True should be discussed; I think they could hold their own against the bottom 3 in the elite division.

Does any team go winless? 0-8

By definition, the bottom team in the division has potential to go winless. If I were one of the 4 teams in the discussion for the last two spots (91, FCA, NextLevel, True) it would be a close call whether I preferred to be in Elite or AAA. The top 3-5 Elite teams are loaded with holdbacks and at age 13-14 an extra year of development is huge. A team of on age players might have a better experience in AAA, which has plenty of good teams too.

In the Elite Division.......not sure what it will look like but I will go out on a limb and say FCA vs True would be the basement battle.

I believe some of them were in the API 26 which had some strong players.

May be the most sensible post that I’ve ever read in this forum, bravo!

Every team playing elite; even the bottom 3-4, are loaded with holdbacks. Let’s be honest

True will compete. We took Hawks till the very end in the fall. Coach Rage was worried and he should be considering his last 3 fall games were very close. hawks runs the same offense since 4th grade nothing has changed and other coaches are now out coaching him. Coaching and yelling at kids are two different things

We practice intense and play intense

What was the score of the Hawks game? Were all the hawks kids there? If true played that well with just the True Annapolis kids, then they should be in Elite? Did True play in the fall Hoco league?

New AAA division in HOCO; FCA, 91, True, Roughriders, Zingos, AYLC, Breakers, Koopers.

Coach Rage ha

By my count that leaves just seven in Elite - Hawks, Looneys, Crabs, BLC, VLC, MadLax, and NextLevel - am I forgetting somebody?

And by the way, I am not sure that NextLevel is ready or would want to be in Elite, and have heard that Crabs and VLC cannot both be in because they are under common ownership.

Not sure about what Hawks were there, but that wasn't True Annapolis. That was True Atlantic at that tournament. Whatever that is.

If you are putting Madlax over Hawks I want what you are smoking
