.

She is only 26-27 years old and been coaching for 2 1/2 years. Let’s see how she does with a little more experience before we judge. Her body of work as a coach is just starting. The coaches at spg, ndp and several others in the league have 10,20 and in some cases close to 30 years more experience.

Coaching takes over when teams have equal talent. Lacrosse is about the amount of great players you have to start-UNC not losing to Gardner Webb ever but UNC -BC or UMD comes down to coaching and prep. If you can'y win at MCD that is sad.

McD has lots of talent that wasn't as prepared as the talent at SPSG.
SPSG is the better team but don't discount the student athletes at McD.
These kids all play club together, it's not a talent issue. It's a coaching issue.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
I don't think anyone is implying that McD doesn't have talent. I think it's quite the opposite. But it won't matter as long as they aren't coached to do anything but give the ball to one player and get out of the way. Defensively they have no answer for SPSG and GCS regardless of where those girls are committed to.

Whoever said defense isn’t important clearly doesn’t know that they are talking about. Spsg got a start midfielder back(2 yellows) and their starting defender(shoulder or leg I think) and moved some pieces around and really changed the entire game

A loss is a loss, and a win is a win. The only thing that matters is the final score. Who cares who wins the first half or second half. There are two halves, and the only thing that matters is the final score. The only ones that care about first half wins or second half wins are the losing team.

I think it is important to comment that both coaches for both teams are solid coaches and have a solid coaching staff. They get the game of coaching and they understand the importance of playing as a team. No one person, player and coach is more important. That is what makes these teams great. What makes a program toxic is when people forget all of that.

This is pretty accurate. GCS and McDonogh lose the most talent with GCS not having near the depth to replenish the losses from the 2022 class. McD could get better with the graduation of the 2022 class, may play more team ball. SPSG strength is in the 2023s right now.

There are too many teams in the A conference, 14 teams. The B conference has 5, which means that the number one, two and three seeds are automatically in the semis. This needs to change. The IAAM needs to move four or five A conference teams to the B conference. This will make the B conference more competitive, and also allow the A teams that moved down to play competitively. As it stands now, Mercy wins almost every year by huge margins. What true IAAM shouldn’t do is move Mercy up to the A conference. That would be a huge mistake and Mercy would not fair well.

Mercy would go winless in A. Gerstell needs to move down. They are just fodder for the other teams in A. Of the other non playoffs teams I would say MDS has not competed in a long time and should be moved down. JC and RPCS competed with teams this year but if they continue poor results than move them down top 2 B up. Top C could move to B and give them 8 teams.

I couldn’t agree more. Think they should have 8 teams in a division, 8 in b division, etc…. This would allow 2 cool things
- home and home games within Division(think old acc basketball)
- move the bottom team in a a division down to b next year and the winner of b to a division next year. (Think premiere league soccer)

I can't speak for all of the years but I can tell you in the years 2011-2015, the years my daughter played for CR at McDonogh the majority of girls that played came through the lower and middle school. He brought in about two to three girls a year from outside of middle school to the upper school entering in their ninth grade year.. The thought that the entire team was recruited is simply not true.

Stupidest thought ever. A conference with 10-12 is fine. No need for a home and home. Good teams already see search other twice a year including playoffs. Too A team enjoy playing top teams in other regions. B conference needs 8 teams and more competition so the final isn’t 19-2.

With only 5 teams in B, it's ridiculous to think of moving anyone out of B. Definitely should consider moving a couple down from A. I just don't get how A can have so many more teams than B and C. Again, 5 teams in a conference is a joke.

As it stands now, Mercy wins almost every year by huge margins. What true IAAM shouldn’t do is move Mercy up to the A conference. That would be a huge mistake and Mercy would not fair well. Look at who they lost to this year in the A conference.
I couldn’t agree more. Think they should have 8 teams in a division, 8 in b division, etc…. This would allow 2 cool things
- home and home games within Division(think old acc basketball)
- move the bottom team in a a division down to b next year and the winner of b to a division next year. (Think premiere league soccer)

Stupidest thought ever. A conference with 10-12 is fine. No need for a home and home. Good teams already see search other twice a year including playoffs. Too A team enjoy playing top teams in other regions. B conference needs 8 teams and more competition so the final isn’t 19-2.

How does this idea preclude the teams from playing outside of their regions? With 8 teams on conference it would mean 14 games(1 more than they play now) and much more competitive games for all of them. As for seeing teams in playoffs, take a look this year at spsg/gcs matchup. They each destroyed eachother once. Spsg gets the title because of the championship but sadly there was no rubber match.
I Underatand this is hypothetical but your idea to keep it as it is simply doesn’t work. Look at this years standings, literally every team only beat the ones that are ranked lower than them(with 2 total exceptions all year). Stop thinking change is bad as the current methodology is broken and simply isn’t as competitive as it should be since it is the #1 conference in the country consistently

Here’s a solution. Instead of the A conference playing each other twice. We need to move some teams to the B conference, so those B conference teams can be competitive with like teams. The A conference can then schedule more out of conference games with highly competitive public schools and private schools. The B conference will get better because of those A conference teams moving down. This may increase the B conference recruiting efforts when parents see that there are more than five teams in the B conference, and that they are competitive.

Completely disagree that it would help the recruiting effort of the teams you want relegated. You’d end up with 60 girl rosters on the 8A teams. No player that view’s themselves as a A player would go to one of the B teams. Just ask Mercy Coach how hard it is to get lax first players to even come visit.

I made the comment because it’s true. If you don’t accept it, do read it. Mercy would get dismantled by the top 13 teams. Based on this years tournament criteria, they would not make it to the tournament, because the top 10 teams go. That’s why I can make the comment. Do your homework, and it is you who shouldn’t comment!

You are the one that needs to wake up! ALL teams should have an opportunity to play in A- it is the most fair thing to do !
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
Are you delusional? Fair? Earn the right by beating a top team. You beat Gerstell this year. Who didn’t. Gerstell will probably be in B next year, with Mercy. Mercy has to earn the right to move up by playing the top teams and not the bottom ones. Ok. I hope they go to A. If Mercy is so interested in moving up, they should schedule the top five A teams next year? We know that won’t happen. Show the conference something. Oh, that’s right, they did show the conference something by losing to three of the bottom teams in 2022. Enough said.

No they shouldn’t! Play where they can compete. The people there are smart enough to know they belong in B. They might say they will request but truth is they won’t. The parents are clueless and will be calling for changes after they go 0-13 like Gerstell did. Sit back and enjoy you B conference championship.

Beating Park every other year doesn’t get Mercy to the A conference. The “Fair” thing to do is move four A teams down to B with Mercy. That will be the end of Mercy’s B championships.

You realize when there were only 4 regions, in 4A you were guaranteed a team from PG in the semis. At least MoCo schools can be semi-competitive. Although Broadneck will win states with little issue.

I am torn here, I believe that Mercy would get crushed by most if not all of the A teams and any parents who think different are off their rocker. However, if they want the team to develop, it comes down to recruiting. It is hard enough to get talent with so many private schools, I can only image how hard it is as a B team.
I still believe that they should break up a/b more equally than 13/5 but understand the frustration by mercy.
To conclude, mercy parents please stop thinking that your current team could compete because they can’t and you and they will become frustrated quickly. If your intention is for long term growth of the program then I wish you good luck in getting what you want

Mercy parents, please get advice from Gerstell parents. Several Gerstell parents asked their administration to petition to go to the B conference. They know that they cannot compete. I watched the B conference championship, our JV team can beat both of those teams. I am not trying to be funny, but that is a fact. Stay in the B conference and have fun playing and competing.

That's the toughest part. The state doesn't want to make these schools travel too much too often. In MoCo, most of the better teams (4A) end up in the same region as well. So they all knock each other out. AACo is still the cream of the crop in 4A though with Broadneck (guessing 3A as well...I'd expect Severna Park to easily take 3A).

This is an unfortunate position to take. I understand wanting to play tougher teams, but if you want to quickly destroy your program, then you should move up to the toughest conference in the country so your team can get demolished every week. Players will choose another school and you will see your program (and your school's enrollment) suffer.

Teams change, school enrollment demographics change. Schools need to be able to move between conferences, especially for the smaller-participation sports, like volleyball and golf. Some schools are powerhouses for a few years, then fade, and the teams need to be able to move to a lower conference to compete on a fairer level, then move up again.

That being said, parents lobbying for their school's team to move up usually know very little of recruiting, enrollment trends, and the challenges faced by admissions people and coaches in sustaining a quality program over multiple seasons.

Your post demonstrates a lack of understanding of how this stuff works. Is is about fairness, yes, but what you are asking for isn't fairness; it is for the IAAM to become an irresponsible steward of their constituents' programs and to turn what is a complex and pretty well organized athletic conference into a free for all.

Not gonna happen.

In my line of work and/or life in genral, you only get better by going against the best.
Maybe Mercy can move up, the nuns can throw lots of money at some new recruits. etc. The school is positioned in the city so its more central than Gerstell or Severn or JC.

They went against four A teams and lost three. That is going against what Mercy would consider the best. If your logic was correct, then they should have gone up against McD, SPSG, NDP, Maryvale, GCS, and Spalding.

I agree - playing stronger teams can help a team improve. Getting decimated is another story.

Perhaps the coaches of the B level teams can arrange a preseason scrimmage or two against some A level teams with the purpose of improving their players. I don't think most A level coaches would refuse that offer, so long as the game didn't get chippy and get players hurt.

Look at the scores of quarterfinals. Teams winning 23-0. These are not the top 8 in the state in each class.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
Mercy has scheduled those bottom tier A conference games and lost all but one to Gerstell. Mercy won’t schedule the top A teams because that wouldn’t benefit either program. McD, SPSG, GCS, BM, Spalding wouldn’t benefit either. Those top A teams are scheduling out of conference games against competitive teams like Good Counsel, St Anthony’s of NY, Stone Ridge and Georgetown Visitation.

There's no 3 player limit. The only limit is the total number of players. Some schools only have 1. Some have more obviously.

Wrong. The only guidelines are that a coach can only nominate a max of 5 players on their team. The team is limited to 1.5 times the number of starters on a team.(So for lacrosse there is a max of 18 on the team). There is no limit on number per team and typically every school does get one.

A lot of quality players on this list, but some of the selections are obviously political appointees. Most notably at GFS, SM, NDP and GCS. I guess once you get on these types or lists/teams you are on them throughout your HS career despite your performance. It obviously matters who your dad/mom are and what they do for the coaches and School.

You do realize that the players selected are voted on by the coaches within the conference.

Saw Mercy play Park in the finals. Looked like two bad JV teams. They play in slow motion and the ball seemed like it was on the ground more than in sticks. Catching, throwing, spacing was an issue for both teams. No way Mercy can play at the A level.

Don’t underestimate how hard it is to be a top player on a bad team. Face the opposing teams best player whether if that’s a attack or defensive player every possession. I believe that’s harder to do then being the 3rd best player on a top team when you getting consistently better matchups. Take the 3/4 best player on SPSG and put her on Gerstell and they still don’t win a game.

Sometimes complaining it about now will fix the process in the future. So then maybe these all conference teams will be selected based on who was the best players. If one school had 4 or 5 or 6 players on it so be it. If they are the best then then should be in it. 3/4 of the IAAM A all conference do not be long on that list.

The top A conference teams schedule out of conference quality teams. Mercy is not a quality team or competitive team. So they played in a play day. You are joking right. A play day is for everyone to play. when you brag about a play day win, that proves that you are a bad team. Trust me, McD, SP, BM, NDP, GCS are not scared of Mercy and their JV style of play. Mercy is not worth their time. Beating Mercy by 20, and using their bench players for the majority of the game, is worthless. I would suggest that Mercy schedule games with the top 6 A conference JV teams. Mercy already lost to three of the bottom A teams. Enough said about Mercy. Stop making us laugh about Mercy beating the top dogs.

Stop it. Play days don’t count and you played the bottom 4 teams losing to 3 and Gerstell doesn’t belong in A. They should actually think about C. No jv. Only 14 on varsity and kids that wanna play lax won’t go there to go 0-13 in A conference. That is the spot Mercy wants ?
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
Look Mercy mom/dad, every top 25 team in the country wants to play our top A conference teams. That is who the top A will schedule…not a JV style Mercy team. All you have to do is look at the 2022 B conference championship game. Mercy cannot beat the top teams JV teams,…no joke. Stop dreaming. No one wants to play them because there is no benefit to beat a team by 25. Plus, those teams play the top teams in the country every year…and you say they are afraid of Mercy! If they schedule public teams in the area they will schedule Century, Glenelg High, Hereford, Severna Park, Broadneck. They will not schedule Mercy because it is not competitive to the bench players, let alone the starters. Plus Mercy players will get their feelings hurt, and we don’t want to see that stuff.

And Good Counsel played their bench more than their starters that game after they just scrimmaged McDonogh and had a game that Monday. Beating Mercy in a scrimmage wasn't our #1 priority that day.

No jealousy, no envy. Can't be either when I don't have a daughter that has ever tried out. It's annoying that people think that the UA means the player is the "best". It doesn't. When girls are making teams that weren't even on a call back? How are they the "best". When girls aren't on the watchlist, but make the Senior team, how are they the "best"? I wish everyone would realize that it's become a joke and hold no weight to whether a player is good or not.

No system is perfect and someone would complain no matter what. What amazes me is that parents think that they can be objective regarding their own kids but no way that judges can.😁. I have coached for a different sport before and these all star teams are really tough. Lots of good girls and only a few looks at each during tryouts.let’s face it attackers are motivated to be selfish at these tryouts, there are so many midfielders that you are lucky to get a few runs in, and defense is darn near impossible to look good when they don’t play together regularly. Other option is to take them on their resume which would have people accusing of favorites again.
These events aren’t the end all, lots of d1 girls have never done or been selected for these events like ua

Please CSE, do the right thing and get non bias coaches. Get coaches that are from other areas of the country and will do a true evaluation. Baltimore lost last year because of bias and a lot of Redshirt selections. Now we have Gerstell selections. Looks like a pattern CSE. Wait for the losses to start mounting. CSE you know the issue now fix it.

No numbers weren’t low about normal for Highlight which is always been lower then Command historically. Some girls stop trying once they don’t make Command twice. %80 of the roster are the top players in the region. I really can’t think of a single player that’s not on the roster that would be a automatic make. As long as they don’t over play the token players should make a strong run at the chip.

Roland Park has all of that talent and they still couldn’t t pull it together this year.
Just go to show that you pick a school for academics and not sports.
I know a bunch of girls playing who choose to go to an unarmed school and none made varsity junior year. So they were like ships passing in the night with siblings going to other privates, commuting all over the beltway, driving past other great privates to not make the team and said private.
But it’s all worth it in the end, I hope?

Makes sense about the overall numbers.I can think of a few other girls that would have been stronger additions. Seems very mid heavy which is usually the case. Problem in years past that some of those mid were not strong on the defensive side of the ball. LI and Conny exposed that over and over. Wish these girls the best.

Some solid players were at the 25 tryout. Haven't seen the final rosters yet (looks like an A and B team were made for AS) so can't say for sure how good the talent ends up being (that said, I don't see any overlapping names on the UA Roster from the AS tryout - though I'm sure there could be a couple).

I know you heard she had those offers but I can assure you that she did not. She took the first offer and that was TU. Look, we played against her club team many times. She is what I described. No left and rarely shoots with her left. Always runs to her right, shoots across the goalies face, and hopes it goes in. Easy to defend. As a matter of fact we didn’t really defend her because she was a non factor. She is good at the B level. But would have been on A conference teams bench as a senior.

Amazing player for Mercy is not at the same level as the A conference level top tier teams. Two different kinds of amazing. I watched the finals the other night and I know who you are talking about, and she is definitely a bench player on the top A teams. She did a lot of standing around and waited for someone to pass her the ball so that she could shoot.

I don’t know this girl at all and refuse to talk about individual kids on this as it is inappropriate but to whoever said she had 20 d1 offers, you are ridiculous. I have seen some exaggerations in my life, including what I tell to my wife but this is up there. If she got 20+ offers that’s
-1 for every view of her highlight reel
-8 more actual offers than girls we know that signed with Maryland and North Carolina got serious looks
- 16 more offers than Charlotte north got(not sure but I read this about a year ago
- 13 more offers than Peyton manning received from colleges
- a horrible reputation if she really got 20 offers as that means she/her parents dangled a carrot in front of 20 teams simultaneously and therefore had to reject 19 schools

I can keep going if you like but please don’t think that looks on sports recruits counts as an offer otherwise most of our kids here are at 40-50

It's hilarious people act like the tryout process for AS is any different than UA. Let's be honest here. More people try out for AS because their tryouts are first and parents want their kid to make an all star team. The fact that there is one, and sometimes two, teams per grade increases those odds as opposed to only 2 teams for 4 grades at UA. The price to play for AS is absolutely ridiculous considering UA is free. If UA tryouts were before AS tryouts you really think all those kids wouldn't go to UA first? Of course they would. It has nothing to do with people being upset about how UA runs their tryouts.

None ! Go play and have a good time. Most great players on these teams will be done being evaluated for the most part. Coaches might jump in on a player but only because they didn’t see them much in summer but those girls would have offers anyway.

None ! Go play and have a good time. Most great players on these teams will be done being evaluated for the most part. Coaches might jump in on a player but only because they didn’t see them much in summer but those girls would have offers anyway.

Original poster was talking about the mostly 23s Highlight division whom are already committed. So when your asking about value it’s not about being seen by coaches it’s about playing/fun with other great players. Also the reason 23s don’t go AS cause the price makes it not worth it UA is free after tryouts. Same could be said for tournaments like IL Committed Academy. Value is playing/fun with all D1 players many whom they’ve played against since 4th grade. About playing the sport they love at a top level.

Is that why it asks if there is value being on ONE of these teams? 24 only class getting recruited here and most will be done and have their list ready , just checking it for the 10th time at these events.

I agree with what you are saying about having fun. These events can not be mistaken for good lax though. They are very good players, but very little d is played, re defending is optional most games and one iso after another.

That looks like a very chalky prediction.
1A: Liberty
2A: Glenelg would love to see them play the IAAM champ after states
3A : Marriotts Ridge - experience+ smart use of superstar player could be enough
4A: Broadneck: easier division then 1A this year

Division ranks total
2A>3A>1A>4A

Except for 2A not a bad prediction. Obviously Century would of been my second choice in 2A.

Agree, they were good predictions...Liberty was not really challenged in 1A playoffs, Glenelg vs. Century game was for state championship. Was a little surprised about MR beating SP. I think SP underperformed a bit yesterday. Assuming Broadneck rolls tonight.

Why not just worry about your own kid? Maybe those other kids enjoy the challenges and playing with different teammates and maybe just maybe, you annoy others with your complaining.

Yeah, not sure I quite understand the complaint. Theoretically speaking (I know politics are involved and girls could have a bad tryout...) the best girls are chosen for the teams so assuming these same girls keep putting in the work, they would still be the best girls. Of course that's not always going to be the case, but I understand why the same girls make the teams. And these girls want to be in front of college coaches. Isn't that the end game for many/most of these girls? To get recruited to play in college (also assuming AS will have coaches watching...)? Not sure why the girls wouldn't want to continue to try and get the exposure.

This makes no sense. Are you saying that if a kid has made UA or AS in the past they shouldn't tryout anymore? What do you mean by tryout for "everything". There's really only UA and AS and you can only play on one or the other. Sounds like sour grapes to me. Of course the same kids are going to tryout for UA and AS every year. They are trying to be seen by coaches.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
This is one of the densest comments I’ve ever read on BOTC. What do you want, once you make a all star team your not aloud to tryout the next year. Sounds like you like participation trophies and no kid left behind..

You asked for it Mercy, and no mercy will be given. Again, I watched the IAAM B championship, both teams play in slow motion and would get beat by the top six IAAM JV teams. Shame on the IAAM. Now we have to play another bad team on the schedule, instead of adding an out of conference good team.

Agree. I wish them success but I think it could be a tough year for them. Good to see new teams moving up though… I’m curious if there’s a pipeline from one of the clubs to Mercy? Thinking TLC?
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
This is not official and not happening. Someone is trying to get everyone in a Mercy conversation. Do not get upset. The IAAM will add teams to the B conference and possibly combine B/C conferences. Mercy is not moving up. Their best player graduated and would not have made the top four A teams varsity as a junior, and would have certainly sat the bench as a senior. The IAAM is smarter than this. Mercy is not moving up.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
There will not be 15 teams in the A conference folks. Someone just created a rumor. Teams will move down to B and join Mercy. When that happens, Mercy’s rule will be over in the B conference, and they will be hit with a sense of reality.

As they should!!! Gerstell, MDS and flip a coin between RPCS or JC. heck, just move all 4 non playoff teams down and in the future #10 moves to B and B Champion moves to A the following year. Some incentive to win B.

