I heard the Lewis coach received a red card for grabbing a Robinson player around the neck.

Think the poster of the classes was one off. Robinson, wakefield, basically FFX is class 6 and the Loudoun schools are generally class 5. Pretty cool to see them do well.

Class 5 Robinson lost last night to wakefield. Herndon moves on beating West potomac. Lightridge and Riverside both moves on for Class 4.

NOVA soccer holding strong.

I left before the mini brawl, but I heard the Lewis fans got out of control, throwing water bottles and debris at the Robinson players after the skirmish, and that was the reason the game was called early. If true, their fans disqualified their team from making a comeback. Pathetic.


Unfortunately it was true.

The first cards weren't crazy, the one Lewis kid got a red after two yellows. The second yellow for flopping.
The night went sideways after some pretty basic fighting for the ball happened near the Lewis bench. It may not even have gotten a card if the Lewis bench wouldn't have cleared and started a fight. Then there seemed to be a lot of fan, coaches, kids going nuts on the Lewis side that led to Lewis fans chucking bottles at the Robinson kids.
Night ended with Robinson parents and kids having to wait until Lewis fans cleared the stands and quite a few police cars.


This exactly. It wasn’t crazy until the skirmish that ended in at least two more red cards. The remainder of the game was canceled; and the Robinson kids were sent out a back gate for safety.

This is good to hear. In my experiences, the refs usually swallow their whistle during HS playoff games. Makes for some brutal games. The refs need to be consistent and maintain order even more so during playoffs, because the tensions are always higher. Players and fans alike.

What really stood out thought were all the references to the red cards--it sounded like a wild game. Anyone have details as to how egregious the cards were/what caused them? I did see one of them was a second yellow to a player who got called for simulation -- kudos to the referees for calling them out on it!


Futbol Familia has an interesting video on YouTube covering the match between Lewis and Hayfield. Highlighted a few times where they felt that Lewis deserved some chats at least but ended the game apparently with no cards and Hayfield ended up with a bunch.

Thanks--it's an emotional sport for players and fans alike. Hopefully nobody was hurt and great to hear they had a good crew working the match.
