Cabell is just sitting back and waiting and laughing. A revamped NL, or repackaged Express, might have hurt him even a year ago. But now he has NL in a death match with Express. He literally need not raise a finger, or send any nasty grams. Neither NL nor Express will be able to take it to the...next level. They'll both die of or be relegated to glorified rec teams.

NL is not in a death match with Express. Its Madlax who's starting to circle the drain at the high school level starting with 2020 and following with 2021. Express has at best B level players for their 2020/2019/2018 programs unless they get support from LIE. This is expected but should change with the incoming 2021 class who are great and should propel the program. BLC youth players will now have a viable option to stay with BLC/Express and not leave for Madlax. Think how many Madlax high school players started out in BLC, but moved to Madlax for highschool play.
Madlax 2020 has lost players to other high school coached programs. Yeah, you'll hear Cabell laughing, but it will be that crazy madman laugh of a guy who can't believe his 2020 program can't compete at the elite level he so often markets on the website.

Did all of the 2024 capital players return?

Maddux is doing very well....to even be able to have B teams in the weak nova market is a feat by itself. To be able to do it while charging what he does is pretty amazing really....especially after the email. He owns club lax in nova at 6th grade and under and probably will for some time. There just isn't another club to go to. He needs to find a way to keep these kids when they get to the HS level.

Yes, and picked up some new talent. The 2024 team is like the 2018 and 2019 teams. They keep getting better. The top kids want to play on the top teams.

The 2024 has 4-5 very good players, which is key. It is also one of two Madlax teams who have dads coaching their own sons. Daddy Ball is alive and well at Madlax.

I guess you think labelling the email "evil" somehow makes light of the situation. If it had been a 1 time thing, you might have a point. But he has done the same thing to dozens of people.

I think you said the dad coaching the the 2022 team was just doing it temporarily. But there he is again, listed as the head coach. We all know why he is the head coach of that team.

And you also said the owner is not the real coach of the 2024 team. Instead you said with a straight face that the college kid was the head coach. I guess that's why the owner stands in every team photo of the 2024 team that he "doesn't coach".

You used to laugh at clubs who had dads coaching their sons. Why the silence about Madlax, which has TWO Daddy Ball teams.

I was going to make this point also but I forgot. The parents of Madlax players at a high ratio see a clear improvement in play when Cabell guest coaches the team their son plays on. And if you ever meet Cabell you would know he does not give his sons any brakes or give any kid a free pass. Go back to the email and it all started when he gave the Baby star a hard time and the kid/dad could not take it.

Oh, we're back to "the kid and family deserved it" defense?

No one deserves to be treated badly but to imply that the Dad/Kid have clean hands from this very old story is also crazy. And for me to talk to you about it just keeps this old story in the (News) and helps yours goal of hurting the club.

I agree Daddy ball is not good. The 2022 coach was going to be temporary but the parents must of liked the job he did. And for the owner standing in the picture he stands in all the teams pictures when he is there and they are taking a picture scroll through the website if you would like. And please let me know how much it kills you that the email is fading away and people are not talking about it anymore. And heck what do you want Madlax to do with a new club starting every week and they all need coaches the pickings for paid no dad coaches is getting very slim.

The daddy ball thing is overblown. Look at 2022.

Hawks - daddy coach
API - daddy coach
89+2 - daddy coach
FCA - daddy coach
Rough Riders - daddy coach
Bethesday - daddy coach

No real club employs dads as coaches.

Is Madlax holding supplemental tryouts for all of the BW refugees?

There are good coaches and bad coaches. Sometimes good coaches start a family. Sometimes bad coaches start a family. No real lacrosse person would correlate familial status with coaching ability.

Dear Madlax Dad,

You are 100% crazy. We get that you want to deflect attention away from the owner. But get a grip.

Have you ever thought why no HS kids are leaving Crabs, BW, VLC for Madlax? But instead, a ton of Madlax kids leave in HS for those clubs?

Think about it.

Madlax has two dads who coach their owns sons on a Madlax team.

Madlax = daddy ball.

Trig is trying to kill kids? Ok. Whatever.

Can someone answer why Madlax has two dads coaching their own sons? Not somehting I would expect for 1.5x the cost of the other clubs.

Lol. He is coaching the team because he and hisbuddies didn't like the playing time distribution and got the coach fired.

Before u said daddy ball was terrible. And Madlax wouldn't never doit. Then u said this guy was just a temporary fix.

What us your excuse now?
