No McDonogh Varsity ?? JV looks like the MIAA mainly

Are In the other session.

Where is St. Mary’s playing? No NHLS? Let
Me guess a fall pro start tournament. Why because HC runs Prostart and lining his wallet. St Mary’s is a dumpster fire. No leadership at the school.

#Bottom feeders.

Poor St Mary's. On the downward slope. They are joining the bottom of the MIAA for next few years.

No Georgetown Prep? They skipped summer too.

This year GP is not very good, Lost a couple of key players and team is just not that good. Lucky they make top 4.

So does the fellow working at WaWa

MM was a great former player. Has coached great players. Created a small fortune with lacrosse and his sons. Future Hall of Famer. However when it is all said and done the most memorable thing that will for ever be looked up on the internet will be his character displayed on the Mitchell Pehlke video acting like a child at the end of the game. It's an instant classic. At his level and stature in sports if you are not aware of how you act and how your actions are always on display, then you will be forever scrutinized and remembered for those instances that are recorded than for how you played. Do you think MM wants that out there? It's a representation of who he is directly because his life is lacrosse 24/7. The internet does not forgive.This is todays reality.

If Hall of Fame is USA Lacrosse, then I'm not sure MM makes the grade. This is the first requirement from the site.
Character Beyond Reproach
The following are areas of evaluation used to determine character beyond reproach:
▪ Practice and perpetuation of positive sportsmanship on and off the field
▪ Positive relations with peers, opponents, subordinates, and supervisors within the g

Millon is already in the HOF !

Exactly and well deserved, man is a legend that many would love to be like one day. He played the way he coaches. I am here ,Get out of my way , who cares what you think, I am the best !! Hoorahhh !

Isn’t there anything else this forum can talk about? It’s exhausting.

Talk then.

Its off season and not much happening. Silly things are discussed , Lighten up. Dont be a Mark !

Heard McDonogh lost it's big sports donor over disagreements with their woke policies. Supposedly this is impacting their recruiting and ability to board kids.

How many freshman does a coach typically have/want on their Varsity roster? If the freshman is not playing at all does it make sense to keep them on a Varsity squad?

2026 class is it....

Big Donor will lose out then. Woke at McD is there to stay. The admin and staff are all in.

I do find it amazing that 40-50% of parents dont agree with policies, yet the admin does almost 100% their outlook on things. But as the admin and teachers proclaim at McD, we are the most caring , tolerant and diverse people you will meet, well as long as you agree with us !

I believe it varies by school and year to year, but normally a handful.

Re: the playing time I don't think there is a one sized fits all answer. You could make an argument the player would develop more practicing with varsity, or a valid counter argument that the playing time they'd get on JV would matter more for their development. I think it's one of those things that's probably case by case and requires an open and honest conversation with both the player and the coach.

The huge MCD donor is now having conversations with other schools in the MIAA about endowing scholarships.

Big donors never lose, they just move on. We didn’t even consider McD or Severn for that reason. They can do what they want and I’m sure some parents love it, just not for us.

Agreed. Most of the impact players will be on the field freshman year, lots of examples. Some kids need time to grow into it, Pat Spencer for example.

Good Luck with that . MIAA is a woke admins dream . Besides maybe one or two which are semi woke, the rest are replicas of McD.

Correct, Depends on so many factors . Most famous example in MIAA of not playing Varsity until 11th grade was Pat Spencer.

Parent of 8th grader currently at an MIAA "A" division private. We are poking around other schools for high school to make sure we are making the right choice. In addition to talking to coaches, we've been attending the various schools "prospect days". We've been to Loyola Blakefield, Calvert Hall and Gilman thus far. I'm not sure how much recruiting is going on outside of those prospect days but the turnout at a couple were awful. I don't know how these other schools are going to compete. Most of the 8th grade top talent is either currently at or planning on attending Spalding, Boys Latin, St. Paul's and Calvert Hall. Cupboard looks pretty thin at Gilman, McDonogh, Loyola Blakefield and Severn.

All those schools been around forever. Schools will be fine.

The Dummy’s at St Mary’s missed the boat on Pat Spencer

Yes, a couple schools still have prospect days left.

Not sure when St Mary's is. It used to be around Thanksgiving.

John Carroll's is in early December.

The style and punctuation of these comments seem like they're straight from a Russian bot farm. Which isn't to say they're from a Russian bot farm. But to those posting this drivel, either upgrade the algorithm for your bots, or look inward and realize we DID land on the moon, 9/11 WASN'T an inside job, and your unhappiness ISN'T caused by trannies working with the Illuminati.

Yea but he is a HOF laxer that no one likes. Nothing like watching those awesome youtube documentaries where his team finishes 4th or worse each time and they talk about how they're the greatest club of all time.....AND THEN each year he gets in fights with first the coaches and then the kids. Great videos. Imagine what we dont see? No character whatsoever. Great player, terrible person and pathetic individual. CM or MM?

McDonogh did lose their mega donor who has given millions to the school. The school's woke politics are in fact the reason. I know he made a donation to Boys Latin last spring. McDonogh for the first time last June added about 30 students that are all paying full tuition to offset the monetary loss of their donor.

He certainly loves himself more than anyone else in the HOF!

Ah, the classic "upgrade your algorithm" comeback—straight out of the How to Sound Superior in 5 Steps or Less handbook. I appreciate the run-down on conspiracy theories, though; apparently, disagreement with the woke agenda means we're one step away from tinfoil hats and lizard people. And, by the way, your punctuation is a masterpiece—truly avant-garde. But please, go on schooling us poor, unenlightened souls who obviously lack the intellectual prowess to grasp the brilliance of your woke worldview and punctuation.

Does your kid go to McD? If so, pull him already. If not, why do you so passionately care? Did the trannies steer a storm into your duplex?

Calling BS on this. The algo is fine…..see the way I used the cool word for algorith. Thats what anyone that actually knows the space would call it so Im now cooler and smarter than you. Mr Upgrade the Algorith if we landed on the moon how come we have never been back? Check out the shadows my algo friend, moon landing didnt happen. We agree the CIA killed JFK thought right?

Wow, I’m so sorry you got triggered! I had no idea you were out here looking out for me—protecting me from punctuation pitfalls, storms steered by trannies, and helping me find proper schools. I’m truly moved by your dedication to my well-being. It’s something special to have someone as enlightened as you on standby, ready to share wisdom about moon landings, conspiracies, and, of course, my choice in education. Where would I be without your vigilant guidance? Probably over in Dundalk Left that period off just for you !

This conversation is boring. Trannies don't play lacrosse and I get enough clickbait propaganda in my social feeds.

Back to the purpose of this page.... ripping on actual school lacrosse programs or complaining about holdbacks! Chop Chop!!!!
