So why isn’t NL playing in ANY of the big tourneys this summer. Don’t the players families know this is important?
Not invited? Are the Mitchell’s too busy with older teams?
When Hawks and MadLax don’t win HoCo we learn that “the most competitive middle school lacrosse league in the world” means nothing and the summer tourney circuit is where true champions are made.
I mean based on the results so far this summer it looks like the all star teams are the best. WCS and True National Black beating NL and FCA today. Texas Nationals beating Venom twice last week. HoCo is a strong league but sure looks like the national teams are better. Look at the Crabs going 0-2-1 today at NAL. HoCo teams definitely not the standard anymore.
Or.. HOCO teams.. Hawks and Madlax undefeated and into the Semis at NAL.
Hawks lose to Venom by 6 and NL beaten by WCS and FCA beaten by True National Black today. So this not holding up so far. Maybe Madlax can take down Venom and save HOCO. crabs winless yesterday and NAL and BLC not competitive. MD lacrosse looking mediocre.
Rest of country is catching up with MD lacrosse. The somewhat athletic stick skilled MD players are losing on a constant basis against true athletic players from other areas of country, These other areas used to lack lacrosse IQ and stick skills, no more. Future is looking rough for MD , still will make great practice squads in college
This is such a dense statement. These teams from West like WCS pull from 20 states. Literally. Seattle to Texas and everywhere between. The teams from back East are compiled of kids from mostly one town. Maybe 2-3 adjoining towns. If DC pulled together one team of kids from Madlax, Next Level, and BLC, the west coast teams might win one out of 10. For the same reason, 90% of impact players at the college level are from NY and Md. yes, the west coast is placing kids on the big D1 programs, but they’re hugging pine.
Additional proof— the best west coast teams came east this spring to play a couple games. Mater Dei (supposedly the best CA team) played the last place team in the MIAA and lost. Played mid level team (Spaulding), and for absolutely run off the field 9-1. Spaulding is about the 5th best team— IN BALTIMORE. So keep the “West is better, it’s over for MD lacrosse” to the funny pages.
