Petition VHSL to change it up. They finally cross populated regions. That gave us an all Region D final this year.
They should switch it up each year. A vs B and C vs D following year A vs C and B vs D following year A vs D and B vs C I'm sure even if VHSL did approve it, some would still complain. |
If you are on DCUM you have denigrated a player's ability at least once in your life. You are not on here to stimulate your brain. |
Neither team will win by 7. Will be a close game. |
What time and place will the state championship be held? |

Has nothing to do with the coaching. These coaches have excellent players at the moment. Let’s see how they do with ok/good players. That’s a real test of a coach’s ability. And YT is about to meet shock and awe. Madison wins by 5. Mark it. |
It's really going to come down to draw control (# of possessions). Both offenses are difficult to stop. Should be a good game. |
Played like 8th grade |
Word on the street is that there is no stream. |

Like someone else said, possession is key. If you don’t have the ball, you can’t score. Madison uses a draw stick, Yorktown doesn’t. Advantage Madison. That said, Cosby did a nice job keeping the draw control fairly even, something like 12 to Madison 10 to Cosby. Maybe Yorktown learns something from the film. So, like you said they both have very talented players. To me, it will come down to coaching. Recognizing what the other is doing and adjusting to neutralize. In the first half of the Cosby/Madison game Madison played man to man defense. Cosby kept it close and it would have been even closer were it not for a Cosby yellow card that resulted in 2 player-up goals. In the second half, Madison came out with a high-pressure defense and Cosby was completely flummoxed. And I think Madison definitely made adjustments from the first time they played Yorktown and as such were successful the second time. So, can Yorktown counter? And if so, what does the Madison coach do to stay one step ahead? Should be a great game. Both deserving teams. |
Maybe they have excellent players because they developed them. |
6-3 Warhawks at end of 1st but the Patriots get some Mo with a late fast break goal to take into the break. Madison dominated draws which has made the difference. Heat out here could wear the teams down late.

Thanks for the update. Please keep them coming. |
Any cards? How are the refs calling it? |
