Caught both the LB/Oakton game (great game throughout, neither team had lead more than 2, came down to couple possessions at end) and some of Woodson/McLean game (good competitive game). Robinson game on the other hand...

Games this week at Robinson tournament (both at Robinson and Woodson sites) have been strong (even with few kids missing due to spring break). Look forward to final day today.
I've been impressed with several of the goalies at the tourney. Their teams aren't doing so well, but they are playing really well.

Freedom looks pretty good, but I don't buy John Champe at #8 - they lost to Battlefield 15-6 and were down to Patriot 15-2 at halftime (at least according to the reporters here). Robinson/Riverside is too close to call and won't get decided this year. Riverside plays Patriot tonight so that will be interesting.

*Updated Nova Top 10
1. Robinson (8-0) Great FOGOs* and deepest team all around (dismantled Chantilly today by 18)
2. Riverside (5-1) Best/deepest team in 5A
3. Battlefield (6-0) Best goalie, great team ball. Coach Suthers getting it done!
4. Patriot (4-1) Great individual talent who can take over games
5. Freedom (3-2) Tough team, might make some noise in the playoffs
6. Yorktown (4-2) Great defense and some offensive weapons with cannons
7. Lake Braddock (6-1) Arguably the best offensive duo in the state (tight 2 goal win over Oakton today)
8. John Champe (3-2) Enough talent to get to a region semi-final or final
9. Briar Woods (5-2) Solid team who could shock some teams come playoff time (beat Meridian by 7 today)
10. Madison (6-3) Strong defensive players and attackmen. Missing Coach Fitzgerald (handled West Po by 10 today)
Riverside beat Robinson in a pre-season scrimmage without their best d-pole (UVa commit) so would put them #1.
