| Did anyone here see the YT/Cosby game and have a report? |
PVI was begging for him |
Someone wrote up a report on the previous page I believe. |
Sure they were, goalie dad. |
| Interesting story, my kid is not good at lacrosse and PVI was begging for him too. Pretty sure it was the lacrosse coach. Weird right? |
| Curious, who is the biggest X factor from the state contending teams? |
Another goalie parent here and we also heard from them as well as one of the other Catholic schools and one of the MD privates so I believe the better teams are always thinking about goalie depth and may have been in touch, but parents are kidding themselves if they think their special boy the only one or reading too much into it. |
X Factors, but not the ones your looking for, I suspect: 1. Indy - Can they stay disciplined the whole season? 2. Madison - Is "good enough", enough to be special? 3. Robo - Can they score against a good team? 4. YT - One trick pony in #3, can anyone else step up? 5. Battlefield - See Madison 6. Cosby - Are they ready for primetime or just the bully of the south? HM- Langley - Did "the choke" happen starting in week 1 or are they going to gag in the playoffs again? |
| I do think defense wins championships. 1,2,3 seem to have the defense units that could get it done. As we get closer to June, games will be closer and probably the first team to 10 wins games. Robinson defense looks pretty good but so does Indy and Madison. Goalie play might be the X factor. |
| Urbana vs. Riverside will be a great matchup today. Two of DMVs top Publics. |
|
oooh, that will be a good game to track.

Because "LaxNumbers sucks", it's current top 6 ratings: 1) Independence (87.21) 2) Robinson (86.85) 3) Cosby (86.48) 4) Battlefield (85.51) 5) Madison (85.42) 6) Yorktown (83.2) Same top 6, slightly different order, you can see the clustering of 4/5/6. Robinson's schedule rating (82.6) and Madison's (82.42) are tops of the best 6. Lowest are Cosby (76.88) which makes sense geographically, Independence (78.34), and Battlefield (79.64). |
Good goalie? Yes. Underwhelming performance in some games? Also yes. No need to toot your own horn #3(langley) |
Other decent 6a matchups (based on records): Westfield 4-4 at Chantilly 6-3 Battlefield 6-2 at Patriot 6-4 Mclean 4-5 at 4-2 Herndon Centreville 4-3 at Oakton 4-3 There is no "someone has to win" game today, but 0-4 Justice plays 1-3 Mount Vernon and that's a great chance for them to get a win. |

Predictions:
Battlefield 16, Patriot 5 Chantilly 13, Westfield 10 McLean 9, Herndon 7 Oakton 12, Centreville 6 |
