I wish Langley and McLean were playing Madison in the regular season. Seems like we have five really solid teams with a shot here. Battlefield feels like a distant sixth now after that stinker against Indy but with their defense and goaltending they can still be in the mix if they can lock a team down in the playoffs and win a close, low-scoring game. Shaping up to be a great season.


as of now, it looks like any one of the big five (Yorktown, McLean, Langley, Robinson, Madison) could beat any of the other four on any given day. all five have some unknowns and some work to do to prove that they are as good as the others. but it is hard to see anyone competing with these five.


With Riverside beating Madison, all 5 are a step behind the boys out past Dulles? I guess they are used to it though, these boys have been losing to them since 8U.

Agreed. It’s a matter of who shows up to play on any given day.

No chance - Hayfield is tough and Chantilly is mediocre at best. Hayfield 12 Chantilly 5 final.

Exactly 3 games matter in the Liberty District.

4/8/24 - Yorktown @ Langley
4/12/24 - McLean @ Langley
4/25/24 - McLean @ Yorktown

Obviously, winning reg. season avoids brutal tourney semi and gets you home game in championship.

I’ll stick w/pick of Langley winning, but it’s so incredibly tight.

Much better. The game was back and forth the entire time and came down to the last possession AND McLean was playing their back up goalie. McLean showed that they are more than one player on offense and people better not sleep on them or #4


Mind the gap, here comes the hype train….

In the end, McLean lost. All that really matters is the final score.

On another train, the high powered Yorktown attack, with by pocket Hercules, put up surprisingly few goals.


Not hype..facts

McLean better than Yorktown? I still feel like liberty district is up for either of those 3 teams to take on any given night
