This algorithm is garbage. Madison beat Robinson and Centreville. And Champe?

I assume the only reason Battlefield is so high is their glide path to the final, otherwise it makes zero sense. Battlefield’s poor SOS should have them no better than 4th most likely to win it. Agree that Oakton should be the favorite at this point, very strong SOS and undefeated. If only one per region went to states, I could see Concorde’s relative strength decreasing the odds for any team moving on from the region, but two teams come out of each region.

I think you are spot on here.

1) Centreville should dominate the draws (#22, #8, #2) against either team as they did earlier in the season against Yorktown. Strong trio of players and 3rd best draw team in Concorde district.

2) Centreville has the 5th best offense (GPG in District play) in the Concorde just behind Westfield HS at 4th. But Liberty champion will have a hard time stopping #22 who had at least 6 goals against Yorktown in the first meeting.

Yorktown or Langley will have to limit above to keep the game close.

Cville what happened in your game in Battlefield, Robinson, Oakton, Madison, and South Lakes? It is clear Liberty District teams aren’t full strength this 2023 season compared to Concord. But if it makes you feel better bragging about beating a Yorktown team that is 8-8 this season sounds like you have low standards. Don’t underestimate Langley. They are undefeated in the Liberty District and have some talented players on that team. 2 D1 commits and some talented sophomores. This is the one team people overlooked this season and wouldn’t be surprised if they made it to Region final.

When time are the district finals for the Concorde and Liberty on Tuesday?

Assuming they are hosted at Langley and Oakton.

Everyone should realize that there are only 6 teams in the Concorde. Yea, the 6 teams range from very good to okay, and there aren't bottom dwellers like some districts, but the above post says Centreville was next to last in district scoring despite having 3 D1 players and was middle of the pack in draws. So it's a matter of how you look at things....

The Oakton vs Madison game is a 7:00 start at Oakton.

I 100% agree Langley is dangerous

Great Falls wannabe, please put down your Bubble tea and take a breath from stuffing your face with your Chopt salad.

What happened to Madison last year? The most talented team last year Choked. Before asking what happened, look in the mirror.

As for Cville's season, the bulk of their season was injury prone. here's a few facts:

Battlefield game: Cville was winning at Half time but Battlefield took out 22 on an 8m, knocking her out for the 2nd half. Add that to Cville already missing 1 of their other starting Middies. For good measure, Battlefield took a ridiculous dangerous shot and took out a Starting Defender and another starting Defender got hurt in the Flint Hill game right before.

Robinson game: Same starters as above missed the Robinson game, but Cville still kept it within 1-2 goals until the very end.

Oakton: Best team in the state, both close games but Oakton is rolling right now.

As for Langley, they have had a good season. However, let's get the truth out there:

Going "undefeated" in the down year of the Liberty district doesn't mean they are on the same level as Oakton. Langley held on to beat Westfield at the end to win by 2. Cville put a running clock on a talented Westfield team in both games. Cville had running clock on wins against Mclean and Herndon, beat a young and talented Yorktown and beat W&L in a scrimmage easily. Care to re-evaluate how the Liberty matches up with the Concorde?

Have to agree with the Centerville pp here. With the caveat that a goalie having a great game can be the great equalizer, any Liberty district team this season will have to play their absolute best to keep from getting blown out by any of the top four Concorde teams.

Injuries happen. Again, no one goes into a game wanting to hurt anyone. From what I heard, 22 fell on her own and wasn’t touched. The shot was dangerous, yes. And she served her card. If a team only can rely on 3 people then they don’t have a solid team.

And I will say.. Centreville’s 22 and 8 could take them far. They are two great players. I could see Centreville making a comeback

Cville 22 & 8 is the team. Take them out of equation not much to compete against Madison & Oakton.

You heard wrong and not the first time on those dangerous shots.

Based on your logic, Oakton would have no issues if say 11, 4 and 17 or 8 were all out? lol, ok there.

Actually, I was there. And this poster is correct. She was not touched.

And I have to video to show that on the dangerous shot, the girl slid into the shot as the shooter was releasing the ball. First time the shooter has ever been called for a dangerous shot. Like any sport, things happen.
