BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums MID-ATLANTIC LACROSSE MARYLAND FORUM MD Girls 2028

Why would Crush and Coppermine players flock their to sit the bench--if the team is on the rise and scary!

Only team that was at both Impulse and MD Playday was Coppermine, so thank you for your assessment Coppermine parent. Let the pre-tryout propaganda begin!

Rankings are based on math, margin of victory, it’s not perfect but it’s pretty darn accurate. It’s better than random opinions.

Yep, and I’m pretty sure we know who he is! He was called out on the thread that got deleted.

Honestly it’s sad to see all the detest on this website. 99% of this would not be on here if you had to put your name to a post. Look there are some really good teams in the 2028 and it’s impressive what that Coppermine team has done the past few years. These girls are only 13. My daughter is friends with a few of the girls on that team and have always been friendly. I have also interacted with many of the parents on Coppermine and find them very nice and engaging and complementary, i am sorry to see all the targeting they get from a few disgruntled parents and i can only imagine how frustrating it can be for the parents. I wish all the success to all the 2028 girls and hope to continue to see all the girls on all teams to continue to make friendships. When it comes to the rankings it’s not a big deal. I was happy to see a team from our state go and win the ngll. Anyone that knows 2028 lacrosse knows that Coppermine is good and eaglestix is as well and when coppermine just beat eaglestix they should be ahead of eaglestix. I could only imagine what eaglestix would be if playing in mid Atlantic. I hope the few disgruntled parents could turn that detest to something more productive and respect the people they are targeting.

Amen! It is really getting old and pathetic on the few that are targeting coppermine. They really should look in the mirror and question their priorities

What are you guys talking about? Coppermine parents are on here trashing other teams and spreading gossip just as much as anyone else. As of recent, one parent has been spreading gossip that they overhead from 13 yo girls, that pretty much singles out a player they say is leaving their team for Coppermine. If they're going to dish it out, they can also take it.

Anyone who has watched all 4 teams listed would come away with a similar analysis. It’s not fool to see what the strengths and weaknesses of each of the teams are.

4. Skywalker's Blue - Watch out, finally got competent coach, this team is on the rise. probably the most scary team. Crush and Coppermine girls will flock here for recruiting years.[/quote]

Word on the street is that this statement is true in regards to one of these teams.

If you really think it a Coppermine parent you are one of the densest people in this planet haha

I would agree. They must not be very bright!

Nice try. No one is flocking to the sinking ship known as SW. I can't imagine why Coppermine girls would leave, but if top girls from any of these teams decide to switch teams, it will be to M&D, or a team not mentioned in this thread.

Crush maybe. Skywalkers program in decline. Owner has to sell soon. Not in any condition to continue helping the club. It will be more chaos when he goes unfortunately. Coppermine keeps getting coaches and will be fine with recruiting too. Crush just doesn’t have the club size to do all the best tourneys.

It 100% is

People are definitely gullible and wish it was a coppermine parent. But it's easy for anyone on here to pretend to be someone they wish to be. There are some mean people on here trying to [Censored] 13 year old girls lacrosse and makeup stuff about parents to deter others parents from exploring that option for their child. I wish you would think of what harm you will do when you type something on here. With all the mental health issues in our country, this only feeds to that. Be happy your child is willing and able to play this sport that many other children around the world don't have the opportunity to play. Be happy for others that have the same opportunity. Adversity is great for young minds, this world is challenging and you will win some and lose some and being able to know how to manage that and move on is one great aspect of sports! If us parents were positive on here and supported each other imagine how great it would be. I congratulate Coppermine for a great NGLL season and start to tournament season. I wish everyone on here a healthy successful tournament season!

Stop agreeing with your own posts. It’s sad.

So let me get this straight. Coppermine parents are not on this forum posting negative comments about other teams? They are uniquely innocent in all this? It’s everyone else in the mid Atlantic lacrosse community coming on here being negative and posing as them to try and make them look bad? I agree with you that someone can easily pose as a parent on another team, but I also don’t think there’s some big conspiracy going on here. Maybe condemn everyone for their negativity and ask everyone to tone it down.

