This is fun. Give me more details about me lets see if you are correct?

Evergreen should be vastly improved. Call them 2022 3D if you want. New coach and half of 3D will make a huge difference.

Nobody cares, Evergreen dad. The club and all its teams suck. Just because they are coached by a great player and recent grad doesn't make up for the weak talent.

I guess it depends on the definition of "vastly improved". If you are the Cleveland Browns and go from 0-16 to 3-13, that's "vastly improved". Evergreen is not even the best club in Leesburg [Cavs]. Evergreen is definitely trending up but still has a long way to go. If you want to say 2022 will be Evergreen's best MS team, fine but that is not saying much if what I am hearing about 2023 and 2024 is correct.

Understand that HoCo is considering going to a Super Elite bracket that will have only the very top top 2022 teams. Hawks, DCExpress, Dukes, RR, T91 and Evergreen are sure bets.

API not in the mix?

OK understand some but not other. I have never heard of Evergreen? RR over Crabs or FCA? Did not know RR was good

You don't know the 22's very well then.

Evergreen is the DC Express of VA - from unknown club to national contenders

evergreen will be good but not better than madlax or a lot of other clubs

Evergreen will be the favorite in this bracket

RR easily top 5 team if not top 3

Evergreen has to actually play someone good before you can boost that they will be at the top of an already stacked Elite group of teams. Fall Ball is a great way to prove all the smack talk.

Evergreen and DC Express has to prove themselves before beating their chests.

This guy is one of the more persistent and humorous trolls on here. He doesn't even take himself seriously, so don't sweat it. Good bet the HoCo competition committee won't even let Evergreen in the elite division. D.C. Express is Bethesda, so yes they will be good, as will Hawks, RR, 91, Crabs, and FCA. We'll see about API and Koopers and/or Dukes.

I would not even draw conclusions in the fall. Rather, let's give it a year and assess the results. Lots of turnover it seems on most teams. Whether the newbies meld with the holdovers from the prior years team, will be a test of coaching and the willingness of kids to be coachable. I'm excited for everyone, and hope that everyone is competitive. I don't like 6-0 teams nor 0-6 teams. I like it when you go to a 2022 game and see these kids really emerging into "real" lacrosse players with skills, IQ and drive to convince observers that they will be the next generation of kids to watch in the upcoming high school years.

Evergreen 2022 will not even beat the other 2022 team in Leesburg. Cavs 2022 would win by at least 3 goals. Until you can be Best In Leesburg, probably better to remain silent.

Please start a Virginia page bc these posts are terrible. Leesburg lacrosse is as interesting to a Marylander as Guatemalan Ice Hockey is to a Canadian

All these new teams popping up Evergreen,Cavs Leesburg etc. the B team division in HOCo looks solid API will have their hands full come spring time.

Rr 2022 coaches by Bayhawks coach Brian Reese and ESPN announcer Mark Dixon. Team is solid. Possibly the last team with only local kids to beat Hawks.

On March 12, 2017, API beat 3D MidAtlantic by 10 goals at MD Soccerplex (13-3). 3D did not win a game that day. So, half this 3D team (not the top half) combines with 2nd/3rd string Cavs players at Evergreen and you now have a powerhouse????? Good luck in not finishing last in the B division.

Hawks grabbed best players from API this year. No chance of making any noise.

Hawks have had the best kids from 2015 npyll champion cannons for 2 years and now they have the best kids from the 2015 hoco Champs Diamondbacks.

Hawks know how to recruit.

Hammel is showing up as the 2025 coach so it looks like it is all Buggs team now.

Thanks, Fogo Dad!

Or maybe their just a relatively isolated team that does not have to compete for the talent pool.

Other than API, Cannons, Sidewinders, Peninsula, Storm, MD Wild, Rockfish, Snappers, Prime, ......

Tenacious Turtles putting together all star team to compete in Dicks TOC. Anyone else going?

There is only one Tenacious Turtles team, and they are now in college.

My kid is on the api 2022 team, and I can guarantee you that Hammel is 100% running the team this year just like he was last year.

Who cares about all this API and Maryland stuff? Evergreen 2022 is the new sheriff in town. Evergreen 2022 -Madlax Capital 2022 scrimmage on 10/1 at noon at Evergreen. Come watch the changing of the guard.

Hi, Madlax dad!

Have you guys heard of the new club Frumunda Lax? They are definitely better than Evergreen.

they started back up w youngins

Can you just film it for us so we dont have to drive to bum f ck to watch the first scrimmage of the year. Thanks
post a link right here so we can get in on the hype.

Well said !

I was getting ready to say exactly the same thing, and then I scrolled down to see you beat me to it!

OMG. Saw this on 2023 Crabs as well.
Big reason why many kids left.

Cant make it. Thats a college prospect and college camp day so our teams are taking their kids to play there. But best of luck.

Agreed.

RM is better suited to coaching the HS teams.
He threatened to f*cking rip a jersey off a 6th-Grader last year. Classy.
