Interesting to see the top HOCO Elite teams battling at NAL this past weekend.
Hawks lost
True Chesapeake lost
FCA lost
Madlax lost
Was at the NAL event on Saturday with True Chesapeake. The biggest difference I saw was the size and athleticism of some of these 7th graders, especially on the state wide and national teams. Age Verification has ruled out holdbacks at the 2029 level, so not complaining, just was incredible to see the size, speed and strength of some of these kids. I guess if someone put together a state-wide Maryland team you’d be able to have the same thing.
Great tournament thought with a lot of talented teams. 3d New England was very good and it was the first time I saw someone really take it to the Hawks.
