Anonymous Unregistered A	Originally Posted by Anonymous Solid test? Hawks look to be the only decent 29 hoco team? Fusions has dominated every Maryland team. Philly stomps on MD Objectively true. Futures is without question both A. a regional "all star" team (several players from NJ, MD, DE and even NC) and B. better than any team in MD. However, outside of Futures, the only other competitive philly team is Dukes who is essentially on-par with most MD "elite" teams. Comparatively, of the 8 teams that Maryland fields in the HOCO elite division, at least 5 are as good or better than Dukes. Without a doubt, if those 6 teams (Hawks, ML, NL, Crabs, FCA, TC) put together an all star team, it would not be a surprise to see them beat Futures. Credit to philly lax for fielding one of the top 29 teams in the country but claiming that equates to philly dominating maryland is a leap too far.

Dc express will have far shot, depends who they get this winter. Crabs connived the league to allow their “special” students, but haven’t played well yet. Hawks still lack a respectable offense but seemed to add size on defense, plus they are on their 3rd coach in 3 years. 91 and Predators found some talent somewhere and will probably find some more before spring. Do you remember who was getting stomped on before you started your all star Philly team, tri state team or national team where the older boys stand out (see WS results). If you were all from Philly it be one thing, but your not! So you are putting DCE in??? Who ya taken out? True NOVA also chirping to get in, maybe HOCO adds a 4A division this year??

The prospect days definitely opened some doors, especially for our oldest. Its not too early to start thinking that way. We sent our son in 6th and 7th grade and got him on the radar for financial aid early. Obviously, it helps if you play well at the prospect day.

DCE is NOT joining elite. They beat a bunch of AA and AAA teams and lost to Preds "B" team. If they were in elite, it would be like the old days of 91 where games would be 18-0. Same with True NOVA. Quality club but not ready for the big league.

Hahaha... what quality, top players are team-less this time of year and just waiting for that phone call from DCE, 91 or Preds?!?! - 91 hasn't added any difference makers. Some of their existing kids are developing/growing and that is making them a better team but they didn't add anyone material. - Preds "found" some talent on their 2028 team and brought a couple of reclass kids down. But they also lost a couple of kids to expect more of the same. My guess is this is the last year Preds stays together before the few "good" kids on the roster throw in the towel and try to jump on with TC, Crabs, FCA or Hawks. - DCE is a AAA level team. I actually think Preds would beat them at this stage.

Philly is the king of lacrosse. Look at the New Balance All American games recently. Philly has been winning them consistently, especially when they have all the top players playing. Haverford and Malvern are consistently some of the top teams in the nation, often only losing to boarding schools / national teams that pull players from all over the nation like Lawrenceville or other national powers.

Anonymous Unregistered A	DCE almost always ends up farming a good team in HS. Just look at the 28s. A bunch of ML kids left to start it and randoms from other places joined. Took a while though, but they would stomp the life blood out of ML and NL now. DCE 27s are week, and I'm not sure why, but 26s and 25s were very good. I suspect many ML and NL kids leave for a 2nd shot at DCE and then they cobble together something solid. A lot of talented 29s. I'd argue, on the whole, more solid than the 28 class. They will want to shine if they aren't getting a lot of playing time elsewhere. Just the way it works. -Dad of Four Kids
