[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Madison and Oakton played one “tough” non-conference game each last year. Madison got crushed by SJC in a pre-season scrimmage (lost by 10) and Oakton barely squeaked by SSAS in OT. Both teams could / should schedule more games with other top teams in their backyard (SR, Visi, GC, etc.). Doubt they will bec they want to maintain strong season records. [/quote]

Not accurate. This season, Madison played both SSAS, a perennial power, and Potomac, who had a good year including beating SSAS and is a program on the rise, in addition to scrimmaging SJC.  Last year, Madison played both SSAS and St. Annes-Belfield, also a top private program in the region.  Check your facts.

"Strong season records" are not super-relevant with the Districts and Regions format in VHSL, but testing yourself against top competition is.

Further, a public school, which can't recruit, "barely squeaking" by SSAS is a major accomplishment.  One of the signature wins of Oakton's outstanding season. [/quote]

(1) StAB is not "in the region".  
(2) Beating Saints is a huge accomplishment and one that hasn't been achieved by a NoVA public school in my memory.[/quote]

STAB played 9 out of 13 games this year against ISL and WCAC teams.  They are pretty present "in the region."  Not sure what definition you are using.  Plus, I think it proves the point that Madison is going out of its way to schedule tough competition.[/quote]

It proves the opposite. STAB elects to play all of those out-of-conference games against the best in the DMV and has rightly earned the respect it’s received. Playing just two top ten teams (SJC and SSAS) and getting slammed by both (by 10) does not.
