Where are you seeing the schedule?

It's true that this has been the SW model for years. But it's not working anymore for "massive development". Several of the girls that played up on SW26 tried to leave for M&D and didn't make it. The one that did amek it took the M&D spot and left. This model worked well for a long time when there was always a line of good players coming in push the weaker ones down to the white team. WIth the club that shall go unnamed taking over the SW spot, this is no longer the case. The strong players don't come in middle school anymore, and the original strong girls leave.

Schedule is out. Coppermine avoided everyone but Heros. MDU got the toughest draw having to play Heros and M&D. Next Level got an incredible favorable schedule as well and could go 7-1 easily.

With a 6 team playoff the number 1 seed (bye and easiest path the championship) will most likely be determined when Heros plays M&D on a Friday night under the lights. From there seeds 2-5 could all be 7-1 and will be a fight to get to the championship on playoff weekend.

As I see it 1-5 should be (no particular order)
Heros
M&D
MDU
Coppermine
Next Level

Who’s everyone’s pick to sneak in for the 6th and final spot? Legends? Integrity? MC Elite?

Should be an interesting year!

Pride or BLC

Put Heros Green, Coppermine, M&D Black, MD United, Pride, BLC, NL, Renegades, and SW in one division and let them have a slugfest.

Let’s do Top 25

Heros - 5
M&D - 5
MDU - 5
Coppermine - 2

Clearly schedule makers don’t believe Coppermine can compete and make top 6 without a cupcake schedule. My guess is all those fields are more expensive for the NGLL to rent if the schedule is too tough.

Top 3 teams (listed in order above) have similar schedules as they should. So, don’t be fooled when Coppermine clown car rolls up excited about their record before playoffs.

Even if stretching to top 25, M&D only plays 4 top 25 teams.

#21 Renegades
#20 Integrity
#1 Heros
#6 MDU

Forgot #18 Stars, so 4 in top 20, 5 on top 25.

Does anyone know the results of the Shooting Stars Spring tournament from this weekend? Any teams come out looking strong?

Zero competition for M&D black. It was a low A, high B level tournament. They were the only top team in the event. I believe they won all their games by double digits. However, I can't find the scores on any of the tournament sites. So an M&D parent will need to confirm.

However the results, I'm sure their parents were well behaved.

What? That was out of left field

Not an M&D parent, but their parents don't make the list of worst parents. not even close.

Worst by a mile are Renegades, followed by Crush, Hoco, Stars and Aces.

Not really any surprises. I fully expected the bottom half of the league to get smoked, and that is what happened. The NGLL should have done a AA, A, and B set up, because half of the “A” teams are horrible this year.

Why so many double headers for teams then multiple open weekends?

Man, the SW and Renegades crowd have been silent recently. Weird….

Not random at all. Before the NGLL season started, the Renegades and SW parents were on here popping off about how they were going to pass teams like Coppermine and MDU. Looks like they will have to wait for next year ;-)

Sure, if they replace the entire team, I supposed that they might actually make it to .500 some time.

Seriously, when are they supposed to take over? Last year it was “just wait until the 4 girls playing up come back down!” We are seeing how that is going this season. Now it is wait until 11th grade??? And like I said before, where are you getting these players from to make this leap? You think that the top Coppermine girls are really leaving that team?

The Coyotes 2029 team beat St Pete Dragons and The Wolves to rise in the rankings. The lacrosse out of Kentucky in the SHTL league is much improved as coaches that played high school ball make their way west. This will just continue as the Kentucky athletes are as good as anywhere. Why is this relevant on the mid-Atlantic lacrosse board? Because the Coyotes just rose to #65 in the rankings and overtook Skywalkers 2029 one of the premier clubs in Baltimore within the cradle of lacrosse. Go Coyotes!
