Re: Boys 2026 Grads - Mid Atlantic Region TheBackOfTheCage #318891 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A agree with the FCA not being on the list. Other than 1 defender, they pretty much are a bunch of B level players, playing in the elite division. Better kids that were there left for other teams apparently. Not sure why 91 would not belong. They have been a competitive for quite some time and have some talent at all positions. Like Reply Quote

Caring-on those Christian values instilled by the HC. Like Reply Quote

Re: Boys 2026 Grads - Mid Atlantic Region Anonymous #318938 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A Originally Posted by Anonymous Does any team go winless? 0-8 By definition, the bottom team in the division has potential to go winless. If I were one of the 4 teams in the discussion for the last two spots (91, FCA, NextLevel, True) it would be a close call whether I preferred to be in Elite or AAA. The top 3-5 Elite teams are loaded with holdbacks and at age 13-14 an extra year of development is huge. A team of on age players might have a better experience in AAA, which has plenty of good teams too. Like Reply Quote

Re: Boys 2026 Grads - Mid Atlantic Region TheBackOfTheCage #318983 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A By my count that leaves just seven in Elite - Hawks, Looneys, Crabs, BLC, VLC, MadLax, and NextLevel - am I forgetting somebody? And by the way, I am not sure that NextLevel is ready or would want to be in Elite, and have heard that Crabs and VLC cannot both be in because they are under common ownership. Like Reply Quote

Re: Boys 2026 Grads - Mid Atlantic Region TheBackOfTheCage #319185 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A Will be interesting to see how the spring plays out. What would be cool for the MD lacrosse community is a near term scrimmage (say mid February) between the best 2 Clubs in AA County - True Annapolis vs Hawks. All it would take is a phone call from one coach to the other to pick an agreeable date and place. Surly would answer a lot of questions and set the tone for what might be in the coming season.

FCA not elite anymore and NXTLevel won the B division in Fall HOCO. BLC was missing its best players. Looneys won Fall HOCO and VLC lost to them 1-5. You got drubbed twice by Crabs . Beating up zingos and roughriders dont make you elite. You really want to go winless in the elite bracket?? You think that is good for your boys? Good luck. Like Reply Quote
