Nice try to spin it, but STAB played the same teams at the eventual champ SPSG in their division and lost to the eventual runner-up in the tournament. They did what they should have done with what was before them, as compared to the other area teams. Since this is a DMV forum, I will give you that they aren't really DMV any more than the Baltimore teams, so not sure you can count them for the area best, and they don't have the same schedule as the locals for the Spring.

STAB played great with the hand they were dealt but let's bring some perspective:
- They didn't have to play SPSG
- They were in the weakest bracket. STAB's competition was a combined 2-7 with the PA team having the greatest (negative) goal differential.
- They lucked out by being in the largest bracket which was the only one that took the 1st & 2nd place finishers.

Teams can't really control who they play aside from the one on the other side of the draw. STAB did well. They will win VISAA this year without question. SSSAS will probably lose to PVI or BI.

Joe Namath makes a bold prediction.

Goal differential in Indoor Champs would suggest that Visi and SR are the teams to watch as most of their games were close. Visi and Saints both played more ranked teams than SR or STAB. Reality is, until they all have tryouts and play full field, it's all speculative.

Visi doesn’t have enough good players for a full field game. The dad coaches didn’t sub. Visi will not be a team to beat this year.

PVI? Are you high? PVI has no good juniors or seniors. And no history of winning. PVI sucks. What are you talking about?

Agree on PVI, but does any one see SSSAS holding its own with a national schedule?

Visi wont have the talent they typically do (due in large part to 4 years of KM who families/players wanted to avoid), but they still have fair amount of talent. SR is likely the team to beat this year, but they are replacing several good players as well, so it will be an interesting year.

Visi only has 3 committs combined in their junior and senior classes. They barely have enough good players for a first string.

SR is team to beat for sure.

Visi’s new coach and parents are trying to lower expectations. They have a good nucleus and some talented sophomores and freshmen. SSSAS is always very well coached. SR is good but also lost some good players to graduation. It sounds like GC has a bunch of recruits. Should be an interesting year.

Really? I heard all the talented freshman went to other schools because they didn’t want to play for the then-coach KM. Even some legacy/sibling lax players decided against attending Visi because they didn’t want to play for KM. Visi’s freshman class is weak, weak, weak - just like it’s senior and junior classes. Soph class may it for Visi lax-wise right now.