No way. Have you seen the differences in B and A play? Not even close. Can’t automatically move the the B champion up to A. Watch the B championship and then give us your assessment. I watched it. Not even close. Catching and throwing is an issue.

Why all the detest for mercy? Is there a rivalry I just don’t know about? Don’t get me wrong, I think they will get Absolutly killed by moving up but good for them to make the effort. They can’t be having fun winning all their b games by leaps and bounds. You have to start somewhere and you can’t recruit A girls for a B team.

No rivalry. Just ridiculous when you move a C team up to the A level. It's not fun for everyone.

Some A schools aren’t getting any recruits to be competitive to play A. 14 in A

10 in C
Some schools have never neared .500 in A and won’t. No B school will move to A and get the players to join a team that goes winless.

You are dreaming. Not every team deserves a chance. They lost to the bottom teams in A. That was there chance. Get over yourself. No one is afraid of anything. These A teams play the best teams in the country and back down to no one. They just don’t want to play Mercy because Mercy is that bad. The other poster was right. The A teams will schedule Mercy for Senior Days.

Threatened? You jest. The opposite. We don’t want to play another bad team. The A conference needs to be right sized. If Mercy moves up, our A conference loses credibility. The top A teams get nothing from beating a team that bad. Look at the A conference out of conference schedule. The A teams play top teams from NY, DC, Florida, Pennsylvania , Connecticut, etc…. Mercy plays Gerstell. If they had a Strength of Schedule, Mercy’s would be like 380. Mercy mom, go play 5 of the top 20 teams in the country, then come talk to us. Since you haven’t done it, you have zero credibility.

Those teams that moved up had the potential to get better. Mercy can’t catch and throw consistently. Look at the B championship game. It says it all. If Mercy moves up, they will feel that aggressive style A conference play and start seeing shadows. You think that they can’t catch and throw now, wait until they play the top seven. Wow! I am looking forward to seeing it and seeing the Mercy parents expressions and disbelief.

Please no! The only team that’s happy is ndp! That way the 30 kids at the end of the bench can play. Opening day for Mercy will be Senior day for someone else knowing they will get a win.

Why all the detest for mercy? Is there a rivalry I just don’t know about? Don’t get me wrong, I think they will get Absolutly killed by moving up but good for them to make the effort. They can’t be having fun winning all their b games by leaps and bounds. You have to start somewhere and you can’t recruit A girls for a B team.

Some A schools aren’t getting any recruits to be competitive to play A. 14 in A
5 in B
10 in C
Some schools have never neared .500 in A and won’t. No B school will move to A and get the players to join a team that goes winless.
How does one get recruited to these schools? I'm curious as my daughter will be entering the 7th grade next year.

If your family hasn't been "approached" by now you haven't been recruited !

They said she’s entering 7th - as in still in 6th - so thinking this is a bit premature.

She can still get recruited. Contact the coach and express your interest. Simple as a text or phone call. That will start the conversation. Great luck and success!

My daughter was recruited by several schools in 6th grade. Now is the time, but she can still get recruited through 9th grade. I know several kids that got recruited in 8th and 9th. Good luck!

Why are you looking forward to the multiple beat downs? Who wants to see that happen? You keep saying give them a chance. You had the chance and lost to the lowest teams in the conference. Wake up and smell the coffee. Mercy is not a good team. Some of your freshman will get frustrated and stop playing after next season, and probably start playing softball. You’ll see what we already know. Just ask the Gerstell parents. They will all tell you that it is not worth it. Gerstell parents are begging to go to B. The only fake news is that Mercy thinks that they are good. If it is true, you will be back in B after next next season.

We are trying to get rid of the bottom teams, not add another bad one. If this is true, we don’t want to hear complaints about running up the score. I can assure you that the A teams have no Mercy. No pun intended, but they will torch you. Please don’t start crying when you get torched, but I know that you will complain and start calling us bullies. I can hear it now. Like you said, get ready!

I am not the original wacko and my daughter plays for one of the “top teams”. I am confused by your comments and see you as the wacko and not her. Why would it matter if gerstall is replaced by mercy? How would this ruin the conference. Get over yourself, it’s just a game
But yes I think they will get killed in the A conference next year

Point is neither belongs competitively in A. Along with 1-2 other. Why not play where your kids can compete instead of getting brains bashed in every game? They want the A conference label to recruits but cant develop them into an average team consistently.

We don’t disagree on the outcome and what the iaam should do although I hesitant to tell people what’s best for their daughter as some kids might thrive getting kicked in the teeth. Where I disagree with you on is your venom is aimed at mercy, let them decide what is best for them. Your argument should be with the iaam and pushing for a more competitive and smaller A bracket. Leave mercy out of the argument as 1 less or additional team won’t change the landscape either way.
Also, as far as competitive league, interesting that there was literally only 2 “upsets” in all of last year(spalding beating gcs(bad reffing from what I hear) and gcs beating spsg(apparently they lost 3 defensive starters the week before). Outside of those 2 games, every single team only beat only the ones that have lesser wins than them. 85 games and just 2 upsets. So if you want a competitive league there is more broken than mercy

When NDP and BMS played what were the Standings ?
NDP and Maryvale ? Maryvale and Ndp? Spalding and BMS ? Mcdonogh upset Spalding at the time. You are using the end of year standings for your argument. Look and see how many 5 goal games were players among the top 8.

We have way too many teams in the A conference, and it needs to be right sized. The B conference has five teams, and three of those five are automatically in the semis. This is ridiculous. No teams need to move up to the A. Move four teams down to the B conference, or leave those four in A and combine the existing B/C conferences. There are several options, but one shouldn’t be adding a team to the A conference

It seems a cage has been rattled and the IAAM Moms don't want to share a table at the Valley Inn? I agree let Mercy fall on their own sword if need be, how will their program ever get a chance to grow if never given an opportunity. When did IAAM A conference become such a "Girls Club" ?
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
Mercy needs to stay in the B/C conference in order to compete. They will not be competitive in the A conference and they will not make it to the playoffs. Based on the 2022 playoff criteria, Mercy will not make it to the playoffs if they move up next year. So, if they enjoy winning and going to the playoffs, they need to stop, think and stay in the B conference. If they move up to A, the days of playoffs is over. Like someone said, they only want to move up for image and recruiting. Right now they have a good image. Going to A will do irreparable harm to their image, and cause the opposite recruiting effect. This is why Gerstell wants to go to B. They want to compete and recruit.

So not true. There are 14 teams in A. We have way too many teams. The current A teams want to play more out of conference games against the better teams. Moving 3-4 teams out will allow them to play those teams. The IAAM needs to move 3-4 teams down, and not replace them. Mercy lost to three of the bottom A teams this year. There is no justification to move them up, but there are three great justifiable reasons to keep them in B…three losses to A teams in 2022.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
I agree. Why move Mercy up when they lost to the three bottom tier teams that should move down? Doesn’t make rational or logical sense to move Mercy to A, and move the three teams down that beat them. The math doesn’t add up.

That is the issue. It won’t grow. It will have the reverse affect. When we play the bottom tier games, the stands are almost empty. Neither side wants to see a bad game. Hopefully, this is a joke and a Mercy stays in B.

Ok Mercy mom. We will hand out the tissues and calculators at the Inn. You will need both. You will see some real lacrosse and beat downs. We expect you moms to complain about running up the scores. Like we say in the A, “stop us from scoring, don’t complain”. My bad, you don’t need calculators to add up your scores. You can do it on one hand, and in some cases one finger! Say good bye to playoffs and definitely goodbye to championships. I can wait for your players to start quitting and dropping from the team. You will beg to go back to B.

Here is my thought. Mercy is one of the few catholic schools around that in comparison to other schools in northern Baltimore is somewhat affordable (17k). They are the girls version of Calvert Hall. They are also starting (at least based on basketball and soccer) to emphasize sports and if they start providing aid to lax players they could have something special. Even with aid not everyone can afford McD, STP, RPC or BM but a 5-10k package can make Mercy very attractive to a family. Especially in northern BC and Baltimore. 5k-10k at the schools mentioned still leaves the parents forking over 20K+-30k+ in tuition vs 7k-12k at Mercy. The sport of lacrosse is growing and not every player comes from a blue blood family. If Mercy builds their program the right way they could be a contender. Probably not next year, but maybe 3-4 years down the line. Make no mistake they will take their lumps next year.

They will be the next MdS. They will only win up to 4 games a year. You would think that MdS being in Catonsville would have been able to be more competitive, but they have been at the bottom of the A for a long time.

Not to mention they are competing with Howard. County schools and anyone coming from aa co would choose spalding.

Mercy is located perfectly to scoop up from Owings mills, Towson, Timonium, Perry hall and Hartford co. Not to mention the whole east side of the beltway. A lot of “ifs” but if they put the right people in place they could build a program across all sports. Look at archbishop spalding and the growth they have experienced. Mercy could do the same.

****disclaimer my daughter does not go to Mercy. Her team would probably score 20 before the half. So I have no special interest here.

That is the issue. It won’t grow. It will have the reverse affect. When we play the bottom tier games, the stands are almost empty. Neither side wants to see a bad game. Hopefully, this is a joke and a Mercy stays in B.


Here is my thought. Mercy is one of the few catholic schools around that in comparison to other schools in northern Baltimore is somewhat affordable (17k). They are the girls version of Calvert Hall. They are also starting (at least based on basketball and soccer) to emphasize sports and if they start providing aid to lax players they could have something special. Even with aid not everyone can afford McD, STP, RPC or BM but a 5-10k package can make Mercy very attractive to a family. Especially in northern BC and Baltimore. 5k-10k at the schools mentioned still leaves the parents forking over 20K+-30k+ in tuition vs 7k-12k at Mercy. The sport of lacrosse is growing and not every player comes from a blue blood family. If Mercy builds their program the right way they could be a contender. Probably not next year, but maybe 3-4 years down the line. Make no mistake they will take their lumps next year.
They will be the next MdS. They will only win up to 4 games a year. You would think that MdS being in Catonsville would have been able to be more competitive, but they have been at the bottom of the A for a long time.

Not sure how religious mercy is but the reason mds doesn’t pull in the Catonsville crew is due to the fact that they are VERY religious. Tough to market to all families when it is that extreme

Not to mention they are competing with Howard. County schools and anyone coming from aa co would choose spalding.

Mercy is located perfectly to scoop up from Owings mills, Towson, Timonium, Perry hall and Hartford co. Not to mention the whole east side of the beltway. A lot of “ifs” but if they put the right people in place they could build a program across all sports. Look at archbishop spalding and the growth they have experienced. Mercy could do the same.

****disclaimer my daughter does not go to Mercy. Her team would probably score 20 before the half. So I have no special interest here.

They won’t. They will recruit from TLC.

All the insecurity over Mercy coming to the A league is insight to how people feel their team might be beat by a team coming from B.

Complete opposite. We don’t want another bad team. We want a team that can actually catch and throw, and doesn’t play in slow motion.

I can assure you that isn’t the case for some of the schools, including ours. The bigger concern is if you can play pickle ball and handle your booze at 3 in the afternoon before games

Yet you are ok with those same bottom dwelling teams winning 1 or 2 games a year every year?

Maybe it should be like Premier League soccer and every year the bottom 2 teams move down to B and top 2 B teams move up to A.

They are afraid. Look at their schedules and see how many out of conference cupcakes they picked up. Now with Mercy they might have to drop a top team from another area. The top teams are always ready to play the best.

Are you saying that Mercy is a top team? The top A teams schedule some of the top teams in the country. Are you delirious ? Afraid of what? Mercy got beat by our bottom teams! That was with one of your better teams on the field this year…still have trouble catching and throwing. When they tried playing a top Georgetown Visitation, they were destroyed. By the way McD beat Georgetown Visitation by 10, and they played their bench for quite a few minutes. Next year will not be pretty so get ready. Nothing we can do now but sit back and enjoy watching the Mercy parents complain about their coach being out coached, and opponents running up the score.

Dont let this McDonough parent bully you all Mercy. Next year is going to be tough, very tough, but good luck to the girls
Also for the mcd parent, didn’t you all loose 4 games in a row to spsg with an average of getting beat by 8 goals. Maybe it’s time you all move to b. Maybe you can get back to winning again

That is the issue. It won’t grow. It will have the reverse affect. When we play the bottom tier games, the stands are almost empty. Neither side wants to see a bad game. Hopefully, this is a joke and a Mercy stays in B.


Here is my thought. Mercy is one of the few catholic schools around that in comparison to other schools in northern Baltimore is somewhat affordable (17k). They are the girls version of Calvert Hall. They are also starting (at least based on basketball and soccer) to emphasize sports and if they start providing aid to lax players they could have something special. Even with aid not everyone can afford McD, STP, RPC or BM but a 5-10k package can make Mercy very attractive to a family. Especially in northern BC and Baltimore. 5k-10k at the schools mentioned still leaves the parents forking over 20K+-30k+ in tuition vs 7k-12k at Mercy. The sport of lacrosse is growing and not every player comes from a blue blood family. If Mercy builds their program the right way they could be a contender. Probably not next year, but maybe 3-4 years down the line. Make no mistake they will take their lumps next year.
They will be the next MdS. They will only win up to 4 games a year. You would think that MdS being in Catonsville would have been able to be more competitive, but they have been at the bottom of the A for a long time.

Not sure how religious mercy is but the reason mds doesn’t pull in the Catonsville crew is due to the fact that they are VERY religious. Tough to market to all families when it is that extreme

Not to mention they are competing with Howard. County schools and anyone coming from aa co would choose spalding.

Mercy is located perfectly to scoop up from Owings mills, Towson, Timonium, Perry hall and Hartford co. Not to mention the whole east side of the beltway. A lot of “ifs” but if they put the right people in place they could build a program across all sports. Look at archbishop spalding and the growth they have experienced. Mercy could do the same.

Please tell the Mercy moms know that Kia’s , stretch pants , and large amounts of make up not encouraged at the valley and their husbands / boyfriends will be mad they can’t order bud in a can there.

Wrong again. I am not a McD parent. I am an informed parent and realistic one. Mercy wanted to come to the big league. Well, they will not enjoy it next year. Looking forward to seeing their heads bowed before and after the games.

Mercy parent, stop bragging about jumping to the A conference. You won’t brag this same time next year. You will be trying to get back to B. We can shut this conversation down until the spring of 2023. Let’s talk then and see how happy you are. See you in the spring of 2023. I am out!

I'm just wondering how ya'll know so much about Mercy lacrosse if they are not a concern for you A conference teams, if they are so bad, why would you bother to watch the championship game, and why all the argument for that matter. So defensive if they are not a worry. These kids do not get recruited from the high school, they get recruited from their club teams. And some kids just want to play for their high school. IAAM has the final decision, not the parents, not the players, and not the schools. Sorry that Mercy is gonna put a damper on your bougie A conference. I find it sad that the parents find the need to get drink alcohol at their children's high school lacrosse games myself.

Since you can’t follow the thread. I watched the game on YouTube after your announcement. You are in for a sad year in 2023. The days of winning and celebration are over. Get used to it mom.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
I watched it on YouTube after the announcement. I wanted to see their play. Mercy plays in slow motion and has a hard time catching, throwing, feeding is rare, defensively they are pretty get lost on cuts, and it seems like they don’t have any offensive plays other than isolations. Their heads will be spinning around defensively next year. Wait until they see the speed and tempo of the top A teams. Wow! Mercy is in for a big disappointment for the next few years. I say few years because they will go back to B.
Mercy will realize that they are way out of their league after they play the top seven A teams. Enough said so let’s wait unti the spring of 2023.

so you are concerned with Mercy’s play because ? Your concerned about their feelings ? or to see if they are a threat? Regardless Mercy deserves. chance win or lose. I say good luck to them I hope they enjoy the ride whether they win or just get better playing against A, better then the B competition has to offer. None the less no one on this feed has any say the IAAM makes that decision. Not the A conference parents.

The top seven A teams get nothing out of pummeling Mercy. You are only thinking about how Mercy gets better. The top seven A teams gain zero. I forgot, our end of the bench will play the majority of the game and may get a little better. Perhaps we will bring up the JV to play Mercy. Definitely scheduling them for senior day.

We are saying that Mercy is a B level team that we are now forced to play. Another bad team added to the A conference. Now we have five really bad teams. Mercy is just a step ahead of Gerstell. That’s what we are saying. Want to hear more? Keep asking questions because we have the answers.

Minus goalie (which McD has none at the moment) few if any freshman will play. Thier best recruit/newcomer is not a freshman and will make an immediate impact. Though SP and GC still have a lot of talent returning and are the teams to beat.

Agreed, but the question was specifically about incoming freshmen. Not how many will make varsity or how much they will play.

McD freshman goalie will play but not as strong as they'd like for you to believe.
Same with SPSG. They have a strong transfer in 2024 year but the freshman class has nothing noteworthy.
Maryvale has a good freshman class and lots of returners. Let's not forget spalding of course.

Easy tiger mom. Not sure why the snide comment, unless you are a freshman mom that got her feelings hurt with the facts. The new world of college sports and the transfer portal, players and parents will need to be aware of both incoming freshman and transfers. This is trickling down to HS as a handful of girls are in the process of transfering and can impact their teams day 1.

Maybe to learn under a quality coach, practice against quality players, develop a work ethic, earn a starting role instead of being handed one before you are ready to shine.
Or I guess you can go to a team just so you can start right away.

That's total BS. Coach was outcoached. Sometimes changes are needed. Sometimes new blood is needed to energize a team
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
It's not about equal playing time, but a team needing a fresh outlook for a group of very talented players. A team who wasn't used to their maximum capacity. A coach who didn't know how to use her bench or when to sub or call a timeout when the team started to fall apart. A team afraid to make a mistake in practice or on the field for fear of what might happen. The reliance of a couple key players to do all the work. No substitutions on the defense and no "plays" for the offense but left it up to the players to "figure it out" on the field. A coach who never said "I, as a coach, could have done better in that game" to the team but walked away from them and said the players "fell to their own mistakes". A head coach who allowed one of her assistant coaches to tell the bench not to cheer for the team and to shut up when they did cheer. Only the coach and the AD know why the coach was fired. There are always two sides to a story.

Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
The watchlist is created by CSE mostly based on who played in UA Underclass. Not everyone tries out for UA Underclass so there are going to be some people missing. The UAAA Senior Team is selected by Inside Lacrosse with the help of college coaches. The watchlist is just a way to generate views for CSE and more importantly to try to get kids to tryout for UA Underclass and not American Select.

If they are the ones holding the event & putting out this huge watchlist it seems like it should mean that’s where the final pick would come from…but that’s just my opinion. If the best of the best are to have been chosen & played for UA, why would they have to look outside of UA watchlist?

Because the best of the best were not on the watchlist. There are 2 girls on the South that didn’t participate in the UA underclass, but they are 2 of the best at their positions.

Not bitter at all. The South team showed on a national stage what those of us have witnessed for years in club & IAAM - lack of teamwork/selfish play, sloppy stick work, flopping in the 8m for FPS goals, inept defense and inconsistent goal tending. And as expected, this resulted in a loss. If the truly deserving senior players were chosen, the score differential wouldn’t have been so great. But politics prevailed as is usually the case in Maryland and these same girls will continue to think that they are indeed the best players in their class. Will be interesting to see how this translates for them in college.

The negativity towards the South team is not because they lost, it’s because of how a majority of them got there. Make it a fair process and win or lose congratulations to them for the experience. Make it about who you know and the calls that can be made, you take the validity of the entire team away, even from the ones who are deserving. This event, especially on the girls side, is no longer an event of merit. It became a popularity contest when CSE took over and most are over it. Good luck to all of them in college.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
do you have proof phone calls were made? and what players shouldn't have been on the team and what players who were left off or not selected would have made the team better? I do not expect you to actually reply with facts since that would get in the way of your narrative of politics playing a roll in the selection process. The Selection process for the North team was the same as the South. It was made by both Corrigan and Inside Lacrosse. Do you think the that they only selected selfish player for the South and team players for the North. You sound foolish when you make statements one team was selfish and one team was not. Look at the stats on the draws and turnovers..that was where the game was lost.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
I am just glad these girls are off to college and these posts can now be published on those still in high school. College coaches do not care about any of this. They recruited the players they wanted for one reason or another and we can all sit back and see what happens. Parents who have been architecting their daughter's career thus far wont be able to do it anymore. Parents who are pissed off that certain players get picked for teams and that their daughter always get overlooked because of politics, daddy ball, etc. can sit back and watch to see if this happens at the next level or not. It is 100% up to your daughter now. Some will flourish and others will not. Some will play right away, others will have to wait their turn, learn and play later. Some will never see the field.

