So if Black Ops is playing this weekend, what is happening to their various teams? Not playing?

I am not getting it. There is now another travel team of allstars to take away from the underlying clubs -- DCE, NL, VLC? Or do the best players play for Black Ops and and not their teams.

This whole scene is getting more and more BS by the moment.

Blacks Ops 13U has alot of talent; their biggest issue will be lack of preparation and time to gel as a team. If they can get in the WSYL they will make some noise.

Definitely playing - check tourney machine (VLC - BlackOps)

Yes they are playing this weekend. I hope they win the upset.

Seventh grade lacrosse in the DMV has a hard core class of parents and the World Series thing is a new frontier. So get used to it.

Is 32 pages enough for 2 teams that have yet to even play?

Anybody whose son is on the team knows the roster and schedule. I find these questions from people not on the team somewhat puzzling. Why do you need to know?

Is Black Ops playing this weekend?

Black Ops roster posted?

I think that the owner's sons are 2028 and 2024, which means three teams are sandwiched between them. Two of those teams (25 and 27) are among the stronger teams in the program. The owner is a good businessman and I don't think he would write off all the classes where he does not have a son.

I find it funny that MadLax Derangement Sydrome causes people to roll out some fairly silly theories.

Why does the moderator keep deleting posts.

The problem with Madlax’s 2025 Capital team is that they have at lease two kids that live in different states (both too old to play in the WSYL anyway). I think they have a few local kids that are comparable to the top kids in Maryland.

I actually think it is very relevant to WSYL and Black Ops and Monument teams as they are finally tested in a age based event as local clubs did not participate in the past. It is interesting that Mad lax does not think it regular Capital teams would be competitive by themselves and the others need to combine. The HS part of the conversation just supports what is already known the DC area can compete on a national level and on paper should do well at WSYL
