Use this thread to discuss the Boys 2022-9th Grade Fall 2018/Summer 2019 Season

Tryouts are right around the corner. Which teams will see significant movement?

Looneys 2022 shutting down. Can't find coach. Where are these kids going?

LaxWorld Merging with Greene Turtle. Are most going to GT?

will be interesting to see what the 2022 kids playing on 2021 Koopers do. Have heard the player going to Calvert Hall is going to FCA, Heard the 2 twins are going to Crabs. They have 2 good goalies. Will some kids who have been with their clubs for several years move because of where they attend HS?

Looneys kids going to koopers

Is Koopers fielding a joint AA team with Dukes again?

What is happening the MD91 team? Is MM still going to coach the team?
Gd

Why would he?? Kid is 2023 now. There is NO doubt that it is where he will end up. Wonder if MM will follow him thru HS and College as coach.

Mass exodus of the 22's and 23's; MM is a cancer. 23's going to Koopers, MM son and a few others are coming down to 23 for the Spring and I can tell you know one on the 23 Team is happy about that!

What is worse, getting MM and his son or two season and literally no wins.

What is going on with Hawks and API all going to the same high school? The two teams merging? Hawks HC coaching the JV?

Man. It must be bad. All current 2023 players were invited back even thought the team is winless in two seasons at elite, but rumor has it many are going to Koopers, which played in the B championship game?

Thats not very good choices to choose from !

I think the answer is to swallow your pride and play AA at 2023. To have MM and his 22's come down to play at the 23 level is an absolute nightmare for anyone on the 23 team currently. This team has gotten better but needs to being playing at the AA level in order to be competitive.

So 91 2022s drop to 91 2023, and 91 2023 goes to Koopers 2023? And Looneys 2022s fo Koopers 2022? And the Koopers twins playing up on 2021 don’t drop back to Koopers 2022 but go instead to Crabs 2022? Did the Looneys 2022 coach resign or is he also returning to Koopers?

Sounds like " As The World Turns " soap opera

So grand to have MM son at our fine institution of higher learning. Oops he is being held back to 8th grade. McD is pathetic and so is that plan of action. Defining oneself by lacrosse is sad and baltimoronian.

Spalding will be really good next year

Why is Looneys 22's folding ?

If thats where he is going. It will be interesting watching Head coach of McD and MM interact over the next few years. What are odds that MM gets a coaching job at McD or at least attempts too.

Will win MIAA

Better Hawks and API players went to either dematha or St. John's

He has 2 sons

McDonogh can't afford another scandal in the athletic dept. That would be a bad move.

Best hawks 2022 player went to Landon

At St Paul’s last year

I've heard that Landon picked up several really good rising Freshman from Crab's, Hawk's and DCE. It will be interesting to see how things shake out come spring.

Reclassing and headed to McDonogh.

A few years ago he was a Gilman assistant coach

Twins are not going to Crabs. Not sure where that is coming from. A bunch of Looneys kids will try out for Crabs. If they don't make it they'll go to Koopers.

Why did Looney’s fold?

Are you saying they will win the MIAA Varsity because of the 2022 API and hawks class coming in?
maybe JV

JV this year easy... Next year playoffs MIAA Varsity... Following year MIAA Champions ..

Exactly. Thats why I am wondering if he applies for some assistant coaching position. Everyone has heard the stories of his favorite player and the rest of the players. He hasnt let anyone coach him besides himself. Look at armor on his arms. You can only protect them so long, eventually they need to fly solo.
Reclassing always helps..but will it be enough !

MM is typical of what you are seeing in the parents who obsess over lacrosse. Especially the ones that did not do a prefirst. Once they get to 8th.. If they cant standout or are average player..Only one choice. Most of time more practice wont get it ... Its .Holdback/reclass... MM isnt the only one doing it either.

Unfortunately with travel so easy for tournaments. All the regions are seeing what the players on Eastcoast are doing with prefirst/reclass.. South, West ,etc are reclassing in 8th grade now on huge numbers.

Clearly you've never coached or even played on an A Conference championship team at the Varsity level. If you had you wouldn't be pontificating...in other words its really tough to take a perennial cellar dweller and win a championship much less make the semis.

Watch out for a sleeper team coming out of nowhere to dominate JV this Spring. Will go undefeated.

Blah blah blah!!!! Best Hawks kids going elsewhere. API adds nothing try again.

Is one of the Hawks goalies really a 2023 grad year? Will he drop down to the 2023 Hawks Team this year?

Someone is jealous !!

Where else is he going to play when the other boys are playing in high school?
