SSSA's second string would beat any VA public school.

Next year I will find you and laugh as 1st team gets beat by 2 public’s

Ok. You realize we don't even know the teams for next year. You sound ridiculous thinking that any VA public school has SSSA's current talent/depth. I'm pro public school, but I'm not completely unaware of the difference.

We will see next year when BF has all 4 on schedule plus Frreman and Western A

Pretty sure that Madison plays Potomac in a week or two. I guess we'll find out.

And SSSA the same week. Kudos to Madison coaches for not shying away from tough competition, but Saints will beat them by 10.

PvI and BI are beatable but the public schools lack the depth to compete with SSSA, Potomac, or Stoneridge. If you took the top 8 from Madison and the top 8 from Battlefield, it could be a game. Battlefield kept up with Potomac in fall brawl (I know it is short field) but the point of comparison is it is only 7v7

This year SSSA would absolutely destroy any VA public school.

SSSA has a lot of 26s. They go down hill after this year

Totally agree. Anecdotally, I know several teams lost a lot of good players to graduation and that loss is compounded by a bunch of injuries. I’ve heard about more concussions this year than I can remember - it’s been bad. That combination plus more good players opting for private schools means (not surprisingly) subpar play. I’m hopeful that next season will be better.

As a big supporter of Virginia rec and public lax, I'm afraid I have to agree with this. Looking at comparative scores is always shaky, but let's look at this weekend.

I would offer that Battlefield is clearly then 6A midseason #1. They are undefeated, beat Madison, look strong. A couple of weeks ago, they beat private PVI by 1. Good win right? Always impressive to beat a top 4 WCAC team. Well...maybe not.

PVI just got blown out by Holy Child, the 5th best team in the ISL, and lost to St Stephens and St Agnes by a whopping 14 goals. This suggests that the relative strength between VHSL and local privates seems to have shifted significantly. These results are a far cry from a few years back when Oakton beat St. Stephens and St Agnes on their run to a state championship--and they weren't as dominant as Battlefield seems to be this year. In fact, they lost to Madison twice on their way to the state title.

I really want this trend to shift back, but we are going to need to keep more talent at publics and rebuild the NVYLL if that is to happen.

Gainesville bailed so Madison didn’t play.

How does a team just bail on a game? That’s terrible. They will never be invited to anything again,
