Battlefield @ Robinson game at Woodson
Any others?
I'd add Robo at SoCo in an afternoon game today to the list and Madison hosting Potomac on Friday.
Give me:

I think Oakton is the team to beat this year but it's definitely not a gimme as there other good teams in the 6C and 6D regions. That is unless the Oakton JMU commit gets injured like she did last year and then it's all bets off. She's very scoutable so opponents should adjust accordingly. But she was last year's POY despite missing a chunk of games due to injuries (didn't know that was possible). Battlefield seems to get a lot of attention on this board. In reality, Battlefield is not in a competitive region and has an easy path to states. The top 5-6 teams in the combined 6C/D regions would beat them. Obviously, we'll see how this all plays out as the 2023 season progresses. Always routing for an upset or an underdog Cinderella story.
Well Battlefield plays six of them do we will see how well your post ages.

Showdown Week is Here...

Post Mon Mar 20, 2023 1:05 am
With the first week of real action under our belts (pre-season scrimmages, while nice, can’t really be judged as some play to win, some play to see what they got, and some just try to play everyone before shortening the benches), we have seen some movement as some teams are, as Dennis Green once said, “who we thought they were” and some aren’t (for better or worse), so no reason to let them off the hook. It’s time for the new rankings….
1) Oakton (2-0)– Wins over Langley and Bullis show us the Cougars have come to play this year, and they will get a chance to prove it Tuesday night with a #1 vs. #2 showdown that should be worth the $5 admission if the snack bar is open.
2) Woodson (2-0)– WTW moves up to #2 with wins against two of the best GKs in Class 6 this past week, albeit escaping from Sparty on Friday in OT. Not only will Tuesday’s matchup likely determine next week’s #1 team, it could also set up the leader for state POY as a pair of the best middies do battle.
3) Battlefield (1-0) – The Bobcats get a shot at redemption Monday night as they enter the championship rematch as the home favorite. With all the message board posting about the Bobcats, failure to win this one may just leave them as a cartoon in a cartoon graveyard. They’ve looked good early so far, and I hear they are getting healthy. Yorktown and Robinson games this week give them the chance to take the next step and get people beyond this pollster to believe in them.
4) Yorktown (1-1) – Some have been writing off the defending champs, but not many publics hang within single digits of SSSAS and then go out and handle Robinson. While injuries may have played some factor in those results, the Patriots are still a force to be reckoned with and their next 4 games give them a chance at a direct path back to the top spot.
5) Centreville (3-0) – The Wildcats have rolled early, but step up in competition with Yorktown coming to town on Friday. Their middie pair has been dominant so far, can they keep it up?
6) Madison (1-0) – Not many teams go to the Coffey shop and win, but some of the luster of the Robinson win came off after the Yorktown-Rams game. Coach Counts usually starts with the slower schedule and builds, and early results looks like she is doing it again.
7) Langley (1-1)– Went toe-to-toe with Oakton for the first 40 minutes showing what could be, but couldn’t stay within range down the stretch. Pulled out a solid 13-11 win at Westfield in a competitive and close game. Hope to catch Woodson on an Oakton hangover this weekend.
8) West Springfield (3-1) – The Dean of the Patriot District seems to have reloaded and “coached them up”, as folks that were at the Pat on Friday night tell me the Spartans looked like the real deal in going toe-to-toe with the Cavs. Backed up the Woodson performance with 2 solid wins over Maret and Westfield at Annandale on Saturday where they gave up a combined total of 4 goals in 2 games.
9) Robinson (0-2) – Tough losses to solid teams this past week, but the Rams still have talent and I expect they will be there in the end. Led Yorktown early, before the Patriots broke out. Robo gets a shot to right the ship on Monday against an improving South County team.
10) West Potomac (1-0) – Solid win against Marshall in the opener, but the Annandale Tournament next weekend against Justice and South Lakes should tell us a lot more.
11) Westfield (2-2) – The Bulldogs handled Fairfax in their opener, and got a solid win over Lake Braddock at Annandale. I hear they had their chance to tie late down 1 against Langley and I expect they will continue to get better. Games with Marshall and Herndon this week should give them a chance to get back on track.
12) South Lakes (3-0) – Much like their NFL namesake this past season, the Seahawks are starting off strong after being off the radar. Quietly put together 3 solid wins this past week and seems to be on the upswing. Step up in competition this week with McLean, WestPo and Justice.
13) South County (3-0) – The Stallions have one of the biggest varsity rosters out there with 28 on the varsity squad, but it seems to be working with them early on as they have rolled to a 3-0 record out of the gate. A trip to Robinson on Monday should tell us a lot more. They do need to learn how to schedule their own tournaments though, as they seem to have given themselves a 24-2 team (last season) from Illinois and Oakton back-to-back next Saturday.
14) Justice (1-0) – Big win as expected over Wakefield doesn’t tell us much, but games with WestPo, W&L, and South Lakes next Saturday will. Still strong favorites in the National District based on other results.
15) McLean (1-0) – High hopes for the Highlanders with an opening win over Riverside. While the Rams are not what they have been in the past right now, McLean is on the upswing and deserves some recognition.
Also considered: Lake Braddock, Washington & Liberty

I'll take:
Battlefield
Woodson in a close game. Oakton is over rated
Cville
Woodson over Langley (apparently Langley got 2 late goals to beat out Westfield, but kudos for Westfield for making it close)
I hate to say it again, but I'll take Battlefield. But it's going to be close

Picks
Yorktown in a close one
Oakton steam rolls
Centreville
Langley
Battlefield
Brillant picks, but I think YT could go 2-0. After that Robinson win they might be better than we think.

You are of course welcome to your opinion, but the "Battlefield, Battlefield, Battlefield" chant constantly heard on this forum seems eerily similar to the "Russia, Russia, Russia" we constantly heard from CNN for 2 1/2 years (eventually proved false).
Or the stolen election discussion we heard on Foxy news.
But in the spirit of unity, I think one thing we can all agree on from both the left and right is the no one likes Battlefield except Battlefield…
Brutal, hilarious and truth. 😂
Battlefield will have fans after they run table on next 3 opponents.
True. Just let them keep talking.

Russia and Battlefield are coincidently run the same way with oligarch parents pulling the strings and writing false propaganda.
Welcome to your new America. Nostrovia
Don’t forget 10% for “the Big Guy”.
Vladimir here please stop using battlefield & mother Russia in same sentence.
We are a proud hardworking people and don’t want to be associated with the soft American propaganda publicity machine of battlefield.

I'm taking Oakton. I think Woodson gets exposed here...
FYI... Oakton has great assistant coaches (both played college lax) and they also have a gopd goalie coach. I wouldn't be so quick to say that they are not well coached. Not sure why you think the Woodson coach is COY??

The Annandale tournament was fun and mostly well run (should have had game balls on the end lines but whatever) and had an okay fan turnout.
Good tournament for lower and mid level varsity programs and some solid games all in all. 👍
They invited the centreville chainsaw and should have bracketed them better but no ill will towards Cville and the organizers for that. Watching that team was fun and once they woke up were like watching a pack of wolves take on the Care Bears. 😳
