Madlax isn't playing Hoco - don't think it will affect their ranking

Impact your ranking? But the rankings are totally non-biased, independent, and scientific. They are very transparent and list all the "voters." It's not like US Club Lacrosse rankings are a marketing hammerhead. Business interests and backroom deals have NOTHING to do with these highly accurate rankings. I mean, they have an official web site and are printed on the internet, so they must be legit. Surely they aren't a money grab or a hammerhead to help certain clubs maintain the veneer of being 'the best.'

US Club Lacrosse powering first-of-its-kind Club Lacrosse Nationals tournament
8/14/2019

US Club Lacrosse is excited to announce that we will be powering The Club Lacrosse Nationals 2020 in January near Orlando, Florida. The new tournament will be held from Jan. 3-5 and feature boys club teams from 2022-2029. It is a collaboration between US Club Lacrosse, Madlax and LI Legacy, who already own and operate experienced event management companies in MDLX Events and Top Lacrosse Tournaments.

The top 100 teams in our 2022-2025 rankings will be automatically invited to participate, while all 2026-2029 teams nationally are welcome to join. Thanks to the tournament being the first of the calendar year, it’ll also serve as the first piece of results for our 2022-2026 rankings next season.

They are first team listed for roster on HOCO site??

If you register for sports engine, which you'll need to do, you can choose each club and see which grades each club has entered. Hawks have 24 and 25 black

Hawks parent confirms they are playing FAALL

Is FAALL different than HOCO?

Yes - Hoco is played in Howard County and has a history of spring league play for travel teams ranging in caliber going from B, A, AA, AAA to Elite. FAALL is new league in Anne Arundel County for fall - only just a few HS teams have been published so far. Hoco will have season this fall with schedule and teams to published shortly.

So I take it FAALL (not the most hopeful of acronyms) is the Hawks created league?

AACRP,  Legendary Sports Group (LSG), HoganLax and QuickStix

The FAALL will FAAILL! Hogan Money Grab League!

ha! It's a good idea, but they weren't quick enough to beat GHCLC to establishing a fall season for this year. Next year though maybe.

Schedules for HS and ES are live https://www.ghclacrosse.com/boyslax

Great lineups! Can’t wait to watch the compete.

Are they still having a Middle School division?

Great line up for the 2024s. Not so much for 2022s and 2023s.

Yes that schedule will prob come out later today. Games on Sundays

Agreed 2023 is horrible.... 2022 not much better.....

2026 has a solid top 4: FCA, BLC, Looney's, VLC

Agreed great 2024 action, and 2025 and 2026 looks great too

Where do you see 25-27 listed? All I see are 28/29 then 22-24

Then choose year

Thanks - for some reason HS and Elementary school have icons in the page where MS doesn't.

Not sure if the 2022 and 2023 divisions are even going to continue.

Actually thought 25 looked a little weak. No 91, Madlax, Crabs, DCE, or Looney’s and the “B” team for the Hawks.

Look under Middle School (27s-25s)- the HS and ES schedules were posted first

91 was on the roster select list yet none of their teams are shown at any grade level. Maybe some of the teams are joining the new F.A.A.L.L league that is still yet to publish their middle school teams.

91 parent. Simple reason why 91 not doing either league. Million doesn’t want to pay. Money out of his pocket.

Not surprised, 91 parent told me his kid had to join another club's winter box team to use the skills he learned in 91 box clinic.

91 will play in good events, but they are few and far between and the majority will be Millon events.

What is the difference between Crabs and Crabs Old Bay in 24A division. Which is the better team?

Crabs Old Bay is the Looneys 2024 team that King Crab stole during COVID19. Looneys were asleep at the wheel during early parts COVID19 with communication.

Crabs will have something to say about that.

Yesterday was opening weekend, there's no scores posted yet. Who is supposed to do that? Also, the bleachers in the stadiums were chained off. Why aren't spectators allowed to sit down? Being able to spread out across the bleachers provides more social distancing distance than everyone having to stand along the fence! HoCo take the chains down!

The silly thing is that bleachers at the Howard County high schools are open. But the schools don't have sports. Howard County parks is running sports using those facilities.

But the facilities Howard County parks controls have bleachers roped off.

Completely freaking backwards.

That does seem a** backwards

It’s absolutely ridiculous. It is not rocket science Howard County.

Put on a mask

People are not following the guidelines posted by HoCo. Get it together or HoCo is going to shut it down.

30+ state playing high school football. It’s all political hogwash at this point.

I noticed tourney machine removed the lower age group divisions for FAALL league sponsored by Hoganlax. Any information?
