Was at a recent lacrosse game and was surprised to hear cowbells all game long. Reminds me of the SNL classic skit -- "More Cowbell"!!

Chantilly goalie is legit and extremely fun to watch. Big reason why the Chargers are more competitive this year along with other talented field players and all 6 teams in the Concorde District ranked top 15. Even in losing games she has come up with high save percentage.

Yeah, this is actually the worst way to determine who the best is. Many coaches want their seniors to get rewarded over a younger, better player. It is not actually the best indicator. Very disappointing

All State is usually only based on the players from teams that make the State tournament, so not always a true indicator

Have you watched every goalie play in the Region? Pretty bold statement to make. Seems like Madison, Centreville and South Lakes figured it out!

No one is saying that these other goalies are not good. They absolutely are good goalies without a doubt. However, the above mentioned goalies stand out and most of them are actually D1, which doesn’t mean everything, but it does prove that that have been vetted by more than just this sorry group of old men

These three stand out as the three best in the state at 6A without a doubt. I am seeing Oakton’s goalie move up in the rankings as well.

And yes, we do know all of these goalies as the lacrosse world is small, but the goalie lacrosse works is even smaller

West Springfield goalie is also in that conversation

Madison will play tough every game. South Lakes can run with anyone and should not be taken lightly. Still think Madison beats SL. As for SSSA that’s a whole different story. Scheduling is not optimal for Madison this week.

Don’t know who is writing about bloody and bruised practices. Probably a pretender trying to cause drama. Safe lacrosse will always be a priority.

Battlefield games won’t be relevant again until the state finals. They won’t be competitive til then and it may soften them up.

Come to a practice. Bruised and bloody leaving field. No dough girls in this team.

explains how Battlefield plays and what happened to the Centreville girl Saturday...Need to give the refs a heads up on the Bobcats style of play.

Yea you were there. Great stuff.
