Best player on the field? I bet 2 Indy players individually have more points than 3.


Give me a break. Randles is a 4 star on IL and NLF and ranked top 40 in the class overall. Indy's guys are unranked low level D3 players.


I’ll take the Scotty Roland kid over randles any day of the week. I’ve talked to beer himself, he agrees. He just kills the offense over there an any good team and scout around that. If I had to pick one for my team, give me Roland.

BF/ Madison and WP/Cosby will be better games to watch.


Battlefield by 4 or 5

2 teams that will lose in the semis so who cares.

Playing for Penn State? He may be committed, but that’s a long way from playing. Benchwarmer and practice JAG at best- far too small to get significant playing time.

I predict a year there and portal to a D3 in year 2.


I disagree that insidelacrosse’s existence validates their approach to “doing things” right (my gripe primarily with the paid evals), but Randles is legit. There is no denying that. He may not play much his first or second year but he will most definitely be a contributor by his junior year if he buys into tambroni’s system
Agreed, buying into Tambroni's system is the key. If he buys into that system, then for sure he'll contribute. Obviously, it remains to be seen if he does in fact buy into the system. But if he does, watch out.

You’re absolutely right. No undersized X attackman/primary facilitator has ever succeeded at Penn State.

What I don’t get is the number of kids on here from Arlington and Great Falls (YT and Langley)

Can we talk about the 3 other more interesting games?

Or in the Indy/YT fight here but if you think the stars mean much you are very mistaken.
When you pay for these things like you do with IL it cheapens it all.

Remeber your post so I can make the point on how great of a coach DW is winning state title with a bunch of low level D3 guys.

Imagine only scoring 11 on Herndon and thinking your offense is going to run anyone over.

Indy is 5-7 goals better but it could be close like the Stone bridge game was. It all depends on how often and how long Indy is man down for. High potential for late game issues in this one, especially if it's a blow out.


Stone Bridge D and goal is much better than YT. I am bias as a SB parent.

Having watched both, Indy live and YT on stream. I don’t think YT will know what is waiting for them.


Much better? The team that gave up 17 goals to Langley?


17 to Langley without Langley's top scoring attackman is a bad look for 5A as a whole.

Randles has 142 points this year


And much against weak teams. What did he do against Madison?
Maybe little guy cant hold up for a whole season? It happens.


I think he was 1 and 4 against madison
