BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums MID-ATLANTIC LACROSSE MARYLAND FORUM Boys 2022

What the [lacrosse] are you talking about? What older kids are going to show up? The same kids that have been playing will be playing in the playoffs.

Seems like some games the older boys don't show. All depends on opponent.

You know. Don't be soooooo shocked.

That does not really even make sense and it sounds like conjecture on your point. If you are so convinced that is the issue that you are willing to taint 6 th grade boys on a forum, simply ask hoco for the roster for the team you are playing but would also expect you to apology to both the teams you are worried about openly. No kids could be added after the start nor can they be dual rostered and very easy to check to roster if you are willing to do that. Thinking you are blowing steam now to set up for complaining when your son's team gets beat.

Enough with holdback stuff--just create your own forum if you want to explore this topic ad nauseum.... I would prefer to focus on the prospects of Team 88 + 3 winning HOCO!

They have a chance with all of the hold backs

The bottom line is 2022 teams are packed with good teams . It's a very tuff league this year so all teams will be good for summer tournaments . We should support all Maryland teams for summer tournaments . The talent is good and we should be happy because the kids only get better with good talent .

Stop posting about it and challenge their roster - they will have no problem with you doing so and it may keep you quiet for a few years. Very easy to ask Hoco for a copy of their roster and it has the DOBs and grades of each boy. They are a team with nothing to hide.

I agree many good MD teams. And many good on age players too. I do wonder about the NY teams coming down here to MD tournaments with their grade based teams. There starting school cut off age is DEC 1 if I remember right.

Might be hard for them to swallow getting beat by teams much older then them. Especially teams with kids that are heldback, which could be older by over a year or at least 4 to 8 months.
NY teams were usually a little younger than MD when NY went by grade and Md teams by the U?? . Wasn't that big a deal due to little difference in age and NY usually brought good teams down here. Will be interesting tho to see what they think.

If this board is any indication...It wont be a good reaction to playing against Holdbacks!

2 maybe 3 top teams at this age then everybody else.

Hawks were upset by RR in MPLL playoffs

Great games for this weekend

DBacks. Vs. rough riders 9:30 St Paul's Championship

Hoco
Crabs vs mad lax capital Friday night 8pm. (winner plays Hawks )
Hawks vs 3pm game
DBacks vs Team 91 3pm game

Sunday 6pm championship

I guarantee you that Crabs has played with the exact same roster all spring and will have the same kids in playoffs. I have heard that Team 89+2 brought a few kids in from elsewhere(Texas) for the Crabs game. Didn't see those kids at the 3D game yesterday

So would you like to discuss the "guest" players that were there for one game this spring?

Madlax over Crabs; Team 45 + 46 over AP; Madlax over Hawks; Team 88 +3 over Madlax

Again, ask the question to Hoco and the other coach to determine if all your complaining is accurate. I am sure you have the details about what you claim happened but more than likely you are wrong. If you feel strongly a team did something wrong and it is not just wishful thinking or hearsay, than by all means ASK as this is ridiculous that you keep trying to chip away but have nothing substantive to bring forward. Sounds like sour grapes and making excuses.

I guess the Team 44*2+3 parents don't want to discuss the "guest" players that came to town for one game a couple weeks back. Wonder if those kids were even on their HOCO rosters. I doubt it. Was nice to see the "guests" being introduced to their teammates and shaking their hands before the game.

101 - 10 will rise to the top with or without guest players!

Team 4,000,000-3,999,909 will do whatever it takes to win. If they don't, then they will have the rules changed

Crabs>Roughriders>Hawks> over past week.....

Team 273 divided by 3 will not be a factor--look for winner to come out of Madlax/crabs/Hawks group...

AMEN

Crabs aren't in MPLL. You're mixing up leagues.

Roghriders beat Hawks on Saturday in MPLL....Crabs beat Roughriders on Sunday in HOCO....

Great Competition this year with good teams and coaches. Crabs, Api, Ninetyone, Hawks, Madlax and even RR. Hard to go undefeated with all good teams. Most of these teams have now played each other at least once.

Crabs have not faced API or Hawks this year yet.

Hawks are teetering. I bet it got real tense after they lost this weekend. How many more practices got added this week? How much film did you watch? Who is getting benched? Panic and overreaction always set in there when they lose

Stop troll. None of this is happening.

DB will win. Stop naming 3 teams and leaving them out. Dream land

I'm sure some are in panic mode. Told you they added some good players but not great. None are real difference makers.

Hawks? Get real

Wow... whose kid got cut or didn't make this team? I've always found this group to be a nice bunch. Go away troll. Focus on your own team. Everybody loses sometimes. They are 12 after all.

DB only team in a position to win both leagues.

why would anyone post this about a youth sports team? I know nothing about the teams discussed but to write these things anonymously is chicken little and says more about you than the Hawks.

2022A winner should play 2022AA winner to determine the best of the best. Some teams in the A division could compete with those in AA. Some have already beat those in AA in previous years and would do the same this year. Just wait til the summer tournaments come and some of the proclaimed elite clubs will be humbled.

What team's parents choose to wear a lanyard with their son's picture, name and number around their neck at a u12 lacrosse game? Who does that?

For example? Since you obviously have something in mind? Remember... teams change from year to year.

Good for you! I hope if someone else were in this position you'd be able to be happy for their KIDS too.

Did this happen? I must know. What team?

You can't be serious. Name me one A team that could come close to beating any of the 5 playoff teams in AA. Club Blue is in first play in A and they went winless in NPYLL last year. And three of their best players left and went to Crabs. What a ridiculous statement.

Keep in mind there was a merger of 2 leagues this year into HOCO. Coaches took a best guess approach to place their teams in the proper division. Some guessed right and others guessed wrong. Summer tournaments will iron everything out.
