How are we saying that Mclean is favored? Langley by 5. Can’t wait.

Wow! Awful. Feel for all of the other tilly kids who lose an all time great coach. Big loss for NOVA lax.


Placing your hands on a kid…regardless of how obnoxious they are being…is going to get you fired in a school setting.

I’m calling McLean 8 Langley 5 with both McLean middies having a hat trick; I think McLean’s speed on offense will be too much for the Langley D


Agree..Langley D is way too slow to slow down a very fast and aggressive McLean attack. I expect McLean to jump out to an early lead before Langley can recover and settle in.

All of these ended up not close:

West Potomac 8 Fairfax 3
Lake Braddock 8 Alexandria City 1
Patriot 11 Gainesville 3

Hayfield 11-7 win over Alexandria City looks bad if Lake Braddock can beat them 8-1.

#10 spot still up for grabs this week.

Just curious - anyone know how the tiebreaker would work for district seeding if there were a three-way tie (McLean beats Langley and Yorktown beats McLean)? Top seed gets a huge advantage.

Tell that to the kids from public schools around here who have gone on to play college lacrosse.


I would, but there aren't any who would say college coaches came to see their high school games. Just doesn't happen at public schools.


That is why kids are playing for Club Teams in Bethesda/DC.

I think that is a good call. Not sure about the middie prop bet, but that is a good line.

Their offenses are pretty comparable. Yorktown’s defense is better.

Yorktown 11 Langley 8


😆😆😆


This assessment is pretty accurate, they just forgot to account for face offs.

wow if that's true that seems unduly harsh. if really just mouthy kid + bad day for coach = decades down the drain - that's terrible.
