Not sure of those rankings. BLC went 2-1 and beat T91. Only losing to Taz.

It's just not that important. Although 91MD beat Madlax by 3 two weeks ago(for the first time), with the big middie on the field, although they were missing 19 and I believe a few other kids, which is normal in the fall. 91MD had missing kids this past weekend and it has an impact. It was a great tourney, and should be a heck of a spring.

I really don't know of any decent MD team that cares anything about loading up around the 4th of July and flying to the middle of the country. It's not a hold back thing, I believe no one sees the value in this money making racket. The spring season in MD is incredibly challenging week in and week out and the summer tournament circuit gives everyone a chance to play new teams from Philly and LI. What's the real point in going to Denver, they're 6th graders?

This is all rather silly and meaningless, and I hate to burst 91MD's bubble. But the 91MD game against Madlax was basically Madlax's B team. Alot of the Madlax parents were complaining that they were going to miss other sports over the four weekends. So to appease those families, the owner told everyone to skip the T91MD playday and focus on the real tournaments (which Madlax won all three). When Madlax played 91MD and Looneys, Madlax was missing its three best attack, and four of its six starting middies (the first and second lines). Nobody can win at this level without 7 of their starters. I agree with you that T91MD would have done better on Saturday against Taz, if it had had its full squad. But to bring up the Madlax win as validation of T91MD's status as an elite team is hypocritical and pointless. I've got a lot of respect for 91MD, but it doesn't look good to brag about a glorified scrimmage.

Really? The crabs went a couple of years ago as i recall and made it to the championship game against 91 Crush. But they couldn’t bring all of their hold backs so they lost.

So you’re telling me that all of the MD teams can’t play in the WSYL bec they are so stacked with hold backs??

You are one sorry, CHEATING bunch of losers!

You really set a great example for your kids, don’t you?!!

A bunch of scum bags!!!!

Agreed. To cheat and horde hold backs is bad enough, but to then deny it after you’ve been caught with your hand in the cookie jar is dumbfounding.

C’mon, there must be some MD teams that aren’t ridden with hold backs that are going to Denver next year.

Obviously Madlax is the cream of the crop of scum bag teams so they won’t be there.

What teams will be going?

BLC?
Hawks?
91 MD?
Looneys?

One thing is for sure, all of the LI teams will be there because LI teams are not cheaters.

Oh, what the two LI teams that are decent. The Baltimore area teams in the 2024 age bracket are not riddled with holdbacks, though you would love to believe it. In fact, the 91MD team has two starters that are in the 5th grade. Do you really think a parent has made a strategic decision to hold a 3rd, 4th or 5th grader back so he could have an edge over some LI kid in when his in the 6th grade, give me a break. Now Crabs, mind you is famous for asking 8th graders to reclass before their freshman year, but no one with any sense wants to play over there any way. No one gives a $hit about going to Denver, unless it's to ski, and yes plenty of teams could if they chose to throw money out the window.

You need to work on your reading comprehension. It was 91MD that was making excuses for losing to Taz (not Madlax). Madlax DID beat Taz.

you should learn your reading comprehension. Madlax parent was making an excuse of why they lost to 91 MD (D- A$$) . Than pat 91 MD on the back by saying they would have done better against Taz., trying to saying how their excuse was justified to losing to 91 MD .. So please. you must be one of those Left backs..haha

Just another HOLD BACK, old school!!

What MD teams will be going to WSYL in Denver next year?

Said in another way, which teams aren't stacked with hold-backs, any????

We now know that Madlax won't be there, which is confirmation that they are stacked with hold-backs.

MD's reputation is that the travel teams play the hold-back game better than any where else.

I imagine that not all of the teams play that game. Who is going??

You keep lying about all your hold backs. No one expects anything less.

But let me make sure I have this right...

You spend countless hours on this website proclaiming that your sons 6th grade team is best on the planet, and you are still volunteering excuses for a loss, WEEKS after the game. You people are OBSESSED with your little 6th grade team (hold backs included) and how they are the very best out there.

But you don't care anything about a true national tournament to see where your team really stacks up, nationally. I got that right, correct???

THERE IS NO RATIONAL THINKING INDIVIDUAL WITH MORE THAN A SINGLE BRAIN CELL THAT IS GOING TO BELIEVE THAT LIE. You gotta do better than that!

The only plausible reason for any decent team to not go to this tournament, is if they think they have no chance of winning it. Then, yes, in some ways it could be considered a waste of money.

And that is why your teams are not going...

your team has absolutely no chance at winning it.

Why????

Because without the best players on your teams, you won't be competitive. So, all of these years of cheating and accumulating hold backs, has back fired on you, in regards to the most important tournament in your son's youth.

What goes around comes around. You cheat, and eventually you pay the price. Isn't that right daddy?? A great life lesson for your son.

Well said!!!!!! These teams would give their right arm to play in the WSYL. Think of all the bragging and chest pounding they could do then!! No possible way they wouldn't all be there, if they had a team that was eligible to go!! The way they are set-up with the hold ups, it would be one huge embarrassment

Probably the funniest part of this whole thing is, even if you MD teams did go to WSYL, WITH all of your hold backs, you would still be beaten by an on-age LI team. Because we all know which team is the best 2024 team very likely anywhere, and they do it with NO hold backs!!

Mad Daddy, what team has a very lopsided winning record vs Madlax??? Your on-age nemesis...???????

For that matter, they have a very lopsided winning record against EVERY MD team they have ever played (most have never even beaten them).

Who might that be gentlemen... the on-age quiz of the day????

Crabs?? FCA??

Take this LI driven noise over to the hold back forum.

Nope. Not even warm.
