The 28 DC AA team isn’t any better. 1-3 and out of the playoffs.
The difference was that AS was supposed to be made up of the top players from DC (Capital Blue). No one expected anything from AA. Maryland sent most of their top players to AA and they are 4-0 . Capital blue needs a reality check.
Capital Blue parents need a reality check. AA is the better event and has been for years.

I have been following both teams to see which team is better
Both had one win. That’s great. They both must be terrible. until you look at the numbers. AS losses were by 7, 7, and 3
Then when you look at AA. They also had three losses which were by 1, 8, and 1.
So, if I had to say which team did better, I would have to go with AA as they very easily have gone 3-1 where AS doesn’t look like they were in any of their games
But again, I was not at either tournament, just looking at the numbers
Somewhat surprising as AS was made up of primarily Capital players who played together all season while AA was a mix of random MD/Dc girls many of whom are on lower ranked teams (aside from Heros second tier girls that didn’t make MD AA)
I think the big difference is other states (outside of MD) send their best players to AS so the competition there is tougher. DC AA team would lose to DC AS team.

DC AA made up of a lot of MD players that couldn’t make MD AA or AS
28 Class is notoriously weak in the DC area - overall DC/VA AA teams performed head and shoulders above the AS teams of all ages.

Too many of the AS teams are mainly just a single club team with a few others.

Maybe people shouldn’t waste their time and money on AS. The DC/VA teams haven’t performed well for years. Who thinks that a 0-4 performance in front of college coaches is a great look??
