Albion SC (East County specifically)

All the 2012 teams scrimmaged before the Albion Showcase. The EC EA2 team performed VERY well in those scrimmages compared to the other 2 lower teams.
I believe the current iteration of EC EA2 is a mix of players that stuck around Albion after Jason and Mike left for City and took a mix of EA2 and flight 1 players with them.

The EA2 team is heads and shoulders above all 3 Academy teams Albion fields at that age group. They also won head-to-head against the EA squad, but that squad was previously playing EA2 and was rebadged as EA when MM brought his EC crew to Albion and was given the EA2 slot. Honestly, the "correct" thing for Albion to do is to send their B12 EA team back to EA2 and assemble an EA squad out of the remnants of the EC EA2 roster and the MLSN kids that get pushed down after moving some of the truly excellent EC players onto those rosters.

But we all know parents will just go packing if their kids are "sent down" a level, so that would never happen.

I think the likely scenario is to move a couple players around to finish Spring Season (if they stay) and then re-boot the AD, EA & EA2 teams with the age matrix change.
