Parent of a middle schooler at Landon. No middle school kid there that I know of plays for any Capital team. The reputation among the Landon community is that the Madlax owner is poison, and the parent group think is that they want no part of it. By saying this, I am not saying that Landon is anything special, I am just saying that the school is hyper-lacrosse aware, and there is a strong anti-Landon bias that I don't see going away. The email is part of it, but only a part. That owner does jerky things over and over again. It is really ironic because it is clear that the Madlax owner really wants an association with Landon, tries to get the Landon fields for his program, but the middle school community just wants no part of him or the program. BTW most Landon middle schoolers have chosen Next Level, Bethesda and to a lesser extent Club Blue.
I must agree there was several Landon kids on Madlax in the past. I hate to say it but NL stepped right in after the email and jumped all over it and got those kids who would play for Madlax. I would love for the owner to find a real partner and give up control and apologize for all the dumb things he has done in the past. I think he is a great coach no matter what some say. He just should never be aloud to write a email ever again.
