FLG is a lower end A team in Maryland. Think Coppermine or NEMS.
FLG was a top 10 team last year, what are you talking about?
Coppermine is pretty far above NEMS now that they are adjusting with the loss of the M&D kids.
Hopefully NEMS can bounce back, watered down club teams in MD is not good for anyone.
Nems is dead, they lost their top players and remaining “stars” will also leave this summer
Dead? Sounds like wishful thinking.
Or you’re mistaking Middle school and hs ball. Things change drastically in hs. NEMS always improves with the “freshman shuffle” because they are arguably the top option in Harford. That NEMS 24 team just signed girls to UMD, JMU, GT, PSU and I think others.
The NEMS middle school teams (27,28,29) combined for a 2-13-1 record this Fall! The two wins were the 28 team beating rec+ teams. I don't foresee any Harford County top players returning to NEMS for the high school years. They are already imbedded in top clubs around the area. Where is the cavalry going to come from? The previous Director of this club really tarnished the NEMS brand by only focusing on her daughter's 2024 team! Perhaps they can focus on the 30 and below teams with new leadership and direction to get back to relevancy.
Perhaps. Not a great fall record. But there’s not much competition in that market. Anecdotally speaking, Coppermine and Skywalkers youth teams seem to have reputations as a “backup” team- a place where kids who don’t have options, can try to play. That’s not bringing in any elite kids either. Hopefully Harford kids can get some better options.
