No drama at all; they’re just not as good as they think they are. No drama, just a dose of reality.

No drama at all; just a bunch of trolls making a big deal out of a bad weekend. This Team will continue to grow and get better! Why aren't the Hawks and DCE in NLF?[/quote]

Hawks missing at NLF.

So I guess you only beat DCE because they had a bad day. Or does that excuse only go one way?

You would know, that’s what they did to Joe.

2 bad days if I remember correctly....thanks for playing

Are the crabs actually developing players or just collecting pieces and proclaiming superiority? It just seems like an MIAA political machine without a strong team dynamic or environment where players get better.[/quote]

100% developing players. Bottom line is if your kid doesn't perform after countless practices and games he is going to get replaced. Just like in HS.....next man up. Just ask BL, CH, McD etc.[/quote]

Fake news and you obviously have no clue to what is going on within the team. BTW nice job naming names dad.

DCE isn't good enough to be at NLF.

DCE goalie dad has to scout new teams to move to. it ha been to long in one uniform Rage is testing new anti-psychotic meds. The protocol requires a quarantine period.

Got 3 teams on the radar!

That was Roughriders

Rumor mill, that didn't happen, obviously you were not at the game,

Roughriders coach didn’t wait for the parking lot, accosted the ref on the field in the game.

Why are Hawks so jealous of Crabs?

Jealous? Bc the Crabs beat them once?

From what I saw at the gauntlet this past weekend the Hawks shouldnt be jealous.

Rumors, you weren't there, give it rest.

Not a rumor if I was 15 feet away watching with my own eyes. Right with little 15 right behind

Interesting MDLax at crabs last night

Hawks looked great to end the year and the kids are on a beach somewhere. High school about it start, glad to enjoy the last few weeks of summer and good luck to those still playing.

Yeah give it a rest. Coach only wanted a hug.

Had a front row seat.

How many kids at Crabs tryouts last night?

You mean adults?

Not all of them on the beach. A few were at Crabs tryouts.

Looks like the hawks players aren’t so happy on their current team. Several hawks kids giving it a try at the crabs team.

If you get beat them, join them.

There is lacrosse life beyond Crabs and Hawks. Go enjoy it.

Movement around the Baltimore is in full swing. Looks like FCA is going to get some 91, Crabs and Looneys. Some are seconds but several key players have already verbally committed.

Crabs and FCA will have the biggest gains this summer!

FCA is a second tier team at the 2026 level. Anyone coming there from any clubs are 2nd tier players who will play well against lesser competition but struggle against elite teams/players.

DCE, Hawks and Crabs for HS ball in this area.

You know a lot considering one team hasn’t started tryouts.

You know nothing if you think players wait until tryouts to make moves.

This is someone who has no clue; my guess is a Looney’s or FCA parent trying to find a home. There will be small changes if any on Crabs/ Hawks. Both teams are talented and it comes down to where will your son have the best opportunity to excel.

FCA is a hard pass simply based on their “philosophy” and coaching.

"Crabs is a hard pass simply based on the person running the club, the coaching and parents."

There. I fixed it for you.

Good reasons why Crabs and Hawks are the best and rest are second . Crabs only gain top players at this time. Reason why they are always stacked at HS age

holdbacks and out state players will do that for any team.

Welcome to the MIAA Years

At this age, tryouts are almost meaningless. Granted there are some exceptions and some diamonds in the rough but for the most part teams already invited players. The tryouts are really generating money for the club. Crabs, 91 and FCA are benefitting this year. There a handle full of new crabs coming from Hawks. The other two programs are fighting for the rest.

Agreed - hawks and crabs already have the kids they wanted selected prior to tryouts. Anyone cut from these teams are most likely spot players that got very little playing time but will excel against lesser competition. These kids will mostly likely be on the benches at CH, BL, LB and McD for the next 4 years unfortunately.

I honestly miss the early 2022 version of this forum, where every dad from Oxon Hill to Severna Park to Perry Hall was popping up and talking about the "serious interest" "pursuing him" and "definite lax scholarships" that various MIAA coaches were going to give their sons. How did that all work out by the way.

Just wait until the reality of spring tryouts hit on La Salle Rd:

“Split in half and do line drills.”
“Now all the kids on this side of the field, go home!”

Those left over can have fun on the bench watching the same handful of Varsity kids underperform…or playing JV as JRs.

Worked out pretty well. Thanks for asking.
