[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just my two cents, so take it for what it's worth.  Within 6A the favorite has to go to:
Oakton this year, but make no bones about it, it's the only year they have a shot at states as they have nothing coming up in the pipeline after their core senior group graduates and will suffer for years.  They have 2 very good middies but it will boil down to how well the coach understands his players strengths and weaknesses and of course not riding his players into the ground to prevent injury.  Oakton is very predictable at what they do, if they change it up, they could go all the way. 
Yorktown is right behind Oakton, pending if the rumors are true and a couple key players decide not to play this year.  Strong head coach that knows the game and how to teach the game, excellent at planning ahead for big games.  
Battlefield looks very good this year with a solid goalie and core group of seniors.  Question is- can they hang with the top Fairfax County teams
Woodson will always be in contention to fight for states, couple solid players and goalie position with some key veterans coming back.  Question is- can the coach actually coach his players and come up with a good game plan.  
Robinson will be in contention as well as they always have athletes but lost some key players from last year.  Some decent talent coming up the ranks but do they have the horses to keep up with the other teams mentioned above??
Langley lost a ton of players last year but is on the way down to being an average public school team.  Their achilles heal is their head coach, she has no respect from the players and parents and doesnt understand how to use her players wisely and actually coach in big games.  With that said, they will be way stronger on defense as a whole with a rock solid goalie and a couple athletic defenders to anchor her.  Offense will be mediocre at best with only really one attacker and middie.
Cville- This is my pick for my sleeper team, dont count them out as they have a great coach who knows the game and building a solid program.  They have a couple athletes that can play, but their weakness will be on defense.  Don't take them lightly as they will come back to bite you. 
Madison- Couple returning seniors but they will be slightly above average but will not make a run at states.  Just like Langley, their reign is over and on the downfall.  Their coach needs to step up and start building the program from the youth on up, some decent younger talent but they will rely heavily on a couple seniors.

Again, just my opinion, you are welcome to disagree, but i think the big factor will be injuries.  If one of these teams loses a key player or two, they are cooked.  [/quote]

I think this is a fair analysis.  Class 6 is fairly wide open this year with no one head and shoulders above. Two big factors are likely to be injuries (they always happen and I hear there may be some on some contenders) - who is healthy come May is a big factor and who is able to develop younger talent to step up and contribute (Both Yorktown and Battlefield got significant support from freshmen/Sophs last year).  With no obvious dominant team right now, those who get younger players to develop over the season could make a run.
