That was the 3rd goal because it just went off her stick and she was frustrated because she how important every goal was. If you would like to discuss in person - I would be happy to do so.
Did you just anonymously threaten to fight the anonymous poster? Could you live stream this? I love chubby middle age men yelling at each other while being "held back" by their buddies. Or are you saying the "discuss in person" was an earnest request at civility!
Then why are folks on this forum criticizing Oakton and Madison for “not testing themselves?” Had Oakton been able to play New Trier, as originally scheduled, it’s out of district schedule with them and SSAS would have been stronger than Madison’s with SSAS and Potomac School. Nobody can legitimately say that Oakton and Madison are dodging tough competition. Besides, Battlefield’s idea of playing tough competition is playing the Fairfax schools that Oakton and Madison play every year, often multiple times.Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Fair question.

STAB is an independent private school. Can schedule anyone they want, recruit, offer financial aid, etc.
Madison and Oakton are public schools with a regular district schedule, set pyramids, no recruiting--and still testing themselves.
Can't help you if you don't get the difference.
I’ll try this again. Madison and Oakton are not testing themselves. If they wanted to, they would drop weaker teams like Potomac and Bullis from their non conference lineup and replace with GC, SR, Visi, PVI. They don’t won’t do that because they know they’ll get torched if they do.
According to lax numbers, Madison had the toughest schedule with Oakton second

One is good while the other is great. There’s a difference. Your great one made saves. Your good one did not.

Good news for Battlefield. Early lines have them as the favorite in the NVYLL 7/8A division. And their free ticket to championship weekend comes with the division trophy.
Hey dumbass. Oakton won that game. Congrats. Everyone else needs to shut up and move on
However, I’m pretty sure Battlefield just proved that they actually do belong this year. And guess what you idiots, Battlefield is only losing three starters
So you are confirming they are the early favorites to win 7/8A next year?
Without number 11 next year- I put the over/under at 5 wins

Anonymous wrote:It’s worth pointing out that Oakton lost its primary draw person to a torn ACL in the semifinal against Robinson. The win was a team effort, as was the journey getting there. Also, for the record, #11 had 4 goals (two were free positions) and 2 assists. She is a singular talent, but no one or two players can do it alone.
Battlefield deserves all the credit in the world for getting to the championship and battling back after getting down by 5. Their coach is smart to put Fairfax teams on the regular season schedule. It’s paying dividends.
