Congrats to Coppermine. They have two exceptional players and with the new addition from MDU coming, those 3 will be something. Having said that, I wonder if the attackers for Coppermine will be charged a ticket for entry and just eat popcorn while those 3 dominate the ball? Iso, iso, iso. Everyone on here talks about recruiting, not sure how anyone gets seen if they are watching 3 girls take turns attacking cage and hanging out This is not how that team plays. Variety of players score. Lots of goals on cuts, motion, and crisp passing. But yes, if you were coaching talent like they have, you might run a few iso plays too...come on. Plus there are other functions than scoring goals on a lacrosse team. They have an outstanding draw taker, good defense, some great athletes that carry a big portion of the clears, and some good attackers who get in the mix. Very strong goaltending as well. I know that most on this thread will continue to talk down the team that they have built, but I think that's a waste of time. The question for their competitors should be how to finish when they have a slow start. That's really Coppermine's one weakness. Couple of bad bounces, a little flat in the first 10 minutes, and an opponent can find themselves in the fight, with a small lead, tied, etc. Aces figured it out--once--last summer when Coppermine was at full strength. That's what Hero's, Eagle Stix, and M&D, should focus on, instead of parents whining about very talented players doing what very talented players do. If not for a bungled stall that was working really well until an ill-advised pass - Eagle Stix would have won in regulation this weekend. Never understood the stall tactics of Eagle Stix. They have enough offensive power to score and keep pushing. I think they play better when they don't stall unless they are up by a few goals with 3 minutes or less or so.

Shot clocks need to be kept by officials at these tournaments. The girls are not learning the correct game when you’re not using a shot clock. It’s a completely different game. It’s not what college coaches want to watch either at the recruiting level.

I think you're right about 3d Maryland. M&D West and Coppermine is a toss up. And I have a feeling Crush will take out Heros in a one or two goal game and take the division.

It’s not what college coaches want to watch either at the recruiting level. It's not like ES played pressure defense to try to get the ball back. They also tried to stall because Coppermine did it to them. These are 8th graders. College coaches aren't watching and when they hit recruiting time there are fewer and fewer championship tournaments, they become more showcases anyway. Don't like the stall? Don't be put in that position. Most coaches detest it too but will gladly use it when necessary.

Agree with these adjustments on pool winners, especially Hero's. Not too controversial to pick Coppermine Black and Eagle Stix. Bold to pick Crush over Hero's above. Within Coppermine Black's pool, I think M&D will beat Aces though.

It actually was working really well and they got it down to the last minute or so, then a player made a...rough... pass that went straight to #14 stick.

Apparently the new Coppermine player from MDU was on the sidelines and did not play last weekend. Hope it is not a long term issue and could help increase the gap between Coppermine and ES...

Injury from soccer but will be back. Those 2 teams are on a different level than everyone else. Give me Crush beating Hero's.

Anyone have any insight on the new MDU? Hard to tell from their schedule at National Fall Fest if they have found a way to replace the scoring and all around play of their transferring player(s). FCA game seemed a little close, but they played Eagle Stix tough.

Why wouldn't the best Blue player move to Coppermine Black? That makes no sense. Because she read the writing on the wall and realized in the history of the 2028 age group Coppermine has only ever moved one player from Blue to Black (a goalie who is now no longer on black), but prefer to get new talent from other teams. Coppermine is not alone on this- pretty sure M&D has never moved anyone either, but they didn't have a red team for a while. This is not correct - a girl moved up two years ago and is still on the black team. Also best player is pretty subjective, the blue team still has 4-5 really strong players including its two top middies.

The player that moved from blue and is still on black isn't a starter and doesn't play much. Would have been better to stay on blue and develop.

Don't you realize it's all about the parents getting the tourney t-shirt or medal...why do you think the MDU player went there!

Driving age in Maryland is 16, most of these girls are barely 13 with a few just turning 14... yes there are plenty of older girls that have been held back for various reasons but I am doubtful that they are double hold backs!

Are Baltimore teams outside the top 5, like Crush and Sky Walkers not A teams? What is your logic?

The top 25 has a very broad spread from 1-25 in terms of competitiveness. After the top 10-15, those teams really fall off. so yes, there's really only 10-15 true A teams across all locations. Right now NJ, CT and VA don't have A teams, but B+ teams maybe.

