Agree. It’s demolished hs sports with each new opening. Lightridge took Champe, PVI pulls from each of the local hs’s making it a very big deficit of top players. With the new hs opening near Indy, that will take from there and maybe lightridge.

Until the area can get caught up in families, it’s going to be a continuous lack in depth on all teams. And that might be years away.

On the girls side you can drop names in a hat and pick a winner. The county has been leaking talent the past two years. Not sure if kids just aren’t playing anymore or if soccer has hurt numbers given the two are Spring sports. Woodgrove has the top player, but not much of a supporting cast. Dominion will be way down, but all teams are much weaker this year, so they will still win their district.

To put this into perspective for the 6A crowd, all the kids at Indy at one time were slated for Briar Woods. If they had kept all the talent it would not be close at this point on who the top team in the state is.

Huh? Watch Indy play and then report back on what you think. I won’t call out individual kids, but at certain positions they are very green, it almost looks like JV players.

Potomac Falls? Are you new to the area?

I think the rankings:

1. Riverside
2. Briar Woods
3. Independence
4. Freedom
5. Champe
6. Stone Bridge
7. Broad Run
8. Loudoun County
9. Potomac Falls
10. Woodgrove

I think both. All comments welcome

Girls or boys?

Dominion is always a top team in NOvA good talent and strong coaching but they did graduate a lot

Good call. Thank you.

Any talks about Region 4 and Region 5? Curious about the smaller school in Loudoun.

I have seen Indy play once this year, and I was surprised how weak they are for all the chirping that their coaches and parents do on this board.
