Re: Boys 2026 (Mid-Atlantic Region) TheBackOfTheCage #287783 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A Just wait a second!!! Diamondback beat Express North, Legacy, BBL, Madlax, in Philly. In the playoffs they lost to Sweetlax National since they flew in 4 players from Florida and BBL Hardly a terrible team

Re: Boys 2026 (Mid-Atlantic Region) Anonymous #287809 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A Refresh my memory, how many games did Diamondbacks win in HOCO? Oh, I know, they were 0-7.....how could you even make a case they're good?

The team we start with in August is the team we end with in June. Bethesda isn’t the best team out there, but they are really good. Definitely worthy of being considered an elite team. I give you guys a lot of credit out there. Your lacrosse and soccer programs in Bethesda are top notch. Great area for youth sports.

I think Diamondbacks has also traveled outside of MD unlike some AAA teams. #weateelite

Re: Boys 2026 (Mid-Atlantic Region) TheBackOfTheCage #287845 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A That's hilarious, are you serious? You'll never compete with any of those teams you mentioned. You're beating "C" level teams and your pounding your chest like you're doing something...What was your record in HOCO again? Oh-I know 0-7...sounds like a great club to play for....HAHAHA...a bit of advise, save your money and play rec, you might actually wins a few games...

Re: Boys 2026 (Mid-Atlantic Region) TheBackOfTheCage #287851 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A I have no dog in this fight but I’d rather go 0-7 in elite than 7-0 in A or AA. But maybe that’s just me. I love to win, but It’s not all about winning games at this level, it’s about developing players. A few years from now no one is ever going to remember if your son went 0-7 or 7-0 at HOCO in 5th grade. Unless you’re uncle Rico.

Re: Boys 2026 (Mid-Atlantic Region) TheBackOfTheCage #287952 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A How many tournaments left for teams before tryouts? When do the shenanigans, I mean tryouts begin?

When do the shenanigans, I mean tryouts begin? Why are tryouts Shenanigans. Because parents with half a brain will take their child out to see where they think they will grow and develop the best. It is okay to put some actual thought in to where your child will play and where you are dropping a couple grand for a years worth of lax. To each their own, but some of us like to make educated decisions.

I dont think its deals considering the top talent will stay with their team. Coaches are going to keep a core and then try and add on The only deals I have ever heard of are the free gear - helmets gloves and such which to be honest most teams include it now

Again, other then vague references to deals being made, you cannot tell me why trying out for teams is "shenanigans". Especially if you have a kid who has choices where he can play. One thing I can say that is shenanigans is for some reason, in today's age, everyone is under the impression if a kid tries out for a team, he is going to that team if he makes it.

This tournament will be the end of the line for many teams until tryouts. Its going to be interesting with Diamondbacks playing well this summer and merging with Swarm. What does Team 91, Looneys and Bethesda do to knock off the HAWKS? Will AYLC be Elite? The summer season is almost over. Its been fun and if you havent had fun its time to find a new team.

They lost 8-3. The Hawks are on fire. Let’s see how they close out the week. Originally Posted by Anonymous Napptown Challenge is just days away.

The two best goalies for 2026 in my opinion from watching HOCO and summer tournaments are the Looneys and Hawks kid. Make great saves and don’t have meltdowns. Best outlet passes I’ll apologize but I haven’t seen any AAA games at HOCO and those teams haven’t been in our tournaments.
