Sure it is. Whatever helps you sleep at night.

100% False.

There were probably 5 local FOGO's on Elite 2020 teams that committed to high D1 programs in 7th and 8th grade prior to the recruiting rule change. Stick skills and field awareness mean 0 as long as you win the clamp and pass it off. Possession is king.

PLC, has the best fogo in the state, plus goalie and top mid line....attack and defense still need a little help

My son plays for them...

My son is a FOGO. He is not the best FOGO in the state, but he says that the Hawks kid from last year was the best he has gone against. Did he move to PLC

All I am going to say is a FOGO in 6th grade is a bad idea and in a few years it will show on the field. Midfielder first; FO second. What makes a FOGO elite at the next level is stick skills and field awareness. He is not going to get that if he is just facing off in 6th grade. In fact I would go as far to say that most elite FOGO's do not become FOGO's until HS. They are converted midfielders.

And yes the Hawks kid is the best at 2026 and he is still there.

Completely wrong! Talk to any HS coach in the MIAA and they will agree; specializing as a FOGO at this age is bad practice.

Hawks don’t repeat as champs this year.
Shadow 1 player and you shut them down.
3rd place in HOCO this year.
That is all.
Bring your lanyards Hawks parents.
Thank you.

With the addition of 2 Texas kids. 91 will will be the team to beat. We are loaded but obviously out of state kids know we are the 26 team to join in MD. Really a special program so I would encourage you to talk with the staff. Welcome to MD!

A 91 post where the “stud” doesn't get mentioned. He must fall behind Texas in the pecking order.

Here's a thinker. If my kid's team was so bad they had to bring players in from halfway across the country would I really be on here bragging about that!! At least the "stud" is from MD

And not much of a stud if they still feel the need to bring kids in from Texas.

everythings bigger in texas. Double holdbacks for sure

Any observations from today’s games at Blandair?

No, he is still there.

Another great thing that MD and the Northeast Preps schools have made happen. Many of these out of state parents know the drill and are holding back their son. Lacrosse has become saturated with a bunch of kids playing down as holdbacks/prefirst . Pretty sad

PLC will own Annapolis 26 Division again soon!

As EO EO EO mentioned previously, or PLC, they rolled something seriously, how about rolled over. Think 2025 and 2026 went 0-8

Dang, that hurts, they should have stayed extinct, going to be a long year.

91 in freedom lax invitational October 27 in Aston Pa. pretty lame teams so will be shocked if we don’t roll all teams

Biggest surprise from yesterday's action at Blandair was Looney's. I know it is fall ball but to go 1-2 and really look average surprised me. True Annapolis looks like the real deal; a few more pieces and they could make some noise in elite.

How'd they do? No Scores posted. Not sure that HOCO will put a new team in Elite in their 1st season.

Hawks are still the greatest team ever assembled!

Definitely the team to beat; #22 is playing like a man among boys. He was close to unstoppable. True had some nice goalie play and Madlax and FCA both had very good FO guys and solid defenses along with Hawks defense. VLC was big but I do not think they're ready for elite just yet.
