You’re praying it isn’t so aren’t you. Just to be safe, I suggest that your 15 year old “hit the wall”, since very soon he may be playing against other 15 year olds. That’s a scary thought for you and your reclass isn’t it? Happy Halloween. Booooo!! 🙀

Any predictions for the Maryland Lacrosse tournament this Sunday?

Crabs
Hawks
Looneys
Next Level
Madlax

Next Level and Mad Lax two top teams. Then Crabs and Looneys. That is the Hawk "B" team playing, not their better Green team. HoCo Pink and Sidewinders will also be there.

What is Hawks Green doing this weekend? How come they are not playing?

All playing football?

Tournament ended early due to weather. Crabs beat Madlax 7-5.

Scores from today?

Madlax v. Crabs
Looneys v. VLC
Roughriders v. Sidewinders
Next Level v. Hawks
Koopers v. HoCo Pink

Crabs beat Mad Lax 7-5

As expected !

VLC beat Loonies 6-2. Wasn't even a game.

Crabs and Madlax are great in 7th, 8th, 9th grade. After that, not so much. Back in gen pop when it matters.

Crabs 2019 and 2020 classes over 40 kids committed to college programs
Madlax 2019 and 2020 classes 50 kids committed to college programs
That is just the two recent classes. Both clubs average over 15 kids per class. Exactly when does it matter?

WOW thats every kid on the whole team, where to i sign up .. FACT CHECK PLEAESE

Thanks Crabs and ML owners for the info. I just signed up Junior. GTFOOH.

To be honest, the numbers you just laid out are not that impressive compared to the other top clubs. Like I said, they drop down a tier when they get to 10th, 11th grade. They're still good, but everyone else catches up.

As far as I can see, Crabs 2024 and 2026 both finished in 7th in HOCO Elite. 2025 didn’t play in Elite but was undefeated in AAA so worse than 7th in the age group.

First, this is very easy to look up both have all the recent commits listed on the websites. No need to fact check. Second, name the club that has more. Crabs beat DC Dogs (ML) in the HOCO final last year. Both clubs are top 5 in the nation. Hawks is right there as well. Not EVERYONE catches up.

Being jealous of others isnt a good trait, Obviously your son didnt make the Crabs or Madlax team.

Both are a top programs along with a host of others. Crabs 2020 and 2021 competed well this summer.

It is so funny when you jealous and envious parents come in here and talk trash about Crabs. You can bet the house their son got cut and they still cant get over it.

Calm down Crabs dad. Stop getting so defensive. Most who talk trash about Crabs didn’t try out for the club for the reasons they trash they club for. You are not really that dense. Or maybe you are, your response, if any, will tell.

You might want relax there. Just cause your son wasnt up to that level of play, doesnt mean his youth career is over.
Rec is an option. Dont give up...

The Crabs 2024 went 0-3 yesterday. Is that the level of play we should be all be looking for? What, they couldn't find any 15 year olds to play? Some level of play. Ha!

I am assuming reading comprehension wasnt your strong suit. Print this out, get someone who is above a 2024 level reading comprehension to tell you what this means...and then, HIT THE WALL !!

What does reading comprehension have to do with Crabs 2024 going 0-3 yesterday?

What's the story here and all the 2024 headlines with Crabs? They finish bottom 2 every year in Hoco and clearly Madlax was missing kids the last time they played. It's fall for goodness sakes.

By “missing kids”, what does that mean, exactly? Madlax didn’t have any of their invited guest players from the 2023 DCDogs? Officially, they are not part of the Madlax 2024 team. They are 2023 players from the 2023 DCDogs. Get it? So if these kids, who are in the wrong grade, and not officially paying players of the 2024 team, are “missing”, they really aren’t “missing” now are they, Simply, this was one of the rare occasions that Madlax wasn’t cheating, using players in a grade higher, from a different team. Understand now? Nobody was “missing”. Cheating is so ingrained in this team, that when they don’t have all their cheater players, they aren’t at full strength. Disgusting.

As a club coach I can tell you everyone is missing guys in the fall. I’m missing 5 guys next weekend for football. I consider Hoco to be the decider of the club pecking order.

