Pretty fair assessment.

Having seen 5 of these teams play in the fall (never know about fall ball), I’d say NL added some good pieces on offense. But their goalie is their key— Defense is Ok, he makes them look great.

Crabs added some studs, particularly the kid who came from FCA. Big and strong attackman. They’re not as good as everyone barking about though.

Hawks are just a well oiled machine on Offense. Very, very difficult to defend with their cutters and play from X

Madlax— ton of kids, many of them True Chx and VLC. Their key is big 47, whether he stays or not. Without him, they’re a bottom half team in HoCo. And they’ll need to fly in the kids they used this fall. Which they may do.

DCE is definitely a work in progress. Their D will keep them in virtually every game they play. Their O is suspect, but great coaches who should figure it out. Previous poster mentioned that every loss this fall was only by 1 or 2 goals, and they lead late in all of those losses.

Didn’t see 91 or Clip Show. Have always felt like 91 is close, they seem to have some talent, but then they proceed to get blown out 10-1. Perhaps it’s coaching I dunno.

I am very curious where Madlax will be pulling in kids for HoCo and/or if they are still trying to pull kids from other teams to come over that didn't play much in the fall.

DCE has some great attack, but now we are seeing size being an issue. Maybe they have some bigger kids on their "B" team?

Hawks do have a great offense, but how is their defense?

In what way are we seeing DCE's size be a problem? They swept their last tournament and gave up a total of 7 goals over 3 games -- what are you talking about?

Also, spoiler alert but the Hawks defense is really good, too, and they really do have one of the best goalies at this age, as shown by limiting opponents' points and not just unsubstantiated web forum proclamations.

Best goalies at this Grade not age lol

Connor Shellenberger is still playing! Can you collect Social Security while in College?

Re ML 2028. Apparently the DMV team (B team) folded because there weren't enough kids and several of the kids moved to the CAP team. fwiw

Re ML DMV. It started this summer. They were in some championship game/tourney....AA or A and CM invited the DMV goalie to the Vail/CAP tournament, didn't tell the parents and the DMV families showed up to play with no goalie. Thus they had to forfeit. As you can imagine, the parents were pissed. What happened after the that, I don't know. I know a bunch of DMV kids tried out for NL and DCE Orange, but don't know how many made it.

That’s smooth work right there from Cabell. Invite the DMV goalie to Vail and don’t tell the DMV team that he’s leaving mid-tournament, and you’ll therefore be forfeiting. But then again, he has no problem forfeiting, or changing the name of his teams to avoid losses piling up on his ranking. What a clown show he is.

He is a leader in club lacrosse in DMV area . Sorry you couldnt make ML or compete against them.

He certainly is the leader in the DMV. Leads in virtually every category of what I wouldn’t want my kid to be around. Dude is a sociopath. So funny how he can’t even field a DMV team in the high school age groups, everyone has left by then. So he has to go out and pull in unsuspecting players from TX, KY, FL, etc to fill the squad. Which is why NL and DC Express own Cabell from 9th grade and beyond. And that’s a fact.

In 10th grade, VLC owns Cabell too, using many of his former players.

VLC imploded at 2028, so no matter what else you say about Cabell he at least still has a team.

Are there any lacrosse players in the 8th grade in Northern?

Cavs caput. VLC caput. Hammers never even got moving.

What gives?

A couple MIAA prospect days were last week.
Any more upcoming?

Lot of great players, they all play for DCE, NL and ML. Big, big drop off from those 3 clubs to the VA teams that have folded, or attempt to move up. Not sure why these kids and their parents want to drive to MD, but they keep doing it.

John Carroll this Sunday.

Cavs merged with VLC and VLC managed the 2028 teams out of existence. Kids move to MD b/c there are no good Va options. Here’s hoping that True NOVA can fill the void

I think the problem with True NOVA is that at this age group parents think it is just another Hammers/ Team Virginia program.

Hopefully they can grab a few great players and make themselves relevant.

Yes, maybe those great VA players can elevate them all the way to the elite division of HOCO, so True can fly in out of towners to replace them.

What schools had a prospect day last week?
