The 2028 board is the liveliest of all the graduation years by far. Kudos to all the parents that make this such an interesting and fun board.

I wish all the other graduation years were this lively

This board is terrible. Nothing but haters. I wish my daughter was any year but 2028.

Agree that there are some truly awful people on here. Data Guy is good though. Like him.

Data guy is great. Looking forward to his predictions for the upcoming weekend.

I am always surprised Data Guy's posts don't get more engagement. I suspect they are too long for the average reader on here who just wants to see the fireworks. Data Guy, I love what you are doing. Please keep them coming.

PS - Other than Stars beating MDU, which nobody outside of Team Stars would have predicted, Data Guy's picks last week were remarkably on target.

Nope, Stats didn’t expect that either

Big shout out to data guy. Love the fact so many teams are getting better and we have lots of close games. The top 12 teams in this NGLL season are all solid and they have only improved by playing each other.

Enough of you parents hyping up Stars, clearly you are either parents of stars players or don't know lacrosse. If you have been to any tournaments you can clearly see that Coppermine is lights years better than them. Frankly when the two teams play even Coppermine's backups make the Stars girls look like they have never picked up a stick before. So please Stars parents refrain from speaking from now on until your daughter is on a better club team.

What horrible thing happened to you as a child that pushes you to tear down other children this way?

Seriously, WTF is wrong with you?

Well I think we can rule out a high academic.

Picks were pretty good this week overall, but I'm happy to say that my biggest miss of the season on a W/L was Stars LB's big upset.

Pride gutted out a tough 4-3 win, beating MDU East with a full-field, hustle-driven effort, in a game that could have had a bigger spread with some cleaner play and converted opportunities. Stars, playing MDU in their second game, pulled it out 8-6 with good attack and goalie/defense play, winning the second half 4-2.

Pride and Stars now sit in 3rd and 4th place separated by only Goals Against, in what must be a first for the NGLL Mid-Atlantic division with 6 out of 8 games played.

There are significant playoff implications from these wins, with Pride set up for a shot at the #2 or 3 seed if they win out, and Stars having a shot at the 5th or even 4th seed, if they do the same. Pride's seeding depends on the Hero's Green vs Coppermine matchup in game 8, and Stars seed will most likely come down to Goals Against compared to Crush.

Looking ahead, that means that Pride is likely to get Sky Walkers (if #2 seed), or M&D (if #3), in a first round playoff; Stars will almost certainly play Crush either way. If Stars pull out an even bigger upset against Coppermine, everything changes.

Week 4 Results--

> STARS -3 (6-3) --Stars Light Blue -4 vs MD United West (I've got Stars overcoming their surprising losses to MD United West in the Fall, and exceeding their predicted margin)

< PRIDE -17 (17-0) --Pride Red -13 vs MC Elite (Pride plays MC Elite in their first of a double header. Given the focus on the second game, they will likely try and shut down and play a controlled second half)

= PRIDE -1 (4-3) --Pride Red -1 vs MD United East (Only an hour to transition to their biggest game of the regular season and get back into a competitive mindset. Even if they jumped MDU in the rankings, a win here would be a first, and an upset for Pride. Calling it, but a close game)

*** STARS -2 (8-6) --MD United East -5 over Stars LB (MDU East plays Pride first; but they will be tough to handle if they lose) WRONG

Key Matchups

> HERO’S -2 (7-5) --Hero's Green -3 vs M&D Black (Playoff seeding implications here, and M&D will come to play, but Hero's Green will over-perform a bit)

The Rest

> C/MINE -3 (9-6) --Coppermine -10 vs M&D Red (M&D Red came back to earth last week. Expecting a similar spread against Coppermine)

< C/MINE -11 (14-3) --Coppermine -10 vs 3d Maryland (Tough matchups for 3D MD this weekend. They come in 3-1, but after getting taken to the woodshed by Sky Walkers, not sure they will be able to compete)

< M&D Bl -9 (13-4) --M&D Black -8 vs MD United West (M&D will be looking to bounce back after a loss to Hero's Green)

< CRUSH -10 (12-2) --Crush -8 vs 3d Maryland (Crush is playing very well and will over perform against the expected spread)

> CRUSH -2 (8-6) --Crush -3 vs Sky Walkers (Which Sky Walkers team will show up? A very hard team to predict; they could win this game by 4, or lose by 7, depending on the day. I'm sticking with the predicted spread.)

< CCLax -10 (11-1) --CCLax -7 vs M&D West (CC Lax is coming off a tough stretch of games and will double their expected spread)

* FCA -1 (9-8) --M&D Red -2 vs FCA (This is a tough one to call. Almost flipped it to FCA)

= FCA -5 (9-4) --FCA Blue -5 vs NEMS (Not the most interesting game)

< HERO’S W -3 (6-3) --Hero's White -2 vs M&D West (Hero's White will get their first W. US Club Lax is off on this one.)

< HERO’S W – 6 (11-5) Hero's White -4 vs Integrity (2 wins on the day for Hero's White.)

Parents of 2028 players enough glorifying this so called "data guy". All we are doing here is enabling degenerate gambling behavior. Think about this for a second, this a grown man setting lines on your 13-14 year old daughters lacrosse game. This is not something we need to applaud for being right, frankly shame on you parents for allowing this to happen. I was not familiar with this "data guy", or degenerate as we really should be calling him, until I saw a couple of you exclaiming how good a job he did with this weeks picks. I was obviously a bit off put by these statements as what could you possibly mean by "picks?". So I went back and found this post and I am absolutely horrified by what I am seeing. I don't want to even get into all this implications this might have besides the obvious, because if you won't do this for our daughters do it for him, he is clearly an addict who needs gambling so badly that he turns to his daughters lacrosse games and tournaments to relief. So if you know who this man actually is play assist him in seeking professional help and for the rest of us please collectively condemn this behavior

Full moon indeed. This certainly wasn't the type of "engagement" I was looking for. While I'm hoping this was an elaborate, and, if so, pretty effective, troll post, just in case--I feel the need to respond.

First, you can rest assured that NO ONE is gambling on 8th grade club lacrosse, and certainly not using predictions offered on a message board to do so. These are simple predictions/analyses on upcoming games intended to get conversation going about club lacrosse games. Almost every thread on the broader board (high school, club, even the 2030s) has posts like these about upcoming games. A lot of us spend a great deal of time supporting our kids' lacrosse and enjoy talking about how they, and their teams. are developing, becoming more competitive, and advancing the game. Some find it fun to agree/disagree/debate, or according to the above posts, read and enjoy without comment. I will let the people vote, but count your one voice for "condemnation" accordingly.

Second, I have probably placed one or two bets on sports in my entire life--at a legal sports book in Las Vegas during March madness while in my 20s--so please don't worry about me needing any help with gambling.

So if you know who this person actually is, please help them relax, take a deep breath, and maybe not read posts they don't like. Sports might not be your cup of tea.

Wow. Nobody is disagreeing that Coppermine and Heroes Green are incredibly great teams. That does not mean that the next 10 teams in the league are not good teams. This is a great division to be a part of for all of these teams and it just makes all of the girls better. Enjoy the games and the competition. Also, I would rather have my daughter on a team like M&D or Stars or Pride where they gain confidence by winning but also learn they can get better when they play teams like Coppermine.

The trolling going on is epic.

There was talk yesterday on another board about M&D “regressing, not progressing.” Hard go know whether that was trolling or a legitimate issue. Does anyone have any insights on the situation over there?
