There is now way he could ever get shut down!

. He was getting limited but dodge tons of times but was shut down by 12 just like last Madison Yorktown game he got shut down

He didn’t play up to his usual standard. Missed a few passes that he usually connects on. He also had a goal and four assists facing a shutoff the whole game.

He's a great player. YT actually had the most success early in the game when Madison was maybe overplaying him a bit, because he was great at finding open guys.

Anyone care to take the bait on Thomas Dale getting a spot in the State bracket?

I think it gets some credit, but pumping in goals against the likes of Marshall, Wakefield, Herndon, WL times 3 doesn’t move people.

These announcers don’t seem to understand that “in the crease” is a turnover.

Say good night Region D, gonna be a short stay in states.

It was sloppy between the 30s, but both goalies did play very well, FWIW.

.

They both stood on their heads…

If you refer to “two steps ahead” as calling for a stick check on the opposing team when the game is close, then yeah i guess

8-7 Madison.

Any score update?

That was the final

Not quite as close as it would appear tho Madison was up by 3 with 3 mins left.

Agree; Madison appeared to be in control with 4 mins left. But despite winning the draw and having an opportunity to run the time down, then they chose to shoot, and then double-fouled the Yorktown attacker to give the Patriots an easy 2-man up goal. After that, they proceeded to win the draw, and instead of stalling, shoot again, and give up a goal on the other end. Madison won the draw again (nice work by their LSM) and still didn't run an effective stall, giving Yorktown one last chance after a tripping foul with 22 seconds left. D held up a man down for the one goal win. I would imagine that they will want to clean up the end of game strategy for states.

How is this a “master class”? It sounds like very bad coaching!

Dude you can’t have higher than a 70 IQ😂

If the previous write up was accurate- and how Madison played out the end of the game- it was a total failure of coaching, like the last guy said.
Or, the players just ignored everything they should have been taught and coach failed in benching them.

Did the game play out as was posted?

Again, super wierd that teams play for district titles and even if you lose, you can be put back into a state playoff. Most other states and sports certainly have district titles but once that happens, only the winner of the district advances. Shrugs shoulders.

This is the problem for all the sports in Virginia. The regular season means very little- all the teams make district playoffs regardless of how they did during the regular season/ non district games mean very little. The season extends for weeks. IMHO the district championship should go to the team with the best record in the regular season. Only district champs should make the regional tournament and only regional champs should make the state championship. You would cut weeks off the season and reduce the strain of coaches and refs and not interfere with graduation prom summer club etc

Yeah, screw the kids who want to play!!

LESS LACROSSE!

We are talking what maybe 1 game (maybe 2) for most teams and allows the season to end at somewhat of a normal time frame. This would allow various kids, particularly seniors, to enjoy their last couple of weeks of school before heading off to college or their next adventure. I can assure you not all the kids on the team feel more lacrosse is better.

It would also eliminate the participation trophy aspect of this.

It sounds like your son may not like lacrosse and didn't win anything. I can assure you my son's team was extremely happy to win regionals, ESPECIALLY the seniors, most of whom won't play organized sports ever again. Also, you know that there is a whole summer between the end of high school and the start of college, right? If your son would rather start bussing tables at Chili's a week earlier instead of spending time with his teammates, that's too bad.

Also, what participation trophies? There are no literal trophies, and the "reward" for going through to the next round is busting your butt in practice in VA heat in June and having another hard-fought game, how is that a blue ribbon for everyone? People are just throwing "participation trophy" out mindlessly every time they don't like something about youth sports, it makes zero sense here.
