Is your kid on True and losing playing time? If so, bring it up to your coach. Otherwise, no one cares.

Saw some of the scores/games today. Saw FCA lost to True. FCA seems like a talented team however can be inconsistent at times. Hawks lost enough said about that. They are very talented and will recoup after that loss. They are very disciplined. Good Luck to Madlax next week.See their first loss coming. Ltlc had a close one with Team 91. LTLC has to work on firing on all cylinders defense is solid, but more production needs to come from goal scoring/offense. GF/GA is off. I see them bounce in the right direction as the season continues. Team 91 has many issues. Might not be in the right division. Next Level will show who they really are next week against True Chesapeake. Not saying that they are not good, but will prove that the hawks win was not a fluke. Madlax continues their dominance. VLC seems to be struggling (missed seeing them). Just some thoughts from the weekend.

You were 3 for 4 this week….

True looked pretty strong over FCA. Will likely be the 4th seed at the end of the season

ML put on an absolute clinic on poor VLC. Clash of the Titans next week

Big upset with Nl over Hawks. Hawks had the lead and couldn’t put it away Very odd for the disciplined squad

Signed Hawks Dad

Clearly you care.

Help me out. In the same post yku claim Madlax will lose this week, and they continue their dominance. Which is it?
Madlax 11, Hawks 6. Not a dad from either.

Flying in kids for a game lol. DMV AKA “Holdback Nation” is worried about flying in kids but no concern that their 13 yr olds play 11 yr olds in every tournament.

No not a parent from either. Different post. I just have seen how hawks is very methodical and disciplined from week to week. Hawks v. Madlax will be a great game just think the hawks will come out strong after a loss. Maybe I'm wrong. I really have no interest in either. Just a discussion post. My final prediction will be Hawks 9 Madlax 8.

This becomes the game of the year in HoCo Lax League. It will be very interesting to see how Hawks rebound after the loss. Most of the players on these teams will be headed to prep school as high schoolers so does this becomes the preview of St Mary's vs Landon?

Landon? They are no longer a lacrosse school??

Landon in a spiral… due to coaching, but more so due to the woke lean of the admin. They somehow think parents send their boys there for $50/year to digest that [Censored]? They can get it for free in public schools.

They’ll get the kids who can’t get into Prep, St Albans, and Gonzaga, but they'll be splitting the others with St John’s.

Hawks haven’t been able to put up more than 2-4 goals on ML in the last few meetings. Now they will put up 9?
Don’t see that happening

100% hurt and 100% why parents have to reach for the ointment when they realize the "we develop elite players" sales pitch was just that.....as soon as some Sasquatch from Long Island shows up who can beat your kid who's "been on the team for years!"

With 91 going, what, 0-7 in AAA last year, and then losing players to Predators for the 2nd year in a row, you have to know that THEY KNOW they're not winning games or even trying to win games.

The point isn't even to win HoCo elite in FUTURE years.....the point of them playing elite is to recruit elite players (and consistently improve the roster year-to-year that will culminate in HS age dominance (which is where 91 MD is successful).

If your opinions differs please let me know

91 was in elite last year as well. Went 0-7. How does getting blown out every week create an environment where quality players want to join the team? It certainly doesn't do anything to develop players.

I know this may be insignificant, but I notice that the Madlax's loss to VLC in the Baltimore Bloom lacrosse tournament a month ago has not been reported to US Club Lax rankings. They are still showing a 13-0 record.

I would assume that it is not classified as a true tournament or it is a "highly competitive scrimmage" so it does not count, even though we all know.

Neither is their win over the Hawks that play day or whoever else they played in those scrimmages. Play days don’t count. Doesn’t look like the 3 2028 teams they beat in real, sanctioned tournament in the Fall are reflected either in the wins.

Have you seen other scores reported from that tourney for other teams?
Or the score of Madlax beating the Hawks?
It was a play day, who cares

I am a next level player and we beat the hawks 8-7.

Thanks next level player!!!!

It wasn't a play day. It was the Crab's Baltimore Bloom spring tournament. It's a high level event attracting AA level teams.

I know Baltimore Bloom featured ML, Hawks, LTLC, VLC and Jersey Express. The tourney schedule was on LeagueApps so its no longer available unlike TourneyMachine.

Great games this weekend in the Elite division. I think HOCO should always schedule two games at a time back to back as it was great to be in one spot and getting to watch everyone play.

HAWKS vs MADLAX......was a thriller. What a game!! Felt like a mini-MIAA feel with all of the people watching the game. Hawks had control the entire game, but MADLAX broke through tie it. Came down to the last minute when HAWKS scored man-up to take the victory 5-4. I have a feeling we just saw the making of a great championship game. Two very good teams!

LTLC vs VLC - LTLC took control early and VLC was outmatched. VLC has been really impacted by injuries this season. LTLC has goalie back healthy now and is playing better than the start of the season.

NEXT LEVEL vs. TRUE - Another great game....two good teams. NEXT LEVEL has everyone back from injury and finally healthy and that makes a big difference. NEXT LEVEL had control of the game, but TRUE kept fighting and never backed down. Two playoff teams!

FCA vs TEAM 91 MD - Was shocked to see the domination of FCA in this one as they must have been upset after last weeks loss to True. I think everyone assumed FCA would win, but not 16-0. This may be the actual knock out punch that finally knocks Millon and TEAM 91 MD down to AAA next year.

In the AAA division, heard that PREDATORS vs. TRUE BALTIMORE was a great game back and forth all game w/ TRUE getting the edge at the end 6-5.

What a great weekend of lacrosse! So much talent at the 2029 level!

Gonna say it. The hawks and Madlax rivalry is all that is right in this sport. Parents are respectful, kids love each other, and you never know what’s gonna happen. Hawks and madlax parents giving each other high fives. Parents from both teams fist pumping opposing players to say great job…just fool awesome love for each other. Don’t believe the hype yall. This is two teams who appreciate each other.

Yes, Landon has gone woke and it is killing the school overall, and the lacrosse program is a casualty too.

Your picks weren’t so good this week, try harder next time.

Had a rough week. Thanks for telling me something I already know

Exactly what woke policies are killing Landon and its lax program?

So I was a little off on the score of the Hawks/Ml game. However watching the came it seemed like Hawks came out to play. Like expected ML came back. Ended up being a very fun game to watch. Hawks came out on top this time. I am sure ML will win the next. These are the best kinds of battles.

If you want to see everything that is right about elite, youth lacrosse, watch a Madlax/Hawks game. Pure respect on and off the field, kids, parents and coaches. So refreshing. Two very special teams who deserve the level of accolades they get. Clean play, hard nosed battles that are literally worthy of ESPN. Yesterday’s game was no exception. Hawks jumped out and in control. Madlax comes back with a few minutes left to take the lead and the Hawks win in the end. You would have thought after the game all parents and kids from both teams were tailgating together. Madlax parents clapping and congratulating Hawks kids as they walked off field. Somebody please bottle this up. Amazing.

If you have to ask, you’re part of the problem.

I live in Baltimore and don't know jack about Landon, but ok. Can you show us on the doll where the evil liberal man touched you weirdo?

You have a doll that you poke? Weird stuff bro. Stay in Baltimore.

Pretty much. Heard the same. Landon is the backstop

New to the party. Can anyone say with any certainty if Crabs is fielding a 29 team this summer?

Easy there. No one wants to play with your dolls here .

I’d look for them to holdback a bunch of 28’s and field a team next year.

Hearing FCA holding back a lot of kids as well. Your kid is a starter until he isn't.
