Indy is known for not taking our starters during scrimmages and from what I’ve heard other coaches don’t love it. Also, having a good jv team isn’t always indicative of a dynasty as good jv players aren’t always good at the next level.

Yes the Madison coach is very good. Also, players need to play. The level of talent at Madison is only so good and not near what it has been the past few years.
Madison will do well because of coaching, but they are not a contender. The talent is not there.
Entirely different, very much doubt it. Closer, sure. Madison is a bottom 10 team.
At this point, I would expect a state champ in 6 to be a non-Fairfax county team.

And that matters why? You don’t schedule these types of prep. It should have just been Madison/ Indy.

What is wrong with these coaches scheduling two 20 min running clock halves? This is not club weekend, it’s season prep
As a whole and with each individual unit- Indy was a much better team than Madison. This wasn’t even close. Possibly the Madison middies are on par with Indy, but that is debatable. Other units, not even close.
The Indy goalie is very good. He was making good saves, as Madison could not generate any close in opportunities and settled for outside shots. Any good goalie should be able to stop distance shots.
The score was 9+ to 1. This was not even close. I don’t get where a previous poster said “that was the difference” (goalie). These are teams on different levels. This is not the Madison of the past few years.
I would put Madison in the 8-10 range, Indy in the 1-3 range and McLean well, they should have not been on the field with either of these teams.
Madison was missing there #1 guy on attack
And that matter how? They played D most all of the night. An attack man is useless when you can possess that ball.

Me thinks you heard a term once and don’t know the meaning.
He maybe made 1 or 2 great saves. The rest were very routine. He is very good, but when Madison had maybe about the same amount of shots as Indy had goals- it wasn’t the difference in the game.
Again, and I have said it for years, Madison shoots way too many 15+yard shots. A keeper should save those period.
Ok. “Maybe made 1 or 2 great saves” is all I need to know. Yes, those were the difference in the lvl of competition.
Wasn’t it like 10-1? So if you take away 2 great saves it’s 10-3? I’m confused.
