Heard that they are coming up short. Little harder than they thought. BL has plenty of talent, coming in from OOS , you know you got to be above and beyond. Big hurdle for many.

What are teams in The League doing for fall?

Per MIAA rules not allowed to do anything at this time.

Per MIAA coaches, they could care less and get back in your lane.. On with Captains Practice, Club in name only, etc

Both of you are incorrect.

MIAA rules actually allow 3 hours for teams to practice together every week up until their season.

MIAA Handbook, Section 22- Out of Season Practices.

What fall leagues do high school teams play in? I know there is the league that plays at CCBC Essex with about 8 teams, Curley and teams from PA.

St Mary’s take another step back. More kids transferring to Spalding.

Gilman is accepting any and all transfers. Gilman is known to be very accepting and forgiving.

Gilman is a shell of itself now. Started going downhill with the whole Poggi thing and with the march to wokeness and less emphasis on sports, got worst than ever.

I know it's been a joke around here of late, but my partner at work is a pretty involved Gilman alum and he's legitimately concerned and angry because the school, as he said, is "headed down the path of Friends School," deemphasizing sports, handcuffing coaches with zero recruiting, and really limiting admissions slots.
Sad if it's true. detest to see an OG MSA team disappear from relevance, but not like it's really a surprise, the way things have been going over there.

Arent most of MIAA schools becoming woke and woke . Just a sign of times and not getting better for sports. Now if you want a DEI career, Gillman is your school along with most MIAA schools.

Same thing is happening in Founders League.......Taft as the example.

Education system is corrupt . The majority of country is taught with a certain slant, its obvious to anyone with any common sense. It is a fact and has been going that way for years. The privates are just doing what the rest of education system does along with prepping them for a woke college after HS graduation.

Do people on this website really think the hounds are going anywhere this year?? I'll stick with MM and his Eagles, thanks. And yes, MM owns McD and the entire state of Maryland.

I can think of at least 3 which I have ties to which I wouldn't consider woke. All Catholic, you can figure out which ones.

St. Mary's made a huge mistake in the way they handled the coaching change. To say it was bungled would be kind.
Anyone who knows AACO lacrosse knows St. Mary's should be dominant with all of the built in advantages.

In the 2028 class alone there are former St. Mary's 8th graders who will go and play early (by sophomore year) to Spalding, Calvert Hall, Boys Latin and St. Johns. I'm sure I'm forgetting some. They have that pipeline every year. There is no reason they shouldn't be a top 10 team annually, instead those kids are driving to Baltimore, DC and beautiful Glan Burnie.

Hounds are back ! Well at least to the loyal faithful who are delusional.

This year it will be more of same. McD, BL, CH , AS at the end being on top with Gilly, StP, LB maybe surprising us with being better than one of those at end.

And to follow up. Yes MM is a great Coach and is the guy pulling strings at McD ! Does anyone sane person think different ?

Gilman’s coach is 100 times a better coach than MM.
He told me so!
