Everyone was out drinking heavily at the 2028's dismal showings this past weekend....

No doubt there was some bad lacrosse played at AS by a couple of the DC/VA/MD 2028 teams, but this post from another thread is on target as far as I am concerned:

"It's become pretty obvious the past couple of years, is that other regions take American Select much more seriously. At the rising Junior age group, especially, it makes sense to bring a team together, practice, and try to get into the playoffs and get additional looks from college coaches, etc. But other regions are doing this all the way down to the 8th Graders.

DC-VA, and even Maryland, don't seem to really invest in American Select. No practices until the week or two before. The difference in intensity and effort around this event is noticeable, and honestly, seems like this area could put a better foot forward--regional pride or something."

2025's DC/VA won America Select. Maybe people on this board should stop comparing their daughters' class year to the 25's. That was an exceptional class. They also won School Girls and just lost in Highlight Division Championship at New Balance.

No. In 2021 when the 2025s were rising 9th graders they went 1-4, only winning their consolation game, which is exactly what the 2028s did over the weekend.

Are you really comparing one of the worst classes ever (2028s) to one of the best classes (2025s)? Stop using the 2025s as a future indicator for the success of the 27 and 28s.

26's will be interesting. Some top tier players for sure and some that are just OK. If the OK ones find their way to top lacrosse schools, the Capital magic is real.

One of the worst classes ever? How would one even make that determination? The girls have not even started high school! Give them a chance FFS.

Why doesn't the regional rep for DC-VA run the program better? Why do other areas invest more time and effort? Maybe AS should switch the DC-VA rep to one that will actually promote growth and competition for our girls.

Maybe the girls just want a break for a month. High school club tryouts is the reason Pride and Stars stopped the Summer season early. These girls are fried by now so give them a break.

Yes one of the worst classes. The Capital blue 2028 team will be bad.

Yes one of the worst classes. The Capital blue 2028 team will be bad.

No it will not be “bad.” My best guess is top 20, then top 15 and likely ending up top 8-10.

What are we talking about here? 2028 is worst ever coast to coast? Midatlantic? DC/MD/VA? Just NoVa? American Select team only?

DC and the MD and VA counties around DC plus Loudon are the worst ever 2928 class. Huge drop off in talent from prior years (e.g., the 2025s).

OK 2025 Parent... we get it, your daughter was on Capital 2025s and she and her teammates are the best ever! How about you give it a break and let these girls (2028s) have a chance to develop and prove themselves before you write them off!

I think they were trying to say the 2025's were the greatest of all time. Even 900 years from now, people will read about them in ancient history books....

Yes, it will be the golden age of lacrosse in the DMV. The bad stepsister of the 2028s will not be remembered fondly in those same books!

What the current capital parents refuse to acknowledge is that the 2028 DMV class lost a lot of talent to Maryland teams. Capital needs to change its approach, because more than ever people are willing to drive to Maryland for a better option. The former pride/now capital parents are clinging to the over inflated #7 ranking like they are Jack clinging to the door on the titanic. This is not a class you can compare to other capital classes, because they lost more talent than any other year to Maryland early on.

Pride was #7 no matter how much that hurts your feelings. See you on the fields this fall! And some of those MD commuters, too!
