[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]M&D 2033 Coach is telling everyone that certain coaches and players from higher ranked teams are coming. All false. Causing a stir on the team. No one knows what to believe. Or to stay or go. And what is he telling these new players? I’m not sure I believe in the M&D name anymore. [/quote]

It was stated that the Hoco 33 & 34 coaches/teams were looking to switch to M&D but they turned them down due to reputation of the coaches. How true that is who knows but the lacrosse world is small and word travels fast.[/quote]

I could see that. May mean defections coming instead.

2034 is an anomaly year. Period.

For the splitting talent commenter, Doubtful Hoco 2034 has a majority Howard County girls. Numbers could be few. 2035 & 2033 likely have way more. Hero’s will have the overwhelming majority but agree that some Hoco would push Hero’s down to White.

Throw into the mix—many M&D teams practice in Howard County. They have plenty of players from the county, as well as from Baltimore and Montgomery Counties. That’s left some extra Baltimore girls for the benefit of Coppermine and Predators and other clubs up there, at the young ages.

Stepping back, the focus on team performance at these ages is wasted mental energy. It can be inflated or not predictive of continued performance for many reasons. Results can be skewed. Take with a grain of salt (especially for NGLL Year 1). Why?

*The stars at age 9 often aren’t the stars later. 
*Team composition changes.  
*There are no divisions in NGLL Year 1 and schedules aren’t equitable. 
*New NGLL Year 1 teams are playing catch-up to teams who played together as teams the prior year. Coppermine, Hoco, Rebels, who else? MDU? Hero’s gets a little boost with their robust developmental program and “play up” model (allowing girls to get a year of NGLL experience and then come down and do it all again).

Let’s not anoint the next Chloe Humphreys or UNCs.[/quote]
