Langley coaching staff on the chopping block? Cant seem to ever win the big game, with all that talent....

They're 12-4 and played in the district final. They are not on the chopping block.

Yorktown benefits greatly from an early entry into pipeline. All major contributors on Yorktown team would have an extra year of high school experience than FFX schools (in their 8th grade). For a senior starter, that’s 33% more high school experience at the start of the season (4 yrs of experience vs 3). Program size and the mental preparation through the extra HS experience is huge advantage that YT has over other schools.

I am too, they need to tighten up a bit on defense. Offensively they have the firepower and seemingly the game plan too, but they need to start putting it to work earlier in the game not waiting until the fourth quarter in an attempt to mount a comeback.

Yeah, their game plan was great. Langley came with the same plan from the first game and Yorktown was ready for it and picked them apart. Yorktown's offense is more dynamic now and the defensive scheme was good for holding #2 and #8 in check as much as possible. Langley made some mid-game adjustments to get them better looks in the second half but the lead was too much and the changes were too late.

District tournament winners:

Robinson
Madison
Yorktown
Hayfield
Battlefield (if goalie plays, if not Freedom)

Runners up:

West Potomac
Chantilly
Langley
Justice
Freedom/Battlefield

This was really close except for the Justice OT loss to Edison.

Region C

Lake Braddock @ Robinson
Woodson @ Edison

South County @ Hayfield
West Springfield @ West Potomac

Bottom half of the bracket will be interesting to see who emerges, but Robinson wins this thing in a landslide.

Yes, but I would put it like this for bracket purposes:

W-L (L4) at Madison (C1)
Westfield (C3) at Langley (L2)

McLean (L3) at Chantilly (C2)
Oakton (C4) at Yorktown (L1)

Yorktown coaching is great. Coach Beer is the real deal.

Really? Yorktown was ranked higher preseason and this was the write up:

Langley and McLean have closed the gap and will be looking to make a run at the district title, but the Liberty belt still runs through Arlington for now.

Seems accurate. Before the game this week about 75% of the predictions had Yorktown winning.

Crazy that Yorktown has won the liberty district 4 years in a row, especially this year when quite literally everyone thought Langley had it.
