Biggest upset/choke job since…?

[Anonymous]

Madison crushed W-L 16-1, and it wasn't as close as it looked. For a while, it looked like Madison was under instruction from its coaches not to shoot. But an excellent season for the Generals, notwithstanding a couple of tough losses at the end.

WestPo needed double overtime to beat Woodson 9-8.

I thought Woodson would win. WestPo on a roll.

1. Robinson (19-0)

Results: Def. Mount Vernon 19-2, Def. Alexandria City 17-3

Analysis: Robinson cruised into the semifinals and a rematch with Lake Braddock. It will be interesting to see if LB figured out a way to even things up a bit. As it stands now, Robo looks unstoppable.

Up this week: vs. Lake Braddock (5/23)

2. Battlefield (14-1)

Results: Def. Colonial Forge 16-0

Analysis: Shutout victory for Battlefield against Colonial Forge shows just how weak the Commonwealth district is this year. The official bracket in this Region is nowhere to be found but we think Battlefield faces John Champe for the third time this season. Both prior games were blowout wins for Battlefield and we expect the same this week, leading to a fourth game against Patriot. Really need some more matchup variety on this side of the State.

Up this week: vs. John Champe (5/24)

3. Patriot (13-3)

Results: Def. Woodbridge 1-0

Analysis: We didn’t hear any reports from this game but it appears to be a forfeit score. Patriot gets their third match with Freedom on Tuesday, and they should win and get a fourth game with Battlefield in the Regional championship game, unless they let their guard down against the scrappy Freedom team.

Up this week: vs. Freedom South Riding (5/24)

4. Yorktown (13-3)

Results: Def. Langley 14-6

Analysis: Yorktown dominated Langley in the rematch. They dictated the pace of play on offense and played high-pressure defense that prevented Langley from slowing things down. Patriots take the Liberty district crown and earn an opening game match against Oakton, whom they beat handily earlier this season. Yorktown should coast into the Regional finals.

Up this week: vs. Oakton (5/23)

5. Madison (13-3)

Results: Def. Centreville 14-5

Analysis: Madison took down Centreville with ease to win the Concorde district championship. They still appear to be firing on all cylinders and face a Washington-Liberty team that should offer little resistance. Up next could be an interesting matchup with Langley, and potentially a huge championship matchup against Yorktown.

Up this week: vs. Washington-Liberty (5/23)

6. Lake Braddock (15-3)

Results: Def. Lewis 23-0, Def. West Springfield 9-6

Analysis: Lake Braddock destroyed Lewis but played a surprisingly close game against West Springfield. Unclear if injuries are a factor or if this team peaked too early in the season, as they seem to be slipping a bit in the playoffs. They get their chance to prove themselves tonight against Robinson, but all signs point to another Rams blowout and the end of the Bruins’ season.

Up this week: vs. Robinson (5/23)

7. West Potomac: (14-5)

Results: Def. Annandale 21-2, Def. South County 13-2

Analysis: West Potomac is heating up and trounced South County after playing two close games against them earlier this season. They get Woodson, who they only beat by two goals a few weeks ago. The Wolverines have the hot hand and we predict an easy win and a repeat of the District championship game against Robinson for the Regional championship, with the Rams taking Region C with ease.

Up this week: vs. Woodson (5/23)

8. Langley (9-4)

Results: Lost to #4 Yorktown 14-6

Analysis: Langley looked overwhelmed in the rematch against Yorktown. Ugly, messy game with the refs playing too big of a role with multiple non-releasable penalties against both teams, but in the end Langley just couldn’t keep pace. They face a Westfield team that they beat in overtime during the regular season. Langley needs a rebound and if they win they get a very tough likely matchup with Madison.

Up this week: vs. Westfield (5/23)

9. Freedom South Riding (10-5)

Results: Def. Colgan 17-1

Analysis: Maybe Freedom is better than Langley – it is hard to say with their limited schedule. Freedom makes easy work of the extremely weak Commonwealth district foe Colgan and faces Patriot for a third time. Expect a third loss and an end to their respectable season.

Up this week: vs. Patriot (5/24)

10. Woodson (11-7)

Results: Beat Justice 18-3, Beat Hayfield 18-6

Analysis: We had to show the Cavs a little love for a commendable season. Woodson had some decent wins this season against Centreville, Chantilly, McLean, South County, West Springfield, and Alexandria City and is maybe a hair better than the honorable mention teams. They lost a close one to West Potomac earlier this season but we think they are catching the Wolverines at the wrong time and West Potomac takes the rematch by a wider margin.

Up this week: vs. West Potomac (5/23)

Others Receiving Votes: Centreville (10-6), Westfield (8-7), Oakton (8-8), McLean (8-8), Alexandria City (11-6)

Bunch of Oops in here….

It was an upset but not choke job. LB is a solid team, not deep but they have some superb outside shooters. Robo didn't play their best at times but came back and had a few chances to tie at the end of the game. Worst referees seen this year - WALAO should review the game film and suspend these refs from any further postseason games. Good luck to LB in future games.

What kinds of mistakes were the refs making? Too many calls? Not enough? Something else?

Feel bad for the Robinson kids, but I'm sure the LB players are pretty pumped.

I call BS. Robinson has been getting home cooking from refs in all sports for years. Sounds like they just had an unbiased crew on hand that didn't put up with their antics for once and the lambs couldn't handle it.

And was just 2-1 at halftime - really good first half by Oakton (and Yorktown wasn't playing that badly). But Yorktown definitely got it cranking in second half. They may be peaking at right time - should definitely be formidable again in state tournament - and before that, the likely Yorktown vs. Madison rematch in region final should be good one...

Calls can go either way sometimes, but the most obvious one I saw was the crease violation on the score. Not even close. Watch the tape.

I like the winner of PWC to win states.

Could be but it is pretty wide open now. Either Battlefield or Patriot should be in the finals on one side of the bracket. I could see Yorktown, Lake Braddock, or Madison on the other side (with WestPo and Langley being longer shots). Any of those three could beat Battlefield or Patriot on the right day.
