Because 11/12B is U13...hence under 13 which is 11/12 years old

Zingos U15 Not good.

Did the 2022 Diamondbacks' coaches behave when the Cannons easily beat them at Beachlax yesterday?

Both Teams played well, coaches and players were well behaved, two top notch teams in the 2022AA Division.

Did the Hoco and NPYLL Champions play each other this weekend at any of the tournaments to definitively decide who is the best in Maryland and DC?

2019 FCA vs. Crabs
2020 FCA vs. Crabs
2021 Greene Turtle vs. Crabs
2022 Diamondbacks vs. Cannons
2023 Looney's vs. Bethesda
2024 Diamondbacks vs. Madlax

2019 FCA 0-3-1 at the Beach. Pee Yew.

All the crabs 2019 kids were playing for the 2020 this weekend so they did not

Reading this thread is like reading minor league box scores.

Sounds like FCA could've used a few holdbacks....yikes

FCA 2020 tied the Hawks, who lost to the Breakers, who lost to the Crabs. They also lost to Crush, who lost to the Crabs, so you can probably figure how that match up would have gone.

That's funny.

Did Roughriders bring in guest players, kids played great and have improved since 2-4 HoCo OR HoCo 2021A was just that strong this Spring? In any event, great showing for HoCo.

I just learned the term "Guest Player" this weekend. When a kid drives himself to a U15 tournament he may be a ringer. LOL

And your world will never be the same.

I wasn't being derogatory with the term "guest player." My cousins grew up playing lax on the Eastern Shore and they jumped on teams for OC tournaments all the timefor fun. When I've gone to tournaments when one sibling had to go but his team wasn't there, we've arranged for them to guest play as well. Again, all for fun.

I don't think you were, was merely referencing the hubbub in the Crabs thread.

Hearing about HoCo games is like watching the Minor League All-Star game. Mildly interesting for a bit, but overall meaningless.

2022 Cannons beat Diamondbacks 8-4 at Beachlax. They'll go at it again this weekend at Summer Exposure.

Diamondbacks bounce back and beat cannons 9-2 in summer explosure

Can someone explain how these HOCO 2019 teams that are playing in the Madlax tournament in a couple weeks are put together. There are 3 of them in the same bracket is there a A,B and C team? Just wondering from a VA guy.

Then Diamondbacks get beat by Breakers 7-3. 2022AA bracket at summer exposure very tough.

I think they were all at beach lax, you could check those results to see where they stand

Npyll 2022 champ got beat twice in the same tournament by the hoco 2022 champ.

Please. Diamond's just moved to HOCO this year bc they had to. Otherwise, they would be in NPYLL. As they just were last year!

Hoco champs sent one of Cannons best middies to the hospital early in the first rematch in the process. Diamondbacks are good, but Cannons not at full strength.

Why did they need to move??

9-2 win in pool play
8-5 win in championship game.

Breakers (2nd place NPYLL) beat Diamondbacks 7-3 in same tourney. Beatable on any given day.

Agreed, diamondbacks are beatable on any given day. Being the nerd that I am and looking over the summer exposure results/stats, it would appear that the game between Arden and the Breakers would have been an "upset" if Vegas was setting the odds. I know, this is youth lax forum and this isnt Vegas. I get it. Its just an observation, not trying to say anything positive or negative about either team. Having said that both teams are good. ;-)

Based on the head to head games versus common apponents:

arden vs igloo won 10-3
breakers vs igloo lost 1-4

arden vs cannons won 9-2
breakers vs cannons lost 4-5

arden vs hawks won 8-7
breakers vs hawks won 6-5

arden vs palm beach won 7-1
breakers vs palm beach tie 5-5


arden vs breakers lost 3-7
breakers vs arden won 7-3


Looks like Breakers showed up to play in the Arden game. I guess Arden was sleep walking against Breakers?

11 year kids kids sleepwalk sometimes. It happens. I believe Diamondbacks still won summer exposure.

FLASH!!!!
KLooney's 2020 wins VAIL, with OT win over FCA!!!

Wow. Lot of money to spend to go all the way out to Vail to play FCA.

They could have played on LR Blvd. and avoided 2000 miles and a host of garbage teams on the way to the big "Championship".

Its about the experience. Like how you waited till you were a Junior in college to have your first experience.

What experience is gained from beating 3d Texas Toast Ultimate 10-0? Their only competition came from two MD teams.

Said the guy who traveled 2000 miles for the $1.50 medal and still can't find any respect. Experience that.

Ouch!!!!

Any "national championship" played anywhere other than MD, NY, or PA is a complete joke and just and excuse to raise some cash from parents for the "experience".

I know the game is growing and competition is getting better, but 95% of the very best teams are still in MD, PA, and NY.

So please stop promoting all these tournaments in Colorado, Florida or some other area of the county as being "National Championships".

The very best team can simply not afford the extra $40,000 it takes to send 20 kids with a parent guardian on a plane for 3 days of hotels to go to every single "National Championship" you are promoting.

Any thoughts on the Diamondbacks merging with API?

2 fives don't make a 10. In this case its a 5.5
