My son plays attack and has said #2 on FCA is by far the best defender he has ever faced including one really good one on his team that he sees in practice twice a week. I'll save the comments...#2 is not my kid, nor does my kid play on FCA. Other than that player none of the FCA defenders are legit though...the rest are avg at best.

Anytime someone has to say “so and so” is not my kid or “not a FCA parent” or “Hawks parent” etc; they’re generally that parent or affiliated with the club. So nice try “dad” or “coach” to legitimize your son or team. One thing I’m learning; I wouldn’t want my kid to play for FCA; how much drama has followed them this summer? Is that a reflection of their religious beliefs or just poor coaching?

So dad did your son go to Looneys or is this just a rumor? Pathetic post and transparent to say the least.

Well spoken from a Tough guy who plays his son down against smaller and younger players in youth sports,,You go dada

Happens all the time at 8th grade, MIAA has several top players that were just for lacrosse, Many are smart and do a prefirst in MIAA even if kid doesnt need it, MIAA parents know the drill, your boy will be at a disadvantage without being held back , most of reclass are joining MIAA late or made a mistake without prefirst.

No ,matter, you can hold him back in kindergarten ( prefirst) or any grade, no one cares,,,,but that shouldnt give you a right to play against younger players prior to high school.. there you can get your advantage

Plenty of time to hold them back this year or next, Then they will be legit

Sounds like a bitter FCA post with a little too much detail from someone not on the team. My guess is Looneys is very happy with whoever came over to help out their goalie who is the best at the 2026 level. FCA vs Looney’s should be fun to watch next year. Over-Under on FCA sideline brawls - 2.

true story...Looney's ran through FCA (the nation's best defense look beatable) and Madlax last weekend, any rebuttal?

Why would a starter for FCA leave for a lesser club like Looneys? Also FCA has one good player on offensive who barely plays as the coach is an stunad and a lunatic, avg at best middies and a strong defense...not sure all the people crying otherwise.

The fact that you know exactly where they came from shows you felt the need to pay attention.

Why did the Hawks drop out of the tournament?

Lol. The nation's best D

Have you seen the competition and it’s a Millon tournament; need I say more. Lol

You may have answered your own question in your rant lol.

That is why playing for the Hawks is terrible, you are too good and all of your games are blow outs. Teams stop playing hard when they are down 8-10 goals. Nobody wants to play in game that are so one sided. Waste of time. Good luck finding any good games.

91 dads are hilarious on the sidelines today. Total d bags

Shocker!

91 dominates early round and advance to finals. Where’s all the garbage talk now?

Doesn’t look like the defender is helping Loonies today?

Talking about coming after Hawks and you get smoked by madlax 2games in a row?

Stick to making wings.

Seriously Dad? They played Freedom and needed OT to win and the worst team in the tournament TRW lacrosse. Let’s see how they do against Madlax Nationals who needed OT to beat Looney’s after being down 3-0.

Defender isn’t on our roster yet and we lost both games in OT to their National Team. See you in the Spring.

Madlax 7-3......only team 91 played all day and got blown out.

91 most have tired from the elite level competition they had in the first two games.

Must have been WINDY!!

My son is on a team that played Looney's, FCA and MadLax at Platinum Cup. And for that tournament at least, Looney's was definitely a step above FCA and MadLax. FWIW

Austin was too busy coaching all the other teams to help this disaster of a team. 1 player on the team who carries them.

Madlax national?

There is nothing national about that team.

Just a mix of the dc capital and dmv teams.

Sounds like a well run organization by MM

If you want to be elite join Millon at 91. Just be sure you pay for all his clinics, camps, etc. But hurry up!! Space is limited and spots are filling fast!!!

He was there! Stop it. 🤣🤣

🤣🤣 nope not until Fall and our defense played extremely well today. Nice job Looneys; continuing to get better!! 💪🏻💪🏻

FCA and 91 are dumpster fires right now. Wow the mighty have fallen and fast. Go Hawks!!!!!

WCS is the only team that played all 3 at Platinum Cup...good try, Looneys Dad. Madlax was the best of those 3 coming from a dad whose son played 2 of the 3.

Love,
Madlax Dad (not really, but I know that'll be the assumption)

And sign a paper agreeing to funnel all the offense thru the chosen one

Coaching and parents inevitably destroy teams unfortunately.

And sometimes players, unfortunately.

Go Hawks if you want to play one-sided uninspired games.

If players are destroying teams that again comes down to coaching and parenting. Kids need to be held accountable both on and off the field.

I will rephrase, coaches and parents are destroying players.

My son plays for WCS. MadLax and Looney's I thought were comparable squads. But for that event, I thought Looney's had the edge. On another day, it could certainly be different. Its also possible that WCS played better against MadLax which is impacting my judgment. I have no axe to grind. We lost to both teams and beat FCA. We had a more competitive game with MadLax than with Looney's. But both were certainly good teams and teams that were very close in overall ability.

It was a good experience for a bunch of California kids to play some good teams from Maryland and we appreciated the opportunity. We also played BLC in November and played VLC and Crabs at Young Guns. We look forward to playing against all of these squads in the future. No axe to grind...all good teams with some very talented players. Maybe we will see some of you in the Fall at Gold Cup in Delaware? I am sure all of those teams will continue to improve either through player development of player acquisition and WCS will attempt to do the same (with no team practices, the player development.

At some point maybe I will give an "outsiders" ranking of the best teams we have played from the Maryland area. We have not played the Hawks, but I am sure they would beat us soundly.

Yes...a WCS dad.
