Crush doesn’t even have a high school program. Based on their performance during the summer after their 8th grade year, they were still placed in the top brackets of all the fall tournaments and will continue to do so.
So, M&D DC 29s, you will be fine if you stay together. You have proven you belong in the top brackets and you will stay there in the fall, and probably have the privilege of beating capital. And you have something crush doesn’t; the backing of a club with national recognition and benefits to having you succeed.