Man you are broken record both here and on the LI board. You keep claiming there are all these kids who are graduating in 2023 on this team, please inform us who these kids are that are currently in 9th grade that are playing on this team. Oh you cannot because there are no 9th graders on the team.

Forget 9th graders, how many players that were suppose to go to high school this year and reclassed...and no kids that were held back years ago, or started kindergarten late, just kids that were in 8th grade last year.

Now you are starting to get it. You’re right! The 9th graders aren’t part of the 2024 ML team. They are guest players. And as such they should not be playing for the team. But they sure as heck do! And everyone knows it. Tell your kid to stop talking about it on social media and maybe it would go away. You hope! Your piece of garbage team is exposed for what it is. Cheating trash. Hey. What ever it takes for a t-shirt, right! The end always justifies the means, right? Even if it the end game is a lousy t-shirt. Trailer trash.

Starting team has one on age player, which is the goalie. 2nd midfield has an on age kid, but doesn’t get much playing time. That’s it, for Madlax players that actually touch the field. Rest of the players are reclass or late kindergarteners.

Happening more and more. There is hardly any player now whose father is a coach or played at a High level lacrosse from MD that hasnt held his kid back with either a prefirst or reclass. Very few of their children actually play on age. They know the drill.

In the last few years it has spiraled out of control. All top teams in DMV area have multiple holdbacks now, and especially 8th grade.

Get a life. My son's been a starter for 5 years and is on age even based on the LI definition. Not reclassed and not a late kindergartener. Not the goalie.

Complete untruth, there are no 9th graders that are guest playing for the team, since you seem to think there are and you get all your information from social media please direct us to where these posts are, please let us know the #s of these 9th grade guest players.

This is another lie that was started on the LI board and keeps getting posted, off the top of my head I can think of at least 4 starters that are on age and another 3 that are late summer birthdays. Also a simple reminder, MD plays grade based lacrosse so there is no "on age". That being said since you keep perpetuating this lie how about you back it up. Madlax rosters are posted, please let us know the #s of the starting 10 and their ages as of Sept 1.

Ok lets really think about this. These teams are at high school / recruiting ages. Why would it be in any kids interest to play on a team a grad below there current grade. I know the Sept 1st rule has pushed the college coaches away from the younger kids but they still show up to watch the 9th grade teams. So why would a 9th grader play on 8th grade team and hurt his chances of being scene playing his with his Grad year?

Simple question, how may kids on the team were in 8th grade last year, and are in 8th grade again this year...forget every other argument/excuse

Lies, lies and more lies! These are the same trashy parents that LIED for YEARS, saying Madlax had NOOOO holdbacks. None! Zero! For years we heard this. Funny, since Madlax and their lies were outed a couple of years ago, there aren’t ANY parents dense enough to try to continue that lie. But now the new lie is all of their holdbacks are “LATE SUMMER BIRTHDAYS”. Yes, according to Madlax all of their holdbacks, which is basically all of the kids that actually “play” are somehow, miraculously, “late summer birthdays.” Apparently this lie makes them think their entire team of holdbacks, are less of a holdback. The only players on Madlax, that touch the field, and are not holdbacks, are there 2023 guest players that their players continuously brag about on social media, to my kid. On one occasion last summer, a Madlax player bragged about having 2023 DCDogs players on their team, and this message came on Saturday night of the tournament. All the boys were talking about it the following day. It’s time to once again expose trashy teams like Madlax, for what they truly are. The cheater-trash of 2024 lacrosse. Ironic, since they have no 2024-age kids!

You can’t be as dense as you sound. Your argument makes noooooo sense! OBVIOUSLY they play on both the 2024 Madlax team as well as the 2023 DCDogs. Pay attention! That’s why they are referred to as the 2023 DCDogs players, because they are! Any other questions?! If so, keep them to yourself! Your dense posts are annoying!


,

MadLax has repeatedly done this at every age level and it doesn't matter if it's an A team or their B team. I would like the social media link so I can post it on other forums. I can't believe they aren't sanctioned in any tournament by requiring birth certificates of every player on the roster submitted.
