BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums MID-ATLANTIC LACROSSE MARYLAND FORUM Girls 2027 Grads - Mid Atlantic Region

With yesterday in the books we now have to wait until next Saturday to see who the fourth and final playoff team will be. Will it be Hero’s (as I guess) or Coppermine? Either way it’s good to have a meaningful game the last week of the season. People have told me not to sleep on Coppermine because they have a really good team with a solid defense. Scores support that too. Hero’s is deep with some excellent attack players. Exciting. Waiting on the weekly write up and spreads before I place my bet this week. LOL

Coppermine has had a very soft schedule right up until their last two games.

Who won this weekend?
Any scores?

Pride Red 14-0 over Integrity? What happened there?
BLC 5-4 over MD United? I expected double digits from BLC here.

I think that BLC got caught with being off for too long due to the schedule, They have not played in 3 weeks, and its hard keeping up the intensity when you are not playing.

Hats off to MU, holding it that close to BLC and M&D in 1 weekend says they might be trouble in the summer...

I am also puzzled by Pride's sudden abilities, I wont say what I am thinking, but .................................................

Integrity 27 vs Pride Red 27
Integrity 27 -3
Pride Red 13-0
I think there were some circumstances outside the control of both teams here, kudos to Pride, Integrity can look forward to summer tournaments

BLC 27 vs MD United 27
BLC 27 -7
BLC 5-4
Close game here, great defense by both teams, both squads played tough. BLC had a scare.

Coppermine Black 27 vs FCA Blue 27
Coppermine Black 27 -13
Coppermine Black 12-4
We will find out this weekend if Coppermine are legit or not.

NEMS 27 vs Hero's Green 27
Hero's Green 27 -7
Hero's Green 27 8-3
NEMS hung in there but Hero's too much, as I assumed.

M&D Black 27 vs MD United 27
M&D Black 27 -8
M&D Black 11-7
Another good showing by MDU here, M&D gearing up for playoffs.


Skywalkers Blue 27 vs Pride Red 27
Pride Red 27 -9
Pride Red 12-4
Went exactly as I though. Pride got its first two wins this weekend with M&D on the horizon.


MY observations, lots of the middle of the pack teams are getting better. The gap may be shrinking some, but its still the Big Three (Hero's M&D and BLC).

NGLL Week 7

Coppermine 27 vs Hero's Green 27
Hero's -5
Its the game to show if Coppermine is legit or not.

M&D Black 27 vs Hero's White 27
M&D -8
M&D loves beating Hero's regardless of Green or White

NEMS 27 vs Skywalkers Blue 27
NEMS -11
Skywalkers has a way to go, NEMS will take it to them.

BLC Blue 27 vs Coppermine 27
BLC -4
BLC should take it to them but can BLC be consistent?

FCA 27 vs Skywalkers Blue 27
FCA -5
Nobody wants to finish in last place, both teams will play to avoid that

FCA 27 vs Hero's Green 27
Hero's -12
This one could get ugly

Pride Red 27 vs M&D Black 27
M&D -8
Pride will try to keep it close. M&D can score in bunches.

NEMS 27 vs MD United 27
NEMS -3
MDU will need to win the draw to keep this game close

How did the games go today?

One thing I've noticed this season is how big/tall some of these girls are? It's possible some have hit their growth spurts in 6th grade but I can't help thinking some of these girls look like they are almost ready for high school?? Have parents re-classified their "6th grade" girls already???

I noticed that too, some very tall kids out there, even the teams that didn’t perform great still have size.

After NGLL regulation season, its clear Pride was a dissapointment.

NEMS obviously is in that four spot.
Coppermine could argue for fifth.
MD United and LBC are right there behind, and I wouldn't be shocked if they knocked off Coppermine head to head.

One could argue MDU is ahead of Coppermine, given they beat NEMS, but both lost by only 1 to BLC.
LBC actually beat MDU by 1, but got crushed by Coppermine.

This is why you play the game to determine the winner. As said... any given day. Now clearly Hero’s, M&D and BLC are ahead to the pack but I would sleep on LBC. Coppermine, NEMS or MD United.

Coppermine 27 vs Hero's Green 27
Hero's -5
Hero's 10-3.
Pretty much as expected. Tough matchups for Coppermine in last weekend.

M&D Black 27 vs Hero's White 27
M&D -8
M&D 11-5.
A moral victory for White as I thought this could have been much worse.

NEMS 27 vs Skywalkers Blue 27
NEMS -11
NEMS 12-4
Skywalkers took some lumps in NGLL A league.

BLC Blue 27 vs Coppermine 27
BLC -4
BLC 6-5.
Another tight game for BLC, doesn't seem like what you want for championship run.

FCA 27 vs Skywalkers Blue 27
FCA -5
FCA 8-3.
Hope you all placed your bets.

