Rage,care to update us here on your wisdom?

FCA 26 won every tournament last year, and now they can’t win a game. What happened there?

Okay, now I’m confused. Isn’t Rage referring to the Hawks coach? Hawks aren’t playing fall HoCo.

They did not win every tournament.

Fall tourney. Maryland Fall Tournament. They are there and will get beat by Crabs.

Correct we went 3-1 in the tournaments our boys played in; we lost some talent but also added some talent. Team needs to simply gel with the new boys and we will be just fine come Spring.

We won the National Championship in Florida, dont be jealous we train more and our kids have the opportunity to play all over the country

FACT: Only team in area that has a chance of beating Hawks this year is 91

Looneys > 91 and its not even close.

Gosh 91 dad, keep dreaming that dream. It’s good to have high reaching goals.

This forum would be so boring without 91 Dad!

Madlax played those same 2 teams, the Madlax B team and Freedom 2x. I'm having a hard time finding Freedom on the most recent top 100 rankings.

I guess Madlax can strut their stuff at the Fall tourney. Oh, no wait, they are not playing in that one.

You may want to worry about how the Crabs are going to beat VLC in the playoffs first.

Lots of delusion today. From what I have seen/heard, all three programs (FCA, True, and 91) are teams on their way down in 2026, not up.


But I know less about 91 than the other two - why no fall HoCo, and who they have beaten lately to have such optimism?

I am not a MadLax nor a Hawks parent, but knocking the team that MadLax did play (twice) does not answer the question - was it the choice of MadLax, or the choice of Hawks, that the two teams did not play each other? It seems odd that two top 10 teams, both of whom skipped fall HoCo, were at the same venue and did not play.

There are no playoffs

2-5 in the fall HOCO league isn't a good start to the rebuild. Rumors are flying that the remaining top talent is jumping ship. Wish you guys luck! It's nice to have competitive teams in the area.

I think that Looneys team beat 91 8-1 in the Summer. Crabs has a better chance than 91.

You win the "Best post of the day" award

No idea. Madlax dad that is bitter at the Hawks just wants to complain. It doesn't even look like the Hawks were in the tournament, just played two games on Sunday.

I sure hope there are - my son's coach told us to be there on Sunday!

Playoffs start Sunday at 330

Looks like Freedom is ranked #28...one spot ahead of Crabs.

Too bad Hawks and Looneys don't play...very disappointing.

I think the Looney's Team is much improved but they are still not ready for the Hawks based on what I have seen. They are 2-3 kids away from being elite.

Is Hawks the only Elite team?

Looneys went undefeated in HOCO. Beat Madlax capital 7-4. Lost the Madlax national team in overtime twice. I would say that puts them in the category.

I would also say this is all just getting started with new kids and a new coach. I think we need some time before we are ready for the Hawks but it’s coming.

Was that the choice of Rage, or of MadLax?

I was not at the Tournament this past weekend but saw the schedule on the Machine and follow this Board. In prior posts it was written that 1/2 of Hawks kids play football. This explains why they did not play on Saturday. When they played their two games on Sunday it only made sense that they play the teams from the west coast who traveled so far to sample East coast competition (all teams played 2x on Sunday). With only playing 2 games it seems it would not have been fair for Hawks to land in the championship game vs 91. It seems to me the Hawks were gracious to play w/o ability to make final and the tournament host was gracious to all teams that played 4 games to make that a requirement to play in final.

Crazy how obsessed posters are re Hawks and their Coach ducking teams, etc. My guess is they played on the non-football day just to get some game exposure ahead of next months more competitive schedule.

Wait, you are saying Crabs will beat Hawks this weekend? Please puff puff and pass whatever it is you are smoking.

This makes perfect sense and is a rare BOTC post without the attitude. Until the second paragraph.

Next weekend...

How do you bookmark posts on here?

My son's team has played against both teams recently and my prediction is Hawks by 4-6 goals. But I love the confidence of the Crabs!

Crabs? LOl. 91 whipped them over the summer.

Crabs would dominate 91 this fall...FACT

91 is not a top 5 DMV team

THIS is true. The 25’s who joined the 26 team have them winning now. But saying they will beat Hawks is just really funny silly talk.
