Back of THE CAGE Forums MID-ATLANTIC LACROSSE MARYLAND MAIN FORUM Girls 2028 Grads - Mid Atlantic Region

Use this thread to discuss lacrosse for Girls from the class of 2028 in the Mid Atlantic Region.

Here's my Top-5 for 2028 Winter 2020

1) MD United
2) Hero's Green
3) M&D Black
4) Coppermine
5) Crush

Feels about right. top 3 in a tier by themselves. I lean to heros based on their performance against 27s

Id go

1) Heros Green
2) M&D Black
3) MD United
4) Coppermine
5) Pride

MD United did tie Hero’s in this last tournament but outside of that won Fall NGLL over Hero’s and a few tournaments in last year so I can’t have Hero’s above them.

M&D in distant third while Coppermine solid 4. I could see Pride Red even or just above Crush though.

The last three matches between M&D and MD United are:

MD United 28 5-2
MD United 28 9-4
MD United 28 7-4

There is no possible way to rank M&D higher.


Here is the last five matches between Hero's and MD United:

MD United 28 4-3
MD United 28 6-2 (2019 Lax Clash Championship)
Hero's Green 28 8-6
MD United 28 14-9 (NGLL 2020 Championship)
Tie 10-10

Can't see how Hero's gets the top spot.


Crush beat Hero's Green 10-8 in the NGLL 2020 so they should be ahead of Pride imo.

Let the crazy parents begin ranking 5th grade lacrosse! Get a grip people, or you will be burned out by high school.

Thanks for the advice but my therapist says this is perfectly healthy though legally I cannot go within 500 yards of the events

I heard LTRC is starting a club called LTLC Legends with a great coach that played at Towson U. They have a 28 & 29 team. Any thoughts on if it’s worth looking at? The website says better option than club lacrosse but I heard the person running has a daughter on a club- TLC. Think it’s just a matter of time before he leaves for a club and they are stuck with just another parent coach? Also concerned about how committed the coach is since I understand he also is coaching two LTSC Spring Soccer teams? Website states coaches aren’t coaching multiple teams so seems to conflict with what they state. Heard LTRC lacrosse was once one of the best programs. Love any feedback for when my rising 6th makes the jump in middle school from Rec to the next level.

I watched Crush play heros fairly tough during the spring. Think they likely need to be towards the back of the top 5 or 6.

LTRC is one of the best rec programs around. It also is a bit of a pipeline to Skywalkers. Actually this is where the Skywalkers owners kids played rec before they moved to club.

LTRC can call themselves anytime they want but it is still a Rec Team with a parent coach. If you want a good club lacrosse team look into- Hero’s, M&D, or Coppermine. They are the best teams if your girl is a good player and really wants to take it to the next level.

anyone know anything about Crush 2028 goalie or have seen her play?

Yes.

Shes good not great. In fairness, she doesn't have much to do most of the time. Nice Size, but needs to be more vocal. Hopefully that comes with age.

All those programs you listed have parent coaches so are they just a glorified rec team?
