[quote=Anonymous]Fun season, loving the interest in VA public lax. While they say comparison is the thief of joy, to rebut talk of a “slide” I found this useful: https://www.laxnumbers.com/ratings.php?y=2025&v=3545

I kinda like the fact that they use a published methodology to rate teams by league, state and nationally, with results going back at least to pre-covid and even earlier for some. They seem to really reward strength of schedule in their ratings and don’t reward blowouts over 10 goals. Anyway, from this it doesn’t seem there’s been any “slide” - rather it looks like some privates put a priority on lax and recruited accordingly, and some didn’t. Nothing wrong with that but it doesn’t mean VA public quality has dropped.

I do think there’s value in playing some of the mid-tier VA privates like Woodbury, SSSA or Norfolk (or Collegiate this year) - you get to see where you are if you treat it like an assessment since it doesn’t matter towards playoff seedings. Beyond that it’s just a JV or recruiting game for schools like STAB or PVI or Blue Ridge. Mad respect for Atlee’s grueling schedule, for sure.

Anyway, great season, excellent playoffs. Kids played their hearts out. Was kinda pulling for a southern champion to grow the game, but wasn’t in the cards this year. Hope everyone has a great summer. [/quote]
