I think the loser of this game wins the state. Revenge and focus to bounce back. It happened last year too. |
Region of doom but let’s not forget their other losses. |
I think the region of doom flops in states and a team wins title for first time in program history. |
A team that has lost one game doesn’t flop. The loss to Madison could have easily been a win. Madison doesn’t flop either. Battle tested hard nosed teams have the advantage. Can hate all you want. Let’s see who steps up and slays the dragon. |
Cville had too many turnovers. Cville goalie had another great game. She has gotten better throughout the season and is noticeably the Most Improved Player on the team! |
Agree with this post. Madison and Oakton have the best personnel from top to bottom. It shows. If you aren’t playing some tough teams the speed and physicality will expose programs quickly. |
It’s called good defense. 5 goals scored rarely wins the contest. Woulda shoulda coulda. The most improved player is a ridiculous comment as every team has one or several. Atta boy (girl) buttons are on order for ya. |
I’m confused. One Centerville post blamed the goalie for the Oakton loss, and another calls the goalie the most improved player. Which is it? |
They will not only not flop, they will beat battlefield by double digits. The state championship game is on Friday for all intents and purposes. |
Blame is not on the refs or 1 player. A loss is a team loss and a win is a team win. Most improved player? Not accurate |
Madison and Oakton’s schedule as a whole has prepared them for this. Both teams are ready and aren’t shaken when they encounter adversity. Both have been there and done that. And if other teams want to schedule SSSA and other privates then do it. Only makes you better and shows you exactly what you need to do to win. Both teams deserve to be where they are. Both great teams to watch. Again talk is cheap. Field of play matters. |
Double digits.. that’s a stretch. I think someone is a little upset they can’t hype up their team on this forum anymore because they couldn’t make it past regionals. |
Yup. Yorktown beat Battlefield last year in the State Final by double digits and I believe had a running clock by halftime. Their Regional game against Langley was the real final. This year it’s all about Region C and D. The State Final will be a charity event like usual. |
Battlefield is as good as oakton, Madison, Robinson, Woodson. Only real chances to win states come from here. I’d truly be shocked if state title wasn’t of this group. Not a bold prediction I understand. Game lines: Woodson -11 vs Justy Robinson - 4 vs West Springfield Oaken -6 vs Madison. Lessons learned. Centreville posters please go away. Your futile attempts to be relevant all year are pathetic. Infighting posters bashing teammates and coaches. Transparent posts pretending to be anonymous pumping your daughters “killing” it and “crushing it” with zero results to support your bias while posing as hero dad defending the unbiased and more accurate replies. Centreville season is nothing but a total fail. Not one good win despite your player awards including self awarded most improved. Pick a side for the final 8 and gain some reality for next year. Good luck btw |
I watched the last game. Running clock on the Freedom game for most of the 2nd half. Finished 19-11 with a player down while playing a girl down. Also the player missing I am fairly certain isn’t even a starter for them. They seem to like to let the bench play after a running clock. I think it will be a tough game for both teams. I hope they both do well and have a great game. |