Are you arguing with Corrigan, IL, or D1 college coaches???? I do agree with the comment about the sticks…the girls had a difficult time with them as well as the smaller, textured ball that was introduced at game time (not at practice).

The interest in the job has been significant. One surprising candidate was previously employed at the school. Sounds like a good problem to have.

While we are talking about GCS... Heard that they picked up additional quality players. 1 junior and 1 sophomore - 1 should push for major minutes right away. The other is a solid player.

Anyone know what happened to HoCo? I heard that there is no longer a 24 team. Bad timing for the girls who want to play in college.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
The Hoco 24 coach ruined it by promising all a great lax experience and then one of the best on the team missed too much time playing field hockey. They were a top team 3 years ago and slowly watched their best girls move to lax first teams. Shame she did that to others. Other age groups are scared and some of their top at other age groups are looking or leaving too.

I feel that there is more value in this than UA and AS.The coaching is superior is many cases.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
Multi sport athletes are great, but a lot of times as kids get older, it’s hard for them to play multiple sports, especially at the club level. I know that HoCo A team had club field hockey players on it. I know from experience with my oldest daughter, field hockey is becoming as demanding as soccer. USA field hockey holds several national events. Unlike US lax nationals, which are a joke, USA field hockey’s national events a big deal in the hockey world.

That A team used to be a really good team. Not sure why they couldn't combine the A and B team. Such bad timing for the girls wanting to play at the next level.

They were really good 4 years ago. They are really weak. Kw and heard black and pink did combine. Just not at Hoco any longer.

Something to remember as the 24’s start the recruiting/commitment process—- please keeps your opinion of colleges to yourself. Most parents know to keep their daughters recruiting to themselves but please remember keep your opinions to yourself. The school you say isn’t academic enough, isn’t good enough, isn’t in a good enough area etc may be another person’s only option. If a kid/parents says they want X university please don’t say what about Maryland or Clemson or navy. Just say “oh that’s great”!!!! So many things go in to choosing a school so don’t make people feel bad about their choices/options. Please keep quiet

Question, my daughter is a pretty good lacrosse player and is currently in middle school. Most of her team is moving to private schools, all of the typical powerhouses, in anticipation of high school. During the transition, a couple of parents said that the schools pursued their kids for lacrosse. One added that they were already getting some money for their last year in middle school.

That being said, these kids are good but by no means the standouts on their team. So my question, are hs coaches really pursuing ms players, or is it more likely parents reach out and let them know they're interested? And how frequently is money actually doled out for girls lacrosse?

Want to understand the landscape for next year. Also, how early do you need to apply?

HS coaches can ask where ms kids are thinking of going to HS and ask them to shadow their school. there is no lacrosse money or any athletic money given to MS or HS kids. this is against IAAM rules. They may be getting financial aid or maybe academic scholarships. Parents reach out to the schools to set up shadow days and then say how their kid is getting recruited by some coach. best thing to do is to reach out to the coach of any private school you are interested in and let them know your kid will be shadowing.

Schools do offer scholar athlete scholarships as well as many other scholarships for potential students. An example from John Carroll: The Rev. Charles K. Riepe Scholar Athlete Scholarship provides several scholarships each year to incoming freshmen, supplemental to the regular tuition assistance grants made by the school, to deserving scholar athletes. I would assume other schools have similar scholarships available to potential "recruits".
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
At what point do these potential scholarships get offered/discussed? Is it before Fall of 8th grade or during? Before or after shadow days?
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
Attend athlete nights or open house.

Shadow

Apply

Scholarships are given st the time of financial aid award in the spring.

If you are being considered for a scholarship above financial aid, the coach will reach out to you in the fall/winter before the application deadline.

She needs to play in a more competitive environment to stay sharp and ready for college. Even though she is coaches daughter she needs better real-time playing. I doubt she was getting that playing in the high school league in Chapel Hill.

They usually work directly with your club coach/director, but in my experience, certain clubs have relationships with certain club teams.

Some coaches will go to a practice or game for sure.

If you are in 7th grade, wouldn't hurt to reach out to the coach via email as well and express interest and ask about any clinics, open houses.

Yes, the coaches attend MS tournaments. This relies on them finding your son/daughter in a large group of kids. There is a better way, if you are considering sending your child to a private school.

Best way to get on their radar is to reach out to them via the admissions office at your choice(s) of schools. You can tell admissions (and the coach) about your child, what you are looking for in a school, and set up a visit day. Expect to talk about your family, your work, the cost of the school and whether you will be applying for financial aid (all schools give it, and the average % of the student body receiving some level of help is around 40% at most schools).

Following the visit (one or two hours) you can book a shadow day, which allows your child to attend a full day of classes with the class he/she would be joining. You can arrange for a meeting with the coach during that day - for your child, not for you. If you are looking at Upper Schools, the coaches will expect your child to be able to articulate why he or she wants to attend the school, goals, aspirations, GPA, athletics, arts, hobbies, etc.

Good luck. It is a major investment in your child's future, and I highly recommend at least having a look at the local private schools. Our experience has been wonderful (two kids, M/F, both in HS now, started in preschool at local private).

Don't have to be "recruited" to make an impact. There may only be 2 freshman at McD who recruited to come to McD, but they have well over 7 high level 2026 players at McD. They will be fine.

Same thing will happen with the 26s at MCD, that happened to the 25s at MCD. They will play sparingly, maybe 5 mins each game. Taylor comes from the Cathy Reese school of substitutions. Rarely any changes, except in blowouts in the 4th quarter.

Only one of the 25’s played a few more minutes than the rest. They are all mostly middies and with the new Junior coming in, that me be limited even more. Who will be the draw person as their starter graduated. Only other draw girl played a few minutes here and there as well…..

McDonogh is just another IAAM program now. The days of the best of the best playing for them are long gone. SPSG is the team of the new decade. I suspect Maryvale will be the new Cinderella team now that GCS is finished.

Being indifferent to 90% of the team would be a step up. Again before anyone goes to the team speak to graduated players for an honest assessment of the program. Current players are concerned about her influence with college coaches. Many of them were her teammates on US and professional teams.

The only 9th grade player from Heros Green at SPSG plays defense. The defense at SPSG should be solid for years to come with her and 2 defenders from M&D Black. A more productive way of asking the question, without singling anyone out, would be to ask how many 9th graders at each school play for Heros Green, M&D Black or SW Blue. That would be a good indicator. There are other factors on top of that, like a top player from Integrity or NEMS, in the mix as well. And if a program recently changed staff and a school allowing that staff to recruit harder than in the past (Maryvale).

And if a program recently changed staff and a school allowing that staff to recruit harder than in the past (Maryvale).

May not be perfect but based on the public club rosters:

Total HG/SWB/MNDB freshmen at each school-
McD: 9
Maryvale: 5
Severn: 5
SPSG: 4
NDP: 4
RPCS: 3
GCS: 2
Spalding: 2
St. Mary's: 2
BMS: 1

Didn't bother counting for JC, GFS, Gerstell, MdS or Mercy. JC could be the outlier of that group with a couple SWB players and probably some from NEMS too.

It would be silly to form an opinion solely on this statistic but the question was asked. If you had to guess who will be trending down in the next few years based on this limited information, you can bet on BMS, GCS and Spalding. Holding or trending up should be McD, SPSG, Maryvale and Severn. NDP and RPCS are more likely to trend down since they have no freshmen from HG or MNDB.

To be fair, there are no other returning varsity level goalies returning. If the incoming freshman is remotely half decent, she will start this year.

They probably had about 100 girls come out today so I guess there are worse ways to go about things.

I heard the turnout was 65-75. Still a great turnout. They have an uphill battle competing against SPGS and McD.

McDonough lost a lot of talent didn't they? Maryvale really hitting the club teams to get talent, obviously Hero's connection there.

Over 140. Had 8 groups of 20 there. Pretty smart of them. Spsg hits the club teams. Mcdonogh has the best reputation for lax. What are the other IAam schools doing?

SPSG has talent from each year. McD cannot say the same. Lost 16 seniors last year and have three or four really good girls left. Cannot win games with and handful, need a team.

I think having NGLL games at these schools is the best exposure they can get. Def would have never seen their campuses if not NGLL.

I’m still trying to figure out what getting “recruited” by HS means exactly. My kid is not yet in HS, do schools actually offer $$ to go? Paying full price at some might as well be college

Yes. High school coaches attend club games and recruit middle school players. Yes money is offered towards tuition, but some schools will only offer money if you have filled out financial aid forms(need based athletic money).

Depends on relationship between coaches. And a lot of prospective players reach out to the high school coach first, especially if interested and may need financial help so they can figure things out earlier.

Maryvale will pick up the girls who won't get much playing time at SPSG and can't even get into McD.

Niche relies way too heavily on user-reported and school-reported data to be of value as anything other than a sort-of master list of private schools. Over 60% of their weighting is based on self-reported data, and another 17% is based on data that only some of the private schools share. I would consider the rankings unreliable.

The ratings can be (and are) gamed to push a school upward by the staff/parents (or downward by competitors).

If you are considering a private school for your child, my advice (as a private school parent and board member) is to focus on finding the best fit for your child and family, paying particular attention to the year group (graduation class year) your child will join. Experiences vary greatly within schools due to having a good (or not so good) year group. Our family is fortunate to have good experiences with this, but some friends with kids in other grades at our school are not as happy with how things are going.

Best of luck!

Very funny and probably true. That is why they brought a college coach to help with recruiting.

People on this board aren’t picking by academic ranking. They are picking by lax ranking. Where there kids can go and play quality sports with coaches that help get them to next level.

This isnt about recruiting for college. This is talk about what lax school to join to win more games.

Will the coaches attend the NGLL games to watch and find potential recruits or only watch the games when players' parents have reached out to them?
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
Coaches will come to NGLL games for sure. Based on what I see, its very regional based, which makes sense. The John Carroll coach looks at NEMS kids more, etc.The St Marys coach looks at MDU, etc. SPSG and with Maryvale being attached to Hero's, they scout and recruit those kids.


Obviously the coaches can help get a lax kid into the school, but do they actually have ability to help with costs, if household income is the same?

Sure hope the new John Carrol coach tries to lure back all the middle School talent that play for teams other than NEMS. Their middle school teams are struggling to retain talent and are B caliber at this point. Unfortunately, not sure this will happen as I believe she is still associated with the NEMS program​ as Director of Marketing & Communications!

Inquire on a schools website. They will be able to answer better than here. Lots of Balt area privates look at the top 3 in the area and now into Coppermine. If a coach knows you are interested they will def come watch regardless of club.

Lots of Harford County middle school players drive 45-60 minutes to play for clubs other than NEMS. Makes you wonder if they would be willing to play for a coach who still has ties to the NEMS program.

if they are going to watch players who have reached out, I guarantee there are also watching the team as a whole, so yes they will come to also find potential recruits.

She has the chance to prove that this spring for sure.

Interesting hire. Kids that like to compete seek out and want to play for good coaches. Looking at NEMS commitments they seemed to not be where they used to be. Kids have options with club and if a good option (coaching) is close to home they will stay as they did in past. Same with HS. Except with HS you have good public options with good coaches who have developed kids to play at some great schools. Families will either travel to balt. for private or stay public and play for good proven coaches. Second option kids can take college courses starting JR year as well as save close to 50k to go to same colleges in the end. Look at local CMW coach option vs JC hire...... Former d1 player and coach vs Churchville rec commissioner/NEMS

I wouldn't put Harford public county lacrosse in the same category as IAAM A, which is a big reason why parents/kids choose to go private.

2024 NEMS did just fine with commitments. Though I'm sure you already know that.

The JC coach hire will have every chance to prove her coaching abilities as was mentioned above. I have to believe she doesn't care which club girls play for. The whole issue of a school being tied to a club is overblown and really only lives in places like this board and on the sidelines among parent chatter. For example, plenty of M&D girls don't go to McDonogh and vice versa. Same with all other clubs and schools. They don't really care that much. The HS coaches just want to win.

Nems won’t save them. 24 team had 1 Maryland kid and a bunch of mid to lower commits. Lots to a start up that needed players. 23 team is bad as is 25-27 now. She will have to convince top club kids to go to school in harford county. Good luck with that !

more players combined from other clubs in the 2026 class than there are M&D girls.

Not a Coppermine parent here so I have no dog in the fight. Coppermine is definitely above SW in those age groups. Everyone can decide for themselves if they belong with Heros and M&D, but it's not up for debate if they're better than SW. Post 2025s, SW isn't the club it once was and is on a downhill slide. I have to assume it gets sold to a sports conglomerate at some point soon to salvage the brand value while it still has it.

They have a very strong 28 team so it is probably true that HS coaches will look at them more closely next year (though think many players are already in privates). This team is an anomaly for the club, even though Coppermine parents love to tell you their club is a future powerhouse.

I’m sure they will all find a home. Have to disagree though. Sw is the weakest in 28 -30 groups. Schools will hit M&D , Heros and Coppermine for sure.

Lol at the Coppermine parents trying to put Coppermine in the same sentence as M&D and Hero’s.

They have a very strong 28 team so it is probably true that HS coaches will look at them more closely next year (though think many players are already in privates). This team is an anomaly for the club, even though Coppermine parents love to tell you their club is a future powerhouse.


Powerhouse or no powerhouse, M&D and Hero's aren't beating them on a consistent basis.

I can also guarantee that this summer, the top 3 players for that ‘28 Coppermine team will tryout for M&D and leave … if offered a spot.

Just stop. Coppermine has 1 team and M&D and Heros both with improve. Coppermine has peaked and nowhere to go but down and they are in 7th grade. Coppermine does not have the history or production at all levels to take over the lax world. Even the top 28s will look to jump closer to recruiting time. Just look at the committments at the top 3 clubs. All their players find schools just not a handful. Does Coppermine 24 have any commits this fall ?

There is a big difference between 7th grade lacrosse and what you will see in high school particularly the recruiting years in terms of lax IQ, size, and speed. The high school teams especially M&D and SW are constantly evolving until Junior year. Also, a few players from outside of MD typically flock to M&D and SW. In addition, many of these 7th graders will lose interest because of burn out and/or other typical highs school distractions like boys etc..... enjoy the grade school years while you can.

Doesn’t matter if you are a coach, parent on the team or good friends with a top player. You will find out later than you want to. Look at the recruiting history at those top clubs and you think your top 3 will sacrifice to play at Coppermine ? I applaud you if so but fear of missing out gets all !

At the middle school years, Coppermine is playing in good brackets in top tournaments. They also established a very vague partnership with JT after she retired from JHU. This, along with the hope that they will attract and retain talent that historically has gone to Skywalkers and, to some extend, M&D is what they are hanging their hat on. Seems risky to be the first decent recruiting class a club has ever had, but some are definitely staying put based on the premise that the future of the club will be different.

There is little risky about it. A club team ranked that high with a great coach (that's an assumption,I don't know anything about the coach) with tons of top players will get heavily recruited. That's not debatable and it doesn't matter that much what the name of the club is. The players make the team, the club name doesn't. Obviously, the top clubs (M&D and Heros) have historically had most of the best players and good coaching so they naturally get heavily recruited every year no matter what. What does seem risky for good players that aren't quite top-tier is jumping from a great team that is sure to get heavily recruited to an old legacy club hoping that the club name gives them a boost. Everything changes over time. The top clubs today may or may not be the top clubs in 3-5 years. Owners age or change, coaches leave, philosophies change, etc... Parents of top players notice and will adjust. We're probably seeing that inversion right now between two of the clubs mentioned by PP not named M&D or Heros. If some of the top players do decide to leave, the ranking is going to drop quickly, and all the calculus changes.

She essentially handed over the reins last year to Deamer after they got beat during league play. His influence was evident in the back half of the year/playoffs.

There was a player on McD that was scoring at will and looked to be the best player on the field. Not sure what you classify as a superstar, but that player definitely dominated.

Serious question. What puts Deemer in the category of a great coach? His coaching resume isn't spectacular and has only been coaching for a handful of years.. He was basically told to leave USC as that team got worse with him there, then better after he left. He joined an already championship caliber HS team. Not sure if last years SPSG team was better then the year prior. He convinces already strong players to come to his camp but not sure he actually develops anyone. I guess I am missing out on why he's considered a great coach.

If you have had a player coached by him you would know. He is direct but positive. He knows his players inside and out and helps them develop all their skills. His drills are great at developing skills and confidence to be turned into actual plays on the field. Unlike some other coaches who are negative and tear down their players, he is skilled at building them up.

I would guess not much can be enforced. They have not committed to a high school or played a game in conference yet. Once a parents submits an inquiry to a school the coach can then talk to a family.

On the boys side coaches can’t speak to kids who are enrolled at conference middle schools.

So for example, on the girls side, the coach for SPSG can’t talk to NDP MS girls.

Unless they have submitted an inquiry. If not, it’s a fineable and suspendable violation…

The technical answer is easy to find in the the IAAM handbook:

2. It is considered appropriate for a school’s admissions department to provide a student information about its school; however, coaches and other members of a school’s athletic department are prohibited from contacting or communicating with a student or the student’s parents/guardians until such time as an inquiry regarding the student’s possible admission to the school has been initiated by the student’s parent/guardian through the admissions department. This policy does not preclude attendance by coaches or member school representatives to non-high school athletic events for the purpose of screening prospective student athletes. On the occasion that a prospective student athlete or her parents seek information from a member school’s representative attending a non-high school event, the school’s representative may answer preliminary questions about the member school. The school’s representative should indicate to the prospective student athlete and her parents that further contact by an athletic department representative cannot be made until the admissions department at the member school is contacted by the parents.

3. IAAM schools may not initiate contact or “recruit” middle school students who are enrolled in other IAAM schools, while the students are representing their IAAM school.

So they can't recruit while they are representing their IAAM school, but otherwise, fair game if the family has showed interest. So, if OP is asking on their own behalf, submit and inquiry. If you're asking because someone at your middle school is getting recruited, I wouldn't assume the family hasn't showed interest in some way shape or form and just hasn't felt the need to inform you.

You could say the exact same thing about UA150, Athletes Unlimited, American Select, All America, etc... We haven't been yet and we'll know more after this summer, but from all of the available information, this event gives much better feedback to the players, or any feedback at all. Most of them are just games. The feedback is something that everyone clearly thinks is valuable. Almost all girls have holes in their games. This is a place where they can get unbiased feedback to help fix them, while playing with other top players. Not sure why I feel the need to defend this guy's event, but to [Censored] on the event and not mention the issues you mention are there for all of the events seems unfair.

Exactly.

Best in Class is essentially the same price as UA150, juniors open, American select and all American. Do you also wonder why they charge so much ???
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
BIC - $800 with coaches plus hotel stay
Jr open - $800 with few coaches plus hotel stays.
Am Select - $900 total after tryouts with coaches plus hotels.
All American -$200 and no hotels.
Bic gives great feedback. The others are revenue streams for someone. Pick the best ones for you.

Looking for some insight, my daughter is a 7th grader who starts on one of the better clubs in the area. She has expressed that she really wants to go private for high school to play lacrosse. Not sure if it's bc friends from her team will be going or already going to several different private schools or if it's a burning desire to play tougher competition.

A few questions: 1.) Do MIAA coaches actually recruit? What grade do they start engaging players? Do you need to connect with coaches to let them know your daughter is interested in playing? Should we assume that a large percentage of everyone's rosters have been recruited to play there?

Daughter is going through the process now from public school. Reach out to the schools / coaches she is interested in.

Did they contact you or the club coach expressing their interest? Also, do you know how many players (average) they try to recruit per 9th grade year? This could be a good prep for the college recruiting years. Thanks for your input as we enter the 7th grade Spring season.

Bic gives great feedback. The others are revenue streams for someone. Pick the best ones for you.

They did have a small number of D1 coaches evaluating. I agree with you though. These things are expensive and the players doing them are already known by colleges. Insane the numbers of players that do them to get on a watch list or social media post.

Just do UnderArmour where the same old club and high school

Any chance it could be the best players ? Parents like you make the same argument about every chosen team. American select as well.

Sounds like someone’s daughter wasn’t chosen for under armour or BIC. You definitely do not know Deemer do you. He is a great guy and is far from a fraud.

Social Media has just poisoned girls lacrosse in general. No reason for these coaches who preach “positive mental health” put all kind of FOMO posts out. Showcasing individual girls and feeding off of “if you’re not here you’re missing” out kind of feelings. Kind of ironic. Cant wait til DD gets to college or does it transfer over to college as well? She is going D1.

Be a great parent and explain to her that won’t affect her being recruited. These events make tens of thousands for the directors to cherry pick the top talent. Not develop them. Tell your kid to kill it in the weekend when all the recruting takes place and she will be fine. $1000 for 2 days and social media posts are what’s getting them recruited.

