Madlax 28 parent here. I watched almost all of the last half of Hawks v Venom at NLF because they replayed the entire game after the lightening canceled the games ~halfway thru the evening before (that's what a Hawks parent told me). I'm not sure why they did that, if true. Madlax played 2-12 minute quarters vs Express North to finish the game which only cost us about 35 seconds on the clock at the same score and ball possession. Seems unfair to Hawks/Venom playing a full game at 7 am.....and TBH the Hawks seemed a little gassed in the finals vs us.
Venom is a slick team. Well coached and motivated, athletic kids. They didn't have the ball movement and time of possession the Hawks are known for, but they played tough and kept it close.
