Maybe Indy?

Really? They were 7-11 last season, unranked, and lost to Potomac, Heights, St. James, St. Albans. Why the big jump?

really? I think that last year they got killed by Riverside by 15 goals and lost/fired their coach. For a Virginia 5A to be included alongside the likes of SJC, Prep and Landon they would need to do something pretty special. what is their best win?

Not likley! But the future is bright there and by the time the 2026 class graduates they will be a very good team. Especially, if Riverside doesn't reload or even Freedom SR. The Indy team has been playing together since 3rd grade.

Check your facts. They lost to Riverside by 11, and it was a lot closer then the score indicated. Also, that was last year. They have an insane '26 class that has gotten so much better since last season. I pretty sure beating Robinson (ranked 15th) this winter was a pretty good win for the Tigers.

Agree, I actually have Riverside 3rd in the Potomac District...1. Indy (so much talent) 2. Briar Woods (they will break through) 3. Riverside (lost too much). Should be interesting to see it play out, but I'm pretty confident with my prediction.



I just checked their roster from last year. Looks like they only lost one player. So now I’m confused on who else they lost.

Indy will struggle with Briar again this year. Sonnefeld and Carmichael should be one of the best duo’s in the state. Could honestly see Stonebridge give Indy trouble as well. Not enough to threaten an upset but enough to keep it too close for comfort.

Unless players transferred out of Riverside and no one knows it. Injuries are the only thing that can possible derail them from running away with the district again. This is a team that went 6-4 with Prep this fall. I don’t put much faith in off season results but if we’re going to throw out a meaningless fierce nation result as some sort of an accomplishment I guess it’s worth mentioning.

Indy will have their time but it will not be this year. Faceoffs and Coaching Will be the difference.

The player of the year in the state was a pretty big loss. Also some good midfielders especially on defense.

off season wins don't mean anything, and eleven goal games are not close. sorry.

And they also got crushed by Albans and PVI. Although my son plays at PVI and said they didn’t have the face-off kid the entire day and played young kids at the end. I think the FOGO might be hurt maybe that’s why everyone thinks they aren’t good?

They lost to Albans by 4. Not crushed. Playing Prep and PVI back to back was tough for a thin public school roster. PVI definatly played much better that day in the fall.

FOGO I hear will be back and ready to go for the season.

It will be tough to bet against a program like Riverside in the public school landscape... all this chatter is just building up for some great games this spring.

what's the highest ranked team that Indy has beaten in-season?

[Anonymous]

I do think Indy will be much improved this year but there is no chance MadLax put them in the top 10. They have never been ranked and haven't beaten anyone yet. My money is on Riverside.

I see it's Riverside at No. 9. A reach, IMO. I would have placed St. Stephen's over them. But there it is.

I agree SS will finish best in VA at all levels and win another VISAA title