Passing along info for anyone interested or may know someone interested. Per Facebook post from the Liberty Athletic Boosters:

Liberty High School (Sykesville, MD) is looking for a JV Girls Lacrosse Coach for the 2023 Spring Season. Contact Ed Devincent if interested or for more information. Email ERDEVIN@carrollk12.org.

Don't mean to be coy, but it wasn't a trick question.

Passing along what was explained to me, and maybe a benefit to others here:

1) Dodging from the top of the 8m and also able to perform from behind the cage (feed cutters).

or

2) Dodge from up top but with the head up to feed low attackers on the crease when the slide comes-- the triple threat.

Anyone else who can add, agree, or disagree-- I'm all ears! I'm here to learn.
not a trick question, but the I actually messed the question up. Was just corrected by my daughter that the coach at a clinic she attended said she needed attackers who can dodge high and feed low. Everyone seemed to nod their head, and but she didn't know what she meant by that. So I'm asking here.

Confused because it sounded like feeding the ball low, but makes more sense to feed low attackers when dodging up top. Can anyone help educate? Here to learn too. not just read gossip.
In a motion offense, the low attacker will roll high and receive the ball where they can dodge going downhill towards the goal to shoot or feed to either of their teammates who occupy that low attack position in the rotation. I think the coach's comments are meant to convey that you should be comfortable making an offensive play, be it dodge and shoot or feed, from any spot around the goal.
In more simpler terms it also means dodging with the ball high and feeding a low cutter. It's important to make sure there is still at least 1 player at X though for back up so there is often replacing done. Cutters can come from anywhere, not just up high. So you need to be able to feed from anywhere. The best feeders put a little fake and/or dodge before their feeds.

It is typically seen in the reverse, passing high from low, but does happen especially with better teams.

Echo this, in many basic motion offenses the low attacker ends up high at some point. Many low attackers can't play high and thus are limited in what offense can be run. If your coach is running a true 43 motion or even a triangle motion, then the low attackers need to be able to play high.
Which public schools can compete or beat the better private schools?
Not many public schools can compete with top tier private schools. Not that there is no talent in the public schools , there are quite a few talented players... they just can't recruit and do not have the depth that private schools have. Apples and oranges in my opinion.
The top 1 or 2 teams in Carroll, AA, Howard, Baltimore, and Harford county can play a close game with most of the IAAM A . They all have talent and many have quality coaching. Where they lack is depth. One injury to a major player and they drop considerably. Private schools have always gotten a ton of talent from AA, Baltimore, and Howard. The last 3 or 4 years they have gotten a lot more talent from Carroll and Harford, so those teams are not quite as strong as in the past. After the top 8-12 public schools in the state there is a major drop off.

Guess it depends on how good your low attackers are. Good ones can play all attack positions.

Doesn’t look good. Small varsity roster and no jv. Talented seniors leaving. Gonna be tough to fill those spots asking for 30k to lose lots. Them and Gerstell will be in B conference soon.

What does "30k to lose lots" mean? Also, is there relegation in the A conference? Looks like quite a few teams were not successful and still stayed in the A conference from last year to this year? Just trying to understand the landscape of IAAM and when/how these decisions are made.

GCS and Gerstell can stay in the A division as long as they choose to. The league does not move teams into lower divisions

A few questions: 1.) Do MIAA coaches actually recruit? What grade do they start engaging players? Do you need to connect with coaches to let them know your daughter is interested in playing? Should we assume that a large percentage of everyone's rosters have been recruited to play there?
We are in the same situation. Some of the girls already attend the private middle schools...assume they would just transition to the high school. Not sure how they reach out to he public school girls.

Intended with all due respect......there are only a couple ways this happens in the 7th-8th grade years:
1) Your club coach has a real life relationship with a HS coach *AND* (key word) is willing to reach out to that coach during admissions
2) Your daughter attends a camp, mini-camp, "skills session" etc at the HS and gets noticed. Coaches will pull aside players and parents who are playing "lights out." The other 90% of capable players there? Not so much.
3) Your daughter has a relationship or plausible excuse, or insanely good timing, to get herself in front of that coach in a playing environment, aka taking shots on the field with the HS coaches' kids when the coach comes to pick up their kids.

For both boys and girls, the most important things IMHO are:
1) Put the educational fit, first. One day it will be their last day of lax. You don't know when it will be. 10th grade? 12th grade? Tomorrow due to injury?
2) Try to have a good and realistic understanding of your daughter's likelihood to make the roster at her preferred school. In the current senior class, what clubs do the girls play for? Does your daughter play on equivalent clubs? We have personally seen this with both our kids, as families with "the best kid in rec" or "the top recruit from Arkansas!" rolls in and assumes they are going to dominate the lax world in their new private school.
3) Money - assume you will get zero aid for lax. It won't be a difference maker, regardless.

So teams/high schools decide what division they will be in? It looks like Mercy moved up(I realize they won the B conference)-did they decide this? Seems there are way too many in the A division in comparison-why would these schools continue to underperform and stay? Thanks for any insight.

And why not just combine B and C? Seems ridiculous to have a conference with 15 schools and then another 2 with only 6 and 7.

I think the simple answer is admissions. Kids and parents want them playing in the top conference in the country, which is the IAAM A conference. I think any school that drops from A to B will immediately lose possible students.

I know when we looked at schools, outside the A IAAM was a non starter.

So you’d be ok paying 20-30 thousand for a high school lax team that loses 90% of their games to say you were in the A conference ? Gerstell has no jv to help and playing lots of 9th and 10 th graders vs top level teams won’t help them improve the record parents want to see. GCS is getting a new coach. Very few recruits and graduating their top players. They have no jv either. Doesn’t sound like being in the A conference is bringing in lots of admission money. They need to move down a few for sure Divide division up fairly even and then they can talk about moving confernce champs up and bottom team down each year for competition. I know those bottom feeders like to play Mcdonogh and Spsg but those top schools get nothing from it.

This is pretty funny. It sounds like this coach is a lame duck who hasn't lifted a finger since the last coach was shown the door. Oh well that is on the administration. The school is rated high, great location and they are generous. They could maintain this level, but the commitment doesn't appear to be there.

I think the generosity stopped with the 23s. Maybe 24s. They have like 3 25s and 26s. The future looks bleak.

You must be a McD or SPSG parent. Your post was logical until you called those teams “bottom feeders”. Like seriously. Is that necessary?? Some would say people pay $35k to play on SPSG cause they’re a too lax team but they’re a “bottom feeder” in terms of IAMM academic standards. It’s true but See how nasty that sounds

Sometimes I think parents forget that kids from all IAAM teams go D1 and at end of day, you can't make a living off of lacrosse unless you want to be a coach.

Even some amazing players do not turn out to be good coaches. We have all witnessed that at one or two top Lax High Schools.

My understanding is the school stopped giving out the massive amounts of financial aid that many of the 22s and 23s had/have.

The environment is everything when it comes daily life at a private - lacrosse is a bonus. A lot of public schools have better acceptance rates at some colleges. Go to open houses and check it out, but should never be about lax only.

She has a new staff(who are doing their own recruiting) to take over once she retires at the end of this year from teaching and coaching for over 25 years at GCS.

She is still helping with recruiting but new coach in waiting (HoCo Director) is doing primary recruiting. New coach knows she has an uphill climb and needs school to get behind some financial aid to get players and rebuild. Will be interesting to see how it all all shakes out. But far from a dire situation - just not what it was 4-5 years ago.

Have to respectfully disagree. I'm hearing maybe one 27 club player coming in. Just don't think the administration wants to focus on sports any longer. Small varsity roster this year with no JV. Very few girls with experience coming in next year. Going to be tough to attract any/much talent in the future. When the 25s are seniors, will they be able to even field a team?

Have to respectfully disagree. I'm hearing maybe one 27 club player coming in. Just don't think the administration wants to focus on sports any longer. Small varsity roster this year with no JV. Very few girls with experience coming in next year. Going to be tough to attract any/much talent in the future. When the 25s are seniors, will they be able to even field a team?

And rumor has it via DD and her teammates, some of the current squad are already looking to transfer after this year knowing the future looks bleak.

Sticking it out would not be the worst thing for these kids/families. Tough sell in the times of instant gratification and some prefer an easier path.

As was stated before, if there's not enough girls for a team, you think they should still stick it out? They want to play and presumably for a semi-competitive team.

If a girl comes from public to private for freshman year and is a strong, quick, athletic goalie who has proved herself to be the best on all teams. So much so that people are talking about her. Why would she not be on varsity? Could this be because she wasn’t in private for middle school? Are there legacy policies put in place?

Not sure I understand your question but can you explain “proved herself to be the best on all teams”. How could an incoming freshman already proven herself if she hasn’t taken an 80 mph shot from a 19 year old senior. Even if she is amazing at her age bracket, that is no comparison to goalies that played in the league prior. Not saying they can’t start or even be better, just don’t understand the proven comment

Not being there for MS is not a reason. There are also no legacy rules. Every coach has an incentive to put their best kids in the goal. Period. Most IAMM coaches don't hear or care about what other people say. They'd never survive.

McDonogh’s goalie is a freshman and plays before the Jr. She just came to the school this year and is solid.

Wasn’t at the game but usually with scrimmages, the first half really determines the better team as that is the primary starters playing against primary starters. I am sure it was a great comeback but in a normal game the starters would be playing much longer. GCS obviously still has a lot of talented seniors but it falls off very quickly after that. Think they missed their opportunity years to win a championship

4 D1 players not participating for GCS might have made a difference too. Why so excited over a scrimmage? Glenelg better win it all if they are so good. They have a history of underachieving in playoffs lately.

privates are funny. JC schedules scrimmage with CMW and when you win it is now entered by coach on IAAM as a game. When you lose it was just a scrimmage.

Oh here we go again.. disgruntled entitled goalie mom. Give it a rest. Your daughter made JV because the coach felt your daughter would benefit MORE being on JV. Playing time and understanding the plays then sitting the bench on Varsity. If you have an issue go to the coach and talk to them, instead of running to this forum to gain sympathy. Clearly you think your daughter is a standout but the varsity coach thinks otherwise. Start putting in the work and stop complaining.

You realize this is an anonymous forum, and the probability of that post not being the goalie mom but some troll, maybe another disgruntled parent or perhaps a 15 yr old girl is very very high?

You'd would be insane to publicly identify your kid and complain about PT or what team they are on.
I am also sure the coach's know this.

In fact, I'd say 50/50 same person wrote both posts.

Good points. GHS has history of underachieving. They have less numbers and quality depth this year too. It won't happen (again) this year. As stated before, GCS was without 4 starters -I believe they were without their best dodgers and scorers. it would have been a different game.

Gotta love GCS parents, for one, I think it’s only 3 committed starters that did not play but this is the same GCS team that complained loudly on social media that the SPSG coach was making excuses and not giving GCS any credit when they destroyed them in the regular season when the SPSG coach made a comment that 3 of their 4 starting defenders went down the week before they played that game. Ultimately good coaches/good teams find a way to adjust to injuries as GCS should know from the finals. Point being, sadly for the talented class of seniors at GCS, I think their opportunity to win a championship has passed and don’t see much talent in their 24,25 and 26 class to stay at or near the top
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
Howard County, where the egos are so big, they fight about a meaningless scrimmage.
Both teams will have nothing next year compared to what they both have had the last couple of years. Only difference is GHS is public and will always have bodies to form teams. GCS team needs to recruit hard and it will be an uphill battle.

GCS is just bitter because while they might have more commits than most, they just aren’t that good anymore.
Tough to swallow when a team of high school newbies beats you soundly whether you had some players or the other team subbed out for a scrimmage. Losing hurts

People “talking about a goalie” in their middle school years and thinking this would translate to a varsity spot on a team in the IAAM A conference is laughable! Depending on the school, don’t be surprised if she is on JV next year too. Manage your expectations now to save you and your daughter tears and frustration for the next 4 years.

I’ll never understand the desire to just sit on the bench in College Park. Happens every year. Must just like the bragging rights of saying you “play” for Maryland. CR has definitely shown who her favorite freshmen is this year. Others equally as capable aren’t getting the playing time they deserve. But those players knew what they were getting into I guess.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
This seems to be a trend. For such talk of fastest growing sport etc. you see this from club to high school to college a clumping up of talent. Maybe Denver can break through and be the school of the west. I would love to know how much school "support" drives the final standings in the IAAM.

I'm curious who is running their social media...it's obvious the player they are pushing. Is she a good player, yes...are the better players on that team, yes. I feel sorry for the other freshman attacker that was getting some media attention after the 1st/2nd game then immediately got shut down. Can't deny politics.

Maryvale will become this too. Collect a ton of talent, but don't play most of it. Throw a player a nugget every now and again so they don't transfer out.

This stuff is priceless. A bunch of parents with no coaching experience critiquing top level coaches. Funny that NDP carries 40 girls and doesn’t have kids transfer out. How many leave MCD or SPSG? Do all the schools play everyone ? The answer is no! They play those that give them the past chance to win. If you want to play transfer to Gerstell. They would love to have another sub or 2.

My best guess is that JV is unofficial, there's not standings, there's no records like goals scored etc. Its simply a scrimmage to prepare for varsity.

Not trying to be rude but seems like an odd question. If you know so little about club lacrosse how did you find your way to this website? And then of all the forums on this site choose to ask it in the HS forum when your daughter is in 3rd grade?

Top local club teams right now are Heros, M&D, and Skywalkers. That could change by the time your daughter enters high school.

Well Mercy just lost to Garrison. So they're really making an early statement. The correct answer should have been for the bottom teams in A to go down to B where they could be competitive. Not to move Mercy up to A and add another non-competitive team to the division.

How is it empowering the Mercy girls to go from winning B championships to winning 2 or 3 games this year?

Number one recruit? Guess we will all have a birds eye of the greatness if we stand on our tippy toes. Goalie mom sarcasm is great.

Maryvale was an easy pick to make the playoffs this year with their coaching, existing talent and new lefty attack. And with a Heros pipeline, lower tuition, low admission standards and promise of playing time that parents will actually believe, they will be a playoff team until BR leaves when his daughter graduates.

That's not really a high bar considering 10 out of 15 teams make the playoffs.

Harsh, but true. I would wager that this staff will not stay in place for 2-3 years. The HC will be at McD when TC moves on. Taking some of kids with him.

This isn't college. Isn't it difficult to switch private schools, distance, financials, enrollment, classes, not to mention you can't go from varsity from one school to the next without sitting out (so I have been told)

Did anyone go from GCS to Maryvale with him?

Are you talking about the #1 recruit as the freshman goalie for McD? Really? That’s what you are going with? Someone’s ego is a little BIG right now. Maybe too many drinks at the club, beer goggles aren’t a good look goalie dad.

Understood, really meant top 6 seed in playoffs. They will be fighting NDP for the 4 seed next few years once GCS drops off after this year.

Unfortunately for the girls that play, JV is an afterthought for most high schools. Not many schools spend any time or money on the JV team.

JV playoffs are not the norm. I'd say most leagues do not have JV playoffs for boys or girls for any sport.

Not true! MIAA has playoffs for JV and a championship game for fresh/Soph teams.

Like I said, MOST leagues. You've named one.

Lol someone wants TShirt Will JV champs on it
Not at all!! But I bet if your daughter won the JV championship you would 100% be wearing it. Instead of giving a helpful comment don’t comment it’s not a good look for you or your daughter. Simply asking WHY the IAAM has JV girls not playing in championship games. Maybe a lawsuit will wake them up.

You sound like a pleasant person. A law suit for girls JV lacrosse playoffs. Think about that for a second.

Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
That is so RUDE. Having had three daughters and one son go through the IAAM and MIAA, the boys are definitely treated differently. I get they command more money for the school, but I agree - the girls do deserve to have a play-off. If it truly is because of not taking stats, then that is understandable and should be fixed. However, this is high school and not every girl is going to make it to D1 lax or may not make it to Varsity in their school. And for all those that want to make a comment about me being a JV mom, my 2 girls in college have made it to D1 and started freshman year. I just see the JV girls working just as hard and loving the game. Everyone needs to respect the girls no matter what level they play at— they are out there working each day also. I absolutely don’t agree with a trophy for all—hence a play-off, etc. They at least get to compete until the end.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
Does anyone even know what JV teams are good? This year a couple of schools don’t even have JV teams. It is all about preparing them for Varsity.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
The IAAM and MIAA are separate organizations with different members, albeit many coed schools are in each. They have separate policies. I'm sure if enough ADs in the IAAM fought for it, it would be there. I just don't think it is a priority.

Like many posters said, the MIAA policy is the exception, not the norm. MPSSAA doesn't have JV playoffs and don't think any counties do either. Once the JV season is over, the few team members that can be moved up, are moved up for varsity playoffs. The point of JV is to prepare the kids to make varsity, that season in the varsity playoffs or the next.

John Carroll over Garrison 10-9. Garrison’s defense runs it up the entire field without moving the ball, trying to run through 4-5 girls. Garrison’s offense runs through 2 girls who only pass to each other. I would be looking for another school if my daughter went there. It did not seem like the coaches were doing much to stop this from happening.

GFS coach is leaving after this season. Girls on the team are not happy with the selfishness of the two girls and it is definitely causing a divide on the team. The coach seems to be checked out and doesn’t address them and their non-team efforts. Games are lost when teams don’t work together. I wouldn’t be surprised to see girls, who would be key players if they were allowed to be more involved, going elsewhere.

Nobody would argue with you about them being phenomenal. I have heard the issue is they are not team players and that they would help GFS win more games if they didn’t try to run the same two plays that they have run for years on their club team.

Dear future private school high schoolers. Do yourself a favor …. Do NOT pick your school based on lax. And don’t pick a school where parents, club coaches, or parents who are club coaches will be the coach or have access and sway with the coach. It will only lead to frustration. Their children or their club players will always have preference and it will make you fool

Seems like GF players number 5 and 6 are the only two that score or touch the ball. I did notice they only pass to eachother and the rest of the offense is just standing there watching those two move the ball and score. Looks like the coaching encourages this type of play and I agree I would be looking elsewhere to play.

That is correct. Here is the rule:

From June 1 through September 1, student athletes transferring from any member or non-member school, may transfer to and participate in interscholastic athletics, at any level, without penalty."

I love this comment annually, still not sure if they mean it as an insult or as a compliment. 🤷
Some good games today:
-NDP hoping to make amends for losing to ABC this weekend by taking on the public giant in Glenelg
-John Carroll hoping to surprise GCS like a few years ago
-Bryn Mayr looking to get their first W against St Mary’s
-Roland Park and Severn looking to both get a win after tough losses last week
- Mercy and Gerstell locking horns to stay out of relegation(if their was one)
- Spalding hoping to do better against SPSG than they fared last week against MCD
- Garrison have kept all games close despite a losing record with almost the same goals for and against looking to change their luck against Mount De Sales

Predictions?

You are right, Congrats to gcs on beating a team by 3 that won one game last year. I guess it’s better than the last game where they beat a team that came from the b division by 1

GCS is still a threat this year. Next year not so much.
New pecking order adds Maryvale and Spaulding as they both seem to have depth, so add them to the usuals in NDP, SPSG, McD
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
SPSG still the clear favorite this year, although McD starting to come on at the moment, with a threat from GCS and to a lesser extent NDP. Watch out for Maryvale (and to a lesser extent Spaulding) in the playoffs.
Prime for an upset. Next year looks like McD should be the team to beat.

SPSG has a nice class with strong offensive players at middie and attack while McD is coming in with some good middies but could use some attacks. Maryvale has lots of Heros girls, but most are not impact players other than a middie and Spaulding has one or two but nothing to write home about either

JC only has three seniors and should be very competitive next year. But, not sure if they will be able to compete with McD or others.

I have heard the same about SPGS, McD, and Spaulding. Maryvale whiffed on some, but still brought in some depth. Have to take into account the transfers from NDP to BM.

Kinda have to agree as St Pauls isn't infallible and while McDonogh is good they still give up enough goals to be concerned against good teams as it looks like McD is giving up about 8 plus goals a game GCS could finally win it in their final year of relevance

Don’t know what to expect from GCS to finish off the regular season as they seem to play both up and down to their competition. They have beaten a few of the bottom half teams by only 1 goal but managed wins against visitation, Spaulding and other better teams. But they are at least winning against the bottom half teams.

I do however have an issue with with saying the NDP win was a solid win. NDP hasn’t beaten a private school yet this month and got absolutely crushed by STM, a 2 win team at the time.

Not a spsg or gcs fan but a big fan of actual facts so I thought I would copy the quote from MG so everyone can decide as I don’t see excuses being made and have gcs credit imo.


“No excuses. They were the way better team today, but I wish we had had a little more time to regroup,” St. Paul’s coach Mary Gagnon said. “At one point … we had [senior] Madison [Beale] and four freshmen [on defense]. We couldn’t make the stops that we needed to get a rally going. Then the wheels just kind of came off.

