Dukes Nationals is not a "Philly" Club.

They are good - especially the 2022 team but why shouldn't they be? They are an all start team.

The top local Philly Dukes team is the Young Guns and the 2022 is actually pretty damn good.

Taking your rankings from earlier and kicking Dukes Nationals out:

1) HHH (honestly I have no idea haven't seen them play but they had some nice NLF wins last year)
2) Black Storm - spring only team but 99% of them are playing South Shore so we will see how they do this summer
3) Freedom - still damn good team but did lose handily to Storm in Mid Atlantic
4) Dukes Young Guns - won pretty much everything they played last year but need to step up into harder tournaments
5) Sons or Roughriders or Mesa?
6) Then the second tier starts like NXT, Team 11, etc

While we might disagree we shall see on the field as all of those above except HHH is playing in Mid Atlantic this year.

Overall through the Dukes have too many franchised youth programs most of which stink. The Young Guns in general or okay, the 2022 team is pretty damn good, and the HS is decent still. Most of the youth expansion has hurt their brand.
