2022 Virginia Public GLAX

[VAMomGlax19]

Any scores from BI/Visi game or Yorktown scrimmage?

[StackO]

Good match up tonight at Battlefield back and forth game early 8-7 Riverside at half. Battlefield came out strong second half took lead for a few minutes then with 12:53 remaining and Riverside up 10-9 Battlefield got 4th yellow played down rest of game. Final 16-12 Riverside

[T.Kornheiser]

Paul VI 15. Yorktown 12. Wasn't as close as the score appears. 14-8 and Coach Hayden subbed generously.

With scrimmages almost wrapped and the games starting for real next week, any thoughts on what the rankings look like in 6A heading into the season? I think we can all agree that Dominion is #1 in 4A and Riverside is #1 or #2, along with Douglas Freeman, in 5A. But 6A seems a little more open and up for debate with new teams emerging and traditional powers falling. Anyone want to take a shot and offer their thoughts?

My top 15 heading into the season are:

1) Langley
2) Yorktown
3) Robinson
4) Battlefield
5) West Springfield
6) Madison
7) Oakton
8) Centreville
9) John Champe
10) Washington & Liberty
11) Freedom SR
12) West Potomac
13) Colonial Forge
14) Woodson
15) Annandale

Who did I miss? who is too high? too low? Many of these teams play each other, so it will sort itself out...

[StackO]

Not too bad at all. Good post!

my totally uneducated guesses at the top 5 are as follows. I dont have a D in HS anymore, so I am just spitballing this.

1 - Yorktown
2 - Langley
3 - West Spring
4 - Robo
5 - Battlefield

With the regular season set to start this week, thought it would be good to post the schedules of the top 6A teams mentioned in the polls on here, as there are a series of nice matchups in the first 2 weeks of the year that should help sort things out real quick for a number of teams. Hopefully Winter got its last blast this weekend, and Spring will show up for the season.

The big head to head matchups start Monday night when Battlefield travels to Freedom SR and then continue on Tuesday when Langley goes to Oakton and Washington & Liberty goes to W. Springfield and it grows from there in upcoming days.

I can’t bet on the Battlefield game. But I will take Langley -5 and W&L +8.

-Freedom covering, take the over - see a shootout in the teens
-Langley covering, take the over - Langley in the high teens, Oakton high single digits
-W&L covering, take the under - 26 is a big number. Both teams have good goalies. See a low teens to high single digits type of score.

Battlefield 17 Freedom SR 5

[Coyote-K]

I would have South County in the top 15 this year. They finished #13 in 2021 and have a least 3 D1 commits and another D3 commit.

South Lakes (#17 in 2021) could be a sleeper and crack the top 15 as a majority of their starting line-up last year was freshman and sophomores. Though the program has only had one winning season in the last 20+ years.

Independence moved up to Class 5 this year and could start closing the gap on Riverside (lost 9-20 last year) with a lot of returning players and some D1 commits.

More scores from opening night:

Annandale (H) 12 - Parkview 0

Patriot 24 - Colgan (H) 19
(did the goalies in this game decide not to start the season until the 15th like most other teams? One of the highest combined totals we've seen on here in a while)

Easy on the goalies. It takes more than a goalie to make a save. If the defense sucks, the goalie doesn’t stand a chance. Patriot has a D1 goalie who is very good. So let’s not knock the goalie please

[StackO]

2 girls 1 from each team scored 19 of the goals. 10 from a Patriot player and 9 from Colgan

Not trying to knock the goalies at all. Both teams are known for having pretty strong goalies, so such a high combined score is an oddity, especially now that the regular season is here. The Monmouth commit for Patriot is very good. Made me wonder if they didn't have their regular keepers out there. But you are right, the attack has to get through 11 girls before they get to the goalie, so I am not sure if it says more about their defenses or the strong attack on both squads (or both).

Impressive win by Battlefield last night. We will see how Freedom does in the jump up to Class 6, but that was impressive for BF to go to their place and do that.

Things get going for a lot more teams tonight. Still like Langley to cover and win, and W&L to cover but WS to win a close one in the marquee matchups.

I hadn't been out to see the Purple since pre-Coronavirus when Washington & Lee went all the way out there & simply crushed the Chargers. The #14 Cavaliers went out to the Tilly & found a much improved team. It looked like the best Charger team i've seen since the Blonde One was coaching there (five years ago (?) man do I miss the old reference pages with the year by year results...fun fact: MaxPreps still has him coaching the LB Bruins...don't they wish...haha!) Anyway some decent players in the Chantilly line-up getting 8 goals against the Cavs who used all three goalies. Woodson did manage to get 19 as they got two of four injured starters back. Good snack bar & weather for the Chargers home opener.

At the start of the season, offense is waaaaay ahead of defense.
