Yup, hope and cope

Where's everyone competing this weekend?

Looks like the teams up North are competing in Albany at Northeast Showcase. Top Gun should run the table in the top bracket against Monster, Mass Elite and Primetime.

Lax 4 the Cure looks even more competitive with NXT, Team 91, YJ, Philly Blast and Eaglestix joining the mix.

I wish there were more opportunities to see these teams play Hero's, M&D, Coppermine and Integrity. The 29 division has so much talent across the board.

This is completely wrong. Just look on US Club Lax at their results. HG 26 lost to the top teams, but also to teams like CLC, Steps, Top Guns, Capital who they never lost to in middle school. Plus ties against other lower teams as well. They were not nearly as dominant as they had been in MS.

My kid plays for HG 26s, and he is actually mostly correct. CLC never fell out of top 15 and is a good team.
We lost to them in 6th grade too, they surprised us. The Steps game was a fluke. If i recall correctly it was a half game playoff last summer and anything can happen in those games. It would be tough to lose to cap blue in ms since team didn’t exist, ans TG dumped half of their team last year and moved from 9 to 2. Teams did improve a little and some games got tighter, but it was mostly from teams like TG and primetime replacing roster not old roster catching

Of course it was a fluke..

Steps also beat Aces for the first time was that a fluke too?

They were not has dominate. Who cares.

Teams improved and games got tighter. The end.

That’s why the chatter stops on this board as the girls get older and you stop caring so much about the club rankings and start thinking about recruiting.

Lmao, gets proven wrong straight from the horse’s mouth but can’t let it go. And you obviously care a lot, lol.

“tHEy NevER loSt to CApiTal in miDDlE SchOoL!”

Ummm….

Right, he’s a club lacrosse expert, we just need to shut up and take notes.

Not the PP but after reading this exchange, I'm personally happy to know you'll stubbornly hold onto the belief of your DD team's total domination until you're actually proven wrong in real time. Love seeing delusional lax dads spiral on the sidelines.

I am a 2026 Aces parent. Games got tighter.

And it looks like there a few people commenting not just one.

LMFAO you CARE the most. clown. Why does your @ChillLaxin hurt so much that HG and M&D may have tighter games?? Everyone have a good weekend.

I will be at Chesapeake this weekend:)

So salty, hahaha, love it! And again, my kid doesn’t play for either of those teams, my 2029 is just having fun. But I have heard this “oh wait until HS” nonsense forever and it is beyond pathetic. The 2029 teams at the top will remain at top, games bw the top 15 are already close as these are 13 and 14 year olds who will be in high school NEXT YEAR, and 95% of top kids are already well known. You keep trying, but it is all anger and emotion, zero facts. The rankings haven’t changed much, and the teams that the top teams have lost to haven’t really changed at all. But you’re right, they definitely didn’t lose to Capital in middle school ;-) Such a club lacrosse expert, lmao.

Hey 👋 not my comment- please remember multiple people comment on the board. Unless you are the one commenting to your comments. I’m a 26 parent and I know it’s Pride in MS.

Hey who you voting for??

The "oh wait until HS" crowd is also the same ones who corner the club director every chance to talk about how they need to showcase their kid. Most clubs have one or two, unfortunately, and they make it miserable for everyone else.

If you can read there were no comments that said “oh just wait to HS” and a good club a top club wouldn’t let parents bring that negativity anywhere near the team or club. Sorry you have a kid that plays for a club that allows that

only need one or two to make the whole team sour...

and obvious who it is

is this that obvious? cause i have no diea

Maybe OP has insight to the LI parents who talk about holdbacks... otherwise the rest of us are with you. Not to mention way to many people post as if they are representing someone else. Assuming who this is will just make... as they say... an***outofyouandme

Some good lacrosse at chesapeake today. Top teams didn’t disappoint, and scores were kind of what I expected. Was weird that ES was in b bracket, and BLC in c bracket, and I don’t think mdu has won a game this fall, a little shocked.

Top teams were awesome today. Parents were all great from those teams too. It’s JUST A GAME and today felt like most people at Copperplex realized that. Well done!

BLC belonged in the D bracket from what I saw

I am just over here waiting for the Hero's parents excuses...

Relax. They are still a great team. It’s fall. I wouldn’t sleep on them.

Excuses for what? Tied #4, lost to #2 by 1, and beat #5. For any other team that would be a banner weekend.

Not even associated with Heros or any of those teams and I agree. Anyone who thinks these teams won’t go back and forth for the next 4 years is nuts.

I watched the M&D vs Heros game and the M&D vs. Coppermine game with my DD. There were fans from various clubs watching. It’s a special class with 3 special teams right here in Maryland. They aren’t even in Hs and they have people lining up to watch them play. That’s pretty cool.

Parents of those 3 teams need to take a step back and realize how awesome that is for their daughters.

I was there too, and you are spot on. Heros will be fine. They are still stacked and are getting used to new coaches, I bet by NGLL they will be humming again. M&D was sloppy in Heros game, but they are going to have a massive year. They added some amazing players to an already amazing roster. Coppermine impressed against Heros, but seemed to run out of juice against M&D. I think having some key girls out finally bit them in game 3. NXT is a very, very good team. Well coached, athletic, and that draw girl is something else. Eagle Stix is pretty much the same as last year, top 10 but probably not top 5.

Outside of that, all of the other teams were ok, but there is a sizable gap between them and the teams above.
