Gotta go with the hot team playing at home. In regionals Langley beat a very good Chantilly team by 7, beat Madison on the road, which nobody expected, and beat Yorktown by 10. Robinson had two easy games, and then a loss to West Po where they looked pretty bad. It is bizarre that they did not try to get the ball late in the game. It's true that Robinson has a history of winning big games and Langley losing them, and this year the trend seems to be reversed. Robo found a way to lose to West Po and Madison, while Langley found a way to beat both of those teams, plus beating Robinson itself. Robinson has dominated face-offs the past two years, but this year Langley has owned the X. It will be a good close game, and the data points toward Langley.

Cosby in a laugher
Langley in a pick'um
Langley in another close one.

WP over YT +2
BF over DR +6
BF over WP +3

Langley over Battlefield +3 for State

Lot of ball still needs to be played but if all 4 1 seeds win, who gets the home games in the semifinals? Same if both 2 seeds win?

No - Cosby got up 4-0 or 5-0 and Robinson had to claw their way back into it.

That wasn’t meant to say Robinson should not have won, it just was not an easy game for them.

Indy Briar and Riverside would be in the mix for sure but there's no way to know where they would fall. Personally I don't think either team would be able to handle a 6A schedule. They're both too undisciplined to consistently win big games against well coached teams. They struggle both with Riverside every year because of this. 6A has significantly more depth in this department.

Riverside would be in the mix because they are a well coached program with a history of winning but anyone who watched them this year knows the talent just isn’t there to win it. It’s amazing the run they had. 6 state championships in 7 years is incredible, but I only saw 3 offensive players that could even generate scoring chances. I am not sure what is coming back but it looks like it’s the end of an era in Lansdowne.

Agree that Indy will play undisciplined most of the time and that is their fatal flaw. I also agree that they are the most talented team in VHSL.

I would not agree that their best win was vs Battlefield- I would rank them doubling up Atlee, and beating Riverside above BF (reigning 4,5 and 2nd place 6 teams) . Atlee gets my vote for the toughest schedule in the state.

I really hate to say I believe they will win Class 5, but I think they will.

Hands down. They have two guys going to Mary Washington.

and how about their 2025's?

Indy has 2 2025's going to UMW, 1 going Aurora and 1 going to Rollins.
Others may play club at bigger schools, choosing college over lacrosse. Who cares? They are a tough team and pretty well balanced overall. Goalie is a Sophomore and playing at a high level since he took over last year.