Right now NJ, CT and VA don't have A teams, but B+ teams maybe. 3D Colorado AA won the Mid-Atlantic, and Urban Elite beat Coppermine at Nationals in July. LI teams often get good results against the top 10. Pride, at #19, has beat Sky Walkers 3 of the past 4, tied Aces, tied M&D, lost to Crush by 2 and 3 goals respectively, while beating other top 15 teams like LI Liberty. Philly teams like NXT have also had good results. Saying there are only 10-15 A teams is really limited.

Fall Power Rankings 28 Division Top 5
#1 Hero’s Green (New additions from out of states will put them at #1)
#2 M&D Black ( added the best player from Bethesda 27and the best player from Pride)
#3 Coppermine ( added legit players but there is only 1 ball which will lead to turmoil, jealousy, and in-house destruction)
#4 Crush ( amazing that they can keep this together)
#5 Skywalkers ( they will only get stronger as they get into high school. They will get the players next year from Coppermine that want to get recruited) Drinking early I see. Coppermine is the clear #1 and it’s not close. M&D may have gotten the best player from Pride but definitely not from BLC. Good but not the best and is a re class. Agree, this top 5 is really funny. Not sure there are enough top players from out of state for Hero's to catch Coppermine, unless they merged with Eagle Stix. M&D was really out of gas at the end of last year. Not sure 2 players are enough to turn that around. Sky Walkers hype is also fascinating; don't really see it yet, but we will get a look on Sunday. Not sure what the point is of predicting for 9th grade when the 8th graders haven't played a game yet, either. Good for Crush staying together. They seem to have good coaching and team culture. M&D will really struggle this year. Hero’s is not going to challenge Coppermine though, still not sure why everyone thinks Hero’s improved so much when the best player went to Coppermine. You clearly have no clue what you’re talking about. No Hero’s player went to Coppermine. Looks like the Heros to Coppermine was true after all. Glad she found a home.

Do we think the new MDU addition with help Coppermine? Didn't seem to do anything in National Lax Fest.

The top 25 has a very broad spread from 1-25 in terms of competitiveness. After the top 10-15, those teams really fall off. so yes, there's really only 10-15 true A teams across all locations. Right now NJ, CT and VA don't have A teams, but B+ teams maybe. Aren’t you the expert ? Steps , Grizzlies and Capital would love to play you. Where do we sign up for those games? And there is no 28 Capital team yet.

Who does everyone think the best 2028 is? Coppermine and ES, and then a big drop-off.

You've said it 20 times. But drop offs get smaller and smaller as the girls get older. Heros has yet to play anyone, as well as many other teams around the country.

Whether people like it or not, those 2 teams have separated themselves from the pack. Comments about NXT, CT Grizzlies and some other teams are funny.

Fall Power Rankings 28 Division Top 5
#1 Hero’s Green (New additions from out of states will put them at #1)
#2 M&D Black ( added the best player from Bethesda 27and the best player from Pride)
#3 Coppermine ( added legit players but there is only 1 ball which will lead to turmoil, jealousy, and in-house destruction)
#4 Crush ( amazing that they can keep this together)
#5 Skywalkers ( they will only get stronger as they get into high school. They will get the players next year from Coppermine that want to get recruited) Mark this post: I know at least one top player from the clubs listed above that will be going to Skywalkers next year! May even happen during this club year! Well this post, and the comment below it didn't age very well. Turns out Coppermine is still Coppermine, which surprises no one except the prior poster. And the Sky Walkers hype was apparently just that. I'm sure Sky Walkers hype dad will now pivot back to how all the girls from the rest of the Baltimore teams like Coppermine and Crush will be certain to move over next year "for recruiting".

Takeaways after a few tourneys.
Coppermine and Eagle Stix are as good as they were last year; and Coppermine isn't at full strength yet. Very strong teams, no real weaknesses in any phase. Will take a special effort, with some really good luck, for the rest of the top 15 to beat either one.
Looks like Hero's has been next best, but had a tough game with Eagle Stix over the weekend. M&D has had some good results, winning the games they are supposed to win, keeping it close against the top two. MDU will still be a factor this year. Somebody asked above if they had adjusted to changed roster--it looks like it. Good team, plays very tough defense. Well-coached.
Hard to say where Crush is at. They look the same in the eye test but have had some mixed results. Sky Walkers hasn't started clicking yet, but it would be hard to live up to the expectations from their boosters on this thread in any event.
