That was done to make room for the BL boarders and hurt competing schools by cutting their players but keeping BL players. The boarding school is 100% about getting more out-of-state and Canadian athletes in, that’s why it’ll be the only 7 day boarding school in the area.

Do you not realize that Hilgy is also with Crabs and so was the Gilman coach until this upcoming year where he will probably jump to 91.

This is the densest post I’ve ever read on this board. You can’t pick what level you want to play in each year so you can have a winning record . A school like St P would be moving up and down every year because they can’t be consistent winners in any sport. The last 5-6 years they would have been better playing in the C conference playing teams like Friends and Curley.

No it is called pick a level that you think you can consistently compete in. I am not saying pick a level based on sport. I am saying pick a level and stay with it. Calvert Hall, McD, MSJ, Spalding consistently play A sports whether they have solid teams or not. Other schools want to cherry pick level based on the sport. For example, BL plays A level in lax & basketball and B in many other sports. Be fair to all your sports and pick a level for all. These four teams I just mentioned go through lean years at times, but they tough it out.

Hot take: St Paul’s should really be B Conference in everything.

Hotter take:Yes

Molten Hot Lava: They are a B program, waiting to switch.

Predators can’t produce any worse kids for ST Paul’s than rock and Koopers!! Lol

Is this typically what happens to rising freshman in the Bmore?
Crabs is molting, Looneys is losing kids, Breakers is broken, Rock is crumbling. Team 91 not changing team. Koopers, Green Turtle, FCA picking up some scraps and there is a new Predator in town with some of the coaches that have jumped ship from the aforementioned teams.

To answer your question....YES !! and of course hold their son back as much as they can,

Hawks just got bought by company consolidating youth sports.

That is big news.. Is it Lids Company

Heard they bought Breakers too.

Team 91 has loaded up with a few new players, Looks like they will be a dominate team this year and the team to beat. Some really good players at attack probably best attack unit at that age group .

The rich get richer. Not just the attack but the entire offense is extremely tough to stop. New additions make them all the tougher. #1 in the country hands down. Again

Thanks Mark

Welcome. Facts are Facts

My son has played lacrosse for 6 years and never lost to a Team 91 team. That is also a fact.

When you play in HoCo B you never play 91 MD so you can't lose to them. Fact.

I'll put money down that MM son #2 will also end up #1 Recruit when the time comes. Not willing to bet if he'll be a '25, '26 or '27 by then though!

What's the outlook for the summer? Who will be the best in and around MD?
No clue where kids are landing since many teams transition from 8th to HS.

It's a garbage shoot as many teams are still forming and figuring out if they are even fielding teams. So my super-early call for MD area rankings for this summer:

1) 91
2) Hawks
3) Next Level
4) FCA
5) DC Express
6) Crabs (if they find a coach)
7) MadLax Cap
8) True Annap
9) Koopers
10) Preds
11) Cannons
12) Team MD

I did not think Preds were even forming a 25 team?
