I actually think Looney's looked good but just had some sloppy stickwork at times. A few dropped passes in unsettled situations and the outcome vs. Express and/or Legacy might've been different.

There was sloppy stick work and dropped passes on both sides. They lost to both teams. Stop with the excuses.

Time for those 2020 Looney parents to start looking for greener grass....or would that be greener astro turf

What's difference with Looney's 2021 Orange and Green teams? Both play Hoco 2021A. A and B teams or pretty evenly split but only Orange has some older kids? I saw GT beat Orange 17-6 and Green 9-4.

Give Sons our fogo and they destroy both express and legacy. I watched both games and Sons controlled the game just couldn't win face offs. Express first 4 goals were on fast breaks off face off. It was worse vs Legacy, Sons had the ball the entire first half. I think legacy had 2 ground balls, both in front of the crease for goals. Sons need to go find themselves a stud fogo and they will be very tough to beat. They get after it.

I wouldn't read too much into this weekend. All of these teams will play each other again later in the year. We'll know by the end of the summer who has what. Having said that there is clearly more competition at the 2020 year than last year which is great to see. After all,that is how the boys get better.

Ridiculous post - Sons has never beat express and it's not because of face off differences.

Pretty sure a sons person posted that since looneys was long gone when sons played legacy. Pretty weak sons...

Maybe they made a mistake and put 2021 Green in 2021A division instead of 22 Orange who is in 2022B. Seems they should have their top teams in A and lower teams in B.

Really, i'm sure no Sons parents posted this. This is someone just throwing unneeded fuel on a fire that doesn't exist. I know our coach and Loonies coach are close. Stop the drama, it was a great day, great teams, and some great lacrosse. ugh

Most of the good FOGO kids are accounted for. It may be easier for you to hold back a few more 2019 boys to get that win. Good luck.

Add one from out of state like looneys did. They are always one step ahead on their thinking process.

C'mon dude. Just a matter of time until daddy ball takes over with this team as well. Its in the DNA. One step ahead? TOO MUCH.

Right. Looneys is always ahead of the curve. Funny I didn't see them in the National Lacrosse Federation announcement.

I would have to agree.

The Long Island teams (express and legacy) held there own down here last weekend. Looneys extremly sloppy with a lot of unforced turnovers. FO kid much better than express kid. Left him in the dust multiple times. Sons solid but do need a FOGO. Bucks needs a lot of work and help. Legacy middle of the road- some talent there but some glaring weakness. Crabs will beat both Long Island teams handily- no question. That fl$ team sucks! They need to start over.

Looneys need to start over as well. Sons are cheaters! Will do whatever they can to win. Crabs should win, they are stacked with holdbacks as well.

I have to agree with all above.

U have to chase the hardware.

Looney's had a great 2015 team and an excellent 2016 one (at least for a while). Besides those two teams, the club is terrible.

2020 is one of the best in area. 2023,24 off to good starts. Like most clubs they have some years better than others. For any individual team, whether elite or not, if the kids have a great experience than kudos to kids, parents and coaches. Why someone would feel the need to anonymously characterize groups of kids as terrible is beyond me.

Many good Teams still. Crabs is good at every year. Outside of them looneys is the same as any other club in Baltimore

The system is very clear with all travel youth sports. Start with the biggest and oldest programs first. Try to make them first. And then go from there until your kid makes a team. The worst thing you can do is go for the new upstart club. They never hold up. And even if that club can have that one team that is really good they never can keep it up with the younger ages. The next trick is the club should have as little Parents involved as possible. Look for the club to be linked to a big private school,store, or something that does not say I got my son and I am building this so he has somewhere to play. I agree new clubs do work out and become great clubs but you only have so many kids is the risk worth it?

Because the adult has no life

That's harsh. Not a bad guy. May have lost the focus or chasing something he missed.

Lets just teach and play ball. It will change every year

Big game Friday night. Fla flying in for bragging rights at 2020. Crabs vs looneys.
Then again FCA beat looneys.

2020 Crabs are strong. Unfortunately this Looney's team is on the down swing. Crabs 12, Looney's 7.

it will be closer than that but it will happen. Crabs gets one here.

And rough riders beat FCA but were beaten easily by Looney's. One game does not mean anything.

Looney's are losing steam. Crabs will dominate with older boys tonight.

I agree, I am here and am not impressed at all.

Crabs 6 Looney's 5

With who? Crabs? The fact that Crabs have at least 8 holdbacks and can only beat Looney's by one?

Times r changing. Fca and now crabs.

Fun game to watch under the lights on a Friday night. The score could have been much higher -- hats off to the goaltenders on both sides!

Yes, both goaltenders looks great.

Looney's FOGO was good, but not lights out good. From what what I saw the Crabs won their share too.

Fca is not there. Keep trying

I think some of the Crabs 2020 players drove themselves home.

Who where the strongest players on crabs 2020
