BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums MID-ATLANTIC LACROSSE MARYLAND FORUM Boys 2029 Grads - Mid Atlantic Region

When no one else is playing it’s easy to find targets. Other then madlax and crabs who else was playing this weekend? From what I saw on TM, crabs struggled the first day but handled their games on the second. Easy to find faults when observing from the couch. Any other teams able to compete at nlf and succeed? Next level, hawks, preds, 91, fca, tc?

So now that everyone is done for the year, here's where things ended up (for Spring and Summer):

Legends/Crabs: 18-13-1, Wins over top 30 teams (3) -- Resolute Black (#14), Madlax (#16), 91 Colorado (#28).

FCA: 7-16-1, Wins over top 30 teams (0).

Predators: 11-10, Wins over top 30 teams (0).

91 MD: 8-13, Wins over top 30 teams (1) Laxachusetts Black (#26).

Posters and haters can take these things and spin them however they want, but these are taken from the reported scores and records.

Tryouts should be wrapped up for everyone by the end of the week.

The big questions this week:

1. Do any of the new teams get it together -- Shuckers, True Hoco, True Harco, Red Hots?
2. How many holdbacks show up at Crabs?
3. Outside of replacing coaches, what does FCA do to fix things from this past season?
4. Will Predators keep and get new players good enough to stay in Elite?
5. Who does 91 MD replace its top middie with -- is it time for fly-ins?
6. Will DC Express get enough to move in to Elite?

Let the madness begin!

Every team will lose. Some loses are tough. The previous poster, is pretty much saying that Preds can’t win most games in the hoco. Yes they beat legends. Teams lose. No excuses here. However this poster (who seems to be a Preds parent) has really down played the efforts of their team. Preds is a decent mid level team with some big wins and bad loses. All teams have gone through this.

OK... Let's apply the same scores/records and ask which teams have lost to Predators.

Crabs/Legends- YES

FCA- No

Predators- No (somehow)

91 MD- No

Buy hey... you can always brag about that great win against SJ Shamrocks

Hey Preds Dad -- remember your Pre-season Hoco prediction for this past Spring? If not, I found it:

Hawks.
Madlax
NL
Predators
True
Fca
Legends
91

Here's the actual results:

True Chesapeake (7-0)
Hawks (5-2)
Madlax (5-2)
Next Level (4-3)
Legends (4-3)
91 (2-5)
FCA (1-6)
Predators (0-7)

Someone is upset about the talk of Balt Preds ? Next year will see Preds becoming one of better teams.

Heard FCA has added 3 new offensive players including the best player from Dukes Elite.

These rankings are so flawed:
- On face of it....Crabs 2029 had a great weekend. Beat number 5 team in country twice (Red Hots) and Eclipse "b" team over past two days. Deeper dive shows the Red Hots were a shell of themselves probably due to most of their players being with their primary clubs this weekend. Red Hots lost 12-2 today to ADVNC and both FCA & Preds handled Eclipse easily whereas Crabs struggled to squeak by after trailing the entire game. Crabs benefited from a very easy draw at their own tourney -- and will climb in rankings. But there doesn't appear to be any real difference between FCA, Team 91MD, Preds & Crabs. On any given day, any of those will beat any other - although there is a very wide range in the rankings between them.
- True NOVA is number 77. But they have only played two teams ranked in top 100 (numbers 61 & 86) - and lost to both. They have feasted on teams ranked 150 - 390. Would love to see them play someone more competitive - does anyone know if they have any more tourneys?

Dukes Goalie?

That's funny. While Crabs and FCA are adding talent, what is Preds doing? Telling their teams they will magically get better.

Could be, heard the Dukes Goalie was booted from the team at A.L.L.

Yep, really upset at being left off of Preds team. Calm down. Why arent you happy with your current club ? Could it be, you realize that the talk of Baltimore is getting better each year and you are being left behind. Tryouts every year my friend .

Guessing most of those teams pull from the 28s this season because of the vicinity to private schools in the area.

Yup, A me guy!!!

That kids a gem. Parents clearly have filled his head with so much nonsense that he thinks he’s the next Logan McNaney.

What color and frequency helmets are you seeing at tryouts this week? that really tells the story.

Not the goalie. Poster said it was an offensive player.

But, do tell about the goalie. Isn't he the Red Hots goalie too?

Dukes goalie is moving to the already stacked Fusion Futures team, so is one of their reclassing 28s.
Not sure that kid will learn any semblance of maturity playing on that squad, unfortunately

Well. Will the new additions and coaching make the difference for FCA. Seems like they had lots of talent but no direction last year.

Hearing Fusion Futures is heading to HOCO next year.

Why would they mess with the team chemistry bringing in that toxicity. No way that kid beats out their current goalie. Heard they're starting at AA team at regular Fusion for Futures hopefuls. Wonder if he was offered a spot there.


Makes sense now that the age restrictions will be relaxed and they can bring their 28s with them.
