BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums MID-ATLANTIC LACROSSE MARYLAND FORUM Boys 2023 - 7th Grade Fall 2017/Summer 2018

Naptown 2023 shows Annapolis Hawks v Team Baltimore and True National v Dukes National in semis. Anyone have information about Team Baltimore? I have never heard of that club.

This argument gets sooo old. One more year and it really won't matter. With that, I do think that tournaments should move back to an age based model. I have family and friends with kids that are 13 and when I asked what team they are playing wondering if my son born in June '05 might play them, they are also summer '05 they responded they are playing 2024. They did not "re-class" but held back in K for other reasons than lacrosse. First, it does give an advantage. Second, most strong teams are full of kids close to the age or past the age cut off. If there were a logical Sept or January age range, an age grouping would end this discussion. However, when a tournament is set up as grade based, then the teams are not cheaters and kids should not be called out they are doing what is within the rules. Making an excuse for losing sends a bad message. It is NOT a safety issue as under the old system and the rec system 7th and 8th graders play together.

No but they are cheating if they have kids that have already completed 8th grade playing against those that haven’t completed 8th grade.

I don't get it... there are many teams bigger than the 23 Hawks team. They have 3 or 4 big kids, mostly average size kids, and 4 or 5 very small kids. Sounds like any 7th grade class. There are just too many crybabies out there. Team Baltimore and Duke's were FAR bigger than the Hawks. Several teams in HoCo were also bigger.

Team Baltimore v Atlantic Coast Stars

Nah!

With ACS coach departure/ex-communication from Crab Nation does ACS continue to be a thing? Were/are they planning to play in any additional events?

Who knows? You will always be on the outside looking in no matter what happens. Nothing will change for you. Stay with Team Baltimore...that is your best bet!

Crabs tryouts should be fun this year? After great seasons 5th and 6th, the wheels have come off — coaching disruptions, player departures, now competing all star teams. All just in time for RM to take the helm. Did they even win a tourney this year?

RM does not have a problem with Crab parents running and Crab players playing for Team Baltimore thing? Seems like a huge conflict.... In my opinion just a bunch a bloated pompous parents trying to elevate their kids... Pretty funny to watch from the outside

Hawks 2023 will be huge next year when all the 2022s hold back. 7 2021s held back and joined the 2022 team this past year on top of the kids who had already held back. Expect the same for the 2023s.

This is disgraceful. Doing whatever it takes to beat other kids, whether lacrosse or in the classroom. These are the rich jerks who do this. Win at any cost. All within the rules, so all validated. Disgraceful.

Well, lookout for a third such team since the co-founder of Team Baltimore went to Crabs three years ago, then coached ACS with his hand-picked players, and now is out at Crabs and RM is coaching ACS.

All I know is the ACS team is a great team. There cannot a second (just proved it) or even of third. This is the team with the best players. For all of the people who tried to ruin it or think backstabbing your way onto
The team will work, I assure you it will not. You will always remain second or third if you try to create another team.

Any coaching changes at Md 91? 0 for 12 two straight seasons in HoCo.

Word is Millon as his son is 2023.

My guess is you are not familiar with the coach’s History. Players/families follow him as he leaves teams. Has happened since tyker ball. Everything else you said may be true, but don’t be suprised if those beat players are playing with that coach under a new name next season.

Word is Millon as his son is 2023.

Confirmed. Cheating with his own son but kicking out good players from other teams. Hahaha!

They will need a lot more than 1 kid

Heard Millon's team lost to True and after kicked some others out of the tournament? What happened?d
