Sons are going to Crush the Crush!

How did that work out for ya? Yeah I thought so ....

It was a holiday weekend and Valentine's Day. Do these kids ever take a break? I feel bad for the parents and the kids no one earth plays this much lacrosse or any sport? Not make no excuses as to why they lost but come on...

Loser club that folds it's own teams.

Yes. The 2015 team was very good as was the 2016. The 2020 team is very good. The 2017 and 2018 teams were awful and the club kicked those families to the curb.

The rest of the club is hanging by a thread.

Very true, no loyalty at all. I guess they couldn't find any one to fly in to play for those teams.

Crabs 2020 beat Looneys easily in the fall. The Looneys will never brat that team.

Crabs 2020 team is really close to a 2019 team and there is no way you can deny it. Their starting 10 are all holdbacks and they even have 2 players who are double holdbacks, will probably be close to 16 years old this summer. This is the way cheating Ryan Mc plays the system. Crabs played Looney's once this past fall and only beat them 8/6 and you are completely wrong, they did not have an easy time doing it. Not too bad for a team with maybe 2 holdbacks compared to Crabs lineup of holdbacks. Crabs 2020 team should and needs to play 2019 where they will get their heads handed to them. Don't come on here bragging about how great Crabs 2020 is, EVERYONE knows how they cheat and game the system. And the sickening part is that it is people/parents like you who feel good about it and feel they have a great team. Just watch other strong 2020 AA team coaches and see how they coach/treat their players and then watch the butt head Ryan M coach. Yup, you will quickly see, he doesn't know how to coach, has a low lacrosse IQ, thus the need for ALL the OLDER players. Oh, and their 2021 team is almost as bad with the large number of holdbacks.

The 2020 Crabs team should play the 2019 Crabs team. I have a feeling that the 2020 team would win that game.

Score was 6-4 andnit wasn't th close. Ctabs have 4 holdbacks. Same as Looneys

Probably because the Crabs 2020 team is really older than Crabs 2019 team. Ryan Mc just keeps the crap rolling to his advantage. Would love to see some organization/group/authority knock him down a few pegs, make him play within the given guidelines.

Looneys 2020 and Crabs 2020 are both very good teams. All of their games since they first played have been within 1 or 2 goals. Both teams would probably be ranked in the "pre-season" top 3 nationally, if there was such a ranking. The Hoco 2020 AA will be a "mini" version of the MIAA A conference -- lots of terrific teams beating on each other each week. Cant wait for the action to start!

I believebut was 5-1 or 6-1 before the Looneys scored some goals late. It wasn't close


But yes, Crabs and Looneys are 2 of the 3 best in the country
But Looneys can't beat Crabs

I don't believe Crabs had that much of a lead at any point during the game. Looking at Looney's players they look 13 and 14 years old. Looking at Crabs you can easily and clearly see they are older, most 15 and some approaching 16 by summer 2016.
So, as you say, they can't beat Crabs, you never know but it is clearly a much older Crabs team, deny all you want but it is simply the truth. Ryan Mc games the system and creates these older teams for one purpose, to win, especially this year, the 2020 team, because he is the head coach. Take away his older holdbacks and this team would not be a strong 2020 team and Ryan Mc would have no idea how to improve their play, other than to bring in older players. I have seen him coach quite a few times, never impressed. I do not know the man, do not want to. What he is doing to youth lacrosse is shameful and he is driven by ego and money. Would really like to see someone put a stop to his gaming/playing the grade base system but not sure that will happen any time soon.

It wont stop as the private school mania in Baltimore rules. And USL is a complete JOKE.. Frankly I wonder if USL is run by a bunch of parents with kids in Private school who have been held back.

You never know. Or maybe Ryan Mc is a majority silent partner in USL, three layers down, out of sight.

USL Board are spineless cowards. They couldn't manage their way out of a wet paper bag.

I agree.. For the supposedly governing body of Lacrosse to stay SILENT on this issue just shows what cowards they have at leadership positions. Anyone with any decency knows that YOUTH sports should go by age. All other major youth sports are. They have such cowards at leadership positions I dont ever remember even seeing one article, blog, etc coming out of USL about this issue..But they have stances on many other issues that effect youth lacrosse.

Where did you hear that from about Looney's at 3D? Just curious.
What is "baked in"?

Doesn't hurt to have a certain announcer part of your team now.

Came from rough riders. We all know it's about
