You can have the 5 best players in the Conference on your team but if the next 9-11 players aren't very good, you won't even make the semis in this League. I've seen teams with a handful of 1-3rd team D1 AAs on the same team not make the playoffs much less win the A Conference championship. Its about having the top 15-17 players (AKA the best team) period plus a championship caliber coaching staff. Hot goalie play and a dominant FO game are often the deciding factor when the talent is somewhat equal among the top teams. Its hard to accumulate championship caliber critical mass. You need to have both great recruiting and strong player development along with a top flight coaching staff to win it all. Occasionally one team runs away with it because their second line middies are almost as good as everyone else's firsts but that's a rarity. Calvert Hall has had its way with MIAA last few years. Frankly they will be MIAA champions next few years with their recruitment and player development. McD and BL are starting to see the light. Both will recruit and board more players in future Calvert Hall will not be king this spring, if there is a spring. YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST! And it 100% will not be Archbishop Spalding

Its a toss up this year: CHC, Loyola, MCD, and BL in no particular order. A weak year in the MIAA depth wise. Teams will rely on stellar coaching, role player contributions and underclassmen development to succeed.

You Spaulding haters clearly do not know lacrosse.
The two attackman, multiple middies, defense along with the multiple MLL coaches and owner will bring Spaulding multiple MIAA Championships.

I’m willing to bet any amount that they don’t even win one championship in the next 10 years. Put your money where your mouth is and ante up.

Spaulding has never even made the playoffs but they are gonna herd up talent like a lacrosse St. Frances and a bunch of malcontent dads and cast off old coaches will lead them to the promised land. Book it!

I have something relevant.
My kid plays in the WCAC and says that Phipps, Ripley and Cottle are trying to recruit some of his teammates to play at Spalding. Apparently they are telling WCAC players that most of their players are bad and they will play right away. Also, Ripley is telling everyone the WCAC isn’t playing this fall.
Any truth to this?

I expect at minimum a Championship title game from them this year. [ChillLaxin], especially at Archbishop Spalding. No one wants to play at that dumpy school in Severn. Also who the heck are all these transfers you’re talking about? Because anyone sending their kid to a wcac school isn’t gonna their kid to Archbishop Spalding so they can hang around all the delinquents who got kicked out of public school. As for the coaches, that will make absolutely zero difference, and will probably make the team even worse. Having a bunch of mll and mll owners won’t do anything. I’ll take Brian Kelly, Trey, Farrell, Nostrant, Ubriaco, or Lilly over any of the dopes over at Spalding

Not a Spalding fan. But if there is every a year for them to make a run this is the year. After that they lose to much from the 21’s and a few good 22’s they have can’t make up the difference. Weakness will be fogo and goalie but just picked up a good fogo from public.

Weakness will be fogo and goalie but just picked up a good fogo from public. They still need 1-2 poles, 1 attackman, 2 middies and a top flight keeper (or one of their current ones to stand on his head) to crack the top four easily. If Cottle is coaching there, they'll have the best coach in the League by far so that could be worth 2-3 goals per game. If they play in the Spring and Cottle can work his magic, look for Spalding to shock the world....

Dave had the most talented teams multiple years at Loyola and couldn’t do ANYTHING. Remember the undefeated season when UMD beat them by 10! Over coaching, and too controlling! Clearly, you don’t know the man or his history. Fired from UMD, and you think because Fat man and Tom pay him a ton of money that will change!?

😂 Spalding is joke. Cottle and Hogan live in Lids. They don’t about Spalding. He is their mark. Squeeze as much money out of him as they can til little lid is riding the pine in college.

Just off I-97, amidst cornfields planted between the Anne Arundel County Landfill and Glen Burnie, is a playing field destined to become legendary in our sport. You know Homewood Field, Norris Field, etc. Well, get ready to add Whittles Field to this list. A group of young men and their dads and some paid consultants are joining forces to make history on this field! (Note: Some of these young men were specifically ASKED to join the program. Sorry/Not sorry if your son was not asked to join.) Snowflakes stand aside. There is a new sheriff in town and he is wearing black and red and is ready to add AT LEAST an A conference playoff appearance to his trophy case of B Conference championships. It is Cav time!