“Some of the young players weren’t quite ready. Then you step into a game like this with all seniors … it’s a good learning experience for us. They panicked a little. They’re kids. They saw Natalie go out, they know that we’re down starters. We were out of our rhythm, forcing shots.”

I agree. GCS will likely lose 4-5 games. They are marginal in areas including fundamentals. Offense, draws and lack of team speed are apparent.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
Guess we'll see when GCS plays McD, Maryvale, and SPSG. GCS could be primed to prove nay-sayers wrong but that's a tough stretch.

Rematch of SPSG and McD in final seems like good possibility. Would be great rematch.

McD looks poised to roll the A Conference next year with just a couple of seniors graduating this year, but that's next year so we'll deal with that later.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
Also agree. GCS will lose many of the next few games. Next year will be the end of them. No new incomers and a few players leaving for better teams per girls on the team.


This year It will be down to St Paul’s and McD in the championship. Thinking St Paul can pull it off….
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
I'm actually surprised at the success GCS has had thus far especially with the number of girls who aren't playing. Obviously the next two weeks are big for them, but I'd give them a decent shot at making the championship game. I don't see them winning. But as stated previously, this is their best shot at winning because the future isn't bright.

Just curious....How does a program like GCS stay relevant given the amount of players graduating this year and next, and no JV team, and based on other posts, no real incoming players? Just curious if other schools have ran into similar situations in sports whether it be lax or otherwise and do these schools just not field teams anymore?

Neither can all but the top 4 teams in the IAAM, so unless its SPSG, McD, GCS (for one more year), and MAYBE Maryvale, Spalding, or NDP depending if they're having a good day, no one is relevant. That's a heck of a take.

Spot on-I am pretty sure the bottom half of IAAM would lose to the aforementioned public schools and many of these irrelevant public schools can also compete with the top teams. Sounds like you just want to justify why you're paying for your kid to play sport in high school.

Can't compare private-public school athletic programs such as lacrosse (apples and oranges)...especially in the areas surrounding the Baltimore metro where attending private schools can be par for the course for lots of families and location-wise very accessible.

Many, although not all, top athletes end up going to the surrounding private schools (for many reasons) leaving the local public schools more in deficit the athletic areas--hence not as competitive.

The coach has taken them to two C championships(won both), three B championships(won all 3) and has been top 4 seed every year since moving up to A, with two semi appearances and one championship appearance. But you’re right, terrible coaching. Congratulations to her success over the years. She has earned her retirement.

The coach hired this year is the one taking over the program next year. Smart having her on the sideline now getting to know the girls and bonding with them during the transition. Wow, you really detest GCS and the coach that much to keep going on about how horrible she is. Why all the detest?

It was a great game. Back and forth until the last 10 min. GCS defense just ran out of steam. For all the trashing of GCS on this forum, I expected a much different game. GCS has the ability to be back in the finals if they can finish the game against SPSG. McD is playing like a well oiled unit.

Nah, they'll go 3-1 the rest of the regular season. They don't have the horses to keep up with SPSG, but MP hasn't proven to make that next jump just yet, and GCS seems to be able to pull out wins even when they play down to their competition.

Then you answered your own question, they don’t. #anythingforthewin


How did that girl come back into the game after that? Couldn’t even shake hands after the game for trying not to throw up again and again…….How did TC allow this?

It would make sense since they do not have many players to take the place of those leaving. Did those Carroll Cty peeps tell you if any other teams are getting recruits? smile

Would assume a Spalding parent would know how to spell the name of the school their kid goes to, go figure.

Not the case. Very poor judgement by TC. McD was the better team. Coach needs to think about player safety. The game was in hand.

it's important to remember that sportsmanship is about respecting your opponents and the game itself. Bringing another team down or being overly critical of their performance is not only unkind but also reflects poorly on yourself and your team. don’t be mad be motivated!!

That team down in Catonsville has been throwing games this hole season while awaiting for their star players to make a run. As a Spaulding parent this hurts my heart.

no, SPSG and GCS graduated a lot of talent from those years.

As a GCS parent of a girl who doesn't get much time, I hear the girls have too many distractions and aren’t disciplined. With a mix of social drama and faking injuries, the girls aren’t committed to winning. My daughter doesn't complain about playing time, she complains that she feels more dedicated than some starters…

Kneeling is not one of them. Clearly by your woke comment you are for “boys” playing in girl sports. Shame and a sad time for girls in sports.

Good point. McD didn’t graduate any talent last year, except 9 senior starters.

1 loss to a very good team. I don't even have a dog in this fight, but these trolls hammering the coaching, commitment and faking injuries at GCS is over the top. Need to push start time back at the Valley Inn by a couple of hours.

the Valley Inn depends on the SPSG mothers a couple of times a week. It makes for a very lucrative weekday in the bar business.

Having watched the freshman goalie in club and now high school, I can say she holds her own. She has great composure, can direct her defense, she works hard on and off the field. She is focused and has high expectations. To say she is just getting her feet wet, I think her feet are already wet and she will be the best goalie in the IAAM. Before you say anything, no I am not related, no I do not have a daughter at MCD, no my daughter does not play club with her. I have watched her play from the sidelines and have been impressed.

Lots of fun playoff implications on Tuesday to keep an eye on
#2 SPSG coming off to strong wins vs #4 GCS looking to make up for a tough loss this weekend

#3 Maryvale coming off the high of a Saturday win vs #5 Spaulding on a 3 game conference winning streak

#7 NDP trying to make up for an embarrassing loss to SPSG last week and only 1 conference win this month takes on #8 Garrison that is coming off a big win in a very high scoring game against STM

May the odds ever be in your favor!!!

“she works hard on and off the field. She is focused and has high expectations” Curious how you know this if you aren’t related and have only watched her play from the sidelines? You stalking her too?

Always love how obvious these comments are:
Despite saying you are not, You are clearly either a relative, McD, or club teammate just based on what you are saying.
Let me break down why no one believes you.
A) you say you watched her in club and which would mean that you are a freshman parent(or making everyone else uncomfortable by going to watch girls lacrosse without a kid)
B)you say you have been watching her in high school, insinuating that you have seen her multiple times which wouldnt happen unless you are also on mcd(or you count the joke of a televised game against a really bad opponent where any goalie would have looked great)
C) as a freshman parent who is now at high school games(again assuming you are not an aforementioned pedophile of course) your daughter is either on jv or getting limited playing time with varsity. To make a blanket statement that she is better that some of these goalies who are recruited by top coaches to top programs shows either your ignorance or your full on ego and tie to this goalie.

Not suggesting she isn’t good or won’t be great, this post is just to stop both the [Censored] kissing and the absurd repeat comments that “I have no affiliation” everyone who reads this has an affiliation, just own it realize that no one believes these lies just to promote someone

Well you sure told the OP! Sorry your daughter is on JV, and you feel slighted by this freshman getting playing time while your daughter will be continuously overlooked. I mean your public school is looking for a goalie. You daughter will always be second to the freshman goalie. Carry on

Do you even know how to read or are you just mistaking my comments for someone else? My daughter is neither a goalie, nor at MCD, nor on JV(not that any of that matters for this conversation). My post was about the absurdity that the person who posted has no affiliation to this goalie/MCD. She could be the next Megan Taylor for all I know, just stop pretending to provide feedback as a 3rd party when you are clearly not.

She is focused and has high expectations. To say she is just getting her feet wet, I think her feet are already wet and she will be the best goalie in the IAAM. Before you say anything, no I am not related, no I do not have a daughter at MCD, no my daughter does not play club with her. I have watched her play from the sidelines and have been impressed.

Always love how obvious these comments are:
Despite saying you are not, You are clearly either a relative, McD, or club teammate just based on what you are saying.
Let me break down why no one believes you.
A) you say you watched her in club and which would mean that you are a freshman parent(or making everyone else uncomfortable by going to watch girls lacrosse without a kid)
B)you say you have been watching her in high school, insinuating that you have seen her multiple times which wouldnt happen unless you are also on mcd(or you count the joke of a televised game against a really bad opponent where any goalie would have looked great)
C) as a freshman parent who is now at high school games(again assuming you are not an aforementioned pedophile of course) your daughter is either on jv or getting limited playing time with varsity. To make a blanket statement that she is better that some of these goalies who are recruited by top coaches to top programs shows either your ignorance or your full on ego and tie to this goalie.

Not suggesting she isn’t good or won’t be great, this post is just to stop both the [Censored] kissing and the absurd repeat comments that “I have no affiliation” everyone who reads this has an affiliation, just own it realize that no one believes these lies just to promote someone

All of this
Goalie drama is exhausting can we go back to SPSG moms who like to drink at the Valley Inn. Those comments and jabs are way more fun.
the SPSG moms had to take their drinking to 10 Oaks Tavern yesterday

Really depends on the club. Heros, M&D and Skywalkers don't care who you play for -- they all have girls at all of the top privates. Integrity, MDU really do and it can get hard to get PT if you aren't playing for the "right" team. Don't know the NoVA scene as well, but I get a sense that it is somewhere in the middle.

I think not. High school coaches want to win and club doesn’t matter much if the kid doesn’t help. Not sure which club teams have a board anyway.

you should be concerned. also be concerned if your daughter is not one of the girls that the head coach recruited in. they'll be promised varsity and shown favoritism

It should only concern you if your daughter isn’t a star in her age group. If she is simply a starter, and not a standout, then you would be wise to consider more neutral options. All these coaches want to win, but if your daughter isn’t separating herself from the pack of girls on the affiliated club, human nature would be that the other girls will get the benefit of the doubt.

If it's the club and coach I think you're referring to, I really hope he/she doesn't rely on them as a pipeline. Their middle school teams are terrible and it's a bad look for the coach to continue this close relationship. Perception is everything and I think it will definitely deter others from considering this school.

Do teams get moved to B conference after a season of poor results ? The bottom 3-5 should really move down. Especially mds and Gerstell. Not competitive at all. Can’t be fun for either team to know going in that the game will be a blowout. Doesn’t help with recruiting either. Players will not pay to go to a losing school.

I'm going to say this and will say it politely. Most girls start on their clubs team. When you get to high school, guess what all the girls start on their club team. The JV and V rosters are full of club starters!!!!! Your daughter isnt special. Find a good school where she can grow as a player and get an education.

This should really concern you. My niece has same issue occurring now at the IAAM HSl located in Severn & HC definitely favors her club girls. She uses her affiliation w the HS to recruit young girls to her club. Why is she allowed to financially benefit from her HS coaching connection?

You are a clown! Coaches play the most talented kids. Maybe your kid isn’t good enough. They are playing in the top
Conference and not winning much cause she doesn’t have the players. And if you are talking about Severn she isn’t listed as a club coach anywhere. I assume you are talking about M&D though and looking at the rankings they have the top teams at many age groups that all coaches are trying to get.


you are new to IAAM if you think there are no politics in varsity lacrosse. The clear stars will play regardless. However, most top IAAM teams have 4 or 5 stars then 10-14 good but not great lacrosse. Politics matter. To be fair, how much a parent donates to a school is usually a bigger factor than where someone plays club.

This is a true statement. And I will add, parental relationships with coaches, donation of time (party planner) and money all matter. Very good players play, but they're also political adds to gameday PT.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
Club affiliations matter. One top HS in particular has been known for years to “recruit” from M&D with scholarships. Other club teams play or sit the bench, but the M&D players get recruited.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
Worry about your own daughter too. I’m sure all parents would pick a different group of players than your head coach. Difference is your opinion doesn’t matter and I bet you’ve never ever coached and won a game but we are supposed to believe you know who the players that are being kept off the field for political reasons.

Will SPSG re-do last year and beat McD in the final after losing in the regular season? Seems different/better McD team this year. Or could GCS or Spalding surprise McD? Lots of possibilities. Should the bottom 3 teams in the IAAM A be relegated?

I can't speak for the other schools (I just don't know who they lost) but MCD lost 6 girls from last years team that are currently on B10, PAC12 or ACC rosters. 3 of which made all freshman or all conference. I would say that is pretty big hit. So graduation (Except for GCS who is deemphasizing sports) is not a good excuse. Everyone loses players each year to graduation. The good programs reload.

Hard to see any other scenario than McD/SPSG final - I'm going with SPSG with the win. Relegation would be a good move. Kind of silly how few teams are in B (I realize this isn't going to change much, but evening out the leagues wouldn't be a bad idea). I'm sure those in B would prefer not to play each other over and over again, but I could be wrong (I also realize there's a big drop from A to B...).

There’s a big drop from middle of A to bottom of A.
Last 5 could be moved down and create a better B.
B champs could be offered a chance to move up and then #10 could move down.

the difference is McDonough had super strong committs in the 23's/24's coming behind the 22's. the other IAMM schools don't. even St. paul's doesn't have enough girls coming after their 23's. it seems to ebb and flow. it's not an excuse it just is what is it. Bryn Mawr will struggle next year when their 23's leave and even more once the 24's go. GCS will struggle with the 23's gone, Garrison will drop when the 24's leave. it's just the nature of the beast

I can see GCS and MP getting bounced early. 1 coach is eying retirement and the other has an unfortunate history of getting bounced from the playoffs early.

Can we start a discussion on how to influence the decision to use shot clocks in public schools? When will they make this change? If girls are going to play in college they need to get used to shot clocks.

In a recent game a local public high school coach had her team hold the ball (not passing just standing there with the ball in player's stick) for 19 consecutive minutes. Yes 19 minutes in the second half. Out of a 25 minute half, the ball only moved for 6 minutes! The fact that the coach used this tactic as an opportunity to "stick it" to her former high school is a whole other thread. But if a shot clock were in place it would have prevented this type of poor sportsmanship.

While I don't disagree with this, my daughter is on a team that often destroys some teams and we pass the ball around so we don't run up the score once the score is already "out of hand". I know this can happen in private schools, too, but not sure to the same degree as the public schools. Maybe if they do institute this there could be divisions in high school, too.

Well, maybe someone should have at least tried to play tighter defense? I do agree that a shot clock would be nice, but then there's the potential of some REALLY out of hand scores because let's be honest, there's a HUGE range of talent level in the public schools. I don't really know what's a good answer, but a shot clock would be a nice addition but more so for games that are closer so no one is playing keep away the last 10 minutes of a game. I know in basketball in the state, the shot clock is turned off once the score is +35 points. They could do similar if it's 10 or 15 maybe?

Or.... you could use sportsmanship and just run out the clock without shooting... not sure why so many parents (and worse, coaches) think that you have to keep shooting once the score is out of hand...
Another etiquette observation, once the score is out of hand, the coach on the losing side should start putting the bench in, and the coach on the winning side should do the same.. this is not tough to figure out, but the character of some coaches just continues to disappoint
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
Agree! Our team is one that often dominates on the field. But our coach takes the opportunity to try new plays, attackers practice off ball movement and their cuts, and players try new positions during high scoring games. Good sportsmanship allowing the other team to have a chance.

I wish it was here, but there are 3 issues here:

1.) Who is paying for the equipment to do this? What if you are on a field with no scoreboard?

2.) This will take away a tactic that slightly lesser teams use to stay in the game with better teams. Taking the air out of the ball is an equalization strategy. So the rich will get richer.

3.) The MPSSAA is trying to grow the game (see PG county schools added a few years back). A shot clock will disincentivize adding girls lacrosse to areas that historically did not have teams. Come playoff time, these teams from non-lax areas are getting beat 25-0. With a Shot clock it will be 40-0, or a roll to the corner every 90 seconds or 2 minutes.

There is a full article about it in the Capital Gazette today. It was Chesapeake High School who was LOSING 7-2 when they decided to hold the ball for 17 minutes. Their coach was quoted as saying it was a big victory for them as they had never held this opponent to 7 goals before (they typically get blown out by them). I am sorry but if I am a Chesapeake player or parent I would not be happy. I would rather my daughter try to compete and learn something from a game.

Basically the Chesapeake coaches (both former SPHS coaches) are saying to their team they are not good enough to be competitive. Way to pump up the self esteem of these girls. Talk about head games with athletes. The game in the first half was pretty competitive. The Chesapeake goalie rocked it out there. Total embarrassment for the Chesapeake program.

Their coach was quoted as saying it was a big victory for them as they had never held this opponent to 7 goals before (they typically get blown out by them). I am sorry but if I am a Chesapeake player or parent I would not be happy. I would rather my daughter try to compete and learn something from a game.


Fairly important detailed left out of the original post.

Public schools are doing a disservice to players by not using a shot clock and sticking to halves not quarters. College is a different game now. Only way to prepare is high school and club. They should be mimicking the college play because it's a different game with quarters and a shot clock. Officials can keep shot clock time if clocks can't be bought. They have done it in the past for broken time clocks, scorekeepers who don't show up, penalties when needed. it would also alleviate a lot of the stress for offifcials who get nasty with said scorekeepers for not resetting.

bottom line- a lot needs to change about high school ball.

as the parent of a public school player there are lots of changes needed. the first and most important change is that public schools need to have "cross county divisions" for regular season play like the IAMM has. i know it's fun to have the spirit of playing against the other teams in your county but there's not enough good teams. you get these fool lopsided games that you would eliminate with divisions. Imagine if St. paul's had to keep playing a school like St Tim's who is a "C" division team because they're geographically close together. i know there are scrimmages and out of conference play but divisions would be best. Secondly they need to have shots clocks even if each team has their team manager or a parent volunteer sit at the actual shot clock and keep it. that way if you're at a field that doesn't utilize a scoreboard as a previous poster said you can still have portable shot clock. it can just be one the sits on the ground. although in four years of watching public school girls lax i've never been to a field without a scoreboard. thirdly , if a team is up by more than 10 or more they need to let the clock run and not stop it at each foul. a fourth which is an idea i hadn't thought of but another poster listed it is a 10 or more goal rule where then the shot clock could be turned off. that would solve the problem of an even more lopsided game because of having to shoot within 90 seconds. i would also say they need a tyker " up by more than 10" draw rule where the losing team automatically gets the draw possession but that may be too extreme. really the best way to line the public up with IAMM is divisions that span across counties. Pick any good IAMM "A" lax team then pick a school that is geographically close to them but in the "c"
or even low "B" and imagine if that's the kind of team the A division girls had to play. public schools team (the strong ones but also the team who aren't strong) don't want to play these blowouts. Both the winning and losing team detest it!!!

Public schools athletics don’t care if you are going to college. It’s part of the overall educational experience and it’s an activity to participate in. The MPSSAA is a joke. Leadership is weak and nothing to add for the athletes. Public school lax is incredibly average now cause kids going to privates even to sit on bench.

A public school can schedule games against anyone they like - it's up to the athletic directors and coaches. Look at Glenelg's schedule.

And it's not just a public school problem. Look at the WCAC...they also don't have a shot clock.

That was the most bizarre article! The ches coach was referenced as saying that sphs ran the score on Ches when they played last year - that was the reason for her holding the ball for 17mins when her team is down by 5 points…but SHE was the head coach at sphs at the time?! Very strange logic in that article.

That ches team had an amazing goalie and some great players/athletes - she should have given them a shot. It was difficult to watch- I felt horrible for those ches players- knowing that they knew their coach had no faith in them. She made it all about herself. Sad.

IAMM lax is average too except for the top 8 teams of the "A" division. bottom of A and all of B and C is what i would consider average. those teams could be beat by heros and m&d's 7th and 8th grade teams

As far as public schools go, it is an issue of perspective. Everyone who reads and comments on this board, play or have kids on a high level lacrosse team. There are 163 schools listed for Girls lacrosse on the MPSSAA site, there are 144 that will field a team for the playoffs. Of those 144 maybe 14 (and that is generous) are Elite (Dulaney, Towson, Hereford, Broadneck, Severna Park, Glenelg, Marriotts Ridge, Middletown, CM Wright, Century, Manchester Valley, Westminster, Liberty, South Carroll) and there are probably 10 more schools (again being generous) that wouldn't be embarrassed by those 14 (Catonsville, Howard, Mt. Hebron, Urbana, Linganore, Bel Air, Fallston, Huntingtown, Queen Anne's, Stephen Decatur). So at the low end 14 of 144 (10%) or at the high end 24 of 144 (~17%). In actually there are probably 6 Elite teams (Glenelg, Man Val, Liberty, Towson, Severna Park, Broadneck) that would be ideal for shot clock play.

The bigger argument is unbalanced Regions in terms of numbers and talent. The fact that only one of Glenelg, Man Valley or Century comes out of a region into the final 8 of 2A when the winner of Northeast (AA) and Frederick Douglass (PG) goes to the final 8 is a joke. The same thing happens in 3A where Westminster, Marriotts Ridge, and Hebron are all together but Catonsville has to battle through Poly, Mervo and Woodlawn to get to the final 8. This state is not that big, have play in games down to 32 (or even 16), seed 1 to 32 (16), and play it out. Teams should not be punished for being in proximity to other good teams. If we want a competitive final 4 and championship, have the best teams advance, not kill each other in the region.

