BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums MID-ATLANTIC LACROSSE MARYLAND FORUM Boys 2026 Grads - Mid Atlantic Region

Couldn’t beat True and didn’t beat True are two different things. Lots of kids and families made the trip and there was no need for them to stand on the sidelines all day. Coach did the right thing. Kids beat the Hawks and all the kids played. It was a good day all around.

Semantics...2-1-1 is not a good day for that team, "lots" of those kids shouldn't have made the trip.

the bottom line is the team can win when it needs to and is a favorite to win the World Series.

Hawks #1 in inside lacrosse preseason WSYL rankings!

funny. You really can't make this one up. This forum is truly made up of dreamers

Actually he is right.

1 Annapolis Hawks
2 LI Express
3 Tigers XXXI
4 Sweetlax
5 Towermen
6 Orange Crush
7 FCA Upstate
8 7Flomes
9 Madlax
10 True IL 2026 Premier

what????? Orange Crush, FCA Upstate, 7Flomes. True?

It will be a battle of Hawks and sweetlax in championship.

Semantics...2-1-1 is not a good day for that team, "lots" of those kids shouldn't have made the trip.

“Those” kids tied your team. Maybe a little less chest pounding would be appropriate in this situation.

YES an Upstate team will be the Champs..don't doubt me. While the MD and LI parents bicker back and forth like schoolgirls on here, Upstate parents are humble and flying under the radar and know what our boys will bring to the field. Buckle up

Here is your first of many votes of doubt....you will all lose to LI Express by 15 in the north qualifier. Express and PT in the north final.

I can't wait to see the politics involved in the brackets at the qualifier. That will most likely determine who goes to the WSYL

Upstate parents WERE humble; but thanks to you, they are bickering schoolgirls like LI and MD.

😂

What are the NY parents on the MD forum bickering? Go back to your own forum.

First you laugh then you cry

So Black Ops is a team of kids from BLC, VLC, and Looneys?

I'm not one of the parents who are in the know about these things. VLC, BLC, and Black Ops are all entered in the Kickoff Tournament this weekend. Which team are these kids going to play for on the weekend? Their club team or Black Ops? I would assume the BLC and VLC coaching staffs would be pissed if their top players decided to play on a different team the week before Hoco starts.

Not trying to be snarky, really curious how people find time to balance two teams.

They are playing as Black Ops on Saturday and VLC / BLC etc on Sunday in the same tournament

correct. This isn't Brain surgery. Its just scheduling.

Thanks. I didn't dig into the schedules. Tourney Machine shows them all in the same pool. Didn't realize they separated them on different days.

I think that the "not snarky, just curious" poster is maybe too focused on other families' schedules. Boys this age, especially elite level players, have a ton of options. There are travel, rec, school, and "special" teams such as WSYL up the wazoo, plus some do private coaching, and some play other sports, and most go to private schools with heavy academic workloads. But most families figure it out, and those who bite off too much, will live and learn.
So don't waste too much time worrying about other families' scheduling conflicts.

A great post in a Sea of drivel!

Exactly. Absolutely pointless

Black Ops. Joke!!! Lose to Mad Dog lol

and True IL lol

Make it 0-3 for Black Ops.

0-3

Since Next Level is running this tournament, and Black Ops is formed specifically for the WSYL from NL, BLC and VLC players these games will meet one of the two tournaments that WSYL teams are required to play in before the WSYL tournament. So yes, scheduling, but for a specific purpose. This is why WSYL is a joke and all-star teams are able to get in.

All Star insinuates "great" but they went 0-3 today. Thats sad

Black Ops is a money grab.
$1,300 to be on a team as long as you know people.
Won’t advance thru qualifier unless they shore up the defense.
How do you pay that for 1 tournament?

Yep. Lost to Long Island Express 6-3 and it was 5-3 with a minute to go and just like the Hawks last week we didn’t win a single face off. And yes LI played all their starters.

First time the team has ever played together.

Was nice to see Rage’s new lap dog there watching our game.

I hope we play you at WsYL Hawks Daddy.

Who actually is “Rage’s lapdog”???

Guilty conscience?? You know exactly who you are. Lackey!

Hilarious; obviously you didn’t watch any of their games.

I am confused by the LI Express team. There were close to 35 players on the team including 3 goalies. Are they still trying to figure out who is on the WS team? Or are there age ineligible kids on the team and those on the sideline are actually the WS team?

West Coast Starz Gold Dad - what was the score of the game against the Hawks? (not in Tourney Machine yet)

Who is rage? who is his laptog?

Funny you post online but didn’t say anything to the man who was standing right on the sideline with you. Sounds like a coward to me

VLC 26 and BO seem to be basically the same team with BO adding a few better players from the other clubs. BO/VLC playing almost the same opponents, same results and VLC showing slightly worse? Saw some of the VLC games today and not the BO games yesterday, but the scores seem to show that: same opponent, less talent, less result today from VLC.
VLC only seemed to want to play the last 5 min of games, or just got goals in garbage time versus 2nd teamers.

These posts always make me laugh. Someone who knows the price tags and takes a shot at the team. Sorry your son got cut; tell him to keep working hard.
