Rankings as of 4/22 - “everybody’s got dudes….”

1. St. Christopher's School - Commits: 2019 ATK (Mercer), 2019 MID (VMI), 2020 ATK (Army), 2020 G (Cornell). Tons of depth + great coaching/system. Undefeated with a tough schedule. Elite goal tending. Can they continue the run? Can they beat SSSAS twice in a season?

2. St. Stephen’s and St. Agnes School - Commits: 2019 ATK (Hampden Sydney), 2019 ATK (UMBC), 2019 FOGO (UNC), 2019 MID (UMBC), 2019 MID (Penn State), 2020 LSM (UVA), 2020 MID (Furman). Best team in VISAA on paper with the toughest schedule. Loss to St. Chris 11-8 in early April still stings.

3. Episcopal High School - Commits: 2019 DEF (Duke), 2019 MID (Richmond), 2020 ATK (Army), 2020 DEF (Richmond). EHS has beat everybody not named St. Chris and SSSAS this year. They’re the clear #3 going into the playoffs. *full disclosure - I have not seen them play this year.

4. Paul VI Catholic High School - Commits: 2019 ATK (JHU), 2019 DEF (VMI), 2019 FOGO (Syracuse), 2020 MID (Duke), 2020 MID (Loyola). Defending state champs. Tons of depth + great coaching/system. Good in all aspects of the game but are they good enough to compete with 1-3 this year?

5. St. Anne’s-Belfield School - Commits: 2019 ATK (UVA-#1 ranked recruit), 2019 MID (Notre Dame), 2019 MID (Fairfield), 2019 MID (St. Ambrose), 2019 ATK (Dickinson), 2019 DEF (Denison), 2019 DEF (Dickinson), 2019 G (Mary Washington). Plenty of firepower on offense. Pick your poison on who to lock off (UVA or ND)? Offense will keep them in every game but is it enough to win in the championship ?

6. Norfolk Academy - Commits: 2020 A (Ohio State). Don’t let the lack of star power on the roster fool you, NA can play. Good coaching/depth. The team plays well together and won’t roll over come playoff time.

7. Blue Ridge School - Commits: 2019 DEF (Canisius), 2019 DEF (Tampa), 2019 MID (Stevenson), 2019 MID (Queens), 2020 LSM (Hobart), 2021 ATK (Reclass - Cornell). BR definitely has talent on both sides of the ball. They lack depth but are building something special in Saint George. They’ve shown that they can compete but will need to get hot on offense to make a deep run in the playoffs.

8. Collegiate School - Commits: 2020 ATK (Furman). Down year for the cougars but they took SSSAS to OT. They could get hot….

9. Bishop Ireton - Commits: 2019 DEF (John Carroll), 2019 DEF (Belmont Abbey). SSSAS just beat the brakes off them 20-4 but they beat Bishop O’Connell so you never know….

10. Bishop O’Connell High School - : 2019 ATK (Fairfield), 2019 FOGO (Limestone), 2019 G (Fairfield). Better than their 8-7 record would have you believe.

11. Cape Henry Collegiate School - Commits: 2019 M (Drexel), 2019 D (Roanoke). 9-7 team that will play hard.

12. Woodberry Forest School - Commits: 2019 LSM (Denison). Rebuilding year for the Tigers. Currently 4-12.

The difference between teams 1-6 in the VISAA comes down to defense. "Everybody's got guys" for sure on offense.

On St Chris’ defensive standouts I have to add in their middies. Rotating to get a short stick is not always a good idea as, IMO, their best defensive player is a Middie.