New coach can’t fill the shoes of her predecessor. Lots of girls have quit over the last year, and recruiting has dropped off.

So true and its a very good point
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
The state is plenty wide. Imagine stephen Decatur travelling to Century and linganore with 1 day off. I think the geographic regions make sense for the first bit. You can change them around a bit no need for Mont Co to all be in 1 region. I think they are aligned with other sports for the most part so to have an alignment just for 1 sport or each one individually each year is too much for the MPSSA. I am sure I could do a pretty good job for lacrosse but what about softball/ baseball etc. It used to be just 2 divisions not that long ago in lacrosse. I think the idea was that it would give more teams a chance to win. The real problem is that the lacrosse instruction for youth is extremely uneven in the state and getting worse.

Times have changed.
Century is not good. Hereford is average. Broadneck is ok.
Glenelg , Towson and SP are top 3. MV is next level but hasn’t beat anyone good yet. Marriotts ridge is solid. Liberty wins by stall ball. They would struggle vs teams with the shot clock.
I definitely agree on getting rid of regions and seeding. The final four will be lucky to have 2 really good teams there.

The Elite list was year over year, so there is definitely ebbs and flows. Century has won 9 titles, including an undefeated season last year, and has only been playing varsity lacrosse since 2004. I agree they aren't elite this season, but I doubt the talent has dried up in Sykesville/Eldersburg. They'll be back.

I just looked at Man Val schedule and with the exception of Franklin, every team they played had a winning record against quality opponents. But yes, they did not schedule any IAAM. They have to go through Glenelg in the 2A region, so we will see what they are made of.


1A champ will be the winner of South Carroll/Liberty and play Fallston
2A champ will be the winner of Glenelg/Man Val and play Hereford or Middletown
3A final will be good with SP, Towson, and Westminster/Marriotts Ridge Winner. I say SP.
4A Champ will be Broadneck and they'll play Dualney

Another year, another year of the same teams. It was refreshing 2 years ago when Queen Anne's and Middletown broke through. Don't see that happening this season.

True but 90% of the teams are between Frederick and Easton and they already do neutral site for the final 8 and lower. I am sure they can make a rule that allows teams to play halfway for the 1 or 2 games that are longer than an hour ride. MPSSAA already assigns classes to schools who don't correspond to their main class. (i.e. drops bottom half 2A teams in the 1A bracket, drops bottom half 3A teams in the 2A bracket), so having an exception for lacrosse is not unheard of.

Or maybe a simpler solution is to not bucket the geographic regions before the season starts, wait to see who fields a team for the playoffs and then divide the number of teams by the 8 regions. That way you could have 8 regions of 5, geographically aligned. instead of 7 teams in one region and 2 in another.

Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
I will take the bait.
1A liberty over fallston
2A Glenelg over Hereford
3A Marriotts ridge over Severna park
4A Dulaney over Broadneck

I think in 1A is very clear who will be in the final. 4A maybe a mont co team could sneak in. 2a I think Glenelg can run with MV and they are more physical than them. If it lines up they should play Hereford in final.
3A hardest one I think as even Westminster might upset my pick for states in region. SP and Towson are tough physical teams with talent. MR superstar with really good scheme might carry the day again this year.

So, after taking them from the cellar of the A conference to a top 5 national ranking, he is gone 24 hours after they finally make it to the Semifinals? Seems harsh so I'll wait for an official announcement from the school.

I have no idea about the rumors or really anything about maryvale or the coaching staff. I am just fact checking your comments.
-Maryvale has not been in the cellar and have been in the top half of the league for the last four or five years although they are obviously better this year.
-After what looks like a ridiculously lopsided loss where they not only got a running clock against them on their defense and only scored 4 goals on offense they will certainly not be in the top 5 in the national rankings.

Team improved greatly the past 2 seasons.
Didn’t have half the weapons the top 2 teams did.
Rankings mean zero.
Unless you are spsg or mcd you aren’t better.
This smells badly as a Gcs parent ?

Not a gcs parent(thank god)and not suggesting that they didn’t improve thanks to coaching or that they aren’t a good team. I was simply correcting the previous person who stated 2 things that simply weren’t true with regards to being a cellar team and being a top 5 team.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
The difference between the top 3 teams nationally (Darien, McD, SPSG) is HUGE and so Maryvale is probably a true top 5 national team.
It's just that when the top 3 want to turn it on there is a huge gap between them and the next several teams in the rankings.
Congrats to #4 Maryvale (and to #6 GCS) on a tremendous season, but there is just too much talent at McD and SPSG to compete when they are playing at full blast.

BR is a good coach, but he lacks self control on the sideline. He does not maintain the integrity of the game with his antics and it's a poor example of how to represent oneself during competition. Players could benefit from a better role model.

what needs more context ? yesterday was baltimore tryouts for Under Armour/All American and they had a parent be an evaluator in their daughter's age group and sit in on the meeting for choosing the players who get a roster spot. plus this coach is a 25 coach so players from her team were being evaluated. that is what the conflict of interest is. these parents worm their way in to everything
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
Not the OP. I had a daughter at 25 tryouts. Saw a good number of evaluators, like 12. 3 coaches from different IAAM schools at least. At least people from 4 different clubs. Matter of fact I saw people that have been around lax for quite a while. I am willing to bet that there will be complaints as usual while the team that was selected will be very good. I appreciated seeing the competive stations. Games with lots of action for the girls and the call back game was played like real game and you could see some standing head and shoulders above others. I did notice the 24s didn’t have a large turnout but they had 4 evaluators I think watching the 30 girls that came out. The 30 there looked to be very strong too. Did not see the younger age group.

The Gerstell situation is unfortunate. Not a bad player, but in no way near the level of play of the callbacks at this tryout. Much better players in that position were cut, even before the call-back game. Sports parenting gone awry, and awkward for the player. I can see throwing the coaches a bone if it's close, but the event director should have stepped in on this one. It's a bad look for an event that they keep insisting is 100% fair.

The 2A matchup should be a great one! I still find it insane there is a 2A region with Century, Glenelg and MV. Best 3 teams in the 2A and 2 of the 3 are easily the top 2 public school teams in the state. Winner should win the 2A state title.

Hebron upset MR and could knock off Westminster. Liberty will win a 3rd state title in a light 1A class.

This loses credibility more and more every year. Unless you play for the coaches club team/school. you have such a slim chance of making it. It is not what it used to be and that is probably why there wasn't a huge turnout for specific years

And what was up with the goalie situation? I saw a lot of good goalies trying out and what I watched in the call back game was not the best I noticed on the field before. As a Dad of a defensive player, these high-level teams need athletic goalies. Athleticism has to be considered for these goalie positions.

Ok defense dad. Stay in your own lane because you don't know what you are talking about. There were a lot of good goalies there, and the 4 they kept for the callback game were all solid goalies and deserving. What a clown.

Wrong. Just an observant parent with four kids who have gone through club lacrosse and all its BS over the years. Either try out and deal with the politics involved, or move on. It hasn’t changed in 10 years, it’s not going to change in the next 10. Local coaches will always be the coaches and evaluators and they will always put their players first. It’s not even close to rocket science. Every year people come on here and [Censored] about the way teams are picked. Nothing about the process has changed so blame yourself for thinking it would this year.

It was a great one. Man Valley pulled it out 10-9 in OT, now they have the tall task of playing Northeast HS of Anne Arundel County, who beat Duval 8-7. This MPSSAA system is a joke.

2A has 1. Man Valley vs 8. Northeast (AA)

4/5 CMW vs Decatur

2. Middletown vs coin flip lost of 7. Hereford or Eastern Tech

3. Calvert vs Coin flip winner of 6. Herford or Eastern Tech

Calvert, Eastern Tech, and Northeast (AA) can't touch any of those other schools left standing, let alone Century and Glenelg. There has to be a better way.

Wait until those JV players and JV goalies go up against these other teams with players who have had the experience of faster games. No doubt JV and Varsity teams are different. If girls can’t make their varsity high school teams as a 25 or 26, should they be in this situation? Not fair to the other players.

What is the better way? The system is geographically based. There is no easy way to do it when Western MD is 5 hrs from Ocean City and Elkton is 4 hrs from California. There are almost 300 high schools in MD, the only way to do it is geographically. The regions are seeded based on records. Not everyone can play the same teams, so you make the best of your schedule and see where you end up. If you play tougher competition, you risk losses, but also challenge your team more. The past few years, all 4 defending state champs have played a 4 team tourney in season so the champs can face each other.

If you make it out of your region, they re-seed the winners for the state tournament, to try to get the better teams on opposite sides. We all know that the majority of top lax clubs are in the central MD area, so it makes sense that the top high school programs will be as well. And the top schools and top coaches will continue to put out good teams vs those with lesser coaching. So unfortunately, top teams will be in the same region in many cases. It is what it is.

Just dont get all the detest for the system - what is the better option?

While you're correct that it will never change, if you already had four kids go through club lacrosse, why the *&^% are you on this site reading parent comments? If new parents are just coming to the realization that the local Baltimore lax scene is run by bozo overgrown lax bros that never found a real job and reward their coaching buddies by giving spots to undeserving kids, please just let them [Censored].

The 2025 team is stacked. There are a few girls on the roster who probably should not be on there, made it because of certain evaluators being their club and high school coaches, but other than those few, the team will be hard to beat.

Top 2/3 of roster is a no brainer. Last 1/3 is tough to seperate some for others. Looks like all positions represented too. I think this team is stacked as well.

I can see throwing the coaches a bone if it's close, but the event director should have stepped in on this one. It's a bad look for an event that they keep insisting is 100% fair.

And what was up with the goalie situation? I saw a lot of good goalies trying out and what I watched in the call back game was not the best I noticed on the field before. As a Dad of a defensive player, these high-level teams need athletic goalies. Athleticism has to be considered for these goalie positions.
It’s called politics. Get used to it or don’t try out.

^sounds like something a tryout evaluator would say
Wrong. Just an observant parent with four kids who have gone through club lacrosse and all its BS over the years. Either try out and deal with the politics involved, or move on. It hasn’t changed in 10 years, it’s not going to change in the next 10. Local coaches will always be the coaches and evaluators and they will always put their players first. It’s not even close to rocket science. Every year people come on here and [Censored] about the way teams are picked. Nothing about the process has changed so blame yourself for thinking it would this year.
While you're correct that it will never change, if you already had four kids go through club lacrosse, why the *&^% are you on this site reading parent comments? If new parents are just coming to the realization that the local Baltimore lax scene is run by bozo overgrown lax bros that never found a real job and reward their coaching buddies by giving spots to undeserving kids, please just let them [Censored].
I never said I was done with club lacrosse, I said my kids have gone through club. I’m a coach who no longer participates in these events because I don’t believe in the nepotism and favoritism that goes along with them and I will continue to try to dissuade families from participating. The process is so unprofessional it’s pathetic.

Several of the top players came over to AA this year from American Select. It will definitely hurt American Select this year. Last year they didn’t fair so well even with them on the team.

4/5 CMW vs Decatur

2. Middletown vs coin flip lost of 7. Hereford or Eastern Tech

3. Calvert vs Coin flip winner of 6. Herford or Eastern Tech

Calvert, Eastern Tech, and Northeast (AA) can't touch any of those other schools left standing, let alone Century and Glenelg. There has to be a better way.

What is the better way? The system is geographically based. There is no easy way to do it when Western MD is 5 hrs from Ocean City and Elkton is 4 hrs from California. There are almost 300 high schools in MD, the only way to do it is geographically. The regions are seeded based on records. Not everyone can play the same teams, so you make the best of your schedule and see where you end up. If you play tougher competition, you risk losses, but also challenge your team more. The past few years, all 4 defending state champs have played a 4 team tourney in season so the champs can face each other.

If you make it out of your region, they re-seed the winners for the state tournament, to try to get the better teams on opposite sides. We all know that the majority of top lax clubs are in the central MD area, so it makes sense that the top high school programs will be as well. And the top schools and top coaches will continue to put out good teams vs those with lesser coaching. So unfortunately, top teams will be in the same region in many cases. It is what it is.

Just dont get all the detest for the system - what is the better option?[/quote]

1.) have even regions. Don't set the regions months in advance. They are unweighted to begin with and some of the smaller regions have schools that never field a team or never field for playoffs, so their count is even smaller. There shouldn't be 0, 1 or 2 teams in 1 region, and 7 in the other. So when they determine how many schools will field teams in the playoffs, take that number and divide by 8 and then look on a map.

2.) Keep classes uniform. 1A schools shouldn't have to play 2A schools they have no shot against. The game will grow much faster if smaller schools think they can be successful if they start a team.

3.) They'll never do this, but do some kind of weighted seeding, not just based on record. Losing to Glenelg and Man Valley shouldn't count the same as losing to Easton and Duval.

The better option is using more than just overall record to reseed at the final 8. Teams that play terrible schedules will have a good record and get a higher seed and then get destroyed in the semifinals or finals. They need to incorporate strength of schedule into the reseeding process and not just for lax- it is a problem in other sports as well.

It’s not all conference. It’s team mops. Some get 4. Some get 1
Needs to be selected by position. Pick the top goalies, defense and attack and don’t give a spot to a player on an 0-14 team.
20 players seems like a good number to honor and maybe do a 2nd team. 22 of the 26 are offensive players.

Then it wouldn’t be ALL conference, would it. That’s the point, ALL. Just because a team is 0-14 means absolutely nothing. There are deserving players on losing teams too. What if your daughter was the leading points scorer in the conf on an 0-14 team. Clearly from your post, your head would spin if she wasn’t acknowledged. So sit down.

They should go to a 1, 2 and HM model with each position represented. If you have to throw a bone to a girl in each program, she is HM. I'm surprised the 0-14 coach didn't have his daughter make it.

It's hard to argue with the selections from the top 5 teams though.

0-14 player would not start on top 10 teams this year. That’s the point. And points don’t mean that you are top 20 confernence. My bet is girl at MCD on the bench would be leading point scorer at Gerstell.

You sit down and zip it Gerstell mom. All conference is best in conference. The top 26 players regardless of what team they are on. Winless and playing / scoring against backups is not the same as producting vs good teams. My bet is they averaged 4 goals scored vs the top half of the league. And gave up 12+. Nobody deserved it.

How is that guy still the coach? Terrible reputation. The team is 0-27 since he took over.

And 2nd string attackers on SP, MCD, MVP and Spalding would definitely be leading scorers on that team. They were the only team not to score 100 goals in conference. It was sad to watch really. Even the parents seemed disinterested.

Pretty easy to figure out that they are talking about the GCS goalie who is committed to USF. That's a huge loss for them especially with the Byrnes leaving. Great goalie in every game I saw her play. I'm sure she isn't leaving for greener pastures ... just the whole family moving south.

YOu think because a player played on a team that didn't win a game, doesn't deserve accolades if she personally had a great season? Clearly your daughter didn't make this list, therefore you are bitter.

If they did, I never saw her play. If they didn't, without a JV, they would need a transfer in or freshman to step in.

As the OP, I should have added the disclaimer that this is far from fact and based on a FB post so it is to be trusted as many of the rumors that originate on here.

If it is true, I wouldn't blame the family one bit. The odds of a full scholarship are minimal so establishing residence 15 months ahead of time could be a huge savings for the family.

I hope it doesn't cause a snowball effect. The IAAM needs more teams competing for the top spot, not less.

1A is Tuesday at 4, Fallston vs Liberty - I'm saying Liberty by 12
2A is Thursday at 8, Manchester Valley vs Middletown- I'm saying Man Valley by 4
3A is Thursday at 4, Towson vs Severna Park- I'm sayingTowson by 2
4A is Wednesday at 6, Broadneck vs Dulaney- I'm saying Dulaney by 2

Hope it is competitive because besides CMW / Man Valley & Westminster / SP, we had some very very uncompetitive semi final games.

i wish they'd take it 2 games further and have a final four consisting of the winners from each class playing each other. that's where the most competitive games would come

Can't do it after the finals due to MPSSAA regulations unfortunately. That being said, they have had the 4 defending State Champions all play each other in a tournament the following spring the past few years.

Pretty sure Liberty won it this year and Century won it in 2022.

2A is Thursday at 8, Manchester Valley vs Middletown- I'm saying Man Valley by 4
3A is Thursday at 4, Towson vs Severna Park- I'm sayingTowson by 2
4A is Wednesday at 6, Broadneck vs Dulaney- I'm saying Dulaney by 2

Hope it is competitive because besides CMW / Man Valley & Westminster / SP, we had some very very uncompetitive semi final games.

1A won’t be much of a game. Liberty should win it easily. For everyone complaining about the ease of playoffs for them, nothing they can do but play the games. Not to mention they lost one game all year and that was to Man Valley.

2A shouldn’t be much of a game. It really depends on which Man Valley team shows up. Their offense is a juggernaut that has 7 girls who can finish. Try to stop options 1-3 and 4-5 step up with huge games like they did against CMW. However, they did struggle as a team to find the net on Saturday. Watching the game I would venture to guess they had 2-3 times the shots as CMW. That game could have been a 10 goal win. With that said, they found a way to win. Don’t count Middletown out but they have a hill to climb if they want to know of MV.

3A should be a great matchup. Probably the best of the final 4. I can see this one going either way. SP is a solid team and finally got over the heart ache of last years loss to Ridge. They fought back and managed to stun Westminster in the semis with 2 goals in the final minute. Towson is loaded with upper class man who have played well together and for a long time. I expect they are favored in this game by many by look for SP to give them a game.

4A is Broadneck to lose. They are by far the stronger team and should be able to win this one convincingly. However looking at Dulaney schedule and results. They do have some impressive games where they overachieved and almost pulled some upsets. So hopefully they can make it a game and who knows. Maybe pull of the upset.

As an IAAM parent who has only seen one of the public schools this year, I am genuinely curious what people think about where these 8 teams would end up if they were in the IAAM.

Not the case at all. I know Glenelg, MV, Century, SP, Broadneck and other teams are all really good teams. Being new to high school girls lax, I thought some would have an idea.

As high as 6th. That’s the peak this year.

And on any given day they could all lose to 6 through 10.

I think the publics are down across the board this season compared to previous, but I think Glenelg (who MV eliminated) and Man Valley would comfortably make the IAAM playoffs. I don't think they could beat McD or SPSG but it wouldn't be a killing. Glenelg lost to NDP without their top 3 players and lost to McD by 5 or 6 with their top 3 players. Both have players that would be top 3 players on any IAAM team.

Liberty is really good, but their style isn't conducive to a shot clock. For whatever it's worth, they did beat Mercy this year. Towson beat RPCS, Century (who Glenelg eliminated), who is way down this season, beat Gerstell (but so did everyone else). SP got beaten pretty good by Spalding.

I think Man Valley has a few very good players but not a solid team like McD or SPSG. It would not be a close game. Liberty beat Mercy this year but so did every team in the IAAM…..Again, a few really good players but not the whole team.

Have them call an Iaam school and accept a game playing with Iaam rules.

On paper Man Valley should be the 4th or 5th best team in Carroll County, but they find a way to win consistently. I don't think they would beat the top 2 in IAAM, probably an L vs the next 3 but not an automatic L, and should win more than they lose against the rest of the A division. Same with Glenelg.

If the question is can a public win the IAAM this season, the answer is no. But there is no doubt a few of those public schools can compete far better than more than half the A division. If my daughter in Carroll wanted to go high school with lacrosse being a main focus, I scratch my head why they would pick Gerstell ahead of all the Carroll schools besides FSK and Winters Mill.

Agreed. I think at least 3 publics would be playoff teams, especially if they played by NFHS rules and refs not IAAM.

Towson is a good measure of public schools and probably the best in the state this year (though they get no recognition). They beat Man Val by multiple goals this year and also beat RPCS by 1. RPCS was an 8 seed this year and McD beat them by double digits. Towson would be a solid 8-9 team in the IAAM and I am doubtful Man Val or any other schools would be in the top 10.

There are some very talented girls in public schools but comparing PS team to Private is like comparing Skywalkers, MnD or Hero's to Gamber, LTRC or Towson rec. There is just too much depth at the privates and few if any PS schools could compete in the A conference.

If MV wins on Thursday will the paper say record 19-0* *lost to Towson HS?

I take Glenelg as good compare. They scrimmaged GCS fairly close and played NDP and McD during the regular season. Fully loaded, they played the IAAM champ to a 5 goal game. Most of the IAAM didn't do that.

They have close to double digit D1 players (Maryland, Virginia Tech, etc.) and a few freshman that will be when the time comes. Far cry from Gamber rec.

I have no doubt McD and SPSG are better teams than any public, but the rest would play very competitive with the best PS teams.

