I agree that DC Dogs are a good team and it is great to see a DC team with kids from MD and a few VA kids win this tournament. Club Blue would have also won this tournament as the Hawks were not there. I still think this does not show well for Madlax that kids who have played for Capital for many years are now replaced by a whole other team. Meanwhile the old Capital '23 team played in a B tournament this weekend and lost to every 3d team. This does not say much for the clubs ability to develop players.
