That Westfield Chantilly game was a lot closer than I thought it would have been |
Would love to get recap on this one as I agree, did not think this game was going to be that close. |
Surprising how close LR played Madison. Did LR's backer defense confuse Madison? |
Why is it surprising? LR is still a great team even with the two all state girls out. |
I think it was surprising because they lost to PVI 13-3 and battlefield 17-5 |

Against battlefield they didn’t play backer at all. Was the first game of the year and they did not play well. They also got into serious card trouble early. Battlefield was way better that night. It would be a better game today.
Madison wasn’t confused by the backer but Lightridge played much better overall. They are working in a lot of new defenders and midfielders. It was 4-4 at the half and 9-9 after the third. They had a 7-4 lead halfway through the third. |
Thanks Lightridge Dad |
I'm a Madison dad, but I don't think anything he said about Madison v LR was wrong, except that I do think it took Madison time to adjust to the zone, so very glad the team got to see it in the regular season. We've played BF and LR and both were close games and both are good teams, so I'm surprised the game between them was so lopsided, but the explanation makes sense. |
Lightridge did play a zone vs battlefield. And it was the 1st game for both teams. |
BF dad here. I agree. I’m not sure what to make of all of it either. None of it makes sense. But just like in all sports, anyone can win on any given day. No team is perfect. Some just play better than others on different days The BF LR game was lopsided, but it was an up day for BF and a down one for LR. That’s ok. It’s a regular season game. The only games that matter is the one at the end |