Incorrect. Towson did not beat Man Valley, Man Valley is the only unbeaten public school. In addition, Towson lost to Broadneck this season. Broadneck lost to Liberty, Severna Park and Glenelg. Liberty has only lost to Man Valley this year. Glenelg has only lost to Man Valley in public schools this year. Saying that Towson is well above any of these other publics (and the best in the state) is just being a homer.

MV beat 1A state Champ Liberty by 7. Their only loss. LHS also won the battle of state champions in this years tournament. Which included some of the same teams participating in this year’s states tournament.

MV beat Century by 7 who while down almost knocked off Glenelg in regional semis.

MV beat Westminster by 14. Westminster lost a state semi heart breaker to SP.

MV beat a loaded Glenelg team in regional final.

MV beat Dulaney who is in the state finals.

The Towson game being referenced was a scrimmage where teams play all girls (at least MV did) and they tied if I remember correctly?

I’m not knocking Towson. They are a very well coached great team. But I think US lax magazine got it right with MV top 10 mid Atlantic ranking and 22 in the nation.

With all that said. Middletown won’t be a push over. They will come ready to avenge an early season loss to MV. And if MV plays the way they did against CMW. They could lose.

Just a little fact checking for wink

Glenelg was at full strength in their game vs NDP. Some of their “top” players just stopped playing. But let’s not make excuses on why they lost by 10+ to the 8th best team in the IAAM. And the “closer” result with McD was because McD subbing quite a lot after going up big. Gleneg would fall somewhere between 8-12 in IAAM

As a Glenelg parent, MV has a girl (not sure her name) who was referenced by Coach Pags as being the best player he has seen all year, this includes the private schools. One advantage to playing at a public school is a player like that can carry a team. I am not sure if they could hang in IAAM but they were well coached and played a great team game. Can't say anything about Towson didn't see them but, MV deserves respect that's for sure.

Stop with the fool talk. Scrimmages never count. Never
Mcdonogh played lots more players than they do va top teams in conference. And game stopped with 9 min left due to weather.
Public vs private with shot clock would be a different story for glenelg too. They like to take air out of the ball and their 7 on a side are nowhere ready to handle extra possessions that a private would take. Same for any public.

Man Valley beat Middleton after middleton played the second half of the game two players down from yellow cards
Hopefully the refs don't sway the game that drastically again

Manchester Valley did not scrimmage towson any differently than an actual game. and it was not tied. towson won. the players that are referenced in all the news articles played pretty much the whole game. so maybe if MV and Towson had played one week later it would've been a "real" game and not a scrimmage ???

Man Valley beat Century who is down their key class of 23 players

they're good but so are these other teams

Nope. Nobody says scrimmages count. Just you.

Almost every scrimmage includes backups, who wouldn't be on the field in a game that mattered. Scrimmages are to work on plays, see how teams perform, try new ideas. They are a PRACTICE GAME. Not a real game. They have zero losses so far. Towson has 1 (even with the missing players excuse), because it was an actual game that counted in season. Move along.

Scrimmages don't count. They are practice games. I have never felt bad about losing one or good about winning one. Coaches use them to evaluate players in game conditions. The NFL preseason games don't count for the same reason. Do some high school teams take them more seriously against certain teams? Absolutely. But that is one sided and usually because a team wants to prove something while the other is using it to prepare for the season.

Towson may be good enough to beat MV. I have no idea and we won't know because they only played in a scrimmage.

Towson won the scrimmage by a few(do t remember the score). They shut down MV best player and she only had a few goals compared to the multiples she’s had against other teams this year. You know, the sophomore. And yes, no one ever mentions Towson.

Towson won the scrimmage by a few(do t remember the score). They shut down MV best player and she only had a few goals compared to the multiples she’s had against other teams this year. You know, the sophomore. And yes, no one ever mentions Towson.[/quote]

9-8

Did anyone mention this is a scrimmage or really a practice. Sounds like Towson really is excited about this win 😂

The state championship game should be Towsons focus and not trolling another team that has no impact on their game today on an anonymous forum. Not sure why the “lack of respect” is felt given Towson is ranked in the Sun and if they win today could be a Top 10 team. I’m going to assume this is a HS kid commenting. Focus on yourself and what you can control. It will take you further in life. Good luck today.

Both are publics that would struggle to get to top 8 in Iaam. Depth would be a major issue. Towson coach has never won a big yet. Let’s see how she handles tonight and how she follows it up next year. MV has 1 student and some solid in an average 2a class.

Know what you are talking about before making a statement like this. Meg had done wonders with her and many other goalies. The goalie you are so clearly referring to isn't a holdback.

What do you call 19-0
MV lost a scrimmage to Towson by 1
Where are scrimmages on schedules/ records?
Kudos to Towson for a great season
It does not take away from what MV did

Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
A scrimmage= everyone plays, sometimes even out of position, in a game meant to be used to figure out rotations and plays prior to your season officially beginning, a game that doesn’t count towards your record, with no official stats kept.

A game- the best play to win in a game where official stats are kept and official score is recorded.

They can have the scrimmage win. It clearly means a lot to them.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
That would be impressive if you did know who my daughter is or who I am by anything on here. It doesn't matter regardless. I was just having fun. All I know about these two teams is what I have read in the Sun and Banner. Man Valley had a great season and have one of the best players in the state. Towson had a great year too but I think they lost in the finals. The MD public school system for playoffs is completely baffling to me.

But we agree ... scrimmages aren't real games and that's why they don't count on a teams record.

Towson beat ManValley in a scrimmage on March 15th. If you go to CCPSSCORES on Facebook Groups it will tell you everything in each sports in CC. Since it was a scrimmage it will not tell you the score, but for regular season and playoff games it will. ManValley also played MDSA and Hereford for scrimmages this season.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
Now that the season is over and this forum is dead, this is a fun question. If the private schools didn't exist, which public schools would be the best?

I'm thinking Dulaney, Catonsville, Herefrod, Mt Hebron, Marriotts Ridge, Glenelg, C M Wright. most of the already successful ones, but maybe Loch Raven or Perry Hall. Maybe Owings Mills.

I would have to say Dulaney across boy's and girl's lax would be tops. The school gets almost none of the top or top half of talent. There is always an occasional Sammy White but that is very rare. That said the girls team (and boys) always field solid teams. They would dominate (much like Severna Park) if they could deter a few kids from the privates. I would lump Towson in the same boat.

I think the surrounding counties do a good job of keeping a fair amount of talent. Especially HoCo, which not only has great schools but schools with great lax tradition like MR, MH and Glenelg.

I think Severna Park would probably go right to the top. And here's a fool one for you, Annapolis. Some of the best teams in the state in the 90s, early 2000s was Annapolis teams before it was basically automatic those kids go private like now.

They were not competitive in A. Good move if official. They will be more competitive in B when their talent transfers to A. They only have a couple high level kids and both at really young.

That is easily found on their website. Most people familiar with Baltimore lacrosse know who he is.

As for making a competitive B conference: Gerstell, Mercy, MDSA, SJCP, Park, St Mary's, Severn, Indian Creek and possibly JC. There will always be one or two dominant teams in A, B and C. And ones who lose a lot. But more competitive games at all levels should be the goal.

You are out of your mind. A decade ago, there was 12 teams in A conference, why do you feel the need to drop it to 10?

St. Mary's was a playoff team in 2021.
Severn was playoff team in 2022.

You want only Baltimore schools to compete in the A?

JC had 1 win in 2022, playoffs in 2023.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
Gerstell and Mds should be moved for sure.
A couple others the year after when the 24 class graduates.
Move the B winner up each year too to prevent B confernce dominance. Bottom in A drops down. A conference could add a Towson or MV and have a much better game.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
Agree.... that's a ridiculous statement. I also think Mercy played themselves into the A conference this year. (my kid doesn't go there, won't go there... no skin in that game). Lets not forget, many people actually choose a school because of the academics, fit and proximity to their home. There is a ton of talent across the conference. It's the best conference in the country and does all of these girls a major solid by playing by college rules. Not one rational reason to take that away.

Thank you for not answering my question. I see the coach’s name on the website. We are new to the area and considering Gerstell and SJCP. I know nothing about either coaching staff and would like the 411. If anyone can provide info through experience, it would be very helpful.

Annapolis for sure would be one of the tops in the state. I would also put South River, Arundel and Crofton in the mix from AA CO.
From Baltimore a dark horse would be Loch Raven (Along with Dulaney, Towson and Hereford).

I can't argue with her getting it but there are about 5 other girls in the IAAM who all would be solid choices. The girl from MV sounds like she would be a great choice too.

I don't know why you dumped on Mercy though. They beat a playoff team and they aren't the only IAAM A team that lost to a public school this year.

Lots of Iaam players would dominate the publics as well as MV girl.

Someone said mercy showed they belonged in A. I disagree as well. They beat a couple of perennial cellar dwellers in A that should have been moved down.

I think Severna Park would probably go right to the top. And here's a fool one for you, Annapolis. Some of the best teams in the state in the 90s, early 2000s was Annapolis teams before it was basically automatic those kids go private like now.

Annapolis for sure would be one of the tops in the state. I would also put South River, Arundel and Crofton in the mix from AA CO.
From Baltimore a dark horse would be Loch Raven (Along with Dulaney, Towson and Hereford).
Annapolis? As in Annaoilis High? Come on really? They barely have enough girls to fill teams. Annapolis would be at the bottom as well as the boys teams. Have you seen them play? Clearly that’s a NO

I thought Mercy played well this season. They held their own coming from the B division. I thought their goalie kept them in the game as well as the field players.

Coach of the year?

She won't get it but TC deserves it. She proved she can coach. Young team that got better as the year progressed.

The question was “IF” privates didn’t exist a school like Annapolis would be very good.

Goalie coach on that team did great job. Transfer was already good. TC needed to improve the whole team but focuses on handful of girls not every player.

Can't wait until the coach is chosen so we don't have to hear about TC anymore in this forum. She is not a good coach. Phenomenal player, best to ever play the game, yes. Not a good coach.

New coach will do that. TC left her with a heluva team

The new coach was announced at the same time TC stepped down. She was her DC for the last two years. I think the new coach will do well. She knows the team and has plenty of experience. She will get trashed on here by some and defended by others just like every other coach who does well in the IAAM.

I don't know why there is so much disdain for TC and so many saying she can't coach. 2019 - undefeated IAAM Champs. 2021 - lost 3 games including the finals to SPSG. 2022 - lost 3 games including the semis to SPSG. 2023 - lost one out of conference game then won 16 in a row to go undefeated in A conference winning the finals against SPSG.

Pretty good record if you ask me.

Those that say she can't coach are not part of the program. The adjustments she made during the season were fully displayed her knowledge of the game, ability to put players in the right positions and have the girls buy-in to the program... More importantly she went out on top with the players she hand selected and left the program in a great position to repeat next year.

Coach of the year will be Liberty coach
I do agree TC is a good coach

I think the discrepancy is in the definition of a “good coach”. If based strictly on dubs and knowledge of game, you have those with one opinion. If you want/expect a coach to care about your kid as a person, learn what motivates them and has the ability to make a connection and have fun, that’s another. I’d argue a good coach has the ability to do all of those things.

I'd add getting the absolute most out of your squad. So coach should probably be Liberty or Man Valley coaches. Winning the toughest conference in the country is obviously extremely difficult, TC has that going for her. But overall I'd go with Liberty or Man Valley coaches.

Why not Severna Park ? Liberty in weakest conference in state.

I think SP should also be in the mix. Both Liberty and SP played a few common opponents and each won by one goal (Broadneck, Westminster). Looks like Liberty beat Mt. Hebron by 5 and SP beat them by 1, I would not say conference is weak (Carroll County is stronger than AA), perhaps 1A state tourney teams but not controllable from my perspective. MV/Liberty/SP have good cases as does McD.

1A weaker than 3A yes. But Carroll County is absolutely stronger than AA. Liberty also won the battle of the champions tournament.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
Liberty has never won the Carroll County Championship, nor beat MV, in the time the coach has been there. With that said, I do feel the Liberty coach will get it based on 3 consecutive state titles, only 1 loss this season to an undefeated state champion, and doing it all with his wife battling cancer. He is very deserving, as are the other coaches mentioned.

Balt Sun final rankings - 3 for CC (+2 also considered) v. 2 AA (+0 also considered).That's one way to measure. Outside of Broadneck and SP, AA is weak whereas CC has MV, Liberty, Westminster, SC, and Century - with MV and Century joining Glenelg in the region of death of 3 teams that are almost always title quality.

Pretty close to being even I'd argue, even side with AACo given the bigger schools are better overall.

Carroll County:

1A State Champ beat 4A State Champ in regular Season.
2A State Champ beat Westminster by 14 at their place, not in overtime by 1. Beat 2 AA schools by a combined 39-3, including a Regional Winner (NE) 21-0. Also beat SR 18-3, a team SP gave up 13 goals to
3A Team lost to AA State Champ by 1 in OT
4A no teams, but the 4th and 5th place team in Carroll (2A Century & 1A South Carroll) would be a top 3 team in 4A and would challenge both Broadneck and Dulaney.

1A and 4A are, by far, the weakest of the 4 divisions. Severna Park is good, but i don' think AA has overall quality or quantity despite having 6 more schools. SP would finish top 3 in Carroll, Broadneck would be in a battle for a top 3 finish. No one else in AA would get within 8/10 goals of the top 5 teams in Carroll.

How many (if any) of the Carroll County teams would be affected if the county did allow students to go to any HS in the county? That is a HUGE advantage that no other county has. There are magnet schools in Baltimore County but not many kids are going to go to Hereford for 4h, Carver for the arts or Dulaney for HVAV.

Students are allowed to go to any school in the county, besides fully capacity Man Valley, as long as they can provide transportation. Many good kids in the FSK district end up at SC, Liberty, or Century.

With that said, no super team has ever been created and 99% of the kids stay at the school they are zoned for.

In addition - AA County has 14 schools, CC has 7. Carroll Co has won a state championship in girls lax in 17 consecutive years, AA Co in 5 consecutive.

Overall, CC has the edge.

AA County has much more diversity in population, half of those schools aren't really lacrosse "schools", per say.

Some schools in AACo are much more baseball/softball. That being said, doesn't change the fact that SP/Broadneck and in some years, Arundel, South River, Southern have elite teams.

Sure, you can give the edge to Carroll for reasons listed above, but Liberty beating Broadneck by a goal shouldn't be some major talking point.

AA is first having won 26 of the 93 State titles, They won their first in 1990, the first year there was a championship. This year was the first time AA has ever doubled up titles. Their longest title streak is 9 straight years
Howard is second with 25. Having doubled up only 1 time (2005). Their longest title streak is 13 straight years
Carroll is third having won 23 of the 93 State Titles. They Won their first in 2005, didn't win one in 2006, and have won at least 1 title each year 2007-2023 (17 years and counting). Including, winning 2 titles titles the same year 5 times.

From 2000 to today Carroll leads AA 23-19
From 2005 (Carroll's first champ year) to today. Carroll leads 23-15

4 of 13 AA schools have ever won a state title (SP 15 titles, Broadneck 6 titles, Annapolis 3 Titles, SR 2 Titles)

6 of 7 (6 of 8 if you count closed North Carroll) have won a title. Century leads with 9, WM/MV with 4 each, Liberty win the last 3, Westminster with 2, and South Carroll with 1.


If you go from the start of MPSSAA lax the edge goes to AA, but if you look at it from when they actually painted enforceable boundaries on the field, Carroll has been the leader.

At this point AA has 2 teams that are in the running (Annapolis and SR have fallen off the title path), Carroll has 5 (winters mill has fallen).

Absolutely. And CC has 1-2 of the 7 that are not really lacrosse schools, persay. Not sure if AA Co or CC won a state title in baseball or softball this year.

Most counties have some consistently good programs and every once in a while, a run of elite programs.

But for overall performance, 17 straight years of state champs is pretty persuasive. I am not arguing Liberty v SP, I honestly think they are very even and would be a great game. But CC is def ahead of AA Co, and I don't even live in either, so no bias, just a perspective.

Inside Lacrosse just posted the college women’s rule change recommendation. Many of these proposed changes came from Jen Levy. The rules were fine when she was going undefeated and winning championships. Her team lost several games this year and now she wants changes. When Northwestern beat them during the regular season, Levy complained about the rough style of play and almost immediately called for changes. Talk about a cry baby.

Yawn. Only way to grow the game is to change things up every now and again. Every sport does it.

Jen Levy proposed the bulk of these changes originally back in 2021, before her last Championship. I agree with most, but not all of them. I don't get the reduction to 11 players and also increasing the distance the defender is allowed to be from the opposing player inside the 8. Increasing the things that get you a 1 minute penalty should help clean things up a lot. I'm especially happy to see a proposed 1 min penalty for simulation. In either case, the game is getting too physical to continue playing without a helmet or pads. So if they want to keep the helmet and padless games, rule changes are needed.

Rules don't need to change officiating needs a refresher course. If the game is officiated properly there is no need for helmets or pads. The rules for women's lacrosse are not subjective. Call the game with in the rules. The one rule change I am all for is when carded the player needs to immediatley leave the playing field. So many players this year slowly walked off when carded. It's disrespectful

I don't see the reduction in players being approved.

"Rules don't need to change officiating needs a refresher course."

Correct. Some refs seem to forget screens cannot be approached from behind and a horitizonal stick is not allowed when setting a screen.

Also, loose goggles to draw a penalty should also be a YC. Same as unbuckled chin strap in football, it should be a penalty.

Good. Co-POY right thing to do since several others would have scored 100+ goals and controlled 100+ draws for Man Valley with that schedule (lefty attack freshman for Maryvale, as one clear example).

Get outta here. The Man Val girl absolutely deserved it and she's an absolute beast of a player. Not a MV or MnD parent either...but we play them enough!

MV played 6 games against the VSN/Baltimore Banner top 15, Maryvale played 5
MV played 8 games against the Baltimore Sun Top 15+others considered, Maryvale played 6. If you removed the others considered, MV played 4 and Maryvale 5.

Is the poll perfect. Absolutely not. But MV didn't play a joke schedule at all.

I will concede the depth of the IAAM, but when it comes to the players taking the draw and on the circle, the top publics have a ton of fire power. Many games the MV girl was against the other team's top senior going to top D1 and still dominated. She is a beast.

She is definitely very good. No way she has same stats with an Iaam team. Have to share the ball with better teammates and in my opinion the middle 3rd of Iaam would beat the best publics.
Publics would beat most of bottom 5 this year.

You shouldn’t comment if you didn’t actually watch Man Valley play. “She” had the most assist in the county and “she” did most her damage against top 15 ranked teams. I’m not saying IAAM wouldn’t be tougher but the Banner got this one right and I would be shocked if she isn’t the sole metro player of the year for the Balt Sun. Glenelg coach had nothing to gain by saying she was the best player they saw all year public or private and they played McDonough.

So Glenelg coach is the best evaluator of all ? I think she is outstanding too. Best player in CC by far. If she played at MCD she would still be outstanding. Just no way to score 5 goals a game vs better defenses and coaching schemes. I also KNOW that public schools are down in talent ! Each public has 2- 3 good players and rest are d2-d3 talent. The metro top 15 has cute little rankings too but I don’t think MV finishes in top 5 of IAAM.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
The Century, MV, & SC coaches have all been there for 10+ years at their schools, playing challenging schedules (including beating IAAM teams) and winning a lot more than losing. They all coach at top clubs, and the MV coach even was on ESPN last summer head coaching in the world championship. The Westminster coach is 2 years out of a top D1 school. The Liberty coach just won COY. None of these schools have teachers in the building or a parent from the community that are forced to coach. Their schemes aren't vanilla.

Little old Carroll County with their crappy grass fields, stadiums that smell of manure from the adjacent farms, average defenses, and simple coaching schemes produced 2 players on the US Gold medal team (defenders none-the-less). The HS coaches of these 2 are still at their respective schools. The best conference in the country produced 1.

There are also far less female students in Carroll County compared to the IAAM A and no ability to recruit the "best of the best."

Now would the top teams in CC win the IAAM. I highly doubt it, but they would absolutely make the playoffs. Carroll County lacrosse isn't Washington county or Calvert county or even Harford county.

I would love to see some CC teams on IAAM schedules next year. Hopefully, a couple of teams will be moved down to B conference and the A teams will be able to schedule more out of conference games. They are limited to 18 non playoff games and, with 15 teams, that means just 4 out of conference games. So it's hard to fit in all the games they would like.

Biggest issue is what rules to play by. Heard publics don’t want to play the shot clock and crease rules. Some public coaches are afraid of losses too as it affects home playoff seeding.

Not the case for all public schools, I can tell you some privates won't schedule a tough public school game. I know one school who tried to schedule mid tier A league IAAM and no one would take the game. MCD, SP, Maryvale can only schedule so many games and can't fit in everyone. All this chest pounding from IAAM parents is kind of amusing given the lack of willingness of some schools to schedule a tough public school opponent.

