Teams are starting to practice this month. Fall excuses are over (no more football.) This is the last season of HOCO for this age group and the more things change the more they stay the seam pre-season prediction from an official unofficial source: The know it all 14 year old neighbor.
HOCO Elite: This is a three team race of Hawks, Dogs (last season Club Blue) and Crabs. While the Crabs additional reclasses make this more competitive, final is still Hawks and Dogs. Question is if 91 can finally win a game with the new added talent from last season's 2022 team.
HOCO AA: This is the most changed group from last season as 3d is gone. Lax Factory is now 3d. Madlax Capital is gone and PG is now Next Level. FCA White, API, USS, should consider A and Koopers, Breakers, and Top Caliber should move to AA. Final will still be SR and VLC.
HOCO A: This division will be the battle of the second teams. Club Blue A and Lax World are gone, if NL PG and FCA White move down, breakers A, and maybe Top Caliber B this will be test of the best second teams in the Mid Atlantic. NL and Looney's in the final. HLC will also be a contender.
HOCO B: Top three teams from last season should move to A or AA and this could be a more competitive division. It will be interesting if True makes Wolfpack a better team. We could see True and HOCO in the finals.
Hopefully the boys enjoy a great cap to youth lacrosse and get ready for the summer.
Why would Koopers and Top Caliber move up to AA and not Looneys? Looneys beat Breakers in the A final last season. It is my understanding that Breakers advertised during tryouts that they plan to have a team in AA this spring. Looney's could play AA and Elite for the Orange team. I have not clue what they will do. Madlax may also have a second team and A div could made up of all second teams from ML, NL, Looney's, FCA, Breakers, TC and I would think Looney's green would win this.

What high school are the top 23’s heading to? All of them? I think that with the Elite Division teams the only one that I know if with strong ties to one particular HS is DC Dogs and Georgetown Prep. The other teams will mirror previous years.

Many of those DC Dogs will follow similar paths of recent Mater Dei 8th grade wonders who matriculate to Prep--by the time they are juniors and ready to play varsity the size advantage they have by being older as 8th graders compared to their peers will be largely gone and they won't look like wonders anymore.....

I would say that if more than 7-8 players from one Elite club move to the same HS it can be considered a tie to that club.

My oldest is only 11, just curious.

Calvert Hall, Dematha, Saint Mary’s, Severn, Spalding, Saint Johns...just depends who has the best recruiting process. Tell the parents their freshman will be starting at varsity and take their 20k a year.

By the way:
Happy Birthday to the DC Dogs player that had his sweet 16 birthday party 3 weeks ago.
That makes three 16 year old men on the team playing against 13 and 14 year old boys.....
I bet if I took 3 top tier juniors from Boys Latin and had them play on 91MD the would also be in the finals.

MadLax will have 3 16 year olds too. I can't believe the other teams don't stand up to this unless they are hoping to have a bunch in the future too.

Almost every team in the elite division has at least 1 16 year old. All of the other teams have a majority of the players born prior to 9/1. it is truly a 14, 15 and some 16 year old division. The other divisions are closer to 13 and 14 year olds.

Almost every team in the elite division has at least 1 16 year old. All of the other teams have a majority of the players born prior to 9/1. it is truly a 14, 15 and some 16 year old division. The other divisions are closer to 13 and 14 year olds. My son's birthday is Spring '05 and he will play in the HOCO elite Div. Yes there are some kids with DOB prior to 9/1/04 but many others after this. I have never asked a parent about a kids's DOB but have never heard of teams with 16 year olds other than on this website. There are well known 14 year old basketball players who are 6'3, 6'4 and size is not the only indicator. If you have first hand knowledge then you are a parent of or close friend of a 16 year old 8th grader and you are "outing" them here.

That would mean they turn 19 in 11th grade? Which means they can't play in the MIAA their senior year.

almost every team in the elite division has at least one 16 year old? at the 2023 level? Puhlease. Not true. Don't dilute a legitimate discussion about holdbacks and their effect at the 8th grade level with baseless hypebole.

I believe we will see this situation move from theoretical to real at a certain boarding school out in Owings Mills in the next season or two. Will be interesting to see if / how it is enforced. Knowing what we know about the school it is safe to say that it is unlikely that the upcoming situation will be self-policed.

My take is that these parents may say .....if you are playing varsity your Jr year you can be picked up, also by the time spring of Sr year comes around, if you do not get an offer, you are not getting an offer to a top 10 school, so you play club and go for the best offer available....

If you have first hand knowledge then you are a parent of or close friend of a 16 year old 8th grader and you are "outing" them here. Call HoCo and ask yourself. They don't give out specifics but they do confirm there are 16 year olds playing this year. There will be close to 10 in the league. They also confirm every roster in the division has a strong majority of kids born in 2004 and not 2005. They will also confirm almost every team has a majority of their roster born prior to 9/1. BTW - the majority of the Hawks have close to the entire team born in 2004 and more than half of those have summer birthdays. The 19 year old sports eligibility rule is there but hardly ever enforced unless it involves a foreign born athlete where passports and citizenship become public. HoCo shakes their head at it but are standing by it by saying the league is run by the teams and it is up to the clubs to regulate themselves.

What is the issue with outing a 16 year old playing in an 8th grade lacrosse league against 13 and 14 year olds? IMO, it's really about outing the rules and regulations the league has set up.

The parents posting about 16 year olds on 2023 teams are clueless.
