The Hawks have great players because Hogan does a great job in branding his product. His tournaments are good, his name is gold and his teams look sharp. The Nap town TV coverage does not hurt.
He has completely eliminated any competition for players from Calvert County to the Eastern Shore.
Imagine if one of the Baltimore based teams could replicate what Hogan has done. Take the top 5% off of 91, FCA, Crabs, Loons, and Koopers and you have the Hawks of Central MD. Too many entrenched egos in Baltimore and DC to actually accomplish this mission.

If correct school age for 7th grade is 9/1/04 - 8/31/05, then anyone with a birthday before should be in 8th grade or in some of your cases 9th grade.

Excellent Point and completely agree!!

Hawks over FCA. It will be competitive...6-4
Looneys v Crabs is a toss up. It will be a one goal game. Looneys 9-8
Club Blue v Bethesda will also be close game. Club Blue 7-6
Next Level will win big over 91. Next Level 14-4

Just curious about your take on the Hawks/FCA game? Hawks is easily the better team based on the first two weeks. What makes this game anything but another easy win?

I agree Hawks are the older more experienced team and should win by 5+

How they match up. FCA has been strong at faceoffs and will be patient on offense. That is why it should be a lower scoring game.

They may be patient and it may be low scoring due to the strength of the FOGO for the Hawks

Hawks FOGO this year is a tank. Don’t get in his way when he has a head steam.

Nobody can beat him; he’s an animal and dominates the X. He won’t lose a faceoff Sunday guaranteed!! Just another stud playing for the best team in the country!!!

Bold statement from a troll... NOT a Hawks player or parent.

Nearly every Hawk is a reclassed kid. Sad.

According to the Inside Lacrosse U13 poll, the best two teams in Maryland are Next Level and Saltwater

That is because it is a u13 poll NOT a 2023 poll so it is accurate

Well this site got boring. Gotta love when no one wants to take accountability for their posts.

Better to be less active then have these trolls come on here and bash kids and talk nonsense.

Back online just in time for HOCO finals and Hawks still top at 2023

#9........is he on age or not? Just curious.

If there’s no difference in age why aren’t the crabs and hawks going to the World Series of lacrosse, yeah #9 is 13 yrs old, you parents should be ashamed of yourselves

I know his father well, 9 turned 13 this March or April. If you don't believe it, just check his dad out - he's not a little guy. Now let's talk lacrosse and leave the individual kids out of it. Hawks clearly the best team all season. Club Blue was equally good. Everybody else in HoCo was a step down but evenly matched for the most part. Summer should be fun.
