[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very worried about Langley's defense this year. While yes, they do have a great returning goalie, they almost have nobody else coming back to anchor the defense. I know they graduated all 4 of their starting poles, many of whom had been a mainstay in their defensive unit for years. I have trouble justifying them as the top public school team, just because they are expected to have a high-powered offense.

Within their division, even Yorktown returns effectively their entire offense. An offense that was able to find success in at least one of the games they played against each other last year. So with a defense that has one returning player and a goalie that absolutely have their work cut out for them. Looking forward to the rest of the state, how will they match up against the team that eliminated them last year? Robinson has by far the strongest defense in the state, will the saxons be able to figure them out come playoffs? In this matchup who will shine? The Rams defense against the high-powered saxon offense, or the 
young saxon defense against the young rams offense?

A lot on the backs of the Saxon's D1 commits as the Delaware commit and his backup will need to absolutely dominate faceoffs if they wish to win games as they can't expect a sophomore goalie to completely anchor the defense against a strong offense. For the Mercer commit, nothing less than total dominance offensively will be expected of him for the Saxons to maintain their spot as the top dog.[/quote]

This is a fair concern. Will be similar to the 2022 team. They will need to win 80+% of faceoffs and play a very slow possession game. Even a great goalie can only stop so many point blank shots. Last year the Rams held this high-powered offense to two goals in States.[/quote]