Is it true Skywalkers tied Coppermine this past weekend?

Not according to Tourney... they weren't even there?

Skywalkers didn't play in the Impulse tournament.

They played at MD Playday on Sunday

Yes on Sunday at Maryland Day

Who were the participants and what were the scores from this "Maryland Playday". Is this a tournament, or just some scrimmaging?

Given the number of comments this post has generated, it appears to be worth discussing. I will add a few thoughts.

First, pretty clear that Coppermine has indeed separated from the pack. They did so last summer, really, and the fact that they haven't lost to anyone but Eagle Stix (who they just answered back) this year proves the point.

Second, I thought M&D lacked its usual swagger this Spring in NGLL. Still a very talented team. The one goal loss to Coppermine at Impulse, and the wins over Crush and MD United though, seem to suggest this post is backward looking. Maybe they are putting it together for a run this summer?

Third, MDU is inconsistent; I agree. Not sure it is fair to suggest that it corresponds to the effort of one outstanding player, but I have seen them fully clicking on some days, and just not in synch on others.

Fourth, this is a pretty new take on Skywalkers. Maybe a Skywalkers dad trying to build some hype for tryouts? "Most scary" sounds like a huge stretch... Their win over M&D was a breakthrough, but they also lost to Pride, and even Stars, during NGLL. Did something happen in the last 3 weeks that transformed their potential? Not aware. If so, they should easily win their group at Live Love Lax this weekend and beat some LI teams and then Pride for the first time in 3 tries this year. I guess we will see.

It's obvious your DD's team wasn't there. Is there a reason you care so much? No scores were kept for any of the games.

Yes, the Skywalkers tied with Coppermine this past weekend

Play Days are typically a time when coaches try new things, put players in new positions, and some kids don't show. It's not really the kind of thing you use for fodder to talk smack on a message board.

yes, but several girls were missing due to soccer. we asked them to move the playday to a different date for us but they said no

No one is talking smack. Not everything is an attack. It speaks to the suggestion made here several times that Skywalkers is improved.

So you wanted Maryland to move the entire play day because you were missing some girls?

There are only two girls on that team and they were both there?

Skywalkers 2028: The Last Jedis?

So Skywalkers tied Coppermine on a scrimmage play day (where scores were allegedly not kept), and now they are the "most scary"? Maybe a little early for that call.

And Coppermine is a lot more than two players; this line of nonsense is tired. Even as good as there top middies are, you can't go on a run like they have as a two-girl team. Better description is a complete team with several standouts. Don't forget the goalie and the defense.

I think they were kidding

As others have said, there were no scoreboards or flip boards for keeping score. The only people touting the score are people from either team. Seems like Skywalkers fans are thumping their chest lately.

Meh...just let them. Either they will be able to put their money or their mouth is and have a great summer, or they won't...but I don't blame them for being excited at the potential.

Coppermine struggled early on against the Jesters zone (don't remember exact zone), which you don't see too much of in Maryland. Once they figured it out and got hot on the draw control, they closed strong and won the game.

Will definitely help Coppermine this summer when they start seeing more zones from other NE teams.

i don't understand this board. Obviously no one is happy when Coppermine wins which I don't understand l. i find it refreshing that a club besides M&D and Heros has a strong team in this age group. Skywalkers 28's haven't performed well previously but they got a new coach and had a decent NGLL - beating M&D and losing to Coppermine by 2 and Stars by 1 and then a few weeks later tied coppermine and beat Stars. It seems like they're improving so I'm not sure why it's a bad thing. Good for them. i have no idea of crush or coppermine girls will go there this summer but it seems like SW will at least be in the mix now. There's enough girls playing that there is a need for lots of spots for these girls to play. SMH

Congratulations to the girls who made American Select. There's a lot of different teams represented, some more than one might have excepted, which is ultimately good. Might be some tough competition, but I'm sure you'll represent the region well!

No Coppermine players? And a 2029 on the 2028 team?
