VLC, True, FCA...that's half of the elite division if you add in what they'll do to 91.

The other Crabs 2026 goalie is already at BL

Sorry but none of those teams are elite if we are being honest here. How about the top 10-20 team in the country and scores?

☝️ Yes. Can we please stop using Hoco Elite teams as elite. Use top 20 rankings. Hoco Elite is watered down to day the least.

Give me a break. Have you looked at the US CLub lacrosse rankings for the top 20? A third of the teams are from the mid west / south that have played only a few games and are now highly ranked. Those teams would get smoke by every HOCO elite team. That ranking right now is pretty questionable. Maybe look at in August.

Apology accepted.

I can't tell if this is a Hawks Dad bragging about their high scores, or a Hawks detractor showing that those scores are a thing of the past. Have they beaten anybody by ten goals, even weaker teams like 302, Israel, etc. in the last nine months?

There is no point in Hawks parents ever being on this board. Here's how this went:

"The Hawks stink. They haven't beat anyone by 10 goals."

[Insert long list of games in the last year.]

"Those teams stink!"

And earlier...

"The Hawks stink! Their time is over. The Crabs will smoke them, hahaha!"

[Hawks win 6-4]

"They didn't win by enough!" "They only won because the have a couple good players!" "They stink!"

Honestly, ya'll. Reading this board is a masterclass in Small Man Syndrome. Focus on your team and hug your sons.

Hawks didn’t steal any goalie from Crabs. He didn’t make the team and had to find a new home.

Agree that Hawks parents should stay off the Board, and keep their mouths shut on the sidelines. The behavior of Lumber boy and the rest of their Dads is why they get dumped on so much. Nobody trashes the other good teams such as Tigers, CoachC, Crabs the way they trash the Hawks. Have you ever wondered why that is?

You forgot to mention that VLC, who averages 4-5 goals per game, hung 12 on the Hawks.

Well, I've personally never had an issue with any of the Hawks parents, but you seem like a real gem of a guy! (And also really tough!) Sorry, but what might have been entertaining once is now pretty stale. You keep doing you though.

Pretty sure Crabs has 2 goalies on the 2026 team - 1 who's been at BL since kindergarden and 1 who's at McDonogh (or going to McD next year - not sure which). If another goalie left Crabs for Hawks, he got cut and wasn't ever going to BL unless he wanted to back up the other kid.

BL's starting goalie is a 2022 and is committed to Rutgers. They also have a very good 2024 goalie who is on varsity this year.

Thanks Hawks Dad.

Nope. Hugs only happen if his team wins. Losses only gets more time hitting the wall.

I’m sorry to disappoint you but I’m actually a guy simply tired of all the Hawks obsession disguised as “trashing them.” Keep talking about “Lumber Boy” though. It’s hilarious!!

He's an easy target! 😂

Got to experience “91 Dad” today - “that’s the fire we need” as he son get laid out and takes offense to the hit and chest bumps the LSM for Crabs. The entire game he was whining on the bleachers watching his son become obsolete this year. I wouldn’t even put him in the top 20 attackman in the HOCO league.

Any scores from the early games?

This just in...Team91 is still trash.

Crabs 14 - 3 Team 91

DC Express Black 13 - 5 FCA

Madlax Capital 5 - 6 VLC

This just in... King Crab is still a BadPerson. There I fixed it for you.

Hawks 6 - 5 True Annapolis

Crabs 14 91 3
DCE 13. FCA 5
VLC 6. Madlax 5
Hawks 6 True 5

Imagine that.

There’s no MM offspring on that team.

Crabs 14 - 3 Team 91

DC Express Black 13 - 5 FCA

Madlax Capital 5 - 6 VLC

Hawks 6 - 5 True

No surprises here.

The end of the Crabs/91 game was interesting. Almost a fight at the end and in the handshake line. And a few of the 91 parents were going insane. Thought there may be a fight in the stands. Classy

And the Crabs are really good. It helps they are almost all 15. Their physical maturity shows.

notIntelligent question here. Can someone please tell me the difference between the Hardshells and the Crab Hard Shells. Seems like they are the same team, but are listed separately in the US Club Rankings

Crab Hard Shells 4-6 ranked #168 with a rating of 86.16
Hardshells Lacrosse 4-1 Not Ranked with a rating of 90.26

News flash. Half the teams won, half the teams lost. There’s a league website. Scores are added as games are played. I know its hard to just look them up there instead of coming on here and asking and waiting for an answer. You lose the drama that takes place, which is why you really want to know, otherwise you would have just gone here- https://www.ghclacrosse.com/page/show/7105132-boys-2026-divisions

Next step. Trash the teams who lost, tell everyone they don’t belong in elite, bash the dad you can’t stand, rip the coaching staff apart, complain about individual players, tell us how so and so should not be on the team because he drives, and make the last little jab about someone’s wife because their kid got more time than yours.

Then finish by saying “but no dog in the fight, just curious”. BOTC in a nutshell.

Obviously your son was on the losing end Saturday or a hawks Dad who wasn’t happy with another 1 goal win.

Sorry your son’s team lost. Better luck next week.

And?

Most crab players aren’t almost 15 yrs old, they’re already 15.

They are the same team. US club is a joke.

He probably won’t play much anywhere since he’s constantly injured.

The best! But you forgot, “Go about your day thinking you’re the man because you have no self awareness.”

Why are you here

Looneys proves again that they are ELITE. Big 8-5 win over HOCO!!!
