Langley won a lot more faceoffs. #3 on McLean is as good as advertised and their goalie made some great saves. Teams are really evenly matched.
I’ll echo this. 3 on McLean drew a slide faster than anyone else in VHSL I’ve seen all year. Very good dodger
Langley did everything they could to stop him and I still think he got a hat trick. They were able to keep #4 and the attack in check and that was good enough.
Was impressed that Langley kept #4 so quiet the entire game..excellent game planning

I agree. STAB beat St Albans and STA killed Riverside. I was thinking 13-8 or so also.
Well, what do I know? Riverside up 4-1 after 1Q. STAB looks terrible.

Two great games today:
Madison @ Atlee
Riverside @ STAB
Hoping the nova teams can represent.
My thoughts exactly. If you don't want to talk lacrosse and want to just wine dance all night please stop. Asking nicely. That being said.....
Prediction - Madison wins 12-9 in a tough game.
Atlee will put up a Fight against Madison but I think they are way to Battle Tested to and Atlee is down a little bit this year. Madison better show up.
Prediction - Riverside over STAB 10-9 in OT.
Riverside will get a big test today from STAB. First year HC at STAB Nic Bell (Former Taft HC, Brown U, Highland) is a pretty darn good lacrosse coach as he was a player. Also a good dude. Looks they have found something recently and if Riverside doesn't get off the bus ride to Charlottlesville they could be in trouble especially coming off a tough, Possible First Ever (Someone fact check that) Loss to Freedom South Riding.

Yes but not to the extent that Freedom does and did. If you knew you would know
What an ignorant statement. You obviously don't know. Langley has to deal with this issue more than any other school district. Lots of Mclean and Great Falls players playing at private schools...ie top recruit in the country on SJC. Also, Princeton recruit at Landon. Plus many others.
Factually inaccurate. So you don’t know. Two players is not the same as six and seven in recent seasons but go ahead Langley dad.
You clearly don't know and have no idea what you are talking about. It’s not just those 2 STUDS that were mentioned (5 and 4 star recruits). There are many more. Prep has another two 2026 Poles that get significant playing time on Gtown Prep that live in Langley district. There is also another Landon kid (not the 4 star Princeton commit previously mentioned). Gonzaga's best player last year who now goes to boarding school is from Langley district. SJC has another starting attackman (not the #1 UVA recruit) that lives in Great Falls.
SJC alone has about 6 kids. Private school rosters are littered with these kids.
If you think Freedom losing is 6-7 few kids to PVI is anything compared what Langley has to deal with year after year, you are clearly clueless. Langley loses most of its top kids to private schools every year FOR YEARS. There is no sign of it slowing down as more and more parents are sending kids to private schools.
I wish you all would quit the pissing and moaning! Sure a kid lives in a district, EVERY a kid lives in a public district, it’s kind of law that public needs to be offered where people live.
IF the kid went from private 8th to Frosh private, you have no room to talk. IF kid went from public 8th to private Frosh, you have no room to talk. You NEVER lost these kids, they were never there to begin with.
The only way you lose them is if they played for you and now they don’t. That can happen for so many reasons- private, injury, family moves, kid loses interest etc etc etc.
Play the what if game all you want, or, play with what you have. Don’t piss and moan about what could have been.
Not missing or moaning. Just responded to the laughable comment by the Freedom Dad that no other school had to deal with what they did with their kids going to PVI. Clearly he was 100% incorrect.
Actually, I'm a former PVI Parent, who make the decision, for multiple reasons to send my son to PVI, not specifically for lacrosse. Living in Loudoun and seeing the 6 public schools in a 5-mile radius, offers a different perspective. My comment was not intended to say that only Freedom loses kids to PVI, and that schools like Langley, McLean, and others don't. They were losing kids to private schools before Freedom opened.

LOL. So every private school kid in NoVA would have gone to Langley? You are just making stuff up at this point.
Didn't say that. But check the rosters. Tons of quality kids.
Freedom? Ha ha ok

Exactly. Play with what you got. The best teams manage to hang onto a few kids who could be contributors at private schools and get the most that they can out of the other kids. Madison, Riverside, and Yorktown have done this the best lately. Robinson always does this.
