This post did not age well….where’s goalie dad? They gave up 23 goals against 3 average teams

Who are the winners, losers after the fall season? Who will be the 8th HoCo Elite team? Imagine some teams will look for a few more additions.

Great tilt between NL and DCE today. DCE got the OT win 3-2, it was a great back and forth, dominated by defenses and goalie play.
This looks like a budding (healthy) rivalry, with a very amicable sideline.

Hawks seem solidly ahead of the field.
FCA prob still holding down the second slot, but Crabs are closing in.
DCE and NL are going to be battling with the Crabs for the 3rd and 4th playoff spots.
Madlax and Team 91 will battle for 6th, and whoever comes in to Elite (Team MD, True something) will bring up the rear.

Crabs prob improved the most. BLC’s evolution into DC Express could see the biggest leap forward, they beat NL and had Crabs down 6-3 late in the 4th Q a few weeks ago before self destructing.
NL picked up some really good pieces— an entirely new attack line. Kid from Massachussets, a 27 Madlax reclass, and a 28 Madlax transfer.
Madlax probably bringing the Supreme Nationals to HoCo. So likely a revolving door.

Lame tourney w B- teams. Keep flaunting on social media. Be glad you weren’t elite enough to get invite to NAL. Beating NL in OT is rec compared to NAL. Dukes beat WCS and ML beat Dukes at aloha. NL and DCE playing rec ball at some rec tourney in MD and the highlight vids already all over.

Speaking of supreme national, is this a real thing? I don’t know a single person whose kid is signed up for this and I know a lot of parents on BLC DCE NL and even ML. My sense from the repeated invitations I’ve gotten for both my kids is that they are having trouble getting kids to sign up. Most of the better ML kids are already doing Red Hots or MOJO I can’t believe they’re going to double up on national teams.

If you aren't on the Preds elite train you are getting left behind with all the lublic school serfs. Hawks fly where? ML Crazyville Horror, FCA blood of christ.... Choo-choo!

Old ML team stomped Atl Thunder last summer NAL in Philly. What happened?

Hey it’s Madlax Tourette’s Goalie Dad again. Congrats on your tie yesterday!! 23 GA B-teams

What were the scores? I saw that the lost 2 and tied 1, but only saw the score for the tie and 1 loss.

I am sure NL and DCE would have been at NAL if someone did not have his tantrum with the other NAL board members.

Love the ML highlights vs the B teams. The reality of it is CM for now has some pull. He can only change schedules and kick out teams he is afraid to play against so many times. ML was blown out vs good teams as we have see. The dukes team at aloha wasn’t the dukes NAL team. So that’s a stretch. These arguments could have been settled if CM let NL play NAL and didn’t kick out DCE . Ready for HOCO. ML has to play NL and DCE… only question is who plays for ML. Rostered kids or new fly ins???

For HOCO, it will be Rostered kids AND new fly ins.

Award for the hammerhead post of the year on BOTC.

"Be glad you weren't elite enough to get invited to NAL"..... This ML parent really should talk to their club owner/coach/not coach/current sideline heckler as to why DCE 28s weren't at NAL. Every other age group from DCE played NAL. Also, DCE has played in that tournament since its inception. CM threw a hissy fit and the other NAL partners agreed to his insanity for Fall NAL-only. So eventually, you will play us....but probably not in HOCO because it's a near certainty ML won't be in the elite division because they will lose every game.

Also, as for the ML upgrades....last time ML played Thunder with its old players we beat them by 10 or 11 goals and we never tied Sweetlax FL. The fact any ML parent would come on here and talk [Censored] after winning "Aloha" and going 0-2-1 at NAL is downright insane. Know your audience.

Madlax wouldn’t even play DCE Orange team. ML headed for AAA in HoCo. Parents won’t be happy.

They got chased off the field by Thunder and WCS. 9-5 and 7-1. Tied Sweetlax FL.

I think ML will drop to AAA in HoCo to keep ducking NL and DCE.

There is NO chance ML will drop down in HoCo. None. CM will do what he’s always done for HoCo and any other game that needs it - just bring kids in from other places to play in the games - even their current roster includes 6 kids from outside this area who come in for games only. I’m not sure if he didn’t realize that the teams they would play in NAL would be good, OR more likely was scared to mess around with non rostered players after pitching a fit to get DCE 28 out which the NAL people definitely didn’t appreciate. That might have been a final straw with the NAL people and they may have gone the way of US Club Lacrosse and publicly cut ties.

That wouldn't work because that would probably match them up with DCE Orange and NL Red

It would if he tried to complain enough to have DCE Orange and NL Red moved down. j/k

After fall:

Hawks
FCA
Crabs
DCE
NL
ML
91 MD
Clippers

Dukes Elite Rocky Aloha was the same Dukes Elite Rocky at NAL. Rosters verified, ages not.

The CM-Madlax club banning continues. He kept DCE 28 out of NAL and keeps NL out of NLF. Was just told he banned the Red Hots from the ML tournament in Orlando in January. I guess it makes sense given the fact he walked away from finishing a game with them at Naptown and didn't even notify the other team who waited around for hours during the lightening delay.

When will other clubs start boycotting this nonsense?

I can’t force myself to get worked up on behalf of the Red Hots and their 90 man roster in quite the same way that I can about NL and DCE - ie local clubs that our kids and their friends play for.

Have to agree… no way I’ll defend the Red Hots. But to ban teams for being good? Cabell is a petulant child. Bring your Burrito Supremes and beat them, Cab.

Team Money, Clippers and Team MD should have a tournament for the 8th spot. If any of these teams can pick up some studs before spring might make the difference. Team Money is famous for bringing in guest players from Freedom and others.

Out of towner here who is DCE

DC Express

This post makes no sense. Did someone ask where all the good players went from Madlax?

Oh no you didn't!

Glad there are still some people on here for a laugh now and again.
Where’s Bored MD Dad?

False lax news! CM has let the Red Hots in Club Nationals. They are sending all of there circuit grade years.

True Chesapeke will win it. Funny that everyone gives the Crabs a pass they bringing players in for the last 10 years.

what is this guy even talking about?

Nice!

I’ll see if my kid can carpool with one of there 8th grade 16 year olds for the drive down!

Plenty to choose from given they roster every kid who's picked up a lacrosse stick. That said, if your kid is good enough, they cover the travel/tournament expenses as well. Not to mention who*ing out Connor Kelly by having him DM kids directly.

Hopefully they'll be more reliable than the 3d New England players, who often stay out too late at the bars the night before games.

Thats not true about 3d New England, I know from a reliable source they have a strict curfew of leaving bar at 12 midnight, no exceptions, am from what I am told, give the boys credit, they do as they are asked.

Hawks parent here. The new Madlax is not good. Period.
