Wow! May be some major changes in the 28 club landscape....stay tuned! Tryouts are around the corner and rumor mill is churning!

Need the Paparazzis out at summer practices to get glimpses of who may be moving!

One of the more established clubs may not even be able to field a 28 team next year!

Can’t think of one established club that’s even remotely close to that scenario, but whatever.

Crush?

I have a 29 and a 28, I know both 29 kids who tried out. Well, both girls play for McDonough and Taylor was very much involved. Both kids are holdbacks so it's really not that impressive. Both kids parents believe they are the best players on their team (just got to the 29 forum and read the recent comments about the Heros and M&D game). Both kids aren't even the best players on their teams but play the same game, charge through all right handed with your head down and shoot as hard as you can through a defender. And, I was there with my 28, both kids are attackers and didn't even sniff a shot in the games yet made the team. So their game isn't even good against kids on age. 100% Taylor Cummings pulling strings. Politics. Welcome to lacrosse in Maryland folks.

FCA or NEMS?

Probably HoCo

Wow. There is a lot of anger in this post in a forum on 7th grade girls. I have no idea why the two girls were selected or who they are. It is a big stretch to think TC was pulling strings to ensure 2 6th graders made the team just because they go to McDonogh. I seriously doubt TC even knew they were trying out. She is listed as one of the main event coaches. But so is BR from MVP and CD from RPCS. Two other coaches are directors from Heros and SW. But TC is the only one who is pulling the strings?

MC Elite is supposedly being purchased by the St. James (the same company who owns Stars) and BLC may not be able to field a 28 team, but neither of those teams are relevant at the 28 age group, and not worth the ink on the page of gossip.

Semantics….did you mean established in years as a program, or established in legitimacy of competition ( top 10) ?

Coppermine not going to Heros or M&D. Heros doesn’t have great recruiting resources. M&D is a weaker team. Colleges look at players and will form a relationship with clubs with best players. Coppermine will be just fine. Lots if buzz about Heros and M&D kids signing up to tryout for Coppermine. We will see what’s true.

What does M&D being "weaker" prevent? I think you will see movement across all the A teams

Is there any good talent from any of the lower-tier A teams (NEMS, FCA, NL, CCL) that could actually contribute in a meaningful way to a good team, not just ride the bench?

Will M&D still be top 16 by then?

They’re gonna be just fine smart guy.

Will M&D still be top 16 by then?

It won’t. Right during prime vacation time too.

And good luck getting M&D to participate if it isn’t affiliated with 3Step.

Nice cool night down here in North Carolina. Coach went over the flopping plan for tomorrow at the team dinner. Needed to adjust a little for the expected rain.

Too bad for Pride; a 6 team pool would have made more sense. That would have allowed Pride to play Crush and M&D face the number 1 seed. Or even a 5 v 4 play in..


But, for predictions on the actual playoffs, it would be easier with a line, but here goes:

--Coppermine over MD United again, but closer than the rain game earlier this month. Coppermine by 3.

--Crush over Heroes. They haven't been tested since early season, but their one goal loss to Coppermine and win over MDU make me believe they can pull this off. Crush by 1.

--Coppermine over Crush in the finals. They are just too strong this Spring (or since last Spring really) and will play their best game of the year. Coppermine by 4.

--Bonus Pick. Coppermine will beat Eagle Stix in NC for the National Championship. Eagle Stix hasn't played anybody serious since last November. Coppermine will be tuned up. Coppermine by 2.

Geez, can't anyone over at Coppermine keep a secret?!?
