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 NAL on Sunday and saw Madlax and FCA play. Madlax looked tiny compared to the West Coast Starts team they were playing against. Didn't look to have any new players that were difference makers and same old offensive plays that we've all seen. FCA looked smaller as well in the two games I saw them play (Dukes / MadDog). They actually had the lead up 2-0 against eventual champion MadDog National heading into the 4th quarter, before falling 3-2.
Maybe they just grow them bigger out west or you are seeing the difference in size between a "National" team vs. more of a traditional more area based club team. My older son went through this before with the 2027's and every kid is growing at different rates now....but you see the difference in those kids who have hit puberty earlier.
