Dukes Mamba carved up the competition this weekend boys. On track to be one of the top teams in country for 2031 class. New kids from Mesa, JE and HHH were the missing pieces.

Glad you stated it so clearly!!! Yes, Dukes needs to bring in kids from other programs to show improvement. No such thing as coaching up the kids, just bring in the ringers from other programs. If you are looking to win middle school tourneys, show up to Dukes. If you are looking to improve your player through training and coaching, head on over to these other progrums.

The Duke’s club sold their soul to BPG - all Dad coaches who recruit kids over, can’t coach for the life of them.
But, at least they don’t have to share the money BPG pays them. Anyone ever ask why the same Duke’s coaches all coach different age groups? Amateur hour over there, enjoy it while you can

This form has turned into two 31 programs bashing each other haha! Great for the sport!

Agreed. There kids won't even play in 3 years.

Every year is the #1 team in the area (Dukes) and the haters (other clubs). Dukes has the top team in every year but the 29s (Dukes #2). Must really frustrate you non Dukes dads. Keep grinding

Weird that the Turddogs also brought in new kids from Mesa, JE, and even Texas. Also head coached by a Dad. Mamba HC not a dad. Hmmm.

From what I can see, it’s the 29 Dukes that should be concerned…noticed a number of their helmets at HHH tournament. Boys must’ve realized the grass wasn’t greener leaving NXT

Duke's does not have all Dads coaching the teams, not sure where you saw that. They have a very solid coaching staff.

Birddog dad here. This is out of control. Too much nonsense on both sides. It’s two great local competitive clubs with boys that are friendly on and off the field. Dukes has won the last 3 matchups and we’re looking forward to more healthy competition in the spring. Stop making more of it than it is.

List the Duke’s teams by age and coach…that should solve the issue

Enough already with 6th graders. 27’s are on the clock as far as recruiting goes. Who has looked good so far this fall?

Team Ten 2027 is the best local 2027 team. Morsell, Luchovich and French on that team are some of the top recruits in the entire class. All three were getting legitimate varsity minutes on the top teams in the Inter Ac as freshmen.
