It wasn’t even brought up, but since you did. She’s good. Would BF be the same team without her? How much of the weight does she carry? I say she carries a lot. Not a lot of the other girls score from bf

ASU lost to Marquette

what relevance does that have here?

ASU barely beat Cincinnati

Stats and facts ASU commit

Battlefield has played toughest schedule so far rating wise. YT is 76.77 after adding Woodson win.

If she’s that good why would she commit to ASU? You would think she would use that lax talent to get into a much better school.

Please do keep us posted on where your subpar, less than athletic, entitled daughter ends up going, and how many years she rides the bench before she quits.

Actually riding the bench is a common scenario for star recruits their first year or two at the high end of the D1 scale.

And by beating up on the Sister-of-the-Poor 5A JV squads. They beat a Lightridge team who’s best commit is going to Radford, the same Radford team ranked 128th out of 131 teams. If you’ve ever seen teams play at this level in D1 you know how painful those games are to watch. Lightridge may be tops in 5A but that’s not saying a lot.

I’d like to better understand what teams are considered on top and who should be on everyone’s schedule? Looking at prior comments, some contradictions on who has a tough schedule and who doesn’t.

This year it’s really YT and everyone else. There are not as many elite teams as there have been in past years like YT, Woodson, Madison, Oakton, Riverside, Dominion, etc. With the drop off in numbers playing and talent level there seems to be more parity among average teams.

Can you provide a link to the data that shows a drop off in numbers playing? There is no way to compare talent level across tens of teams over time so I won't even ask for support on that point.

Having had several daughters play over a span of years, I have to agree the numbers are down. You don’t have to look any further than rec lacrosse to understand it’s not the same.

When my first daughter played there were 3-5 teams in each age group. And making the A team was a big deal. You really had to be a strong player to make this team. Now, our rec program is lucky to field 1 team in each age bracket. None in the A division. Everyone makes the team, which hurts the players mixing such wide skill sets. From our experience, the numbers and talent have fallen way off. It’s sad to see at the youth level because this feeds future high school and college programs.

This is impacting high school teams and games. My first who played had players cut from JV. It was hard to make varsity. There were 4 teams in her district that could compete on any given night and win. Today, districts have 1, maybe two teams, that are competitive with one another. Go to many games and players on the field struggle with the basics of passing and catching. Teams now can barely fill a varsity roster, often filling them with athletes who have not played the sport. There are fewer JV teams and some JV games are 7v7.

I wish I could say club has filled the void, but the reality is local high school club teams are not competing at the same level as in the past. The high water mark for local high school club teams may have been the 2023 class when both Capital Blue and Pride Black were ranked in the top 10 at one point. Those two teams alone probably sent 30+ players to D1 programs from that class.

US Lacrosse may have stats on the games growth, but locally in Northern VA the numbers have been down from our personal experience. And with it the talent as well.

ASU will not be on any top recruits list, but they are a solid mid-tier D1 program that historically finishes between 40-80 in the rankings. They sit at 41 now. Good program, not great. Probably will not make the NCAA tourney any time soon. Academically they are ranked 121. The positive, you get to play in warm weather.

Is the YT soccer recruit playing lax this season? Haven’t been keeping track.

4/7( no games that matter )

4/8
Oakton @ SSSA - Oakton is gaining momentum and grit, this matchup will show us how far they have come.

4/9
Madison @ Robinson - Robinson is living on a prayer and this will put the nail in the coffin if they can’t pull this one off.
Westfield @ Langley - just good lacrosse on the calendar

( I guess these games matter to some)
Lightridge @ Riverside
LV @ Stone Bridge

4/10
Oakton @ Bullis - Again, another test to measure their grit.

4/11
Madison @ Yorktown ******* is this on ESPN? Or Fox Sports?

regarding
Riverside - Lightridge
( I guess these games matter to some) - This is a ridiculous statement...It's the best two teams possibly in the state in 5A. Of course it matters. Why does Westfield - Langley matter or Oakton - Bullis matter and this doesn't

I think you just answered your own question. If I had to take a wild guess, it’s because they are class 5 and not class 6. Good luck.

Got it...So D5 doesn't matter in your eyes. Go create a D6 only board with your bias. This is a VHSL board. Lightridge could beat every team in D6 outside of Yorktown and Battlefield. I think they beat Westfield 25-2 in a fall game. They beat Langley and Madison so far. But it's D5 so who cares. Riverside and Lightridge will probably play 4 times again this year (as they did last year). This matchup will determine Regular season and then District Title, Region Title and State tourney.

But that doesn't matter. Just Madison Robinson and Westfield Langley games matter because they are D6 (but would all lose to Lightridge)

Seriously stop being a snowflake- people are allowed to have their opinions.

I promise you I'm the furthest thing from a snowflake. Tired of your dumb bias
