Just watch

Evolve typically plays physical, many of the kids play ice hockey as well. Dont be surprised about the size, this kids are big.

Looney's, and 91 have good goalies and faceoff kids, Bethesda is solid. Never seen VLC play and AYLC looks good one week and so-so the next. Should be good to see some good lacrosse

Says someone who clearly is bitter.....

AYLC should have been Elite, if they don't get into Elite next year it's a joke. They will prove this to be true by beating the field at Summer Exposure this weekend.

Looks like "AYLC will destroy everyone in HOCO AAA" dad has resurfaced.
Good Luck. Next Level must not be in that tournament.

I imagine that they are pulling from other counties as well.

DADDY BALL IS THE WORST and it’s about to tear apart a team that has a lot of potential. When the coaches kid shouldn’t be even playing elite yet never comes of the field it’s an issue for a lot of kids who deserve to be out there. #FACTS

Must be AYLC... there’s a bad egg on that coaching staff. Players and parents beware.

If you think you can do a better job, by all means step up and coach. I promise you, it’s difficult, it’s time consuming, it’s frustrating dealing with every families seemingly never ending issues, and it’s incredibly stressful. The hours these coaches put in go well beyond the time you see them on the field. If the coach wants to play his kid a little extra, then let him play his kid.

My son has played on a team where the coaches son played more than he deserved. It was aggravating at times, but the coach was a good coach, he was great with the kids, and he put a ton of time and effort into making the team better. He didn’t get paid, he was a volunteer. If his biggest reward was that he got to play his son a little extra, we let him do that without making a big issue out of it.

I will say that if the coach is getting paid, he should be able to be more objective about his own sons abilities and should play him accordingly.

With all that said, my son had also been on teams where the coaches son was the best player on the field, Which eliminates your entire argument against “Daddy Ball.”

Crabs plays down to win Summer Exposure.

This didn't age well........

Turns out the only new Elite team at Summer Exposure was from Canada.

Bethesda was cruising all weekend but looks like they lost in the finals. Had beaten Evovle 8-4 in round robin play but must have fallen apart in the end. The Canadians apparently got their revenge in the finals.

Will be curious to hear from AYLC dad about their performance. Definitely a solid team but not sure they should be crowing on anonymous message boards.

21 goals scored in 5 games do the match
35 goals given up and many were with 6 yards of the crease.

No offense and no defense

#weareelite

I cant wait to see the uproar when AYLC is not in Elite for the 2020 season. I suppose they will not be using their summer resume in the complaints.

From what I hear the Elite players on that team will be playing Elite next year....in different colors

What colors do they prefer?

Pool play from this week

Bethesda 5-0 (GD +20)
Evolve 4-1 (GD +8) - lost to Bethesda 8-4

Team 91 2-3 (GD +4) - beat VLC and AYLC
Looneys 2-3 (GD -2) - beat VLC and Team 91

AYLC 1-4 GD (-14) - beat AYLC
VLC 1-4 (GD -16) - beat Looneys

Evolve beat Bethesda 9-5 in the finals. Maybe Bethesda took them for granted after the first win.

Tough tournament for Team 91 - lost a ton of close games.

Was mostly surprised by Looney's showing. Are they missing players? They were much tougher in Hoco.

Small correction, VLC beat AYLC and AYLC beat Looneys. Not that it matters. The only 2 teams that belonged there in AA were Evolve and BLC.

No one cares about Summer Exposure, VLC, AYLC or whatever C - its like watching a train wreck

Terrible lacrosse

Thank you for your opinion. You sound like a pretty stable and well adjusted lax dad

A two team tournament would be an expensive play day.

Trouble in AAA paradise?

You are why people hate lacrosse dads. Lots of these teams and players will go up and down every year. You are either short-sighted, an stunad or both. Probably both.

So Million's tournament is coming up and so is Napptown Challenge - what other tournaments are folks playing

Hogan Hershey looks like some good teams

BBL
Hawks
7 Flames
Saltwater
91 MD
HP Mohicans
Diamondbacks
Mesa Red
Freedom
91 Long Island

This will be good for some and not so good for others

Anyone know anything about HP Mohicans?

Based out of Texas - the have been traveling all over according to their Twitter page

Not a bad single A tournament. Hawks & BBL are 2 AA team there.

Mohicans are easily the 2nd best team there.

Hawks
Mohicans
BBL
91 LI
91 MD
7 Flames
Mesa
Freedom
Diamondbacks
Saltwater

91 MD and Diamondbacks are also from hoco elite/AA.

Really? Pretty sure both would have come in dead last in Li & lost to all the Long Island Hawks& Laxa team judging from their other losses in the other summer tournaments. Just going by their scores. - Laxa Dad

Diamondbacks lost every game in HOCO this year, really bad team!!! But looks like they actually beat Express North two weeks ago 8-4, man...that is sad....Express N should be embarrassed to call themselves a club team....

Looking at the teams playing in Naptown at the 26 level; there are 3 Md teams. Hawks, AYLC and All-In. Any idea what the All-In team is? I haven’t been able to find them in any other tournaments this summer.

That's a pretty lame line up. Just a lay up of a tournament for the Hawks. Give them the t shirts and save everyone the drive (or flight).

Or they added players for the summer season like other 2026 teams did in order to start winning.
