Anyone know why BP quit WS on the day of tryouts? Been discussed already on this thread. Health issues |
WS was a dirty team in a physical game that the refs did a poor job both ways of calling. They were cross checking and swinging sticks all night. I'm glad our girls came out okay. Their coach was high fiving and fist bumping girls for hard checks and yelling for them to attack our girls with the ball. It was clear they were outclassed, as they didn't have the speed to win draws out on the circle, couldn't score after halftime, and their goalie had only like 2 saves after the 1st quarter and was overmatched, hopping over low shots and dropping down on high shots like she was trying not to get hit. YT was up double digits in the 4th and Coach T had the bench in just trying to run it out and the WS coach still had her starters in cross checking and chasing our girls around. YOU'RE NOT GOING TO WIN THE GAME AT THAT POINT. We felt bad for the girls on their bench that never got in cause they have such a nasty coach. It's Public HS lacrosse for chrissake. Not sure what she was trying to prove, but it is clear she is taking that program down the toilet with her approach. It's sad cause they used to be a credible program under BP. high school lax needs a mercy rule like in field hockey. Maybe 15 goal differential? Or crazy as it sounds - limit the number of goals any one player can score. Too many POY-wannabes racking up stats, and we wonder why the game is shrinking. I read some girl last year scored 12 goals in one game against weak opponent. Her daddy must have been proud, so I assumed the burden of being embarrassed for them, their HC, AD, and their school. |
What games are on this weekend and next week?
Are there any VA publics playing in Spring Break tournaments? Does SSSA host their Spring Fling tomorrow? Are any NOVA Public schools playing in it? |

There is no way you are a current YT mom. If you live in Arlington and your daughter either used to or does attend YT - you are grinding a very large axe. |

Big games for Langley. |
Langley won’t win a game |
Looks like both Oakton and Madison have games next week?
Madison takes on STAB in what will be a tough test for them. Oakton looks to head to SC in what should be a winnable game if the beach doesn't get in the way. |
New Spring Break Edition Class 6 Top Ten:
1) Yorktown (7-0) 2) Madison (5-0) 3) Battlefield (6-1) 4) Oakton (6-3) 5) South Lakes (9-1) 6) Langley (4-3) 7) Westfield (7-1) 8) Robinson (3-5) 9) Chantilly (6-2) 10) Cosby (2-3) Others on the edge: TJST, West Potomac, Justice |
Battlefield needs to get invited to the St Stephen’s Spring Play date in the next couple of years. That will be a great measure for how good they really will be. Also should work harder to schedule the good private schools for out of conference games. |
Would love to see a series between Battlfield and STAB or Western Ablemarle to see who is the best out west… |
Where is Woodson? |
