Mad Dog Wins 2028 Naptown Title in Battle Against BBL National

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Naptown National Challenge continues to prove itself as the gold standard of the summer club lacrosse circuit, and the 2028 championship game was another reminder of why. With ESPN+ coverage, elite talent across the board, and a high-stakes atmosphere at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium, the 2028 final delivered a fast-paced, physical battle between two top-tier teams: Mad Dog National Black and BBL National.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mad Dog National Black came into the tournament with one of the best resumes in the country. Being ranked number three in the country, they are known for their depth, discipline, and well-balanced offense. They entered the championship on Wednesday with something to prove, and they backed it up. Mad Dog rolled through pool play and bracket play, relying on their depth at midfield and strong defensive core to dominate possession and wear teams down. Their semifinal win set the tone heading into the championship, where they faced off against a battle-tested BBL squad.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>BBL National earned its spot in the title game with an impressive run of its own. Ranked No. 8 in the nation, the New Jersey-based team knocked off several top programs in bracket play, proving their toughness and resilience. With strong goalie play, disciplined defense, and a high-IQ offense, BBL arrived in Annapolis as a legitimate contender, and it played like one throughout the tournament.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The championship matchup between Mad Dog Black and BBL was tight early. Both teams traded goals in the first quarter, with physical defensive play and faceoff battles defining the pace of the game. BBL found some early success through settled possessions, but Mad Dog's ability to push in transition and capitalize on short bursts gave them a slight edge heading into halftime.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In the second half, Mad Dog began to take control. Their ride disrupted BBL's clears, and their ball movement on offense created open looks for their shooters. Midway through the fourth, Mad Dog extended the lead to 8-5, and from there, they never looked back. A final goal late sealed the win, and Mad Dog National Black walked away with a 9–6 victory and the 2028 Naptown title.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The win reinforced Mad Dog's standing as one of the top programs in the country. Their ability to develop talent across multiple age groups and consistently compete in the championship is a reflection of their system, coaching, and overall depth. For the 2028 group, this game marks another important step in a pivotal summer ahead of next year's recruiting season. This is the summer where teams aim to win tournaments and reach championship games to position themselves and their players at the top of college coaches' watchlists heading into the crucial recruiting period. The more championship games they reach and win, the more their program and that team specifically builds a reputation as one that consistently develops high-level talent. By next summer, college coaches will be locked in on the top-performing teams, who are known for having skilled, competitive players, and will make it a priority to attend their games.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>On the other side, BBL proved they belong in the national conversation. Their performance throughout the tournament showed they can go toe-to-toe with the best, and their strong showing in Annapolis will serve as a launching pad as they head into the recruiting summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2028 final capped off another unforgettable year at Naptown, one defined by high-level competition, national exposure, and statement performances. For Mad Dog National Black, it wasn't just a championship win; it was a message that they're one of the top teams to watch heading into a crucial recruiting year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Owen Higgins","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2028","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'7u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"143","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Mountain Lakes High School","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"Building Blocks Lacrosse","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-687073cdded1d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Owen Higgins had a major impact in the 2028 Naptown National Championship, notching two goals from the midfield and giving BBL a needed offensive spark.

Plus, he lifted the energy of his team, showing his ability to rise to the moment.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"William Van Der Bosch","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2028","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"142","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Regis Jesuit High School","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"Mad Dog National","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-687073cddf798"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">William Van Der Bosch contributed a key goal in the title game with a calm, confident finish.

After scoring a goal, to seal the championship win for his team, he took a massive late hit and bounced right back up. A testament to the gritty, blue-chip players that Culver Academy produces. The 6'2 attackmen plays with energy, an edge, and a fearless mindset, attacking the cage with purpose and never shying away from contact.
