2025 Black (1-4-1) did not advance to semi
2026 Black (1-1-1) then lost 3:11 to Team Carolina in semi
2027 Black (2-0-1) then lost 1:9 to Charleston Elite in the final (AA bracket)
2028 Black (3-0-0) then beat FCA Richmond 8:2 to win the final (B bracket)
2029 Black (2-1-0) then last to True NC 704 5:9 in semi (A Bracket)
2030 Black (2-1-0) then lost to Team 91 Charlotte 2031 3:7 in semi

I'm confused. Collectively, the teams went 11-7 and exclude the 25 team went 10-3 losing games in the semis to good teams (or the winning B bracket). Team Carolina is ranked 53, Charleston Elite is 83, True NC 704 was a regional team so no ranking but a mix of kids from True Premier/LKN that are ranked 40 and 57, respectfully - so a good team. Team 91 Charlotte Blue (no ranking) could be considered bad.

I guess but I'm assuming this poster is a VLC backer...what exactly did they do this weekend. 29 team won the B division playing no one. Not sure what any other VLC team did because I don't have the inclination to look them up.

Could have been better but could certainly been worse.

Not a good showing for Team VA as well. Other than the 2024 team. I think as far as N.va teams I would go Blackwolf, VLC, Top Caliber, True, Team VA. Madlax is more of a DMV team as they do get a lot of MOCO kids.

True's performance and number of teams are pretty consistent. Usually AA for the Black team and A for the Green team. Most 2025-2030 all have 2 teams.
TC and Team VA/Hammers are having trouble fielding teams at the younger age groups, maybe 1 team every 2 years now. It has to do with True and new teams like STJ.
VLC's 2025-2027 HS teams are OK. 2028 doesn't have a team and the younger ones are to be seen.
Madlax is a DMV team. The owner's kids go to Landon and don't even live in NOVA.

I am also curious with Blackwolf. The old days some goods kids would skip good VLC and TC teams to go to Blackwolf in HS.

I think a couple kids from PVI that graduated last year went through Blackwolf and put some of their kids into some good college programs.

Is Blackwolf doing anything for 2027 or 2028? I have not heard about that team for awhile.

It’s better run than Top Caliber and it has better coaches than VLC.

I thought VLC and PVI always had a ton of top level recruits. Am I missing something?

Times have changed for VLC...
