VHSL Boys Lacrosse 2026 Season

[Anonymous]

Yorktown was absent all three starting mids. Not sure anyone on this board was predicting a WesPo Cosby final last year at this time. A lot can happen between now and June. I do think Robo is deeper this year and having all four starting poles committed is hard to ignore. I would favor them, but the ususal suspects of YT, BF, Mad, Cosby, Langley will have a shot. Indy will mix it up, good or bad, and maybe a Herndon, Chantilly or Oakton team have a say.

People talk about Robinson defense leading that team. Not so sure. Committed poles, yes but I think that offense will score enough that the defense won't have to carry the team.

5A: Champion is Stone Bridge - They have multiple college commits, I believe its their time. Indy moves on, Stone Bridge steps in. Dark Horse is Riverside - they look just ok at the Turkey Shootout. However they seem to always be in the mix, so probably will be again to some extent.

4A: Champion is Salem - They return multiple guys from their state championship run last year. Dark Horse is Loudoun County - Building off of last years runner up success as well as there is some success throughout the school with the football team also making it to the state finals this year.

I love the break down... However, you may not had seen Riverside the entire day.... They beat Freedom by 4 and then they beat both Oakton and Yorktown by 5+... I dont think any other team there had those margins of victory...

Didn't Yorktown lose to a Riverside team that was missing their entire defense and goalie?

They were missing their goalie and a few starters. Plus their best attackman was not there but they still had the CNU pole playing .

Potential State champions
1 Indy - Most complete team
2 Robinson - Best defense beat
3 Langley - Best specialists
4 Battlefield - 2nd most complete team
Dark Horses
5 Cosby - Easiest path to the state semi
6 Madison - Best Coaching
7 Herndon - Talented senior heavy team that beat YT last year
8 Yorktown - Arguably the best offense
9 Oakton - Fab 5 magic
10 West Potomac - State Championship Hangover

Beat Langley when it mattered*

[Anonymous]

how many seniors did Indy graduate

[Anonymous]

Fogo, best mid who their offense ran through, 1 attack, 1 defense.

They return their top scorer, 4 poles with a lot of big game experience, 3 mids, goalie, and added a D1 pole.

I thought they graduated a couple more poles?

Are you referencing Fall Brawl for how to assess teams going into the real lacrosse season?!?

20 and 58 are the only two I know of. 20 is a loss. 22, 43, are back 10. 13 is as good or better than 58 was. Elgas is better than 20 was. Overall I would think their defense would be better than last year.

Pretty sure they're talking about Turkey Shootout.

Ok, but was that full field? The schedule indicates it was not, so how are we using Sixes or whatever style lacrosse to make assumptions about full field lacrosse?

The Turkey Shootout is full field 10v10. The Fall Brawl is a short field 7v7 tournament. Riverside did not have Varsity teams in the Fall Brawl.

The posters are referring to the Turkey Shootout. So, we were able to see a better sample size of what is to come for the Spring from those contests.

Thank you for explaining, I didn't understand well and make a bad interpretation.
