Nobody cares about HoCo.

And we can beat every team in npyll so what is your point?

Can or have? Do not remember you beating Crabs 2020. In fact you lost again to them last week by 1 even after flying a FOGO in from Florida. Crabs plays classy - even with your style of play they still won.

Didn't you just lose to Crabs?

Lost again? Uh, that was the first time.

That rough riders team is coming together. They could surprise today. Looneys losing steam in MD

What a great game today. Looneys up 6-1 to lose 10-9 to FCA again. Twice in three weeks.

Team 91 Maryland coming in the fall

Not true. Rumors

Good luck with that. Welcome to an already overcrowded market.

I would assume they will only accept age appropriate kids, no holdback for the Lawn Gislanders

i'm sure they would draw from the top clubs in the area, program has a great reputation.

New sherriff in town. Crabs will be fine, they have enough hold backs to stay strong. Fca is on the upswing and will add to their teams. The rest out there, it will be a yard sale.

Wait, didn't Crabs and 91 just join the National Lacrosse Federation together? Now 91 is in their back yard? Has is that going to sit with RM? This should be interesting

Does 91 start up on their own , or does an already existing club merge with them?

They stole the jr Lizards team...,,

Won't be looneys. 91 thinks they are a bunch of crazies.

For sure buy/merge to get immediate scale. Did this in westchester ny when they expanded there

There was no jr lizard team. Saw jr lizard teams very embarrassing

May take them a season or two but I don't think they'll have trouble attracting talent, only so many kids can play for the Crabs and the rest of the clubs are very inconsistent grade to grade.

Long Island staffing or local staffing? Pull the non-starters from the good clubs? It will take a while to be competitive! Too many clubs now in the DMV.

Staffing will be key, need to minimize daddy ball. While there are lots of clubs the quality falls off pretty quickly once you get past the top 3-5. A lot of that is coaching or lack thereof.

They also have brand recognition, this isn't another pub club. Anyone who has played tournaments for the past few years knows who they are already.

not a rumor since they have something on their website and apparently had a tent at NCAA games at Navy. BTW - they have plenty of dads coaching the current teams. wonder where they'd set-up camp. Balto, annap, dc suburbs? not so easy to even find fields to rent with so many clubs, lax and soccer...

which is why they will probably merge with some already established club. they will reply on said club for their connections to filed availability as well as a pool of players to form teams.

speculation which club would sell or merge with 91?

Just like Team United (with Marechek) and 3D Select (with Brooks) tried to crack the MD club scene a year or so ago - and look what happened to them.

I would guess that Rock would be willing to join forces. Rock is excellent at the older ages. Rock was all set join with Madlax until Cabell sent that disgusting email to one of his former players and Rock realized who they would be dealing with.

I can see them setting up camp in Annapolis to work some of Brian Spallina's (#91) connections from when he was a Bayhawk. Or possibly in Howard County - I believe Brian has some family in Ellicott City.

91 won't merge with anybody else. They have a great reputation in the club scene, go to any tournament they are at and their top teams normally win it.

Don't see either of those scenarios playing out. They are going to have to pull from the top clubs, there are none in Howard county and only the Hawks in Annapolis.

Rough Riders would probably get hit the hardest if they set up in Howard County, but I really don't think they can come in and make an immediate impact, regardless of their reputation on Long Island.

don't see them hitting the Howard county area, they will set up shop in the Baltimore area. Pull players from the Looney's and FCA second teams and probably kids from Crabs who don't see much playing time. People will be attracted to the full program they offer your round.

I'm up in New [lacrosse] and my nephew plays for the north carroll youth lacrosse program. it's his second year. just looking out for him Nd wanted to know if it's a good lacrosse program

Don't think they will be limited to pulling from second teams - many first team kids may be looking for a new home especially the younger set who are not quite high school age yet. Also depends on who they bring on to run the program locally and the recognition of that name and the coaches. Hopefully, there will be at least one coach per team who is not a daddy coach and who will be a professional coach especially for the kids approaching high school age. People do not want to pay club fees for daddy coaches or coaches that just moved over from Rec programs.

I bet they are a top 3 club in Baltimore next year. It's going to be interesting to see how this plays out over the next few months.

For that to happen they would have to pull some of the better players and coaches from Crabs and FCA, at every age level. Seems like a tall order in one year....

Got it FCA dad.

Looney's SHOULD sell if offered. That club is about to fall apart. No good teams and the best kids have been leaving in droves.