Then those coaches are holding their players back from playing the game that will be expected of them in college.

It’s because those privates are scared. They then turn around and schedule ABC , Visitation ,GC ,Stab or travel out of state trips to play other areas top teams. Glenelg and Centuey seems to get on teams schedule way faster than other publics. I’m guessing your coach isn’t asking the right privates.

I agree this is BS especially without any specifics.

NDP and McD both played Glenelg this year ... at Glenelg and without a shot clock. The three AA schools usually have SP or Broadneck on their schedules. With 4 slots for out of conference games, sometimes it probably comes down to trouble scheduling. The top IAAM teams always add nationally ranked teams whenever possible. Some agree to multi year home and away arrangements. It isn't about being scared. I would love to have MV or MR or Century added to some IAAM schedules. I have no idea how it happens but I assume it starts with the coaches and ADs. But the conference schedule always takes priority as well as any games on a Spring Break trip.

GCS plays Glenelg every year, Marriotts Ridge sometimes, and multiple public schools from all over in the public vs private challenge every year. And they play the public school rules when they do.

Sounds like JC. That game was always listed as a scrimmage. Not sure why it was reported to the league as an official game. It wasn't on the JC website as an official game.

RP losing to Towson mid season is more BS than the JC example.

The teams submit an official schedule to the league so they aren't breaking the rules. It is a rarity that teams would choose which games count based on results.

Public vs. Private in MD is not comparable. 2 different leagues, 2 different rules, recruiting vs not able recruit.

Both the Public and Private in MD is some of the best high school lacrosse in the country.

Scheduling games public vs. private is challenging because of start dates of seasons are different, # of practices required to have a game, when league play begins is different, NFHS Rules vs. NCAA Rules, # of game limitations...

Enjoy that your daughter gets to play some of the best HS lacrosse in the country.

These are all excellent points. Because the MPSSAA has a set first allowable play day, usually when the IAAM has already sdtarted league play, the only way around to match up is to make it a scrimmage. Some treat the scrimmages like games, many treat them like scrimmages and try different things out.

Please stop. Top publics can beat bottom and some mid A conference teams and thats it. Go to you coach and have them offer to play the top teams using college rules so there is no stalling.

Just because scores are reported on CSZ does not make it official. Some scrimmage scores are posted there as well. Go to the MPSSAA site if you want official records.

Relax people...it's tourney season. Good luck to all.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
I know it's club tourney time but with so many vacancies in the IAAM and the need to get coaches in place early, has anyone heard anything?

GCS - Chrissy Adair is taking over for PW.

GFS - I haven't seen any announcement from them. And I think she informed them early in the season she was leaving.

McD - MHN is taking over for TC. I heard they are looking for an OC. Have they found one?

St M - This was sudden from what I was told by a friend in Annapolis. Are there any good candidates?

And does anyone know for sure if Gerstell (or any other teams) were officially moved to the B conference?

It will blow up for the same reason it did about the Banner POTY. Public versus IAAM. It really is hard to compare players between the two. Different rules. Difference in strength of opponents. Depth of talent on a players team.

In the end, I'm sure every girl selected will be deserving. I'm sure all will be high D1 caliber players. The hardest locks will be goalie and defenders as usual. A great defender is often underappreciated or even noticed. An average goalie can look great when they have a great defense in front of them.

So for the most part the guesses were right on POY and COY. I was actually surprised to see the LHS coach get co-coach of the year with Cummings. But overall I think the sun got both POY and COY right. Congratulations to all the 1st and 2nd team All met honors players as well. Well deserved for all of them.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
I agree. Not many surprises and all deserved the recognition. I didn't agree with one of the selections on the 2nd team but I'm sure everyone will find fault with a few.

It's interesting that the Sun flip flopped what the The Banner did for POY and COTY. I think it would have been good to have co players and coaches ... one private and one public for each. It's just too hard to directly compare them unless one is far and away a clear choice.

Maybe they knew he was getting it for All Metro so they gave the CC nod to the MV coach?

"Good. Co-POY right thing to do since several others would have scored 100+ goals and controlled 100+ draws for Man Valley with that schedule (lefty attack freshman for Maryvale, as one clear example).[/quote]"



Lefty freshman didn't make any team. She sure wouldn't win POY. Cant see a freshman winning anything no matter how good she is. Could she have won? Maybe but no way a freshman is getting it. Kind of shocked she didn't make any team considering how well she did this year.

Serious question about gcs. I have a potential incoming student and looking at privates and this school makes most geographic sense for us. What is the outlook for this team given they’re graduating a large portion of their class? Any real insight or info is appreciated.

New Coach this year. They did not have enough girls for a JV last year and are graduating a large senior class, many of whom were major contributors. So it seems likely they won't have enough for a JV again next year.

Results wise, expect them to be no higher than 4 behind McD, SPSG, and MV. They have some talent in the starters but that's not nearly enough to compete with the top teams anymore.

So question is what happens after next year? Are they actively recruiting girls? Right now there’s only a handful of 25s and 26s according to their website roster…

Don't guide your daughter to a school based on lax. It's a big mistake and you'll almost certainly regret it. All recruiting takes place at her club. If HS school lax works out for her, great, but consider it icing on the cake. HS lax is a different beast. It's WAY more political than club, insane parents, worse play than club especially at defense(ignore anyone who says otherwise), and generally poor coaching, no matter where you go. Have her pick a school on academics and anything else non-lax that might be important like friends and commute.

Totally agree with all this and am considering private not bc of lax but athletics is a factor for her so it is part of our decision making. We don’t want to get her into a situation where a sport folds if that’s part of her desire during her hs years…
So is that what would/could happen at gcs? If so, this is part of our decision making in where she goes to school.

I agree with the decision making being based on more than lacrosse/ sports

But worse play?

and

Generally worse coaching?
Many club coaches are HS coaches

What makes club coaches better?
Just curious at your statement

I don't think it would fold but it would not be competitive after next year. There should be enough bodies to fill a varsity team, but talent wise they would struggle. And that is not to say those 25s and 26s all stay; I could see some transferring especially if this upcoming year is not good

Yeah, depends on HS, but most have reputable coaches, esp if talking IAAM.

Now if you are on a top-5 club team, yes, you'll prob see worse talent on HS team but a lot of girls on solid clubs will see better than in HS teams, given its four years.

The best thing you can do that resort to this forum is call the new coach and have a conversation about what she is doing to bring in players. She herself is a wealth of information in regards to the program and where it is headed, more so than an anonymous forum.

The coach is obviously going to tell them how strong the program is and all of the newcomers coming in. While there is plenty of trolling going on around here, the truth of the matter is GCS is in BIG trouble. They only have SEVEN girls below 2024 and NO JV team. I'd be seriously concerned (current players and potential future).

How do you know what she will say? Have you talked to her? Do you know her AT ALL? Doubt it. To the OP, make a call, ask the Coach the tough questions about the program, instead of listening to anonymous posters who have no clue about the person she is, the program she is going to attempt to build, the recruiting she is doing, nothing.

Gerstell is being moved to the B conference this year. They did not win any games in A conference this season due to multiple injuries and primary freshman and sophomore starters considering the small roster. Not saying they are a top A contender. Lots of talent in that conference! However, there will be little to no competition in B conference for them. They won handily against undefeated B conference champions St Johns 16-5. If they are looking to make the A conference smaller, may need to move a few teams down to get some stronger competition in B.

Is this a surprise? They didn't win an A conference game for 2 full years. Mercy was just elevated and won 3(?) games this year. Gerstell didn't have a JV and barely had any subs for the game I watched. I'm sure they aren't happy about his and they should roll through the B division. I don't think it's about trimming the size of the A conference.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
I'm curious if Gerstell for sure got moved down. If they did, that means the A conference teams can schedule one more out of conference game. I'm sure the coaches know by now and are working to add another game to what they had already.

Sounds like an issue with Gerstell. Can’t compete in A and too good for B? I’m sure some top players will look to move since they will be in B. They will never be deep enough to be competitive with too 75% of A.

Oh stop.

They wiped up on Broadneck (4a state champs) in a scrimmage earlier in the season.

Obviously they underachieved which is why they replaced the coach, but they have a lot of talent. Spalding will be good again in 2024, and have a top 2025 but I think St. Mary's I think the tide turns in once these soph and freshman are on varsity.

Not sure he has any idea how to recruit to a private school though.

The nasty comment was about how St Mary's can't beat the local public schools. The retort was pointing out it was factual incorrect.

I'd argue all IAAM A conference schools are "lacrosse" schools.

Speaking of IAAM, what is the rule for coaches and offseason workouts? I've seen two documents from IAAM with a 2 hour rule and a 3 hour rule, which is correct?

2 hours per week for the entire coaching staff combined. For spooky nook this weekend there shouldn’t be any IAAM coaches on the team sidelines, except for maybe one game, especially if any coaches were present at a practice this week. BMS is not even supposed to have their team name listed as “Green Machine (Bryn Mawr School)”

What exactly is the punishment if violated and how would that even be documented? I mean I get why its in place, just seems hard to enforce.

Also interesting, the HC, if they coach club, can't have more than 10 club players also on the HS team.

I think its out of respect to the physically and mental health of the kids. Multi-sport players for example may feel like they are missing too many workouts.

FOMO.. If your daughter is playing a winter sport, let them enjoy it. If they are not practicing on their own during the off season (While playing a winter sport), then LAX is not their primary sport. Which is OK.

This is actually not true. Its 3 hours a week and if the school didn't use the whole 3 hours then the coach can coach. Most don't because they want to save their hours of they've used them. Any coach that was coaching had it approved by their AD and the head of IAMM. Carry on and find something else to complain about.

Also, if its agains the rules, do you think a coach would be doing it openly in front of all their fellow coaches?

I can only make a conjecture... if you have all returning seniors, who are possibly free lancing, maybe its more valuable to use those hours differently. Maybe it's more helpful to just observe if they have a trusted assistant. I would guess if the coach is opting to coach, maybe they have a younger team and want to be a bit more involved early on, or they have a large number of 2 or 3 sport athletes, they don't use all 3 hours because they're in season- and its one of their first times together. Probably different reasons for different programs.

Ive actually seen two different IAAM documents for 2023-2024, one has 3 hours other has 2.

If you google "iaam 2023 handbook" theres a link. If you go to IAAM site, "About us" and go to handbook, different link.

Which HS was impacted the most by last years graduating class and which will be the most impacted by rising Soph. & incoming Fr? I’m guessing Maryvale with incoming and rising will be positively impacted. Manchester Valley will also be positively impacted. Any thoughts?

Maryvale, SPSG and GCS are the top teams most impacted by graduation of top players.

McDonogh, Spalding, and GFS had only a couple of starters graduate.

I don’t think anyone can predict the impact of unproven sophomores nor freshman who haven’t played a minute in high school. Most of these girls have only played against girls the same age. Some girls will be able to adjust to the speed, size and skill that they will encounter against the top IAAM teams. For most, it take awhile before they adjust and are able to make an impact. CR at Maryvale and KL at McDonogh were really the only two who jumped right in and had a major impact.

All of the top teams have talented players ready to step in but it’s usually juniors and sophomores who have had a season or two practicing and playing varsity already.

I’m just excited to see some great games this year. And who the next big names emerge.

completely different than an organized team practice.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Girls High School -
I don’t think camps open to and do include girls from any school are considered coaching contact. The rule appears to focus on limiting out of season school team practices, skill sessions, and film sessions/meetings. The coach can be involved in 3 hours per week of team activities. Teams could have 3 one hour practices a week during the off season and not be in violation. There is no mention of players attending open camps run by a coach or where the coach is an instructor so I don’t think any camp counts as a “team” activity.

At the end of the day, who is going to take the time to document this and report it? Unless someone is making off season practices mandatory and they are having multiple practices every week run by the coach, who cares? I have never heard of any team doing anything close to this. I’m sure some girls feel like captain’s practices are mandatory because they want to make an impression.

I don’t know why this was ever brought up at all.

Ha, fair point. I mean if you thought one coach was abusing the rules, either because your kid is on that team or because you play them, and you "don't care", I mean thats commendable but caring that maybe your team might get hand slapped for breaking them or rival getting leg up, and caring, don't think it makes you a "Karen" in the sense that Karens don't mind their own business and accuse without basis.

A bit random but it changes the subject.

MV still has EP. I’m sure she will be able to carry the younger players on her back.

The “lost seniors” excuse comes up so often. Every team loses seniors. Some lose more than others. That’s why you develop younger players on varsity and JV, so they can step up into those roles the next year.

Maryvale and Glenelg Country had a lot of girls graduate. It’s part of high school and college athletics.

I think the opposite - Spalding is over ranked this year. HC has promoted this senior class for years because most girls play for her club. Will be interesting to see how this year ends up under their leadership.

We all know that rankings are arbitrary and clearly they just used the standings from last year's season, but as the season didn't start yet and there is nothing measurable, it's fun to discuss. My thoughts below
#2 Mcdonogh (strong team again this year, very deep bench, but new coach)
#3 St Pauls (strong team again this year, very thin bench, strong coach)
#6 Maryvale (good team this year, young bench, great recruiting coach but no hardware yet)
#7 GCS (below average team this year, no bench- not even sure they can field a team, new coach)
#9 Spalding(good team this year, huge bench-not sure about talent,. good coach)


Biggest drop from top half of 2023- GCS will go from 11-3 to below .500
Biggest gain from bottom half of 2023- Bryn Mawr should finish above .500

Good quick observations and pretty much agree. Don't think GCS will have an issue fielding a team...THIS year (tough to build when you can't even field a JV team). Actually think they'll be decent, but middle of the pack in IAAM. But just goes to show, IL does ZERO research in making their polls.

Oh, so is it the player who should have moved to Defense but her parents cried to the press about discrimination when asked to do so? And they proved everyone else was right in the long run??

That is a 24 player.

The 2025 is committed to play field hockey in college. Still a very good lax player as well.

Pretty sure we're talking about two different players. Pretty sure the 25 had nothing to do with the media, etc. She's a very good FH player and still plays lax as well.

The 2024 who got the media attention is committed to Navy for lax so there's that...

Did she quit mid season? If no, her commitment is really only for the year she tries out. No shame in it at all from my perspective. Almost all of these IAAM girls are ridiculous athletes and they all let a sport go at some point in their lives. That doesnt deserve the scrutiny of some stranger on the internet questioning their commitment to whatever pursuit they have.

Lets try to keep our focus off of individuals and back to some fun cheering and jeering of teams

Do you really win or lose scrimmages? You're trying different players, combinations, etc. As long as it is competitive and you don't get blown off the field, I am not sure you can read much into the results.

All that I know is that:
GCS beat Stone Ridge 11-9
SPSG beat Good Counsel 10-4

Dont know how closer either were or if the teams were using starters or trying out new players.

Scrimmages are practices. Playing everyone to see how the new additions do in game conditions. It’s like predicting the Super Bowl based on pre season NFL games. The Ravens would have 6 rings by now if they meant anything.

Are you sure this was about McDonogh? From what I've heard, they kept a number of freshman players.

Was thinking it might be the random person who keeps posting about NDP because I know this was the drama there. Very good freshmen who are better than some older Varsity players were relegated to JV. There's something to be said for paying your dues, but ending up on JV roster based on grade and not ability with 30+ players is probably also a bitter pill.

Good coaches will keep freshman on JV if they dont anticipate them getting lots of game (or even practice) experience.

If you would make the top 15 of the rotation, then you should be on varsity, if not, no sense in being on varsity if you will just be standing around during games and practices. Effectively taking a season of lax off won't help going into club season.

If the coaches thought the freshmen were good enough to make a difference on V, they would have selected them. It's really that simple. [Censored] it up and let your kid enjoy JV and prep for next year, and stop worrying about what the coach does with the other players. Zero doubt you're sucking half the fun out of your kid's lacrosse experience and probably some of it for the other players too, because I'm sure the whining doesn't end with your post here.

Girls don’t get recruited through any high school teams. Just say she got recruited from a club even though the club didn’t help her be a varsity players. JV players usually end up low D1 at best because their skills and understanding of the game are behind others. Not because a coach kept her down.

Who's talk? The new coach is doing a lot of recruiting locally and beyond to bring girls in. They have the ability to board, great facilities, and it's a good school. There's no reason why this would be the last year.

She is getting new players but haven't heard of any 28s locally from the top clubs choosing GFS. Not to mention having half your team (maybe more?) as freshman and competing in the A division will be difficult to say the least. They will have a team the question is will they drop to B next year and for the foreseeable future?

People won’t pay $35k to go to a below average team. And yes lots choose cause of the sports. You also know the good middle school players locally will follow the wins too. Garrison will struggle after the 24s leave.

People really do say the strangest things on here. "JV players usually end up low D1"? What in the world are you talking about? And honestly, at the end of the day...D1 is D1 - an incredible accomplishment no matter where the school falls in the rankings. Unfortunately, there are too many PARENTS on here that THINK their child should only play top 20 D1 school...how sad. Once your child is in school and playing the sport that she loves (hopefully is playing for herself and NOT her PARENT0, you will realize it's about lax helping them pay their EDUCATION - so top D1 or low D! - it doesn't matter!

I don't know the coach or the players graduating or even if they have an up and coming younger team so I could easily be wrong here.
I know there have been many conversations and debates about A vs B vs C division and who should play where but I really do believe that you should have to have a JV team to be able to participate in the A division. Not fair to the JV girls who have no one to play

Know some 28s going through the HS process and Garrison was doing a ton of recruiting. There is definitely a push to build the lacrosse program and this supposedly includes money. Again, they can recruit from all over for girls who are willing to leave home (and parents willing to let them) to go to a great school where they can play in IIAM. But locally, girls have a lot of options for great schools with great lacrosse programs, and Garrison isn't currently top of mind for most.

Jesus- C2's been hanging her hat on this for 25 years. The reality is that she's been fired from (in no particular order) UMBC, SPSG and Arizona State (with a fun little lawsuit to boot.) She's never kept an assistant for more than a season (other than her husband) and ask anyone at her "club team" how organized or well run it is. But if you want to run into that burning building, by all means go ahead.

They lost Brian Reese. GCS only had enough players for a JV team when he was on staff. Prior to him there was no JV.

It’s also a numbers game. GCS is a very small school with appx 750 students from preschool through 12th grade. I have to think a lot of their sports have this issue. When your school is so small, if everyone isn’t an athlete or it’s not mandatory to play a sport, fielding JV teams is nearly impossible.

They'll be lucky to field a varsity team next year. Sad, but true.

Got to say this area is fool when it comes to HS Lacrosse. Moving here later in life and not personally experiencing this except for with my children, people are fool. Seems that it means more to parents being able to brag about their kids to others than what is practical or even what the kids want. Schools should be about education first. I have heard of kids driving an hour each way to school just for lacrosse, parents spending thousands just so their kid can be on certain team, parents wanting their kid on the Varsity team over playing time, parents picking certain private schools that only have Varsity so they can say their kids is a 4 yr Varsity kid and so many other things I can’t understand. Can people from this area explain why this is so important and has it always been this way. Where I grew up hard work, dedication and talent is what parents taught us about.

People do this for lots of sports and activities. Find a group that shares your passion! Gymnastics , swimming , football. It’s not your problem if a family decides what’s best for their kid. Go back to wherever you came from if it was better being average ! Going to a top private prepares kids to play faster in college. Top competition every game in high school. Lots of positives for hard working , dedicated kids that want to play the best.

I think the administration wanted to get away from the athletics push and rather focus on academics.

Seems odd, it can be both. But specifically, what changed? Reduced $$ for lacrosse players? Pay coaches less? Locality wise, it is in a great spot to grab Hero's M&D kids and even pick up some top Montgomery kids too.
During Covid, the school went ultra woke and turned off a lot of parents. The administration refused to listen to parents concerns or feedback. The girls lacrosse team wasn't the only program to suffer. The boys program lost about 10 kids mid-year to other schools heading into 2021. The boys barely fielded a team and went from B Conference runner-ups in '19 to a C conference team with about 15 total players.

Yes, but only after the politics have been negotiated.

Unfortunately, that is a true statement for some and too many are naive or chose to be naive about the politics

This could be the year of Archbishop Spalding. McDonogh without TC running the offense looks shaky at best. SPSG just plain lost a lot of talent. GCS just plain lost alot of talent. Maryvale lost alot and relying on one player.

Cmon McD has the BEST senior class in the country let alone the area. The other teams are one trick ponies and McD has it locked on every level...with or without TC they can't lose. SP might be 4th best this year and MV looks like the second best team and a team on the rise for a long time.

Agree this is a lock. Huge drop off next year

LOL! Dude, you can have the best senior class and not have the best team. McD does not have the lock if they are only winning games by a goal or two. Be real. Good luck this season.
