| And the 1-0 is indeed just a forfeit score. Cavs beat Madlax DMV on the field last week with their high school player. |

Gotta wonder why the Cavs coach thought that was a good idea.
And oh the irony of ML, who is often accused of roster cheating, getting victimized by roster cheating... |
sad if true, cavs would be in the hall of shame list and will never live it down.. which high school? any decent coach and organization would have put one of their own rostered kids in goal and take their chances. the parents of this team and players can't feel good about this. |

Totally agree. I am not an insider to these teams, but have heard the following from reliable sources:
(1) the regular Cav's goalie was injured; (2) they suited up a ninth grade goalie (2024); (3) Cav's beat MadLax in the semi's and the next day beat NextLevel in the finals, using the ninth grade goalie both days; (4) an opposing parent recognized the goalie and turned him in (not sure if it came from ML or NL) (5) Once HoCo confirmed the ninth grade goalie, they DQ's Cav's and allowed MadLax and NextLevel to play a week later for the championship. I don't know who won. Takeaways: Kudo's to HoCo for allowing the championship to be re-played. That was probably not an easy thing logistically but they did the right thing. Pretty unbelievable that Cav's could be so unethical, and so foolish; did they really think that nobody would notice? The championship is still on social media?? Unfortunately I have no sense of humor when it comes to cheating in kids sports, but if I did, I would find that absolutely hilarious! |
| Since I have no dog in the fight I find this hilarious. I wonder was it an older sibling who happened to be at the game? If this were the only option why not just be up front? What is True humor is that it happened to Madlax |

@13:14 Next Level isn’t in 2027 AA. Team Maryland Red was the finals opponent.
But geez couldn’t the Cavs get a goalie a little closer in age to the 2027s? Cheat better next time, Cavs! |
it seems likely that older 2024 cavs player stepped in to help here rather than having on age rostered player step in goal. madlax dmv was different is that they rostered combined 25/26 team but fielded team in hoco 26 division (rather than 25B divison) playing entire season before forfeiting after beating blc in playoffs for playing 6th graders (who weren't marginal if anyone is asking) in 5th grade division. |
This ML 2026/2025 cheating happened in 2019, right? This year ML DMV 2025 was so awful that I'm not sure it would have helped the (equally awful) ML DMV 2026 team to combine teams...

correct that was a few years ago. both teams have developmental players and good athletes so give them a break at least they are playing at correct grade level |
As bad a message this is to youth players BW is still the leader in the hall of shane |
fortunately the championship posting has been removed from social media. That player may not be tall but is old enough to know better and if his parent knew about it in advance he may want to reconsider his own coaching HS credentials starting with tonight's home game. |
| I've heard this team will be nonexistent in the fall with kids going to Hammers or to VLC. If either of those programs will have them. |
| Where does the dad coach and does the school even know what happened? In my humble opinion both the dad and son should be canceled from high school lacrosse. |
| It's like they've never had to pick some random kid from their own team who's never played goalie to suit up. That happens at like 80% of rec games, and plenty of travel when all the goalies are at hockey tournaments. |
That’s not quite the same as a high schooler getting picked up for a sixth grade championship game. |
