It’s been a little while as we have been waiting for the sponsor checks to clear. But it is all good now and as the season comes down the stretch, it’s time for another BuckyLou McDonald’s Quarter Pounder Fanlax Class 6 Top 15 poll: 1) Yorktown (11-1) – The Pats are rolling this year and eyeing a se...

No foolin' April's first poll is here. Spring break has come and gone for the Northern District teams. The weather is getting warmer and the ground and the standings are getting shook up. Before some great Friday night lights action, we have a new FanLax BuckyLou Quarter Pounder VHSL Class 6 poll to...

What a start to the 2024 season. The Buckster can't remember an opening week with so many big games and movement amongst top teams. Like March Madness anything seems possible. Parity seems to be the overall theme this year in Class 6. The poll could change daily depending on when it is done. But wit...

With rosters set and the VHSL scrimmages underway, you know it had to be time to debut the Quarter Pounder Fanlax Buckylou top 15 preseason VHLS Class 6 poll. That’s right, the Ol’ Buckster has jumped the shark on the NIL sponsorship train and, in honor of the shift to quarters this year, went out a...

Man, this forum has been quiet. What happened to the olden days? With the axe set to fall for the Northern District rosters (if it hasn't already), setting up contenders and pretenders (participation trophy anyone?) we are only days away from the Ol' Buckster's preseason Class 6A rankings. But will ...

The Final Poll - Bonus Edition People always love more in life, so while sitting back waiting for a big day of games in Region D tonight, the Buckster decided to give the people what they want, and release this final (almost) pre-regional playoff poll of those teams still alive (sorry, no Westfield ...

The regular season has wrapped for the Northern Region, and the new season is about to start for many (Except for the Patriot District which already started and had chalk prevail in the District Quarters last week – thus the +). Here is where things stand heading into the postseason. Some good teams...

The season is in the final stretch. Anonymous smack talking boards are abuzz. But there is nothing like a good ol’ FanLax poll to give a picture of where things stand…. 1) Oakton (12-0)– The Cougars have solidified their position as the top dog (cat?) this past week with wins over Madison and Centre...

We are in the heart of the stretch run in Class 6 and the week gets off with a bang with a pair of top 5 battles, including the latest version of #1 vs #2 when Madison travels to Oakton. Up until Saturday, I would have leaned for the Warhawks in that one, but the Cougars have climbed the Mt. Everest...

Things get real in Class 6 this week with a number of showdown games that may help to give us an idea of the pecking order. However, this year appears to be more wide open than most, so what is decided this week may not hold up in May or June (or even next week). Let’s see how the Top 15 stands head...

Since UAO dubbed me the oddsmaker of the board, here are the lines as I see them for the first part of the week for the big games in Class 6: Monday: Westfield (+4) at Centreville (o/u 22) Chantilly (+6) at James Madison (o/u 14) Langley (-7) at McLean (o/u 17) Falls Church (+3) at Edison (o/u 19) ...

Spring has broken for just about everyone in Class 6, with several teams having returned from taking their lax talents on the road, and we are ready for the stretch run over the next several weeks in what may be one of the most open races in years. Without further ado, my post spring break top 15 lo...

Two weeks in and the picture is starting to clear up a little in Class 6 (maybe the rain helped clean things up this weekend?), but parity still seems to be the name of the game as we are seeing that a lot of things are possible in any given (not Sunday) day in the VHSL. My top 15 VHSL Class 6 teams...

With the first week of real action under our belts (pre-season scrimmages, while nice, can’t really be judged as some play to win, some play to see what they got, and some just try to play everyone before shortening the benches), we have seen some movement as some teams are, as Dennis Green once sai...

With rosters set and the VHSL scrimmage window about to open, the ol’ Buckster figured now was as good a time as any to debut my top 15 for Class 6 heading into the ’23 season and a comment or two on each. I think Dominion is still the Titan of Class 4, but there are some sleeping giants that are sl...

So in 6A who would be your top 10 if none of these teams stack up? Don't worry SO, the rankings will be back this year. :ugeek: It's a little too early for them now, but from what I've seen, you guys will be in them, as well as a number of your opponents (and those VAMG19 says are good). The questi...

Spring schedules are starting to come out. Looking forward to some of the out of District matchups. Battlefield Scrimmages Westfield Riverside Season Yorktown James Madison South County Woodson Falls Church Centreville :idea: I am thinking Battlefield may be able to get over the hump and finally wi...

NoVa: As discussed and requested here is the approximate NoVa HS coaching resume for Victor Chen - please correct as you may know: - Thomas Jefferson: '06-'09 - Lake Badluck: '10-'14 - Chantilly: '15-'18 - Herndon: '19-'20 - Freedom: '20-'21 - West Potomac: '21-'22 And now Lake Badluck, the reunion...

This is the perfect spot to discuss coaching changes as well. Don’t know everything that happened at WP, but know there were issues. VC has a track record of success but his recent stays have been short-lived. Not to worry, I hear the Lake Badluck job is open as well. Could it be another off-season ...

Battlefield 20-2 and Colgan 15-14 last night.

As for next week, give me Woodson and Robinson to set up an epic rematch in the Region C final and Battlefield and Champe in the Region B final.
