[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rough night for the VA boys.

Severna Park 14 West Po 3
South River 14 Langley 7
Broadneck 14 Madison 5[/quote]

Anne Arundel County just plays at a different level. [/quote]

Yeah, the speed is much faster. Langley and Madison both looked shocked and fell way behind quickly. Both seemed to adjust and settle in but way too late. [/quote]

In all fairness, I watched on stream, BUT my observation: 
The speed differential was not that great.  Either Langley or Madison play as a whole team. Langley has no team defense, but does play a team offense most of the time. Madison plays team defense, but seems to be a collection of players on offense.

If you are not scoring via assts. and 5-10 yd shots, you will struggle against better teams. If you allow players to roam freely through you D and lose your man, you will get scored on at will. When players are even or just close athletically, the team will most always beat the human highlight reels.[/quote]

I watched both in person and the pace of play differential was very apparent.  Not athletic speed difference but in transition.  MD teams would clear the ball to midfield before VA teams hardly knew the MD teams had the ball.  No ride even set up.  On the other side, MD teams rode aggressively and crushed the more methodical VA clears.  Agree with you that Langley's offense looked better.  South River's goalie played great and stuffed a ton of shots on the doorstep.  They need a lot of work on defense.  As you noted, Madison was the reverse, defense is fine for VA (despite giving up 14 goals) but offense needs some coordination.[/quote]
