No doubt Langley will miss his numbers, but let's not pretend he was good enough to carry the Saxs to a ship.
Our coach designing the system around a player or two every year has to stop. We have too much talent to call a season a loss before the first game is played. Ffs!!

You should be the coach

What's valid is the programs who lack a "next teammate up culture" are less resilient. Indy lost 2 significant contributors in the offseason and won't miss a beat.
Injuries are a weak excuse.

Here comes the annual “injuries aren’t an excuse” idiot. Of course they are! Talent is at a premium in VA publics, and if you lose one of your best couple players, it has a MASSIVE impact. You think West Po wins states if one of their best guys goes down??? As a matter of fact, if any team in ANY sport loses their best player, they get worse. Don’t know how that is hard to understand. You clearly have a 3rd grade level understanding of the sport and sports in general, maybe learn.

Well, you are both wrong.

Yes, Injury to a top player can and does have an impact, no doubt.
BUT, if you rely on one player that much, you don't have much of a "team".

The Independence growth and success has been being worked on for years and carefully curated by coaches who have dedicated countless hours on developing talent and a love for the game for over a decade.

Starting in the youth ranks these coaches brought together a group of families that have stuck through things in thick and thin and the results speak for themselves.

The main objective was for the boys to have fun and develop a passion. High school success and college recruiting was secondary but as a result these guys are really talented, being recruited and committed and these families will be life long friends as a result.

No other program in the area has taken this much time and dedication and it shows on the field. I think they'll be around for awhile and rest of area could learn a thing or two about multi year commitments to development. This is why Long Island/New England and Baltimore are "better"
