Didn't Yorktown lose to a Riverside team that was missing their entire defense and goalie?

5A: Champion is Stone Bridge - They have multiple college commits, I believe its their time. Indy moves on, Stone Bridge steps in. Dark Horse is Riverside - they look just ok at the Turkey Shootout. However they seem to always be in the mix, so probably will be again to some extent.

4A: Champion is Salem - They return multiple guys from their state championship run last year. Dark Horse is Loudoun County - Building off of last years runner up success as well as there is some success throughout the school with the football team also making it to the state finals this year.


I'm not sure I'd call Langley a dark horse as their parents won't ever stop talking about them, but they are certainly a contender. As for a 6a champion I agree with Robinson, and my preferred dark horse is Cosby finally proving a school from the south can win it all. I think based off of precedent, I would flip the 5a schools. Until someone who isn't a stacked Indy can take down riverside I have to ride with them, especially with a strong 26 class. I don't know much about 4a but from what I do that seems right.

Yorktown is winning the district, region, and States.
Yorktown is a dark horse, nothing more.


My dark horse in the library would have to be Herndon. Returning a lot of strong players and just added another commit on defense the other day. I'm unsure that they will be able to take down Langley consistently, but if they took down Yorktown I wouldn't be surprised at all.


"added another commit"? What does that even mean?


One of their defenders committed to Bates

So the fogo from Robinson a few years who went to Madison his senior year was a coincidence?


His mother was a teacher at Madison. That was a legal transfer at the time. The rules have been changed and if your parent is a teacher, you have to go to the school as a ninth grader in order to be eligible.


Yep totally legal. I also guarantee that they never talked to the madison coaches at all about lacrosse before they made the transfer. Because if they did, that would be illegal.


I don't know who they talked to and neither do you. The question that was posed was how did the kid end up at Madison. The answer is that his mother was a teacher at Madison and that was a valid method of transfer in Fairfax County at the time. Mystery solved.
