Madlax beat the Hawks in July. They battle back and forth. Great competition for the 2 best 28 teams in this area, hands down. Uhh NextLevel would like a word đ

There are kids from the Shore on Hawks, True and FCA. Itâs not that hard to figure out. Nobody goes East.

Hawks are out there with the entire eastern shore and southern MD up to DE to snag players from.
Huge recruiting area + oldest roster = a terrific team.
They will be very hard to beat until 8th grade when they will come back to the pack. Yes, they have exclusive access to the hotbed of Delaware lacrosse! Other teams only get pipelines from Virginia and Marylandâs western shore, two of the worst states on the seaboard for lacrosse and athletes in general. Would love to hear you describe supply and demand. Most of the clubs playing in HoCo have rosters from 1-2 counties only, and are competing with 5-10 other clubs in that same county. Kelly Post doesn't have a kid traveling more than about 10 miles to practice. Madlax, maybe 20-25 miles. Whereas On the eastern shore, the best 2 players at every MS/HS have two "competitive" tryout options: Hawks and 302. Driving 1-2 hours each way to practice. It's a nice big geography to work with. And to boot, 302 gets about 1/2 of their players from Wilmington DE private/boarding schools, and Hawks gets a ton of their players from right in Annapolis (and 30 miles south, north and west not including the entire eastern shore). You know nothing. There are a ton of options on the eastern shore. 302 is not one of them. If youâre good and live in Wilmington you try out for Philly area teams. No one from Wilmington plays for the Hawks. Madlaxâs entire offense comes from Charlottesville. Kids want to play with great players and great coaches. The Hawks is one option. Stop whining. This is the oddest argument and your evidence is terrible. Youâre a donkey. Itâs okay. Just move on. LOL list all the other amazing club opportunities on Delmarva. And he may be a donkey but he clearly referred to WILM kids playing for 302, which they do. Still waiting for that mind bending list of Delmarvalous clubs that perform at the same level as Hawks and 302. "Tons of options." Ladies and Gentlemen, All you need to know about this donkey is that he thinks the Hawks and 302 perform at the same level. You can find the list of club lacrosse options at a website called USCL.com. There are many. None are as strong as any of the teams playing Elite, but there are options. Thatâs what I wrote. And enough with the Hawks. Youâre embarrassing yourself and advertising the free rent a bunch of kids have in your head. Also, itâs never too late to develop critical thinking skills. There are these things called âbooks.â You can find them in these places called âthe library.â Theyâre terrific. I suggest starting with a wonderful series called The Berenstain Bears. Those bears are always learning something. You might too!

Koopers didnât have enough kids.they had 12 at first then they kept dropping. When other teams hold 25-30 kid rosters itâs hard to sustain. So does 91 dress all 30 for the game? Or are the âpractice playersâ in sweatsuits on the sideline like the scout teamers at ohio state You can complain about a lot of players in a team. It does help with practice and scrimmaging within a team. Not saying kids shouldn't all get field time. In this area it was helpful to have Koopers league too since one 40m a week game goes fast. Not sure why that isn't running but it was helpful. But the Koopers Club is (sort of) separate from the (former) Koopers/St Pauls league. Several clubs have tried and failed to grow a 2028 team in MD. Maybe it's because 91 and NL now want to put 30 kids on the roster. Maybe it's because FCA's new model is like girls lax, with their 3x 2028 teams. I think part of it is that (some of) the rec clubs are putting better coaching, facilities, and opportunities in front of their players than in the past, and defections won't hit until after 8th grade. Predators has a ton of kids too like 91. Big difference in talent from top to bottom. Wouldn't surprise me if they put out two teams next year at 2028.

Let me put this dense discussion out of its misery by pointing out that Coastal Academy is marginally better than 302, all the time. The other 6? Delaware clubs are non sequitor. But technically there are "3" decent to elite clubs that serve DMV

Terrible game or forfeit? True Director wanted to be on the sidelines without a badge. He was asked for it multiple times. Didnât produce it. Ignored further requests for it. So True was made to forfeit.

NL had Hawks on the ropes. No doubt, best game of the year so far. How did NL get so much better? Did they get players from Mad Lax? I see the guys who used to make all the penalties are gone.

Itâs mostly the same kids. Difference is they only play about 14 of the 25 on the roster more than a couple minutes.

Next Level vs Hawks was a world class battle and so fun to watch. Congrats to both teams. It was like Balboa vs Creed. Somebody had to lose but both deserved to win. They are the clear cream of this crop.

Hawks are a terrific team and their fans are great too. Hawks scored with 20 seconds in regulation to tie the game and then won it with 2 seconds left in OT.

Both Goalies were phenomenal throughout the game. NL did a excellent job facing off! Hawks had great transition offense and also showed poise while performing like an experienced team in crucial moments.

I think the Hawks Fogo may have actually got the better statistically over the NL Fogo, but it was pretty close. Madlax has no chance of continuing to compete without an Elite Faceoff guy. Actually glad to see NL overtaking mAdlax for the moment. Better parents, better kids, less BS. Hawks still the cream of the crop in the Mid-Atlantic and the nation

Every kid on the Hawks is either 11 or 12, but you think what you need to think to soothe your little man ego. It really takes a special kind of person to trash a group of kids with lies.
Hats off to NL. Great team, coaches, and parents.
