May be open to all but the team is pretty much decided based on politics and cliques. In Baltimore region it is a waste of time and most kids know that. The "in" kids know they are shoe ins and the other kids who think it is an objective event go and become the token 1 or 2. The quality players without the right last name or legacy stay away as the ball never gets passed and the attitudes are sky high. Better to stay home and hit the wall to prep for team events.
Plus if you arent an over age future true 10 grader or 12 grader....You have even less of a chance. Baltimore should be advertised as any 10 grade or 12 grade prefirst/heldback/reclassed players come try out.. It was so bad last year...Even the guru of recruiting Ty said something had to be done about age differences. It was that obvious/ Sad state for lacrosse
blah, blah, blah older kids blah, blah blah, old news, just move on......and ty xander is an ass [ChillLaxin], hardly a guru of recruiting, whoever is buying him beer that night gets his kid mentioned, he is not evaluating any talent
There is no one that has a detailed lacrosse recruiting website like Xanders. Just cause you dont like him ( did your holdback kid get overlooked) doesn't mean his site isn't informative. Like all recruiting websites, he gets it right sometimes and other times, not so right. And for Xanders to say something about overage private school players is something. That means it is out of hand as most of us can see. His main emphasis is on private schools and their players. Sorry Mrs. Xander, didn't mean to offend your boy. No prob. I will make sure your holdback gets a shout out next time. Promise. OUCH! Thats going hurt!

Better to remain silent about grade as everyone knows the real deal. At least in college they refer to players as "redshirt freshman" , "5th year senior" etc.

It's HS. Who cares how old they are? As long as they aren't 19 when they start their senior year it's within the rules. BL has an amazing load of talent in the current sophomore and freshman classes. I get that complaining about the holdbacks in middle school grade based lacrosse. So what is a freshman went to prefirst and is 16? That means they are the age of a normal sophomore playing against a lot of juniors and seniors. My son is on age, but this whining is ridiculous. They're in high school.

Well you are correct but also missing some of the point. How many people on this site know of a High school coach or college coach who had their own kids reclass/ start school late at any sport not just lacrosse? I can think of at least 4 coaches I know of. Now ask yourself why would people in the know reclass / start kids late? They know how this game works. If you reclass you get 20 to 40 more Varsity games played. Because you are really 15 and a half as a Freshman you get on the field your first year in high school. The 14 year old freshman has to play JV lacrosse. Do you think it helps to get that top D1 spot when you get to say you are the schools leading scorer or near the top of the list at these better programs? My point being the advantage does not go away when high school starts.

Both also started last year.

Spalding will make a HUGE splash this season(2018) and most likely will win the MIAA in 2019. Loading up with 2021 Hawks and many of the better 2022 Hawks going there too 16-1 DeMatha over Spalding.

Now that is funny. BL started the holdback and has perfected it. They began allowing holdback transfers in the 80’s and 90’s... way ahead of their time. When St Paul’s joined the party, they began doing it earlier and more often. BL remains the ONLY school that will allow a kid to do the same year again at their school when there is no academic justification whatsoever. The result is their athletes hold back early and often and across the board are a year older than a normal student.

Last time I checked Dematha isn't in the MIAA so losing to them has nothing to do with my prediction. 500 this year in MIAA followed by a couple championships. Once the 22 Hawks get there there will be many changes and the wins will follow

The 2022 Hawks have gotten in the holdback game in big way. Not to mention their coach thinks he is coaching Johns Hopkins. Dude - seriously - lighten up. Its a game.

Once the 22 Hawks get there there will be many changes and the wins will follow I heard about the drug issue in Anne Arundel County and this is proof that the issue is REAL. Lol .500? Please tell us what league games they will win. Out of the 10 A league games I see 2 wins. And don’t include the 2 B league games. Joke DeMatha? Rabil must have played.

Big Changes? If I was the AD I’d start with the coach. 16 wins in 3 years is not good. 6 wins tops this year.
Maybe hire “Bigsy” from API.
We really should get back to talking about relevant MIAA, WCAC, and IAC programs.
One DeMatha

Better take his son to Calvert Hall or ask Spalding to move down to the B league. Please know the history of the league before you come on here with pipe dreams.

Spalding 2020, 2021, 2022 MIAA Champs!!! You got that right!! The attack will be lead by Sasquatch , Nessie and Yeti !! They are strong tall and unstoppable . Some claim they are re-classed...but I have from good sources they only did a prefirst. The two new coaches D B Cooper and Teddy Kaczynsk are probably the smartest coaches in the MIAA league.
