Dukes Nationals have killed the best teams, and I think they will continue to do so. Those kids play together once a month, and from what I understand, It's next to impossible to have all of their top players together for a single game or tourney. Those kids have skill, heart, work ethic and lax IQ. More importantly, they look like they have a ton of fun and exude good sportsmanship to our players when they played them. I've seen them play, as well as other top teams this summer and last summer. I assume they will keep getting better too. You gotta give them credit even though it's hard to admit.
DN have not killed the best teams. They had one good tournament this summer beat Hawks at nap town. Lost to Express in Boston with the same team that played in Annapolis. Also played up in tournament NY playing up 2021 went 1-3 Lot of new kids and parents trying hype DN like is the greatest team ever. Minicamps are good tournament teams ok and yes my son has played on DN for the last 2 years. It's extra lacrosse for kids that want more than just their Maryland club.
If you have been on the team for 2 years then you know that the team that lost by a goal to Express in Boston was not even close to the team that hammered Hawks and Express in the last month. There has been a lot of turnover on DN in the last 6 months and many kids that were on the team 2 years ago are either gone or sitting the bench.
