BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums MID-ATLANTIC LACROSSE MARYLAND FORUM Boys 2022 -9th Grade Fall 2018/Summer 2019

Funny post on the Sabre Lacrosse Board about the Death of Balwmore Lacrosse. Specifically references the Crabs/MIAA/Hopkins style of lacrosse... The shot clock will kill this deliberate pace of play O. Bang to X, rotate ball up top and alley dodge. Not sure the D1 coaches want to give up control.... Even if its better for the gate and the TV ratings...translation more $$$

Correct,,,New Sheriff in town boys!

Best Hawks 2022 are going to Spalding. Best 4 defenders/LSMs, Best Faceoff guy, Best 2 middies, 2 top attack. Kids going to ST Johns and Landon are very talented BUT they are the supporting cast of the Spalding players. To say otherwise is comical

So Looneys folded another team? First the 2017s and 2018s and now the 2022s. Not sure why anyone continues to play for this club when they continually hang kids out to dry.

Only 3 Looneys helmets at Koopers tryouts.

Don't most of these players got to MIAA schools? Does it matter id they play club for Koopers,Looneys,Green turtle,Crabs,91md?

Laughable to think that any of those Hawks kids are going to step on an MIAA field and dominate as freshman. Or even make much of a difference for that matter. Spalding will always be middle of the pack at best.

Freshman may start but are almost never stars as freshman in the A Conference. Delusional to think otherwise. In all fairness to Spalding, if their freshmen and sophomore class develop and they keep recruiting talent this will be the first time in School history they have a critical mass of talent to compete for the semis. This assumes this unproven staff (no experience winning consistently in the A Conference) can "coach them up" and get them to the point where they can compete at the highest level. I wish them only the best (it would be great to have another great program in the Conference) but I would strongly suggest not bragging about what are clearly aspirational goals.

Most of the players are going to Spalding but not all the best at all the positions. Best close D to SJC, best FOGO SJC, best O Middie Spalding, best SSDM Spalding, best LSM MCD, best attackman Spalding. Probably best overall player at his position is their goalie and he doesn’t go to HS until next year. The surprising thing is STM didn’t get any of their top players


Not surprising with all the KOOL AID drinking going on. STM, Severn and other schools didn't have back rubbing and outside recruiters for their school making deals. Those schools along with Severna Park and the rest of the MIAA have Tradition and Standards.

i saw a picture of the 2022 hawks players receiving their high school helmets...very touching and they are no doubt great players but does that mean they don't have to actually go through tryouts like everyone else?....total bs if you ask me and only fuels the fire of the kids and their parents that they have some kind of special status...great job by the schools and the parents on this...you all should be very proud

What is worse, getting MM and his son or two season and literally no wins.

The correct answer is getting MM and his son would be much worse.

I 100% agree on this. Total bs.

Keep dreaming. There will be a new hierarchy soon . 2-3 years new MIAA title holder.

They will still need a helmet even if they play on JV or Fresh-Soph. There is a spot on some team at the schools no matter how bad you may be.

Hawks had a good spring and won Hoco league only lost was against Madlax. Summer Hawks lost 3 of 4 tournaments and only making the finals once. Their so called middle school domination is over teams have caught up to them. The holdback game works in middle school no so much in high school.

JV this year easy... Next year playoffs MIAA Varsity... Following year MIAA Champions ..

It is completely delusional to think a group of 2022 players is going to rescue Spalding from the cellar of the MIAA. It’s not like the talent level at the other MIAA schools is suddenly drying up. An overbearing club coach that didn’t get his needs met by the traditional power school took his marbles (player) and went to Spalding. I feel for the administration and current coaches at Spalding. Going to be fun to watch this dumpster fire.

This is the norm with any of the top 6 swapping spots- making the playoffs in MIAA is ridiculously hard let alone a winning record.

Is this an opinion or a statistical analysis and if so for how many years?

Who ever said they had dominance in middle school. They had a great year last year but lost games and tournaments every year of middle school..You do know that the holdback game was invented in High School and is very strong in High School. You do know that every Elite team from 2023 to 2019 have holdbacks. There is no 'on age' in high school. Ive watched a lot of lacrosse from this age group and the hawks were always one of the smallest teams on the field. The playing field has been even for years if you choose to have your kid play in that division .
