The only reason LB coaches flooded the field with backups while they were so far ahead is to ensure they got their 2-mins of fame and are now ineligible to transfer schools...suckers!!! Enjoy the bench fellas!!!

Brunswick beat Gtown prep 11-7
St Mary’s beat Gtown prep 10-2

How about you stm dads stay off social media bragging about a scrimmage? Clowns.

Severna park? So tough

6-1 end of 1st half. SJC let bench play. Wasn’t a competition for starters.

Every team this year is GC when they play St. John’s.

First time ever to watch 3 refs sprint and straight run to their cars after the MSJ/Catonsville game… They knew how bad they messed up… Criminal the way MSJ was treated…

Catonsville best MSJ 9-8 today.

Loyola dad here...we would all like that guy to take it down about 10 notches.

Facts! I read this in the Calvert County Times. Apparently, a recent Gallup Poll revealed that next to the economy and ahead of the war in Ukraine, nationally, people were concerned about Brunswick’s scheduling.

Boy, that's really weak and a disservice to MSJ's kids, implying they were incapable of controlling their own destiny. If MSJ was penalized once, I don't recall it. CHS was penalized, and rightly so, in excess of 5 times - that's 5 or more EMO opportunities, a couple of which MSJ took advantage of, but fewer than they could have. Thought questionable non-goal calls were even. Looked like CHS scored one that was missed in the 1st half, and the same happened to MSJ in the 2d half. Yesterday, looked like 2 reasonably-even-matched teams went at it, and one came up a goal short. The refs weren't perfect, but humans rarely are, and to imply that they were an insurmountable problem or the reason MSJ lost is to cheapen the efforts/play of both teams.

Refs should hit the wall

Refs should have to play a scrimmage against St. Mary’s.

Agree 100%. MSJ had its chances but they seemed very undisciplined in the second half. Catonsville got it done. Kudos to the Catonsville kids. They celebrated after the game and rightly so. Big win for them. Props to Catonsville for winning and props to MSJ for playing Catonsville every year. It was a great atmosphere at CHS yesterday as the two schools are so close to one another. I hope they continue the tradition.

Get a grip. MSJ was penalized multiple times, especially in 4th Qtr. The problem with these games is MIAA plays by college rules-publics don’t. Cville goalie got the ref to reverse a goal call where the MSJ shooter stepped in crease after the ball was clearly in cage-because that is how he is use to playing. There were so many bad calls in the 4th Qtr that it would take an hour to list. Nothing for MIAA teams to gain in these games.

The refs were probably calling the game close so it would not get out of hand like the last time an MSJ played a Public team at Westminster.

First, the refs; now, the rules. MSJ penalties in the 4th qtr/so many bad calls - list anyway. I've got an hour.

The funny thing is, 30 days ago, you CHC dads would not have entertained (with even a single taunt) the possibility that LB would have a chance against CHC. Results against common opponents aren't everything, but they aren't nothing. Should be a great game but I think I'd be wary of big talk on behalf of CHC.

It sure looks to me like 2 of the 3 pre season Dads' Darlings (CHC and Spalding) are going to end up with a "worse than anticipated" season. STM on the other hand, who did punch LB in the mouth in Week 1, seems to be operating at a pretty high level.

Which team doesnt make it? Severn, BL, Spaulding, Loyola, McD, or Calvert Hall?

Why did STM keep a very large jv and varsity roster and cut out fresh/soph?

Why did STM carry a huge jv and varsity and cut out fresh/soph?

Been the knock on this program for years, Talent that is not used properly and coaching decisions that leave you scratching your head..all leading to poor results.

It was 12-7 actually, and Brunswick's first game of the season whilst GP was a month into there's.

Let him know, that his quarter zip is gone if behavior continues.

This program is in need of a big change. Been floundering for years with the five star players in abundance. Letting one player dodge from all over the field with occasional highlights at the expense of team is on the staff. He would have been benched on most teams for some of his ill timed dodges or shots, or at least sat down and given some guidance

Nope, Brunswick was 4th . Coming in 3rd, Spaldings possibility of getting a bunch of StM and Severn players next year. Iron sharpens Iron and the players know where the Iron is.

That same group was able to beat McDonogh.

Just the remnants of the Liquid Lunch over at CC of MD.

There’s a lot of pent up angst in those Loyola stands.

Glad they were able to get a win and play some kids. Lots of self-proclaimed “better options” sitting on the sidelines.

Prep would beat STM right now. They were not ready 2nd game of the season. And it’s “their’s,” not “there’s.” Hit the Grammar wall, buddy.

Lol

More like Peter Millar than a 1/4 zip and more like BCC than CC of MD, but otherwise close to accurate...

Peter Millar. The best corporate-wear around!

We built a new stadium, but it’s still filled with the same miserable people.

We need a change, but it’s probably not gonna happen. To get where we want to be I think it’s gonna take a regime change, new program philosophy, and a purge of some current families.

So yeah, the liquid lunches and shenanigans in the stands will likely continue for a while.

What’s so wrong with a little in-game tailgating in the stands!!??

Because their field is 1/2 hour from the school and the logistics kill them. Same reason they didn't have a middle school team.

Agree, some liquid refreshments while bundled up in the latest Quarter Zip . Life is good

Based on what exactly? Prep lost their 4th to Landon. You can make that claim if the game was close but it was 10-2.

I’m going to steel the grammar wall… thanks for that one.

Takeaways from BOTC MD HS thread in 2022.
- Loyola coaching staff needs to go and there is a roid raging quarter zip that needs to chill
- STM coaching staff needs to go and they won't answer the phone
- McDonogh coaching staff needs to go and top ranked 5 star among the many other 5 stars shoots too much
- CHC coaching staff needs to go. Wrong kids are on the field and they are behind due to covid.
- St. Paul's administration needs to go, but Predators are on the way to save the day
- Spalding coaching staff may not stick around after this year, but the 2025s are locked in and pizza and ice cream are on the house
- Severn is 2nd in the league, but not for real
- MSJ is winless in the league and in their neighborhood

"Steel?"

All that is needed is to look at who's running the O. Same dude whose boss is the father of the one player dodging from all over the field.

Good stuff, now for the Cliff Notes response:
LB: New AD (to be named as they have an interim now) will replace the Loyola HC within 18 months. Assistants will be replaced or shuffled around like the deck chairs on the Titanic.
STM: The coaches are on the boat when not on the field. Their land lines don't work when afloat. They are undefeated so why answer the phone?
MCD: No change coming here for at least 5-10 years. Being competitive is the bar, not winning the championship. This is not the BL lacrosse culture.
CHC: No change coming for another 8-10 years. All is well on LaSalle Avenue. Look for them to compete with BL for the crown in the near future.
SP: The natives are restless in Brooklandville. Interesting mix of the red cup and grey poupon crowd. Could be incendiary? How many leads can you blow in one season?
Spalding: They will float back to the middle of the pack and meander there after their 2022s graduate. Coaching staff is very talented but are they going to come back?
Severn: They are extremely well coached but may struggle more down the stretch, Winning every FO is a nice luxury.
MSJ: If only they could get the laxers from West side and Howard County, they would rule the world. For now, its a great school if you play a revenue sport.
BL: They will continue to win it all because lacrosse is their lead sport and identity.

STM coaches holding out to guarantee an embarrassment would not be coming in to stain the program as a coach. Worked out for the school in the long run. They will be fine.
