The problem with assessing Langley offseason, is not the talent or how they play.

Its the age old question of: how do you measure heart? When, not if, are they gonna choke away the playoffs?

Great job for out of season by Langley.
How is it that you know the starters on Episcopal and the other side of the Beltway, though? And most of Gonzaga's guys? That would be really difficult to track, seniors graduated, new players coming up and earning time, games in the spring often on the same day as Langley.

I don't understand the problem that this rule is meant to solve - why are chain gang volunteers not supposed to communicate with others during a game - merely to avoid being distracted, or does it give them an advantage somehow?


They were listening in to the other teams calls and relaying them back to their team's sidelines.

did those teams play each other? I would be interested to know how they did. IMHO November tournaments don't tell a lot, but they do tell you more than early fall leagues like VEL.


According the the schedule, Yorktown and McLean played each other. Sounds like it did not go well for McLean. Langley played Episcopal and Gonzaga (guessing not varsity starters).
