Fall tourney schedules/groups are pretty much out. What are people's thoughts/predictions?

Looks like both Capital teams, Pride Black and White, and Stars will all be at the Chesapeake Invitational. Brackets look pretty balanced.

Anyone want to comment on how their new teams look after all the offseason realignment, and how they might fare in the season openers?

I will take a swing.

Stars LB has a couple of tough games with Sky Walkers White and Florida Select. Good to see they are mixing it up.

Both Pride teams look properly placed in groups, but depending how their final rosters shook out, could struggle a bit.

Capital Orange looks to be in a group they should do well in and could go 2-1 or 3-0.

Capital Blue is jumping right in, however, playing 3 teams that finished in the top 10 last year in Aces, M&D Black and Eagle Stix at Chesapeake. They do not appear to be getting a warm up bracket for the first tournament like the 2027s did last year, and overall have as tough a schedule as anybody in November.
They play 9 games against top 10 teams in the November tournaments, including Hero's Green, Eagle Stix, Crush, Coppermine, M&D Black and Aces. And they round those games out with Laxachusetts, Sky Walkers, and Jesters--all tough outs (apparently Sky Walkers looked great at the Play Day last week). A baptism by fire to be sure. They may only be legitimately favored to beat one team (M&D Red) on their Fall schedule.

Cue the naysayers. I will go with PP's recommendation to wait until after the summer before judging how any of these teams are doing.

Good luck to all and look forward to seeing friends and rivals out there on the sidelines.

Capital will be fine. Getting the tie against a tough Hero’s team was a tremendous confidence booster. Also, to be ranked in the top 10, you have to consistently play the top 10. Gone are the easy opponents from last year that some of these girls faced. This is what they signed up for.

In a way, Capital is like the Kamala Harris of 2028 lacrosse teams. November is going to be rough. Have a great day everyone!

They said the same thing about the 2026/2025 teams! Haha!

. September was not very rough for the 2026 or 2025 Capital and I would say November will be a breeze....... I imagine the same traejctory for 2027/2028 once recruiting is in full swing.

Let me put my glasses on for this. Are you implying the 2028 teams are as good as the 2025 teams? I need a new prescription.

Not the PP but this topic has run its course on this page (like many others). Here is the recap:

A lot of people think the 2028 Capital team is terrible despite being comprised of a large majority of Pride players who ended last season ranked #7 which is higher than any Pride team ever ranked prior to the mass exodus to Capital that occurs in 9th grade.

People that have been following Capital for a while (and follow the 2025, 2026, etc) say this happens every year when girls merge to a new team to start high school and each year the Capital teams get better which culminates in excellent recruiting success (which is hard to argue).

Time will tell if this 2028 group follows the same trajectory but I guess there will be 200 more pages of the same argument until recruiting time comes

why don't you just start your own text thread for capital blue parents. You obviously are one.

All of the Hero’s players were there. Do you just make crap up?

Same here, though I would probably prefer a more balanced discussion including the other teams, including teams not in the top 10. I do like to know what's going on at the top MD clubs for reference if anyone can share how the big dogs are looking. I hear Hero's is stronger to the detriment of Coppermine, and initial reports of Sky Walkers were positive. How about M&D Black and Crush? What's the conventional wisdom for pecking order of the top MD teams? And then what is the pecking order of the second teams at the top clubs?

Was there ever a roster posted anywhere for the 2028 Capital teams? A google search only yields the Capital website which was last updated with the 2025 teams.

What's the conventional wisdom for pecking order of the top MD teams? And then what is the pecking order of the second teams at the top clubs?

From what I hear, coming out of summer reshuffling on the Maryland side, here is the preseason pecking order:

--Hero's Green (finished #2): Locked and loaded to compete for #1 ranking over full season. Only got stronger and will integrate new top middie into rotation. Some on the MD boards expressed concern about chemistry, but I think coaching and team culture are strong enough that this works.

--Crush (finished #5): Kept their whole core team together. Played quite well over the summer. Still have top caliber coaching. Big call to have them jumping Coppermine, but going with trajectory and continuity.

