A huge reason the younger teams are weaker is because of COVID and the Rec system on the Eastern Shore. They are joining forces with M&D to build the younger ages. LBC's 22 team was always a top 20 team. They were ranked above Integrity always and consistent with MDU. LBC 25 team played in the NGLL playoffs numerous years and beat SW two weeks ago. This just isn't true. It is true their 28 team is weaker and their 29 team is a solid B team. The reason the younger teams didn't play in the NGLL was because of distance. A large portion of the teams are from the beach which is a 3 hour one way drive to Western Regional Park.
LBC 2022 finished ranked 31st, not top 20, not consistent with MDU which was ranked 9th.
If you are willing to travel over the bridge, you have options, if time and distance prevent that, yes M&D Shore is likely only game in town.
