The same dads that taught their offense to the 2023 Pride team that was typically ranked anywhere from 5-15 in the country. The guys who have a highly technical understanding of the women's game and know how to teach both the intricacies of individual play and team concepts. Their record speaks for itself and is unmatched by any commentators on this board.

US Club Lax ranked Pride 23s #17 in 2021 and #24 in 2022.

No one cares. This is for 6A, go back to the private school thread where you all argue about those overrated teams.

Again, no one cares about US club lax as that has no bearing on high school glax, since the HS teams are made up of so many other players from all different lax backgrounds. Everyone keeps saying Oakton is the team to beat, not a believer. They are overrated and their head coach doesn't really understand the game and how to actually coach and make adjustments. His ignorance will be their downfall. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say their will be some very disappointed teams that think they are the favorite by other programs that are going to pull some upsets.

I agree with you on Oakton. Their season will ride on how far their Rhode Island commit can take them. Their JMU commit does not play a disciplined game and if the refs are calling good games she will rack up offensive fouls and yellows all season. I do see Oakton being in the mix though in 6A, which seems to be average across the board this year. It sounds like Yorktown will be missing at least two of their better players this season, so I think they will come back to the pack. Battlefield has an easier road to states, but their players will carry the weight of being the hunted this year. With traditional 6A programs they have scheduled having down years Battlefield will be expected to win those games. It will be interesting to see how the team handles situations where they will gain little recognition for the wins and a lot of criticism for any losses. I do not see a clear cut favorite in 6A right now, but maybe one will start to emerge by early April.

Agreed with pp. I see several teams that are evenly matched with one or two standouts per team. Guess we will wait and see what happens

US Club lax reference was made to correct earlier statement (obvi by PVI coaching staff) in this thread that Pride 23s ranked between #5 and #15.

Some crazy and clueless parents out there. Oakton's best player is the JMU commit. The Rhode island player is good but not elite.

Battlefield talk needs to stop until they beat someone outside of their weak region.

Agree with a previous post that all this hype about oakton, but infact they are overrated, so I agree with that. Bottom line is, the talent level in public school has dropped tremendously in the past couple years and that affects what coaches inherit. So when someone says oakton or yorktown is superior, that’s for this year. No way that anyone of these teams can hang with the power teams of the past.
I believe whoever is going to go far is due to coaching. Cville and yorktown probably have the best coaching minds out there while agreed with pp that oakton ahead coach should just go away and let his 2 assistants who are smarter run with it.
Should be a fun exciting season where it’s a toss up on who wins

Not sure what you mean about "Metro" as my daughter doesnt play club, just plays for her HS team. My point was that if you didn't play for Pride at PVI, you are on the outskirts and looked down upon.
