Not from NE or Mid Atlantic region. At fall Adrenaline Gold Cup in Delaware, our team surprisingly beat ML 6-5 in OT in pool play after being up 5-1 at half and ML #47 was playing and was nearly unstoppable. I tried to find the old Twitch stream of the game but looks like they don't get archived. I'm guessing by his general reprehensible behavior, the ML coach would probably admit and brag about the high five, as would the player. I'm guessing ML parents who aren't completely ashamed would also admit to seeing it. Whatever. ML took a bad loss, then proceeded to lose badly in the final to Team 91 Georgia who ML pounded in pool play. All of this was before we West Coast neophytes knew the ML coach was the Hey Ungrateful Quitter guy. You seriously can't make this stuff up. Then that same ML team goes to fall NAL and loses twice. Next thing you know, the Madlax Capital team is retroactively known as Madlax Monuments for the fall. I contacted USCL and Adrenaline just curious about the mechanics of this stuff, and they basically said their hands are tied. Obviously if you aren't already, make sure your kids understand that the rankings are mostly a joke and unregulated and what matters is results on the field at any given tournament.
