[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Battlefield's strength of schedule was surely helped by that 14-9 loss to YT.[/quote]

And by beating up on the Sister-of-the-Poor 5A JV squads. They beat a Lightridge team who’s best commit is going to Radford, the same Radford team ranked 128th out of 131 teams. If you’ve ever seen teams play at this level in D1 you know how painful those games are to watch. Lightridge may be tops in 5A but that’s not saying a lot.[/quote]

This is the biggest issue I have right now with people on this board.  The over judgement of colleges.  For those that haven't been through it.  Kids pick a college to play at for a myriad of reasons.  Not the highest ranked school to please everyone else.  We keep beating up ASU for some weird reason.  All the Yorktown kids weren't going good enough places.  Now the Lightridge kid is getting dogged for picking Radford.  Rankings change every year on all of these schools.  Kids commit in the fall of their Junior year.   2 FULL College seasons will be played before they step on campus there.  They don't pick it on ranking.  It's location, coach, feel, school, major availability, logos (I know), comfort on campus.  So many things.  ASU could be 40th when a kid commits and then 20th or 80th by the time they step on campus.  Radford could be 75th or 129th.  The High School kid has no control over that until they get there.

Battlefield has scheduled tremendously well.  Trying to play everyone and anyone they can to challenge themselves.  Including scrimmaging Riverside and playing Lightridge.  Clearly the best 2 5A teams in Northern Virginia.  You can dump on 5A all you want.  Lightridge beat Langley, beat Meridian, and beat Madison in a scrimmage.  Battlefield had a great game Friday night and beat Lightridge.  Doesn't mean they suck.  They would still beat almost every time in D6.  Outside of Yorktown and Battlefield I would put them up against everyone else.  Oakton, Langley and Madison is the next group.  They clearly competed in that bunch already.
