Weird amount of love for a BF team who is 2-5 against competent lacrosse teams

I cant disagree with you more. They and Battlefield are the only two team I have watched that generate consistent offense. What I see is that what you may call mediocre shots are just dump-ins and easy goals. I have been on the forum for several years and have noted that far too many kids these days think a 15+yard high to high is a good shot. There is a reason the PLL gives 2 for a 15+yd shot, as they are low percentage.
Having watched them a ton last year in 5 an d enough this year, you will not shut them down and game plan, as they have 9 players on the field that can and will score on you at any given time. They remind me of Riverside a few years back.
Good luck out there in FFX and class 6, Indy will win states this year.
While I agree that too many kids these days take 15 yard step downs, they aren’t the worst quality of shot at the high school level with high school goalies. The biggest difference between high school and college/ppl is the consistency and the skill of goalies; that is why they are rewarded with 2 points for what may not be the worst take in high school.

Those MaxPrep "predictions" aren't predictions. If the people who entered scores for earlier MaxPrep games did it by quarter, then it is reflecting the average number of goals they score per quarter. The more scores for each team that were just entered as finals (with no quarter breakdown), the further off the 'prediction' is (thus Langley appearing to be favored over Madison, Robinson only being 'favored' by 5 over Woodson, and West Potomac only being 'favored' by 1 over Fairfax).Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Predictions for tonight:
Independence 10, Battlefield 7
Yorkown 14, Oakton 6
MaxPreps has it
Indy (16.9) over Battlefield (11.5)
Yorktown (13.9) over Oakton (9.2)
Tomorrow:
Langley (10.8) over Maidson (10.4), or is that a push?
Robinson (12.7) over Woodson (7.8)
West Potomac (8.4) over Fairfax (7.2) but the number of WestPo parents with noisemakers is 25.3.

Langley over Madison by any amount is questionable. Everything else sounds on point, including WestPo noisemaker over/under.