FCA 27 vs Hero's Green 27
Hero's -12
Hero's 15-2
Green ran a track meet in this one, next stop for them is M&D.

Pride Red 27 vs M&D Black 27
M&D -8
M&D 8-4
Good for Pride for keeping this one respectable. Gives them something to build on.

NEMS 27 vs MD United 27
NEMS -3
MD United 5-3
Not the way NEMS wants to head into the playoffs, but this game doesn't matter.

FYI- The surprising scores from last week don't tell the whole story. Not to say they girls didn't give their full effort while playing, but some of the teams that had already clinched the playoffs rested starters, tried some new combos out there, and played last week more as a scrimmage.

Want a cookie? Who cares. Glad you felt the need to justify why some girls didn’t do as well as others. I bet some didn’t care because they already got scholarship offers from UNC, UMD, BC and others too? Let the girls play the game and be happy with their performance whether they win or not. They are 11 and 12 years old. Stop living through them and let them enjoy the time playing.

Take relax a little! If you don’t like the material in this site don’t visit.

The only score that was surprising would have been BLC just beating Coppermine. I doubt BLC used it as a scrimmage because a loss or tie would have had them playing our Hero’s. Coppermine actually plays a great defensive game that matches up well against BLC’s style of play. That game honestly didn’t surprise me. What else was surprising? The rest weren’t close. Best of luck to everyone this weekend.

NGLL Playoffs

Hero's Green 27 vs M&D Black 27
Hero's -2
M&D beat them earlier in the season but I thought things went just right for them to get that win. Its going to be close, but I think Hero's pulls it out.

BLC Blue 27 vs NEMS 27
BLC -3
I think BLC is the best all around team, but NEMS has the top player in the game. I think if its a low score, BLC wins this.

Championship
Hero's Green vs BLC Blue 27
Hero's Green -4
I think Hero's takes the NGLL, we will see, four good teams, no doubt.

This is a forum that has regular prognostications. And justifies the reasons behind the prognostications -- including who has the best players. If those best players don't play significant time or coaches are trying new combinations, it's relevant.

Sorry to burst your bubble that your daughter's team played an opponent this week that had nothignt o paly for and was resting most of their starters.

I just laugh at the idea of a team “resting their starters” a week in advance of a playoff game.

Come on...these 12 year old's need a couple weeks to rest up for the playoff run! It's been a grueling 8 game season!

Its less about resting starters, more about giving more PT to girls who didn't get as much during the previous 6-7 games.

The games today were amazing. The 4 teams are really the top 4. All 4 of them played for their lives, with the game getting away from Hero’s and Nems in the last 3 minutes of both games.

Congrats to the winners. The finals should be just as exciting.

Championship Final
M&D Black 12
BLC Blue 2

An impressive performance by M&D 27 Black

Why is no one talking about the 12-2 victory by M&D against BLC?

What's there to talk about? Doesn't sound like an interesting game to watch

It was not, basically BLC did not turn up, if you watched the game they looked tired and uninterested. There must be issues in that camp, as the coaches could not get them going....But if you look at their last few games they have not really showed up...
Good news is that we won and no one can blame the Refs

it’s not about watching it. How did M&D beat BLC by 10? BLC didn’t score in the 2nd half of the game

M&D dominated the draw and possessions. BLC barely had the ball.

M&D made a statement this weekend, they are the top 2027 team. Hopefully the MD teams do well in June against the NY/NJ/PA squads.

1) M&D Black
2) Hero's Green
3) BLC
4) NEMS

Not sure who goes the next few spots, but Summer tournaments will sort them out between Coppermine, LBC, MD United. Obviously the out of state games will be big in terms of measuring the 2027 local group.

We are finally healthy. Told ya last mos. And no one believed me. Doubt and detest us because you ain't us.

Get over yourself.

Out of curiosity how many 2008/2007 birth years are on that team?

Hahahahaha. You could not pay my daughter to play on that team. We don’t detest you because you won. Word is the team culture stinks on that team. But stay on that high horse. It makes the fall all the further. You are not invincible.

What bad team culture? and how would you even know?

What?? With a roster that size who isn’t on the team?

Your daughter isn’t talented enough to play there or she’d be there. Now zip it and go back to your C level team.

Try again. Made the team and opted to go elsewhere. And she doesn’t regret it one bit. Sometimes, there is more to the club experience than winning.

And, we don’t regret it either with some of the parents you have.

^2027 parent^ : GET A GRIP! It’s a long road. When your turn comes to eat some humble pie ( and it will ) , it will be very bitter. PS- stop living through your child. That’s embarrassing

I was curious when I saw the score what happened here.....wow.... congrats to M&D....surprising blowout

Wrong. Not a parent on this team. Find your arrogance really funny though. Made it and left for better, awesome! Don’t go away mad , just go away !
