Haverford and EA were in MD for the NHSLS tourney. So that could have affected rosters.


Mesa 27 has always done well at the NLF tourneys. From what I’ve heard, a lot of them left Mesa and migrated to HHH. So HHH is doing a lot better than hey have historically done (I.e. they aren’t getting completely demolished, just beat soundly) and mesa is mostly outmatched now.

Why would a group of players leave a solid top 40 team to go to team that has historically been ranked in the 200’s? My guess is that they were sick of being 2nd to Team Ten and ultimately couldn’t make the team Ten roster. So Nice try. The distance between Team Ten and the rest of then 2027 pack just got a lot greater.

Team TEN, Brotherly Love and HHH all got a lot better from the exodus from Mesa 27. Brotherly Love picked up some great players from Team TEN. Mesa 27 has had plenty of kids who could have made Team TEN and vice versa. Why did they leave Mesa? Maybe, sometimes the customer does not mind "daddyball". Team TEN 27 and Mesa 27, have historically been well served by dad coaches. I believe for high school it is probably best that it ends, but they did a great job with their teams.
