#8 for Langley lived on garbage goals against weaker opponents and looks much better in a box score than on film.
No doubt Langley will miss his numbers, but let's not pretend he was good enough to carry the Saxs to a ship.
Our coach designing the system around a player or two every year has to stop. We have too much talent to call a season a loss before the first game is played. Ffs!!

What's valid is the programs who lack a "next teammate up culture" are less resilient. Indy lost 2 significant contributors in the offseason and won't miss a beat.
Injuries are a weak excuse.

The Independence growth and success has been being worked on for years and carefully curated by coaches who have dedicated countless hours on developing talent and a love for the game for over a decade.

Starting in the youth ranks these coaches brought together a group of families that have stuck through things in thick and thin and the results speak for themselves.

The main objective was for the boys to have fun and develop a passion. High school success and college recruiting was secondary but as a result these guys are really talented, being recruited and committed and these families will be life long friends as a result.

No other program in the area has taken this much time and dedication and it shows on the field. I think they'll be around for awhile and rest of area could learn a thing or two about multi year commitments to development. This is why Long Island/New England and Baltimore are "better"

Especially "developing" unsportsmanlike slashing behind the play and cheap shots across the field - especially when they're losing. That kind of leadership from the top can't be bought.

Perhaps your son should just be better at lacrosse and be the "next man up" player?

Lake Braddock vs Chantilly
Herndon vs South Lakes
Oakton vs McLean
Westfield vs South County
Briar Woods vs Loudon County
Madison vs Langley
West Potomac vs WnL
Yorktown vs Robinson

Predictions?

Tilly-6
Herndon-10
Oakton-5
Westfield -2
Briar -5
Madison -1
West Po -7
Yorktown-2

What’s the thought process on Yorktown being favored?

Yorktown has quietly returned almost their entire team from last year. Robo has seemed to struggle a bit in scrimmages, I think Yorktown overcomes the special teams advantages. I also believe(just an opinion) that Randles is the best player in publics this year, don’t know if Robo has a good way to stop him.

Here comes the annual “injuries aren’t an excuse” idiot. Of course they are! Talent is at a premium in VA publics, and if you lose one of your best couple players, it has a MASSIVE impact. You think West Po wins states if one of their best guys goes down??? As a matter of fact, if any team in ANY sport loses their best player, they get worse. Don’t know how that is hard to understand. You clearly have a 3rd grade level understanding of the sport and sports in general, maybe learn.

Well, you are both wrong.

Yes, Injury to a top player can and does have an impact, no doubt.
BUT, if you rely on one player that much, you don't have much of a "team".

Nobody is saying that teams should rely too much on one player. You’re arguing with a wall there. The argument is that injuries ARE a reasonable excuse for a drop off in performance, because that seems rather obvious.
