No one is targeting any kids, just their nauseating parents and coaches who CONSTANTLY talk trash about other programs and their players… there are 330 pages of it!



Karma

Hawkward

Because they say the same garbage to opposing kids on the sidelines.

👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

VLC parent here..... was so happy watching the joy in my son and his teammates following their win, at the same time, watching the Hawks walk off the field with tears in their eyes made me feel for them. People need to chill when criticizing 13 year old boys playing a sport they love with teammates they love. Great game Hawks

Anyone have a link to Jake's protein shakes?

VLC is a class organization. Hawks could take some lessons.

☝🏻

Agree

Just witnessed a group of Hawks parents whining about the Black-Ops Team being made up of 5 different teams. These were the same parents making fun of this team back in the early Fall and on this board. Stay Classy Hawks Parents your kids are listening.

Anyone know if the Final is being televised?

My son played agains Hawks in a HoCo game and was stripped of the ball and a bunch of Hawks a Dads yelled “nice try #9” and “you stink” and so forth. I watched other Hawks games and saw it again and again. Nice group of families. Finally they are exposed as a team that can’t win without put their holdbacks.

At 5:00 PM ON ESPN

Tell your son to protect his stick.

Boohoooooo

Not a Hawks fan here and this comment may be a stretch. VLC seems to have its dark side as well.

You are correct.

Get over the lost Hawks Dad. Stop being a Hawkward , Stay classy

Please do tell...🍿

Rage was literally recruiting Black Ops kids at the Banquet. You can not make this up. Not even 24 hours after the L! 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

And how many people on this page can say they “get” this.

Nah, gotta scan your flow code for that.

Hahaha. What a mess.

Sunday. 5PM, ESPN2

Clearly LI Express has captured the #1 spot at the 2026 level. They were definitely the BEST team at the WSYL. So the question is who rounds out the top 10; taking into consideration the holdbacks.

Longpoles?

Talked to one Hawks family in the elevator this morning. The boy said he, and his teammates were pulling for Express to win it all

I'm confused on black Ops. Wasn't it an Allstar team made for the world series? How can they be ranked when their players will be going back to their other clubs?

Correct. Those players get along and respect one another

It is nice to see the Hawks (and their coach, and their dads) lose. I can't say that I have seen a "dark side" to VLC; but, the sham existence of Black Ops may be what people criticize them for. But when you see other teams getting new players (players getting jerseys in the parking lot and kids "re-classing" that day after plating in the 25 teams game) for playoffs in HoCo; it seems par for the course. Kids need to learn to lose, so that they can bounce back and succeed in life. The Hawks' dads, at least the ones who post here are just classless arrogant buffoons. To derive pleasure form your child's success is appropriate. To think it appropriate to mock kids on every other team, as Hawks' dads frequently do (in this forum and at the field) is contemptible. But they are following their leader. And they do win a lot at the cost of their dignity.

Eclipse lost to a pretty bad Alcatraz team. Hawks struggled without over age kids.

Express

False. This team will continue.

1. Express.
2. Tigers
3. Blackops (beat hawks)
4. Sweetlax (stings but 0-6 vs Express)
5. Hawks (lost to VLC, Stealth, Tigers, Edge, LXC)
6. LXC
7. Towermen
8. Crabs
then bumkiss nada zero after

How so? Players not returning to their regular teams?

sorry jersey express is poo, do not equate them with anything but

BBL is top 5 !

Sweetlax clearly second only to express at WSYL. That should have been the final two teams. After them it should be
Tigers, Black Ops, Towermen.

Agree on JE, total poop

1. Express
2. Sweetlax
3. Tigers
4. Black Ops
5. Hawks
6. Stealth
7. MadDog N
8. BBL
9. Towerman
10. Crabs

There is virtually zero margin in spots 2-10, any one of those teams could beat the other on any given day.
