Boys use them. Not sure why the girls don’t.

Are we sure this is being implemented this year? I heard otherwise.


Just AA? Shot clock in A would be a complete cluster

Hope that’s true. Really boring to watch.

My take on the top 4:

1. Stone Ridge (clear favorite) -- Several top players and more depth than any team in the ISL;

2. Preseason Tie -- Potomac, with loaded 2025 class, and some nice contributors in 26 and 27, will fight it out with SSSAS assuming the Saints get their injured players back at full strength

4. Visi -- Lost a lot to gradation, but may have the best single player in the DC area now (class of '26) with the 3 time MET player of the year from GC graduating.



I thought SR lost almost all their starting middies?

Sounds like you're describing Potomac.

Potomac sounds a lot like SJC last year. Fighting for respect prior to any success. They did make it to the championship, but we all know what happened next and subsequently.

Let's just see how it plays out. I would bet that it is better than a "mediocre" season. Your Potomac bashing will be misplaced this year, sorry.

I would agree. As far as Visi, they have a couple top players but depth is a real question. 26 and 25 classes have some players though.
