regarding Riverside - Lightridge ( I guess these games matter to some) - This is a ridiculous statement...It's the best two teams possibly in the state in 5A. Of course it matters. Why does Westfield - Langley matter or Oakton - Bullis matter and this doesn't |

I think you just answered your own question. If I had to take a wild guess, it’s because they are class 5 and not class 6. Good luck. |

Got it...So D5 doesn't matter in your eyes. Go create a D6 only board with your bias. This is a VHSL board. Lightridge could beat every team in D6 outside of Yorktown and Battlefield. I think they beat Westfield 25-2 in a fall game. They beat Langley and Madison so far. But it's D5 so who cares. Riverside and Lightridge will probably play 4 times again this year (as they did last year). This matchup will determine Regular season and then District Title, Region Title and State tourney. But that doesn't matter. Just Madison Robinson and Westfield Langley games matter because they are D6 (but would all lose to Lightridge) |

I promise you I'm the furthest thing from a snowflake. Tired of your dumb bias |

If she’s that good why would she commit to ASU? You would think she would use that lax talent to get into a much better school. |

Please do keep us posted on where your subpar, less than athletic, entitled daughter ends up going, and how many years she rides the bench before she quits. |

ASU will not be on any top recruits list, but they are a solid mid-tier D1 program that historically finishes between 40-80 in the rankings. They sit at 41 now. Good program, not great. Probably will not make the NCAA tourney any time soon. Academically they are ranked 121. The positive, you get to play in warm weather. |

Is the YT soccer recruit playing lax this season? Haven’t been keeping track. |

Having had several daughters play over a span of years, I have to agree the numbers are down. You don’t have to look any further than rec lacrosse to understand it’s not the same. When my first daughter played there were 3-5 teams in each age group. And making the A team was a big deal. You really had to be a strong player to make this team. Now, our rec program is lucky to field 1 team in each age bracket. None in the A division. Everyone makes the team, which hurts the players mixing such wide skill sets. From our experience, the numbers and talent have fallen way off. It’s sad to see at the youth level because this feeds future high school and college programs. This is impacting high school teams and games. My first who played had players cut from JV. It was hard to make varsity. There were 4 teams in her district that could compete on any given night and win. Today, districts have 1, maybe two teams, that are competitive with one another. Go to many games and players on the field struggle with the basics of passing and catching. Teams now can barely fill a varsity roster, often filling them with athletes who have not played the sport. There are fewer JV teams and some JV games are 7v7. I wish I could say club has filled the void, but the reality is local high school club teams are not competing at the same level as in the past. The high water mark for local high school club teams may have been the 2023 class when both Capital Blue and Pride Black were ranked in the top 10 at one point. Those two teams alone probably sent 30+ players to D1 programs from that class. US Lacrosse may have stats on the games growth, but locally in Northern VA the numbers have been down from our personal experience. And with it the talent as well. |

Survey: If BF actually ever wins a state title (I know it’s a big IF but one can dream) do you think their parents who post here will:
(a) Show some humility and stop their incessant posting about how great they think their team is because results speak for themselves. (b) increase the frequency of their posting (if that’s even possible) and gloat for a year bringing their obnoxious posting to an entirely new level (c) post about the same as before (d) other - state what you think will happen |

Actually riding the bench is a common scenario for star recruits their first year or two at the high end of the D1 scale. |
