[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][u][b]Week 4 -2024 VA Boys Class 6 Rankings[/b][/u]

[quote]I think Freedom has a great chance to go 2-0 this week. Briar is not very good, hearing they have some bad internal issues. Riverside is not the old Riverside, too may question marks there. Freedom is a complete team, 6A (not 5a) and playing well. Should be a great week. [/quote]

The question on the table here is how good is FSR and what do this weeks games mean for them. First, I do not believe FSR will win much less be that close (10+) vs. Riverside. If they can keep it under 7, this is a good sign for the strength FSR. Anything over 10 is a very bad sign. This comes down to how good is BW and what does a FSR win or loss there mean.

I believe FSR needs to blow out BW (7+) to mean anything. BW took a thumping from Battlefield and had a 1 goal game with Patriot. This puts BW significantly behind Riverside and the Indy team that loss by 2 to Battlefield. In Loudoun alone, this puts BW below Broad Run too who has some nice large wins to date and is 5-0.

Another common opponent here is Dominion with FSR and Indy. Indy was +10 vs Dominion and FSR was +1. If you extend that to another Dominion game, Dominion was only +1 vs Loudoun County High.

The comment that "FSR is a complete team at 6a" is laughable. They are having trouble with 4a "mediocre" teams. A close game between FSR and BW only solidifies that they are in the third tier of Loudoun and not even close to the top tier of NOVA as a whole. 
In ranking Loudoun by itself, pre game:
Tier 1) Riverside - also included in/AT top tier of NOVA
Tier 2) Broad Run, Indy- #5-10 rage in NOVA
Tier 3) Dominion, [b]FSR, BW,[/b] LVHS, LCHS, Woodgrove, Champe - et al.

This is based on wins and interplay between these team this year in regular season (not scrimmages, LOL). 
For either team to set itself apart from the other tier 3 schools in LoCo, a clear and convincing win (+10) is necessary tonight. However, I will say that FSR can play a +5 to 7 win with BW and then follow it with a "close" +5 loss to Riverside, they could be considered for a jump to Tier 2.

Otherwise, a close game is seen as two average teams battling it out.
