| Forgot to add LB - so 5 teams (3-7) seeing how far they can go. LB is still dangerous and the teams ranked 3-7 could beat each other any given day |
| I think Robinson stands alone, and 2-7 are all fighting for second. Battlefield lost to Patriot once, barely beat Patriot twice, and only beat Lake Braddock 7-4, so they are not clearly better than anyone else in the 2-7 range at this point. Robinson, on the other hand, beat Lake Braddock 18-5 and Madison 12-5. Yorktown was Robinson's closest game this season at 13-9. It was the first game and I think Robinson is a much better team now (although so is Yorktown). |
| Great job/analysis on rankings again this week - well done! Hard to argue with any of it. Agree it's #1 and then a pretty sizable drop to teams at #2-#7 who probably fairly even between them. (may hold on Langley to see if they can get past Yorktown on Tuesday; if not, they may drop and we'll be talking about 4 teams #2-#6). Hopefully that group can continue to play well and give Robinson a run either in Regionals or States. Should be few great games coming up over next couple weeks. |
| I can’t believe someone had the nerve to call these “made up rankings.” These are the most official unofficial rankings out there. |
| Yall be sleeping on OP |
| Osbourn Park? Definitely should have been Top 5 with that 6-8 record and -55 goal differential. |

MadLax/DMV rankings came out last night and copied the top 5 order from this list.
7. Robinson 14. Battlefield 15. Patriot 17. Yorktown 18. Madison https://www.instagram.com/p/Cdooq-nLw3V/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= |
This can't be a serious post? Osbourn Park, really? They lost to Battlefield 18-2. Come on now. |
| Yorktown 14 Langley 6 |
I don't know for certain that this is correct, but I was told this was a close game until an Langley goal was disallowed, and then a Langley player said something to a ref and was given an unsportsmanlike penalty, with Yorktown scoring multiple goals on the man-up. |
| Actually, Langley's FOGO won the faceoff and immediately scored, refs did a stick check on the FOGO (lame) and the goal was disallowed and he was given a penalty for the illegal stick. No unsportsmanlike conduct. Yorktown scored at least two and maybe three goals during the unreleasable penalty and it was maybe a four goal swing. Very reminiscent of the Oakton Robinson state championship game in 2018. I think that Yorktown bench called for the stick check and if so that is a weak move. That said, Yorktown was the better team last night and I don't think that it likely impacted the outcome of the game. |
| Funny you call that weak when Langley called for a stick check first earlier in the game. |
| On Yorktown's FOGO? If so then not cool on either side in my opinion. On regular field players it doesn't bother me as much. |
| I don't think calling for stick check is lame, esp. a fogo. And it sounds like it was illegal. However, if a stick is found not to be illegal, there should be a penalty against the team calling for one or lose a time out or something. I've seen some teams try to change the pace of a game by asking for numerous stick checks that have turned out to be legal sticks. |
It looked like the stick check call on Langley after scoring was a direct response to Langley calling a stick check after a Yorktown goal earlier in the game. That stick appeared to be ok since the Yorktown goal was allowed to stand. |
