[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lot of subpar play today across the board at ffx tournament. Just  down year across the board. Whoever had the tier 1s spot on. Everyone else is lumped together. If a specific teams main 1 or 2 girl off any given game it really impacts the game. Depth is a significant issue across board [/quote]

Totally agree. Anecdotally, I know several teams lost a lot of good players to graduation and that loss is compounded by a bunch of injuries. I’ve heard about more concussions this year than I can remember - it’s been bad. That combination plus more good players opting for private schools means (not surprisingly) subpar play. I’m hopeful that next season will be better.

As a big supporter of Virginia rec and public lax, I'm afraid I have to agree with this. Looking at comparative scores is always shaky, but let's look at this weekend.

I would offer that Battlefield is clearly then 6A midseason #1.  They are undefeated, beat Madison, look strong. A couple of weeks ago, they beat private PVI by 1. Good win right?  Always impressive to beat a top 4 WCAC team.  Well...maybe not.

PVI just got blown out by Holy Child, the 5th best team in the ISL, and lost to St Stephens and St Agnes by a whopping 14 goals.  This suggests that the relative strength between VHSL and local privates seems to have shifted significantly.  These results are a far cry from a few years back when Oakton beat St. Stephens and St Agnes on their run to a state championship--and they weren't as dominant as Battlefield seems to be this year.  In fact, they lost to Madison twice on their way to the state title.

I really want this trend to shift back, but we are going to need to keep more talent at publics and rebuild the NVYLL if that is to happen.[/quote]
