DCE Orange and Hawks Black will play AAA, Predators down to A looking at their fall scores. For HOCO, the focus is on where you finished last HOCO season, not how you did in the Fall. Predators won AA, so likely going to AAA on that basis alone. Bethesda Bandits now DCE Orange played in A, so I doubt they jump up two divisions. Sounds like a play in game is likely for AAA. The BLC 2028 Blue team played in the Elite in HOCO. Then when the end of summer came half of the ML 2028 team came over and split the BLC 2028 team into DCE Black and Orange. So I am guessing the DCE Orange will play AAA. Like Reply Quote

Time for some new blood in AAA, been the same teams for a few years now. Last edited by Team BOTC; . Reason: Duplicate quotes Like Reply Quote

And if those 4/5, 2+ are gone this spring/summer. Like Reply Quote

The Red Hots thing makes no sense to me. Can’t imagine it exists beyond 8th grade? No club coach/director is going to let their better players go off on some self-gratifying Instagram jaunt over playing with their regular Club team when this stuff actually matters— summer after 8th grade to summer after 10th grade.

With all those players, is everyone welcome or they have a maximum amount of players for each tournament? Do they select the players for the tournament? Asking for a friend. Like Reply Quote

Re: Boys 2028 Grads - Mid Atlantic Region TheBackOfTheCage #431361 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A So I saw a kids posting on social media that they where flying from Baltimore to Florida on Christmas morning to play in the circuit. Umm, imo I think it’s a little much. Half the family stays home and the other half travels. Asking, is it worth it? I guess 8th grade sports is more important. Like Reply Quote

Re: Boys 2028 Grads - Mid Atlantic Region Anonymous #431362 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A The fact CM schedules all ML (“Supreme Nationals” LMAO) teams in the worst pools shows how little confidence he has in his organization. It’s laughable how obvious the scheduling fix is. Because of the cupcake pool play games, they will make the bracket at most ages, but won’t win a single championship. ML is on its way out.

You can bank on spending $10,000 if your kid plays in The Circuit (travel, flight, hotel, rental car, food, lax fees, etc.) for all 3 events; maybe more. Probably the biggest money grab in youth sports. The real athletes are playing football, soccer, basketball, baseball and wrestling. Like Reply Quote

Re: Boys 2028 Grads - Mid Atlantic Region TheBackOfTheCage #431377 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A The best players left on ML - thru multiple age groups, but particularly the 28s - also play on MOJOs. Odds those kids leave at the end of spring and/or after HS acceptances? Very high. The boys, who are all friends talk about it openly. Like Reply Quote

Sunday games not any better for Cabell & Co. Got absolutely whitewashed by a team from Boston 13-2. And according to a ML parent, Cabell was on full tilt as usual. Last two games outscored 21-5. The “Burrito Supremes” experiment is off to a rough start, heard they had 35 kids on the sidelines.
