Dunno. Which families has the Madlax guy attacked this week?

If a kid is holding out for a better school then he is not on the top of that schools list. And if you are implying that the early verbals are not picking their top schools this seems unlikely. The best players get picked first this is a fact. If a kid is a top player he will be calling the shots. There is nothing wrong with waiting for a certain school to notice you but to imply these kids are top players is not true. If you are a top player and you want to got to ND or UVA then you could or would Verbal today. If you do not have this option yet you are not the top of the top. [/quote] No what I'm saying is that not everyone's top school commits freshman and UVA and ND are examples of that.

Trig- Fingers crossed that meds have kicked in and there won't be kids sent to the hospital this week. Too bad about SJC job, but you got a solid 2 months in anyway. Any news on the job front? Post that mysterious resume for all to see

Your obsession with him is strange. Guess it doesn't bother you that the Madlax guy got fired for bad behavior too.

What year was that. Not sure but I would guess 15 years ago now. He let kids party he did not almost kill them. But I guess they are the same thing. Oh he got in trouble for trying to make his high school players play Madlax that's way worse then death for sure

Wow. Madlax advertised that their tournament this weekend would be both days.

Now their Saturday event has been reduced to only 8 games involving 7 teams, 4 of which are Madlax teams.

Two of the Madlax teams are only playing 1 game each. He is actually making those families drive to Poolesville to play one game.

LOL.

Please tell me again what we all did when we played in the NPYLL or now it the HOCO league all spring? I am sure they are not happy about it but with 12 tournaments every weekend and every team having hand shake deals all over the place its getting harder and harder to have large tournaments.

Oh this is rich. Secret NL verbals. NL kids as good or better than the already committed......you live in a parallel universe. ND funny. Reality is a great place...visit once or twice.

Can't wait to see this NL team with secret verbals play FCA on Sunday. They should dominate. Wonder if they will do it secretly?

I feel sorry for those out of town teams who flew in just to play a couple games against Madlax's B teams.

No trip to Poolesville here.... so you are saying none of the top players in the class of 2020 want to play for ND or UVA, I seriously doubt that. The number one 2019 just de-committed from JHU to UVA. It's a fact there are schools that don't commit freshman. I guess your one of those people that would put lacrosse above academics or a good fit for your son. Good for you.

This is not accurate. Fogos got picked up first, a few goalies, those kids who are "big"'for "2020" so schools know their minimum end size and several coaches kids. Some of the best but not all or THE best by a long shot. There are kids not interested in the schools who are doing the early recruiting. UVA, ND, many Ivys, as well as others do not participate in the early recruiting game. each family does what is best for them.

The next group of commits for ND and UVA are coming out of the already committed list, who then "de-commit". Not from this Next Level group.

Did Madlax 2020 lose players to Blackwolf this year?

They lost 3-4 to BW. My son said there are a couple more leaving soon for other clubs as well.

Did DC Express poach any Madlax players?

D.C. Express lost to Looney's 19-1. Someone please tell me why there were invited to NLF

Express is a member of NLF and will probably be at all their events.

Did anyone hear how Eclipse out of CT has done at NLF?

Lost to Looney's and Laxachussetts, and beat DC Express.

Dc express is terrible. Should notb have been allowed to attend

Was it 2021?

Team was the DC Express 2020. Don't know who would be on that team after Next Level, Blackwolf, Madlax and VLC take all the local DMV talent. Must be a team of players who couldn't make the other local teams. I hope for the success of the program the BLC 2021 team stays together which is now DC Express 2021. Gotta expect a first year program to take some lumps. They just need to play down in the lower tier tournaments as its evident they'll get embarrassed in the top tournys. The coaches should have known better.

Death? Hyperbole much? Not 15, more like 6 years ago when he was canned for threatening his own HS players.

Why not move the big 2024 face off middie up with kids his age? It would be such a better experience for him.

Threatening is pretty subjective. Do you think Trig has threatened players?

FACT: Trig sent 3 players to the hospital in 3 separate ambulances. Fired 2 months on the SJC job.

Nothing subjective there

I asked a Blackwolf 2020 dad about the coach and he told me it was some kind of misunderstanding which led to Trig "resigning" from SJCHS. There are some good kids/players/families in the program, feel sorry for them to go thru this just as they're starting high school.

There was nothing subjective about the threatening emails (notice a pattern here?) he sent to his HS players saying they better play Madlax or else. That's why the school canned him.

If Trig denied water to kids (regardless if ambulances were called), he also deserved to be canned.

No, he absolutely went the "Patton" route at that practice and refused to let the kids have a water break. So a few collapse and ambulances had to arrive. That was the end of his SJ coaching career. What an idiot.

How did they do last weekend at Towson?

The 2018 team, with only a skeleton crew, smashed Florida Crush, Edge Canada, and True Michigan. The Florida team? Shmehh. But, the other two are quality teams and they got stomped. Cole was coaching the team, though, not Trig.

The 2020 team has kids that were cut by Maryland Extreme?

How do you know he's not playing with kids his age?

How do you know he is not playing with kids his age? Why are you singling out a 5th grader? The 2024 team is stacked with lots of good players.

He's a great player, he just should be with kids that are also 12-13 and not 10 and 11. If Cabell cared about his development he would do the right thing.

It's a great team that goes to good without him, and there's nothing wrong with that. Not trying to single him out, as he likely has had nothing to do with these decisions.

Not a shock. People bash on the Crabs and they deserve it. BUt Madlax actually has more holdbacks than any other club.

What if I told you this kid has a late July birthday is only 11, playing with and against kids who are older than he is; would that change your opinion? Just because a child is physically bigger than other kids on the field does not mean he's playing down. Some kids are just big.

Have you seen his birth certificate?
