Who?

Hawks

Well done, Hawks.

Did they play HoCo league? I can’t find them.

Way to go 2026 Hawks!!!

2029,2027, 2025 Hawks teams all made the championship games

Team Maryland won the A division of HoCo. Don't know if that was the red or white team. Honestly, I didn't know they had two teams.

Madlax had a good weekend 3-0 on day one and then lost to a really good Tigers team. Finished with a win over Prime Time.

New to the team? First tournament win?

Crabs holdbacks couldn’t beat a non hold back team..also VLC looked pedestrian without the crab reinforcements (black ops)

MadLax looked great at every position. Really well coached and disciplined. Fantastic team.

Agreed, Madlax is one of the best teams for sure. Should be probably top 3.

Look at the scoreboard. The top 3 from NAL are the top 2

BlackOps has BLC and FCA kids, not Crabs. VLC was missing a few key players but still should have performed better. At least not 0-3 like True

Injuries?

Actually Black Ops has BLC, NextLevel, Looneys, and VLC, but not FCA.

Speaking of FCA they seemed to have better and bigger kids at NAL than they did in HoCo - a good class of holdbacks?

Speaking of BLC, very disappointed in them getting smoked by a PA team. Other than Tigers, losing to the PA teams should be considered unacceptable for any HoCo Elite teams.

Speaking of Looney's, very disappointed that they went to the wrong part of NJ and played the Jersey Summer Invitational and lost to the Long Island Outlaws, but they did look good against the NXT B team

Why wouldn’t Looney play in one of the most elite tourneys of the summer? That does seem rather strange.

Has anyone considered writing a song about the Hawks victory this weekend? Like maybe with an acoustic guitar?

How long did it take you to come up with that one?

The tourney is invite only, based on team ability and politics. I assume they were not invited or they would have played.

Get ready to win a Grammy! Cause all the Hawks do is winnnnn!

And this, my fellow Back of the Cagers, is why we continue to come to this site. Gold. Absolute Gold.

Fly hawks fly

Respect where it’s due. Made my night. Feeling the urge to get out my puka shell necklace….

Pure delight.

You have no idea what you are talking about.

Looney's wouldn't have gotten out of pool play at NAL so can't fault them for not going. I'm sure they reloaded the roster to try and win Young Guns this weekend. Btw, why is it always spelled YoungGunz on TourneyMachine and Young Guns on Crabs website?

All for street cred. You know the mean streets of Lake Avenue and Roland Park

Then please tell us....What happened?

I seriously don't get it. Anonymously mocking pre-teens on the interwebs = absolute gold? Uh, ok. I guess if that's your thing....

World Series Schedule and Pools are out, any predictions?

Pool A - Hawks, ADVNC, Israel, BBL, Team 91 LI, Stealth

Pool B - Sweetlax, Alcatraz Outlaws, VLC Black Ops, Eclipse, True MN, Prime Time

Pool C - Tigers, SoCal Express, Madlax Monuments, Jersey Express, Northern Pacific, 2Way

Pool D - LI Express, FCA Upstate, Towermen, True IL, Team West, Southern Stars

Hawks 2026 is living rent free in the heads of so many adults. I would say absolute gold is beating them, but punching at shadows on an anonymous forum will have to do for now.

Does that kid still play for Hawks?

Based on the qualifiers, Hawks, SL, Tigers, LIE win their pools but that is not going to happen. Similar to NCAA March madness you can have a team get hot or an unknown come out take down the bigs. Hot teams right now are Towerman (beat SL and took hawks to OT), Jersey Express who doesn’t seem to back down from anyone and Hawks who grinded out NAL. The unknowns that will be fun to watch are the Stars from the south and the other “all star” teams with monuments and black ops. Advnc won the west and did not fair well against the east teams and true IL who won the central is very good but struggled against the top tier of east coast teams. Biggest question is if a non NY team will win for the time since the tournament’s inception. I’m taking the field with one of Tigers, Hawks, or black ops taking down LIE who has built their team organization around this one event.
