US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Boys 2028-8th Grade Fall 2023/Summer 2024

Ah now we start seeing the truth with your narrative woven in.
DCE is a new team this year so they recruited hard and severak kids would have had their eye on moving as soon as they could. How is that a coup? How many are on scholarship?
Who is coach of DCE and what HS is he at? What HS are the kids moving from? Who were the core 4 that the others followed because they didn't want to be left holding the bag?
Do you consider yourself one of the mediocre BLC kids that is exited to have new talent come in and push you to the bench, one of the kids that followed the others as filler or got cut by Cab and youre grinding that axe on a message board.

Wrong Forum

DCE did not recruit. The kids left en masse, as a group. It was a coup. Plain and simple.
Coaches are Ray Megill, Bobby Horsey, and CJ Carpenter. Megill owns DCE, played at Maryland and professionally. As did Horsey. Carpenter played at Duke. They’ll be fine.
Cabell lost badly at 2028 as he also did most recently at 2024 and 2026. Cabell has literally never cut a kid from the 2028 team. Not once. He’ll take any player and his parents’ money.

Yes, but Cabell bashing is entertaining whether you’re in NY or in MD. Universally enjoyable.

And universally disliked. You Ungrateful Quitters!

I actually like him quite a bit. Entertaining guy to hang out with. Always honest with us and we went knowing about the old article about ungrateful quitters. Of course, I am no person to judge anyone on past transgressions, just how they interacted with me and mine. With that in mind we had a few awesome and fun years at Madax.

Hi Cab!

What do you mean he lost at 24? Im pretty sure he never lost a game, a tournament or anything on the field to the teams those kids left for. He reloaded when they left then beat them every time they played but dont ever let facts get in the way of your agenda.

Wrong Forum!! No one here cares about Madlax and their 2028-15 yr old players

You’re kidding me, right? He lost their best 4-5 players, including the top ranked 2024 player in the nation, Ryan Duenkel. And they left because Cabell was the coach. No other reason. Zippo. Most went to Next Level, who is ranked 9th in the nation. Madlax? 36th. They were top 2-3 before he ran those kids off in order to keep his two sons on the field.

How is it the wrong forum? I don’t care about ML either but they are talking about 28s.

Next Level with and with out Deunkel et al never beat Madlax. And other than Ryan thats not true that it was the top players by any means. The offense ran through KM and AP anyway and continued to with out issue. St Johns kids moved to be with St Johns coach plus a little Cab but all specialist positions at ML were better and CM outcoached NL…….and those players also moved to align with their coach’s but again never ever beat CB and ML team they left. For the years it mattered ML was always ranked above NL. Not disagreeing he is a lot to handle but stop with the BS title. See you in 6 months and ML will be whipping up on your DCE Coup de [Censored].

You are delusional. ML 28 is a shell of its former self. If ML wins more than 2 games in HOCO it will be a major accomplishment. ML lost its best defender both of its best LSMs most of their starting midfielders and most of their attack. Maybe the new goalie is an improvement (time will tell). My prediction is that ML 28 is out of the top 50 by the end of the summer.

The record will show that Cab wrecked that team. Which is too bad because the families were friendly and the kids were friends. The forfiet to the red hots was too much for most people- the team’s fate was sealed at that point. Cab will continue to drive more players away. Look for more defections by the summer. Multiple ML players are already playing for MOJO which will make leaving for NL that much easier.

If their HOCO season is as bad as I think it will be their might not be a ML 28 this summer. The better true players did not blow up true Chesapeake to lose game after game.

This is a NY and CT board. No one cares about Madlax and their dysfunctional team. No one here respected them anyway, running 15 yr old 8th graders out there to play our 13 yr olds.

I love it when one person speaks for everyone.

Seriously take it to the Maryland board.

I loved the more simple times when we just made fun of the rebel and turtle moms.

LOL

They were supposed to be the first Town team to win the WSYL. How’d that work out?

Will 91 Venom start flying in Texas kids this spring or will they wait another year?

Who knows but we all know express has already started using fly-ins who aren’t even in the grade.

Who are you referring to? The Turtles are club team? Its too bad they did not keep that group together and add pieces bc those kids are now scattered all over top teams and starting.

Where are these kids starting ?

Add pieces?
Nobody ever wanted to join that dumpster fire.

True story

Redhots giving out championship rings 🤣 rotflmao
It’s bad enough giving out rings but giving out rings to 15year olds that beat up on 13 year olds! Only in lacrosse!!!

National teams are a joke. Revolving rosters, most teams can’t get their best players to play for them. Money grab.

These kids are gonna look back at this when they’re juniors and seniors in high school and wonder with were they thinking??!! Cringeworthy.

All clubs are money grabs

Red Hots aren’t a team and a total joke. Insta money grab. National teams should be relegated to their own tournaments. USA Lacrosse is becoming a joke. As a governing body of a a youth sport they have zero control and the board members we all pay should be ashamed

I would add to your comment that the National teams should have their own rankings. Ridiculous that you rank national teams with local clubs when kids play on both at the same time.

The rosters are not set on National teams either. I agree they should not be ranked with club teams.

While many boys play on multiple clubs, the national teams also allow players who live in non hotbed areas to play on competitive teams. I personally think we take the rankings too seriously.

Thank you for the breath of fresh air in an otherwise nauseating topic.

US Club Lax who runs the rankings has the power to separate the two, Club vs National. I would expect they will draw a line in the sand soon based on the feedback folks are providing. Nothing wrong with National teams, but they need their own bucket.

Red Hots Dad

The 91 and Express dads sweating it out on BOC over their son's team not being in the top 10!!! Don't worry your son will be replaced by a reclass or holdback very shortly!

Agree, holdbacks are coming, nobody is safe in their current position. Express is infamous for bringing players down as the summer rolls. Last year at the Gauntlet in CT the 27s were an entirely new squad. Same thing will happen to the 28s. Express is going to have 76 players in the two team player pool!

Red hots are cheating at the circuit with how many “exceptions” to the age rule they have. The circuit knows. And doesn’t care.

What a joke of a group of adults running that circus.

Every '28 Circuit team is permitted to have 3 exceptions. '29 two, '30 one, '31 zero. The exceptions phase out each year.
