Sounds like Riverside is good in boys lax, but 5A.

Can you explain to me what the difference between 5a and 6a is?

Size of the school. 6A is generally 2000+ students

Yes, I know that. Just wanted to unformed to say that 6 is better then 5 or 4 (because its s higher number). The only thing it designates is the size of the school, and many times that is not even accurate as team file "protests" to stay up/down all the time- happened a bunch this year!

Again, I will say as I said before on this thread. Class 4 Atlee was the best 2023 team in VA Public HS lacrosse, regardless of Class. And no I am from NOVA, so its not like I like them. Note- I said VHSL PUBLIC HS team in VA (for the guy that wanted to argue PVI last time)

Atlee smoked Dominion in the 4a final last year and had an easy time with Riverside during the regular season and has almost everyone back so agree they are the best boys public hs lax program in VA.

Guys. We’ve lost focus. Let’s get back to loudon county girls rec. how we looking Dulles south?

Dulles South needs to fold, stick a fork in them!

Dulles South has produced more college players than just about any club out there

The key word here is "has". I am afraid the future for Dulles South Lacrosse is going to drop... I am saying this from having a kid go through the Dulles South Rec

Seems like there is room for Dulles South to stay strong. Several Pride Red 2027s and VA Metro on their 7/8 Rec team who won the championship last year. Clubs seem supportive of girls continuing to play with their rec teams. Why can't that continue?
Where it gets challenging is if girls also play for their private schools--3 teams is a bit much.

I believe we would have to settle that on the field. Atlee vs Madison would be interesting.

In general, the larger schools have the best teams, especially when you are looking at field sports. Does anyone really believe that a 4A or 5A football team could have beaten Freedom (Woodbridge) last year...?

What about for girls lacrosse? Any 4 or 5A teams better than Oakton was? Probably not. In any case, when is a Loudon Co girls lacrosse team going to compete at the state championship level?

If the girls lax dad’s could quit hijacking every post it would be nice. I posted about DS and have no clue about the girls side this thread has become really hard to follow. Was any of the comments prior related to boys or girls? FYI pride seems crazy to have a coach arrested? And I thought some boys clubs were crazy.

Stone Bridge played Freedom the closest last year (a 5A team).

Western Albermarle beat Dominion in the 4A state finals (the same Dominion team that smoked Riverside and Independence during the regular season). They could beat Oakton.

Now #13 and 1 are Srs and should help carry a younger squad.

If they can hold off BW this year, they should repeat again.

Going forward into 25, you will see BW/ Indy catch and/or pass them.

Even with Riversides current Sophomore class? They had 4 freshmen starters last year, who does BW/Indy have in that class better then those kids that are going to beat them in 25?

I'll weigh in here. Don't want to speak for BWHS but I can to IHS. Would like to know your idea of what a starter is too, but I will go with mine- includes boys that either "start" the game or the first off the bench in terms of getting an LSM or SSDM off and a Off. Mid in game.

By my count at IHS when the 2025s are seniors and 2026 juniors. 16 boys who started/first-on varsity since freshman year.
An even breakdown of nine 2025's and seven 2026's who have played varsity since they were frosh and as starters/ first-in with significant minutes. These boys are spread evenly between G, Pole, Mid, FoGo, SSDM, LSM and Atk. There looks to be a handful of 2027's that will be varsity this year too gaining valuable experience too.

While a core of four boys starting at RVHS is impressive, IHS will have 4X that amount by spring 2025.

New HCs at Indy and BW so let's see how that plays out (Riverside has a huge edge there from a consistency/culture perspective)

This thread, which does not belong to you, is now about girls lacrosse. Sorry about that. Probably best to start a new thread.

Yes, very true and I’ll not argue that point at all. RVHS has the edge in coaching, by a long shot, at this point. The only thing I will say is most of the IHS players have been playing together for years, really 2/3 of their young lives. So there is internal chemistry with the boys.
The good news is that there should be 3 very strong Class 5 teams in LoCo in the near future and some good matchups to watch.

Thanks for engaging. I have to challenge though. You are saying a 4A team that I've never heard of, was better than the 6A state champ with multiple top 20 D1 recruits? A team that beat Saint Stephens St Agnes and only lost to Madison all year (twice). That seems unlikely.

And Stone Bridge plays good football for sure. And they still couldn't beat the 6A champ (or last year's 6A runner up a few weeks ago).

2025 LoCo boys commits so far?

Saw that there was a BWHS -> VMI on Instagram.

Any additional at this point?

Lolol! Because they have the largest footprint. So you have any awareness of how many schools feed into the DS program? Have you any awareness of how much development has gone on in that area over the last decade? The program isn’t exactly great, they just have huge numbers. NVYL needs to break them in two or split some schools into Chantilly and Ashburn.

Dulles South has been the fastest growing rec league in the area by far. They have taught and coached thousands boys and girls the game one of them my DS since 3rd grade who is now playing in HS and loves the game. The amount of hours these parents give to the program is countless. It is one of the best run rec leagues and for boys and girls in the Dulles South area. Do they have issues of course they do. Do they have politics yes they do. But in the end it has been a very positive experience and at some point boys and girls need to move on from rec and end up in clubs all across the area. I know other rec leagues in the NVYLL outside of Vienna many are just holding on which is hard and agree that club has really made an impact on the survival of rec leagues. So, Thank YOU to all Dulles South volunteers for continuing to grow the game and teaching it to my DS.

Wow! It is just a rec team... I agree that many of the Loudoun High Schools are working with what they have and a good amount of better players in the area roll the dice and try to be a starter at PVI. But, I do know some of the HS Lacrosse coaches that are great people and are trying their best to make something work.

Everybody with Dulles South thinks they can roll into PVI and play. Too many kids think that! Plenty of Public Schools in the county that have great coaches if the kids would give it a chance (Riverside, Champe, Indy, Freedom).
