Ha! My commentary was about the prediction of Next Level leading the league not about importance of lacrosse at 12. Obviously, if you have your son competing at the Elite level of club lacrosse you know full well that it matters. I'll predict that the HOCO Elite 2030 division will be a gauntlet of talented boys scrapping to be the best and Next Level will have its work cut out for them to beat Madlax and Crabs. I've seen all three of the aforementioned teams and they are all very good.

More importantly we need the Maryland teams to stop letting teams from New York and Florida eat our lunch at the 2030 age group.
