STAB is an independent private school. Can schedule anyone they want, recruit, offer financial aid, etc.

Madison and Oakton are public schools with a regular district schedule, set pyramids, no recruiting--and still testing themselves.

Can't help you if you don't get the difference.

I’ll try this again. Madison and Oakton are not testing themselves. If they wanted to, they would drop weaker teams like Potomac and Bullis from their non conference lineup and replace with GC, SR, Visi, PVI. They don’t won’t do that because they know they’ll get torched if they do.

You must have missed the post that pointed out Oakton originally had New Trier, SSAS, and Bullis on the schedule until South County changed its tournament schedule. Those are in addition to Woodson, Yorktown, Langley, and the entire Concorde District. Saying that schedule is not Oakton “testing itself” is just a ridiculous comment. What public school had a tougher schedule?

Fair question. Did any public school in NOVA have a tougher schedule than Oakton? I can’t think of one.

According to lax numbers, Madison had the toughest schedule with Oakton second

Then why are folks on this forum criticizing Oakton and Madison for “not testing themselves?” Had Oakton been able to play New Trier, as originally scheduled, it’s out of district schedule with them and SSAS would have been stronger than Madison’s with SSAS and Potomac School. Nobody can legitimately say that Oakton and Madison are dodging tough competition. Besides, Battlefield’s idea of playing tough competition is playing the Fairfax schools that Oakton and Madison play every year, often multiple times.

It's just one clown trying to be contrarian. I gave up answering him seriously a while ago. Thanks for the back up on my points though.

If there’s room on the regular schedule to play schools like New Trier, Potomac, Bullis and SSAS because you want to tell the world you’re playing “tough competition,” then there’s room on the reg sched to replace those teams with WaPo top tens such as GC, PVI, SR, SJC and Visi. You won’t because you know you’ll lose (and if you’re Oakton that will mean getting bounced from the top ten list, and if you’re Madison you won’t make it.).

Go back to your own board you rich private school tool. Just because you forked out $$$ for little Sally to play on a crappy lacrosse team doesn’t mean you can come here and put publics down. Make better life choices so you can be happier.

I’m quite comfortable posting here, thanks all the same.

Why do you always make this about public vs private and layer on a healthy dose of ad hominem attacks?Disappointed by it as the public schools my kid attended encouraged diversity of thought.

You don’t know anything about me or why we made the decision to go private for high school. If you did you’d know my kid was getting bullied in public middle school and needed to switch to avoid an extremely difficult situation that was destroying my child’s mental health from continuing in high school.

Back to the real matter at hand. Encourage your coach to schedule the toughest teams in the DMV next year. Then let’s see how you do and debate the results here.

Not surprising. Maybe if you weren’t such a d-bag she wouldn’t have been bullied. Parents like you make her an easy target. Hopefully you all can get the counseling you need and if ripping on teams on here to feel big and helps justify your life decisions, then you do you.

What a wonderful representative of the VA public school system you are. I will pray for your children.

BI should get the Oakton coach…

I’m going to guess there is zero enthusiasm for these high end private schools to play public’s. Zero upside on wins and huge downside if they lose. See SSSA vs Oakton. Meaningless game for them. Probably tried to get some PT for others out of normal rotation for their league games that matter and got ripped for losing. On this board especially but probably behind closed doors as well.

No discussion on here about Western Ablemarle beating Dominion? 2 of the 3 public champions not from NoVA.

Coach - this isn’t a good look for you, your program, or your future coaching aspirations.

I can't believe any of you are posting this stuff! Personal things about your daughters' teams, mental health, coaches, life decisions, fellow parents...I assume most of it is made up but it so entertaining!

Good point. Scheduling is a two way street. Not only does the private have to be willing to play the public, but the scheduling has to work for both teams. It’s not like publics have their choice of privates to play.

I hope it is a bunch of fake trash talking. Let’s get back to lacrosse….

Curious why posters here are always explaining / excusing / talking over why Oakton and Madison aren’t playing more DMV top tens, but no one has ever said: “We should take a second look at the non-conference teams we played last year and perhaps change them up so that we have the best local competition in our own region on our regular schedule. This would help us get better as a program and / or show everyone that we can compete with the area’s top teams.” Why hasn’t anyone said this?

Talk to your coaches and try to set it up for next year. I guarantee the DMV top tens would love to play Oakton and Madison during the regular season.

They should consider wanting to play Battlefield too after that score Saturday

I guess Dominion was not as great as some thought they were. Signs were there that their dynasty was aging. WA has been coming on for a few years.
