How many?

Keep crying. Looney's is a 2nd tier club sliding fast into mediocrity.

Have you SEEN the Looney's 2017 team play? They are like the Keystone Cops.

So it it the same Looneys 2020 team or did they add some new players?

Added players

The players added do not seem the same caliber as the ones that were already on the team - where did the players they replaced go? Heard of two defenseman who were leaving because they do not get much action because of the Flogo. A risk of bringing a fogo in for youth lacrosse on good teams- the team does win but the field players get bored.

The players added were all talented players , they will fit in well and contribute.

What tournament did Looneys 2020 win this summer that Crabs also participated in? Winning Lax Splash and winning Young Guns when Crabs and 91 were in Denver doesn't mean anything. You played Roughriders in the semis for god sakes at young guns.

Didn't Crabs beat Looneys when they played this spring? Without any 2019s playing down

Considering 2023 lost one of their coaches and a quarter of their team to Crabs, we'll see about that. Pretty sure the 2 best players on Looneys 2023 are now with Crabs

Where did the players they replaced go?

I heard Looney will not have a 2018 or 2017 as not enough kids tried out. May combine the teams. Any news?

YOU ARE RIGHT..Looney's need to learn to play BMORE style.
Bench loyal kids and bring in guest players...move kids down for big games...that's how you win games...right FCA and Crabs???

FCA played kids up...several '20s played on 19 team...is that a problem with the weaker clubs as well?

Wouldn't shock me. Both teams are simply terrible.

Looney's beat a very good Canadian team TWICE to win Young guns
I think they beat Crabs..In spring Looney had several injuries..
They don't play games with their starters..

Weird - FCA had some 2019s play down on 2020, and several 2020 AA play 2020A in Youngguns - guess you never know what you'll get...

You may think they beat Crabs but you'd be wrong. Looneys had not beaten crabs in 2015

YES...correct.Looneys beat Canadian team who had just beaten crabs ..Looneys was a much better team as season went on..and NO injuries.

they did beat them in the fall 2014, which is part of the 2014/2015 teams. Looney's also beat Legacy TAZ and LI Express Terps.

Fall results are meaningless. Most teams are not complete.

what team is your son on so we can point point out how meaningless it is when his team has success in the fall?

Fall is just as meaningless as summer. Some kids are out on vacation. Guest players are everywhere. Fields and refs can be terrible at most tournaments. Spring leagues are really the only true measure.

Spoken by the person whose team doesn't do well in tournaments!

Didn't win the spring league? Chin up. You'll get them next year

Time to drop lax and play golf??

Looneys= death spiral?

HAHAHAHAHA....you wish

Looney's 2015 = excellent

2016 = great

2017 = awful. One of the worst in the area.

And it gets worse. That club is about to fold.

how so?

It's obvious you are the same person posting over and over about how bad the 2017 team was. Why do you care so much and what purpose do you have to bash a team that apparently doesn't exist anymore? The guys who run Looney's know there are a couple of lost grads years due to the emergence of FCA. 2020s are as strong as any area club. 23s & 24s strong for just starting out. Not all clubs have world dominance as a mission. Like most other clubs some grad years will be strong, some weak & others in the middle.

This is what happens when you have a club run by a bunch of dads, many of whom coach their sons.

which clubs don't have parent coaches in balt? even crabs have some dads lurking in the background.

They beat them by cheating using 2019 player

Thanks to all DADS for all they do.....who are you kidding...get real..
Call your doctor soon!!

Here is the deal. All you people, especially you modern day lacrosse guys that scream daddy ball, lets define that better. There is nothing wrong with daddy coaching as long his son is either really good or the coach has an honest evaluation of their son and plays it appropriately. Most of the people I hear scream we don't hire dads is for one reason only. They don't have kids yet!! Its the 20/30 yr olds that have this disillusioned idea that lacrosse is some special sport where you had to play D 1 to coach. Get over yourself. Most you D 1 gusy suck at coaching.

A lot of Crabs coaches have sons that play for Crabs. For the most part though, they don't have the parents coaching the team their son plays for. Looney's could do the same, but I believe that almost every team is coached by the father of a player on the team. And no dad has an honest evaluation of their son.

Not doubt coaching your kid is difficult. Some are better than others at being realistic about their kid's abilities and managing kid/coach/parent dynamic. Personally I see many dad coaches at Looney's and other programs in the area that have prerequisite experience, passion for teaching kids & dedication while appropriately coaching their son.

That's funny. The coach who left is a ding-dong. Good luck with that.

Don't get me wrong. I completely agree about him. But the truth is, they lost most of their better kids, including the goalie to Crabs. Ding-dong isn't the head coach, so hopefully he stays in check this year.

Part of the problem with Looney's are the parents, especially the white trash from Bel Air.

Don't forget those freedom peeps.
