| Very competitive game for the most part. The score was back and forth for most of the game until Riverside went on a bit of a run in the 3/4 quarters. #6 and #16 midfielders were key players on Riverside. Key players on Robinson were #21 midfield and #10 attack. Riverside had shots from beyond the 8 meter mark. Impressive game overall! |
Agree on everything above. Few additional thoughts on Robinson v. Riverside. Robinson did not take full advantage of their huge draw control advantage (nearly 4 to 1, ~18-5). Riverside was significantly faster, more agile, and much more athletic. Didn't notice much from the goalies. |
Did PVI play all its starters? And for as long as Madison did? Just trying to add context to the result. |
This was a scrimmage on the first Friday of the season. With the weather, it might have been the first or second time either team had been on the field. I'm not sure there is much to take from the result other than both teams have good players and are both good high school teams. They played it like a real game but both teams substituted more than they would in a regular game. Madison had a couple of basketball players who did not play because their season was still going. I would guess both teams will look much different when they have a few weeks to practice. |
Fair analysis. What’s wrong with the group this year? Most people have been rationale and respectful. Kind of makes you wonder who the real idiots On the page were |
Completely agree. Looks like we have about half the number of posts/pages when compared to the same day last year. Hopefully, this continues as the games heat up. |

Has Yorktown had a scrimmage yet?
What about West Springfield? |

BF 16-0 over Freedom SR
Weather delay caused running clock from the start. BF was running on all cylinders |
Wow. Maybe freedom coach should think twice pushing his players for all state awards over BF girls… |
Be nice 😊 |
Seems about right. |
Woodson is very weak. I wouldn’t be touting a win over them |
Woodson was a state playoff qualifier last year. Did they lose a lot? |
| McLean handled West Springfield fairly comfortably tonight. We weren't keeping score, and I wouldn't call it a blowout but the Highlanders controlled large parts of the game. Kinda expected more with all of the WS commits. Not sure if they were missing people as they only had one coach there too and they didn't do a great job adjusting. |
McLean has some very good players. Can they challenge in the Liberty District with a rebuilding Yorktown and Langley? Not sure if they have enough but could be a sleeper. |
