Last summer, the 28 DMV team was in a championship B tournament and their goalie was invited to the Vail tournament as the back up goalie for the CAP team. All well and good, but the problem was that CM, who controls the 28 team, didn't tell the DMV parents or find a replacement....so they showed up to their tournament and had to forfeit. I'm not an ML parent (thank god), but several DMV parents told me they were very pissed off because they were trying to text him while he was in Vail (a tournament CM himself got kicked out of, mind you) to see what was going on and he didn't respond.

This is all factual. ML can try to spin it anyway they want, but I know 3 parents with kids on the old team.

This is 100% true. And CM got kicked out of the final day in Vail for “putting his hands on a ref” and didn’t think to let his team or the parents know about this until he showed up the following morning between games. Clown of epic proportions.

We get it, CM didnt give you son a position on team. Maybe look inward. Might find something
Madlax is a B team masquerading as Elite. They literally may go winless in HoCo.

Not a Madlax dad, but they did fine in the fall when the fly-ins were there. I wouldn't personally travel from FL or MI for one lax game, but if those fly-in kids have family here or are otherwise willing to do it -- and remember that True kids did it last year, purportedly from even farther away -- then they may be competitive enough.

Madlax did fine avoiding Next Level and DC Express and playing in lower tournaments.

Again, not a ML dad so I won't defend their ducking local teams - agreed that's pretty weak - but they had a quality win over Duke's Elite when they had their fly-ins in tow, then laid an egg at NAL where I understand they did not have them. That's why I think they'll go as far in HOCO as their fly-ins will take them, but doubt they're a top four team even with them (especially if they lost their big middie).


Cabel will suprise you. But I think a solid 5th place finish is in their future.
7th place if they can beat Team 91, which is not a lock
