Word on the street is that the ML parents are going to sit tight for spring. Expect big moves if ML has a tough spring. HOCO will decide if ML 28 survives at the elite level. So far all of the parents are happy with the new coaches and see the team getting better. Super team DCE black lost to Orange Crush and both DCE and NL have huge rosters so no one wants to face that. The wildcard is next week’s NAL tournament- if ML screws the pooch there we could be looking at another implosion. Book it.
Where would ML players go? As you mention DCE and NL are full-up, and I'm not sure what better options there are in the NOVA/DMV area. VLC imploded, True VA is weak, True Chesapeake blew up, Top Caliber still hasn't been able to field a 2028 team - where would they go?
This seems like a great opportunity for VLC to try to start reaching out to kids that tried out the past couple seasons. I mean they did bring back their 2027 team.
- People are not happy with ML ownership.
- DCE and NL have almost 30 kids on BOTH of their teams.
- True VA does not have a strong High School history in the area.
Then list goes on....
