I am guessing you watched the Riverside game where they lost 21-6. |

Would loved if Riversides FOGO played in the scrimmage vs. Robinson. That would had been a fun match up to watch. Side note, very smart by both coaches to scrimmage each other every year. Always a tight well played scrimmage. Both teams use it to get a great look at where they need to move parts, and see who can do what heading into the season. |

| FOs wouldn’t even be close. Jax commit older and better. |

This is no doubt true. The Robinson kid is good but not in the Riverside class (yet?) |

Of the top teams in 6A, who graduates the most talent, and what teams have serious talent returning in 2025.

It seems like everyone of the top 5 this year (Robinson, Madison, McLean, Yorktown, Battlefield) loses a lot of talent. Yorktown returns easily one of the better lsms in region D as well as a freshman attack who will be a lot better as a sophomore as he was already pretty good. Anyone wanna give write ups for other teams? |

| Langley returns #8 who scored five goals against Yorktown including the game winner in the regular season. They also return 12 and 6, two very solid midfielders. And they’ll have their first team all region face off guy #7 who is a very athletic and capable two way middie in his own right. On defense their starting goalie and their best pole #4 come back. I know it’s basically a running joke at this point but Langley does look like they should on paper be a strong contender in their district and region next year. Yes they lose a lot without 2,40, and 0. But they have lots of good pieces coming up. |

| McLean is losing a lot and I don't know if they have the program to backfill. |

In the Liberty, I think the favorite should be Langley as it was this year although they were tripped up by Yorktown in the district final again. McLean is losing a lot. I'm not sure how they replace it all depth wise. Yorktown is a real wildcard from the outside. I believe they had a lot of seniors, but this could be an addition by subtraction scenario. |

| All three teams in the Liberty district are very similar. They each have some great players, but lacking in depth, and each team's success will depend on how they develop their 2024 bench and JV players to fill the holes in 2024. When evenly-matched teams play it usually comes down to face offs and goaltending, where Langley had the edge in at least one category, and possibly the other. But if you bet on Langley to win the district, you would be betting on something that has not happened in a long, long time! |

oops, I meant fill the holes in 2025 |

At least one of the All-Academics (Matay/Langley) is a pole. As for the others, my guess is that from less prestigious lacrosse territories such as NoVA publics, and the players are chosen based mostly on their numbers, which tend to be offensive players. I bet there are plenty of poles from Chaminade, St. Anthony's, McDonough, Gilman, etc. |

The All Academics are chosen by faculty members. And the All Americans are voted on by coaches after those same coaches nominate All American candidates. |

| Not quite true - All Academics are also nominated by coaches (with input from faculty) and voted on by same coach committee in each particular region |

Not quite true -- yes, they are nominated by coaches (I didn't address that), but if they were voted on by coaches, they no longer are. |
