Wow- pp with oakton is one of the best teams we have seen in 20 years. That’s a joke of a statement and you are so full of yourself. You have one good season so far and you think oakton is gods gift to nova glax. Yes oakton is a good team this one year, but you don’t see any of the previous state champs bragging on this board like that.
O wait, I take that back—battlefield. But at least they didn’t say they were one of the best in the past 20 years. Watch what happens to oakton next year….

Disagree with this. Oakton rival here, so I wish it wasn't true, but they are a complete team.

I have seen Visi play this year. I saw Potomac, who just beat Visi, play. I have seen Madison, Robinson, Centerville. Oakton is better than all of them. Anything can happen in playoffs, and they aren't invincible, of course, but the two continuous troll themes on this board, saying that--(1) Oakton is the best ever, and (2) Oakton only has 2 players and are vulnerable--are both wrong.

A sober, informed, assessment says: Oakton is 12-0, has both stars and supporting cast, is the favorite in VHSL 6A GLax going into the postseason, and they will be tested in regionals.

I think they forget the 10-7 score against Yorktown.

In what ways are Oakton underrated? Seriously.. humor me. All we hear about is Oakton Oakton Oakton. From the same parents. They have been given plenty of credit and people recognize that they’re a great team. But let the rest of their season speak for itself.

Oakton is underrated and one of the best teams we have seen in the past 20 years. They will go undefeated easily until they meet battlefield in one for the ages that will be talked about for decades!

Let’s see, Oakton scored 17 goals against Centerville last night and I believe (although I didn’t keep count) the top two (JMU and URI) had roughly 8 of those. That means other players contributed about the same amount, which was about as much as the entire Wildcat team.

Why wouldn't VHSL cross bracket for girls lacrosse?


Not sure why this change was made... I can remember up to around 2017 it being the "better way" where Fairfax teams would always meet in the state finals.

Should be changed back for lax!

There will be no matchup surprises, only some possible coaching adjustments. The problem for opponents is that Oakton’s younger players are stepping up more as the season progresses, making them tougher to stop than earlier in the season.


Their toughest games will be in the Regional. If they make the State Final, they would easily beat Battlefield by more than 10 goals.


Agree. If it’s a Battlefield vs Oakton state final, I predict a running clock against Battlefield before the end of the first half.


Isn’t that what happened to Battlefield last year against Yorktown?

It’s unfortunate that the Regions are so lopsided that Battlefield has an easy path to the state finals annually. Organizers need to mix up which Regions play which Regions for the state title. The logistics and travel times most likely prevent this from happening. So like years in the past the real State Champion match is the state semi-final with the dominant northern regions.




Yes Battlefield could say the same about what they have to go through in football basketball and hockey. You FX people are full of yourselves.

*fockey & baseball.


The issue is that it used to be different in 2019. VHSL went to a worse scenario. Just go back to what it was. Current scenario is more discriminatory against the more diverse NOVA schools in favor of the outstate country club less diverse teams like Battlefield (speaking as a general concept, not calling out any specific team). Could be a real interesting lawsuit vs VHSL.
