Re: Bethesda Lacrosse Club / DC Express TLaxOne #426650 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A Of course he doesn't want DCE playing in NAL because he will lose. What's even more funny is that his arch rival, NL, has at LEAST 3 current ML boys playing on their MOJO team this weekend. There are many other MLers at different age groups playing for MOJOs as well. He tried his darndest to get the boys not to play and even created the Supremes to combat the exodus of players (even though he tooled on the national team model for years). He either has lost his juice with the parents, they don't care, are lying to him and/or are exploring other options. Like Reply Quote

Yeah just heard from a DCE parent that Cabell is trying to keep them out of a tournament. Gotta ask yourself, why would he try to do that to another local team? I know the guy is notorious for some underhanded stuff, but this is kinda weird considering we’re talking about 13 year olds. A some point the other lacrosse directors, and hopefully the parents on Madlax will just turn this guy’s lights out. Like Reply Quote

Re: Bethesda Lacrosse Club / DC Express TLaxOne #426858 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A DCE did fine for the first time playing together. We were missing a few key players, but it's not an excuse. We also have to be more disciplined regarding penalties. We were basically man down the entire first game and most of the 2nd. We should have won the first 3 games, but even if it happened going beyond that would have been tough. Takes some time to get the boys in sync. Like Reply Quote

But they’ve got some great defenders from Madlax, and some great athletes. I hope they are successful in getting the puzzle together, always good to have another solid DMV team to push us.

Also NL historically at least for the 28s did NOT do this so if they did for last weekend that is noteworthy. I think a ‘fly in’ is a guest player - who doesn’t come to weekly team practice - regardless of where they are from and how they travel. Like Reply Quote

Re: Bethesda Lacrosse Club / DC Express TLaxOne #427645 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A So according to DCE Mom (formerly Madlax Mom), a 'fly-in' is not someone who flies in, but a player who drives in from 20+ miles away?
