2023 6A boys lax outlook

[Anonymous]

Following VEL results for a sneak preview of upcoming Virginia 6A season. Madison, Langley and Yorktown are the teams to watch. Thought Madison was the top seed coming in the season but interesting to see that Langley beat them by 1 goal today.

It’s VEL. Lotsa players are doing other sports. Teams are trying new/younger players. The only team I see as making a claim is LB. Should be an interesting spring.

Every year people post don’t pay attention to fall lacrosse and every year fall is a good prediction of Spring results. Even Yorktown dad would agree with this. I think Lake Braddock will be a contender.

Lake Braddock will definitely be in the mix with 3 kids going to play high level D1. The key will be if they can develop the depth to compete with Robinson, Madison, Yorktown, and Langley. Those teams regularly have the depth that other NOVA teams don't. Out west, Riverside is a factory, not as sure about the PW teams, but expect the usual suspects.

Battlefield is the top PW team Patriot will not be as close to them this season. Independence is becoming the new lax factory in Loudoun.

Riversides factory maybe down for a year. But should be back in 24

Not sure if Robinson will be as good as they were, FOGO went to Madison and their top guys were seniors last year

May be a down year for Robo and also looks like Patriot may be a bit down with loss of the Rutgers A from last year. Way too early rankings:
1. Madison-Addition of D1 Fogo and still keep the crown until proven otherwise.
2. Battlefield-They will improve with strong senior class and probably top goalie in NOVA
3. Lake Braddock-The three D1 commits will find a way to reach the next level.
4. Robinson-will always stay in the top five
5. Langley-good players keep them alive Yorktown may be a 5(b) with Oakton a 5(c)

there could be other teams and VEL does seem to indicate some Spring success.

Really? They are playing in a B division in the VEL league and are so far 1-1. This sounds like the same Dulles South crowd that confuses rec league dominance with actual lacrosse.

Independence isn't class 6 and can't hang with the big boys. They are Class 5. Have fun continuing to be owned by Riverside.

Wait and see Independence has the best freshman class in all of N.VA and will be a contender in future seasons. Best team in the state is not always 6A

Maybe they will be bad+ss in 25 or 26, but this is a 2023 forum.
