My daughter just wants to finish with her friends. What coach is canceling practices all together. What coaches don’t show up at practice. Can’t imagine you’re talking about either head coach. Are both programs folding? Why wouldn’t your daughter be able to finish at either school. Why would you want to keep your kid at a school where the possibility of having a team next year is unknown, especially if they are even considering playing in college! Neither school has a jv team. Answering a question with a question. Come on now. Aren’t you a grown-up? None of that answers any of the questions I asked. What coaches are canceling practices? What coaches are not showing up at practices? Are both programs folding? If they’re not folding why wouldn’t your daughter be able to finish at either school. Those are the questions in case you didn’t understand the first time. Making statements that coaches are canceling practices and not showing up to practices is not ok if there’s no truth behind it. Ask GFS players. You will get all answers. Isn't this a similar pattern with these coaches?

Recruiting is done out of club lacrosse. There are great players in going to great colleges from private and public high schools in MD.

Anonymous Unregistered A	GFS AD is a former D1 coach and their current coach is a former D1 coach (i know she didn't last anywhere, but she was there). I highly doubt they would invest in those 2 people if lacrosse in the A wasn't a priority. Maybe 5x has been given some slack to bring in her own players and have poor seasons for a few years until she does. I just don't think they are dropping to B or not fielding a team anytime soon. GCS on the other hand seems to be deemphasizing athletics, and a move to B probably makes sense.

Jesus- C2's been hanging her hat on this for 25 years. The reality is that she's been fired from (in no particular order) UMBC, SPSG and Arizona State (with a fun little lawsuit to boot.) She's never kept an assistant for more than a season (other than her husband) and ask anyone at her "club team" how organized or well run it is. But if you want to run into that burning building, by all means go ahead.

No JV to pull from. And they aren’t the only school throwing money around or have boarding. The schools that do, are much better and offer an opportunity to win now and not take lumps for years. And is 5X really there for the long haul? Her track record doesn’t indicate she is. And if she is missing practices, her commitment isn’t there. Last edited by Team BOTC; . Reason: Duplicate quotes

The previous AD was let go by the school because she only cared about the team she coached. Truth is GFS is a fit for many top lax players.

Is it talent, coaching, leadership? They should pull up the talented freshman who they relegated to JV based solely on grade.

They could find a great new coach in a heartbeat. But the school just doesn't care. SPSG and McD appreciates their indifference.

Those must be some really talented freshman since ndp scored 5 goals total against RPCS and I heard they only had 1 goal until the last few minutes against SPSG and the last 3 were scored in [Censored] time against non starters.

Little late and unless she has a miracle they will be one of the bottom 2 and missing playoffs.

When you hire a former D1 coach who is from the area and knows the girls on the team because they are her daughters age, why would the AD feel the need to get her up to speed or volunteer as an assistant. That’s not the role of an AD.

Anonymous Unregistered A	Because she was also a former coach and the ADs should do what they can to help all her programs. Whether passing on helpful info or jumping in to help the build. Everyone there knows they are on shaky ground after the 24s leave. Providing playing opportunities on teams brings in future recruits. What kid will enroll there not knowing if they will have a team or be competitive ?

With the talent they have, I expected them to build on last year and be a top 6 team again. Possibly even knoeck off one of the top teams. They are scoring plenty of goals. They are just giving up way too many.

Certainly not with the talent they have. The attack/midfield has the twins who are going to UVA, another senior going to Denver, a junior going to Florida, and the middie going to Navy. They have enough other girls on D and in goal to be a middle of the pack team, at worst. It’s a shame for the program to fall of the map so quickly.

Not sure why I'm even entertaining this as I'm sure everyone who posts here knows exactly where to get the information. Gerstell, now in the B league, lost to GFS. This was Gerstell's first loss of the year. Goes to show you more teams should probably drop to B. Gerstell is going to run over all the B teams this year. Dropping a couple of the bottom A teams to B would be nice for a bit more competition, but egos are too big...
