Final score - Langley 17 - Herndon 4.

A reliable source relayed Herndon v McLean score as Hornets 17 McLean (H) 13.

Does that mean all teams are District Champions?

At this point in the season the 2-1 or 3-0 Hornets would be preparing to play Centreville. The only blemish on their record may have come at the hands of Yorktown. But... given the contest would've been played at the Hornet's Nest I am giving the edge to the Hornets.

March 9th action...

Feel free to pick 'em!

Herndon v Dominion scrimmage last night. The snack bar was closed! The scrimmage started with Herndon scoring three quick goals. Dominion quickly equalized the tally. At the half the score was 11-5. By then Herndon had suffered four yellow cards and had to play down a player for the rest of the game...

Best Liberty District draw control team - Langley?

Just noticing that some schools play the minimum required games and others play the maximum allowed. It’d seem to promote parity if all schools played the same number of games. Also through the power of scheduling some play weaker out of conference opponents than others. Year after year this trend s...

Will Langley suffer any on the offensive or defensive end of the field given the loss of last years senior class? Can anyone in the State challenge them?

VirginiaTerp’s crystal ball seems to be working!

Not much to dispute there.

The Liberty District is the deepest. With the best competition in the middle of the pack.

The intent was not to thrash anyone. But to get opinions flowing. I like VALaxer's assessment of the Liberty district - well stated. I do find it interesting that teams like Langley can get so much better than their competition where the average margin of victory of their games is higher than most. ...

The implication is yours.

Favorites and “distant thirds” in the Patriot and Concorde Districts?

Do the other Districts (Patriot and Concorde) have a front-runner that is heads and shoulders above the rest? Which team in those Districts is the “distant 3rd”?

What makes one team “...a distant 3rd.”?

This implies the best teams are miles apart from the others. What causes this to happen? Is it mental, athleticism, coaching, favorable officiating, other biases? Can these gaps be overcome in the span of one season?

Does the famous Bobby Jones quote, "Golf is a game that is played on a five-inch course — the distance between your ears." apply to being distances apart in lax? - "[Lacrosse] is a game that is played on a five-inch [field] — the distance between your ears."

Springlike temps today. Lax tryouts and the season are upon us. Are there any pre-season prognostications?

How will the Liberty District unfold (below listing is alphabetical)? Will the State Champ come from this group?
Herndon, Langley, McLean, South Lakes, Washington-Liberty, Yorktown
