BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums MID-ATLANTIC LACROSSE MARYLAND FORUM Girls 2021

Yes they should.

Impressed with Monster. They played SW tough and beat them fair and square. I am surprised they lost another pool-play game. Ranking these teams is a fools errand. M&D is struggling without key players but they will eventually be back and as good as they were. Heros is also very, very good and will be a very formidable opponent going forward. YJ was impressive. They move the ball well and have several very good players. If you look at the total body of work, SW is the best team so far this summer. That said, there is still quite a bit of lacrosse left to play.

It will be very interesting to see what happens during tryouts. SW, M&D and Heros will all benefit as girls on weaker teams will look to join. Where does that leave teams like TLC and MD United? Will the girls that are on SW, M&D and Heros that are very good good but don't start look to move? There is a lot of talent in the greater Baltimore area at this age group. Is there enough to support 4 (or more) teams?

Yes they should. [/


MD United is full of "me first" players and parents. Don't go there unless you are a "me first" player or parent.

Do M&D and Heros have another tryout?

You can try out but you ain't making the team even if you're daughter is more talented. Rosters are set.

OK Cynthia, duly noted!

Crazy talent in Baltimore for the 2021 age group. SW, M&D and Heros very talented and well coached. TLC is talented but the program and coaching at this level is in complete disarray. The middle school program director for TLC just fired her second batch of coaches in two years. MD United and NEMS are tough.

Odd day in that respect. SW loses to Monster but crushes Dewlax, who then beats Monster? Monster had a tough time on the draw against Dewlax. That was a great win for Dewlax.

Truth!

I noticed that not every club is listed. It appears that the clubs have to submit results, so if the club doesn't send in results you're not ranked. Kind of destroys the ranking validity.

Yep. No YJ, M&D, Heros. No A, B, or C from any of those programs. Move everyone on that list (except SW) down about 12 spots, slot in the M&Ds, YJs and Heros teams and that list would then carry much more validity.

Elevate, leg e see and TGs
Numbers 2,3 and 4 in the country. Great list!

You did see that the list is based on 8/16 rankings. This isn't a current list.

SW gets it done when it counts. Very impressive.

As we move towards tryouts will US Lacrosse try to put pressure on clubs to adhere to age recommendations? Seems as though the topic has been brushed aside. I know there are several 2021 players with birthdays prior to 9/1/2003 on the top club team rosters.

No, nothing will change. Prior to their latest recommendation, USL recommended U-9, U-11, U-13 and U-15 and no one followed that.

They have no power to force clubs to change other than in their own tournament.

Every player on every team on 2021 was born before 9/1/2003. I think you meant 9/1/2002.

You meant to type 9/1/02, right?

Does that mean that they are all hold-backs?

Yes, here in MD most are.

Not hold-backs. You have your dates wrong. Here are the facts.

From US Lacrosse Website. The new rules state:

DOB
Born 9/1/2002 through 8/31/2003

Age Group
15U

Grade Affiliation
9th

HS Graduation Yr.
2021

So if you are born before 9/1/2003, such as 1/25/2003, you are supposed to be on 2021.

The original poster should have stated 9/1/2002 which would make you a 2020.

The beat goes on...

Great game. Let's hope all of the rest of them are like that.

Hero's is bummin.

It certainly does. I think it's official: M&D Black is no longer Top Dog.

What are the rankings heading into the last tourney of the year?

SW
YJ
M&D
Heros
Monster
?

Geez, I guess. Weren't they the #1 ranked BOTC team just a month ago??

Only lost to M & D by 1 today.

I would stick with top three with SW #1 and 2/3 could good either way until they actually play one another. After that could be any number of teams such as Hero's, Mass Elite, Monster and LI Liberty. The last three do not play enough events against the other four teams to get a valid sample but all very good teams.

Doesn't matter if they lost by 1 or 10. They lost. Poor showing.

MDU East beat Heros White. That should count for something.

I'm not sure if this post is meant to be sarcastic or not. Regardless, MD United doesn't even deserved to be mentioned along with these teams any more. They are now in the discussion of top B level teams. End of story.

1 SW easily
2 mnd when healthy
3 YJ
4 Heros
5 monster
6 not sure any others can beat these teams

Mnd when healthy = unicorn

That's silly. No one has beaten M&D's full team in over 2 years.

Tonight the SW girls all unfolllowed the M&D girls on social media at the instruction of their coaches. This comes after a weekend where SW dads thought it was a good idea to talk trash to 14 yr old M&D girls in the hotel lobby. No surprise that a SW coach was there in the bar throwing them down with the parents all night. Stay classy Skywalkers.

Every club deals with injuries. M&D isn't the be all end all like they were the past couple years. Still tough, but not as formidable as they have been. SW has their number.

We always knew MnD parents were the worst. Thank you for confirming.

No problem, you are still undefeated in the whining contests.Enjoy your summer!

Right because MnD parent spent the last 3 years gloating and talking trash to young girls. A lot of the girls on theses teams were friends. It's absolutely ridiculous the animosity that has been created this summer by the posts on here, on social media by the girls, the behavior at some of the games and the icing on the cake was the dad who said something to girls at the hotel this weekend.

If you think that is ok it explains a lot about the behavior of your parents. Apparently it starts at the top with SW.

mnd has been obnoxious since the first day. Funny how you guys act now that you are no longer the best. Whiners.
