At least some of the TX kids are already on the ML roster. I would guess though that the TX kids are not flying in for HoCo, not even for the playoff games.

Crabs are in at the #5 seed over ML it is official.

Heard from a reliable source they are bringing in at lease 1 TX kid.

I don’t know who u heard that from but you sources are wrong. Fact check them next time brother

Why does it matter? Whoever makes the playoffs will certainly bow out to 91 on Saturday anyways...

This right here quite possibly might be the smartest thing anyone hAs said in this post - whoever it is gets ousted by 91 on Saturday.

Looking at the scores, Crabs did the best against 91 of all the teams.

Who’s playing Friday? Crabs v DCE, Madlax v Crabs or DCE v Madlax? Madlax and DCE are both saying differently.

I don’t know about that. Yes 91 is a very good group but someone is gonna take down the big dogs. Just a matter of when and who. What better timing to take them down in a playoff game

crabs is playing DCE friday night

91 looking at it is the team to beat but off the field they are having some problems which could hurt them going into the playoffs

Crabs scored the most goals against 91 but DC Express had the closest game; only team to hold 91 to 10 goals. Who is everyone taking in the other semi final? Hawks or Next Level?

Of what problems do you speak? Please elaborate and educate the forum....

Only off field issues 91 is dealing with is reading all the locker room talk from teams that think they have a shot to beat them.

Ha ha ha. That's funny. Maybe that's why they gave up the two goals to True. Prolly shoulda been a shutout.

what team do you believe has the best shot at taking down the big dogs AKA team 91?

Sweetlax, HHH, Hawks, LI Express and probably Madlax will beat 91

Haters gone detest. Beat Sweetlax Upstate and Florida last summer and fall, Hawks haven't beaten 91 in 3 years, beat Madlax already this spring and last fall. Last time they played HHH/Philly Special beat them. Haven't played LI E in almost 2 years, but betcha it'd be a win. Thanks for trying tho.

The only team that can beat 91 is 91.

Playoff predictions:
Crabs over dc
Next level over hawks
91 over crabs
Championchip game
91 over next level .

carbs has a good chance at 91

Thanks Mark

Anyone got a Regular Season All HoCo 1st team? 3 middies, 3 d, 3 attack, 1 goalie, 1 lsm, 1 fogo, 1 ssdm

Middies
T91MD #10 - Throw back 2-way mid. Scores from all over the field and plays solid defense.
T91MD #99 - Cannon for a shot. Scores a ton
Crabs #17 - Prototypical big mid. Shoots rockets from both sides

Attack
T91MD #77 - this kid is the real deal. Dodger and shooter. Finds the open space and takes advantage of it.
T91MD #9 - Without a doubt the QB of the 91 offense. W/O him they only score half of what they put up this spring
Next Level #27 - Moves off ball well to find the open space, hard to defend. Great hands free shooter.

FOGO
T91MD #0 - Did this guy go under 60% in any game this year?

LSM
Madlax #11 - Tall/long LSM with great range. Picks up a lot of GBs and causes TO's. Defends dodgers well.

SSDM
T91MD #18 - Great on ball defender, but has the speed to carry a clear to the offensive end.

Close Defense
T91 MD #37 - This guy always seems to be causing a TO and scooping a GB.
DC Express #22 - Very Athletic and rangy defender. Has a nose for causing TOs and getting GBs.
Madlax #15 - Big and strong Close D. Can take runs at LSM or a faceoff. Fundamentally sound. One of the best defenders I watched all spring.

Goalie
T91MD #29 - This guy made some incredible saves this year which really bailed his defense out on several occasions.

Good list.... but my two cents:

Mids:

Insert 91 #27 in for 91 #10

Attack:

Insert NL #1 in for 91 #77

FOGO:

Insert DCE fogo for 91 fogo

LSM:

Insert Crabs #41 in for ML #11

All others I agree

Disagree on the mids and attack. Crabs #17 is not as good as ML #1. And on Attack NL #27 is good but Crabs #16 is much better off ball. Also think NL #1 is at least as good as #99. Better athlete and more upside.

This is amazing. I honestly only know the specific #s and talents of my child’s team, and have seen one full game for the other teams only when they play us.

Given the standings I would assume at least Hawks has at least one person that should be on this list?

91 FOGO dominated DCE in their game. 60% at the dot and had a goal. I was already on the fence about the LSM spot between both of those players. I think either is a good choice.

What are the odds we see Crabs #17 and Next Level #27 join the dark side next season? Would anyone place money of that happening?

I’m sure Next Level and Hawks hope this is true

there isn't a HOCO season next year for the 2025 age

Yeah no kidding, they will be high school.

Haters gonna detest! Watch the film!

The winning teams get the accolades with a few mixed in:
Therefore:

Attack :
91 - #9, #77 - already been said about these two
NL - #27 - prob best dodger in the class
Hawks - #14 - QB with prob the most assists in the league
Honorable mention - DCE #21, #3, Madlax #3, FCA #50

Middies:
91 - #27, #10 - 27 is their best, though 10 is the two way middie
NL - #7 - Good dodger and scorer
Hawks - #21 - prob hardest shot in the league
Crabs - #17 - does it all for them
Honorable Mention - 91 - #99, NL #1, Hawks #17,

Def:
91 - #45 is their best def
NL - #9 - could be the best defender in the league
Hawks - #8 - great in transition
DCE - #22 - solid defender
Honorable Mention - Madlax #15, True (numbers are tough to see, but they have a good one),

LSM
NL - #8 hands down best LSM

FoGo
91 - #9 - enough said about him
Hawks - #6 (only kid to win some against 91 kid)

SSDMs - dont know them too well but two stand out
91 - #18 - solid on ball
Hawks - #00 - could be fastest kid in the league

Goalies
91 - hard to put one of them here since they haven't been tested, but the righty is better than the lefty.
Crabs - the lefty has kept them in some tight games, should be considered.

Agree with everything but for the goalies. Fca goalie #18 very solid should definetly be considered.

Agree on Defense, but think for LSM Crabs #41 is at least as good as NL #8. Didn't he come to Crabs from 91? And on Attack Crabs #16 and NL #1 are at least worthy of honorable mention if FCA #50 and NL #27 are on the list, as they run their teams offenses and if making the playoffs is the key metric they should both be in over ML and FCA. But don't believe the hype on Crabs #17. Shooting machine but not necessarily a finisher.

ATTACK:
NL #27
FCA #50
91 #9

MIDFIELD:
91 #99
91 #27
HAWKS #21

DEFENSE:
ML #15
DCE #22
NL #9

LSM:
CRABS #41

SSDM:
HAWKS #00

FOGO:
91 #0

GOALIE:
91 #29

I agree one hundred percent with this one

Only for the already holdbacks/reclassed/prefirsts, anyone not held back will be there next year. MD lacrosse as it should be played. LOL

from a dad standpoint watching my son play for 91 is basically just watching him stand for 40 minutes of there games they do not have any depth and some of there off the field problems may involve in there social life.