--M&D Black (finished #6): I went back and forth on whether to put Coppermine or M&D in this slot. I believe M&D had the most roster movement of any big MD club. Added some strong talent from Coppermine and lost a couple good players to them. Still strong in all phases with good coaching and strong club organization. May leap Coppermine.

--Coppermine (finished #4): Interesting season and offseason for Coppermine. From total dominance to becoming beatable down the stretch. They had a lot of roster and even coaching movement over the summer. Lost an outstanding player, but will still field possibly the strongest midfield in the group/country. Will be interesting to see how they adapt to losing great players to M&D and Hero's.

--Sky Walkers (finished #17): By all accounts they looked good at the play day and have added some talent. They run a great dynamic offense and play disciplined D. I see them climbing up toward, if not into, the top 10, passing MDU East, but not overtaking their Baltimore area rivals.

--MDU East (finished #12): Solid top 15 team. Kept team together. Came back to the pack a bit last year, but will hold position in the 10-15 ranking range.

Nice breakdown and reasonable. I might place MDU East in top 10 by Summer and I think Coppermine Black is more of a question mark due to losing some key defensive players to M&D Black but they will do well.

Should be noted that M&D Black lost one of their top middies to Hero’s as well. So Hero’s gained two strong middies to an already great middie group.

Fall tourney schedules/groups are pretty much out. What are people's thoughts/predictions?

Looks like both Capital teams, Pride Black and White, and Stars will all be at the Chesapeake Invitational. Brackets look pretty balanced.

Anyone want to comment on how their new teams look after all the offseason realignment, and how they might fare in the season openers?

I will take a swing.

Stars LB has a couple of tough games with Sky Walkers White and Florida Select. Good to see they are mixing it up.

Both Pride teams look properly placed in groups, but depending how their final rosters shook out, could struggle a bit.

Capital Orange looks to be in a group they should do well in and could go 2-1 or 3-0.

Capital Blue is jumping right in, however, playing 3 teams that finished in the top 10 last year in Aces, M&D Black and Eagle Stix at Chesapeake. They do not appear to be getting a warm up bracket for the first tournament like the 2027s did last year, and overall have as tough a schedule as anybody in November.
They play 9 games against top 10 teams in the November tournaments, including Hero's Green, Eagle Stix, Crush, Coppermine, M&D Black and Aces. And they round those games out with Laxachusetts, Sky Walkers, and Jesters--all tough outs (apparently Sky Walkers looked great at the Play Day last week). A baptism by fire to be sure. They may only be legitimately favored to beat one team (M&D Red) on their Fall schedule.

Cue the naysayers. I will go with PP's recommendation to wait until after the summer before judging how any of these teams are doing.

Good luck to all and look forward to seeing friends and rivals out there on the sidelines.

Capital will be fine. Getting the tie against a tough Hero’s team was a tremendous confidence booster. Also, to be ranked in the top 10, you have to consistently play the top 10. Gone are the easy opponents from last year that some of these girls faced. This is what they signed up for.

Psst, when should we tell the Capital Blue parents that Hero’s was missing several of their best players?

They’ll say anything to avoid giving Cap Blue any modicum of respect. The stunned looks on the Hero’s parents’ faces after the tie said it all.

And they round those games out with Laxachusetts, Sky Walkers, and Jesters--all tough outs (apparently Sky Walkers looked great at the Play Day last week). A baptism by fire to be sure. They may only be legitimately favored to beat one team (M&D Red) on their Fall schedule.

Cue the naysayers. I will go with PP's recommendation to wait until after the summer before judging how any of these teams are doing.

Good luck to all and look forward to seeing friends and rivals out there on the sidelines.

Capital will be fine. Getting the tie against a tough Hero’s team was a tremendous confidence booster. Also, to be ranked in the top 10, you have to consistently play the top 10. Gone are the easy opponents from last year that some of these girls faced. This is what they signed up for.

Psst, when should we tell the Capital Blue parents that Hero’s was missing several of their best players?

They’ll say anything to avoid giving Cap Blue any modicum of respect. The stunned looks on the Hero’s parents’ faces after the tie said it all.

Beautiful troll post. Well done.
